TALK ABOUT WORK
I don't like your new job, father!
Your boss is nasty!
Do you like eating good food and studying at the university?
Wear new clothes?
Maybe you'll support us then?
I'll never take... I'll try to find a job! I'll study and work at the same time!
I hope so!
I hate the mines, father! I'd rather die than work as a slave!

TALK ABOUT AIREL JOHNSON
This general is a big shot.
I keep getting insanely high bills and am having to pay for all of his extravagances!
He's won tons of awards and has a bold moustache? I hope he burns in hell with the rest of those government freaks!
They grow fat at the expense of other people!
Patrick! Don't ever say that again!
Father! Look at what you've become! You're just like them!

Yes. He's a chemistry major. He was banned for anti-state behavior.

He's a fool. What would you expect?
TALK ABOUT MARTHA'S DEATH
Patrick, your sister died... Martha passed away...
Oh, no! My poor sister! How can we live without her? How is this even possible?! I...
I don't know what to say, son. We couldn't save Martha. I couldn't...
I can't talk right now... It's too hard...
TALK ABOUT ANNA'S DEATH
Your mother died, Patrick.
What?! How is that possible?! Mom?! No!!!
Hold on, son. Perhaps she's better off wherever she is now...
Anywhere is better than here!
Mom... It can't be... Mom...

ABOUT STUDYING AT THE UNIVERSITY

LEARN WHAT HAPPENED
I need to talk with you, father.
What happened?
I met a nice girl and want to ask her out.
The first night of the Lights of Hope will take place in a couple of days.
Actors from the capital arrived, too.
Wait. Who's that girl?
Andrea Gorchik. She's beautiful and smart.
She likes going to the theatre. I heard she wants to go to opening night. This is my chance, father!
I don't have enough money for the tickets.
How much?
$550
This is big money.

GIVE HIM THE MONEY
The theatre is a lovely place, son. Here's the money.
Money-550
Thanks, father! You're the best!
Responses
Pay $20 for flowers.
Take some change for flowers.
Money-20
Don't forget to wash up before your date. One shouldn't go to the theatre with a dirty neck!
Don't tell mom, or she'll pour an entire bottle of cologne on me. You know her!
Give good advice
Find time to go to the library. Look for the capital newspapers file for the last week.
Read what educated people have written about this play.
If you want to impress your new friend...
Or you'll learn nothing...
Thanks, dad!
I don't have any money now.
I know it's important to you, but I can't help right now.
Wait for a couple of days. Perhaps the situation will change...
OK, father.
REFUSE
Going to the theatre is pointless! Invite her to walk along the river and buy her something sweet.
Cranberry and sugar used to be sold on a tray near the first pier.
Your mother liked it!
What cranberries are you talking about, father?
You don't understand anything...

ASK ABOUT THE GLASSES
I realized my mistake and gave you those damned glasses!
What did you do with Ranek's glasses, Patrick?
I haven't done anything.
I know they were found under the table in the kitchen. Give them back at once!
Until the old man called the police and accused us of robbery.
Okay. Here it is.
I didn't know the old man would make a scene about this. I wanted to give them back! Honest!
I wear them at the university to look older and smarter.
I didn't know the old man would make a scene about this. I wanted to give them back! Honest!
Are you trying to look older, or smarter? Use your brain instead of a pair of glasses! Now get out of here!
Have you seen the glasses that belong to the old man that lives on the second floor, Patrick?
No. Sorry, I have to go.
DO YOU NEED ANYTHING?
I have an issue, father.
What do you want?
Economics classes have started, and we were given a list of books to read.
The books I need for school.
I stopped by the book store, and they don't have these books. I heard I could get used ones at the market, but they cost a fortune!
Can you ask your friends? Perhaps someone you know has these books.
You talk to wise people...
I'm thinking about what I can do for you.

