trigger warnings for murder / war.

❛  you always were an unruly child. i adored that about you. now fly.  ❜

❛  don’t blame yourself.  ❜

❛  you don’t know how it is. to see someone you love die. because of you, for you.  ❜

❛  who taught you to fight like this?  ❜

❛  hatred and prejudice will never be eradicated.  ❜

❛  to have a scapegoat — that’s the key.  ❜

❛  kings die, realms fall, but magic endures.  ❜

❛  i missed those awkward compliments of yours.  ❜

❛  it’s bound to come in handy. and, each time it does, you will think of me.  ❜

❛  do anything stupid, and i’ll kill you, too.  ❜

❛  kill me if you must. i’ve nothin’ to live for anyway.  ❜

❛  whisper to the wolves. tell them to stay away.  ❜

❛  i was attacked — had to defend myself.  ❜

❛  once i was free… i shall be free once more.  ❜

❛  come on, let me give you a taste of my life.  ❜

❛  well… some causes require a sacrifice.  ❜

❛  done my fair share of fighting. wouldn’t carry a sword if i didn’t know how to use it.  ❜

❛  have you killed humans?  ❜

❛  i want to see how you manage in a fight, if you can fight at all.  ❜

❛  nothing wrong with having a drink in good company.  ❜

❛  i merely know when to indulge my pride, and when i must swallow it.  ❜

❛  we can fight another time, in another place. where the walls have no ears.  ❜

❛  next time you wonder why i’m so bitter… well, there’s your answer.  ❜

❛  suddenly, i’ve an immense desire to drink.  ❜

❛  i trust you have an explanation for this. a very good one.  ❜

❛  i’ve had nothing but nightmares lately, pretty horrible.  ❜

❛  i was afraid you were dead.  ❜

❛  they’ll know where we’ve gone, they’ll know how to find me!  ❜

❛  if i’m to die today, i wish to look smashing for the occasion.  ❜

❛  women only ever beautify themselves for their own satisfaction.  ❜

❛  always believed attack was the best defense.  ❜

❛  don’t treat me like a child.  ❜

❛  i like it when you smile. come here. everything will be all right.  ❜

❛  i won’t let them take you, you know that?  ❜

❛  you gotta keep clear, stay out of trouble.  ❜

❛  i cannot hide forever. i must face them!  ❜

❛  you humans are so… impractical.  ❜

❛  i’ll remember your teachings always. and the sacrifice you made.  ❜

❛  we all knew what we were signing up for.  ❜

❛  no. i will flee no more.  ❜

❛  lying didn’t always come easily to you.  ❜

❛  we’ve done the hardest part. only got the pleasant bits now.  ❜

❛  you worry too much. what will be, will be.  ❜

❛  you were born to greatness.  ❜

❛  appearances can be deceiving.  ❜

❛  you’re so charming when you try to be funny.  ❜

❛  we may not survive this. in fact, our chances are slim.  ❜

❛  we’ve come a long way, and i’ll be damned if we’ve come to fail.  ❜

❛  i admire your optimism. wish i shared it.  ❜

❛  i wish to leave, go far away. and i’d like you to come with me.  ❜

❛  you know me. nothing i like more than breaking rules.  ❜

❛  what can you know about saving the world, silly?  ❜

❛  you know who i am. and why i’m here.  ❜

❛  how many have you already killed? how many more might you still?  ❜

❛  i sense your pain. i see your fear.  ❜

❛  i don’t feel a thing anymore.  ❜

“TICK, TICK… BOOM!” SENTENCE STARTERS

starters from the 2021 film version of jonathan larson’s musical. feel free to change pronouns, etc. some lines are somewhat suggestive.

note: i left out “sunday” and “real life” because the former doesn’t have anything that works for starters, really, and the latter is just one line repeated.

