"So full of yourself now." "Even though you were just scraping by." "well talk all you want. 300 thousand?" "What is this?" "It's the price for having this picture taken to help you out." "You remember right? You have 3 days to pay it." "there's no way!" "Thank you for waiting." "you're welcome to leave that building." "Just hold on a minute." "Why is it you're always suddenly making unreasonable demands?" "You're always complaining!" "cold!" "cold!" "this feels bad." "Jojima!" "that recent..." "I'll do it." "that really stinks?"
