GONE GIRL (2014) SENTENCE STARTERS

❛ What have we done to each other? ❜

❛ I’m the guy to save you from all this awesomeness. ❜

❛ I think it’s your chin. Yeah, it’s quite villainous. ❜

❛ I have to kiss you now. ❜

❛ Life. I don’t remember the point. ❜

❛ Go home, fuck her brains out, slap her with your penis. “There’s some wood for you, bitch.” ❜

❛ Now, I don’t panic easily…but it’s weird, right? ❜

❛ Should I be concerned? ❜

❛ I love your parents…but they really can be assholes. ❜

❛ I love having strangers pick at my scabs. ❜

❛ You have a world-class vagina. ❜

❛ We are gonna take this very, very seriously. ❜

❛ I feel like I’m on a Law & Order episode. ❜

❛ Should I know my wife’s blood type? ❜

❛ Marriage is hard work, and compromise, and more work. ❜

❛ You naughty minx. ❜

❛ We’re so cute. I wanna punch us in the face. ❜

❛ Everyone knows “complicated” is code for “bitch.” ❜

❛ It seems like the kind of thing that would happen to [name]. ❜

❛ Just because I don’t like to be around [name] doesn’t mean I don’t care about her. ❜

❛ Anyway, whoever took her is bound to bring her back. ❜

❛ Well, we have our first clue. ❜

❛ You’ve been up all night. You wanna look like you’ve been up all night. ❜

❛ Hey, be careful today, okay? ❜

❛ I’ll balance on the exact fucking edge of your emotional razor. ❜

❛ I knew you never should have moved back here. ❜

❛ We are all worried. We are all scared. ❜

❛ We had to file a restraining order. ❜

❛ I’m hoping you can tell me what this means. ❜

❛ Hello, stranger. Fancy meeting you here. ❜

❛ Are you following me? ❜

❛ Promise me we’ll never be like them. ❜

❛ If it happens, we’ll deal with it. ❜

❛ We have each other. Everything else is background noise. ❜

❛ You don’t trust me. You don’t trust my judgment. ❜

❛ I don’t get why you’re daring me to be someone I don’t wanna be. ❜

❛ You look like hammered shit. ❜

❛ You really don’t like him, do you? ❜

❛ Could you please not share that with anyone? ❜

❛ It’s like you’re the goddamn Homecoming King. ❜

❛ It looked like you were having fun. ❜

❛ I am in a nightmare! ❜

❛ My God, this place literally smells like feces. ❜

❛ Hey…have you told me everything? ❜

❛ All I want is to come over here, have a beer with you, and not be judged. Can we do that? ❜

❛ I’m gonna go Benadryl myself to sleep. ❜

❛ I feel like I could disappear. ❜

❛ I called you a hundred times. You gotta pick up your phone! ❜

❛ I needed to see you. I know this is a bad idea. ❜

❛ Can you at least tell me you love me? ❜

❛ Did you, by any chance, tell anybody anything about us? ❜

❛ Did you leave a pair of red panties in my office? ❜

❛ Never say that out loud again. ❜

❛ It’s our last time together. Let’s make the most of it. ❜

❛ Last night, I went from desperate to pathetic. I became someone I don’t even like. ❜

❛ We could have had this fight four hours ago. I’m late. ❜

❛ You’re a fucking coward. ❜

❛ For Valentine’s Day, I thought I’d buy a gun. ❜

❛ I’m being paranoid. Crazy. It’s just… I’d sleep better with a gun. ❜

❛ You fucking idiot. You fucking asshole! You fucking lied to my fucking face! ❜

❛ If anybody finds out, you’re totally fucked. ❜

❛ I was scared for you before, and now, I’m fucking petrified. ❜

❛ But the truth is, you’d have to be a sociopath to behave normally in this situation because it’s the most abnormal situation in the world. ❜

❛ I’m so sick of being picked apart by women. ❜

❛ I have nothing to hide. ❜

❛ You have to fucking talk to me! ❜

❛ Why have you kept this stuff? It’s like a little box of hate. ❜

❛ I love you no matter what. But you need to tell me. ❜

❛ Are you asking me if I killed my wife? ❜

❛ Because sometimes the way he looks at me I think…He may truly kill me. ❜

❛ I am so much happier now that I’m dead. ❜

❛ Let the punishment fit the crime. ❜

❛ You need to bleed. A lot. A lot, a lot. ❜

❛ But, then, we never really existed. ❜

❛ He loved a girl I was pretending to be. ❜

❛ "Cool Girl. “ Men always use that as their defining compliment. ❜

❛ I was fucking game. ❜

❛ What’s the point of being together if you’re not the happiest? ❜

❛ You think I’d let him destroy me and end up happier than ever? No fucking way. ❜

❛ I need 20 seconds where you don’t judge me, interrupt me or get angry. ❜

❛ You married a complete psychopath. ❜

❛ Part of me was relieved when I thought she was gone. ❜

❛ As long as you don’t own a python and blast death metal at 4 AM, we’re gonna be best friends. ❜

