Whistle While You Shirk Whistle While You Shirk script
Minerold03495 You there! New lass/lad! Where are the others?
Minerold03495 Don't try to play me for a fool, I know what they're up to. No good, that's what! Expect me to pay them for shirking their duties, do they? Bah!
Minerold03495 Go and get them, will you? It's time I gave them a stern talking to!
Minerold03495 The youth of today, what a shower of shite! In my day we had it tough. We'd be woken up half a bell before we'd went to bed, eat a handful of hot gravel, and─ What are you still gawping at me for, you bloody fool!?
Minera03495 Ah gods, my aching head... I feel like death warmed up...
Minera03495 All right, all right! Enough of your posing!
Minera03495 If going back to work's what it takes for you to leave me alone, so be it!
Minerb03495 <sigh> Nothing's going my way... I haven't had a decent haul in ages. I might as well just hang up my pickaxe for good.
Minerb03495 I don't know who you are or what you're doing, but your enthusiasm is somehow...infectious!
Minerb03495 Yes, I should be thankful for what I have! I've got a steady job, a sort of beautiful home, what more could I ask for? Heigh ho, heigh ho, it's back to work I go!
Minerc03495 Why would she leave me? There's nothing for her in Eulmore! Whatever will I do now?
Minerc03495 “There, there?” What does that even mean, anyway? There are people who need me? There is still work to be done?
Minerc03495 That's it! I should forget my sorrows by burying myself in my work! Ah, a poor choice of words considering I'm a miner... But enough procrastinating, there's digging to be done!
Minera03495 Nothing cures a hangover better than spending hours smashing rocks in a dingy mine... Ungh. Kill me now.
Minerb03495 Ha ha, those rocks won't know what hit them!
Minerc03495 Who needs her anyway? I'm married to my job!
Minerold03495 So, the four of you finally decided to show up and do some bloody work, then?
Minera03495 Four!? But this woman/bloke's not part of our team, is s/he? As far as I can tell, s/he's just passing through!
Minerold03495 Eh!? What are you prattling about now?
Minerold03495 Ha ha! My mistake! When you get to my age, one person-shaped blur looks much like all the others. Must be these damned eyes of mine.
Minerold03495 Still, we could use an extra pair of hands around here. I daresay you're worth more than all of these slack-jawed layabouts put together.
Minerold03495 But if you're not here for the mining, you might as well take this as payment for rounding up my workers. Gods help me, they're all I've got.
Quest complete.
