Trip! (AMY knocks on the front door.) (AMY knocks on the front door.) (Trip opens the front door.) TRIP Amy!! TRIP Ah I'm so happy you could make it! We haven't seen you in so long, how's it going? AMY good TRIP Yeah! (AMY hugs trip.) TRIP Wow, it's so great to see you after so long. TRIP Come on in! GRACE No, no, here we are! AMY hey! GRACE Amy, GRACE Hi! How are you? I'm so happy to see you after so long! AMY me to! GRACE Uh... GRACE Well, come in, make yourself at home... TRIP Whoops, I need to go close the door. GRACE Amy, seeing you again makes me remember the wonderful times we all used to have. H-mmm (happy smile sound) (Trip closes the front door.) TRIP Ha ha, yeah... AMY so how are things GRACE What do you... No, we're fine, everything's fine... GRACE (clears throat) (AMY picks up the advice ball.) (The advice ball reads, "Why Not") TRIP Oh that -- that's just a little joke advice giver toy thing that I like to consult now and then... (AMY shakes the advice ball.) (The advice ball reads, "Maybe Later") (AMY shakes the advice ball.) TRIP when I need a little guidance. Ha ha. GRACE His mother gave that to him. (The advice ball reads, "Could Be") (AMY shakes the advice ball.) (AMY puts down the advice ball.) TRIP Stocking stuffer, heh. TRIP (clears throat) TRIP So, yeah, I just realized! TRIP Amy, remember, it was almost exactly ten years ago, tonight, that you introduced us. TRIP Senior year of college! GRACE Oh... geez... -- (interrupted) AMY yeah! TRIP We really want to thank you for years and years of... GRACE Pain. TRIP Heh heh heh... Agony. GRACE Love. TRIP Uh, yeah, love, yeah, love. GRACE Huh, I think I forgot how well you two get along... TRIP I'm gonna fix us some drinks. TRIP Good news, I just fully loaded the bar, with the real quality stuff... only the best for my guests. AMY sorry i don't drink alchohol TRIP W -- wait, uh, uh -- we need drinks. TRIP What would you like? TRIP Let's have something fun, TRIP like sangria? TRIP Everybody tells me I fix the best drinks, so I'm sure you're gonna love this. AMY i would like juice TRIP Oh, come on, let's enjoy ourselves tonight...! GRACE Trip don't force your fancy drinks on her. GRACE Amy, you'd prefer a simple glass of juice, right? AMY yes GRACE Okay, Trip, that's what she wants! TRIP Alright, fine, fine... TRIP (little sigh) Excuse me for wanting to enjoy ourselves... TRIP Grace, maybe at least you'll drink with me? I'll make us something real nice, light on the alcohol, what do you say? GRACE I'm not in the mood to drink tonight. GRACE Just some mineral water for me. TRIP Great. GRACE (big sigh) GRACE Amy, you're not enjoying this are you? TRIP What? TRIP Here you are Grace, your drink is ready. GRACE Thank you. AMY oh i am enjoying this TRIP Anyway... TRIP Grace, come on, that kind of statement is not helpful... GRACE Trip, there's nothing wrong with disagreeing in front of our friend -- TRIP We're NOT disagreeing. TRIP We're -- we're -- we're not disagreeing. TRIP (frustrated sigh) Sheejus. TRIP Okay, well, I was worried there for a bit you were on Grace's side tonight, heh heh, heh. TRIP Oh, Amy, I thought you might like this photo I just put up from our recent trip to Italy. (Grace sips her Grace's drink.) GRACE Uhh, it's a beautiful picture of the Italian countryside, of course she'll like it! TRIP Grace, I know you don't like it, but our friend might. GRACE By the way, anybody, join me on the couch if you like. AMY okay grace (AMY sits on the couch.) TRIP N -- no, no, heh -- w -- wait... GRACE Amy, this is making you uncomfortable. See Trip, was it really worth it to fly us all the way to Italy so you could take that inane picture? GRACE (little sigh) I'll take the picture down later tonight before I go to bed. TRIP Grace...! TRIP (short petulant sigh) TRIP Amy, this trip to Italy was meant to be our second honeymoon. (AMY gets up from the couch.) GRACE Oh, was that what it was? Huh, I'm always the last to know. TRIP Grace, I wanted us to spend some time together...! AMY please don't argue TRIP Here you go. (AMY picks up a player's drink.) TRIP H -- hold on... (AMY sips her player's drink.) TRIP You think I'm... TRIP angry... TRIP Ho ho ho, ha, heh you're -- you're really joking around tonight, aren't you, ha ha ha... AMY you two have been