Script

Inn dialogue

Finch

Hey, did you know they've got a Titan Battleship stationed down at the docks in Torigoth?
I wanna go see! Let's go take a look!

Heart-to-Heart

Finch

Awww, yay! So awesome. Woooo!
Just lookit! I'm literally speechless!
I never saw a view like this before. Not in my whole life!

Dromarch

It gladdens me to see you so enthused. The view is breath-taking indeed.

Finch's Driver

I can't remember you getting so excited about scenery, Finch.

But you've seen a whole bunch of stuff like this...

Really, Finch? But you've seen all kinds of vistas, without reacting like this.

C'mon, you've seen all this wind and water crap before. What's the big deal this time?

Finch

Huh? Really...?
Uh... Maybe...? But this one's just so crazy-awesome!
Are you sure you're not misremembering?
Ah, that's the cool thing about all this adventuring business. Coming across stuff like this!
I just wanna keep doing it. I just wanna see everything, discover it all!

Finch's Driver

Hey, Finch...

Finch's Driver

So what is it you want to see next?

Where'd you wanna to go next?

What would you like to see next?

Where'd you want to go next?

Trust +1000

Finch

Hmmm.
I really want to see somewhere snowy.

Dromarch

Snowy, you say...

Finch

Yup! I've never seen snow in real life before.
Ah, I can just imagine it. Everything all white, like a great big wedding cake.

Before the party reaches Tantal.

Finch

And y'know another place I wanna see? A real hot place, with scorched earth! A fusty ol' dust bowl!
I feel like I'd really be able to spread my wings and fly in a place like that.

Dromarch

Really... I'm not so sure.

Finch

Huh, whatever! Just make sure you tell me if you're about to go off to one of those crazy-cool places!

After the party reaches Tantal.

Dromarch

But... Didn't we see rather a lot of snow in Tantal? We were only just there...

Finch

Uh? Dondle...? It had snow? Seriously?
Oh... Wait, wait...don't tell me... Umm...
Did like, all you guys go on the sly, and leave out ol' Finch here?
That was pretty lame of you jerks!

Finch's Driver

Hey! We haven't kept anything from you, Finch. Dromarch, are you sure we saw some snow...?

Hey, calm down, will you? Are you sure flea-bag here didn't just remember it wrong?

Finch, we never leave a man behind. Could Dromarch be mistaken?

Finch, we wouldn't do the dirty on you without a really good reason. Maybe Dromarch just got it wrong.

Dromarch

Huh? Ah, well perhaps I am mistaken. Think of it that way, if it makes you feel better.

Finch

Bah, you guys! I knew you wouldn't have stabbed me in the back like that.
And for the record, if you're going off somewhere, don't forget to tell ol' Finch about it!

Finch's Driver

You really like adventures, don't you?

You really like adventures, huh?

You have a penchant for adventures, I see.

You've got a wacky craving for adventures, don't ya?

Trust +900

Finch

Yeah! I really love 'em! It's what makes all this wandering about worthwhile.
Seeing new stuff... It's what it's all about!
Hey... I was just saying exactly the same thing, like, just a minute ago...
...Right?
Ah who cares. I'm probably just overthinking it!

Dromarch

Hahaha... Don't worry, Finch. We're used to it, and we love you all the same.

Finch

Huh...? You guys don't seem as worked up about all this new stuff as me. Don't you like new things?

Finch's Driver

Nah, I mean, we like them, Finch.
We just don't get quite as excited as you do!

Nah, I mean, this stuff is still kinda cool, Finch.
We just don't go nuts and flip a lid every time.

No, seeing new things builds character, I can't deny that.
But a soldier's got to keep their dignity.

Don't get me wrong, Finch, it's good to see something new.
But some of us have super-cool, ice-man reps to maintain.

Finch

Seriously?

Dromarch

Indeed, Finch.
You have your own...very loud...way of rejoicing. It's one of your characteristics.

Finch

Uh... I... I don't...r-really get when you... Eh, who cares!

Finch

But anyhow... Let's hurry on to the next great discovery! I can't wait!
Everyone good to go?

Dromarch

Very much so! Let us venture forth!

The scene fades to black. Finch's Birdbrain activates.

Finch

Yeah! Woohoo!

The scene fades in again. Finch is back where she started.

Finch

Look! Lookit!
Get a load of that scenery! Never seen that before!

Dromarch

Huh?

Finch

Hey, can't you see that killer view, Bromarch? It rocks!

Dromarch

What... Did you forget already?

Finch

Forget? Forget what?

Finch's Driver

Hahaha!
Finch, I don't think we'll ever get bored while you're around!

Hahaha!
We'll never be short of entertainment with you around, Finch.

Hahaha!
Every platoon needs someone like you, Finch.

Hahaha!
You're an absolute classic, Finch.

Finch

Wh-What are you talking about? You're all weird...
