## Dialogue

#### Opening Scene

> **Lily**Gooood morning, bees! Good morning, flowers!
> Good morning... weird banjo-playing neighbor!
> All right, I've got 29 days left to whip this place back into shape. That's... 232 working hours. Minus lunch, that's...
> GAH!
> What is -- why is there an entire junkyard's worth of scrap metal in my garden?!
> ...
> Luke...

#### Talk To Luke

> [In front of Luke's house]**Lily**Ugh... I was so angry last night. I feel a little embarrassed... but I HAVE to confront Luke with that scrap pile.
> Sweaty palms? Check. Alarming heartrate? Check. Tic in left eyebrow? Double check.
> Get it together, Lily. You're a grown woman! You can do this!
> ...**Luke**Mornin' Lily![Luke walks towards Lily]**Lily**H-hey, Luke! Uhh, we need to... talk about... to talk about, uh...
> STUFF!**Luke**Yeah, all right. Want some coffee?**Lily**What? No! I mean.. I... Hey, what are you doing up so early?**Luke**Lookin' for Dog.**Lily**Which dog?**Luke**My dog. His name's Dog.**Lily**You named your dog "Dog"?**Luke**Hey, I'm a sculptor, not a writer. If you see him, will you let me know?**Lily**Of course. But, uh, do you know who all that scrap metal in my garden belongs to...?**Luke**Oh...THAT whole thing...
> Ehhnn... yeah, my bad, my bad. Let me just grab some gloves and I'll get rid of it.

#### Remove Scrap Metal

> [Lily and Luke walk toward the gate that seprates the two houses]**Luke**You know... we could just call it an "art piece" and leave it.**Lily**Sure. "Neighborly Love," OR "Trashpile in Someone Else's Garden"...
> ...by Luke.**Luke**Ha ha!
> Hey, uh, this might take a little while, you know.**Lily**I'll help you out. IF you promise not to put any more "art in my garden.**Luke**Deal.

*A little while later*

> **Luke**That's the last of it. Sorry for the mess, neighbor.**Lily**'Sokay. Hey... with the scrap gone, you should check and see if Dog's hiding in the old flower garden.

#### Check Out Garden

> [Lily and Luke walks into the main garden]**Luke**Wow...this place looks post-apocalyptic! The old lady must’ve totally neglected it for YEARS!**Lily**My great-aunt was really old in the end. I guess at some point she just couldn’t do the garden work anymore.**Luke**Ah, so you inherited this place! I couldn’t figure out why ANYONE would EVER buy this dump!
> I mean...
> Hey listen, I can help you restore the old gazebo here, if you like...**Lily**Really?**Luke**Look, I’ve been bending steel for the past two decades. I can do a gazebo.**Lily**Well, that’s two more decades than I’ve been doing it, so sure!**Luke**Great. I’ll go grab some tools![Luke leaves]**Lily**Hey, what should I do if I find Dog?
> Also, how will I know he’s your dog? What does he look like?
> Luke...?

#### Dismantle Old Gazebo

> [In the main garden Luke holds a sledgehammer]**Luke**First, I need to remove the old rusty metal. Stand back!**Lily**You sure you know what you’re doing?**Luke**GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH![Luke demolish the old gazebo]

*5 minutes later*

> **Lily**Wow! You’re like a human wrecking ball!**Luke**Well...  destroying stuff is easy. Especially when you got a sledgehammer!**Lily**I guess the tricky part is building it back up?**Luke**Well, any Joe Schmoe can build something all wobbly and useless.
> Like, you can’t bend steel just like that! It takes time and patience and SKILLS. You need to measure the exact angle and pick just the right materials...
> ...
> Ha ha! Sorry about the sales pitch. Old habit. I’ll have the new steel prepped and ready by tomorrow!**Lily**Thanks![Luke walks away]**Luke**Oh, hey - You should check your mailbox. I saw the mailman stop by earlier.**Lily**Will do! So what should I do with the rusty gazebo parts?
> ...Luke?

