{100}{}{An old man. He makes a prune look fresh.} {101}{}{Farrel.} {102}{}{You hear the sound of dry twigs cracking every time he moves.} {150}{}{Hey, get away from there!} {151}{}{Stop that!} {152}{}{Thief!} {153}{}{I didn�t steal the watch, so stop coming over here and harassing poor old Farrel!} {154}{}{Cornelius says you stole his gold watch.} {155}{}{Where�d you get the money for the new tools?} {156}{}{What can you tell me about Modoc?} {157}{}{What do you do around here?} {158}{}{Watch? What are you talking about?} {159}{}{Now what!?} {162}{}{What are you hiding in the wall safe?} {165}{}{Can you take me to your garden?} {166}{}{I cleared out all the vermin from your garden.} {167}{}{You mentioned something about a watch earlier.} {168}{}{Is this the watch you were looking for?} {169}{}{All furries dead!} {170}{}{Gar � din?} {171}{}{Not again! How many people is Cornelius going to send over to look for his watch? I didn�t do it! In fact, I was probably the victim of the same thief. Around the same time his watch disappeared, some of my tools were stolen. I�m sure you don�t believe me, so you might as well have a look around, otherwise you�ll never go away. Well, go on!} {172}{}{I think I will have a look around.} {173}{}{Did Miria tell you that? I�ll have to spank her bottom for spreading rumors again! Look, I may be poor, but I have my pride. I helped one of the traders fix his wagon, and in return he gave me some tools.} {174}{}{Admit it - you�re guilty!} {175}{}{What proof do you have that what you say is true?} {176}{}{Do you expect me to believe that?} {177}{}{My honor alone is proof enough that my words are true. I can offer nothing more.} {178}{}{If you didn�t take it, then who do you think took it?} {179}{}{I suspect a thief passing through town took the watch, and has since moved on. Although I can�t for the life of me think of a reason he would want my old tools...} {180}{}{Do you expect me to believe that?} {181}{}{No, but since I know I didn�t do it, that�s the only theory I could come up with.} {182}{}{Can I ask you some more questions?} {183}{}{HA! If you think I�m so guilty, why don�t you just shoot me and get it over with. You little punk, come and get me!} {184}{}{How did you find it? I hid that safe so nobody would be able to find it. You must be a professional thief. Hmm� where were you when the gold watch disappeared? I think you�d better leave, and nothing better be missing from the safe or I�ll have Sheriff Jo on ya. Now get out!} {185}{}{Modoc is a small community of farmers and ranchers. We supply most of the food for the surrounding towns and cities by trading our crops for various essentials. It�s actually a very nice arrangement. However, this could all change with the drought. We can barely keep ourselves fed, let alone have surplus to trade.} {187}{}{Well, mostly I putter around in the garden, trying to make those damn plants grow without water. I can�t do that now because something big has moved in and I can�t seem to get rid of it. And to top it all off, nobody will help me because they think I stole Cornelius�s gold watch.} {188}{}{Well, mostly I putter around in the garden, trying to make those damn plants grow without water. But I can�t do that now because something big has moved in and I can�t seem to get rid of it. Without food from my garden, I�ll surly starve.} {189}{}{I can help you, for a price.} {190}{}{I�ll be happy to help.} {191}{}{Admit you stole the watch and I�ll help.} {193}{}{Look around! I�m just a poor old man. I can barely afford to keep myself fed, let alone reward you.} {194}{}{I�ll be glad to help you anyway.} {195}{}{Sorry, I can�t help you then.} {196}{}{That would be wonderful. I can�t thank you enough. My garden is little ways east of here. Come with me, I�ll show you.} {197}{}{Thank you! You are truly a hero amongst heroes. Not many people would risk their lives for a total stranger. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you� [You get this warm fuzzy feeling all the way down to your toes.]} {198}{}{Can I ask you a few more questions?} {199}{}{I�d rather starve than tarnish my good name! Go to hell!} {200}{}{Everybody is accusing me of stealing my best friend Cornelius�s gold pocket watch. Me and Cornelius have been friends as long as I can remember; I would never take his watch. I�ve searched everywhere hoping to find it so we can be friends again, but I�ve had no such luck.} {201}{}{I�ll be around for awhile. If I come across it, I�ll let you know.} {202}{}{That�s really too bad. Can I ask you some more questions?} {203}{}{Would you really? Nobody will help me because they think I stole the watch. It would be nice to have somebody on my side, for once. I�ve already questioned everyone about it, but it won�t hurt to ask everybody again. Maybe they�ll tell you something they wouldn�t tell me. It also won�t hurt to poke yer nose around Rose�s Bed and Breakfast; Cornelius is notorious for putting stuff down and forgetting where he put it a minute later.} {205}{}{Let me see that! Yes, this is it! You said a rat living down the sewage hole stole it? And you climbed down there and retrieved it? EWWW! I�m going to give this to Cornelius right now! Now we can be friends again. Thank you.} {206}{}{Ooga right back at ya. How would you like to do old Farrel a favor, my slope-foreheaded little friend? I have this little vermin problem in my garden. Make the little pests go away and I�ll give you a reward.} {207}{}{No, no, no� me no do.} {208}{}{Yep. I do.} {209}{}{Bye bye!} {210}{}{Then get out, you dimwitted cave dweller!} {211}{}{So good of you, my dear fellow. [He takes your hand and walks you to the garden.] Wouldn�t want you to get lost. Come back and see me when you finish killing the pests.} {212}{}{My dear, sweet, woman. You�re so kind to an old man. [He takes your hand and walks you to the garden.] Wouldn�t want you to get lost. Come back and see me when you finish killing the pests.} {213}{}{Fantastic! And here is your reward. [He digs in his pants and produces a half eaten cookie.] Now be a good little caveman and take your cookie outside and play.} {300}{}{I'm gonna kill that bastard.} {301}{}{I hate him...} {302}{}{Grrr...} {501}{}{I didn't steal yer stupid watch!} {502}{}{I'm innocent, I tell ya!} {503}{}{You couldn't hit the broadside of a barn!} {550}{}{He's not paying attention to what you're saying.} {600}{}{You have peacefully solved the feud between Farrel and Cornelius.}