Wow! I'll get to work!
I've never even dreamed of such wealth... I might not go to the rats' nest after all!
To the library, I mean.
I haven't found anything yet. Are you sure you don't want to go to the library?
I really don't want to go there! The woman who works there is nasty to people. She hisses at everyone.
It seems she doesn't like me. I've been waiting for my book for two hours, and it was on the shelf all this time. I saw it!

ASK ABOUT THE BANNERS
Patrick! What have you done?
What happened?
How could you put up this banner in our building? Do you realize I have to turn you in to the Ministry of Order now?
You'll be in jail for the rest of your life!
I don't care! I hate our government and its stupid directives!
People must be free. The revolutionists will eventually take over!
You're leaving me with no choice, son. Come to your senses! Your juvenile brain won't let you see the whole picture.
And what don't I see? You churning out reports on people?
Or maybe peeping through keyholes? Is that the job you want me to get after I graduate?
Do you understand the position you put me in? What should I do now?!
Leave me alone, ministry lap-dog! Do what you must.
TELL ABOUT THE REPORT
Don't worry. The Ministry won't touch you.
But you should come to your senses and stop that rebellious nonsense.
What have you done?
I did what I had to do to protect my son.
You turned in someone else instead?! You're a scumbag!
How could you do this?! And you want me to be grateful?
I hate you!

Are you in trouble at the university, son?
Yes, dad, the dean has ordered us to take part in another fundraiser. It's a lot of money, and I have no idea where to get it...
How much?
$…The amount depends on your playthrough.
WHAT?!! Are they crazy? Our people don't have that kind of money!
If things continue to go like this, we'll have no one left to teach...
...
Though perhaps that's the intent...
We'll see what we can do. Worst case scenario, you'll get a job. The country needs miners.
Very funny, dad. Thanks a lot...
Martha is sick, Patrick. We need a lot of money to save her.
And who knows how long it will take?
A time might come when we need more and more money.
I understand, dad.
That's a lot of money, son, and it won't be easy to come by.
I'll try.

I'll never have that much money! This education isn't worth it.

Hi, dad. We need to talk. I'm thinking of leaving the country with my girlfriend.
Wow! Who is she?! Why do you need to leave the country?
Is she pregnant? Do you realize it's hard to leave the country at the moment?
Hold on, dad. I don't even know where to start.
Her name is Andrea Gorchik.
Why are you telling me only now?
You never asked, I never said. She's a professor's daughter.
And what's the reason for the sudden departure?
Are you in trouble with the law?
Her father… He's been stalked for years. And he's innocent. I swear!
They found out something threatening has been uncovered.
That means he's a criminal!
He has nothing to do with this, dad. I swear! His enemies have been filing false complaints about him for years!
Her family needs to leave ASAP. And I should go with them! She means the world to me!
I love her!
Aren't you too young to make decisions that could change your whole life?
Every teenage love lasts forever.
Dad! You met mom when you were only a year older than me!
Yes! And we dated for three years before getting married!
Oh... You'll break your mother's heart if you leave…
How much do you need? We still need money to cure Martha, you know.
I need $……The amount depends on your playthrough.
$…?! Do I look like the Minister of Finance to you? Where am I supposed to get that kind of money?The amount depends on your playthrough.
Print? $…! I hadn't even seen that much money at your age!The amount depends on your playthrough.
I've never even seen that much money at one time!
Dad, I don't want to cause you any trouble... If you can't find the money...
I don't know what I'm going to do... What should I do?
Okay, let's deal with the issues in the order of their appearance. How much time do I have?
Two days - or they'll leave without me.
And I'll never see my love again.
Geez! OK... I need time to think.

I can't give you any money. I simply don't have that much, and most likely never will.

And where are you going?
One of my coworkers told me they need my profile experts in North Borea.
The same profile I had at the university. I'll be able to graduate and get a good job there.
North? Are you sure it's not South Borea?
Isn't it the same?
Poor little miner... Too bad they didn't teach you geography at the university…
North and South Borea are two different planets.
