Hey, you're back! So how'd it go? |
| 2 |
|
qst700605_msg0002 |
84 |
That's roughly what happened. |
| 3 |
|
qst700605_msg0003 |
84 |
I'm sorry we couldn't have been
more help, lad. |
| 4 |
|
qst700605_msg0004 |
84 |
Nah, it's fine. It's not your fault
anyways. |
| 5 |
|
qst700605_msg0005 |
84 |
It just proves my invention needs more
work. This was just a prototype! |
| 6 |
|
qst700605_msg0006 |
84 |
But I guess it'll be a bit longer before
I can make that medicine for her... |
| 7 |
|
qst700605_msg0007 |
84 |
Medicine? What now? |
| 8 |
|
qst700605_msg0008 |
84 |
Waaaaaaaaiiiit!!! |
| 9 |
|
qst700605_msg0009 |
84 |
Ever so sorry, but would you mind if
I borrowed a moment of your time? |
| 10 |
|
qst700605_msg0010 |
84 |
Um...sure...? |
| 11 |
|
qst700605_msg0011 |
84 |
I couldn't help but overhear the word
"invention," you see. |
| 12 |
|
qst700605_msg0012 |
84 |
Might we attribute this invention to
your esteemed persons? |
| 13 |
|
qst700605_msg0013 |
84 |
Oh, no, not us. That honor goes to
this boy here. |
| 14 |
|
qst700605_msg0014 |
84 |
What's that?! This stripling built it?! |
| 15 |
|
qst700605_msg0015 |
84 |
...Who's this geezer? |
| 16 |
|
qst700605_msg0016 |
84 |
An excellent question, my dear boy! |
| 17 |
|
qst700605_msg0017 |
84 |
It is I, the greatest inventor that
Torna has ever known! A man known
only as...Gideon. |
| 18 |
|
qst700605_msg0018 |
84 |
Um...I wasn't asking you... |
| 19 |
|
qst700605_msg0019 |
84 |
Now, that's entirely besides the point.
Gideon has noticed your talent, young
man. Of that, you should be thankful! |
| 20 |
|
qst700605_msg0020 |
84 |
He's not even listening... |
| 21 |
|
qst700605_msg0021 |
84 |
What is your name, boy? |
| 22 |
|
qst700605_msg0022 |
84 |
M...Marcus. What about it? |
| 23 |
|
qst700605_msg0023 |
84 |
Marvellous! Well then, from this day
forth, Marcus, I would like to take you
under my wing! How about that, eh? |
| 24 |
|
qst700605_msg0024 |
84 |
What, you want to teach me stuff?
Nah, thanks. I'm not interested. |
| 25 |
|
qst700605_msg0025 |
84 |
Good heavens! Are you quite sure?
Why, I can think of dozens of children
who would jump at such a chance! |
| 26 |
|
qst700605_msg0026 |
84 |
Go ask those other children then.
I don't want to. |
| 27 |
|
qst700605_msg0027 |
84 |
Wait. Let me step in for a moment here. |
| 28 |
|
qst700605_msg0028 |
84 |
Pardon? |
| 29 |
|
qst700605_msg0029 |
84 |
Marcus, look at it this way. |
| 30 |
|
qst700605_msg0030 |
84 |
Ultimately, you want to perfect your
machine, yes? |
| 31 |
|
qst700605_msg0031 |
84 |
Does it matter how you go about
doing that? Isn't what matters that
you succeed? |
| 32 |
|
qst700605_msg0032 |
84 |
Ah! |
| 33 |
|
qst700605_msg0033 |
84 |
I think it would be best for you learn
the skills you need from this man, and
then bring your goal to fruition. |
| 34 |
|
qst700605_msg0034 |
84 |
That is, if you feel you can tolerate
his eccentric ramblings... |
| 35 |
|
qst700605_msg0035 |
84 |
But I think this is well within the
realms of your ability, don't you? |
| 36 |
|
qst700605_msg0036 |
84 |
Yeah, yeah, I get it already! |
| 37 |
|
qst700605_msg0037 |
84 |
So... |
| 38 |
|
qst700605_msg0038 |
84 |
Yeah, I'll do it. I'll give a go! |
| 39 |
|
qst700605_msg0039 |
84 |
If this weirdo knows how to build
stuff, he can teach me for all he's
worth! |
| 40 |
|
qst700605_msg0040 |
84 |
I'm not gonna let one stupid little
failure get me down, nu-uh! |
| 41 |
|
qst700605_msg0041 |
84 |
That's a good lad. If only everyone
had your spirit! |
| 42 |
|
qst700605_msg0042 |
84 |
You sure about this? That was pretty
reckless, getting him fired up like that. |
| 43 |
|
qst700605_msg0043 |
84 |
It'll be fine. |
| 44 |
|
qst700605_msg0044 |
84 |
He learned a valuable lesson today:
that failure paves the way to success. |
| 45 |
|
qst700605_msg0045 |
84 |
If you've risen up from the jaws of
defeat once, you can survive in almost
any environment after that. |
| 46 |
|
qst700605_msg0046 |
84 |
And that's not all. |
| 47 |
|
qst700605_msg0047 |
84 |
Oh? |
| 48 |
|
qst700605_msg0048 |
84 |
He also reminded me of something
I'd almost forgotten. |
| 49 |
|
qst700605_msg0049 |
84 |
That anyone, if they believe in
themselves enough, has the power
to overcome any hardship. |
| 50 |
|
qst700605_msg0050 |
84 |
When you're an adult, it's easy to lose
sight of that simple fact. |
| 51 |
|
qst700605_msg0051 |
84 |
...Is that a lesson you had to learn? |
| 52 |
|
qst700605_msg0052 |
84 |
Maybe, maybe not... |
| 53 |
|
qst700605_msg0053 |
84 |
Meanie. |
| 54 |
|
qst700605_msg0054 |
84 |
Anyway, I think we're done here. |
| 55 |
|
qst700605_msg0055 |
84 |
Time we made a move. See you,
Marcus. I'm sure we'll cross paths
again! |
| 56 |
|
qst700605_msg0056 |
84 |
Yeah, buh-bye! Thanks for everything! |
