“Did you just say that all the attacks were sciatic?”
“I don’t remember being in Hong Kong.”
“That’s because we didn’t bur anything down.”
“He’s gotta have a nicer bottle behind the bar, because what he gave me wasn’t.”
“I remember poo jokes.”
“Why am I not surprised.”
“So you’ve got a really pretty box. Can I see the pretty box?”
“We did take all the money out of it, right?”
“What’s funny is, you got a box full of coins, which is NOTHING compared to the 5 million British pounds you guys have, which is nothing compared to the worth of Alice’s family. Money should mean nothing in this game.”
“We should totally keep rising our lives for a handful of silver coins.”
“The bloated woman? She should have more salt in her diet. That would take care of the problem.”
“Chopped-up bits of Scottish fish. MacChum.”
“Give him the box and get him to tell us everything he knows. Just… read us your page in the book.”
“They’re in Chinese.”
“That’s ok. I can read Egyptian.”
“I don’t think we’re pumping people hard enough. We really have to get in there and just… ram it home.”
“I’m just here to knock things out and keep you people alive, sometimes in that order.”
“We have to burn down two things to make up for Hong Kong.”
“We’ll just have to burn down the whole concession.”
“So yes, I’m looking for more boom for my stick, as it were.”
“We’re looking at the Nyarlathotep in his guise of the Bloody Tongue.”
“No, we’re looking at the wolf on the other page.”
“But we can build you a necklace of hand grenades, right?”
“Were this D&D, sir, I would be neutral good.”
“Or set on fire, were you a neutral evil building.”
“I’d hate to see a werehouse – imagine the crinos on that thing!”
“Achievement unlocked: arrive before anyone has set anything on fire.”
“Apparently that does not include my pants.”
“Yeah, but then the person who steals the ledger isn’t here when we need the information.”
“I have a date later.”
“How is that different from every other city we’ve been in?”
“Might as well check the one that’s here while we’re here. Might be something to set on fire.”
“No, I’m just fun-sized!”
“Is this two dates for this evening?”
“Maybe.”
“Secondarily, no one here looks like a frog, right?”
“Scream once if you’re having a good time, twice if you need help.”
“What does three mean?”
“She needs help with her good time.”
“Or a stepstool.”
“It’s Jason’s fault, with his stupid custard machine.”
[Old jokes never die…]
“I’m not staying in the ship. Unless I’m already in the ship. In which case, dammit.”
“No, now I’m thinking about fermented eyeball fluid.”
“Doesn’t sound any worse than fermented goat milk.”
“No, it does.”
“Well, you should have known that as a ship made of junk, a kitchen sink would only heal it.”
