AMERICAN GODS SENTENCE STARTERS
episode four - git gone
- ❝ d’ya mind ? ❞
- ❝ best drinks have self defining names. you order a manhattan, god knows what you’re gonna get, but you order a gin and tonic, a jack and coke, it’s not just a name. it’s a command. ❞
- ❝ how long you’ve been working here for ? ❞
- ❝ ooh, that’s bad luck. ❞
- ❝ don’t do it. ❞
- ❝ i was waiting for you. ❞
- ❝ why’d you help me ? ❞
- ❝ you’re really not very good at this; i saw you coming a mile off. ❞
- ❝ are you trying to recruit me ? ❞
- ❝ you could be a world class thief. ❞
- ❝ you look like you could get anything you want just by asking for it. ❞
- ❝ what d’ya say, huh ? ❞
- ❝ hang on a minute. i’m sorry. ❞
- ❝ i owe you one. i feel beholden. ❞
- ❝ let me buy you a drink. ❞
- ❝ let’s go somewhere. ❞
- ❝ so you are a thief. ❞
- ❝ the weak spot, see ––– all you need is one. and it’s usually people’s attention. ❞
- ❝ show me. ❞
- ❝ oh, god. ten years, and [ … ] has NEVER looked at me like that. ❞
- ❝ there’s a lesson in there somewhere. ❞
- ❝ my grandma always had cats. she said that they could see ghosts when we can’t, and warn you of thieves. ❞
- ❝ do you ever worry about what will happen if you keep stealing ? ❞
- ❝ do you believe in the afterlife ? ❞
- ❝ all i know is there’s more than i know. ❞
- ❝ yeah, i think that might sound wiser than it is. ❞
- ❝ when you die, you rot. it’s a fixed system. physics doesn’t take sundays off. ❞
- ❝ my parents believed in everything. father, son, holy ghost, spirit filled and full of the light of god. they taught me all of it, chapter and verse. ❞
- ❝ i went to bed every night in a world full of magic where anything was possible. ❞
- ❝ it’s like everything that made the world anything more than what it is is just –– stories. like snake oil. but worse, because snakes are real. ❞
- ❝ i wanted to get that magic back so bad, but one day i just accepted the fact that i couldn’t, because life is just not that interesting. ❞
- ❝ don’t look at me like that. ❞
- ❝ the fun is just getting started. ❞
- ❝ i could teach you to fight. ❞
- ❝ hey, you want coffee ? ❞
- ❝ are we pregnant ? ❞
- ❝ what i’m about to say may sound irrational to you, but i have all sorts of rational reasons for saying it, and doing it. ❞
- ❝ say it, and we’ll talk about whether or not you should do it. ❞
- ❝ are we … discussing this, or are you telling ? ❞
- ❝ there’s some wiggle room. ❞
- ❝ are you unhappy ? because i’m happy, okay, you make me happy. ❞
- ❝ yes, i see that you’re happy. from this side of it. the wrong side of it. and i think maybe i resent not being happy. not resent you, just … resent. ❞
- ❝ do you still love me ? ❞
- ❝ we are like a history book. we’re established fact. we don’t change. ❞
- ❝ i represent FAILURE to you ? ❞
- ❝ i can take it. if you’re on the other side. i can make it if you can. can you wait for me ? ❞
- ❝ just glad that i could be here to help you, you know ? ❞
- ❝ hey, don’t stay here alone tonight. ❞
- ❝ why did you say that ? ❞
- ❝ come on, [ … ] , say what you mean. ❞
- ❝ last night was a one time thing. you were there. and thank you, but we’re not doing this. we did this. and now it’s done. ❞
- ❝ you don’t love him. not the way he loves you. ❞
- ❝ is that all this was ? just fun ? ❞
- ❝ are you saying no ? ❞
- ❝ i lived my life, good and bad. definitely not light as a feather. ❞
- ❝ in life, you believed in nothing, so you will go to nothing. you will be done. ❞
- ❝ there is nowhere else for you to be. ❞
- ❝ tears have fallen for you. ❞
- ❝ do i get a say in this ? ❞
- ❝ death is not a debate. ❞
- ❝ how many do you think have come before you, all with promises and threads and offers of gold, glory, love ? who are you to misguide me from my duty ? ❞
- ❝ you are but a man, not even one i should remember. ❞
- ❝ i’m gonna come in now. i’m gonna come in now, okay ? ❞
- ❝ is this a haunting ? are you haunting me ? ❞
- ❝ does [ … ] know ? ❞
- ❝ i’m a vulgar woman. anger and grief have just really made me vulgar. ❞
- ❝ god, you know, i should thank you. it’s so much easier grieving someone when you’re glad they’re dead. ❞
- ❝ oh, fuck your feelings. ❞
- ❝ everybody has feelings, everybody cares about what they feel. i don’t care about what you feel. i care about what you think. what do you think about what you did ? ❞
- ❝ what was your big lie, [ … ] ? ❞
- ❝ i love [ … ] … loved [ … ]. love [ … ]. i love [ … ]. (s)he’s the light of my life. ❞
- ❝ you, i remember. ❞
- ❝ there is nothing i can do to lighten your heavy heart. ❞
- ❝ your heavy heart sank you like a stone, right back where you last left off. ❞
- ❝ was it love ? ❞
- ❝ love will always have you at a disadvantage. ❞
- ❝ many is the man who would take any version of his lost love rather than leave his love lost. ❞
- ❝ (s)he/they will say thank you to whichever god has sent you back to him/her/them. ❞
