Idle Quotes

(12AM)
William: Every time I see people partying all night here, I just can't help wonder [sic]...
William: Don't they need to work?

Dialogue

(Interaction with Jacob, 6AM)
William: Jacob, when on earth can we change shifts...?
Jacob: Oh, in a hurry to get home and watch Astra Yao again? What's so special about her? She just seems... kinda difficult.
William: You're badmouthing Astra again! You want a fight? The band you've been listening to all day long, "Hollow Returners" or something, they even come close to one-fifth of her album sales!!!
Jacob: You just crossed the line, my friend. Fine! Round 130 — let's see who wins!
(Interaction, 12PM)
William: I don't think I'll be able to get tickets for Astra's fan meet-and-greet. Scalpers probably gonna charge a million Dennies...
William: That's way too much! You'd need to work so many night shifts to save that up!
(Interaction with Jacob, 12PM)
Jacob: Hey dude, wanna to [sic] switch with me? You can take the dealership entrance. Barely any cars come through, and I'm dying of boredom.
William: Yeah, right. You just want to be at the main entrance so you can push your "Hollow Returners" on everyone, huh?
Jacob: Tsk, you caught me... I saw you trying to lure a few more passersby into becoming fans of Astra Yao. Ugh, it's [sic] feels even worse than losing money.
(Interaction, 6PM)
William: Feel free to explore Reverb Arena as you like — just please don't block the entrances.
William: Sigh, how long do I have to keep this up? I just wanna go home and catch Astra Yao's variety show...
(Interaction with Trendy Old Man, 12AM)
William: Excuse me, sir, are you here looking for your grandchild? It's pretty loud out here. Tell me what they look like, and I'll help you find them.
Trendy Old Man: Who said I was looking for someone? I'm here for the show and the drinks!
William: Oh... Well, right this way then...
(Interaction, Sat-Sun 6AM)
William: Keeping order, checking for suspicious individuals, checking Miss Astra's updates on my breaks... There's so much to do on the weekend!
William: *sigh*... When will the boss finally give me a raise?
(Interaction, Sat-Sun 12PM)
William: ...
He doesn't seem to be paying attention to the passersby at all. Instead, he continuously stares at the grocery store.
William: A full set of Astra Yao's merchandise... If I had enough money, I'd love to buy one...
(Interaction with Melina, Sat-Sun 6PM)
William: ...Hey, take this. Put it in your bag and don't let anyone see it.
Melina: What's in this black package? Could it be... Wait... are you setting me up?! I'm calling security!
William: I AM security! Relax, it's nothing shady — it's Miss Astra Yao's album and concert DVD!
William: Don't let Jacob see it, he'd be mad about my little tricks! I'm lending these to you for a week, hope you'll fall in love with Miss Astra Yao after watching them!
(Interaction with Jacob, Sat-Sun 12AM)
Jacob: Bro, I... *sob* I shouldn't have talked bad about your favorite, Astra Yao...
William: Bro! I... I shouldn't have said that the "The Hollow Returners Orchestra" has no fans!
Jacob: Bro!
William: Bro!
The two of them give off a strong scent of Nitro-Fuel, crying in each other's arms...
