Oh, I don't sell things, mister. I sell {emph} thoughts. {emphasis on "things" and "thoughts"}

188ClayJunk
|
You don't sell that junk behind you?
|
Neutral 50
|
That's not junk. That's other people's thoughts. People had to think to make them, and the thoughts got stuck inside.
|

|
Neutral 50
|
I need other people's thoughts to fill my head when I'm not thinking myself. Otherwise it's... kind of empty.

188ClayMedicineBuy
|
I might be interested in buying your "headache medicine." How much?
|
Neutral 50
|
Thinking hurts you, too? Aw, I wish I could let you have the one on my head but I can't. It hurts real bad when I don't wear it.
|

|
188ClayMedicineWhatIsIt
|
What is your "medicine" and how do you take it off?
|
Neutral 50
|
This thing on my head is headache medicine. It works real good, except I can't think when it's on. {emphasize} Really think, I mean.

188ClayParentsWhere 188ClayParents
|
Where are your parents, kid? Are you here all alone?
|
Neutral 50
|
I don't have a mama or papa anymore. I see them sometimes when I take off my medicine, but they can't stay. I'm pretty used to being on my own.

188ClayPayForThoughts
|
I'll pay 100 caps to hear your thoughts.
|
Neutral 50
|
Great! What do you want me to think about? I can think about You, Here... or Everywhere. What do you want?
|
8
|
Here's another 100 caps. I want to hear your thoughts again.
|
Neutral 50
|
Sure, I could do some more thinking. What should I do my thinking about this time?
|
9
|
Sounds interesting... I don't have 100 caps, though.
|
Neutral 50
|
That's all right, mister. You will someday.
|

|
Sounds interesting... I don't have 100 caps, though.
|
Neutral 50
|
That's all right, ma'am. You will someday.
|

|
Any more thoughts I can pay you for?
|
Neutral 50
|
Sorry, sir. All that thinking has made my head hurt. I don't think I'll be doing any thinking for a long time.

Sorry, ma'am. All that thinking has made my head hurt. I don't think I'll be doing any thinking for a long time.

188ClaySellThoughts
|
You sell *thoughts?*
|
Neutral 50
|
I can take off my medicine and do some thinking. People say it's real interesting. I don't know, {'cause} because I never hear it.
|
14
|
Neutral 50
|
Some people say that it's a gift. Other people say that it's the kind of thinking anyone could do if they watched more than they talked.
|
15
|
Neutral 50
|
I don't know which is true. I see a lot, I think a lot. There's a lot to hear through the 188, too, that maybe accounts for the thinking.
|

Do your thinking about "Everywhere."
|
Neutral 50
|
Let me take off my medicine...
|
17
|
Neutral 50
|
Bull and Bear over the Dam, at each other's throats... but a light from Vegas? Ball spinning on the wheel, more than two at the table, placing bets. {Spoken in an eerie whisper, prophetic, like Clay's telling a fortune. He's really not, he's just compiling a bunch of images.}
|

Neutral 50
|
All lose in different ways, a dam of corpses, towns of corpses, scattered across the sand. But whose, in what shares? Even the dealer doesn't know. {Spoken in an eerie whisper, prophetic, like Clay's telling a fortune. He's really not, he's just compiling a bunch of images.}

Forecast: A rain of blood will flood the desert and not purify it.

Neutral 50
|
Bleh. Thinking about Everywhere always makes me feel a little sick...
|
21
|
188ClayThoughtsChangeMind
|
On second thought... maybe another time.
|
Neutral 50
|
I thought you'd say that.
|

188ClayThoughtsHow
|
How do you know these things?
|
Neutral 50
|
Oh, I don't know anything, mister. I just think it, and then I don't.
|
23
|
How do you know these things?
|
Neutral 50
|
Oh, I don't know anything, ma'am. I just think it, and then I don't.
|

|
Do your thinking about me.
|
Neutral 50
|
Okay. Let me take off my medicine...
|

{A little slower, more thoughtful} Your face does the thinking - two to the skull, yet one gets up. Odds are against you... but they're just numbers after the two-to-one.
|
26
|
Neutral 50
|
You're playing the hand you've been dealt, but you don't let it rest, you shuffle and stack, and a gamble... a gamble that may pay off? {Frowns} But how?
|
27
|
Neutral 50
|
Forecast: Rapidly changing conditions.
|
28
|
Neutral 50
|
{Frowns, resumes normal voice} A lot of thinking - most of it in your face, it's almost shouting at me. {Beat, slight apology} Sorry if I said anything weird.
|

Do your thinking about "Here."
|
Neutral 50
|
I need to take off my medicine...
|

|
Neutral 50
|
Local, local, the here and now... little of interest... things to buy, false hopes, and regrets watered down, washed down in dirty glasses. {Spoken in an eerie whisper, a little sing-song this time, prophetic, like Clay's telling a fortune. He's really not, he's just compiling a bunch of i}
|

|
Neutral 50
|
With regret comes a girl... smiling sad, brown robe, name Veronica, half here. Wraps her and her heart up like a pack, in the pack, a key, some say. {Spoken in an eerie whisper, prophetic, like Clay's telling a fortune. He's really not, he's just compiling a bunch of images.}
|

|
Neutral 50
|
{Slight upbeat at the end, different than the eeriness} Forecast: Cloudy, with a chance of friendship. {Spoken in an eerie whisper, prophetic, like Clay's telling a fortune. He's really not, he's just compiling a bunch of images.}
|

|
Neutral 50
|
{Frowns, winces} Ouch. Thinking small only hurts a little, but it's a sharp pain.
