Talk about Aliens: -2

Daddy Bigbucks likes to encourage our search for aliens because it takes attention off him.

Art should have a message like "Love each other" or "Daddy B is a rotten pig-face." Something like that.

You have to read to understand, and understand to learn, and learn to live, and read to... wait, I'll start over.

Killing the environment and poisoning us! The worst thing to happen since humans learned to walk.

Talk about Computers: -2

One of these days nothing will be real. Everything will be run by a computer. You, me, the whole world!

If you study cooking, my child, you will stand a better chance of making good baking mixes.

I like movies with sad endings. You can't be too optimistic in this crazy world.

Talk about Music: 1

In the old days we had protest songs that were smart and fun to sing. These days they're just fun to sing.

You don't know what you've got until it's gone. So if I want to praise nature, does that mean it doesn't exist?

Talk about the Lounge: -2

Don't poison your mind with the promise of cash rewards! We've got enough to worry about already.

Talk about the Market: 3

It's a perfect example of community: Friends buying from each other, selling to each other, and ripping each other off.

The museum is one of our most important cultural centers. And by important I mean "ignored".

Didn't your mom teach you it's not polite to point?

Tell a Bad Pun: 2

Now now, [Player]. Why did you have to go and say a thing like that? Shame on you!

Tell a Secret: -2

Shush now! If it's not worth saying aloud, it's not worth saying at all!

Gift (Accept)

For me? Bless you.

Gift (Reject)

You should know better than to burden me with cheap material goods!

Errand (Accept)

[Player], could you deliver this blanket to [Sim] for me? Thank you, dear.

Errand (Reject)

I'm sorry, [Player], but I don't have any errands for you at this time.

Move In (Reject)

Thank you very much for the offer, but I'm fine where I am.

Silent Treatment

Child, I can't stand the sight of you for one second!
