Benny: "Hey. What the fuck are you doing here? Is that you, Pilgrim? You shouldn't be here, mate. How'd you get in?"
Aiden: "Benny, right? We need to talk."
Benny: "I don't like this. Dodger sent you, did he? Tell him I'm pulling together what I owe him. I'm just... I haven't got it yet."
Aiden: "Hold up, Benny."
- Aiden: "(So you're in debt to Dodger?) So you're saying you're in debt to Dodger?"
- Benny: "Dodger hasn't sent you?"
- Aiden: "No. How much do you owe him?"
- Aiden: "(I think you're the one who stole the flour) Only you had a reason to steal the flour."
- Benny: "You bastard. Do you think that just because you turned on the water, you got free run of the place?"
- Aiden: "Tell me I'm wrong."
- Benny: "I ain't telling you nothing! Fuck off!"
- Aiden: "Benny!"
(In the south warehouse)
Benny: "Look, mate. I haven't done anything. God as me witness. Let me go, please."
Aiden: "First answer a few questions. But I want the truth. Did you steal the flour?"
Benny: "No. I don't even know where it is."
Aiden: "So why did you attack me?"
Benny: "Thought you mighta been one of Dodger's boys, come to collect."
Aiden: "I see. You're in deep with Dodger and used your mother's bountiful harvest for collateral?"
Benny: "I was hot that night, mate. And the pot was big enough, we coulda bought the Janson's fields. With the water back on 'n' all, Mum 'n me woulda been sitting pretty for the rest of our days! But then things got ugly and, ain't no other way to tell it: I lost."
Aiden: "So did Dodger take the flour? To settle up?"
Benny: "Doubt it. Coulda just made me bring it to him. And I would have. He's too lazy to do anything himself. But, you know, mate... don't tell him I said that."
Teresa: "What is the meaning of this?!"
- Aiden: "(You are guilty of stealing the flour.) Stealing the flour was your job, Teresa."
- Teresa: "So, you Pilgrims really are crazy!"
- Benny: "He's off his nut, Mum!"
- Teresa: "You shut your trap and listen, young man. I've had enough of you as well!"
- Aiden: "Benny wouldn't have pulled this off on his own. He's not exactly the brightest chap. No offense ma'am."
- Teresa: "None taken. Lump of coal for brains, that one."
- Benny: "Mom?"
- Teresa: "Very well. I did it ... but I really had no choice, Aiden."
- Aiden: "(Your son is guilty of stealing the flour.) Your son's a thief. I'm bringing him to the guards for a chat. Unless he'll say where he hid the flour. Right now."
- Benny: "I told you, mate. I didn't do it!"
- Teresa: "Of course he didn't. Are you daft?"
- Aiden: "This will be a bitter pill, I'm sure. But all signs are pointing to your son. Especially the most important sign of all: he had a motive. Time to come clean, Benny. Tell your mother about your debt, the card game you lost."
- Teresa: "Please! You really think I don't know what's going on with my own son? He has nothing to do with this. Let him go. I'll be the one confessing here."
(Regardless of the decision made)
- Teresa: "We worked for months on that crop. Worked our fingers to the bone! It yielded enough to last for months! There'd be bread, enough to feed the whole Bazaar. But you know what Dodger would do if he got it? Sell it back to us. For triple the price. We'd end up paying for our own flour. A cruel joke! All because of a stupid card game. We'd be ruined! I couldn't allow that. I wouldn't."
- Aiden: "So where is the flour?"
- Teresa: "Under the Water Tower. You must understand. It can't go to Dodger."
- Aiden: "Why not? he won it fair and square."
- Teresa: "Dodger? Fair and square? Hardly. He's a cheat. Everyone knows it. We just can't prove it. Okay, say you are right. Is there a middle ground? Can we give him something else instead?"
- Aiden: "Someone like Dodger doesn't seem all that flexible."
- Benny: "He's got to be, mate. Talk to him, please. Ask him for more time. Anything! We're begging you!"
- Aiden: "Let me think about that."
(If the debt was settled through the challenge)
Teresa: "Any luck with Dodger?"
Aiden: "Yeah. He won't be hassling you about your flour anymore."
Benny: "Mate! How did you do it?!"
Aiden: "I won a bet for him. A strange one."
Teresa: "But... now we're in your debt! We'll never be able to repay you."
- Aiden: "(All I need is a reward for completing the task.) All I need is a reward for completing the task."
- Teresa: "God knows it's not enough. Please don't think too ill of me."
- Aiden: "(Then pay it forward. Apologize to Anna.) Then pay it forward. Start by apologizing to Anna."
- Teresa: "Yes. Yes, of course. God, what have I done...? I'll go right away. Maybe it's not too late to repair things."
- Benny: "I've been such a prat. This is all my fault."
- Aiden: "Just try to keep your nose clean from now on. For your mother's sake, if not your own."
(If the debt was settled through payment)
Teresa: "Any luck with Dodger?"
Aiden: "Yeah. He won't be hassling you about your flour anymore."
Benny: "Mate! How did you do it?!"
Aiden: "Simple. I paid him."
Teresa: "But... now we're in your debt! We'll never be able to repay you."
- Aiden: "(All I need is a reward for completing the task.) All I need is a reward for completing the task."
- Teresa: "God knows it's not enough. Please don't think too ill of me."
- Aiden: "(Then pay it forward. Apologize to Anna.) Then pay it forward. Start by apologizing to Anna."
- Teresa: "Yes. Yes, of course. God, what have I done...? I'll go right away. Maybe it's not too late to repair things."
- Benny: "I've been such a prat. This is all my fault."
- Aiden: "Just try to keep your nose clean from now on. For your mother's sake, if not your own."
