## Dialogue

#### Opening Scene

> [Outside of the main house.]**Lily**Good morning, garden!
> Today I'm gonna save you by finding the Grand Temple!
> This is the day! I can FEEL it!
> But first things first.
> Collect my favorite doggy and wish Luke a safe journey!

#### Talk to Luke

> [Lily arrives at Luke's house.]**Lily**Hey, neighbor! Ready for--**Luke**Ugggh! Running late!! Gotta pick up Karen! Need to get pills for her air sickness!
> Traffic to the airport will be a nightmare! And I'm sure I'm forgetting SOMEthing...**Lily**Luke!**Luke**Huh?**Lily**Breathe! You're gonna be all right.**Luke**I know... I...I guess I'm just nervous about seeing Nicky...**Lily**Of course you are! But she's your sister, Luke. And she invited you to meet your nephew.
> Babies have a way of bringing people together. I'm sure once you hold the little one, everything's gonna be fine.**Luke**Thanks, Lily. You always know how to talk me down...
> But: I DO have to go, so... I'll see you in a couple of days! Byeeee!**Dog**Booooowoorf!**Lily**Yes, Roxy. He IS a little disorganized. But also a real sweetheart...

#### Go to Earth Garden

> [Lily and Roxy in the Earth Garden]**Lily**We better get going, Rox. We've got a temple to find!**Dog**Arf! Arf!**Lily**Okay...one more belly scratch! Good girl!![Mr. Lawrence arrives]**Lily**Hey, Mr. Lawrence! Guess the early bird...finds the Temple?**Mr. Lawrence**Of course, Miss Roberts. We've got to use every minute we have left.**Dog**Borfborfborf**Mr. Lawrence**Fudge nuggets! I have neither time nor patience to deal with you...canine!**Lily**Ahem. Come here, Roxy. Stay with me.
> Mr. Lawrence, let me show you what we discovered last night.**Mr. Lawrence**My lapel pin?**Lily**No, sorry. But something equally exciting!**Mr. Lawrence**TERRA. You were right, Miss Roberts. The fourth element.**Lily**Yes! Isn't it great! We're so close now! I can feel it!**Mr. Lawrence**I don't know, what you're feeling, Miss Roberts...But I don't see the Grand Temple anywhere around here.**Lily**You said yourself, it might be underground! Maybe this is the EARTH garden for a reason?**Lily**Just wait and see what we'll find under all those weeds.

#### Clear Weeds

> **Lily**Come on, weeds. Please be covering a trap door to the Temple...**Dog**Borf!**Lily**Roxy, I need to do some work. I can't pet you now.
> Huh?
> Uhm... Is this...a chess board?**Mr. Lawrence**It certainly looks like one.**Dog**Borf?**Lily**Not now, Rox. Go play...
> Maybe I need to clear more weeds around here. Yes. This might just be the wrong spot...
> Or maybe I need to take a closer look at that chess board. Maybe one of the tiles is a trap door!!**Mr. Lawrence**Whatever you do, PLEASE take that dog with you!

#### Clear More Weeds

> **Lily**All right, Rox. Haven't faced a weeding challenge like this in a while.**Dog**Arfarf!**Lily**Thanks for the encouragement! I KNOW we can do it!
> Weedfree and--
> Huh?
> A dice table? Starting to feel like I'm in Las Vegas or something...**Mr. Lawrence**Miss Roberts, you are wasting your time here.
> And so is your dog!**Lily**Hmm. Maybe the entrance to the Temple is not in this corner here...
> I'll have a look over there...

#### Clear Even More Weeds

> **Lily**Nature has truly reclaimed this place...
> Must have been forgotten for a long time...
> Let's uncover the secrets it holds!
> All cleaned up and--
> Huh? Was Giovanni LaRosa a gambler or something?
> Maybe Giovanni and Maddalena used to entertain their fancy friends in this place.
> The Wynns and all the influential folks from the Order...
> Mr. Lawrence, is the Wynn family still part of the--**Mr. Lawrence**Oh, for the love of Pete!!
> Miss Roberts! You need to control your DOG!

#### Repair Chess Board

> **Lily**Hmm. Let's see...**Dog**Arf!**Lily**Great idea, girl! If I replace the tiles, I should find any hidden entrances...

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Checkmate!
> But no trap doors...nothing unusual at all...**Mr. Lawrence**Ooooh, Miss Roberts. Don't move.**Lily**Huh?**Mr. Lawrence**There's that magpie again! And it's up to no good.[Roxy whines]**Mr. Lawrence**Useless dog! Go and fight that winged messenger of doom!**Lily**Both of you: IT'S JUST A BIRD!!
> And it sure won't stop me from fixing the floor!

