Heres what happened
i played

"lies" will do that too.

MegaScientifical:

When first entering, any of the insults which usually just make them shocked will instantly make them mad at you. This includes JUST entering as well. You can actually slip in while he shuts the door, and the game will continue even though Trip hates you.

I'm thinking of switching one of the songs with this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfHkf2lCL2o It's purely instrumental except for some non-dialog shouting.

Someone should take apart the coding and see what makes them tick

Java code and stuff. I'm curious if the best Minecraft Modders might be able to go in there and update the thing. I for one want so I don't have to restart every time I play it, especially since it disables Aero whenever it turns on.

GRACE
Trip, when are you going to get rid of this?

TRIP
What, Grace... this?

GRACE
Yes, you know how I feel about it --

TRIP
I know I know I'll do it right now, alright?!

GRACE
You know I've had to ask you about this several --

TRIP
Get off my back!  I'll get rid of it in just a minute!

GRACE
Fine, Trip... fine...

(Bob knocks on the front door.)

(Bob knocks on the front door.)

TRIP
Oh, he's here!

GRACE
What?! You said he's coming an hour from now!

TRIP
No, he's right on time!

GRACE
Trip...!

(Trip opens the front door.)

TRIP
Bob!!

TRIP
Hey!   God  it's been so long since we've seen you!    -- (interrupted)

BOB
Hi

TRIP
Ha ha, hi!

TRIP
Come -- (interrupted)

GRACE
No, no, here we are!

GRACE
Bob,

GRACE
Hi!  How are you?  God it's been a while!

(BOB hugs trip.)

BOB
I'm great

TRIP
Yeah, how -- how are you doing?

GRACE
Uh, I just asked him that... -- (interrupted)

BOB
whoops

GRACE
Aw, H-mmm (happy smile sound) -- (interrupted)

GRACE
Uh...

GRACE
So, come in, make yourself at home...

TRIP
Huh, I'll close the door. 

TRIP
Bob,  let me get you a drink.

(Trip closes the front door.)

TRIP
Good news, I just fully loaded the bar, with the real quality stuff... only the best for my guests.

BOB
That would be great

TRIP
Y -- yeah, yeah, time for a drink. -- (interrupted)

TRIP
How does a martini sound?

BOB
Good

TRIP
Perfect!

GRACE
No no,

GRACE
Bob,  maybe you'd like some juice, or a mineral water?

TRIP
Oh come on...

BOB
I want martini

TRIP
Aha!  Great!  Drinks comin' right up!

GRACE
(little sigh) You know Trip, he gets such pleasure from making fancy drinks for everybody.

TRIP
Grace, I know what you want, but I'll ask anyway...  what would you like to drink?

GRACE
Um,  I'd like a simple glass of Chardonnay, thank you.

TRIP
Oh, Chardonnay!  Sure thing.

(BOB picks up the phone.)

(BOB puts down the phone.)

(BOB picks up the phone.)

TRIP
Oh,    Bob,  take -- (interrupted)

(BOB puts down the phone.)

(BOB picks up the phone.)

(BOB puts down the phone.)

(BOB picks up the phone.)

(BOB puts down the phone.)

TRIP
Oh yeah,  let me tell you about work. I just brought in a new account  - print ads for a line of bridal fashion.

BOB
Cool

TRIP
Here's your wine, Grace.

GRACE
(little sigh)

GRACE
Bob,  come over here and sit on the couch with me.

TRIP
No, hold on.  Now,      Bob,  what does this picture make you think of?

GRACE
Oh, Trip, don't put our friend on the spot like that...

TRIP
In a word, what does this say to you?

GRACE
Oh, god...    Bob,  come over here, make yourself comfortable.

BOB
Okay

TRIP
Mmm... no...

GRACE
I like that, that's -- (interrupted)

GRACE
Trip, darling, your obsession with that photo of yours is making our friend uncomfortable.

TRIP
uhh...

TRIP
Romance... it says... romance...

GRACE
(big sigh)

GRACE
Bob,  you're not -- (interrupted)

BOB
Drink

(BOB picks up a player's drink.)

TRIP
Oh, yeah, you know, I -- I think I'll fix us another drink in not too long...

BOB
Thanks

TRIP
Anyway...

TRIP
Grace, come on, it's not helping things for you to say that...