❛ Least you could do is not keep his secrets for him. ❜

❛ I believe you. It’s just the craziest thing I’ve ever heard. ❜

❛ I always wondered why you kept in touch after…everything. ❜

❛ The whole thing just feels hinky. ❜

❛ Whatever they found, I think it’s safe to assume that it’s very bad. ❜

❛ Don’t take it personally. ❜

❛ I thought we were steering clear of men for a while. ❜

❛ I’m not sad. I’m angry. ❜

❛ Why should I die? I’m not the asshole. ❜

❛ That sounds like a very bad idea. ❜

❛ This is a ticking time bomb. You’ve gotta throw yourself on it. ❜

❛ Where is the money, sweetheart? ❜

❛ You’re hiding. I don’t know why, and I don’t really care. ❜

❛ There are a lot of people out there a lot worse than we are. ❜

❛ Every time you look smug or annoyed or tense, I’m gonna hit you with a gummy bear. ❜

❛ Knowing you were out there was the only thing that’s kept me going these past few years. ❜

❛ Why are you so good to me? ❜

❛ Why is she dressed like a babysitter? ❜

❛ Come on, you’re staring at ghosts. ❜

❛ Not that I don’t appreciate Bait Shop Chic. ❜

❛ There are cameras everywhere. ❜

❛ You are more than safe, and I am not letting you get away again. ❜

❛ You’re probably the most hated man in America right now. ❜

❛ Just because I am not a murderer doesn’t make me a good guy. I’m not a good guy. ❜

❛ And if you come back, I promise I will spend every day making it up to you. ❜

❛ They disliked me, they liked me, they hated me. And now they love me. ❜

❛ I gave you the benefit of the doubt over and over. Every time you said something stupid, I thought, "Maybe he’s just stupid.” ❜

❛ I’ve forgotten how to behave. ❜

❛ Fire doesn’t erase blood. ❜

❛ Come home. I dare you. ❜

❛ You fucking bitch. ❜

❛ She slit his throat with a box cutter. ❜

❛ All right, you can stop pretending now. ❜

❛ You do know I was just telling you what you wanted to hear, right? ❜

❛ You know me in your marrow. ❜

❛ Take off your clothes. I need to make sure you’re not wearing a wire. ❜

❛ You killed someone. You’re a murderer. ❜

❛ I’m a fighter. I fought my way back to you. ❜

❛ I’ll make sure that no one forgets the pain you caused me. ❜

❛ When two people love each other and can’t make that work…that’s the real tragedy. ❜

❛ I swear, you two are the most fucked-up people I’ve ever known. ❜

❛ I would never, ever hurt you. ❜

❛ I don’t care. I am leaving you. ❜

❛ I won’t have to teach your child to hate you. He’ll do that all by himself. ❜

❛ You fucking cunt! ❜

❛ The only time you liked yourself was when you were trying to be someone this cunt might like. ❜

❛ I’ve killed for you. Who else can say that? ❜

❛ Yes, I loved you. And then all we did was resent each other, and try to control each other. And cause each other pain. ❜

❛ You’re breaking my heart. ❜

❛ You’re my voice of reason. I need you with me on this. ❜

❛ Of course I’m with you. I was with you before we were even born. ❜

❛ We’ve been through the darkness. We’ve come out, united. ❜

i could do this all day!

i’m too pretty to die!

and everything was perfectly serene until they disturbed the ancient altar.

just once, we should enter a cave and see normal-sized spiders.

is it me, or did the temperature plunge as we stepped inside?

kind of makes you want to retch, yes?

we’re going to get lost and starve to death, aren’t we.

where do you suppose those riddles lead?

i’m not made for the wilderness. i’m more taverns and big cities.

this place gives me a headache.

well… try not to touch it or anythng.

at least the walk back will be easier than the walk up.

that’s… depressing. i’m not sure why.

well, this is cheery.

what do they call this? a bog? lovely word.

i read somewhere you can sink into sand. just… whoop! down you go.

doesn’t seem to have harmed you.

does that noise ever stop?

thank you. that makes so much more sense now.

and here’s where the magic happens.

can we get away from the water? i’m feeling seasick already.

you can’t be serious.

they’re not harmful… i don’t think.

something doesn’t feel right.

if i had something to say, i’d say it.

i’d expect no less from a brutish thug.

when did i do that?

my reasons for being here are the same as yours, thank you.

you must be joking.

people who say that to me are usually wrong.

i didn’t like that life.

ah. that clearly worked out well.

it was fun to goad you. you get this little knot between your eyebrows.

i knew you’d come around.

i always smile. people like my smile.

i’m imagining what you would look like… in a dress.

how do you want to be remembered?

i’m curious about you.

i’m going to regret this, aren’t i?

sometimes… sometimes love isn’t enough.

never mind. forget i said anything.

watch where you’re pointing that thing!

i have no idea what you’re talking about.

discretion isn’t your thing, is it?

now we can live together in peace and harmony.

drinks and insults later?

i realize there’s more to you than that.

what’s this whole look of yours about?

for what it’s worth, i’m sorry.

you’re a special and unique snowflake. live the dream.
