MEET
Hello. I'm Carl, the landlord.
Nice to meet you. Inga Birkenfeld. I work at the chemical lab.
My daughter, Gerda. She isn't working officially, but she does help me with my research.
What research?
Sorry, my work is classified.

TALK ABOUT GERDA
I want to ask you about your daughter…
Yes?
Responses
Is she OK?
You might have noticed she's different from other girls.
A bit?
Don't mind this, Carl. A child needs to do something with all of that energy.
How long has she been so patriotic?
You make it sound like it's a bad thing.
Oh, no. You have every reason to be proud of her.
TALK ABOUT GERDA
You tested your gas on her!
Do you think that was my idea?
I'm not happy about Gerda getting hurt, either. But then again, she's always been depressed and rather apathetic.
Oh, those nonstop love stories of hers, which always end a global tragedy!
Now I like her even better than before.
But that's immoral!
Now she's happy, and has goals in life.
Look who's talking about ethics. I believe your real job is far from being morally sustainable.

ASK ABOUT THE BOMB
Have you seen anything suspicious today?
No, I didn't notice anything. Why?
My job is to make sure the building is quiet.
In that case, I'll leave you to your work. Once again, I saw nothing suspicious.

THEY WANT TO KILL YOU
There are people who want to kill you. They put a bomb in the building, but I defused it.
I knew they found out about the gas. But I never thought I would become a target.
And my daughter's life, too!
Tell me about that gas!
Well, there's no point in trying to hide it now!
We make gas that allows our patients to feel no fear and make the right decisions.
What do you mean?
Where do I start, Carl? It's complicated...
Do you know the primary difference between maniacs - or should I say heroes - and regular people?
They don't know fear. Their neural system works differently. The signals enter cerebral cortex in a different way.
Or, to be more precise, not like yours.
I can't explain it. You wouldn't understand the terminology...
We can free regular people from fear, too. Trust me!
Life won't change, but there won't be any more fear. Isn't that paradise on Earth?
Are you serious?
Absolutely! Those emotions simply prevent people from working and doing patriotic duty.
What are you going to do next?
I had planned to move and was ready to do so. But it will only become possible next summer...
Will you help me escape, Carl? As long as I'm here, you'll keep having problems.
ASK ABOUT PLANS
Will you help me escape, Carl? As long as I'm here, you'll keep having problems.

HELP
I already have enough problems! I hope I won't regret my decision...
I promise I'll make up for everything as soon as I'm on the other side of the world... Kidding!
I need papers for my daughter and myself. Clean passports would be perfect. Do you have any?
Responses
GIVE THE PASSPORTS
You wouldn't believe this, but I've got it!
I wasn't even hoping for that. There's nothing else I need.
I'll be leaving in a few days.

Your presence is a threat to my family.
Leave at once!

I'll leave...
No way. I live here, and I'm not going anywhere.
Call the Ministry! Do something! It's your job!
REFUSE
I can't take that risk. These people might come after my family!
I understand. I would've refused, too.

DISCUSS HEALTH
Are you OK?
The cough? That's my bronchitis.

TRY TO POISON
I see you're coughing. Would you like some syrup?
No, I can go to the drugstore myself.
Responses

You're an important specialist. You can't get sick and take time off work!
Let me court the country, not you.

Okay, bring me your syrup.

TALK LATER
I'll bring it soon.
Your elaborate verbiage doesn't move me.
PAY A PERSONAL COMPLIMENT
You're a charming woman, Inga! If only I weren't married...
Are you insane, Carl? Get lost with that nonsense.

GIVE ARSENIC
I brought you some terrific cough syrup!
Thanks.
