Evan Redgrave. I’ve been assigned here by the Ministry of Distribution.
Pete FergusonRedgrave? Caleb’s kid?
You knew my father?
Pete FergusonOf course I did. He was... uh... my best friend!
Pete FergusonWhat are you doing here? What do you want? Yes? Speak.

Please tell me about this floor.
Pete FergusonDo I have nothing else to do?
How does the first floor manage to meet all the quotas? After all, the get bigger and bigger all the time, but the number of employees doesn't change.
Pete FergusonThe first floor? I'm the only one who does anything around here! I work my fingers to the bone while these layabouts lounge around in their booths!
The first floor is the foundation of the whole Ministry. And I will prove that they can't manage without me!
Manage what?
Pete FergusonNone of your business!

You sent for me, Comrade Ferguson?
Pete FergusonWho is it? Redgrave? You expect me to sit on my ass waiting all day? What took you so damn long?
I was...
Pete FergusonDid I say you could speak? Shut up and listen! I agreed to take you on board here because your father trusted me and asked me to help you out. Now it’s time to return the favor. Get the picture?
I don’t really understand what you’re...
Pete FergusonI’m sure you don’t! Your father was the sharp one, and I see that the apple of intelligence fell far from the tree in your case. So here’s the short version: you owe me.
How much?
Pete FergusonHeh, you catch on quick. You owe me for life! But to start, I want you to pretend to be a visitor to the Ministry. One of those bastards sitting in the hall has been stealing my money. Do you see?
Not really...
Pete FergusonAre you a complete idiot? I’m saying that one of those pricks in the hall is pocketing the money that the visitors give. You do know that all bribes have to be given over into the government revenue, don’t you?
Of course!
Pete FergusonAnd in your case, the government is me. And some rat is stealing from me. Our block-headed security guards can’t catch him, so I’ve come up with an ingenious operation that I call “Secret Visitor”. You’ve got a forgettable face, so you can pass for a common visitor. I want you to give him an envelope, and I’ll see if he gives me the money.
Responses
Agree
Understood, Comrade Ferguson! Is that all, sir?
Pete FergusonDid you really get all that on your first try? Get the fake money from my courier. There’ll be a guard waiting for you by the vending machine - he’ll fill you in on the rest. Report back as soon as you’re done. I don’t want to see you otherwise. Do you understand, Redgrave?
Completely, sir!
Pete FergusonThen that’s all. Get the hell out of here!
Refuse
I won’t spy on my colleagues... I’m not a scumbag like that.
Pete FergusonSo you’re saying that I am?! You just made your last mistake! Guards!
Permission to report in, Comrade Ferguson? I’ve completed your mission!
Pete FergusonExcellent. Now if this wiseguy doesn’t give me every last penny, he’s toast!
It’s a woman...
Pete FergusonGender has no bearing on professional character, Evan Redgrave!
You’ve shown me that you’re not a complete imbecile like the rest of them. Your next job is to go to the office, collect money and bring it back to me.
What money?
Pete FergusonHow slow can you be?! Government money, Redgrave! The money our moronic visitors give to our idiotic co-workers for the good of our great country.
Your colleagues already know how much they owe me. And if they forget, Rakovich will remind them.
Or what talking head has replaced her?
Responses
Agree
Alright, I’ll do it!
Pete FergusonThat’s the right answer. To the rear, march! And close the door behind you!
Refuse
You know, I don’t like this idea.
Pete FergusonIt’s an order, Redgrave. Or have you already forgotten what happened to Hemnitz?
Responses
Change your mind and agree
I haven’t forgotten. I’m sorry, I was wrong.
Pete FergusonThat’s more like it! Speak up like that again and there’ll be consequences.
Refuse
Hemnitz was an honest man, unlike you. I won’t collect your bribes, Ferguson!
Pete FergusonInsubordination! Dissidence! I’ll pulverize you! Guards!
About your task, boss...
Pete FergusonDid you get lost in the bathroom or something? Where’s my money? I mean, the state’s money.
Responses
Give the money
That’s all of it.
Pete FergusonGreat! I do love round numbers! Give it here and let’s talk.
Give fake money
That’s all of it.
Pete FergusonGreat! I do love round numbers! Give it here and let’s talk.
Say that you haven’t collected the money yet
I need a little more time.
Pete FergusonImbecile! I told you not to come back here without the money! You’re trying my patience, Redgrave! And you don’t want to see me in a bad mood!
Pete FergusonDo you think that we bosses have it easy, Redgrave? Not at all! That’s some small-minded thinking!
...
Pete FergusonDon’t look at me like that! We’re just people like you. Better than you, of course. But like you.
...
Pete FergusonAnd y’know, everyone needs to have a bit of fun sometimes. Nothing fancy - some wings, some hot dogs, the strongest moonshine you can get your hands on...
