Graveyards aren’t quiet–they’re loud, sometimes it’s overwhelming. But if you stop and listen, the dead can tell one hell of a story.
Great! I’m running around Manhattan with a severed lich hand, how did this become my life?
The dead have been making a whole lot of demands lately.
This should make my mentor happy.
Completing some eldritch ritual beats finishing my paper of Wuthering Heights.
Of course I’ll help.
Yeah, like I’d miss my chance to summon a god.
Well, today’s about to get a whole lot more interesting.
You think I would miss out on the Maelstrom? [scoffs] I can’t wait to get out there.
Well, my teachers are always asking me to apply myself, so I might as well do this.

Can’t help with the ritual, I gotta find the body of some old crone’s lover that's buried in Woodlawn.
Lich errands. You know how it is.
I got physics homework to work on.
Can’t, my parents are dragging me to some lame party for their law firm.
Yeah... no.
Helping liches are one thing, but I draw the line at unknowable forces of nature.
I already got through P.E. once, I am not running up and down the streets of Manhattan nonstop.
Got work to do at Trinity Church. Sorry.
Wish I could help, but phylacteries don’t just show up on their own.
I think there’s safer ways to help my mentor.

Conversations

Hero Complete? Audio
  Abrams No Graves: Cool book.

Abrams:

Graves: Right. Cool book.

Abrams:

Graves: "Nervous" is something I get before finals, this is a little different.

Abrams:

Graves: "Terrified" is probably too strong.

Abrams:

Graves: It's a lot to process.

Abrams:

Graves: You kidding me? These guys are trying to kill us, I'm gonna take all the protection I can get.

Abrams:

Graves: I'll try not to be offended.

  Apollo Yes

Graves: You gonna go make daddy proud?

Apollo: My father's already proud of me. I don't need to pull stunts so he knows I exist.

Graves: Don't talk to me like you know me.

Apollo: How about you give me the same respect?!

Apollo: You weren't in class yesterday.

Graves: You noticed?

Apollo: I notice everything. Were you sick?

Graves: Do you care?

Apollo: Of course I care! It's hard for you fight if you have a high fever or food poisoning or whatever.

Graves: I was skipping class, I'm fine.

Apollo: "Oh, I'm fine! Just undisciplined and negligent!"

Graves: You're such a prick.

Graves: Your dad's a warlord, right?

Apollo: Kind of, yeah.

Graves: How is someone "kind of" a warlord?

Apollo: It's a cultural thing. You don't have a word in English for someone who wields the power of a governor and a general the way we do in Ixia.

Graves: I mean we do. It's warlord.

Apollo: [Sigh] I don't expect you to understand.

  Bebop No Bebop:

Graves: No. Do yours?

Bebop:

Graves: Can you get off my back, you little robo-hypocrite?

Graves: Who made you?

Bebop:

Graves: You like her?

Bebop:

Graves: Eh, they're alright.

Graves: Look, the dead aren't very bright, okay? If any of them get in the way, I'm sorry.

Bebop:

  Billy No Billy:

Graves: Way to go, Billy, you've got me all figured out. Truly, you are the master of the human condition.

  Calico No Graves: You look familiar.

Calico:

Graves: No, I've seen you before--not on the news.

Calico:

Graves: Nonono, they're alive. [pause] I know; you were at their Christmas party last year.

Calico:

Graves: It was at "Whiteside & Graves".

Calico:

Calico:

Graves: Yeah, you gonna give me a lecture on how it's a bad idea to carry it?

Calico:

Graves: I like your ugly cat.

Calico:

Graves: Look--I mean, I think she's great, but... objectively she's ugly as sin.

Calico:

  Celeste Yes

Graves: You're not really a unicorn.

Celeste: What makes you say that?

Graves: I'm not 12.

Celeste: By what, 6 months?

Graves: Shut up.

Celeste: Ever thought about leaving home for the circus?

Graves: My parents have penthouse in midtown, what do you think?

Celeste: Proably not.

Graves: Got it in one.

Graves: Your jacket would be cooler without the fringe.

Celeste: You'd be cooler without the attitude.

Graves: Don't see that changing anytime soon.

Celeste: The jacket's awesome.

Graves: Sure.

Celeste: It is.

  Dynamo No Graves: Please don't give me an inspiring teacher talk on my potential.

Dynamo:

Graves: Sounds good.

Dynamo:

Graves: It's not.

Dynamo:

Graves: This seemed a little more important.

Dynamo:

Dynamo:

Graves: I... kinda just want to focus on necromancy right now.

Dynamo:

Graves: Are you a friend of my parents?

Dynamo:

Graves: Ugh, for god's sake.

  Grey Talon No Grey Talon:

Graves: I'm not sure how useful that is during a fire fight.

