Cannonball Coleman Conversation

Annoy: -2

Cool it, cat! You're getting on my nerves.

Apologize: 1

It's okay, man. We all flip out once in a while.

Brag: -4

I don't care if you're purple with green breath... you still can't swing like me!

Call Name: -4

Yeah? And you're a tone-deaf hyena!

Cheer Up: 2

Too true, man. The note is always bluer on the other side of the stage.

Complain: -3

You aren't actually bored, [Player]... you're just plain boring.

Compliment: 2

Why thank you, [Player]. I think you're a, um... "totally awesome person" too.

Cry: 2

Weep, my friend. Weep tears of sadness and joy. Then write a song about it.

Entertain: 2

All right! Whistle me another tune, cat! This time in A-minor!

Flirt: 3

Baby, you make me want to sing a melody of sighs.

Give Opinion: 1

I say potato, you say potato. You say tomato I say... aw shoot, this lyric doesn't work if you're just reading it.

Gossip: 1

It's a shame. That Lottie Cash girl... she's going to blow out her ears going to that dance club every night.

Insult: -5

One more cross word out of you and I'll stuff my saxophone down your windpipe.

Intimidate: -2

Get off your high horse, fool... you're about as scary as a melting snowman.

Jibba Jabba: 3

I hear you loud and clear. Now you're on the trolley!

Joke: 2

Heh heh. Other than my mother, you're the funniest cat I know.

Rude Gesture: -2

You think that's funny? Well you're right!

Talk about Aliens: 2

If I ever see an alien, I'm going to say: "Hey buddy, why don't you sing me a song?" If it can do that, it's cool with me.

Talk about Art: 3

What is art, cat? What on earth could it be? At the very least, my friend, it's a conversation between you and me! Yow!

Talk about Books: 2

I don't want to brag, but I had a book written about me last year. It was a biography called "Cannon Fire!"

Talk about Cars: -2

Automobiles are stealing away all the soul we got left in us, man. Keep away from them.

Talk about Computers: -3

What's this I hear about people making digital music? That kind of noise has no heart and soul!

Talk about Construction: -2

Do Daddy B and Lily G really think they can improve this city with taller buildings? Bah!

Talk about Cooking: 3

I cook, my friend. I cook like nobody's business in the kitchen and on the stage, I'm musical chef.

Talk about Crime: 0

I pulled some stunts in my day, but nothing crazy enough to end up in the slammer.

Talk about Dancing: 2

My rhythm section's on tour for a couple months. They'll make you want to get up and get down.

Talk about Exercise: 2

Tooting a saxophone for 3 hours a day, 5 nights a week, is more exercise than most people can handle in a month.

Talk about Games: 1

Chess is a good game for guys like me. Keeps the brain jumping like a bouncing bass-line.

Talk about Graveyards: 2

Some of our best players are resting in that graveyard over there. I try to step softly whenever I walk by.

Talk about Health: 1

I've been tooting on the same sax for 8 years and never once worried about germs.

Talk about Hobbies: 2

Music, music, and more music. That's what I dig. And I suppose I sometimes like to race dirt-bikes.

Talk about Home: 2

I keep a modest pad, [Player]. Where there's music in the air, you don't need no wallpaper.

Talk about Home Decor: 0

Here's a secret, cat. A musician's secret weapon is a good music stand. Look out for them. They're out there.

Talk about Hygiene: -3

I don't know how those greasy rock and rollers make it. You've got to keep squeaky clean if you want respect.

Talk about Jail: 1

Never been, never plan on going. Unless they invite me to play there I mean.

Talk about Jobs: 0

Rumor has it, there's a dynamite fiddler living out in the bayou who'll give you money if you can beat him in a contest.

Talk about Miniopolis: -2

I don't like that city of quartz, glass, and steel... I can't stand it! Give me stone and dirt, give me something real.

Talk about Movies: -1

I don't bother with watching films. The scene I see before my eyes is the one I like watching.

Talk about Music: 5

Master your music, master your instrument. Then forget all that nonsense and just play!