arguing GRACE Ha, yeah, ha ha... (AMY sips her player's drink.) TRIP Ha ha, heh, never afraid to say anything that pops into your mind, ha heh heh... (AMY sips her player's drink.) GRACE Trip thinks carting me off to Europe will, how did you put it, thaw me out a little bit? TRIP uhh... -- (interrupted) (AMY sips her player's drink.) GRACE You know, ever since we got married, I can't help it, I'm forever buying new furniture and redecorating, (Grace sips her Grace's drink.) GRACE I -- I really enjoy it -- TRIP Yeah, it's in your blood, you grew up with this stuff. (Trip sips his Trip's drink.) GRACE Amy, now be honest with me, agree that this room just does not work! TRIP Grace, come on, what are you talking about? (AMY puts down a player's drink.) GRACE All day at work I design ads for stylish objects, like this couch, GRACE and then I think, I want to design it into my apartment -- TRIP I love it, this is a really exclusive couch, very few people own this couch! GRACE but... I'm wrong, I should have chosen a modest, simple love seat. TRIP Oh come on, a little love seat?! Jesus why can't you just be happy with this? This is fine! GRACE (frustrated sigh) TRIP Grace, everything's fine, no one is complaining about your decorating! GRACE No, she is just being courteous... this room is not -- TRIP Uhh, Grace, come on, people like it, you're the only one -- GRACE You know, Trip, if you hadn't convinced me to go into advertising, I could have painted that painting on the wall instead of buying it! TRIP You're never happy... TRIP Uhh, you're driving me insane! TRIP Your... goddamn decorating... TRIP You're never satisfied with anything! You're never happy, never ever satisfied with anything. GRACE (impatient sigh) Amy, can you believe this? GRACE (frustrated sigh) AMY please don't be angry with her trip GRACE Look, at this point, criticizing me is just going to make it really really bad! GRACE Goddamn second honeymoon... AMY im not criticizing you GRACE Trip, our whole marriage, you're so... controlling! -- (interrupted) GRACE Are -- what, what are you saying? TRIP Goddamn italy... TRIP I try to reach out to you, I try to be romantic with you, but you're cold, and distant! I do, I really try! GRACE Oh, yeah, yeah, right! TRIP Okay, you know what, Amy, TRIP I'm going to ask you something. GRACE Trip -- TRIP Grace, let me ask our guest a question. TRIP Amy, yes or no... TRIP Each person in a marriage is supposed to try really hard to be _in sync_ with the other, right? GRACE What? TRIP I mean, when you're married, -- (interrupted) AMY i guess so TRIP What...?! AMY yes TRIP Oh, alright... yeah... TRIP Uhh, look, it's obvious we're not happy, Grace! I'm not happy, you're not happy, and no matter how much I try, I can't make us happy! I don't know what to do, goddammit! GRACE Oh, I can't believe...! GRACE Uhh! Yeah, good, get away from me! AMY will he be alright? GRACE I can't take you anymore! GRACE Goddammit! GRACE uhh! AMY are you alright? GRACE Amy, I can't believe you have to see this... GRACE uhh... GRACE Look, maybe you should just leave... GRACE Oh, God... TRIP What? I can't hear you! AMY okay, i'll go if you want GRACE Amy, (annoyed sigh) Trip is just so... TRIP Oh, we're talking about me again, are we? GRACE What? TRIP Grace, even though you're now a creative director at work, and even though you redecorate the apartment all the time, the truth is... you're not an artist. GRACE Uhh...! TRIP I'm sorry, you're not. GRACE Amy, uhh... AMY and like you're any better trip GRACE No, please stop taking sides, it's just going to make it worse! GRACE No let's -- let's focus on us, our relationship. (AMY picks up a player's drink.) GRACE Trip, can't you see, it's the way you speak, the way you talk to me...! TRIP What, I'm not allowed to be angry? GRACE You tell me what to do, you don't listen. (AMY sips her player's drink.) TRIP Amy, I'm not telling her what to do, I'm trying to help her! (AMY sips her player's drink.) GRACE You know... uhh... TRIP Let's talk some more about us both. (AMY puts down a player's drink.) TRIP Grace, we don't -- we don't have to do this... things are okay, we can just -- GRACE Amy, I can't stand the pretending anymore... I can't take it! TRIP No, Grace, we can... I mean, come on, don't make