Dialogue

Starting it

  1. “Hey. Hey, easy. I'm not gonna hit you. I mean, I'm supposed to. That's sort of the whole job.”
  2. “Something up there makes us fight. I don't even like fighting. I'm a skeleton. Everything I've got is already broken.”
  3. “I've got a brother. Clem. They marched him off to another island, and I haven't heard a thing since. Not a peep. Not a rattle.”
  4. “So I wrote him a note. I'd take it myself, but if I leave my post, they find a way to make you deader.”
  5. “You get around. Find Clem for me. He looks like me, only taller. He'd want you to know he's taller.”
  6. “Last I heard, they put him on the big island. Where you woke up. He'll be the one not trying to kill you.”
  7. “And if he's... you know. Deader. Tell him I said hi anyway.”

Handing it in

  1. “Whoa. Easy. I'm on break. A note? For me? Nobody writes to me. Most of us can't hold a pen.”
  2. “That's Dale's handwriting. Well. Bone-writing. He always pressed too hard. Went right through the paper.”
  3. “Dear Clem. I'm okay. Eat something. We can't eat. He knows that. That's just how he says he loves you.”
  4. “Tell him I'm okay. Tell him I think about him every time they make me charge at somebody. Which is a lot. So, a lot.”
  5. “Here. My lucky rib. Give it to him. No. You keep it. He'd just lose it again. He lost the last one inside himself.”
  6. “And hey. If they ever make me fight you, I'll miss on purpose. Probably. I'm not great at it either way.”

At the hand-in without the item

  1. “Dale sent you? Then where's the note? You read it, didn't you. Everybody reads it. It's two lines.”

When your bag is full

  1. “Your bag's full. I'd hold the rib for you, but I'm already holding all of mine.”

isle lines

  1. “Last I heard, they put him on the big island. Where you woke up. He'll be the one not trying to kill you.”
  2. “Last I heard, they put him on the West Isle. You'll want a boat. I'd swim it, but bones sink.”
  3. “Last I heard, they shipped him to the Desert Isle. You'll want a boat. Sand gets in everything, but he's mostly holes, so it gets right back out.”
  4. “Last I heard, they put him up on the Alpine Isle. You'll want a boat, and a coat. He hates the cold. He says he feels it in his bones. He is his bones.”
