send one for my muse's reaction!

“When everyone lies, telling the truth isn’t just rebellion. It’s an act of revolution. So think carefully when you speak it, because the truth is a weapon.”
“The reason why he has no answers is because what you are talking about is not real. There’s no conspiracy.“
“Ever wonder why he was here? Why he knew my real name?”
“I want to go in and see her.“
“I don’t have time for this.“
“I told you before, we’re not friends. I don’t owe you a goddamn thing.”
“I’m chasing down my fucking leads to get what I need. Which, in case anyone is interested, is my freedom.”
“Did I fucking stutter?”
“Don’t talk to me again unless you have something useful to say, okay?”
“The guards’ll be fine. Well, except for the broken jaw and shattered leg.”
“Yeah, well, I’m gonna have to ask you to leave.”
“I could get you a car if you’d like. Or you could stay a while. With me.“
“Your freedom, that thing you want so much, he’ll make sure you never see it. You have no idea what he’s capable of.”
“You’re terrified.“
“I don’t believe in punishment. I believe in reward.“
“Mmm. Uncountable, my sins.“
“You can have all of me, for as long as you’d like. And when you’re finished, your freedom.”
“I’m not here to save you, [name].”
“I believe I’m the one offering to do the saving. Think about it. But don’t take too long. We’re running out of time.”
“What could you possibly know about my age, [name]?”
“Great. You’re the best, [name]. You really are the best.”
“Mm-hmm. Mmm! Oh, my God, this is cold, God damn it!”
“I give them something to believe in.”
“It’s just another display of power.“
“It’s only stealing if you get caught.“
“Oh, I’m sorry. Is this a bad time?“
“Promise to treat her with decency and fairness.”
“So what’s my word worth to you?“
“Hurt her, and I kill you.“
“I’m not here to save anyone.“
“You know, it’s getting easier to imagine putting holes in you every time you open your mouth.“
“There. I’ve given you a free show, which is more than anyone else alive has ever gotten from me. Show’s over.“
“You know I can read lips, right?“
“You’re not me. You never will be.“
“How do I know you are who you are?“
“So how does it feel… to be a few hours away from freedom?“
“Finding truth is more than a search for data. It’s an excavation of self. You have to keep going, no matter where it takes you. Because nothing can stay hidden forever.“
“When I look into his eyes, I see you looking back at me, and… it’s been a long time since someone looked at me like that.”
“I’m sorry I’m not [name].”
“Just shut the fuck up.“
“How could you not fucking believe me?“
“[Name], where the hell are you?”
“Are you out of your mind?“
“I appreciate that you are no quitter. But there is a time for letting go.“
