## Dialogue

#### Opening Scene

> [In front of the house]**Blaine**Gooood morning, bees
> Good morning, flowers!
> Good morning...wheelbarrow!
> What a beautiful morning. I should go get my easel...[Lily comes out the house]**Lily**Good morning, Blaine.[Lily walks toward Blaine]**Blaine**Lilybear! Good morning!
> I was just about to--**Lily**Let me stop you right there. I heard you and Larry last night.**Blaine**I--**Lily**Don't talk, please.
> I went to sleep angry last night. Angry at you for lying about why you were here...
> Angry at you for trying to manipulate me into ditching Regina...
> Angry at you for putting on this "changed man" act...
> But also really, really angry at myself for letting you do all that.**Blaine**Please, please listen. I wasn't lying!
> Yes, Larry told me about this guy who wants to buy the estate, yes, I came here hoping to get you to sell...
> But it wasn't just for me! What this guy's offering Larry, it's so much money, Lily!
> We could do anything, go anywhere we wanted.**Lily**I called you a cab. It'll be out front soon. Get your stuff together.

#### Say Goodbye To Blaine

> [In front of the house]**Blaine**Lily, please...
> It's not just about the money. I need you.
> This whole experience has changed me. I really do feel different, see things differently now.
> You make me a complete person. I can't function right without you. I just can't.**Lily**You keep saying that, but you know what you never said? This whole time you've been here?
> "I'm sorry."
> And that's because you're not sorry for what you did. You're just sorry it affected you too.
> A friend of mine once told me that no other person will ever make you whole. You have to do that yourself, Blaine.[Lily gives Blaine her engagement ring]

> **Lily**Here.**Blaine**Your ring...?**Lily**You can sell it and start over somewhere. Find out who you are without me.**Blaine**...
> I can be a better man. I'll prove it to you.**Lily**You need to prove it to yourself, not me.
> Now go on. Your taxi's here.[Blaine walks away]**Blaine**I'll prove it to you, Lily!**Lily**Goodbye, Blaine.[Blaine leaves]**Lily**...

#### Call Regina

> [In front of the house Lily calls Regina]**Lily**...
> Hey lady.**Regina**Hey girly.**Lily**Listen, he's gone. Can we talk?**Regina**We probably should, yeah.**Lily**Shouldn't have lied to you. I shouldn't have hidden him from you. I should have listened to you.
> I've been so stressed out, under so much pressure from this deadline...
> Blaine felt comfortable and familiar. I slipped right back into my old habits.**Regina**I get it. I'm sorry I snapped at you, babe.
> I was just so upset, knowing his history...**Lily**You don't need to apologize. I get it too.
> Still friends?**Regina**Always. Wanna do a little work on the watermill?**Lily**Yes please.**Regina**Okay. I'll be over soon. I'll bring Grandpa too. He has something for you.
> \*click\*[The call ends]**Lily**Guess I'll go over to the watermill.
> Come on, girl!**Roxy**Borf![Near the watermill there are five raccoons]**Lily**Oh!!
> So many little buddies!!!

#### Feed Raccoons

> [Near the millwater]**Lily**Li'l trash pandas! Soup's on![Lily leaves some food on the floor that Roxy and raccons eat]**Raccoons***\*chitter chitter\**
> *\*chitter chitter\*!!*[Regina and Philip walk towards Lily]**Regina**What's with all the skunks?**Lily**Why am I the only person who knows what a raccoon looks like?[Philip gives Lily the land record]**Philip Jones**Miss Roberts, per your request when we last spoke, I obtained a land record for you.
> Peruse it at your leisure! I do hope it gives you some piece of mind.**Lily**Thank you, Mr. Jones!**Regina**As for me, I've brought my big muscles for more work on the mill.**Lily**The muscles I can take or leave. I'm just glad you're here.**Regina**Me too, lady. Me too.

#### Study Land Record

> [Near the millwater the raccons runs away]**Lily**Time to take a peak at this land record...

