Dialogue
- Burnice: Ah, er, huff, um... Proxy, Proxy!!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Burnice? Slow down. You're out of breath. What's up?
- Burnice: I know we said we'd go claim our three million Dennies today! But... something's gone wrong!
- Burnice: And it's something I can't really handle myself...
- Burnice: Can we talk inside?
- Afterward, you follow Burnice into the workshop...
- Burnice: I'm sorry for getting a little emotional there for a second, as things might not actually be that serious. But...
- Burnice: But it's just that Piper has our lottery ticket and she's been missing all day—nobody can get a hold of her.
Is that it? No big deal.
- Burnice: Absolutely!
- ...Don't tell me she's absconded with it?
- Burnice: Don't worry! Piper is so nice and she loves us, so there's no way she's run off with it! There'll always be three million Dennies floating around New Eridu somewhere, but (WiseWise /
BelleBelle) and Burnice, we're both one of a kind!
- Burnice: Don't worry! Piper is so nice and she loves us, so there's no way she's run off with it! There'll always be three million Dennies floating around New Eridu somewhere, but (WiseWise /
- Burnice: However, I'm still a little worried about Piper's safety, y'know?
- Burnice: She's been down in a Hollow since yesterday testing out a vehicle. And seeing as we can't reach her, she might still be down there.
- Burnice: What if something went wrong with the vehicle, and she got trapped? Or what if she got too obsessed, and...
- Let's go take a look in the Hollow then.
- Let's find Piper.
- Burnice: That's what I thought! Then I'll head down to the Hollow to await your orders!
- (SiblingSibling): Piper seems to have (gone missinggone missing /
disappeareddisappeared) while running some vehicle tests in the Hollows, and you're going in with Burnice to look for her... - (SiblingSibling): (Let's get on the HDD. Don't worry, Wise. Leave it to me to...Let's get on the HDD. Don't worry, Wise. Leave it to me to... /

- (SiblingSibling):(Hey!Hey! /
...Hey....Hey.) - Let's all work together.
- Wow, you sure are enthusiastic today, Fairy.
- Fairy: For the one million in power funds that is incoming—I will do my best.

Main article: Sharing Good Fortune
- Burnice: Piper! Where are you? Piper! Piper! Pi—per—!!!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist) In all my years as a Proxy, this is the first time I've ever seen somebody try to find someone with echolocation
- Burnice: Eh... she can't have gotten that far, she'll be able to hear!
- (Idle)
- Gang Henchman: Which idiot dares invade our turf!
- Gang Henchman: They here to steal the lottery ticket, too?
- Piper: Hey, hey! I'm over here!
- Burnice: Tire marks from a truck... She must have been stopped here!
- Piper: Hey, that you Burnice? M'over here!
- Burnice: I knew it! How dare you lay a finger on Piper... I'm gonna teach 'em a lesson!
- (Idle)
- Piper: There should be a control stick on the side... Give it a yank, Proxy!
- (Talk to Piper)
- Piper: Burnice, Proxy, I'm surprised you guys managed to find me...
- Piper: I guess some people must've found out about us winning the lottery.
- Piper: Rumors started getting out of hand until someone kidnapped me for the lottery ticket...
- Burnice: That's too much! We oughta go find them and give 'em a piece of our mind!
- Burnice: I'm sure we can come to a mutual understanding if we talk things through...!
- (After talking to Piper)
- Burnice: Piper, they didn't hurt you did they?
- Piper: Ha~ Those greenhorns couldn't hurt a flea.
- Piper: If they didn't threaten to scratch Steeltusk, I wouldn't have given 'em the time a day.
- (While fighting the subsequent waves of enemies)
- Piper: Actually, I've seen 'em somewhere before
- Piper: They're just folks tryin to make ends meet in the Outer Ring
Foe to Friend
The following is recorded in the Video Archive
Foe to Friend- Gang Henchman: Boss, I already told you, we're facing Burnice and Piper from the Sons of Calydon. They're too much for us to handle...
- Gang Leader: *coughing* But a real man fights against the impossible!
