100 You see Saul, the boxer. |
101 You see a tough-looking, muscular man. |
102 He has muscles toughened by years of fighting, and a light-footed stance characteristic of a skilled boxer. |
103 Oh. Well, good luck. |
104 This isn't the time or place for weapons, friend. But if you care to try me sometime in the ring, feel free. |
105 What do you want? |
106 Yes? |
107 What do you do here? |
108 A tough guy, eh? I bet I could take you. |
109 My name's |
110 . Just taking a look around. |
111 [Saul laughs heartily.] Why, I am a boxer! |
112 Ah, I could kick your ass. |
113 Hmm. What's the deal? |
114 Uh, no thanks. |
115 Saul is unconscious. |
124 [Saul laughs heartily.] |
125 [Saul laughs threateningly.] |
126 All right. This should be quick. |
127 Put up or shut up. |
128 Well, you're in the right place if you're looking for someone to pound that ugly mug of yours into a better shape. |
129 I'm Saul. |
130 Uh, no thanks. Can I ask you some questions? |
131 So, you been living in Junktown long? |
132 Well, nice to meet ya. Later. |
133 Yes. |
134 I've been here all my life. Grew up here. |
135 What can you tell me about Junktown? |
136 How did you become a boxer? |
137 Hmm. Well, stranger, I work for Gizmo. He's the owner of that great casino there. Pays good money to fighters here, too! What else do you want to know? |
138 What is there to do here? |
139 Can you tell me a bit about Gizmo and that casino? |
140 Been boxing for a few years. |
141 I was always getting into scuffles with my brothers when I grew up. One time a small band of raiders attacked Junktown, and I beat one into submission before he could get his gun on me. Just luck, really, but Gizmo was sponsoring organized fights, and I needed some money. Been boxing ever since. |
142 What happened to your brothers? |
143 So what is there to do in this town? |
144 Can you tell me about your boss? |
145 If you are just looking for supplies, you should try Killian Darkwater's store, off southeast of here. You can also get a night's sleep at the Crash House near here. If you are planning to stay a while, you might want to get a drink over at the Skum Pitt, but watch out for the Skulz. |
146 Who're the Skulz? |
147 So, tell me more about the casino. |
148 Gizmo's casino is where everybody goes to gamble. There are many games and you can have a great time! It's the best place this side of the Hub! |
149 What else is there to do around here? |
150 My brother James was killed in a raider attack a few years ago. Shortly after that, my other brother, Darrell, gathered together some things and set off south towards a mythical place called the Glow, in search of the treasure of the ancients, or something like that. He never came back. |
151 Why do you stay in Junktown? |
152 Uh, can we change the subject? |
153 I'm sorry to hear of your loss. |
154 What do you know about this legendary place, the Glow? |
155 Thank you. It's been a few years, but I still don't like to talk about it much. |
156 So, can I ask you some questions? |
157 I live here. I like boxing, I have a good life with Trish, and I have no desire to go elsewhere. |
158 Oh. Well, that's good. Mind if we change the subject? |
159 Yes, I've met Trish. |
160 Well, what? |
161 What can I help you with? |
162 What is there to do here? |
163 Can you tell me a little about your boss? |
164 [You pat your weapon] I'd like you to meet my little friend. |
165 Thanks for chatting. See you around. |
166 The Skulz are a bad bunch who hang out in the back of the Crash House and at the Skum Pitt. Watch out for them; they like playing with knives. |
167 Thanks for the tip. I'll watch my step. |
168 I see. Anything else you can tell me about? |
169 Well, be sure to keep your hands off, eh? |
170 She's very important to me. |
171 [Saul frowns.] But she doesn't like my boxing. She doesn't seem to understand that it's what I want to do. |
172 She's concerned for your welfare. She probably can't stand to see you getting beaten up and risking your life for Gizmo. If you don't find a compromise, you could lose her. |
173 I think she's worried about you. |
174 So, shall we talk about something else? |
175 Well, see you later. |
176 I never thought of it that way. I figured that she just didn't like boxing. I suppose I will have to talk to her more about this. Thanks. |
177 Ah, she just doesn't like boxing, is all. |
178 Well, can we talk about something else? |
179 See you around. |
180 You again. What now? |
181 Hello again. |
182 I'm here to teach you some manners. |
183 I need to talk to you about Trish. |
184 Can you tell me about Junktown? |
185 From what I've heard, the Glow is a great crater that glows at night. It's supposed to be far, far to the south, but I don't know where. Stories say that it's inhabited by all sorts of mutant freaks who guard the technology from before the War. |
186 I see. Thanks for the info. |
187 Interesting. Can you give me any more info? |
