100 You see a peasant. |
101 You see Phil. |
102 It ain't my dog! |
103 Damn right, shoot that beast! |
104 I wouldn't trust that beast, if I was you. That thing is a killer. |
105 Mister, |
106 Ma'am, |
107 I would be really happy if you were to get rid of that damn dog. |
108 Why? |
109 Nah, I only deal with important stuff. |
110 Where did it come from? |
111 Hnnn. |
112 Mebbe you can talk it to death. |
113 It won't let us back into our house, that's why. |
114 Okay. |
115 Isn't it your dog? |
116 It was the 'pet' of a traveler. When the traveler died, this damn dog just plopped its furry ass down on my doorstep and wouldn't leave. It's been there for days. |
117 Oh. |
118 Who was this traveler? |
119 What did the traveler look like? |
120 I don't know. Some guy. He came from the east, he said. Like anyone could get past the deadlands to the east. He ran afoul of Gizmo, trying to interfere with Gizmo's business. |
121 So, Gizmo had a couple of boys beat him up and throw him from the casino roof. The traveler broke his damnfool neck and died. The dog was pissed. |
122 What did the traveler look like? |
123 Oh, the guy was tall, dark-haired with a little graying around the edges. He was dressed all in black leather, like that's a good idea in the desert, and carried a shotgun. |
124 He had some funny accent. The dog was his constant companion, followed him everywhere. |
125 Appreciate the gossip. |
126 I hate that dog. |
127 Thanks for your help. |