I’ve got enough “fancy” booze. Enough to get the whole Ministry good and merry. But I could do with something simpler, something more salt-of-the-earth...
...
Pete FergusonWhy are you just sitting there, looking at me like a schoolgirl admiring the Leader?! Is there something you’re not understanding? Your boss wants to have a good time! Make it happen!
Responses
Agree to organize party
Understood, Comrade Ferguson! As you wish!
Pete FergusonDamn straight. What are you still standing around for? Get out of my sight!
Refuse to organize party
But Comrade Ferguson! The Ministry’s by-laws prohibit drinking in the workplace. I could lose my job if anyone catches me.
Pete FergusonAnd you’ll definitely lose your job if you don’t follow my orders!
Responses
Change your mind and agree
My apologies. It’ll be done to the highest standard!
Pete FergusonGet a move on!
Refuse
I’m sorry, but I can’t break the law.
Pete FergusonI’ve had enough of you. Guards!
Pete FergusonRedgrave! Where have you been, damn it! Have you carried out my orders!
Yes, Comrade Ferguson! Everything’s ready. Only the best, the freshest and the least-fancy, just as you ordered!
Pete FergusonExcellent! And... find me a couple of girls, too. And make sure they’re... “open-minded”, let’s say...
What do you mean?
Pete FergusonYou need to have balance - you’ve got to relax your body as well as your mind! How about this: get one leggy blonde, a natural one, like one of those models from the House of Patriotic Fashion. And the other one - exactly the opposite. A nice chubby one, so there’s something to hold on to.
Almost ready, Comrade Ferguson.
Pete FergusonI’m losing my patience, Redgrave! It’s not complicated, you moron! Get a move on! Hop to it if you want to keep your job!
Comrade Ferguson...
Pete FergusonI know my own name, get to the point! Have you done what I asked?
C’mon, Redgrave! Have you got the girls? The party starts as soon as you have ‘em, heh-heh... To record the party, the video cameras need to be in place before it starts.
Responses
Yes
Yes sir! I’ve found a pair of beauties, just as requested! They can’t wait to meet you!
Pete FergusonWell they’re only human. This might just be their lucky day. I can be quite kind once I’ve eaten.
Everything is ready for the party - time to have fun! Are you ready to have fun, Redgrave?
Responses
Yes, let's light the dance floor up!
I was born ready, Comrade Ferguson.
No, I’d better get some sleep
I should go home and get some sleep. I have work tomorrow...
Pete FergusonYou’re so boring, Redgrave.
No
There have been some difficulties, Comrade Ferguson...
Pete FergusonI’m losing my patience, Redgrave! It’s not complicated, you moron! Get a move on! Hop to it if you want to keep your job!
Pete FergusonI cannot believe that I welcomed a traitor into my loving bosom! I’ll tear them apart when I find them!
What happened?
Pete FergusonSomeone took advantage of the fact that the cameras in my office were off, and broke into my safe! Do you know who cleaned me out?
Responses
Give up Peter Dong
It was Peter Dong.
Pete FergusonAre you sure? He was a certified idiot, but an honest one.
Absolutely. He’s capable of anything when it’s for his mother! Was capable... He even asked me to be his accomplice.
Pete FergusonThat little shit stain! Hiding from me in his grave!
Pete FergusonAre you sure? He’s a certified idiot, but an honest one.
I’m absolutely sure. He could do it for his mother. He even asked me to join him.
Pete FergusonHow dare he make a mockery of my safe! Of the Motherland! Of the Leader Himself! Does he think he’s invincible?
Admit to the robbery
It was me. But...
Pete FergusonI can’t believe you’re so stupid that you’d rat yourself out...
Is this a joke, Redgrave?
Responses
Convince him you’re innocent
I took the bonds so that you could make some money off of fines for their disappearance.
Pete FergusonIndeed... I’ve earned even more that the bonds were worth.
Great job! I admire your attitude.
Pete FergusonI’m not convinced.
Confess and give up the bonds
Here are your securities, I’ll explain everything...
Pete FergusonDon’t waste any more of my time.
Confess
It’s not a joke, I’ll explain everything...

Pete FergusonMy reports file won’t even close anymore, everyone’s blaming each other - the idiots! Everyone here has shit for brains... Shit for brains!
Pete FergusonWhy aren’t you working?
You called?
Pete FergusonAh, Redgrave! What the hell do you think you’re doing?! Trading in drugs right under my nose!
Selling stimulants was Legrand’s idea.
Pete FergusonThat dog thought he could fool me, Ferguson, and earn some cash!
I’d give that shit-eater the beating of his life. He should be glad that he got off so easily.
Pete FergusonLegrand told me everything! What do you have to say for yourself?
