Esteban | So you're the fellow who fought his way into camp. | |
Me | That got around fast... | |
Esteban | Franco was a tough nut. No one messed with him. No one - except you. | |
Esteban | Just to make it clear, if you try the same shit with me, I'll kill you. | |
Me | I want into the mine! | |
Esteban | (grins) Of course you do. Then you're in the right place with me. | |
Esteban | Because everyone who digs in the mine gets to keep a hefty share of the gold. | |
Esteban | And I hand out the red stones you need, so that Thorus will let you in. | |
Me | Give me one of those red stones. | |
Esteban | Okay, but they aren't free. | |
Esteban | Normally, I demand a share of the gold the boys get for digging. | |
Esteban | (appraisingly) How much do you know about mining gold, hm? | |
Esteban | You've probably learned a few tricks, right? | |
Esteban | You don't appear to know a whole lot about it... | |
Esteban | (snidely) If I give you a red stone, it won't be because you're such a great digger. | |
Esteban | No, I have another job for you... | |
Me | What sort of job? | |
Esteban | One of the bandits planned to kill me. But instead, my guards killed HIM. | |
Me | He was hot for your job, huh? | |
Esteban | He was an idiot! A thug without a brain. He never would have got the idea to attack me on his own. | |
Esteban | No, he was only fulfilling a contract - someone else sent him... | |
Me | So I'm supposed to find out who was behind it. | |
Esteban | Whoever sent me this assassin will pay for it. Find him - and I'll let you into the mine. | |
Me | Senyan sent me to you about this business. | |
Esteban | Senyan? He also works for me. I told him he should keep his eyes open. | |
Me | How should I go about it? | |
Esteban | Everyone here in the camp knows about it. So you're playing with all your cards on the table. | |
Esteban | Try to find out who is on my side and who isn't and don't let the boys make a fool of you! | |
Esteban | Talk to Snaf. That fat cook picks up a lot. | |
Me | I need better armor. | |
Esteban | Why? You already have some. That's good enough for you for now! | |
Esteban | If you complete your assignement, we'll talk about it again... | |
Me | About the assignment... | |
Esteban | Listen, I have other things I have to take care of. | |
Me | I thought you might be interested in knowing who was behind the attack... | |
Esteban | Who is it? Tell me his name so my guards can wring his neck... | |
Me | The trader Fisk is behind it. At the moment, he's sitting in the bar unsuspecting and drinking... | |
Esteban | HA! Well done, kid. My guards will take care of him. | |
Esteban | You heard him, boys. Go get Fisk. | |
Esteban | Come back when you've found out who the guy is. | |
Me | And what happens next? | |
Esteban | What happens next? I'll tell you what happens. | |
Esteban | Fisk will die a painful death. And everyone in the camp will find out about it. | |
Esteban | That will be a warning to all of them. | |
Me | Do I get a red stone now? | |
Esteban | You did your job well. Someone like you has no business in the mine. | |
Esteban | I can use you much better out here. You will stay in the camp and continue working for me. | |
Me | I'll think about it. | |
Esteban | You're forgetting who you're talking to. I'm in charge here and you will do exactly what I say. | |
Esteban | And I say, you will work for me and no one else. Is that clear? | |
Me | Are you trying to play me for a fool? There was never a question of me working for you. | |
Esteban | It isn't everyone who gets an offer like this. But if you don't want it, you're free to leave the camp... | |
Me | How about if you keep your word and give me a red stone? | |
Esteban | Hey - one more word and my guards will have to hurt you, too. | |
Me | (grins) What guards...? | |
Esteban | What...? Ah, I see... you're trying to pull a fast one, just wait... | |
Me | Give me the stone NOW or I'll get it myself! | |
Esteban | Oh, you've got a death wish. All right, I'll do you a favor and put you out of your stupidity! | |
