## Dialogue

#### Opening Scene

> **Lily**Hnngh...
> Am I really hung over from three glasses of wine?
> "Your 30s will be your best decade", they said...
> TELL THAT TO MY HEADACHE.**???**\*RING RING
> **Lily**Whyyyy...[In front of the house]**Lily**Gghhh...good morning, Regina.**Regina**Hey girly. Ready to work on the wheelhouse?**Lily**Don't make fun of me. I'm too hung over for that.**Regina**Hahaha. Lead the way, sleeping beauty.[Near the millwater]**Lily**Voila.**Regina**No wonder you needed me for this.
> Let's start with the bridge. As in, get it the heck out of there.

#### Remove Old Bridge

> [Near the millwater]**Regina**What have you been up to, anyway?**Lily**Oh...not much.
> Yesterday I referenced Limp Bizkit to a ten-year-old.**Regina**Sounds like something you'd do. C'mere, help me tear this down.

*A little while later*

> **Lily**It occurs to me that we could've set fire to it, just to say we burned bridges today.**Regina**If that wasn't illegal, I would've totally done it.
> But you don't seem like the type to burn bridges.**Lily**I...try not to be, that's for sure.**Regina**Let's get a new bridge up to the other side.

#### Build New Bridge

> **Lily**Looks like today we really get to b--**Regina**Let me stop you right there.
> Were you going to say "build bridges"?
> Because you already made that joke when we were working on the pond.
> ...
> I mean.
> Not NECESSARILY.**Regina**Hahaha. Come on.

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Looks sturdy. After you!**Regina**We're gonna need to get that tree out of there or else the whole structure's gonna collapse.**Lily**How do we do that?**Regina**We can start by cutting it into smaller pieces.

#### Remove Fallen Tree

> **Regina**Okay, this is the boring part, but gotta do it to save the mill house. Ready?**Lily**I was an accountant. I'm definitely fine with tedium.[Regina puts on her glasses and holds the chainsaw]

*One chopped down tree later*

> **Regina**Whew! That should keep the whole thing from collapsing, at least.**Lily**Everything's coming up mill house!**Blaine**Lily?[Blaine walks toward Lily and Regina]**Regina**Hm?
> What is he doing here?**Blaine**Lily! Good morning! Last night was so nice.**Regina**Oh no. You've GOT to be kidding me.
> Explain what I'm seeing here before I lose it.

#### Talk To Regina

> [Near the millwater]**Lily**It's not--it's not what you think.
> Blaine came here a few days ago and--**Regina**He's been here for DAYS?!**Lily**He didn't have anywhere else to go.**Regina**How is that your problem?**Lily**I couldn't just turn him away...**Regina**Yes, you could have. And you should have.
> Do you not remember what he did?
> Do you not remember him coming over here unannounced and refusing to leave?
> Is any of this getting through to you?!**Lily**Regina, please, listen...

#### Defend Blaine

> [Near the millwater]**Lily**He's...changed, okay? He's different!**Regina**I can't believe you. It's been like two weeks since you saw him last.**Lily**I know, I know, but...[Blaine walks towards Lily and Regina]**Blaine**If I could just--**Regina**Shut up, string bean. You don't get to talk.**Lily**He's being nice, okay? You can't just yell at him.**Regina**I surely the hell can!
> After a few weeks, I thought I knew you, but apparently I don't know you at all!
> You just rolled over for this trash bag of a man the second I wasn't around. What happened to New Lily?!
> And you even LIED to me about him. Unbelievable.
> I'm outta here. Have fun with Barefoot Hot-mess-a.[Regina walks away]**Lily**Regina--**Regina**Don't call me again. I'm done working for you.[Regina leaves]**Lily**...
> ......

#### Cry A Lot

> [Near the millwater]**Blaine**Are you...okay?**Lily**...
> No...
> \*sob\*
> She's my best friend and I hurt her.**Blaine**You didn't do anything wrong.**Lily**I did...\*sniff\*...I lied to her. I said I hadn't heard from you since you left last time.**Blaine**If you can't be honest with your friend without her freaking out then maybe she isn't really your friend.**Lily**I don't...\*sob\*
> How am I gonna finish all of this without her?**Blaine**You don't need her. I can help.**Lily**YOU can...? Pfahaha...\*sniff\***Blaine**I'm serious. I'm not a master woodworker but I know I can help.
> The important thing is just that you finish in time, right? Who helps you is immaterial.**Lily**\*sniff\*
> Okay. Thank you, Blaine.**Blaine**Let's get to work, Lilybear.

