PROMPTS FOR TALKING YOURSELF OUT OF SOMETHING
* assorted dialogue for talking your way out of danger, a bad date, basically anything that might cause a serious risk to your life, adjust as necessary
this isn't what it looks like.
you look like you've got this under control.
am i free to go?
and that's my cue to leave.
we can talk about this like adults.
you've got it all wrong.
sorry, there's a family emergency and i need to go.
something's come up. i can't stay.
you need to let me go.
so this was a set-up.
you head that way, and i'll go this way.
we could try this another time.
that's not at all what i said.
i never promised you anything.
why don't we all just take a deep breath and start over?
i really don't think this is going to work.
can you take a rain check?
this is not what you said would happen.
wait! i can explain everything if you just give me a second!
there's no need to be hostile!
how about we all calm down?
let's just take a second and regroup.
you told me you had this all under control.
yes, well... i may have lied.
so i didn't give you all the details. big whoop.
you're not going to hold that over me, are you?
i think we'd better run.
you can handle this by yourself.
maybe we should talk about this somewhere else.
there's no need to yell.
listen, you're really nice, but i don't think this is going to work.
why don't we try this another day?
i got all dressed up for nothing.
now that's something you don't see every day.
i'm giving you a chance to back down.
put the gun down and we'll talk.
sure, i've made mistakes. who hasn't?
you could have at least prepared me for this.
if you need me, i'll be over here.
i think i hear someone calling my name.
urgent phone call. have to take this.
that's about as much as i can take.
it might be better if i go.
am i interrupting something?
maybe i should go outside.
i'll just leave you to it.
that sounded a lot better in my head.
you call me if you need anything.
you know where i'll be.
i'm not sticking around to find out.
you've got this! i know you do!
i'll just get in the way if i stay.
i'm needed elsewhere.
i'm sure you can handle it.
