| What's this about the White Glove Society?

|
| GREETING
| Neutral 50
| You got me my boy back. I got no words.
| 2
|
| Neutral 50
| Now... I hope you didn't do no harm to whoever's responsible for this. I wanna skin their hides myself.
| 3
|
| GREETING
| Neutral 50
| You got a lot of nerve sticking around here. If I didn't have better things to do I'd thump your skull for what you said.

|
| GREETING
| Neutral 50
| Tell me good news.

| GREETING
| Neutral 50
| {To himself} Ted, where are you, boy?
| 6
|
| GREETING
| Neutral 50
| Beg your pardon, stranger, but I'm looking for someone. You ain't seen a young man with dark brown hair and a white hat on lately, have you?
| 7
|
| GREETING
| Neutral 50
| You ain't heard anything about my boy, have you?
| 8
|
| GREETING
| Neutral 50
| You done right by me. I appreciate it.

| What in blazes? That's my son you're talking about! He ain't dead. I'm looking for him. {enraged. he's being arrested for his son's murder.}

| Where's my son? What'd you do with my boy?
| 11
|
| VMS18SecuritronArrestHeck
| Anger 80
| You can't do this to me! This is a mistake!
| 12

| Neutral 50
| The hell I will.

|
| VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic000
| No, I haven't.
| Sad 50
| <Sighs> Ain't nobody got one darned piece of news about my boy? Not one lousy speck of information?
| 14
|
| Neutral 50
| Ain't got one Brahmin unaccounted for across a dozen ranches, but I'm here for an hour and my own son just up and disappears on me.
| 15
|
| VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic002
| <Lie> Yes, I saw him here in the hotel.
| Neutral 50
| What? Oh, my God! Where?
| 16
|
| VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic003
| You lost your son?
| Neutral 50
| My boy, Ted. He was right here. I didn't leave him but a minute. I told him to stay put while I talked some things over with the White Glove folks.
| 17
|
| Neutral 50
| He never was one to stay tied down to a spot, though. Gets that from his mother.
| 18
|
| Neutral 50
| Got most of my staff out looking for him now. I'd be out myself, but I keep hoping he'll show up back here.
| 19
|
| Neutral 50
| Course if he does that I'll whup him till his skinny hide turns to leather for putting me through this. But that don't mean I wouldn't be grateful.
| 20
|
| VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic004
| So you're a rancher?
| Neutral 50
| Yep, got a whole mess of brahmins to my name. Bighorners, too.
| 21
|
| Neutral 50
| Used to just have the one ranch, but land was easy to grab before the soldiers moved in.
| 22
|
| Neutral 50
| Before I knew it I was running one of the biggest ranching operations east of California.
| 23
|
| Neutral 50
| Now everywhere I go, folks I never even met shake my hand and call me "Mr. Gunderson." Don't know quite what to make of that.
| 24
|
| VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic005
| Did you say something about a white glove?
| Neutral 50
| That's what they call themselves, the folk that run this place. They're the ones dressed all fancy with their bowties and shiny dresses.
| 25
|
| Neutral 50
| Some of 'em got masks, too. Real hard to trust folks like that. Couple of them show their faces and that's who I do my business with.
| 26
|
| Neutral 50
| I don't talk to none of the other ones.
| 27
|
| VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic006
| What business did you have here at the hotel?
| Neutral 50
| That's between me and the White Glove Society.
| 28
|
| Neutral 50
| But let's just say they control the food supply around here, and I got lots of food to give, but that ain't as welcome as you might think.
| 29
|
| VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic007
| Let me help find your son.
| Neutral 50
| I'd be more than happy to have you. Heck, I'll hire anybody with a pair of legs and at least one good eye at this point.
| 30
|
| Neutral 50
| There'd be a lot of money in it for you if you can get him back to me safe.
| 31
|
| Neutral 50
| And if he ain't, you can bet I'll pay for the names of the sons of bitches responsible.
| 32
|
| VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic009
| He's over in the bathhouse, wearing a skimpy two-piece bathing suit.
| Anger 75
| What in Creation is the matter with you? Ain't you ever been a parent? Ain't you ever been worried you lost someone?
| 33
|
| Anger 75
| You got a real sick sense of humor.
| 34
|
| VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic010
| Sorry. I didn't realize the situation was so serious.
| Neutral 50
