send one for my muse's reaction!

“Stay with me, [name]. Hey! Hey, I’m talking to you.”
“Don’t worry about him. He’s fine. Just concentrate on staying alive.”
“Hey, hey. Stay awake! Stay awake! Open your eyes!“
“He wasn’t dumb and you’re not that pretty.“
“Offer me one more thing and I’ll put your head through the wall.”
“I don’t wanna hurt you.“
“Do not be afraid of the monsters, [name]. Make them… afraid of you.“
“First-name basis. Bad sign.“
“She’s not gonna die. I won’t let it happen. Not this time, not ever again.“
“This is what you do, love. Stride across the centuries, and death follows, churning in your wake.”
“Love isn’t finite. Maybe life shouldn’t be either. Maybe we should keep living, forever.“
“Well, this certainly inspires confidence.”
“You think you’ve seen blood? Wait until you see your own.”
“What is this, a holiday and somebody forgot to tell me? Get back to work!”
“You wanna keep that hand? Don’t touch me again. Ever.”
“You may work for them, but you’re not one of them.”
“Don’t talk to me like that in front of my people.”
“One of us is a powerless puppet being used by forces that can’t quite be comprehended. And the other one is me.“
“What the fuck have you people been smoking down here?”
“Don’t think, you hear me? No more thinking. That’s a fucking order.”
“Loyalty. I understand it. I respect it. I have family myself and I would protect them at any cost.”
“I need [name] to remain alive. The reasons behind that are none of your business or your concern. All that matters is that you understand that you are not to touch him.”
“I know exactly who you are and who you murdered.”
“What? You think I killed my dad?“
“You even know how to use that thing?“
“No! Look, shoot me, okay? I’ll do whatever you want. Just leave him alone.”
“Forgive me, I thought you’d want to see the… your… the asset right away.“
“I don’t want to intrude.“
“I should wait outside.“
“So it’s true, huh? Thought you could impersonate me? You could replace me? Make me just… disappear forever?“
“How could you believe that I would shoot you?”
“All that I have ever wanted was to prove myself to you.”
“I don’t want you dead, [name]. I want your respect.”
“Thank you for the update. Very good work. I look forward to the next one.“
“Still want to be one of them?”
“I take orders from no one. I serve only as the right hand in a holy cause.”
“You make it sound like you’re a priest.”
“If we do not know our role in this world, why are we in it?”
“I cannot speak for you, my friend, but I am here to kick great amounts of ass.”
“I make my own way. I’m not a tool for someone else to use.”
“Tell me, are you a believer?“
“This looks pretty good. Like, “Hallelujah, it’s a fucking miracle” level good.”
“Okay, I already know what, but before you put my head through a wall, just hear me out.”
“You might wanna take it slow there.“
“No. No, no, no, no, no, no. You said he was all right. You told me he was fine. You told me not to worry. You said he was fine.”
“You were dying and there wasn’t anything you could have done.”
“What the fuck? What the fuck? I’m unconscious for ten fucking minutes and you start replacing my body parts?”
“You’re asking for forgiveness. Which makes me wonder for what.“
“You son of a bitch, let’s take this outside.”
“I hate it when you’re smug.“
“What’s so urgent that it couldn’t wait?”