#### Repair Floor

> **Lily**Getting things ready for the kind and the queen and their entourage...

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Royally floorific!!
> Now all that's missing is the horsies and the little towers and--**Mr. Lawrence**You have never played chess, have you?**Lily**No? Wanna teach me?**Mr. Lawrence**Ahem. No. We have other things to--
> Aaargh! What the frog! Get off me!
> Shoo shoo!**Lily**Ooh. Looks like they have their nest up on that rock.
> Maybe they have chicks...and think we're a danger to their babies!**Mr. Lawrence**The next generation of evil ready to spread their wings?
> What have I gotten myself into...[Regina arrives with Philip and Kintarō.]**Regina**Hey, guys! I brought some company.**Lily**Philip! Lovely to see you!**Philip Jones**Ah, I had almost forgotten about the games garden!
> Oh, the fun we used to have around here!**Lily**Let me set up a bench for you. And maybe then you can share some of those memories...

#### Repair Benches

> **Lily**Regina, Kintarō, maybe you can fix the bench over there? And I take this one here.**Kintarō**My pleasure, Lily!

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Benchtastic!
> Take a seat, Philip. And tell us more about this...games garden.**Philip Jones**Ooohoho, Lily. Your Uncle Arthur and I spent a lot of time here when we were young.
> Playing chess...and dominoes...
> Or finding some solitude with a...guest.**Regina**Grandpa! Is this where you used to bring your girlfriends?**Philip Jones**Uhm... Who is your friend, Lily?**Lily**Oh, right. Philip, this is Mr. Lawrence, a representative of the Order of the Ascending Eye.
> Mr. Lawrence, this is my lawyer...and friend, Philip Jones.**Mr. Lawrence**Pleasure, Mr. Jones. So you know more about this place?**Philip Jones**I do?**Lily**Let's spruce the garden up a little. Maybe that'll bring back your memories...

#### Place Chess Pieces

> **Philip Jones**Where are the chess pieces, Lily? It'll be hard to play without them...**Lily**Sorry, Philip. I don't think we'll get around to playing today.
> But you're right. The board looks sad without pieces. Lemme see what I can do...

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Chesstastic!**Mr. Lawrence**Mr. Jones, since you're Miss Roberts' lawyer, and my organization might get involved in her legal predicament--**Philip Jones**How does he know about the trial?**Lily**Uhm...I contacted his order about it.**Mr. Lawrence**And the Order has the means to find out everything else we needed to know.**Lily**See, Philip? They are influential people! I'm sure they can help!**Philip Jones**I'm glad you're making new friends, Lily.
> Now, how about we play some dice?

#### Repair Dice Table

> **Philip Jones**Ahh, dice. The game of the lucky fella.**Lily**Let me set up that for you, Philip. Maybe then you can show us how it's done.

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Pretty dicey!**Philip Jones**Not dicey until I start rolling doubles--**Mr. Lawrence**Before we start on a gambling spree...Mr. Jones, enlighten me. What is the state of the trial?**Philip Jones**I think we stand a fair chance to win this one, young man. We can still turn the tables in our favor.**Mr. Lawrence**Really? To me it looks like the outcome is pretty clear. Alea iacta est.**Lily**Beg your pardon?**Mr. Lawrence**The die has been cast. The dice has been tossed. The--**Philip Jones**I don't see ANY dice being tossed around here!
> Let's get a little game going, shall we?

#### Make Flowerbeds 1/2

> **Lily**So...whatcha think would help you remember, Philp?**Philip Jones**Ah, Lily. Flowers are always a good start.

*Player selects an option*

> **Philip Jones**Beautiful! Just like back in the day...**Regina**Grandpa, I'd REALLY like to know more about those ladyfriends you mentioned...**Philip Jones**Uhm... Did I tell you... Arthur was an EXCELLENT chess player. He beat me every time.**Mr. Lawrence**Enough with the chitchat? Do you remember a hidden door? What about the Grand Temple? We're losing time!!**Philip Jones**What is he going on about?**Kintarō**I told you all about it in the car...remember?
> The Order promised to help Lily against Leonard if she finds their Temple?**Philip Jones**Oh, right... And did she find it?**Kintarō**Not yet, Philip...**Lily**But maybe some more planting will help us find clues...or bring something back to your mind, Philip...

#### Make Flowerbeds 2/2

> **Lily**I'm thinking blossoms and maybe some thematic decorations...

