Stig: Of course it doesn't.

(a while (and a ton of red tape) after, entering the high-ranking Arbites' office on the 52nd floor)

(beat)
Stig (cont'd): Do you know your way around tech stuff?
Lanus: I know my way around book stuff. That is also antithetical.

(expecting silence)
GM: ... into the middle of a carnival crowd.

(discussing whether to go see The Soothing Songs of the Sisters of Seylany)
Stig: We are not paying two hundred and fifty Thrones for a theater ticket.
Atellus: But I want to see The Soothing Songs of the Sisters of Seylany.
Nihilus: We could just kill the guy at the backdoor and sneak in.
(Desperate looks from Stig and Atellus)
Nihilus: What?!
(beat)
Atellus: We're not killing a guy just to see The Soothing Songs of the Sisters of Seylany!

(in toilet stalls next to each other)

(long pause)
Stig: I think I got a cold. You know that? I do the toilet talk thingy.
Nihilus: Don't do that. It's wrong.
Stig: Oh good! It's you.
Nihilus: Oh no. It's you.

(on the topic of questions asked by Stig)
Nihilus: Following his train of thought is like trying to run after the trans-siberian railway. It's cold, it's tiresome and you're not gonna catch up anyway.
Atellus: And you're probably going to get attacked by bears.

(discussing what to do with The Steel Clock)
Atellus: Well my idea would be to acquire some sort of elongated poking device and touch the clock with that.

Stig (to the servitor): Thank you so much.
(the servitor leaves)

(inside the secret passage behind the painting)
Atellus: I mean this is probably going to help us a lot, but don't you think that these things are getting a little too cliché?

Stig: But hey, at least-
(pause)
Stig: Actually, I can't think of anything positive right now. I'll get back to you.