| You're dead right it's serious. I ain't seen my son in hours. Don't know where he went.
| 35
|
| Neutral 50
| Folks round here, some of 'em would kill you soon as look at you. His whole life I tried to keep him at the ranch, away from places like this.
| 36
|
| Neutral 50
| Now I take him here and what happens?
| 37
|
| VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic012
| <Lie> I don't know who took him. I just found him.
| Neutral 50
| Confound it! I just don't know how I'm supposed to sleep knowing whoever done this got away.
| 38
|
| <Lie> I don't know who took him. I just found him.
| Neutral 50
| All right. Well, I promised you I'd make it worth your while, so here you are.
| 39
|
| Neutral 50
| Try not to lose it all at the same casino.
| 40
|
| VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic013
| You can blame the White Glove Society. They're all cannibals.
| Neutral 50
| Well that does it! None of them maniacs will ever do business with Heck Gunderson long as they live.
| 41
|
| Neutral 50
| Hell, I'll put me together a damn blockade. Hit 'em where it hurts.
| 42
|
| Neutral 50
| They control the food? Well there ain't gonna be no food. Not for anybody in this whole damn town.
| 43
|
| Neutral 50
| It's a goddamned monument to inhumanity. Let 'em starve. Biggest favor anyone's ever done this hellhole.
| 44
|
| VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic014
| Your son is confused. He doesn't know what he's saying.
| Neutral 50
| You better be right. Cause I got me a mind to wipe this town off the map if some of the folks running it are to blame.
| 45
|
| Neutral 50
| Well who did this, if it wasn't the White Gloves?
| 46
|
| VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic015
| Let's not be hasty. You don't have to punish the entire Strip.
| Neutral 50
| The heck I don't! It's their support that gives these bastards power.
| 47
|
| Let's not be hasty. You don't have to punish the entire Strip.
| Neutral 50
| They all oughtta suffer for what they done. I just won't be satisfied with anything less. Wouldn't be enough.
| 48
|
| Neutral 50
| My mind's made up on this. I'm cutting off the food supply to the Strip. They gotta learn their lesson the hard way, looks like.
| 49
|
| VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic016
| That's just what they'd want. You'd be driving the city to eat each other.
| Neutral 50
| [SUCCEEDED] I don't like this place. Whole Strip, really. Ever since I got here, the stink of it... it's flooded my nostrils.
| 50
|
| Neutral 50
| But you got a point. They're already hell-bent on depravity here. All I'd be doing is helping them along.
| 51
|
| VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic017
| That sounds like a fantastic idea.
| Neutral 50
| Sometimes I got me so many ideas, it's a wonder they don't all just burst outta my head.
| 52
|
| Neutral 50
| This town's headed to perdition anyway. I'm just giving them a little push.
| 53
|
| VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic018
| But, but, but... that's so unfair. You should only punish the man who did it.
| Neutral 50
| [FAILED] No, that ain't enough. It ain't just him. It's this hotel. It's the whole damn Strip, and everybody who takes their money here.
| 54
|
| Neutral 50
| I sensed it when I got here. This place is evil, pure and simple. Everyone did their part. Ted getting taken was just a symptom of the disease.
| 55
|
| VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic020
| Why is your bodyguard allowed to have a gun?
| Neutral 50
| Made me a special arrangement with the hotel. They want to do business with me, they got to play by my rules.
| 56
|
| Neutral 50
| Lot of people out there resent success, might wanna take a swipe at me. This makes them think twice.
| 57
|
| Neutral 50
| If I'd have been thinking, though, I'd have had him watching my boy instead. Then none of this would've happened.
| 58
|
| VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic021
| Ted's been kidnapped. He's here in the hotel.
| Neutral 50
| He's here? Bless you, I thought he was a goner for sure.
| 59
|
| Neutral 50
| Listen, you do what you gotta do to find him. I'd send my men with you but I'm worried they'd kill Ted if we got close.
| 60
|
| Neutral 50
| Reckon you might need one of these. Take it. Just don't wave it around here where they might take it from you.
| 61
|
| VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic022
| Ted's dead.
| Neutral 50
| {Breaking - his son died} Confound it. I knew I shoulda stayed with him. Ted, I'm so sorry, boy.
| 62
|
| Neutral 50
| I demand to know who did this!