#### Remove Weeds

> [Near the millwater]**Lily**I really need to talk to Regina...she was so upset...**Blaine**You can't worry about her right now.
> The most important is finishing your work and inheriting. Right?**Lily**...I guess...[Blaine kneels and starts picking weeds]**Blaine**Let's pick some weeds.
> ...You'll just have to show me which ones are weeds.

*One lesson in weeds picking later*

> **Blaine**How did I do?**Lily**Not bad for a novice. Thank you.

#### Trim Trees And Bushes

> [Near the millwater]**Lily**Do you think you can trim a tree?**Blaine**Is that something people do?**Lily**What? Yes, Blaine.**Blaine**Can't you just leave them alone?**Lily**I mean, you CAN, but they can get out of control and start looking scraggly.
> Wanna try trimming some branches?**Blaine**...Why don't I watch you do it first?**Lily**My hero.

*One lesson in tree trimming later*

> **Lily**See? You just...trim branches.**Blaine**Interesting. I'm learning so much.**Lily**Good grief.

#### Replace Soil

> [Near the millwater]**Lily**Wouldn't be too hard to turn this area into a little rock garden.**Blaine**Like the place I was meditating in?**Lily**Oh, no, different kind of rock garden. It's just a garden that...has rocks.**Blaine**Look, this is all a bit much to follow. I'll just call a carpenter and a landscaper. They'll finish this much faster than us.**Lily**Okay, but uh, how are we paying for them?**Blaine**...**Lily**...**Blaine**Right. Yes. The money thing.**Lily**That very thing. Come on, we just need to place some soil and make a pathway.

*A little later*

> **Lily**See? It wasn't so hard.**Blaine**Would have been much easier to not have to do it at all.**Lily**This place'll look even better with some color.

#### Place Ground Flowers

> [Near the millwater]**Lily**Now we can plant some plants that're low to the ground.**Blaine**Just show me where.

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**There we go. What do you think?**Blaine**You can still see...the rocks.**Lily**Right.**Blaine**Because the rocks are...important?**Lily**Blaine.**Blaine**I'm just asking! I didn't think anyone actually LIKED rocks.
> Except in the "check out the rock he got me!" kind of way. You certainly did, anyway.
> ...**Lily**I did keep it, you know.**Blaine**You did?**Lily**Yeah. Don't know why.
> Hard to let go, I guess.**Blaine**I know the feeling.

#### Plant Shrubberies

> [Near the millwater]**Blaine**What's next? More rocks?**Lily**I was thinking more plants?**Blaine**I knew it was one or the other.**Lily**We'll plant a few taller ones that give the area some depth.

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**See?**Blaine**Hmm...
> It's strange. It's like I made something that I'd want to paint.**Lily**Why is that strange?**Blaine**I suppose...I never saw myself as a creator of anything but money.
> And with painting I'm just...painting what I see.
> But I actually helped you make something pretty here.**Lily**Isn't that refreshing? In like a spiritual way?**Blaine**I guess that until recently...I wasn't sure I had one.**Lily**Had what?**Blaine**A...spirit.**Lily**There's hope for you yet, string bean.

#### Decorate Tree Stump

> [Near the millwater]**Lily**That stump is really uglying the place up.
> I'm sure its roots are too deep to bother trying to pull it up.
> It'd probably bring the whole mill down.
> But!
> We can make it CUTE!**Blaine**How's that?**Lily**Same way you make everything cute!
> Add some flowers!

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**That's one cute stump!**Blaine**Hmmm...**Lily**What? You don't think it's cute? It's cute!**Blaine**Maybe I'm not...the best judge of this kind of thing.

#### Remove Fireplace Weeds

> [Near the millwater]**Lily**...**Blaine**Penny for your thoughts?**Lily**Hmm? Oh...
> I just should have told Regina you were here.**Blaine**Why? It's none of her business.
> And she seemed awfully jealous that we were spending time together.**Lily**Jealous?**Blaine**Of course. Her reaction was totally overblown! She probably has a crush on you or something.**Lily**...I dunno. Maybe.
> Can we pick some weeds?**Blaine**Just show me what's a weed.[Lily and Blaine kneel and start picking weeds]**Lily**Sometimes I like to pretend that weeds are my problems.
> You were a weed, once. Maybe more than once.**Blaine**That was before. I came back! Who ever heard of a weed that comes back?**Lily**...You don't know much about plants, do you, Blaine?

*Another lesson in weeds picking later*

> **Lily**Oh! It looks like this place is supposed to be a little campfire spot.

#### Trim Oak Tree

> [Near the millwater]**Lily**This oak tree needs a haircut.
> Like someone else I know.**Blaine**Well, it's not as if I can afford a new coif from Jean-Pierre right now.
> And what, you don't like it? A new hairstyle for a new Blaine?**Lily**Why do men always think "not cutting your hair" is a hairstyle?
> Stand back so you don't get hit by falling branches, hippie.