GRACE
Trip, there's nothing wrong with disagreeing in front of our friend --

(BOB puts down a player's drink.)

TRIP
We're NOT disagreeing. 

TRIP
We're -- we're -- we're not disagreeing. 

(BOB sits on the couch.)

TRIP
(frustrated sigh) Sheejus.

(BOB gets up from the couch.)

TRIP
Well, we're all friends here, uh...

GRACE
You know, ever since we got married, I can't help it, I'm forever buying new furniture and redecorating,

GRACE
I -- I really enjoy it --

(Trip sips his Trip's drink.)

(Grace sips her Grace's drink.)

TRIP
Yeah, it's in your blood, you grew up with this stuff.

GRACE
Bob,  now be honest with me, agree that this room just does not work!

TRIP
Grace, come on, what are you talking about?

GRACE
All day at work I design ads for stylish objects, like this armoire,

GRACE
and then I think, I want to design it into my apartment --

TRIP
I love it, this is a really exclusive armoire, very few people own this armoire!

GRACE
but... I don't know what I was thinking, this is a monstrosity!

TRIP
Oh come on! Jesus why can't you just be happy with this?  This is fine!

GRACE
(frustrated sigh)

BOB
I think you two are very different

GRACE
Ah, thank you, I knew you'd give me an honest answer --

TRIP
Uhh, it's just decorating for Christ's sake, you're turning this into some big issue --

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!

(BOB picks up a player's drink.)

TRIP
(short petulant sigh)

TRIP
Yeah and with our income cut in half, we'd be living in some basement apartment in Queens, as if you could ever handle that...

(BOB sips his player's drink.)

TRIP
Uhh, you're driving me insane!

(BOB puts down a player's drink.)

TRIP
Your goddamn art... insanity...

TRIP
It's obvious why you keep redecorating -- you're spoiled, you could never live without all this stuff!  That's why you redecorate!

GRACE
(impatient sigh)     Bob,  can you believe this?

GRACE
(frustrated sigh)

TRIP
Yeah,    Bob,  yeah...

TRIP
I can guess what you're about to say...

TRIP
You've been criticizing me ever since you got here!

BOB
No

TRIP
What?  I -- w - what are you saying to me, what?

GRACE
Basement apartment in Queens...

GRACE
You don't think I could cut it as an artist!  Do you!  I know it, you don't think I can!

TRIP
Oh, Jesus...!

TRIP
Your... goddamn decorating...

TRIP
You're never satisfied with anything!  You're never happy, never ever satisfied with anything.

GRACE
Oh, God...!

TRIP
Alright, you know what,     Bob,

TRIP
I'm going to ask you something.

BOB
I think you don't satisfy your wife

GRACE
Trip --

TRIP
Grace, let me ask our guest a question.

TRIP
Bob,  yes or no...

TRIP
If one person in a marriage gives the other advice, and that advice is taken -- years later, can you get blamed for that?

GRACE
What?

TRIP
Is it okay to get blamed for giving advice that was taken, like, ten years ago? 

TRIP
Yes or no.

BOB
No

GRACE
What...?!

GRACE
Oh, yes, that's fine... that's fine...

GRACE
Goddammit!  How can I be happy when you act this way, Trip?  Huh? I'm miserable!

BOB
Join me on the couch

(BOB sits on the couch.)

TRIP
Oh, come on...!

TRIP
Uhh!  Yeah, go on, get away from me!

TRIP
I can't even frigging look at you.

TRIP
Oh...  stuff!

(BOB gets up from the couch.)

(BOB picks up a player's drink.)

(BOB sips his player's drink.)

TRIP
uhh!

(BOB puts down a player's drink.)

TRIP
Bob,  -- (interrupted)

GRACE
Oh, God!!

GRACE
Bob,  from what you said before, about marriage... I think that shows us something about Trip.

TRIP
Oh ho, so we're talking about me, are we?

GRACE
What?

GRACE
Bob,  it's time that Trip finally just admits that our marriage --

TRIP
Grace, don't, no, you don't need to --

GRACE
Admits that our marriage is not --

TRIP
Stop it, stop it!     (annoyed sigh)

BOB
You can work it out

GRACE
Uhh...! God...!

TRIP
Let's keep talking about Grace.