Responses
Convince him of the stimulants’ benefits
Stimulants increase productivity. Workers can meet their quotas in half a day!
Pete FergusonSo what do they do for the rest of the day? Layabouts!
But you can double the workload...
Pete FergusonSo they’ll work more for the same money? I admire your business acumen!
Selling stimulants was Legrand’s idea.
Pete FergusonThat dog thought he could fool me, Ferguson, and earn some cash!
Well that’s that! I’ll take over the drug business and throw Legrand under the bus!
Pete FergusonStop bullshitting me!
Prove that selling stimulants is profitable
Actually, it is very profitable! One hit costs as much as a wage bonus!
Pete FergusonAnd you didn’t turn the money over to the state?!
I didn’t have the time, Comrade Ferguson! I’d only just figured out that there’s a demand when Legrand blew the whistle. Even though it was his idea!
Pete FergusonIt’s good that there’s a demand. Very good. Fools need to be parted from their money!
I have 60 people in line for every job, so we have the resources...
It's decided! I’ll take control of the drug thing and get rid of Legrand!
Pete FergusonSo where is your “profit?”
Accept the blame
Pete FergusonRedgrave, you bastard, come here! I want to thank you!
Thank you, Comrade Ferguson! What for?
Pete FergusonNot what for, but who from, Redgrave! From our mutual friends.
I'm new here, Comrade Ferguson. I don’t have any friends in Helmer.
Pete FergusonYou're wrong, Redgrave! I’m talking about the friends that blew up the new wing of the Ministry today! That was quite a bang! Razed the whole thing to the ground!
Er... Comrade Ferguson... I... I had nothing to do with that...
Pete FergusonDon't mumble! I know everything! I'm Ferguson! Those friends have been helping me for years.
Helping you? With what?
Pete FergusonWith this, Redgrave! That wing will have to be rebuilt, right? Right! Will they need concrete and brick for it? Yes they will! And who is the Ministry’s sole supplier of bricks and concrete?
Who?
Pete Ferguson“Ferguson & Sons”! In other words - me!
So the explosion was your idea? How could you do something like that?! They told me that there’d be no one in the wing - there were dozens of victims!
Pete FergusonWatch your tongue! I wasn’t the one who came up with it, it was those New Tomorrow terrorists. So what if a couple of office rats died? No bid deal. There's a long line of them at the Ministry of Labor! This will reduce the unemployment rate.
But it’s... it’s...
Pete FergusonIt’s profitable, Redgrave. You’ll see that for yourself when you check your bank account. And if you whine about it or tell anyone, you’ll regret it. Now get back to work!
Comrade Ferguson, how did Operation “Secret Visitor” end?
Pete FergusonIt ended with nothing. I was wrong to suspect that woman - she brought enough money.
But that doesn't mean she isn’t guilty. I just don't know what to blame her for!
Pete FergusonWe caught the thief! We caught one rat and sent a message to the others!
Pete FergusonHave yourself a good time yesterday, Redgrave? I shudder to remember it! It was amazing!
Your father and I were friends, but he always avoided the pleasures of life. I think my friendship with his son will be a lot more fun, right, Evan?
Pete FergusonI didn't expect that from you, Redgrave! You spoiled my classy party with your stupid antics! Just like your father!
Do you have no imagination at all? Where's your passion, your expression, your thirst for adventure?
Well, there's nothing to do about that! Go work if you don't know how to have fun.
Pete FergusonRedgrave, where the hell were you? You missed all the fun!
The party was wild, but you’re such a goddamn bore! If you only knew how I... Hmm...
Anyway, get back to work and don't get distracted!
Comrade Ferguson, I have a recording of your party.
Pete FergusonSo what?
I think this is enough to get you fired from the Ministry...
Pete FergusonWHAT?!

Blackmail
I need money, Pete.
Pete FergusonHave you forgotten who you are, you little snot! Shit-eater! I will bury you! No one dares blackmail me! Security!
Give the recording
Here’s the cassette. You should get rid of it.
Pete FergusonI knew there was a reason why I liked you, Redgrave! I’ll watch this tape again on long winter evenings!
Threaten
Did I ask for your opinion? Shut up and listen! I need a promotion. Get it?
Pete FergusonI’ll tear you to pieces, you little shit! Security!
I wouldn’t call security just yet. Do you know James Cunningham? One wrong word and he gets to see this recording! You owe me.
Pete FergusonYou're learning fast!
I’d do the same if I were you, you cunning little shit-eater. I didn't spend my time on you for nothing. Now go away, you're giving me a headache.
Pete FergusonGlad to see you, Evan. I heard you got promoted. I hope you won't forget about your friend when you reach the very top.
Pete FergusonWhy are you here, Redgrave? I’m not your boss anymore. Go back to your own floor, and stop distracting me from my work.
I don't have time to talk about this.