> **Lily**So we've got this watermill...
> Some kinda quarry to the southwest...
> A little tower or something...
> Then some sort of other building on the southern edge, and a grove of trees.
> If this is all of it...I might be able to get it all done in time.**Philip Jones**With a little help from your friends!**Lily**Thank you, Mr. Jones.**Philip Jones**As I said, just focus on the special condition. I know you'll be just fine.**Lily**Oh, that reminds me--I had a question...

#### Talk To Philip

> [Near the millwater]**Lily**I saw the names Arturo and Leonardo carved into the tree over there.
> I figured Arturo was Uncle Arthur...do you know who Leonardo was?**Philip Jones**That would be Leonard Ricci.**Lily**Oh! Like Ricci & LaRosa, like it says on the mill!**Philip Jones**Oh yes. The two families were in business together, and were quite successful, to boot.**Lily**I didn't know Uncle Arthur was a businessman.**Philip Jones**Oh, he wasn't. Your great-uncle sold his share of the business to Leonard long ago. He preferred his art.
> After the sale, Leonard excised the LaRosa name from the business. It's just Ricci's now.**Lily**Wait, like...Ricci's frozen pizzas? Ricci's pizza sauce? Ricci's gelato?**Philip Jones**The very same.
> As for Leonard, he only uses the Ricci name to sell Italian food. He likes to call himself Mr. Rich.**Lily**Mr. Rich...?
> I've heard that name somewhere before...

#### Replace Roof

> [Near the millwater]**Regina**Really is a wonder the whole roof didn't collapse under that tree.**Lily**At least one thing around here didn't collapse under pressure...**Regina**Hey, you did good. You sent him packing! Or so I assume.**Lily**You assume correctly.**Regina**I'm gonna get up there and start patching up the roof. Wanna tell me about it?

*Player selects an option*

> **Regina**How's that look?**Lily**Great!**Regina**Anyway...can't say I'm super surprised that Blaine was lying, but what was LARRY doing there?**Lily**That's what I'm still puzzling out. I didn't really let Blaine explain...
> Anyway. Let's fix the walls here.

#### Replace Walls

> [Near the millwater]**Regina**Time to put up some walls.**Lily**But we've been breaking them down so well today!**Regina**I take it back. I actually hate you and I'm leaving again.**Lily**Noooo!**Regina**Hahaha. C'mon, show me how you want them.

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Like this!**Regina**Perf.**Lily**Totes perf.

Transition Dialogue

> [Near the millwater]**Regina**Well, looks like the place won't collapse on us now.**Lily**You did great work, lady.**Regina**Thank ya kindly. We can tackle the door, the windows, or the wheel right now.
> Your call!

#### Replace Door

> [Near the millwater]**Regina**I suppose we could stand to replace the door.**Lily**You know what they say...**Regina**What do they say?**Lily**Oh. I don't actually know. I thought maybe you'd have something for this.**Regina**Hahaha, come on, nerd. Help me put it up.

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Lookin' good!**Regina**Wanna take a peek inside, now that there's a door through which to peek?**Lily**Don't mind if I do!**Regina**What about you, Grandpa?[Philip walks towards Lily and Regina]**Philip Jones**Well, I do so love a mystery...

#### Explore Millhouse

> [In the millhouse]**Lily**Dusty in here.**Regina**All those crates say Ricci & LaRosa. What were they making here, Grandpa?**Philip Jones**Afraid I couldn't say! This mill predates me by some time.
> Whatever it was, it was probably their first product. By wartime they had factories up and down the coast.
> Canned food was, as I'm sure you can imagine, quite the hot commodity at the time.[Philip sits down again]**Regina**Strange that this is so tucked away at the edge of the property.**Lily**You'd think it'd be closer to the house, or the house closer to it...
> Anyway. More to do.

#### Decorate Porch

> [Near the millwater]**Lily**This porch is just begging for some planters.**Regina**How do you want them to look?**Lily**Oh, just like...

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**That! Yeah!**Regina**They're planterrible!
> Wait! No!**Regina**They're planterrifying!**Lily**Nooo, they're good! They're good!!

