1	ConvGoodneighborHotelFredClairScene		{you and Fred both work in a hotel. Fred cooks chems in the basement, and you detest him / Stern} Fred? Are you going to hang out in the lobby all day again, or are you actually going to go down and do some work?	Fred: Being available to the customers is work! It's not all about cooking chems, Clair.	A1a
2		Fred: Being available to the customers is work! It's not all about cooking chems, Clair.	{Stern} It's not all about sampling those chems, either. Maybe if you stopped using, you could focus.	Fred: What? Where's the fun in cooking it if you ain't using it?	A1a
3		Fred: What? Where's the fun in cooking it if you ain't using it?	{sarcastic / Stern} My mistake.		A1a
4	ConvGoodneighborHotelFredClair02Scene	Fred: Clair... Claaaaair? I know you may not admit it, but underneath that icy face of yours, you secretly like me.	{Stern} No. I don't.	Fred: Oh, I think you do. Come on, I'm the only reason people come to this hotel anymore. Give me a little smile at least.	A1a
5		Fred: Oh, I think you do. Come on, I'm the only reason people come to this hotel anymore. Give me a little smile at least.	{Stern} People come to see you because they're chem addicts, and bottom-feeders. This place was a palace once, now it just has you. Think about that.		A1a
6	ConvGoodneighborHotelFredClair03MarowskiScene		{talking to Fred Allen, the two of you both work for Marowski / Stern} We're going to have a conversation with Mister Marowski about your conduct. Again.	Fred: What? Ah come on, Clair, what'd I do this time?	A1a
7		Fred: What? Ah come on, Clair, what'd I do this time?	{Stern} It's what you're not doing. You're supposed to stay in that lab of yours making those chems.	Fred: The air's nicer up here in the lobby. Besides, don't you like having my smiling company?	A1a
8		Fred: The air's nicer up here in the lobby. Besides, don't you like having my smiling company?	{Stern} No. I don't.		A1a
9	ConvGoodneighborHotelFredClair04MarowskiScene	Fred: Hey Clair. You knew the boss in his heyday, right? What was it like working for a big shot?	{referring to Fred Allen, the person you're talking to, you think he's incompetent / Irritated} Well, I didn't have to deal with incompetency, for one.	Fred: There she is. The ice queen cometh! Warm up a little, Clair. I was just asking.	A1a
10		Fred: There she is. The ice queen cometh! Warm up a little, Clair. I was just asking.	{Stern} Fred. This hotel used to be the center of everything in this neighborhood. That's all gone now.		A1a
11			{Stern} How is bringing that up going to "warm me" to you, exactly?	Fred: Ah, okay, you... got a point there. Sorry.	A1b

12	ClairGreetScene		{player rents a room} The room is on the top floor. When you come to the hallway, it's the last one on the right.		A1a
13			Top floor. Long hallway. Last room on the right.		A2a
14			{player doesn't have enough money, under your breathe / Irritated} Deadbeat...		A3a
15			{player doesn't have enough money / Irritated} Come back when you have the money.		A4a
16			{player doesn't have enough money / Irritated} Then get lost.		A5a
17		Player Default: Not interested.	{Irritated} Then leave.		B1a
18		Player Default: Not interested.	{Irritated} Fine.		B2a
19		Player Default: Not interested.	{Irritated} Then you came to the wrong place.		B3a
20		Player Default: Not interested.	{to yourself / Irritated} Mark another in the "moocher" column...		B4a
21		Player Default: Let me think about it.	Make up your mind next time...		X1a
22		Player Default: Let me think about it.	I'll just cross you off the waiting list, then.		X2a
23		Player Default: Let me think about it.	Figures.		X3a
24		Player Default: Let me think about it.	It's the decor, isn't it?		X4a
25			{player walks into your hotel for the first time / Stern} Before you even start, let's skip to the point. We have rooms. One room, specifically. Payment due up-front.		A
26			{player walks into your hotel looking for a room} Spare me any sob stories. This is a hotel, not a charity, and we insist on full payment for the room. No discounts. No exceptions.		A
27			{stern, organized} Oh, you. Staying with us today? Renter assumes no expectation of privacy or safety for you or your belongings.		A
28			{stern, organized} Looking for a room?		A
29			{stern, organized} You again. Staying with us today, I trust?		A
30		Player Default: Can you tell me a bit about this hotel?	{player asks about the history of the hotel / Irritated} *sigh* Why do they always have questions?		Y1a
31			{dry humor / Sarcastic} The Hotel Rexford used to be a grand establishment. We even had guests that didn't throw up all over the floor.		Y1b
32			{Irritated} But now the only people who come by are looking for somewhere to nurse a hangover or shoot up chems...		Y1c
33			{Stern} So, still want a room?	Clair: *sigh* Why do they always have questions?	Y1d
34		Player Default: Who owns this place?	{player asks who owns the hotel, you're nostalgic and sad for the glory days / Depressed} Mister Marowski. You should have seen him in his day. This place used to be flowing with high-end chems, beautiful clients, and ooh.. the parties.		Y2a
35			{Disgust} But now he just stews in the back office and disgraces his parents' memory. I swear if they knew how far he's fallen, they'd die all over again.		Y2b
36			{Stern} So why don't you rent a room before I get worked up?	Clair: *sigh* Why do they always have questions?	Y2c
37		Player Default: Tell me more about this Marowski character.	{player asks what you can tell him about Marowski / Irritated} Why bother? He's worthless. The other big names caught him with his pants down, and now he just has this ratty hotel.		Y3a
38			{Tired} That's the way Goodneighbor operates. The strong make it to the top, until someone stronger kicks them down.		Y3b
39			{Stern} Now are you buying this room? Or not?	Clair: *sigh* Why do they always have questions?	Y3c
40		Player Default: Tell me a bit about yourself, Clair.	{player asks you about yourself / Tired} I have been working in this hotel for over forty years, and this is NOT how I imagined spending my retirement.		Y4a
41			{Stern} Now are you done being nosy, or are you getting a room?	Clair: *sigh* Why do they always have questions?	Y4b

46			{player just recently rented a room in the hotel} No refunds in the event of armed robbery or kidnapping during your stay.		A
47			Did I... not make myself clear?
48			Is there a problem?
49			Yes? Were you going to say something?
