“I assume they work their way to a backstage area…”
\n“Are you going to steal a belly dance costume and wear it?”
\n“I’m thinking about it!”<\/p>\n
“You are stopped by, basically, a wall of cheap suit.”<\/p>\n
“I’m here to inquire about a position.”
\n“Which position?”
\n“Which one would you like to try first?”<\/p>\n

“Um, I’m slightly more concerned about the fact that our party’s Egyptian is going to be limited to drink orders…”<\/p>\n
“The young lady who was speaking to Arthur…”
\n“Has now hired a hitman.”<\/p>\n
“I’m going to follow her and make sure that the master of the house is not immediately going to be killed in an alley.”<\/p>\n
“Have you seen any symbols that look like a large tongue?”
\n“Sir, would you like to give her an example?”
\n“Can we not?”<\/p>\n
“How the fuck did I fail?!”
\n“Well, you rolled really, really high…”<\/p>\n
“New moon, then?”
\n“No, I believe it’s the same moon we’ve had.”<\/p>\n
“The funny thing is, we’ve been assuming they rent a truck.”<\/p>\n
“Sir, I should point out… should you go into the private investigations business, you’ve gone about it all wrong. You’ve paid her to be your client.”<\/p>\n
“Were you the A team, you would now be the B team.”<\/p>\n
“Clandestine? Covert? Corn on the cob?”<\/p>\n
“You didn’t bring me pictures?”
\n“The camera broke.”<\/p>\n

“What, are you making a drink or speaking Egyptian?”
\n“Yes.”<\/p>\n
“I am wise enough to not continue to pick the pockets of bobbies while my master is in the same block.”
\n“That is an appropriate number of qualifiers on that sentence.”<\/p>\n
“Couples snogging are often hiding something. Quite often, salami.”<\/p>\n
“Done watching? Yes. Erased it from my brain indefinitely? Unfortunately not.”<\/p>\n
“How else would you recruit someone to join your cult?”
\n“Charm? Guile? Vodka?”<\/p>\n
“I don’t think Lovecraft would have appreciated Splinter. That’s all I’m saying.”<\/p>\n
“Cognac. White creme de menthe.”
\n“Watch your language, young lady.”<\/p>\n
“It’s a penis you actually want to put in your mouth!”<\/p>\n
“Is that actually how you wanted that to come out?”
\n“Well, he just wanted it to come out.”<\/p>\n
“I’m a military man…”
\n“You wake up when you smell the tea, sir, which I tell you is sunrise.”<\/p>\n
“Is he, like, a military man in the same way as Colonel Sanders?”<\/p>\n
“Are they offering a pound a body?”
\n“Yes.”
\n“We should let the body count go up to get more money.”<\/p>\n
“In other words, you bought a new car and the man to drive it.”<\/p>\n
“Well, I am in the center, here. I am the spearhead of the shit rolls.”<\/p>\n
“I was the most attractive person on the bar…”
\n“No, you had the biggest roll of cash in the bar.”<\/p>\n
“Some woman marked that you were rich, danced up against you until you gave her a bunch of money, and then she hired you to find her boyfriend.”<\/p>\n
“Here’s 20 pounds; I’ll go find out what’s wrong with your life.”<\/p>\n
“Did we have anything else that we needed to do today?”
\n“I was going to go shoe shopping…”
\n“Anything that needs to be role-played?”<\/p>\n
“So we need to find someone more pompous than Darryl and goad them into an argument, set up a betting ring, and that’s how we’ll fund our operations.”<\/p>\n
“You come off as serious investigators instead of idiots out wandering around.”
\n“No, we left them back at the hotel.”<\/p>\n
“I’m pretty sure zeal is a license to do whatever you want, at least in role-playing games.”<\/p>\n
“He’s your buddy and you can’t get his name straight?”<\/p>\n
“You can’t keep saying cognac.”
\n“Swizzle stick.”<\/p>\n
“You might realize you’re being interrogated; I think I’m being flirted with.”<\/p>\n
“Is our game really more ridiculous than real life? I ask you.”<\/p>\n
“Denethor?”
\n“What?”
\n“You said steward.”<\/p>\n
“Son of a bitch.”
\n“Sir, your language. You are in the public.”
\n“Ah. Yes. Fuck it all.”<\/p>\n
“So we go to his workplace. Where there are no penis cookies.”<\/p>\n
“When I die and go to hell and ask where it all went wrong, this is the moment they’ll point to.”<\/p>\n
“Sometimes he needs a new jacket.”
\n“More often than I should.”
\n“And whose fault is that?”
\n“Bystanders.”<\/p>\n
“Those poor people.”
\n“Are you talking about all the poor people that we’re not going to save?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
