The Trick Quotes

“As if I don’t harbor an immense amount of hatred for him already, he now has the nerve to touch my stereo? Which was just playing the song that helps me get in the zone before I commit murder? The fucking audacity.”

“No, because it is us. Everything we are and everything we pretend to be. It’s bloody. Messy. Impossible to contain. Loving you is war. But it’s the only battle that I’d come out a winner even if I lost. Because loving you, even if it ends in blood, is more than I deserve and everything I could have ever wanted. When everyone sees a monster, you see an equal. I know I’m broken. Fuck, I’m shattered, but with you, all my fucked up pieces feel whole, because they’re whole enough for you and that’s all I fucking need. So yeah, loving you is a blood sport and that’s something I’m fucking honored to experience with you.”

“I’ll play whatever games your heart desires. Build you a nightmare you can’t escape from and follow you like the incubus you crave. I’ll be your cover if you will be my curse. Now pick your favorite number?” My mouth falls open in confusion. “Number?” “Yes,” he motions his hand for me to hurry up. “Choose a number, Blair, we don’t have all night. There’s a body to hide.”  “Fine. How about fifteen?” “Eh, of course it’s fifteen,” he mumbles something else under his breath, clearly, he’s not a fan of the number. I’m about to change the number when he begins to speak again at a more audible volume. “It's a little higher than I wanted, but fifteen it is” he shrugs. “What do you mean?” I ask, my mind racing with what a fucking number has to do in a time like this.  He clears his throat, looking both haunting and comforting all in the same breath. “In fifteen years, if neither of us has killed the other, I will take what is mine.”

“Fingers crossed that I cross paths with the psycho killer that’s decapitating their unsuspecting victims one by one.  Double fingers crossed he’s hot and masked.”
