## Pathologic (2005)

### General

* I am so tired, I shall faint now.
* I feel sick, everything went dark before my eyes.
* How cold.
* The hands are tired, and I have stitch in my palms.
* Yes?
* What?
* It is strange that you are still alive.
* Has something changed about you? Or it seems to me?
* Are you really healthy? Fine.
* How acute you were, you cannot comprehend all evil that you do.
* It is not necessary to sacrifice neither the Tower nor the Town. It is possible to keep everything.
* People are ready to sacrifice themselves so that the Town continued to exist. Help me to get into the Cathedral, I shall prove it.

### Day 3

* **(Bachelor)** You see? I do not hinder your work. Everyone goes their own way.
* **(Bachelor)** Why do you look at me so? I do not bite.

### Day 5

* **(Bachelor)** All of them still wait for a train with tanks of panacea. Gawks! They think the train will arrive and everything will be fine! No.
* **(Bachelor)** It is interesting what was found inside this big well.

### Day 6

* **(Haruspicus)** Will nobody believe? Will nobody help?
* **(Bachelor)** It's not me, swear. All against me, but I am not guilty!
* **(Both)** My patrons have renounced me, they expel me from their house, but they will pay for it.

### Day 8

* **(Haruspicus)** Everyone says impossible, impossible, impossible, but what if it will turn out?
* **(Haruspicus)** Dankovsky thinks that the illness has appeared from the wells. He is wrong.

### Day 9

* **(Haruspicus)** Everywhere, investigators, everywhere the gunmen. They do not hurt the people, yet but what will be further?
* **(Haruspicus)** But I like this brave General. He promised to protect me. No, I shall manage to convince him that I am right.

### Day 11

* **(Bachelor)** False Georgiy, this is not Georgiy. For two days an absolutely another person lives in his body.
* **(Haruspicus)** The doomed have agreed to assist me. They will first take the way of the patriarch.
* **(Both)** I shall manage to find an application of each person living here. I shall make the most important miracle.

## Pathologic Classic

### General

* I'm so tired I might faint.
* I'm sick. The world is going dark.
* It's so cold.
* My hands are tired and my palms are tingling.
* Yes?
* What?
* I'm surprised you're still alive.
* You've changed, or am I imagining things?
* Are you sure you're in good health? I'm glad.
* What is there to talk about now?
* However astute, you are unable to fathom the extent of the evil you're doing.
* Neither the Town nor the Tower have to be sacrificed. Everything can be saved.
* People are willing to sacrifice themselves so that the Town survives. Help me get to the Cathedral. I'll show you.

### Day 3

* **(Bachelor)** See? I'm not trying to interfere with your work. Each of us has their own way.
* **(Bachelor)** Why are you giving me that look? I don't bite.

### Day 5

* **(Bachelor)** Everybody's waiting for a train carrying tankfuls of panacea. Those fools. They think a train can fix all this. Right.
* **(Bachelor)** I wonder what they found in that huge well.

### Day 6

* **(Bachelor)** It's not me, I swear. I'm all alone against the world, but it's not my fault.
* **(Haruspex)** Won't anyone believe me? Won't anyone help?
* **(Both)** My patrons have abandoned me. I'm expelled from their very house. They'll pay for it.

### Day 8

* **(Haruspex)** Impossible, impossible, impossible they say. But what if it can be done?
* **(Haruspex)** Dankovsky believes the disease came from the wells. He's wrong.

### Day 9

* **(Haruspex)** Arsonists everywhere, riflemen all around... they haven't touched the common folk yet, but, what's next?
* **(Haruspex)** I'm still enamored of this valiant Commander. He told me he was going to protect me. Yes... I will win him over to my cause.

### Day 11

* **(Bachelor)** This false Georgiy is no Georgiy at all. Another person has been living in his body for two days now.
* **(Haruspex)** The devoted have agreed to help me. They'll be the first to follow the Town's fathers’ lead.
* **(Both)** I'll find a use for every single person here! I'll perform the essential miracle.

