Me | Back at work? | |
Finn | Yeah, now I'm getting the very last piece of gold out of this mine. | |
Me | Hi! | |
Finn | (grumpily) What do you want? | |
Me | Where do I get a pickaxe? | |
Finn | Go to Huno the smith. But even if you have a pick, that doesn't mean that you can get into the mine. | |
Finn | If you want to get in, you have to talk to Esteban. | |
Finn | Don't even bother going to Thorus - he'll only let you in if you have a red stone. | |
Me | Tell me, what do you think of Esteban? | |
Finn | (carefully) He's the boss here... he's... all right, I think. | |
Finn | (hesitantly) He always lets the good boys into the mine. The ones who know something about mining, I mean. | |
Me | And you know something about mining? | |
Finn | I'm the best! | |
Finn | Sure thing, boss. You want to see the best in the mine? Then I'll get back to it... | |
Finn | Oh, something else. I'll let you in on a digger's secret. | |
Finn | Now and then it's a good idea to give it a really good whack. | |
Finn | If you've hacked a couple of times and nothing has come out, then drag the point of the pick sideways across the rock. | |
Finn | With a little luck, you'll get several chunks at once that way. | |
Finn | Well, there's something you should know. Gold isn't ore. There's one damn important difference. | |
Finn | I mean, what woman would hang a chain of ore around her neck? (laughs) | |
Finn | When picking, work from top to bottom. You can work the nuggets loose best that way. | |
Finn | There are also diggers who do it the other way around - but that's far more difficult. | |
Me | Can you judge my gold-digging abilities? | |
Finn | Sure. I've been at this for over 35 years. There's nothing I can't assess! | |
Finn | For you, I'd say you're... | |
Finn | an absolute beginner. | |
Finn | a quite passable scraper. | |
Finn | an experienced gold scraper. | |
Finn | a genuine digger. | |
Finn | a damned good digger. | |
Finn | a master digger. | |
Finn | a guru among diggers. | |
Finn | So now you're as good as I am. Congratulations, partner. | |
Finn | (warily) Yes? | |
Me | Do you have any idea who's behind this? | |
Finn | Why do you want to know? | |
Finn | (narrating) When the attack took place, I was trying to get my pickaxe from Huno the smith. | |
Finn | But he wasn't there. | |
Me | And? | |
Finn | Usually, he's ALWAYS there. VERY suspicious if you ask me. | |
Me | Esteban wants to see him dead! | |
Finn | Oh! You work for the boss? | |
Finn | Then I'll tell you what I know. | |
Me | I want to talk to the guy... | |
Finn | (warily) So? And what do you want from him. | |
Me | I want to bump off Esteban and I'm looking for an ally! | |
Finn | I won't have anything to do with that! | |
Me | I have some interesting information for him! | |
Finn | You're in cahoots with the guy who ordered it, aren't you? | |
Me | Absolutely not! | |
Finn | (appraisingly) Good! I'll tell you what I know. | |
Me | That's none of your business! | |
Finn | So? Well, then I don't know anything about the business. | |
Me | About the attack again... | |
Finn | I already told you everything I know. | |
Finn | Just leave me alone with that crap! | |
Me | (appraisingly) Okay... | |
Me | Then tell me again! | |