GRACE
You know, Trip, whenever I really try to talk honestly about things, you...

GRACE
 you don't want to hear it!

TRIP
What?

GRACE
Bob,  I think I'm the only one who is trying to be the most honest here.

TRIP
  Uhh...

BOB
yeah

GRACE
Yes?

TRIP
Look, you're doing it again, you're putting all this on me...

GRACE
No let's -- let's focus on us, our relationship.

GRACE
You know what's so annoying, is when you pretend to be all 'romantic'!

TRIP
What...?

GRACE
Trip, it is such an act!

TRIP
  Oh my God...    Bob,  what... uhh...

(BOB picks up a martini glass 1.)

TRIP
Bob,  come on, I don't feel like fixing drinks at this moment!

(BOB puts down a martini glass 1.)

(BOB picks up the red wine bottle.)

(BOB puts down the red wine bottle.)

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 -- (interrupted)

(BOB picks up the red wine bottle.)

(BOB puts down the red wine bottle.)

GRACE
God,     Bob,  I'm getting really tired of talking about Trip's stuff, God...

(BOB picks up a martini glass 1.)

(BOB puts down a martini glass 1.)

(BOB picks up a martini glass 1.)

(BOB puts down a martini glass 1.)

GRACE
 (frustrated sigh)

(BOB picks up a player's drink.)

(BOB sips his player's drink.)

(BOB sips his player's drink.)

(BOB puts down a player's drink.)

GRACE
Look, let's talk about Trip now. -- (interrupted)

(BOB picks up the white wine bottle.)

GRACE
Bob,  (frustrated sigh)

BOB
what

GRACE
Let's talk some more about Trip.

GRACE
Damn it, Trip, you and my parents are always planning these stupid trips I have to go on..

(BOB puts down the white wine bottle.)

(BOB picks up a Trip's drink.)

TRIP
They're vacations! Expensive ones at that!

(BOB sips his Trip's drink.)

(BOB puts down a Trip's drink.)

GRACE
Of course nobody thinks to ask me what I want. -- (interrupted)

GRACE
All this stuff...  mmm... Having all this money makes us so happy.  We're so happy, aren't we Trip?

(BOB picks up the advice ball.)

(The advice ball reads, "Perhaps Soon")

TRIP
Jesus, what do you want! Now you're unhappy because we're too well off?

(BOB puts down the advice ball.)

TRIP
Bob,  isn't it -- isn't that ridiculous?

BOB
no

GRACE
No?

GRACE
Bob,  thank you. That helps me. Trip, see, I don't want all this stuff!

TRIP
(annoyed sigh)

(BOB comforts trip.)

TRIP
No, uhh...    Bob,  what I need is to figure out what hell is going here...

GRACE
Let's talk some more about Trip.

(BOB picks up the brass bull.)

GRACE
Uhh, that brass bull... it's just so infuriating...

(BOB puts down the brass bull.)

TRIP
What?

GRACE
How you put that goddamn 'gift' on display in our own living room!!!

TRIP
Uhh...

(BOB picks up a trinket 1.)

TRIP
No, you're -- look, you -- you're really -- you're really reading into things here, Grace...   (frustrated sigh)

GRACE
(frustrated sigh)

TRIP
Let's keep the focus on us, not just one person.

(BOB puts down a trinket 1.)

GRACE
I get so upset when I think about it... God, I regret it so much...

(BOB picks up a trinket 5.)

(BOB puts down a trinket 5.)

TRIP
What?

GRACE
Why did I let you convince me to give up painting?

BOB
All these are so negative

TRIP
Oh, Christ...  -- (interrupted)

GRACE
No?

TRIP
Thank you, you disagree, that helps us! Grace, see, you've twisted this all up, and you're acting like your whole goddamn life is over already!

GRACE
(frustrated sigh)

GRACE
Let's keep the focus on us, our relationship.

TRIP
Grace, even though you're now a creative director at work,

TRIP
 the truth is... you're not an artist.

GRACE
Uhh...!

TRIP
I'm sorry, you're not.

BOB
You two are unhappy but therapy

GRACE
Ah!

TRIP
Bob,  you're saying I'm... depressed? 

TRIP
You know what's sad...  all this wasted time and energy -- (interrupted)

BOB
Perhaps

TRIP
Look, I can't talk about 'art' anymore, it's so draining...

