SAUL.MSG

{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.} {116}{}{} {117}{}{} {118}{}{} {119}{}{} {120}{}{} {121}{}{} {122}{}{} {123}{}{} {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?} {188}{}{That'll be tough with no head, palooka.}
