Look at (main)

rat: Yeah, what did he do?
holdup: He tried to bribe me, can you believe it?
rat: And did you take the money?
holdup: Of course I did!
holdup: But I still didn't let him through! It's a perfect way to earn some additional income, isn't it?
rat: Ha, great! Just great!
faker: Yeah. And since we've started selling all the fish from the village to those big city merchants, we've made ourselves a pile of money!
rat: And don't forget the bills from those envelopes that we found in the mail ...
holdup: Isn't it great? Lowell Cain gives us a brain-washing device and lets us take anything we want from this stinking village, and then pays us a generous salary on top of it all!
holdup: I think we should treat ourselves to a night out on the town with drink and some ladies once we're done here in Ravenhollow. What do you think!?
rat: Sounds great!
faker: Sounds great indeed! We just have to make sure we don't run into the big city cops. We're still wanted for fraud ...
rat: ... and forgery.
holdup: Fraud and forgery?
holdup: Come on, you ladies! You're talking to Holdup Hawkins here! They'll try to put me into jail as soon as I enter the city limits!
holdup: ... but that won't stop me from havin' some fun when I'm done in this boring sinkhole of a village.
nigel: Which way should we go?
nathan: Let's try the tower on the left. I've seen a lot of activity going on up there while spying on the Castle, so I think that's where we need to go ...
nigel: Ok. Let's go.
nathan: What's your name, by the way?
nigel: Nigel. The name's Nigel K. Trelawney.
nathan: I'm Nathan, Nathan Mallory. Good to meet you.
nigel: Good to meet you too, Nathan. Now let's finish this!

holdup: Actually, we can. And we do.
nigel: But what could you possibly want of a harmless old man's zeppelin?!
holdup: That's Castle business, which means that it's none of yours!