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Voila! What do you think, Philip?**Philip Jones**Gorgeous, Lily. I used to love a game of dice.
> I was good at it too. You know what they say: Lucky at dice...**Regina**But you were lucky in love as well, Grandpa!**Philip Jones**Later in life, yes. Not back then. Not when I was gambling down here with Arthur...**Mr. Lawrence**People! Focus! We're on a mission here! Why is he so upset?**Kintarō**The Temple, Philip. Remember?**Philip Jones**Ah. yes. So, where is that silly Temple then?[Whitney arrives at the Games Garden.]**Whitney**Hey, y'all!**Lily**Whit. I was wondering where you were...**Whitney**Yeah...Lily, can we talk?
> In private?**Lily**Sure?

#### You did WHAT, Whit??

> **Lily**Where are we going?**Whitney**Where Mr. Lawrence can't hear us!
> Lily, I have something to confess.
> Ahem. I... I wrote another letter to the Order and posted it in the dead drop yesterday.**Lily**Okay... Why didn't you talk to me first?**Whitney**There was no time. And I just HAD to ask them for Lawrence's credentials.
> Uhm...and to make it believable, I kinda signed the letter in your name...**Lily**You WHAT??**Whitney**I know. Regina. Regina told me it was wrong. But you seemed okay with me looking into him...**Lily**Yeah...when it was just about his license plate! But faking my signature??
> Ugh! You and your suspicions have caused enough damage.
> From now on, leave Mr. Lawrence alone![Lily storms off and runs into Mr. Lawrence.]**Lily**Aaargh!**Mr.Lawrence**Miss Roberts...you seem a little unfocused today... What is going on?**Lily**Uhm...nothing... I was just about to go back and...uhm...uh...trim some hedges!!

#### Change Hedges Chess Garden

> **Lily**UGH! What's left to do around here?
> Great!**Regina**Uhm, you all right there, Lils?**Lily**I'm PEACHY! Hand me the shears!

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Trim-flippin'-tastic!!**Regina**Shhh! Lils, you'll wake Grandpa!
> Come on over there! And take it down a notch.**Lily**How could Whitney write a letter in my name without telling me??**Regina**I understand you're upset. But she's only looking out for you.**Lily**But why sneak around behind my back? I thought we were friends?**Regina**She IS your friend! That's why she's going above and beyond tryin' to help you.**Lily**Forging my signature?? I don't call that friendship!

#### Change Hedges Dice Garden

> **Lily**UGH! Trimming hedges...
> You know how many hedges I've trimmed around this place?!**Regina**I can give you a hand, Lils...**Lily**There's only one pair of sheers. I'll do it. Like I do EVERYTHING around here!

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Hedge-freakin'-licious!!**Regina**You gotta calm down, lady.**Lily**Calm down? Whitney betrayed me and she didn't even seem sorry!**Regina**That's not entirely her fault. She's sometimes not very good at understanding and showing emotions.
> Doesn't mean she doesn't HAVE them.**Lily**Ugh. I have A LOT of emotions right now!**Regina**I know, Lils. And that's okay.
> So...did Whitney leave after your talk?**Lily**Don't think so.
> She might still be at the maze. Thinking 'bout what she's done.**Regina**All right. I'll see if I can find her.
> Seriously... You guys are worse than two 5-year-olds...

#### Where the heck is Whitney?

> **Regina**Whitney?
> Whitney!**Whitney**Over here!**Regina**There you are, girl!
> What happened between you and Lily??**Whitney**Uhm... Nothing...
> Whatcha think will happen when the clock strikes midnight...on a full moon...?
> What the heck, let's just see!![Whitney tinkers with the clock.][BONGGGGGG][Regina walks over to the stairs near the monument with Whitney following behind.]**Regina**WHOA!
> Whitney!! I think you found it! You found the Grand Temple!
> Ha! I knew it!
> I'll go get Lily and Mr.--**Whitney**Regina, wait!
> Let's check it out without them first!

#### What is this place?

> **Whitney**Come on, Regina! Let's go have a look!**Regina**But...it'll be dark down there. Shouldn't we get a flashlight first?**Whitney**Nah. There's enough light coming in from the entrance. Don't worry.[Regina and Whitney enter and the stairs close behind them.]**Kintarō**Was that the clock striking?? It's not even the full hour, let alone midnight...**Lily**Strange. Let's go check it out.**Kintarō**I'm sorry. I must have calibrated it wrong. The time is way off.
> I need to take another look at the clockwork. It might take a while.**Lily**Okay. I'll head back to the earth garden. Don't want Mr. Lawrence to get bored...[Roxy barks at a magpie.]**Lily**What's going on here??**Mr. Lawrence**Your heroic dog is taking on that horrid magpie!**Lily**Mr. Lawrence--are you cheering for Roxy?**Mr. Lawrence**Of course not. I would never--
> Look at her go! All right, little buddy!