- Gang Leader: That lottery ticket will not only cover my ex-wife's child support... but also help protect our lands!
- Burnice: Impressive! Using someone else's lottery ticket to pay for your own child support, and you're still worried about protecting your lands? What a hero! I'm sure your child would be proud!
- Gang Leader: ... *crying*
- Piper: Ugh... Trust me, Burnice doesn't mean any harm. That's just the way she talks.
- Gang Leader: I know I may not be a good father... But I grew up in the Outer Ring, and I love these lands to the depths of my soul! I loved my wife too, but these lands remain my greatest love...
- Gang Leader: I'll protect it with my life! Even if some crazy fuel maniac with a billion in prize money plans to buy the entire area as her own fuel testing site! I'll fight till the bitter end!
- Burnice: Wh—Who's this fuel maniac who sounds even greater than me?! Could you introduce me to them?
- Piper: I think he's talking about the rumored version of you.
- Burnice: Huh? Me?
- Burnice: I would never do that! But now you mention it... who do I buy the Outer Ring's lands from? Also, the prize isn't even a billion. It's just three million...
- Burnice: "Just three million"... Ugh, if I had that kind of money, my child support would...
- Gang Henchman: Boss, now's not the time to be talking about child support. It seems you've fallen for the most extreme version of the rumor, but she doesn't actually have any such plans...
- Burnice: But now that I think about it, setting fire to the Outer Ring sounds pretty cool...
- Piper: Take it easy, Burnice. We're just about to clear up this misunderstanding.
- Gang Leader: *sobbing*... I guess we came here for nothing. We came here with empty stomachs, hoping to make a killing with that lottery ticket. But it seems we'll be going home still hungry...
- Gang Henchman: It's all right, Boss. It doesn't matter if we didn't get the money! The others' low blood sugar has improved tremendously. It won't be like last time when Dickey fainted in that Ethereal nest...
- Piper: Wait! Just wait a minute! You're the ones who came charging at us, but now you're trying to put on a sad, starving act? Now we're the bad guys?! Hey! Burnice, say something...
- Burnice: Okay! I've decided!
- Piper: Dare I ask what you've decided?
- Burnice: To provide self-service snacks during the First Burnice Cup Seven Days & Nights Unlimited Drinking Festival, of course! A heart needs more than Nitro-Fuel to keep pumping!
- Piper: Did I miss something? The first what?
- Burnice: The First Burnice Cup Seven Days & Nights Unlimited Drinking Festival!
- Piper: What's that?
- Burnice: I haven't mentioned it to you? Oh, I don't think I have! Well, it's all right. I can just tell you now!
- Burnice: I plan to use my one million to buy different flavors of premium Nitro-Fuel and drink with everyone in the Outer Ring for seven days and nights straight... What do you think? I'm sure everyone will love it!
- Gang Leader: A—Are you serious? Free Nitro-Fuel and snacks? And we're all invited?
- Gang Henchman: Boss, y-you're not dreaming... It's a promise straight from Burnice of the Sons of Calydon!
- Burnice: Yep, that's right! You can even bring along your ex-wife and daughter! Oh, wait, how old is your daughter?
- Gang Leader: It was her fourth birthday yesterday.
- Burnice: Then I'll book her a ticket for the Twentieth Burnice Cup!
- Gang Leader: If only I knew you were planning to do such a good deed with your winnings... Ugh, what have I done? I actually tried to rob a charitable angel like you! I tried to rob a saint!
- Gang Leader: If we weren't so tired from hunger, we'd be tossing you into the air and cheering right now!
- Burnice: Wow! I want to get tossed up into the air! Next time you see me, you have to toss me, it's a promise!
- Gang Leader: Of course, of course we will! We'll get going then.
- Burnice: Bye! Proxy said the nearest Hollow exit is over there!
- Burnice smiles as she waves vigorously, sending off the gangsters, who are supporting each other as they walk off.
- Burnice: Did you hear that? They wanna throw me up in the air and cheer... Everyone here is so nice!
- Piper: ...I don't know what to say. Proxy?
