Arthur: So, uh...well, y-y-you've been...

He clears his throat.

Arthur: you've been made a widow, you come here lookin' for me, is that it?

Mary: No, ain't like that, Arthur.

Arthur: Oh, okay... He says, looking down.

Mary struggles to find the words to say.

Mary: ...I... My family... I need your help.

Arthur: You mean, the family that always looked down on me? You want me to help them?

Mary: It's my little brother, Jamie.

Arthur scoffs and walks towards the railing.

Arthur: Well, I always liked Jamie, at least compared to the rest of them. He says, resting his hands on the railing.

Mary walks up next to him and leans her hands on the railing.

Mary: He's broken daddy's heart.

Arthur scoffs again.

Arthur: Daddy has a heart?

Mary: Don't make me beg you, Arthur.

Arthur: My money, my life, ME...I wasn't good enough.

Mary: I'm sorry. We need your help real bad. She says, turning to him. Little Jamie's joined the Chelonians, that strange religious order.

Arthur shrugs his shoulders.