30/90

’ stop the clock. ’ ’ time to regroup before you lose the bout. ’ ’ back it up. ’ ’ time to refocus. ’ ’ the years are getting shorter. ’ ’ the lines on your face are getting longer. ’ ’ i feel like i’m treading water, but the riptide’s getting stronger. ’ ’ don’t panic. ’ ’ you can’t fight it. it’s like taxes. ’ ’ at least it happens only once in your life. ’ ’ they’re singing “happy birthday.” i just want to lay down and cry. ’ ’ i just want to lay down and cry. ’ ’ it’s not just another birthday. ’ ’ why can’t i stay twenty-nine? hell, i still feel like i’m twenty-two. ’ ’ turn thirty, bang! you’re dead. ’ ’ what can you do? ’ ’ try one more approach before you’re out of gas. ’ ’ the hairs on your head are getting thinner. ’ ’ i feel like a clean-up batter on a team that ain’t a winner. ’ ’ at least you’re not alone. your friends are here, too. ’ ’ i just wish i could run away. ’ ’ who cares about a birthday? ’ ’ can you be optimistic? ’ ’ you’re no longer the ingenue. ’ ’ emerald city’s gone to hell since the wizard blew off his command. ’ ’ clock is ticking, that’s for certain. ’ ’ i just wish it all were a dream. ’ ’ it feels much more like doomsday. ’ ’ seems like i’m in for a twister. i don’t see a rainbow, do you? ’ ’ i want the spoils, but not too fast. ’ ’ the world is calling. ’ ’ why can’t i stay a child forever? ’ ’ what can i do? ’

BOHO DAYS

’ this is the life. ’ ’ shower’s in the kitchen. there might be some soap. ’ ’ there’s dishes in the sink, brush your teeth if you can cope. ’ ’ you’d better hope there’s a lightbulb in there. ’ ’ the time is flying, and everything is dying. ’ ’ i thought by now, i’d have a dog, a kid, a wife. ’ ’ the ship is sort of sinking, so let’s start drinking before we start thinking: is this the life? ’

GREEN GREEN DRESS

’ you’re my juliet. ’ ’ cool me down before i jump into your thighs. ’ ’ what a pleasure to unwrap. ’ ’ let’s find a chair where we can sit and talk. ’ ’ maybe we could take a walk. ’ ’ tell me what you’re thinking. talk about your day. ’ ’ tell me what to do—i’ll do anything you say. ’ ’ can i hear you laugh, babe? ’ ’ can you make me smile? i’ll forget what’s on my mind for a while? ’ ’ can i tie you up, love? ’ ’ can i tie you up, love? if you tell me yes, i’ll unbutton every button down your green dress. ’

NO MORE

’ no more walking thirteen blocks with thirty pounds of laundry in the freezing dead of winter. ’ ’ no more walking up six flights of stairs, or throwing down the key because there’s no buzzer. ’ ’ hello to my walk-in closets, tidy as park avenue. hello, my butcher block table. i could get used to you. ’ ’ i could get used to you. ’ ’ no more noxious fumes from gas heaters that are illegal, or will blow up while you are sleeping.’ ’ no more taking a shower in the kitchen while my roommate’s eating breakfast, and i’m getting water on his corn flakes. ’ ’ we’re moving on up to the east side, to a deluxe apartment in the sky. ’ ’ hello dear fellow, how do you do? ’

JOHNNY CAN’T DECIDE

’ break of day, the dawn is here, i’m up and pacing. ’ ’ compromise, or persevere? ’ ’ i have no guide. i want to hide. ’ ’ can i make my mark if i give up my spark? ’ ’ i can’t decide. ’ ’ you long to live by the sea. you’re through with competition. you want a life with me—i’ve got a tough decision. ’ ’ can i settle down and still not drown? ’ ’ you’re gonna have it all. your luck will never end. i’m backed against the wall. ’ ’ ambition eats right through you. ’ ’ i don’t see why you hold so tight to the things that you feel are true. ’ ’ how can you soar when you’re nailed to the floor? ’ ’ how do you know when it’s time to let go? ’

PLAY GAME

’ walk through times square, and what do you see? ugliness where architecture used to be. ’ ’ the glamor and style have been replaced by gaud. ’ ’ it’s just like america: lacking innovation, just getting by on glitz and reputation. ’ ’ so what if it’s crap? at least you won’t write for free. ’ ’ make thousands of dollars for a first draft, and your life won’t depend on whether frank rich laughed. just forget shakespeare, beckett, moliere. ’

THERAPY

’ i feel bad that you feel bad. ’ ’ i feel bad that you feel bad about me feeling bad. ’ ’ i was afraid that you’d be afraid if i told you i was afraid of intimacy. ’ ’ if you don’t have a problem with my problem, maybe the problem’s simply co-dependency. ’ ’ when i said “no,” i meant “yes, i know. ’ ’ now i know that you knew that i knew you adored me. ’ ’ the ring was the wrong thing to bring, if you meant what you said when you said rings bore you. ’ ’ i’m not mad that you got mad. ’ ’ you said i should go drop dead! ’ ’ i thought you thought i reacted shallowly. ’ ’ now it’s out in the open. now it’s off our chests. ’ ’ now it’s 4 a.m. ’ ’ it’s too late to screw. let’s just get some rest. ’

