- Suzy Linden: [victory music] Ah-ha! Score! Oh, Charlie... thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I wasn't ever going to get past that ogre if it hadn't been for you and your mad gaming skills. Now, I can finally turn in these quests and level up now! [giggle] Thank you! Oh, I'm so happy... I might just have to hug you!
- Charles Rowland: [Kirlian filter:] Uh... please don't. Really, Suzy... It's okay... Uh... if you want to thank anyone, you should ask my taskmaster over there. I'm surprised he's letting me play games.
- Suzy Linden: In that case... I thank you as well, Taskmaster Paine. [giggle]
- Edwin Paine: [Kirlian filter:] Well, there are few places we can go as Charles is still tethered to his remains and you, Susan, are the nearest psychic sensitive entity living near the Coventry cemetery.
- Suzy Linden: [giggle] It's good that boys appreciate me for my geography.
- Edwin Paine: [Kirlian filter:] Plus, it's good practice for him... What with all that... manipulating of that... handheld device-
- Charles Rowland: [Kirlian filter:] Controller.
- Edwin Paine: [Kirlian filter:] Yes, that's good at rebuilding his manual dexterity and it's quite incredible to see the progress you've made in such short time. Less then a month out of the grave and he's maintaining a prolonged tactile control of a small instrument. I couldn't have imagined doing something like that until I was dead... for the better part of a decade.
- Charles Rowland: [Kirlian filter:] Now watch, this is the part where he takes credit for my accomplishments...
- Edwin Paine: [Kirlian filter:] Yes, well, obviously that is due to the superior instruction. I did not have the good fortune of a mentor, Charles.
- Suzy Linden: [giggle] You two... You boys crack me up. Okay enough talking. Hand over the buttons. I need to level this healer up. I unlock new wardrobe items at level 20. Totally gonna slut her up. [giggle]
- Charles Rowland: [Kirlian filter:] Here's your 'handheld device'.
- Suzy Linden: [clatter] Ah, thank you... Hey, give me a minute to ride back to town so I can save my progress and I can switch it to Multiplayer. We can play together.
- Edwin Paine: [Kirlian filter:] Well, it's getting kind of late and-
- Suzy Linden: You have somewhere better to be?
- Edwin Paine: [Kirlian filter:] Just because we are dead, Miss Linden, doesn't mean we don't have social lives.
- Suzy Linden: Yeah? What exciting destination is in store for the Dead Boy Detectives? Hmm?
- Edwin Paine: [Kirlian filter:] Uh, well... You see, we're... uh, I wanted to see if Charles could stretch his reach enough to Brentwood Academy. I have need to inspect something in the library.
- Suzy Linden: [scoff, chuckle] You're going to a school library... at 7 PM... on a Saturday? [giggle] Oh, yeah. You two know how to live. [scoff, giggle] Oh, uh, no offense.
- Charles Rowland: [Kirlian filter:] None taken.
- Edwin Paine: [Kirlian filter:] I am a little offended.
- Suzy Linden: Come on, Eddie! Tina's out of the house. Let me go down the hall and grab Ellie's GameStation. I can hook it up to the spare TV and we can do three-player online. What do you say? Live a little!
- Edwin Paine: [Kirlian filter:] [groan] I do not know. I am not sure I would be comfortable being the... third wheel in whatever you two having going on between you.
- Charles Rowland: [Kirlian filter:] Edwin, she's asking us to play a video game. It's not like she's asking me on a date. Look at her, she's a pretty girl. No way she's so desperate that she'd be interested in a dead kid.
- Suzy Linden: [giggle, pause] Well, hold on there, Charlie! The other night, when your level 15 paladin rescued my level 19 Elven white mage from the Goblin King under the Falls of the Moon Shine, I thought we had a moment. [giggle, pause, silence: 2.8 seconds] Wait! Hold the front door! Charlie! OMG! Charlie, did you seriously just call me pretty? Did I hear that right?!