## Pathologic 2

### General

* Shall I sing a song for you?
* *(sings to herself)*
* People… don't like people much. But hating others… that's a challenge to them, too.
* Words are neither priceless nor worthless—they are only their purpose.
* Look at my hands. Ignore the dirt. Just focus your gaze…
* I won't touch you, so don't touch me.
* Is a hand a hand? Or is it just the fingers? Or the prints themselves?
* It wasn't me. Don't glare at me like that.
* Life blooms only while love breathes. Love is vital—how can I make you see?
* There is a god.
* You know… all saints and magi alike… they only speak of love. Love and patience are our most precious gifts.
* You know I'm not angry with you? Not at all.
* Bitch… what a beautiful word. Bitch. I'm talking about my sister.
* Will no one believe me? Will no one reach out to me…?
* White birds are killed, yet black cats are beloved.
* My heart aches like it's been pierced with a blunt needle.
* I pity you, human. You're so good, but there’s so little of you left.
* Whichever finger bleeds, the whole hand aches.
* Our quarrels are ended, our friendship is mended, and if I should lie, of pox should I die.
* The sweet tabby I chose had no fur and no nose; on eight paws he would linger, on his tail was a stinger…
* Rough as dutch, safe to touch. Smooth as bone, leave it alone.
* See? I'm not holding you back. Let each of us find our own path.
* Why are you looking at me like that? I don't bite.
* It wasn't me, I swear! Everyone's against me, but I'm guiltless…
* I had a sister once. I recall a girl as little as me when I was little myself.
* I'm going to faint… I need water, please! Water!
* Ugh. It's so cold, isn't it? Like, cold-cold.
* Who are you?
* Huh?
* Weird that you're still alive…
* You've changed, haven't you? Or am I seeing things?
* *(snickering)* No, no, don't mind me. You're just funny, that's all.
* *(laughter)*
* Shh… stop squirming. Everything's all right now.
* Close your eyes. Let me kiss them.
* God sees us from beneath the earth. Why do you think he's in Heaven? He's down below.
* You've never seen a living human in your life.
* There's more of me to love… like two or three of me.
* The left hand doesn't know what the right's up to. And the right doesn't know the left's secrets.
* There’s a lot of me… not so much of you.
* You think you're cool-headed, but you're just cooling.
* Warm hands, cold heart, huh? The saying goes the other way.
* Light feet and heavy heart, huh? It should be the other way around.

### Day 4-9

* They're all expecting a train carrying medicine and doctors! Fools! They honestly think a train can fix this. Like hell it'll come!

### Day 6-11

* My patrons have spurned me. Turned me out of their house. But they'll pay for it…

### Pantomimes

#### Night 2

* I can work miracles. I just lay hands on a person, and they… you know, if they had cancer, or a tumor, or something in the blood… I'm not very good with terms. But God loves me.

#### Night 5

* I fell in love for the first time when I was six. A kind boy with freckles. And you know, these days I… his name was Matvey.
* Ah… it's… well… all right, then. Most people love me.

### Dream Sequence

* Well, of course it's about the skin. The skin is a connection—it's what you use to touch the world, isn't it? Your border.
* But touch is transformative. You can only change someone through touch. They'll undergo a metamorphosis, and not even notice.
* No, I don't deceive people. But I touch things, leaving behind tiny pieces of myself. Then I watch… watch them change.
* No, it won't. I can perform miracles! Just let me! Let me go! Stop playing against me, both of you!
* Yes! This is exactly my point! They're all numbers to you. But what you think of as zeroes and ones are actual people! They've already been touched by someone's will, they've been reanimated!
* So we separate. As usual. How many days do we have? Eleven?\*

## Notes

* In the line "So we separate. As usual. How many days do we have? Eleven?" during the Dream Sequence of *Pathologic 2* there is an error in the subtitles which leads the line to read "So we separate. As usual. How many days do *you* have? Eleven?" despite the voiced line reading the former.