#### Decorate Door

> [Near the millwater]**Lily**You can't do one-liners anymore. My heart can't take it.**Regina**Try and stop me. I'm gonna say something catty about whatever we do next!**Lily**Nooo!! Don't be mean about the lanterns!**Regina**I'm gonna. Just you watch.

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**\*sigh\* I'm ready for you to say the mean one-liner about the lanterns.**Regina**Hmm...nah, they're actually really cute.
> I got the catty one-liners out of my system...**Lily**Oh yay!**Regina**...For now.**Lily**Oh no!

#### Replace Windows

> [Near the millwater]**Lily**Shame the windows are broken. I kinda like that old, melty glass in old-timey buildings.**Regina**All right, GRANNY. Wanna stick with old-timey then? Or try something different?**Lily**I'm open for suggestions, YOUNGSTER. Show me what you've got!

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Glassic!**Regina**Is that like...**Lily**Classic plus glass, yeah.**Regina**It kinda just sounds like you said "classic" with a head cold.

#### Decorate Windows

> [Near the millwater]**Lily**That's it.**Regina**What's it?**Lily**I can stare at these plain windows no longer...
> Henceforth, I shall decorate them to my heart's content!**Regina**O...kay.

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Forsooth![Philip stands up]**Regina**Yeah, I get it. Old-timey talk.**Philip Jones**Did someone call me?**Regina**No, Grandpa.**Philip Jones**Oh. I'll just sit back down, then...

#### Clear Waterwheel

> [Near the millwater]**Regina**No wonder this thing isn't moving. It's dirty. It's rusty, the water isn't connected...**Lily**Well, I guess we can start by cleaning it.
> Fixing it seems like a Luke thing.**Regina**Where is he, anyway? I haven't seen him around.**Lily**He's got his own stuff to do...he can't always be here.**Regina**Yeah, but you only have a little over a week left. I figured maybe he'd be here pitching in.**Lily**Not his problem. Come on, let's clean this thing.

*A little later*

> **Lily**Looks like the filthy wheel gets the elbow grease!
> Eh? Eh?**Regina**Do not push me for a response to your puns today, ma'am. You will not like it.

#### Clear Weeds

> [Near the millwater]**Lily**Let's get rid of these weeds.**Regina**Speaking of weeds...can I make an observation?**Lily**When have I ever been able to stop you?**Regina**Truuue. I'm just thinking it can't be a coincidence that Luke disappears and you go gaga for your ex.**Lily**Yeah, well...
> He's been gone, he's been getting all cozy with HIS ex...
> Maybe I was just...following his example.
> Weeds?**Regina**Ah. Yeah.

*A bunch of weeds later*

> **Regina**Well, here's to plucking THAT weed, anyway.**Lily**And salting the earth so that nothing may grow there again!**Regina**Hardcore, babe.**Lily**I can be hardcore. I'm edgy.**Regina**Uh huh.

#### Clear Algae

> [Near the millwater]**Lily**Gosh, I knew my life was missing something. It's been literal days since I've cleaned up algae.**Regina**It's nice that you know what you need to feel fulfilled.**Lily**The wisdom of my many years. Come on, rake up the algae and be fulfilled with me.[Lily and Regina starts raking]**Lily***I like to rake it rake it***Regina***I like to rake it rake it***Lily***You like to...***Regina***Rake it!*

*Lots of algae raking later*

> **Lily**Oh boy. We did it.**Regina**Feeling fulfilled?**Lily**Sure. Let's go with that.

#### Plant Flowers

> [Near the millwater]**Lily**Now we finally get to plant some flowers.
> Been a stressful day. A little color will do me some good, I think.**Regina**You just show me what to put where, flower girl.**Lily**Let's do it like this...

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Floweriffic!**Regina**Haven't heard one of those in a while. You must be feeling like yourself again.**Lily**Working on it.