Grey Talon:

Graves: Of course.

Grey Talon:

Grey Talon:

Graves: Do you have any idea how many people told me it's a bad idea?

Grey Talon:

Graves: Why does it matter?

Grey Talon:

Grey Talon:

Graves: You don't know her.

Grey Talon:

Graves: Oh, like you're some kind of expert.

Grey Talon:

Graves: Take a nap, grandpa.

  Haze Yes

Haze: I need you to speak with a curator after the ritual.

Graves: Why?

Haze: Are you really asking me that?

Graves: Everything's fine.

Haze: Then it shouldn't be a problem.

Haze: Have you started thinking about your future?

Graves: Right now I'm worried about living long enough to graduate.

Haze: The OSIC could use someone like you.

Graves: Not interested in being a sandman.

Haze: And I'm not interested in you being one. But we have multiple divisions…and I think you might like being a Medium.

Graves: That might not suck.

Haze: Think about it. You can give me a call later.

Graves: Surprised you're not trying to take the hand.

Haze: Curators care about things, Sandmen care about people. So until you become a threat to national security you're not my problem.

  Holliday Yes

Holliday: Is that a severed hand?

Graves: Yeah?

Holliday: I really need to get my tubes tied...

Holliday: When the ritual starts, go find a playground to brood in.

Graves: A condescending cop. Shocking.

Holliday: Snark isn't gonna keep you alive.

Graves: What, and you are?

Holliday: Against my better judgement.

Graves: You're quite the civil servant.

Holliday: You shouldn't be here. It's not safe.

Graves: I can take care of myself.

Holliday: Sooo, do they give you the pack of cloves when you become a theatre kid, or was that something you brought to the table all on your own?

Graves: I hope you get shot.

Holliday: I'm making conversation.

Graves: And I'm hoping you get shot.

  Infernus Yes

Graves: Is it true you once kicked Mina Ha out of your bar?

Infernus: She tried to use a fake.

Graves: Surprised she didn’t just bribe you.

Infernus: She tried... but ain't no amount of money worth risking Jezebel's getting shut down.

Graves: God I would have loved to see her face.

Infernus: Not gonna lie, it was satisfying.

Graves: Ya know there's rumors about you.

Infernus: That right?

Graves: Yeah. Supposedly you're with the mob.

Infernus: I'm just a bartender.

Graves: That's not what my classmates say.

Infernus: I don't know if I'd trust the Blackmore Academy rumor mill.

Graves: They play cards at Wraiths.

Infernus: Don't know if I'd trust what she has to say either.

Infernus: Hey Graves... I'm not gonna tell you how to live your life, cause lord knows you don't wanna hear it…

Graves: But...

Infernus: If you ever find yourself over your head... you can talk to me for help.

Graves: We close now?

Infernus: Look. When I was around your age I needed help, and someone gave it to me. It changed my life, and I just wanted you to know that... I'm willing to pay it forward.

Graves: Good talk.

  Lady Geist No Graves: Are you related to Johann Geist?

Lady Geist:

Graves: He was really talented. I wrote a paper about him in Humanities.

Lady Geist:

Graves: "Verloren in die Stille" (German: "Lost in the Silence") is amazing.

Lady Geist:

Graves: The jacket kinda gives it away.

Lady Geist:

Graves: You know your arm's... evil, right?

Lady Geist:

Graves: Like, he won't stop screaming about what he wants to do to people.

Lady Geist:

Graves: His name's Oathkeeper.

Lady Geist:

  Paige No Paige:

Graves: Thanks for the tip.

Paige:

Graves: I'm sure you are.

Paige:

Graves: Well, whoever that is, they're cooler than you.

  Rem Yes

Graves: Are you nervous?

Rem: A little.

Graves: Well stick with me, I'll take care of you.

Rem: Do dead people dream?

Graves: I think so.

Rem: Why can't I talk to them?

Graves: You gotta listen.

Rem: But, if I'm listening, I can't ask them questions like: what's your favorite color, and why does bread taste good, and do you think cats would smoke if they had thumbs?

Graves: Life's hard sometimes.

Rem: It is...

Rem: Do you like bowling?

Graves: What?

Rem: You look like someone who likes bowling.

Graves: It's kind of cool.

Rem: Yeah. It is.

  Seven Yes

Seven: Be careful, child.

Graves: What, or I'll end up like you?

Seven: Ha, please! Stay on the path you're on and you won't live long enough to end up like me.

Graves: Don't pretend like you care if I live or die.

Seven: I'm not invested in your survival, I just hate to see talent wasted.

Seven: Don't trust your mentor.

Graves: Why, cause she's a lich?

