GRACE
Trip, when are you going to get rid of this?
TRIP
What, Grace... this?
(Amy knocks on the front door.)
(Amy knocks on the front door.)
GRACE
Yes, you know how I feel about it -- -- (interrupted)
AMY
hello?
TRIP
Uhp, she's here!
GRACE
What?! You told me it'd be an hour from now!
TRIP
No, she's supposed to be here now!
GRACE
God... 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...
AMY
bye you two
(Grace opens the front door.)
AMY
have a nice day
GRACE
So we'll... we'll call you later, or something.
AMY
okay
AMY
bye
TRIP
Night...
AMY

(AMY knocks on the front door.)
(AMY knocks on the front door.)
(Grace closes the front door.)
(AMY points to the elevator button.)
(AMY points to the elevator button.)
AMY

MegaScientifical:
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

Well -- well, Trip can get overly obsessed.
GRACE
So, Mark, I'm hoping you can help me understand where I went wrong with my new decorating, ha ha.
TRIP
Oh, Grace, let's not do that.
MARK
THE BAR IS PUNY
TRIP
Wha... uh...
GRACE
Oh, Trip, he's just teasing you... It's good, we all need that once in a while.
MARK
NO I MEAN IT
GRACE
So, about my decorating...
GRACE
(little sigh) With this room I was trying for a kind of post modern style...
TRIP
Well yeah, I think that comes across.
MARK
YOU SHOULD'VE LIVED IN TREE
GRACE
Oh, well...
GRACE
(little sigh) So I tried for a certain kind of style in this room...
GRACE
but it is clearly just not happening. This is a mess.
TRIP
uhh...
MARK
I ENJOY LOCOMOTIVES
GRACE
Really?
TRIP
See, Grace, you're the only one unhappy with your decorating.
GRACE
Oh well, I guess I'm wrong then. Ha ha. Thanks for clearing that up. -- (interrupted)
MARK
I HATE THIS ROOM
GRACE
Look I already know how you feel about my decorating, let's just... move on from that topic of conversation.
(Trip shakes the advice ball.)
MARK
LET'S DISCUSS DUCKS
TRIP
Oh, well...
(MARK gets up from the couch.)
TRIP
Heh heh, Mark, seeing you again makes me remember the good times we all used to have.
GRACE
Yes...
TRIP
Hey, I just realized something.

We have to celebrate! Tonight's a special night!

Heh -- it's not a good idea, heh.

Ha ha, ha, this -- (interrupted)
MARK
WHY THE MAGIC EIGHT BALL
TRIP
Oh that -- that's just a little joke advice giver toy thing that I like to consult now and then...
TRIP
when I need a little -- (interrupted)
MARK
CAN I SEE IT
GRACE
You know Trip, I don't think your little advice ball looks so good on the bar.
TRIP
What? It's like, a funny bar toy.
GRACE
It's lame. It's a crappy piece of plastic sitting next to your fancy crystal roostertail glasses.
TRIP
(little sigh)
GRACE
So, Mark, -- (interrupted)

MARK
I WANT JUICE
TRIP
Oh, come on, let's enjoy ourselves tonight, this wine will be so good. So good.
MARK
NO!!!
TRIP
Top of the line, very rare, very difficult to acquire --
GRACE
God Trip, you are such a wine snob. Just like my dad.
MARK
I WANT JUICE!!!
TRIP
I'll take that as a compliment. Mark, what do you say?
GRACE
Mark, maybe you'd like some juice, or a mineral water?
MARK
JUICE
TRIP
Oh come on...
MARK
YES JUICE
TRIP
Yeah, no, we need to open this wine! Our friend is here, we're going to enjoy ourselves, that's all there is to it!
TRIP
I've been dying to try this Bordeaux for a long time, this is the perfect opportunity --
GRACE
(frustrated sigh)
MARK
NO JUICE
GRACE
That's not our anniversary wine is it?
GRACE
That's not the Bordeaux we saved from our wedding, that we were going to drink on our tenth wedding anniversary, RIGHT?!
(MARK picks up the advice ball.)
(The advice ball reads, "No")
TRIP
Whoops.
TRIP
Uhh, you're driving me insane!
MARK
MAGIC BALL SAYS NO
GRACE
Ahh, no, I'm the one going insane!
(MARK shakes the advice ball.)
(MARK puts down the advice ball.)

Our anniversary wine!
TRIP
Huh? What are you saying to me?
MARK
MY VISION IS AUGMENTE
GRACE
Alright, you know what, Mark,
GRACE
I'm going to ask you something.
TRIP
Grace --
GRACE
Trip, let me ask our guest a question.
(MARK hugs grace.)
GRACE
Mark, yes or no...
GRACE
If there was a thing about yourself you didn't like, but your husband or wife likes it, is it still okay to hide it?
TRIP
What?
GRACE
I mean, if your spouse _likes_ something about you, that you don't like, are you allowed to hide that? -- (interrupted)
MARK
I AM INCAPABLE OF EMOTION
GRACE
Look, don't bother answering, I don't need to hear it!
GRACE
Trip, I can't take this denial anymore... You're suppressing yourself, you're so... fake! I hate it!
TRIP
Oh, Christ...!
TRIP
Uhh! Yeah, go on, go away!
TRIP
I can't stand frigging looking at you!
TRIP
Goddammit, Grace!
MARK
IS THE LOO BEHIND THAT DOOR
GRACE
Oh, God!!
GRACE
uhh!
GRACE
Mark, -- (interrupted)
MARK
HELLO MORTAL
GRACE
Trip, you're -- you're just so...
TRIP
Oh, we're talking about me again, are we?
GRACE
What?
GRACE
Trip, it's your fault -- ten years ago, freshly married and just out of college, you convinced me to go into advertising, instead of art!
TRIP
What?
MARK
MELONS ARE VERY NICE
TRIP
Okay, Mark, you know what? I think you should leave.
GRACE
Uhh...
MARK
WHAT NO
TRIP
Mark, come on, you've got to go.
(MARK sits on the couch.)
MARK
NO BUGGER OFF
(MARK gets up from the couch.)
MARK

(MARK knocks on the front door.)
(MARK opens the front door.)
GRACE
Uhh, I can't believe this...
