Cynthia Braintrust Conversation

Annoy: -3

You bug me even more than the insect exhibit!

Apologize: 2

OK. But you should curb that viper's tongue of yours!

Brag: 0

If you're fishing for compliments, you need better bait.

Call Name: -1

Oh, please, I've been called worse in the parrot house.

Cheer Up: 3

Thanks. Sometimes I don't feel very appreciated.

Complain: -2

Complaining never works. If you want something to change, take charge!

Compliment: -1

I've been around snakes enough to know a forked tongue when I see one.

Cry: -1

You get upset rather suddenly, don't you?

Entertain: 2

You're more fun than a barrel of monkeys, and I speak from experience.

Flirt: 3

Oh you animal! Tee hee!

Give Opinion: 0

You're welcome to your opinion, you're just not welcome to express it.

Gossip: 2

Goodness! We'd isolate an animal for doing something like that.

Insult: -4

Oh yeah? Want to work at the zoo? They're short one warthog!

Intimidate: -3

If the lions don't scare me, why would you?

Jibba Jabba: 3

Very good! Did you know that chimps were the first simians to use jibba-jabba?

Joke: -2

Not even the hyenas would laugh at that one.

Rude Gesture: -6

I've seen better manners than yours in the ape house.

Our world is probably as strange to Aliens as theirs is to us. So I say kill 'em.

Stay away from the monkeys when they're feeling creative!

I've built up quite a nature library. If only I had time to read any of it!

Talk about Cars: 0

We banned cars from the Island long ago.

Talk about Computers: 1

I have a computer at the Lab, it's just tough to keep the mouse away from the Velocirooster!

I'm not surprised those monkeys did a good job on the construction, they're pretty agile creatures.

Talk about Cooking: -2

Ugh! Don't say the word "hot dog" in my company ever again!

There are no criminals in the animal kingdom. Except for raccoons, of course.

My exercise routine mimics the animals. You know, stretching, climbing... Chasing cars.

I really love games, especially turtle tag, even though it tends to be slow.

Talk about Graveyards: -1

I wouldn't want to be buried in a pet cemetary.

Overcrowding can make animals unhealthy. So don't own too many.

The lab is my home more than my home is.

Talk about Home Decor: 0

I wouldn't have a houseplant that animals couldn't eat safely.

The city is no place for wild beasts. It's too dangerous for them!

Talk about Ninjas: -2

The ninja thinks she's invisible in the dark, but the big cats see her just fine.

Politics is hard for animals. They can have a vocal vote but not a show of hands.

I'm not in any rep group. Maybe I could start my own... the Splicies? Nah.

Anything that uses experimental animals isn't science as far as I'm concerned!

My work is my life and my life is my work. The animals need me!

Talk about the Bayou: -2

Once owned a pet alligator, but he got away from me when I took him on a trip to the Bayou. I miss him.

Talk about the Carnival: -2

I can't go to carnivals. Mole-whacking games are so inhumane!

Nothing prepares me for a day with animals like stopping at the coffee shop first thing in the morning!

Do you think there are entire planets filled with talking animals? I hope so.

One thing about the law of the jungle is that no one gets off on a technicality.

I think their business would pick up if they hired a real monkey to deal cards.

I hate nature museums! The stuffed animals look so bored!

Newspapers provide a vital service. Ask any parakeet.

That's not a secret. That's a rumor! And a darn mean one too!

I... I can't, um,

Kiss

Oh my, uh, no... no thank you. I'm just not very good at that.

Gift (Accept)

For me? Wow! I'm going to take this home and investigate it throroughly!

Gift (Reject)

Thanks, but no thanks. I have no use for that.

Errand (Accept)

Say, would you deliver this vial to [Sim]? Be very careful, it's fragile.

Errand (Reject)

Sorry. Nothing for you to do right now.

Move In (Reject)

No thanks, [Player]. I'm perfectly content where I am.

Silent Treatment

You're an animal, [Player], but not the kind I like. Leave me alone!