Talk about Nature: 2

Walking through a forest or staring at the sky fills me with awe and wonder. Then again, so do hotdogs.

Talk about Ninjas: 1

Oh yes. The rumors you hear are true. Ninjas roam the streets at night.

Talk about Politics: -2

I wrote a political song last year, but the melody was so sweet that the people I sang about loved singing it. Drat.

Talk about Rep Groups: 1

The Artsie motto is simple: You ain't bragging if you can back it up with skills.

Talk about Science: 2

It has been scientifically proven that listening to music raises your IQ. So I make the world smarter.

Talk about Shopping: -3

Worst thing about shopping is that music they pipe in the stores. Turns your ears to mush!

Talk about Simoleons: -3

If someone paid me to not spend money, I'd be rich because I'm so good at not having anything.

Talk about Sleeping: 1

All my best ideas come to me right before I fall asleep. I think it has something to do with being delirious.

Talk about Sports: 1

Stick ball in the streets, that's what I love. Did you ever play stick ball? Or did you just hit people with sticks?

Talk about TV: -3

I don't watch television anymore... you know why? Because it watches you back.

Talk about Theatre: 1

It's always been my dream to play a show at the Glasstown Performance Theater. Maybe this is the year.

Talk about Travel: 0

Being in a band is a great way to travel, sure, if you like seeing the whole world from the seat of a bus.

Talk about Work: 2

Playing music is my job. Before that I was a professional pizza scientist. Ha ha!

Talk about the Bayou: 0

That old mud hole? Nah, I keep away from it. Nothing to see out there.

Talk about the Carnival: 1

I traveled with a carnival for six years, back in my twenties. I was the opening act for a lion tamer. Rough times, but fun.

Talk about the Coffee Shop: 1

I like coffee, especially when I brew it myself. But if you're in a pinch I guess you could go to that joint in the city.

Talk about the Cosmos: 3

I wrote a cosmic 9 part jazz epic called "A Luna Supreme". It gives you the feeling of floating across the universe.

Talk about the Law: -2

The law... it gives with one hand and takes with the other.

Talk about the Lounge: -2

Sitting on stools, playing games all day in the dark... that's a rough scene man.

Talk about the Market: 1

I got my start playing music over at the market. All I had was a sax, an overturned hat, and a dream.

Talk about the Museum: 1

The last exhibit I saw there was called "Guitar Picks of the Poor and Famous". What a scene!

Talk about the Newspaper: 2

You won't meet a finer reporter than Mr. Broadsheet. Without him we'd be a bunch of ignorant fools.

Talk about the River: 1

Sometime I want to play a sax solo as calm and bubbly as the river. Not as dirty though. That thing is polluted!

Talk about the Supernatural: 2

There are more things in heaven and on earth than are dreamt of in your comic books.

Talk about the University: -2

I hope students realize that too much education will hurt their inner artist.

Talk about the Weather: 2

Doesn't matter what the weather is, man. I can write a song about the sun if it's shining, or the clouds if it's raining.

Talk about the World: 3

This planet is just a spaceship man, and we're all astronauts. And Miniopolis... it's the control room.

Tease: -3

That's low, man. My grandfather gave me this hat. And I think his grandmother gave it to him.

Tell a Bad Pun: 2

Ha ha, that's too much, cat! You're crazy.

Tell a Secret: 1

Secrets are like dangerous little melodies you hum to yourself but want to shout out loud.

Hug

I reserve hugs for people who impress me.

Kiss

Sorry, girl. These lips are for my horn.

Gift (Accept)

For me? Shoot. You're the best, [Player].

Gift (Reject)

No thanks, [Player]. I'm cool.

Errand (Accept)

Say man, I promised to deliver this old sax to [Sim]. You think you can do it?

Errand (Reject)

Sorry cat, but I haven't got a dang thing for you to do.

moveinacc

Sure my man, that sounds like a jumping plan. When do I move in?

Move In (Reject)

Thanks for the offer my man, but I already have a nice pad.

Silent Treatment

[Player], you've been cramping my style all day. Leave me alone.