- What a touching scene...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist) What a touching scene... But Burnice, (you said you wanted to spend all of it on a Nitro-Fuel party? Were you serious?you said you wanted to spend all of it on a Nitro-Fuel party? Were you serious? /
were you serious earlier? Are you really going to spend all of it on treating everyone to Nitro-Fuel and leave nothing for yourself?were you serious earlier? Are you really going to spend all of it on treating everyone to Nitro-Fuel and leave nothing for yourself?)

- (ProtagonistProtagonist) (Burnice, you said you wanted to spend all of it on a Nitro-Fuel party? Were you serious?Burnice, you said you wanted to spend all of it on a Nitro-Fuel party? Were you serious? /
- Burnice: Absolutely! I've been wanting to do it since before I had a million! Everyone's gonna be so happy!
- Burnice: Don't tell me... you want my idea? Hmm, you can host a Nitro-Fuel party, but it can't be called the Burnice Cup! You've got to come up with your own name!
- Piper: Don't worry, we would never consider doing something like that... Compared to you, the Proxy and I are normal people. As ordinary as they come.
- Piper: We have lots of things we want to do and spend our money on. That's why we'll spend our money on improving our own lives, right, Proxy?
- After finding Piper, everyone returns to Sixth Street...
- Burnice: Wow, I redeemed it! They really transferred a million Dennies into my account!
- Burnice: Happy days are here again~ The last time I was this happy was... Was... Was when that mommy dog in the Outer Ring brought her puppies over to me!
- Piper: Hmm... One million. It's like a dream come true. A few more of these, and I wouldn't feel like doing honest hard work anymore.
- Wait... You guys all get a million Dennies?
- Burnice: Yeah... Piper told me you got crazy high taxes in the city, but you'll still get a couple hundred thousand... or something like that, right?
- We only got around 300,000 Dennies.
- Piper: Oh... this is really... you know... But hey... you can always come to the Outer Ring, you know?
- Burnice: Hey, don't sweat it! It's 300,000 Dennies! That's good enough! A huge chunk of Dennies, right? We've all been through the awkward scene where you struggled to find the last 237 Dennies at the restaurant... Wait, you haven't?
- Piper: Burnice means any boost in your balance is a good thing? It'll help ease your financial pressure a bit.
- Piper: I'll shoot ahead and hit up Turbo. Hmm, that old brat Enzo said a trunk like Steeltusk is a waste of his best oil... Let's see if he says the same thing to some cold hard cash!
- Burnice: I also booked an appointment to meet up with my fuel supplier... Heehee, looks I can buy her lunch today!
- I'm heading home.
- I gotta go back and talk with my (sistersister /
brotherbrother). - Burnice: Cool, let's split up then... And Proxy, tell me when you get back home safe, okay!
- Piper: They literally live around the corner. Could you show me a little concern instead?
- After the discussion, Burnice and Piper leave...
- (Obtained 300,000 Dennies)
Go back to the video store
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Go back and talk to (BelleBelle /
WiseWise).
- (Idle)
- Enzo: That engine is cursed. Its three previous owners have all fallen victim to it...
- Enzo: But hey, you gotta admit the horsepower is incredible!
- Piper: The more you say the more I'm itching to try it!
- (SiblingSibling): That gang that was after Piper — Burnice sent them off with just a few words and a million Dennies...
- (SiblingSibling): (That was impressiveThat was impressive /
Truly remarkable...Truly remarkable...) In more than one way. - Fairy: Welcome back. Master.
- Fairy: I have printed out a New Eridu Unexpected Income Tax form for you. Below it is last month's power bill and an overdue fine...
- (SiblingSibling): (Fairy, on a day of celebration like this, could you please talk about anything other than a depressing tax report?Fairy, on a day of celebration like this, could you please talk about anything other than a depressing tax report? /
Though these taxes are downright terrifying, we should enjoy the feeling of all this money coming in at once... That's a kind of joy an AI probably can't understand.Though these taxes are downright terrifying, we should enjoy the feeling of all this money coming in at once...