#### Since I'm up here...

> [Roxy barks at the Magpie]**Lily**Roxy! Come on, girl! Leave the birdies alone!
> Rox? Come down NOW![Roxy barks at the Magpie]**Lily**Bad dog! Heel!
> Ugh. Guess I have to go up there and get her.
> There there. Calm down, girl.**Mr. Lawrence**Everything all right, Miss Roberts?
> Could you please come down and continue the day's work?**Lily**Uhm...yeah... Just one sec. Since I'm up here...
> And this place reminds me of my favorite childhood movie...**Mr. Lawrence**What are you doing, Miss Roberts? What is this nonsense?**Lily**Mr. Lawrence, I'll tell you what this is...
> It's the ciiircle of liiife!
> It's the wheel of fortuuune! It's the leap of--
> Roxy! I wasn't done!**Mr. Lawrence**The dog is definitely the sensible one around here...

#### What's that shiny treasure?

> **Mr. Lawrence**Good job, little magpie-fighter!**Dog**Arf!**Lily**Guess there's no point in standing up here by myself.[Magpie flies past Lily.]**Lily**Huh? What's that?
> Sorry, Mr. Magpie...but I need to have a look at the shiny treasure you're hiding...

> **Lily**You little thief...
> Mr. Lawrence! I found your lapel pin!!

> **Lily**Uhm...but why does it say "LaRosa" on the back...??
> He's got some explaining to do...
> Uhm...Mr. Lawrence? Why does your pin have my aunts family name engraved on the back?**Mr. Lawrence**It does?? Well...in that case, it's not my pin.
> You keep that one, Miss Roberts. And we should keep looking for mine.
> Don't you have more garden work where you could find things?

#### Plant Trees and Bushes

> **Lily**Nearly done with the earth garden, and no closer to finding the Temple.
> Guess I could check the surrounding area while I plant some trees and bushes.
> No worries, magpie friends. I'm not gonna touch your nest...again.

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Treelicious!
> See, Mr. Magpie, I kept my promise.
> And you were also very well-behaved. Thank you!
> Why can't you be this nice with Mr. Lawrence?
> Hmm. Maybe you don't trust him?
> Maybe I shouldn't trust him either...?
> Maybe Whitney has a point...
> Where IS Whitney? And why did Regina never come back??
> Hmm. I know, where they're NOT, and that's HERE.

#### Plant Wild Flowers

> **Lily**Guess I haven't really searched up on the rock... But why would there be an entrance up there??
> Hmm. Can't hurt to plant some wildflowers and keep my eyes open.

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Wildtastic!
> Like that, Mr. Magpie? Some blossoms in your front yard?
> As a peace offering for the pin I took from you?
> The pin...
> Is the one I found really NOT the one Mr. Lawrence lost?
> That would be a HUGE coincidence...
> But if this one is his... WHY would Mr. Lawrence have Giovanni LaRosa's pin??
> And WHY would he lie about it??
> Hmm. I'm sure there is some logical explanation...[Lily walks over to Philip.]**Lily**Ahem.
> Philip! Did you have a nice nap?**Philip Jones**Delightful, dear!
> Ah! And here comes our young friend!**Kintarō**Lily, I'm at a loss.

#### Talk to Kintarō

> **Lily**What is it, Kintarō?**Kintarō**I checked the clock. It works perfectly fine.
> I don't understand how it oculd be off like that.**Lily**Strange. I guess it'll stay a mystery.
> Did you see Regina or Whitney around the clocktower?**Kintarō**No.**Lily**That's odd... Maybe they went home?**Mr. Lawrence**Well, since none of this seems to be leading anywhere... I am leaving.
> I shall see you tomorrow, Miss Roberts.**Kintarō**I should be going too. And since Regina's gone--can I give you a ride home, Philip?**Philip Jones**Wonderful, Mr. Sasaki! Maybe you can stay for dinner? I make an excellent Cuban sandwich.**Kintarō**That sounds delicious. Thank you, Philip.
> Bye Lily!**Lily**Off they go. Whadddaya say, Rox--time to call it a day?**Dog**Borf!**Lily**Yeah... I know...weird day...And weird guy. What do YOU make of Mr. Lawrence?[Roxy pants]**Lily**If you like him, he can't be all that bad...

#### Start a New Day

> **Lily**Huh? Did you hear that?**Dog**Arf!**Lily**It DID sound like Whitney and Regina.
> Shhh. Just listen...
> Hmm. Must've been the wind... Where have they gone though??
> Ugh. Let's just go home, girl.[Later on the balcony.]**Lily**Where the hack ARE they??
> They don't call, they don't write, they don't answer my 47 phone calls...
> How am I supposed to sleep? HOW??
> I mean...was I too harsh on Whitney?
> Did Regina side with her? Did they run off together??
> Wherever they are, I hope they're okay...
