"We'll be leaving this wretched town soon; it's so boring here, darling."

"I can at least agree to that. I hope you can get an apartment with a better view."

"You're. . . different today. Don't tell me Stockholm Syndrome's already set in."

"Don't delude yourself, Zayn. I'm simply tired of the same scenery for six weeks. I feel weak sitting in the same spot."

"If I could trust you t-"

"If you get a longer chain, it wouldn't be a problem."

"Don't sass me. . . and quit rolling your eyes."

". . ."

"Darling-"

"I keep telling you not to call me that."

"And it's useless to continue doing so."

". . ."

". . ."

". . ."

"Anyway, I think we should leave Saturday."

"Can't it be sooner?"

"It's only Thursday."

"Really? I lost track ages ago because you won't let me watch the news anymore."

". . ."

"Don't roll your eyes at me."

". . . Fine, you can watch the news when we move out of town."

"But they won't be reporting about you - just a killer."

"Oh no, I'm not changing my habits - I'll still leave my mark."

"That's dumb; that's how you get caught."

"Darling, I really do think you've got the syndrome. You're trying to help me."

"Don't patronize me. You and I both know you're just getting cocky. I'm waiting for that mistake."

"Ha, don't kid yourself. It's only temporary - I have a plan."

"Oh joy. . ."

"You'll see, darling. You'll see."