it out to be so bad... GRACE Uhh... TRIP Amy, what is it, is there something about me? GRACE Let's talk some more about us, our relationship. TRIP It's so annoying... Grace, why is it that anytime I want to do something nice for you, you resist it? GRACE Trip... TRIP Like I always have to convince you? GRACE Amy, you know, we... uhh... AMY maybe because she wants to be TRIP It's just never easy with you, Grace, and it wears me down. AMY left alone GRACE (frustrated sigh) TRIP No, let's switch to talking about Grace. TRIP You know, heh... whenever we go to visit Grace's parents, she gets all stressed out. GRACE Uhh... TRIP She says she's afraid to visit.... I don't get it... her family is fabulous! The best! TRIP Let's keep our focus on Grace. TRIP Amy, look around this apartment. It's got everything anyone would ever want. But, Grace, oh no, she's never satisfied. GRACE Trip, ... ugh ... I'm so sick of this. AMY please don't argue TRIP Aha! GRACE Amy, you're saying I'm... angry? GRACE You know Trip, it's so annoying when you 'reminisce' about 'the early days'... TRIP What...? GRACE It was not a happy time, Trip. TRIP Oh my God... Amy, what... uhh... TRIP Grace, I know you're angry, but come on, don't... (frustrated sigh) AMY i'll let you two sort this out GRACE No let's -- let's focus on us, our relationship. TRIP No, Amy, -- (interrupted) TRIP Amy, where are you going? Don't hide in the kitchen, we need you out here! AMY n oyou don't TRIP Let's keep the focus on us, not just one person. TRIP You know, Grace, ever since I first proposed to you, almost ten years ago now... GRACE Trip... TRIP it's always been impossible to get you to just... just... feel happy...! GRACE Amy, Trip, I... we... uhh... TRIP Amy, hey, quit leaving the room! You can't start this mess and then leave us to fix it! AMY i started nothing TRIP You know, let's -- let's talk about Grace. AMY no let's not GRACE You know, anytime we talk about the past... especially college... I get this sharp pain in my stomach... TRIP Jesus, Grace... TRIP Amy, that's... (AMY sits on the couch.) GRACE Okay, goddammit, I can't do this anymore, just stop! GRACE Amy, I know what you're hinting at, okay?! GRACE about me... GRACE Do you two want to hear the honest truth? Huh? GRACE Amy, do you want that? AMY um uh... GRACE Trip, huh? -- (interrupted) GRACE No, Amy, just, yes or no, do you want the truth? AMY yes GRACE Trip? TRIP Yes...! GRACE Amy, I've actually been paying close attention to what you've been saying tonight. GRACE You've really been pushing me. GRACE And I wonder, are -- are you really my friend...? TRIP Grace! GRACE Amy, come on -- yes or no... GRACE Do you really think that... GRACE praising Trip... GRACE telling me I'm angry... GRACE and what you said about forgiving and forgetting... GRACE that I'm supposed to realize something about myself from all that? GRACE Is it supposed to add up to something meaningful, or... what? GRACE Is it? I just want a yes or a no. AMY i think i ought to go (AMY gets up from the couch.) GRACE Okay. GRACE Alright... look... (big sigh) AMY bye you two AMY hm? GRACE Amy, Everything's fine, we're not... uhh... we're fine... AMY no you two can't be TRIP Yeah... yeah. GRACE And there's no need to disagree or criticize us anymore... we're fine... AMY okay GRACE If -- if you need to go, you -- you know, that's fine... GRACE No, no more need to be nice, okay? GRACE Look, Amy, nothing's changed, we're fine... we'll see you out. AMY okau TRIP It's great you could come over... really...

I need help replacing the fonts. The use texture files, and the letters aren't aligned to a grid. Lining up the new font to the old one so they look right in the game is nearly impossible for me to do without some aid. They'd have to all be aligned to the bottom line, which I can't imagine how I'd do efficiently, and each letter must fit where the original was, which they don't line up that perfectly. How can I do this more easily than... God, I don't want to go letter by letter, pixel by pixel... I don't want to do a crap job, but I also don't want to spend that much time on this. Edit: This sort of looks like what I want, but it's too complicated to justify using for such a simple result: http://wotsit.thingy.com/haj/dc-font-to-texture.html |