SWIMMING

’ i hate this locker room. ’ ’ why won’t she answer my calls? ’ ’ pump up the volume. ’ ’ how’s the water? ’ ’ there’s that girl. ’ ’ this guy’s too slow. ’ ’ can i make it to forty? ’ ’ keep the shoulder down. ’

COME TO YOUR SENSES

’ you’re on the air. i’m underground. ’ ’ the signal’s fading. ’ ’ for you, i would do anything. ’ ’ you’ve turned off the volume just when i’ve begun to sing. ’ ’ come to your senses! defenses are not the way to go, and you know—or at least, you knew. ’ ’ everything’s strange. ’ ’ you’ve changed. ’ ’ i don’t know what to do to get through to you. ’ ’ i have to laugh. we sure put on a show. ’ ’ love is passe in this day and age. how can we expect it to grow? ’ ’ you as the knight, me as the queen… all i’ve got tonight is just static on a screen. ’ ’ the fences inside are not for real if we feel as we did—and i do. ’ ’ can’t you recall when this all began? it was only you and me. ’ ’ now, the air is filled with confusion. we’ve replaced care with illusion. ’ ’ it’s cool to be cold. ’ ’ nothing lasts anymore. love becomes disposable. ’ ’ suspense is fine, if you’re just an empty image emanating out of a screen. ’ ’ baby, be real. ’ ’ baby, you can feel again. ’ ’ you don’t need a music box melody to know what i mean. ’ ’ deep in my eyes, what do you see? ’ ’ listen to me. ’

WHY

’ when i was nine, we entered a talent show down at the y. you couldn’t sing, but i said "no one cares.” ’ ’ we sang it over and over and over until we got it right. ’ ’ when we emerged, three o'clock sun had made the grass into hay, and i thought: hey, what a way to spend a day. ’ ’ i make a vow, right here and now: i’m gonna spend my time this way. ’ ’ i wonder now: am i cut out to spend my time this way? ’ ’ i’m gonna spend my time this way. ’

LOUDER THAN WORDS

’ why do we play with fire? ’ ’ why do we leave our hand on the stove, although we know we’re in for some pain? ’ ’ why do we refuse to hang a light when the streets are dangerous? ’ ’ why does it take an accident before the truth gets through to us? ’ ’ cages or wings, which do you prefer? ’ ’ fear or love? ’ ’ fear or love? baby, don’t say the answer: actions speak louder than words. ’ ’ why should we try to be our best when we can just get by and still gain? ’ ’ why do we nod our heads although we know the boss is wrong as rain? ’ ’ why should we blaze a trail when the well-worn path seems safe and so inviting? ’ ’ how could i see the dismay and keep from fighting? ’ ’ cages or wings, which do you prefer? ask the birds. ’ ’ what does it take to wake up a generation? ’ ’ how can you make someone take off and fly? ’ ’ if we don’t wake up and shake up the nation, we’ll eat the dust of the world wondering why. ’ ’ why do we stay with lovers who we know, down deep, just aren’t right? ’ ’ why would we rather put ourselves through hell than sleep alone at night? ’ ’ why does it take catastrophe to start a revolution? ’ ’ if we’re so free, tell me why so many people bleed. ’ ’ actions speak louder than words. ’

OUT OF MY DREAMS

’ we can stay out all night and kiss on the street. ’ ’ we can stay in bed, love all day. ’ ’ i go to work with my mind on you, anticipating what we’re going to do. ’ ’ you left my life. stay out of my dreams. ’ ’ was it just a dream? ’ ’ stay far away. ’

ONLY TAKES A FEW

’ almost missed this one. ’ ’ sure beats living in town. ’ ’ the beaches are half a mile away. ’ ’ it doesn’t matter much to me. ’ ’ it only takes a few cents more to go first class. ’ ’ it’s called quintessence. ’ ’ lobster okay? ’ ’ there’ll be enough for the guy in the attic—what’s his name? ’ ’ i remember now what living is. ’ ’ watch your step! ’ ’ long live the island. ’