*Lots of falling branches later*

> **Blaine**Hey, someone carved up your tree.**Lily**What?**Blaine**Check it out.

#### Examine Oak Tree

> [Near the millwater]**Lily**"Arturo + Leonardo 1933".
> Arturo...that's probably Uncle Arthur.**Blaine**The one who used to live here?**Lily**Yeah. As for Leonardo...I don't know who that is.
> Maybe Philip will know.**Blaine**Maybe it's his favorite Ninja Turtle.**Lily**In 1933??**Blaine**Let me tell you about a little film called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: Turtles in Time...**Lily**Not this again...

Transition Dialogue

> [Near the millwater]**Blaine**Know what might be nice here? A fire pit.**Lily**Oh, you're right.
> Could roast some hot dogs...marshmallows too...**Lily**Relax to Wonderwall on banjo...**Blaine**Banjo?**Lily**Oh, just...
> ...My neighbor. I hear him playing banjo sometimes.**Blaine**The one from the other day? He seems like a real meathead.
> At least he's got a wife, so I don't need to worry about him trying to get with you.**Lily**...Yeah.
> Let's build that fire pit.

#### Build Fireplace

> [Near the millwater]**Lily**So this'll be exactly as complex as we want it to be.
> We can make it nice or we can just use a bunch of rocks.**Blaine**Which one are we doing?**Lily**Oh, uh, I don't care. You can pick.**Blaine**Ha. Just like old times.**Lily**...**Blaine**There. Exactly how you wanted it.

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**...Yeah. Exactly...

#### Build Seats

> [Near the millwater]**Lily**When you said you were "not exactly a master woodworker", I assume you meant--**Blaine**That I know absolutely nothing about carpenting? Correct.**Lily**...Carpenting?**Blaine**Yeah. What a carpenter does.[Lily turns her gaze to the fallen tree]**Lily**Hoo boy. Okay, well, we have an excess of wood from the tree that fell on the mill.
> We can use that to make some cute benches for the fire pit.**Blaine**Sounds complicated.**Lily**Too bad! You need to get those hands dirty if you want to help me.

*A few hours later*

> **Lily**We can just place them right...

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Here.
> See what a day of...carpenting gets you?**Blaine**Chairs that'll give you splinters?**Lily**"New Blaine", huh?**Blaine**I'm trying! I'm trying.

#### Place Ground Flowers

> [Near the millwater]**Lily**Let's do a little planting over here.

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Get you feeling connected with nature! Right?**Blaine**Hmm?
> Oh, yes, right. Nature! Harmony and all that.**Lily**Right. Anyway...
> Now it feels a little cozier.**Blaine**Perfect for snuggling up in the dark.**Lily**That sounds nice.**Blaine**Good.

Transition Dialogue

> [Near the millwater a raccoon runs towards Blaine]**Blaine**Lily! A feral cat!**Lily**Blaine, that's a raccoon.**Blaine**I don't care about scientific mumbo-jumbo! Get outta here, you!**Lily**Wait! Look.[Another raccoon runs towards Lily and Blaine]**Lily**There's two of them! How cuuuuute.
> Wonder if they want a snack...

#### Feed Raccoons

> [Near the millwater Lily leaves some food on the ground]**Lily**Here you go, little buddies.**Raccoons***\*chitter chitter\**
> *\*munch munch\****Blaine**If you feed those cats, you'll never get rid of them.**Lily**They're not--never mind.
> Think they're a couple?**Blaine**Have you seen any kittens around?**Lily**You're unreal.
> Oh, I didn't realize how late it already was...**Blaine**I'll head back to the studio.[Blaine walks away]**Lily**Blaine, um...
> You can...you can sleep on the couch in the main house, if you want.**Blaine**Thank you.**Lily**You're welcome.

#### Start New Day

> [In front of the house]**Lily**I'm gonna have a shower and head to bed. I'll see you in the morning.**Blaine**Okay. Goodnight, Lilybear.

*3:04AM*

> [In front of the house Blaine is sitting in the wheelbarrow]**Larry**Blaine! Hey BLAINE!**Blaine**What are you DOING here, you idiot?[Larry stands up]**Larry**I'm jusht checkin' up on thingsh.
> Mr. Rich was ashkin' about progressh...**Blaine**Things are...progressing fine. I think she'll get it all done.
> Now get out of here! You're going to wake her up with all your yelling.**Larry**Jusht promishe me I'll get my share.**Blaine**Take it up with Mr. Rich. He's handling the money, not me.**Larry**Fine...jusht keep in touch.**Blaine**Go! Go on![Larry leaves and Blaine comes back in the house, while Lily watches the scene from the balcony]**Lily**...
