Me	How are things going with you?
Bill	What's up? Did Henry send you here?
Bill	Tell him he'll get his planks as soon as I'm done.
Bill	If he can't wait that long, he's welcome to saw them himself.
Me	What are all these planks for?
Bill	We use them for the palisade, you dimwit.
Bill	Greg thought it would be a good idea to secure our camp this way.
Bill	We can save ourselves the work, if you ask me.
Bill	If the bandits are really planning to attack us, this ridiculous palisade isn't going to stop them.
Bill	We should never have tolerated them in our valley in the first place.
Bill	If I had known all this in advance, I'd have stayed in Khorinis.
Me	Can I help you saw?
Bill	Nah, I can handle this by myself.
Bill	I joined up here not long ago, and letting others do my work won't get me anywhere, if you get my drift.
Me	What are you doing now?
Bill	I'm taking a break.
Bill	(gloating) Francis got my old job.
Bill	Let him saw planks until his arms fall off.
Me	I'm looking for Angus and Hank.
Bill	(sighs) I've no idea where they are - the bandits must have got them.
Me	You were friends with them, weren't you?
Bill	All I know is that they were going to meet up with the bandits in a cave not far from here.
Bill	It must be somewhere outside of our camp, to the east.
Bill	I don't know where exactly. I've never been there myself.
Bill	Maybe you should ask Alligator Jack about this. He's always roaming around outside the camp.
Me	I found your friends.
Bill	And? Where are they?
Me	They're dead.
Bill	(hatefully) Those damned bandits did this!
Me	It's possible.
Bill	Those cursed swine. May they roast in hell.
Bill	(to himself, hatefully) If only I knew the name of the lowlife who did this ...
Me	I know who murdered Angus and Hank.
Bill	(excitedly) Who? Who did it?
Me	His name is Juan, he's one of the bandits.
Bill	You've got to do that bastard in, do you hear me?
Bill	He must not get away with this.
Me	Juan is history.
Bill	(eagerly) And? Did he suffer?
Me	Come off it, kid!
Bill	(sighs) Oh well. Just as long as you killed the swine.
Me	You've been to Khorinis?
Bill	Yes, I kept myself afloat there picking pockets and doing a little swindle or two.
Bill	But when ever fewer ships came in, business got worse and worse.
Bill	At some point, I got tired of being on the run from the militia for a few crusts of bread.
Bill	That's when I joined Greg. Now I'm stuck here.
Bill	(sighs) Sawing all day to build a palisade that's of no use to anyone.
Me	Can you teach me something?
Bill	Well, I could show you how to pick other people's pockets unnoticed.
Bill	But you should be fairly dexterous, or you can just forget it.
Me	Show me how to pick pockets.
Bill	First, you need to make your intended victim feel completely safe.
Bill	I used to walk up to people and chat to them. That worked like a charm.
Bill	Then you can take a snatch, but make sure they don't notice a thing.
Me	Anything else?
Bill	Yes, keep training your dexterity. The more dexterous you are, the more chances you'll recognize.
Bill	And the sooner you can relieve your victim of his stuff without getting CAUGHT!
Bill	That's all - in theory, at least.
Bill	Forget it! You're not nimble enough!
Bill	You'll have to become more dexterous first, or find a better teacher.