Transition Dialogue

> [Near the millwater Luke walks towards Lily and Regina]**Luke**Hey neighbor.**Lily**Luke! Hey!**Luke**I saw that Blaine guy in a cab when I was drivin' here.**Lily**Oh. Yeah, he, uhhh...left.**Luke**Shame. Karen seemed to take a shine to 'im.
> But, uh...what's the deal there? Why was he here?
> It seemed like you guys were arguin', but I didn't wanna get in the middle of somethin'**Lily**\*sigh\* Well...

#### Talk To Luke

> [Near the millwater]**Lily**Remember the ex Regina told you I chased off?**Luke**Yeah?**Lily**The ex was Blaine.**Luke**Jeez, he's...not what I imagined.**Lily**Yeah, well, me either. Anyway. He came here with some kinda scheme to get me to sell the place.**Luke**Kinda puttin' the cart before the horse there, isn't he?**Lily**That's what I said. But.
> I figured him out. I sent him packing. Hopefully, he never comes back.**Luke**You don't mind me sayin', it seems like you're kinda sad about it.**Lily**Maybe. It's complicated.**Luke**I know what you mean. You want any help here?**Lily**Actually, yeah...I wanna get that waterwheel going again. Can you take a look at it?**Luke**You got it.

#### Repair Waterwheel

> [Near the millwater]**Luke**Just gimme a minute to check out the mechanism here...
> No, yeah, I think we can get this workin'.**Lily**Speaking of, um...how'd it go with the roadster?**Luke**Hmm? Oh, yeah, whole thing's too much work to try to repair and sell. Salvage yard bought it off me as-is.**Lily**Wait, really? You weren't getting it repaired for...**Luke**For what?**Lily**I just...thought you and Rachel were trying again.**Luke**Tryin'...to get the car goin'? Naw, she thought it was a dumb idea. Real dumb.[Regina takes Lily aside]**Regina**That man is thicker than molasses.**Lily**Don't I know it. Still. The news is good...**Luke**Okay, I think it's all set. We just gotta connect the water now. Ready?**Lily**Ready!

#### Connect Water

> [Near the millwater]**Lily**Okay, let's get that water going!**Regina**Cross your fingers, lady and gentlemen...[Regina makes the water flow]**Regina**There we go!**Philip Jones**Ah! Lovely work!**Lily**Wheee, watch it go!**Luke**How long you suppose that wheel's been stuck?**Lily**Too long.**Luke**Hm?**Lily**Nothing. I'm glad you came by today.**Luke**Me too. I'm always happy after I come by.**Lily**You should come by more often, then.**Luke**Don't need to tell me twice.**Lily**I might anyway. Just in case it doesn't get through your thick head the first time.[Regina and Philip walks toward Lily and Luke]**Philip Jones**You know, in many ancient cultures, a thick head was a sign of strength...**Lily**Not now, Mr. Jones...

#### Start New Day

> [Near the millwater]**Philip Jones**Outstanding work, Miss Roberts. 5.5 out of 6 stars!**Lily**So...why didn't I get the last half a star?**Philip Jones**I got splinters in my buttocks!**Lily**O...kay?
> Oh...the fireplace seating! Yeah, I'll give it another round of sandpaper.**Regina**Later, Lils![Regina and Philip leave]**Lily**So...Mr. Fix-It-All. What are your plans for tonight?**Luke**I'm gonna go look for Dog! ...I mean, Roxy!**Lily**Yeah...I have a feeling her new friends might be a bad influence on her. I'll help you look.[Luke leaves]**Lily**...
> Oh, Blaine. I hope you land on your feet.

Transition Dialogue

> [Somewhere]**Blaine**\*sob\* I landed straight on my butt...
> I can't go on like this, Lilybear.
> I'm gonna do something I should've done a long time ago.
> I'm gonna...guh...
> I'm GONNA DO SOMETHING NnuuuhhhHH...!
> ...Something nnnice for somebody other than myself.[Blaine takes out Rachel's business card]

> **Blaine**...Starting with THIS! I'll donate my art to that children's hospital Rachel talked about.
> ...[Blaine runs away]