GRACE
(frustrated sigh)

(BOB picks up a Trip's drink.)

(BOB sips his Trip's drink.)

(BOB puts down a Trip's drink.)

TRIP
Okay, that's it, no more of this bullstuff!!

TRIP
Bob,  I know what you're hinting at...

TRIP
about me...

TRIP
about art...

TRIP
Do you two want the truth?  Huh? 

TRIP
Bob,  do you want to hear it? 

BOB
yes

TRIP
Grace?

GRACE
Yes...! -- (interrupted)

TRIP
Grace, huh?

GRACE
Yes...!

TRIP
Bob,  see I've actually been paying close attention to what you've been saying.

TRIP
You've really been pushing me tonight.

TRIP
And I wonder, are you really my friend or not.

GRACE
Trip!

BOB
I am

TRIP
Bob,  Quit interrupting me, let me speak!

TRIP
Bob,  come on -- yes or no...

TRIP
Do you really think that...

TRIP
telling me I'm depressed...

TRIP
but especially what you said about giving advice to your wife...

TRIP
that I'm supposed to realize something about myself from all that?

TRIP
Is what you've said tonight supposed to add up somehow, to something?

TRIP
Is it?  I just want a yes or no.

BOB
yes

TRIP
Alright.

TRIP
Grace, I know you want to be an artist.

TRIP
But I could never be married to you if you were. 

GRACE
What?

BOB
why?

TRIP
I can't... I -- I just can't...

GRACE
But Trip --

TRIP
When I married you, see, I was sure I could convince you to give it up, to -- to go into advertising.

GRACE
Uhh...

TRIP
And -- and I did it, and it worked.

TRIP
But now... I -- I don't know, Grace...

TRIP
(big sigh) I don't know...

BOB
why don't you want her to artist?

GRACE
uhh...

GRACE
Oh my God...!

TRIP
Bob,  I --

GRACE
I'm going to give you the truth too, Trip.

TRIP
What?!

GRACE
I painted this.

TRIP
Bullstuff.

GRACE
I am an artist, Trip, forget you.

(BOB comforts grace.)

TRIP
You've been secretly painting?  When --

GRACE
Everytime you go on a goddamn business trip, I paint.

TRIP
Jesus --

GRACE
So don't EVER give me any more of your 'you could never be an artist' crap!!

BOB
Give her a chance, she's good

GRACE
uhh...

(BOB comforts grace.)

TRIP
uhh...

(BOB sits on the couch.)

TRIP
Jesus...!

GRACE
Okay,    Bob,  Trip, I have one more thing to say...

(BOB gets up from the couch.)

TRIP
Again?!

(BOB picks up a player's drink.)

(BOB sips his player's drink.)

GRACE
Trip, I --

(BOB sits on the couch.)

GRACE
I let you stop me from being an artist.

TRIP
You let me --

GRACE
I was afraid, Trip okay?

GRACE
I -- I admit it.

GRACE
I didn't know if -- if I could do it, be a real artist...

BOB
Why were you afraid

GRACE
And I've been using you as an excuse for why I didn't do it.

(BOB sips his player's drink.)

GRACE
uhh...

TRIP
uhh...

BOB
why

TRIP
Jesus...!

(BOB sips his player's drink.)

TRIP
This changes everything...

GRACE
Yeah.

GRACE
You finally admitted it -- you just don't want me to be an artist...

BOB
let her paint

(BOB gets up from the couch.)

TRIP
You... you really have to be an artist...

TRIP
I prevented you from being an artist...

GRACE
No, I -- I let you do it...

(BOB sips his player's drink.)

GRACE
Bob,  we...

TRIP
Bob,  I --

(BOB puts down a player's drink.)

(BOB picks up a Trip's drink.)

TRIP
Look, we -- we need to talk...

GRACE
Yeah.

TRIP
Bob,  Thanks for coming over, you... I think you helped us.

(BOB sips his Trip's drink.)

(BOB puts down a Trip's drink.)

(BOB hugs grace.)

(Trip opens the front door.)

TRIP
And no,    Bob,  you don't need to say anything more...

BOB
bye

GRACE
Bye.  Thanks.

(BOB hugs trip.)

(Trip closes the front door.)

BOB
AAWE YEAH