#### Remove Pile O' Gazebo Parts

> [In the main garden]**Lily**Is it weird that I let my drowsy, unshaven neighbor come over and use a sledgehammer?
> It was nice to have another pair of hands around though...
> Mm...\*sigh\*
> Ha! Haha! Gotta clean up that rebar!

*A bit later*

> **Lily**\*cough\* Think I inhaled some rust... Huh? What's this?
> Another old photo![Lily collects the photo]

> **Lily**That's Aunt Mary and Uncle Arthur on their wedding day... She's so beautiful, and he's so handsome...
> I wish I'd had a chance to meet Uncle Arthur...l think I would've liked him.
> I'll add that one to the scrapbook.

#### Check Mailbox

> [In front of the mailbox]**Lily**Bills, bills, bills.
> Ooh, a letter!
> It's from Cousin Larry. He's coming to visit?
> Larry must've been PRETTY upset when he found out about the will.
> As Uncle Arthur's son, he would've inherited this place... if it wasn't for little ol' me!
> Ugh. More confrontation coming up. I gotta occupy my brain with something...
> I spy some weeds in need of pulling...

#### Remove Weeds 1/2

> [In the main garden]**Lily**I need some gardening tools for this. Now, where do I find...
> Oh, right. Aunt Mary kept those in the basement.[Lily walks towards the basement]

> **Lily**\*Cough!\* Little dusty in here.
> There's Aunt Mary's gardening gloves... And another photo!
> [Lily collects the photo]

> **Lily**That's the day Aunt Mary and I planted tulips together. I had so many rides in that old wheel barrow!
> I miss you, Aunt Mary.[Lily comes out of the basement]**Lily**\*sniff\* Okay! Weeds!!

#### Remove Weeds 2/2

> [In the main garden]**Lily**Alright, weeds. Your nutrient-stealing days are over!
> [Lily cleans the area]**Lily**Hey... This is kinda cathartic.
> *This weed is my breakup...*
> *this weed is my old job...*
> *this weed is cousin Larry...*
> *Yank yank yank!*

*347 weeds later*

> **Lily**Now, THAT felt good. Now I just need to make sure these things don't spread any seeds...
> Of course, that empty space will be a real eyesore...
> Unless I fill it with enough bright, colorful flowers to make me forget ALLLL my problems!!

#### Destroy Weeds

> [In the main garden]**Lily**Heh heh heh...I know what to do with all my PROBLEMS!
> Throw 'em in a TRASH BAG where they BELONG!

*10 minutes later*

> [In front of the house]**Lily**ALL problems GONE! YEAH! Woob-ba-doo!
> WOOB-BA-DOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!**Luke**What's all the yellin' about?[Luke walks towards Lily]**Lily**Just, uh, got a little too into weed removal. Must be the, uh, thin mountain air?**Luke**I've heard of it makin' people lightheaded, but not makin' em yell "woob-ba-doo" at a trash bag.**Lily**Okay, well, another explanation could be that I'm just a maniac.
> Who even SAYS woob-ba-doo?!**Luke**WOOOOB-BA-DOOOOO!!
> Ah jeez! Looks like it's contagious! Thanks a lot!**Lily**Oh no! I'm scared!**Luke**You should be! There are two screaming WEIRDOS loose on the mountain!
> Oh, hey - what I really wanted to tell you is that the gazebo parts are shaping up nicely.[Luke walks away]**Luke**I'll let you choose the final design when we build the gazebo tomorrow! Woob-ba-doo, neighbor!**Lily**Woob-ba-doo, indeed.

#### Lay Out Flowerbeds

> [In the main garden]**Lily**Okay, Mr. Jones. Not sure what kind of flower could possibly "dazzle" you...
> I DO know that it was so much fun riding the wheelbarrow around the garden with Aunt Mary planting tulips...
> ...
> Tulips! I need to plant tulips, of course!

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**A little snipping, a little trimming, it's all gonna make this garden beautiful again.
> Trimming...
> Like trimming cheating boyfriends out of your LIFE!
> ...
>  Stupid Blaine... He's 3000 miles away now and he can STILL make my blood boil.
>  I need to sit down for a bit...
> ...As soon as I get some benches that HAVEN'T become termite food...

