Sirius: You know, for the longest time I actually believed that, that I am a monster. That I could never really be anything different than that. That I didn’t deserve anything more than what you had made me to be. But that’s what you wanted, isn’t it? Break them and they will never leave. That’s the way you work, isn’t it?

Valerian: What? You suddenly have something that you feel is better than anything I have to offer? Please, don’t make me laugh.

Sirius: The most important thing. I would do anything to make her happy.

Sirius: You know there is so much more to the world than losses and gains.

Valerian: When did you get so sentimental? If you don’t benefit from it then, why do it at all? Because you love her. Don’t be ridiculous. Love is a game for fools, a game that you’re inevitably going to lose. How long do you think it will be before she sees you for the monster you really are? 

Sirius: Monster…[weary chuckle]

Valerian: You’re foolish if you think that our deal still stands–

Sirius: This isn’t about the deal. I want to keep her as far away from you as I possibly can. 

Valerian: You of all people should know the consequences of making such a decision. Do you really think that you are immune to them?

Sirius: [laughing] You can skip your big, bad, boss talk, Valerian. 

Valerian: What do expect to gain from all of this nonsense anyway?
