Memento Morrie

**Memento Morrie** is a Story Quest in the *Lightbearer* DLC. It begins when Nick enters the bar and gets up close to the stage.

## Objectives

* Speak to Morrie Memento
* Return Morrie's piano tuner

## In-Game Description

Oh, worse luck. It had to be Morrie, of all people. I suppose I'll have to put up with him if I want to find out about that tune.

I NEED to hear that song! Never thought I'd say that about a Morrie number.

## Walkthrough

When getting up close to the bar, speak to Morrie regarding the song he was just playing. Morrie will refuse to play it for Nick as the dancers has stolen the piano tuner, Nick suggests that he can steal it back for him, to which Morrie agrees.

After finishing Going to a Go Go Dancer quest, head back to the bar and return the tuner to Morrie. He will play a piano version of I Have Seen Everything. After hearing the song, the quest ends.

## Transcript

### **Superbia**

Open/Close

Morrie: Norbert Pickles! Come to see your old band mate Morrie? Wondering how I've fared since you tossed me from the band?

Morrie: No, I'm merely in proximity to the bar.

Morrie: You look like hell, by the way. I suppose they tart you up a bit for the pictures, do they?

Nick: The song you were playing just now -- I just need to hear the rest of that song.

Morrie: This? Just a new bit I'm trying to work up. Mostly just to irritate her.

Morrie: You'd think that a dancer would be musical, but Dottie only likes bubblegum pop. Did I mention she's a fan of yours... "Nick".

Nick: No, not THAT. What you were playing before. Da da da da-da-da. That.

Morrie: Why? To get your jollies mocking me?

Nick: No, I just think it was very... catchy.

Morrie: Do you think Virgil might like it?

Nick: He'd...be all over it. He'd be in pieces. He'd bloody love it to death. I'd be glad to put a good word when I see him.

Morrie: Oh. But I can't play it for you today.

Nick: Why the fuck not? Sorry.

Morrie: Trollop stole my piano tuner -- said it sounds better that way. I can't be out of tune for my big break. Not when so much is riding on my perfection!

Nick: Oh, for fuck's sake. Look, what if I just steal it back for you?

Morrie: You'd do that? You MUST be eager to hear me play! Dottie's staying in the Shangri-La Suite. You've never had much trouble getting into birds' hotel rooms, have you?

Morrie: Morrie Memento -- HEADLINER!

### **Invidia**

Open/Close

Nick: Got your piano tuner, mate. Came through, didn't I?

Morrie: Aren't you eager to please! Worried I'll forget you when I'm on top, the way you did me? But I'm a bigger man than you. Hey, I'll even let you play back-up.

Nick: Huh, well, that's very generous, mate. Now would you play the song, please?

Morrie: You REALLY want it?

Nick: Please, I'm feverish in anticipation.

Morrie: (delighted giggle)

Nick: Where have I heard that tune before?

Morrie: It's a brand-new Morrie Memento composition.

Nick: I know I've heard it...

Morrie: Fine. I heard someone humming it on the roof last night. But I did put my own spin on it!

Nick: The roof!

Morrie: I made it my own! That takes talent too! You'll still talk to Virgil for me, won't you?

Nick: I have to go.

Morrie: I knew it! You never help anyone but yourself! You're a scoundrel and a fraud, Norbert Pickles -- and -- and you look silly in puffed sleeves!
