{{dialoguefile Dialogue for Ferndown, replacement Caravan driver for Ben Wade in the Redding mining camp {100}{}{You see a nervous-looking fellow in a jumpsuit.} {101}{}{You see Ferndown, the Vault City merchant agent.} {102}{}{You see a frail and edgy-looking fellow in a dirty vaultsuit.} {103}{}{I'm afraid that we can't pay you for abandoning the caravan. I'm sure that's what got Ben killed.} {104}{}{Did you really think that I'd reward a thief? You're lucky that you weren't lynched on the trail. I won't pay you anything. Now get out.} {105}{}{A thief? I resemble that remark, you damn ingrate! I'm leaving. Goodbye.} {106}{}{Someday soon, you'll regret crossing me. Goodbye.} {107}{}{Your caravan had so many losses that I can't think you really did your job. We can't reward that kind of failure.} {108}{}{You cheap bastard! You'll pay for stiffing me. Goodbye.} {109}{}{Well, sometimes you just get luckier than others. This was one of the unlucky times. Goodbye.} {110}{}{We didn't quite lose everything on the caravan, but we lost more we can afford. If you'd done your job right, you'd be getting more than this $500.} {111}{}{Well, something is better than nothing, I guess. Goodbye.} {112}{}{You lousy bastard. Nobody could have done a better job. You'll regret stiffing me. Goodbye.} {113}{}{That wasn't too bad at all. Here's your $1000. It'll be a while before we get another caravan master, so I don't know when we'll be travelling again.} {114}{}{I don't think I ever want to spend so much time looking at the ass-end of a brahmin again. Goodbye.} {115}{}{That wasn't too bad at all. See you later. Goodbye.} {116}{}{That was a good run. Might not have worked out that way if you weren't along. Here's your $100, plus a $50 bonus for the great job. Thanks again. If only Ben had lived to see it.} {117}{}{Nice to find someone who appreciates quality when he sees it. See you around, maybe. Goodbye.} {118}{}{Always glad to make some extra money. Thanks, and goodbye.} {119}{}{I can't believe that Ben took an idiot like you in. Well, I suppose that was his last work of charity. You were lucky to have survived. Goodbye.} {120}{}{Ook?} {121}{}{I'm sorry to lose Ben Wade. He was a good man and a hard one to replace. My name's Ferndown, and I'll take care of what we owe you.} {122}{}{Uh, thanks.}
