Sindy: That’s the last of the trash, did you finish locking up?
Avarice: Yup, locked and loaded!

Sindy: Thanks for sticking around with me for overtime, if you weren’t here I wouldn’t have finished till morning
Avarice: No problem, I’m always up for helping out. Plus, it’s not like I can’t use the extra cash!

Sindy: Hehe, true true
Avarice: Now c’mon, how about I walk you home

Sindy: That sounds like a plan, let’s go

Avarice: So how are your paintings coming along?
Sindy: Well, my sister and I divide the house chores equally, so between that and this job, I barely have time to work on my paintings

Avarice: That’s tough, but hey, at least your sister does half of the work at home, unlike my sister in law! She lives with us for free and never lifts a finger, it all falls on my wife’s shoulders, who doesn’t say anything about it to not make her older sister uncomfortable

Sindy: Wow, talk about hospitality! But enough about life’s worries, I heard you have an audition for a role, is it true?

Avarice: Yup, it’s a small role on a weekly TV show
Sindy: That’s great!

Avarice: Hopefully it will be my ticket out of the waitressing career forever!
Sindy: Well at least one of us would have made it out!

Avarice: Hey it’s the new Fire Station they’re building, its going up real fast!
Sindy: I heard big a construction company from out of town is working on it

Sindy: But no matter who is building it, the important thing is that it will feel much safer living in this town when it’s finished
Avarice: You got that right



Sindy: You know, maybe I should quit my job and become a firefighter

Avarice: A firefighter? You? I thought they were building this place to make us feel safer?
Sindy: Hey! I bet I would make a better firefighter than you!



Miss Aqua: It's this lamp, it's an antique and you want me to find a buyer, right? This has to be why we are meeting here and not at your house

Mr.Blue: Well if you can convince the buyer that it is an antique you can have it! But no, we're here because I wanted to see how the construction is coming a long without workers hovering around me

Mr.Blue: Now tell me, what did you get from the basic recon I told you to carry out?
Miss Aqua: Ah yes! I snooped around for a while and this is what I got: Arlene Maglob, middle name Brochan, Clinical Psychologist at the Sacred Spleen Medical Center. She moved back here six months ago and lives with her sister and brother in-law

Miss Aqua: The brother in law is Avarice Torres, aspiring actor currently employed as a waiter at the local diner just down the street from here. Sister Clee is an author who wrote one best selling Romance Novel that payed for the house they all live in

Mr.Blue: Hmmm, a very good job Miss Aqua. Stick to this assignment for the time being

Mr.Blue: But be very thorough, I want detail reports about this household, everything you can find. And anything that can be documented - important papers, pictures you take of them and the sort - bring them all to me

Miss Aqua: Alright Mr.Blue, is anyone in specific of high priority?

Mr.Blue: Arlene, definitely Arlene is of higher priority! Yet, always use your judegement in every circumstance
Miss Aqua: Understood Mr.Blue

Miss Aqua: If we are done with business, I have a request Mr.Blue
Mr.Blue: Alright, go ahead

Miss Aqua: Well, we have been working together for two years now and you never tell me anything about you nor do you ask me anything about me!

Mr.Blue: First, seeing that I pay your salary, you work for me and not with me. Second, I am getting a cat. There, I shared something with you, savor the moment for the next two years

Miss Aqua: A cat? That is so sweet! What are you gonna call it?

Mr.Blue: That is my business to take care of and not yours. Besides, that is enough sharing for now, I must be going back home

Miss Aqua: Wait! Mr.Blue!

Mr.Blue: What is it Miss Aqua?

Miss Aqua: Well you told me something about you, but don't you want me to tell you something about myself?

Mr.Blue: Not really, I already know everything I need to know

Miss Aqua: But I never told you anything Mr.Blue, not even my first name, so you're basically saying you don't want to know anything about me! How can you trust me with all these investigative assignments if you don't know anything about me?

Mr.Blue: It is all about your work, I judge you by how well you do your job. Now enough with the questions, keep yourself occupied with your assignment, alright Chelsea?
