## Dialogue

*What is it?*

*If you're here to take my census, then go away.*

*Please, I can't be bothered right now.*

**What's wrong? (cha check)**

(Failure) I'm not here to answer your questions. If you want to chit-chat, there's plenty of other people to talk to.

(Success) *Ever been to Gumboro? 46 Ave?*

**Tell me about yourself. -** *My life isn't your business.*

**New Market Village -** *It's just a trailer park. Nothing to do. No men. Nothing.*

**New Market Cemetery -** *I drive past it on the way to Ellendale. That's all I can tell you.*

**Men? (piety check)**

**Fire-Eater: (1)** *Do you think I care? If you people just knew how to do your job, if this government actually gave a- Forget it.*

**Fire-Eater: (2)** *Do you think I care? If you people just knew how to do your job, if this government actually gave a- Forget it.*

**Fire-Eater: (3).** *Yeah, I know who you are. Do you think I care? If you people just knew how to do your job, if this government actually gave a- Forget it.*

**Fire-Eater: (4)** *Maybe you should instruct the other firemen on how to fight fires.*

## Unique Interactions

**Why do you talk this way?**

*Don't you judge me! I could have just stayed in Gumboro, and slept and drank my life away! At least I came here, at least I'm trying.*

**Hi Lai, I heard about your house in Gumboro. Your sister is very concerned for you, so I came down to see if you're okay.** *(if you've already visited her family in Gumboro)*

**Lai:** Leave me alone, Phil. I haven't watched your weatherman.

**Phil:** It was really good material tonight! Sunny weather for the next few days...or was it rain? (forgetful) Hey Lai! Have you seen the news lately? Lai? Lai?

**Phil:** Beautiful weather we're having!

**Lai:** It has been alright, it's really nice when you sit by the pond.

**Phil:** What pond?

**Elizabeth:** Hey Lai, how are you doing? We brought you some apple pie.

**Lai**: Thank you, that's nice of you.

**Elizabeth:** We're having a Bible study next week, at our friend's home. I don't know if you would like to join us?

**Lai:** Sorry, not my thing.

**Elizabeth**: Are you sure? You would be welcome.

**Lai**: Sorry

**Lai**: Matilda, you have a boyfriend. How are the men here?
