Talk

  1. “Name's Abe. I sell a bit of everything. People ask what I specialise in. I tell them nothing. That's the specialty. You'd be surprised how few people have thought of it.”
  2. “I've got rope, sticks, a fishing rod, some lures, and whatever guns washed up this week. I don't ask where they come from. They come from the sea. That's where everything comes from out here. Boats are Hank's, out on the jetty.”
  3. “The weapons change every morning. I don't pick them. The tide picks them. I just put a price on them. The tide doesn't know what anything's worth. That's why it needs me.”
  4. “Further out past the ash there's supposed to be another island. Desert. Hot. People in hats. I've never been. I don't like hats. Or heat. Or people, if I'm honest. Lot of reasons not to go.”
  5. “The ash over there? Don't eat it. People ask me why I'd even have to say that. I tell them I've met people.”
  6. “I'll buy whatever you've got. Not for much. I'm not that kind of trader. I'm the other kind. The kind that's still in business.”

Shop greetings

  • “A little of everything. Nothing of anything in particular. Take a look.”
  • “Back again. Good. I was starting to think I'd have to talk to the crates.”

Quips

After you buy

  • “There you go. No refunds. Not because of a policy. I just spent it already.”
  • “Good choice. I'd have bought that myself. Well, I did. Now you have. That's how it works.”

When you can't afford it

  • “You're short. Come back with more gold. Or less wanting. Either one.”

When your bag is full

  • “Your bag's full. Maybe sell me something first. I'll buy anything. That's not a boast. It's a problem.”

After you sell

  • “I'll take it. I'll find someone who wants it. Or I won't. Either way it's mine now.”

When it is sold out

  • “That's gone. More tomorrow. Or something else tomorrow. Usually something else.”

When they don't buy it

  • “I can't give you anything for that. And I buy everything. So think about what that says.”

When you walk off mid-sentence

  • “Oi. I was mid-pitch. Fair enough. Most people walk off at the price.”
  • “Off you go, then. Don't touch nothing on the way out. You did. I saw.”
  • “Charming. I've been walked out on by better. No I haven't, actually.”
