| Butler: It is over. They are gone. All of them! | |
| Blood: And we didn't even have to dress up like ghosts to do it. | |
| Butler: Your methods are definitely more effective than mine. | |
| Buns: Don't feel bad. We are professionals. | |
| Raider: That's because we train hard and fight like a team! | |
| Thor: If you're interested, I can give you a ten point plan to unlock your maximum potential. | |
| Butler: Maybe with people like you around, those bandits won't bother with an old man in a haunted house... And I can turn it into a home again. Here, I won't be needing these anymore. | |
| [Keyword: Greeting] | |
| Butler: Welcome to <em>Butler's Haunt</em>. You like it? It seems a fitting name for the place these days. | |
| [Keyword: What will you do now?] | |
| Butler: I will try to fix this place up. I still hope the master of the house, <em>Mr. Ditch</em>, will return one day. It is silly, I know, but it would be nice to see him again. | |
| Kalyna: That isn't silly at all! I believe hope is the most powerful magic in the world. | |
| Thor: Not silly at all, my friend! The power of hope is crucial in focusing your mind and manifesting a better tomorrow. | |
| MD: I'm sure you'll see him again! I mean, probably. | |
| [Keyword: What about the treasure they mentioned?] | |
| Butler: It is not mine to give!... | |
| Larry: Man, I knew it! There IS a treasure! | |
| Nails: Well, then it ain't yours to keep, either. Got it? | |
| Kalyna: There's treasure?! How exciting! Is it guarded by a gnome with a bunch of riddles? | |
| Butler: ...That is, there is some <em>money</em> hidden in the mansion. But it belongs to <em>Mr. Ditch</em> and as long as there is a chance he is still alive, I would rather die than betray his trust. | |
| Blood: Oh come on. If the scuzzball doesn't give a shit about his bloody colonizer money, then why should you care? | |
| Nails: That can be arranged. | |
| Barry: Such loyalty is admirable. | |
| Butler: Since he didn't come to take back his money, I fear he may be in trouble. Please help me find him! I'm sure he will reward you, he is a generous man. | |
| [Keyword: What about the treasure?] | |
| Butler: I guess you should ask <em>Mr. Ditch</em> about it. I have kept his money safe for so long - now that I know he's alive, I can't just give it away without his permission. | |
| [Keyword: Tell us about Mr. Ditch] | |
| Butler: He was a director in some big <em>foreign corporation</em>. I think they had some interest in mining, but that's all I know. He never talked of his job. I think he hated it. | |
| Raven: A corporation with some interest in mining? I wonder... | |
| Buns: Something about all that sounds very familiar. | |
| DrQ: Ten years ago? Hmmm... | |
| Butler: He was away from home when the civil war broke out... Maybe for the best. They would have tortured and killed him for his money, as they did with the servants. | |
| Blood: It's all clear - when the shit hit the fan, your man just ran away and left you guys to deal with it. | |
| Reaper: Sounds like Death was very busy that day. | |
| Sidney: Dreadful tragedy. Dreadful. | |
| Butler: It has been ten years since. He may be dead, but I wish I could find him, or at least learn where he is buried. | |
| [Keyword: Read this Maquis Manifesto] | |
| Butler: Oh, thanks. I'll put this to work kindling the fire in the stove. Got any more? | |
| [Keyword: Mr. Ditch is dead] | |
| Butler: Is he? You... you are sure? | |
| Magic: That's our job, man. We have a list - just like Santa. Your Mr. Ditch was one of the nice boys, but we were there a bit too late to help him. | |
| Butler: You... you saw him die? Did he say something about the mansion? Or... about me? | |
| Magic: Oh, yeah. He said: "I wonder if Mister Luthando is still kickin' it? That dude was like my brother! I miss him!" And then he, like... He died. | |
| Butler: He remembered me! Poor Mr. Ditch! | |
| Livewire: Ooo... Yes. Certain. Absolutely. You know, I saw those thugs kill him before they came here. | |
| Butler: They killed him?! | |
| Livewire: You've got to believe me, especially considering that they are permanently incapable of arguing against the truth of what I am saying. | |
| Butler: I trust you - after all, you saved me. | |
| Fox: I'm sorry. Ummm, yes, he's definitely dead. Stiff as a board. Those cutthroats got him earlier. Actually, that's why we came here - to avenge him. | |
| Butler: Oh... Thank you! | |
| Butler: I guess I don't need to guard this treasure anymore. You helped me and you were with Mr. Ditch on his deathbed. I suppose he would like you to have the <em>money</em>. | |
| [Keyword: Mr. Ditch is alive!] | |
| Butler: Is he? That is the best news I have heard in ten years! Please, tell me his address. I will go see him at once! | |
| Buns: Not much of an address - he is living in solitude as a hermit. | |
| Mouse: Okay... Better write this down. He is at One Mushroom Place on One Jungle Way. | |
| Wolf: Better pack a lunch. Got hiking boots? | |
| [Keyword: Mr. Ditch is alive... We lied to you] | |
| Butler: But... You told me... Oh, I understand, it was all about the money, wasn't it? I hope he won't be angry at me for losing his fortune. | |
| Raider: I don't think he cares about money anymore. | |
| Ice: Trust me, brother man, your friend ain't got no need for cheddar. | |
| Grizzly: He spends his days tripping balls in the jungle. I don't think he's worried about cash. | |
| Butler: Anyway, I'm glad he is alive. This is the best news I've heard in ten years. | |
| [Keyword: Goodbye] | |
| Butler: Goodbye. Don't let the past haunt you. | |
| [Keyword: Goodbye] | |
| Butler: I'm going to see Mr. Ditch. I hope he will accept me back as a servant or... just as a friend. Farewell, mercenaires. |