#### Build Benches

> [In the main garden]**Lily**Time for a weary gardener to take a little break.
> It's weird to call myself that. I was an accountant until like a week ago, after all...

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**If I fits, I sits![Lily sits on the bench]**Lily**Ahh... A spare second to enjoy the fresh air.
> ...
> Aunt Mary, you mischievous old biddy, What have you gotten me into?
> Something tells me that you had Mr. Jones wait to tell me about the "special condition" until after I got here.
> Now there's a crazy month ahead of me...so much work to handle all by myself.
> Blaine probably would've had this piece back in shape in a week, all without ever putting his hands in the dirt...
> Once he set his mind on something, he was totally dedicated to it!
> Unless the "something" we're talking about is me, of course...
> No. Heck no! I don't need Blaine to get this done! This is MY new life and he's not invited!
> I can do anything I put my mind to, too! And I STAYED when I got that news. I don't think the old Lily would have!
> That's a nice thought to light up the day...[Lily gets up from the bench]**Lily**LIGHTS. I need to get some garden lights!

#### Build Lights

> [In the main garden]**Lily**Spending evenings out here with Aunt Mary was always magical... Out here in the mountains you can actually see the stars at night. Not like the city.
> I think some lanterns would make it real nice and cozy out here.

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Coziness overload!
> ...
> Hm... Guess I'll have to wait till nightfall before that nice-and-cozy feel really kicks in.
> [Lily walks towards the hedge]**Lily**OKAY! That untrimmed hedge has been bothering me all day.
> Let's do this.

#### Trim Hedge

> [In the main garden]**Lily**Hedge shears? Check! Determined facial expression? Check!
> Hey, this isn't so hard. Trim! Trim! Cut! Cut!
> Make a mistake! Try to cover it up!
> T-trim... Trim... Cut... c-cut...

*Many, many hours later*

> **Lily**Trim...triiiiiiiimmm...
> ALL DONE!
> Hey, what's that?[Dog comes out of the hedge]**Dog**ARF! ARF!**Lily**H-hey DOG! That's a mighty loud bark for such a little dog. Hold on, I'll just call Lu...**Luke**Hey, that's Dog! Hey buddy![Luke walks towards Lily and Dog]**Luke**You can't just run off like that. I was worried about you, boy!**Dog**Baaawww...**Luke**Thanks for finding my boy, Lily!**Lily**Erh... Luke?
> You know that Dog is a girl, right?**Luke**Uh... Yeah.
> He's... not just fixed?**Lily**How... long have you had this dog?**Luke**Just a few, uh...months...
> Ha ha ha! Must be that thin mountain air, huh?
> Come on, boy... I mean, girl. Let's go home and get some food.**Dog**Arf![Luke and Dog walk away]**Luke**No wonder you've never lifted your leg... thought you just had a bad hip or something.
> Suppose that means I need to actually get you fixed, huh?**Dog**Bwarf!?**Lily**That's an oddly heartwarming ending to a long day.

#### Start New Day

> [In front of the house]**Lily**Goodnight flowers, goodnight bees...
> Goodnight weird sledgehammer-weilding neighbor who owns a girl-dog named Dog.

*3:02 AM*

> **Lily**Nnnngh... It's Prince Luke! He's come to take me away on his flying unicorn![Lily dreams]

> **Lily**This is really normal stuff that must be happening in real life!**Luke**Hey baby. What do you say we het outta here?
> I've got a magic castle with your name on it. Literally.
> In fact, my neighbors aren't happy that your name is so huge and bright.
> Anyway, hop on, hot stuff.**Lily**How could I say no to those ungroomed locks and three-day growth of facial hair?
> Oh, Luke! I'm so happy this is happening in real life!
> All that stuff with the house is just, like, whatever, you know?**Luke**Hold on, baby! Just some highly normal flaming meteors ahead!**Lily**Just normal stuff that happens in real liiiiiiiiiife...