Seven: No, because mentors only teach what they want you to learn. They are craven and use the young to live glories they could not achieve on their own.

Graves: She's not like that.

Seven: Ohoho, of couse not. She "sees potential in you that she's never seen in ages". You're "special".

Graves: You don't know what you're talking about.

Seven: You're right. How silly of me.

Graves: I'm able to hold my own.

Seven: I never said you couldn't.

Graves: I know I'm young, but-

Seven: I don't care how old you are. If you're competent you'll survive, if you're not you'll die. Either way, you're not my concern.

  Silver Yes

Silver: Well, aren't you a creepy kid.

Graves: I'm not a kid.

Silver: You prefer... "angsty teenager"?

Graves: Are you always a bitch or is this something special just for me?

Silver: I'm pretty consistent.

Graves: I think I don't hate you.

Silver: I think I don't hate you too.

Graves: You like being a werewolf?

Silver: I don't know.

Graves: You don't know?

Silver: I've never not been one. Imagine if I asked you how you like being a human?

Graves: I'd say... that humans are generally awful with moments of surprising compassion and that we would all probably be better off if ninety percent of us were replaced by cats.

Graves: You seem cool.

Silver: I am cool.

Graves: You always want to be a bounty hunter?

Silver: Nah, I always wanted to not be homeless so I decided to do whatever paid the most.

Graves: Checks out.

  Venator Yes

Venator: You're in over your head, child.

Graves: I get that a lot.

Venator: Give me the lich hand.

Graves: Not happening.

Venator: You will regret your choice.

Graves: Believe me, father, I already regret meeting you.

Graves: What kind of priest carries a gun?

Venator: One that's about to go to war. What kind of child traffics with the dead?

Graves: One that- ugh, I don't do purple prose. I do. I traffic with the dead. If you have a problem with that you shouldn't be here.

Venator: No problem at all, lass.

Venator: The lich is using you.

Graves: You don't know her.

Venator: They're all the same.

Graves: Oh my god, someone religious is being closed minded, I wish I wore pearls so I could clutch them.

Venator: It's a real shame that you're not going to live long enough to learn the wisdom that comes with age.

Graves: Don’t threaten me.

Venator: Threaten ya? I'm trying to save your life.

Graves: Thanks for your concern. I can take things from here.

  Vyper No Vyper:

Graves: I have the day off. Shouldn't you be in jail?

Vyper:

Graves: You're full of shit.

Vyper:

Graves: Does it matter? 'cause I'm not giving it to you.

Vyper:

Graves: I'm not scared of you.

Vyper:

Graves: We're on the same team!

Vyper:

Vyper:

Graves: Yeah.

Vyper:

Graves: Please don't talk to me.

Vyper:

Graves: No.

  Wraith No Wraith:

Graves: How do you know that?

Wraith:

Graves: I speak for them.

Wraith:

Graves: It's not. The dead have people speaking to them all the time. Go to a cemetery on Father's Day and you can't throw a rock without hitting someone talking to a headstone.

Wraith:

Graves: You don't get it. It's not... sweet, for them. It's painful. They see loved ones... hurting and they want to offer comfort. Or... advice, or... anything. To be their voice? It's... it's an honor.

Wraith:

Graves: Oh... yeah, I can do that.

He thinks he's smarter than he is.
Nice try, Doorman.
  Drifter Kill Drifter won't be hunting us any time soon.
That guy gave me the creeps...

I'm not gonna be one of your victims, Drifter.
Go whistle someplace else, loser.

I bet he's a better teacher than he is a fighter.

You can't hide from the dead.
You're not as smart as you think, Haze.
  Holliday Kill I took out the sheriff!
I'm not going to jail!
Oh God, the law's after me, that's great...

Holliday's outta the picture.

Stop Holliday!

You picked on the wrong girl!
That felt real good.
  McGinnis Kill Sellout.
Took out the Fairfax stooge!
Don't worry, McGinnis. The Fairfax war machine will roll on just fine without you.

The old ways are the strong ways, McGinnis.

How can she be so naive?
Paige isn't a problem.
I stopped their support.
You can't stop me, Paige.

Probably not welcome at the next pop-up museum, am I?
You're not bad, Paradox... but not bad's not enough.
A shame we couldn't work things out, Paradox...
I really want to like her, but she's making it hard!
Killed post-swap Nice try, Paradox.
That's the only trick you got, Paradox?
Takes more than that, Paradox.

Sorry Rem.
He looked so cozy too...
I'm gonna feel bad about that for a while...

Take cover!
Get inside!

At least I stopped his pain...
The dead can be so pushy sometimes.
  Vindicta Kill I'm sorry about what happened to you, Vindicta...
I wish you'd let me help you, Vindicta.
