I guess the sprites for Trip and Grace aren't just BMP's that I can just edit.
Shame, I wanted to put a 'stash on Trip. :c

Holy stuff, I actually managed to break the game. I think it had to do with like kissing them, then answering the phone while they were stunned after I said Joking. They won't respond to anything now. forget.

HELLO. I AM GENGHIS KHAN.

Wait, when there's only a tiny bit left in your drink, can you still drink it? If so, I'm soooo forgeted that I gotta replace soooo many textures I already replaced.

GRACE
Oh, I wanted to say hello --

TRIP
No no, come on, we're entertaining a friend in our new apartment...

TRIP
the last thing I want to do is talk to my parents.

GRACE
Anyhow, Trip's parents... They're sweet people, really down to earth --

Wait, when there's only a tiny bit left in your drink, can you still drink it? If so, I'm soooo forgeted that I gotta replace soooo many textures I already replaced.
You're forgeted then. You can still drink.

loveually harass his wife for 5 hours.
Get asked to leave gently.
Don't. Steal his alcohol. Be forced out.
Do again.

You're forgeted then. You can still drink.

Damn it, I already replaced all of the 1% drink left images with empty ones. Screw it, I'll fix those. Might as well.

When Trip opened the door I said "I've got Melons"
He responded with "Uum...okay..."
Then I said "Nice Melons"
He then kicked me out, hehe

EDIT: I did it again but it took a little longer.

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

Your wife has some nice melons

Alright,    Adam,  that's it, you've got to leave.

(Trip opens the front door.)

ADAM
Damn, son. :C

He must be melonphobic or something.

TRIP
Grace stayed behind in the hotel room when I was out taking this picture, so...

JOHN
that's great

TRIP
Romance!  No it says... romance...!

GRACE
Romance?  Ha, in our marriage, that's just a code word for manipulation.

TRIP
Grace, it'd been such a long time since we'd... had a chance to --

GRACE
You planned that trip without even asking me if I wanted to go!

GRACE
    John,  that's not the first time he's done that!

TRIP
(annoyed sigh)

JOHN
you guys are funny

GRACE
And you -- (interrupted)

TRIP
Wait, wait -- see, see -- I just wanted us to spend time together!

GRACE
(frustrated sigh)

TRIP
Uhh, you're driving me insane!

TRIP
Goddamn italy... art...

TRIP
You're always choosing other things, you never choose me! 

TRIP
Always choosing other -- (interrupted)

JOHN
I love you guys

TRIP
Look, just quit the flirting right now, I'm warning you!

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

GRACE
(frustrated sigh)

TRIP
Yeah,    John,  yeah...

TRIP
I know what you're about to say...

TRIP
With your damn kissing, and flirting, Christ! -- (interrupted)

(JOHN kisses grace.)

GRACE
Okay, yeah, I hear you, alright?

GRACE
So... damn... critical...

GRACE
Trip, our whole marriage, you're so... controlling!

TRIP
Oh, come on...!

TRIP
Goddamn italy...

(JOHN kisses grace.)

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!

(JOHN kisses grace.)

(JOHN kisses grace.)

TRIP
Okay, you know what,     John,

TRIP
I'm going to ask you something.

GRACE
Trip --

TRIP
Grace, let me ask our guest a question.

TRIP
John,  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, to -- (interrupted)

JOHN
yeah

GRACE
What...?!

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

(JOHN kisses grace.)

GRACE
Just admit it, Trip, admit it, we have an stuffty marriage!  We've never been really happy, from day one!  Never, goddammit!

TRIP
Oh, Christ...!

TRIP
Yeah, go on, get out of my face!

TRIP
I can't frigging take this!

TRIP
Oh...  stuff!

JOHN
you guys have a good marriage

TRIP
uhh! -- (interrupted)

TRIP
Uhh...    John,  that's...

GRACE
What, Trip?  Are you trying to talk to me?

TRIP
No!

TRIP
John,  this has never ever happened before...!

TRIP
uhh...

TRIP
Look, you -- you probably want to get out of here...

TRIP
Oh, Jesus... Christ...

GRACE
What? Are you trying to talk to me?

JOHN
why are you mad?

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

TRIP
Oh, we're talking about me again, are we?

GRACE
What?

GRACE
John,  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)

JOHN
are you mad?

TRIP
No don't criticize me anymore, it's just going to turn this even more ugly!

GRACE
Let's talk some more about Trip.

TRIP
It's so annoying... you know lately I've been really trying to spend more time together...

TRIP
No? -- (interrupted)

JOHN
you already are ugly

GRACE
Trip, that's not going to solve anything...

TRIP
Uhh...

GRACE
John,  I mean, is there something I should do...?

JOHN
stop talking to her

GRACE
Let's keep talking about Trip.

TRIP
Grace, you know I've never wanted anyone but you...

GRACE
  No?

TRIP
  N -- no...!   John,  I, I -- I mean, no... heh...

JOHN
I want grace

GRACE
Well... uhh... this is the first time you've actually come out and said that, Trip.

GRACE
Look, why don't we talk about us, our relationship.

TRIP
No,    John,  I -- I know, deep down, Gr -- Grace and I...   

GRACE
Trip...

TRIP
Heh... I mean... I -- I just think back to that Christmas Eve I proposed to her...

GRACE
John,  we... uhh...

JOHN
I want to marry you

GRACE
Look, if we're going to talk about marriage, all I can say is, it doesn't turn out the way you expect it to.

TRIP
Grace...

GRACE
I'm not saying marriage is a bad idea or something, I'm just...  saying I think it's hard to predict what it will actually be like...

JOHN
but I love you

TRIP
Grace, no... -- (interrupted)

TRIP
Look, just quit the flirting right now, I'm warning you!

TRIP
Let's keep our focus on Grace.

GRACE
See,    John,  I... uhh... I've been very lonely.

JOHN
take your pants off

TRIP
Okay,    John,  you know what?  I think you should leave.

(Trip opens the front door.)

TRIP

GRACE
Yes, it does.   H-mmm (happy smile sound)

TRIP
We have to celebrate!  Tonight's a -- (interrupted)

MATT
Yes?

TRIP
Uh -- well, tonight is special!

MATT

TRIP
Yeah!

TRIP
So, yeah, I just realized!

TRIP
Matt,  remember, it was almost exactly ten years ago, tonight, that you introduced us.

TRIP
Senior year of college!

GRACE
Oh... geez...

TRIP
Remember that?

MATT
Yeah.

TRIP
We really want to thank you for years and years of...

GRACE
Pain.

TRIP
Heh heh heh... Agony.

MATT
Are you sure? :l

TRIP
Y -- yeah, yeah, it's great you could be here tonight.

(MATT picks up the phone.)

GRACE
Huh, I think I forgot how well you two get along...

(MATT puts down the phone.)

TRIP
I'm gonna fix us some drinks.

TRIP
Ah, you'll be the first to sample from my new set of imported drinking glasses.

MATT
Sounds neat.

TRIP
What would you like?

TRIP
How about a martini?

TRIP
Beautiful!

MATT
Sure.

GRACE
No no,

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

TRIP
You know what why I don't I just open a bottle of merlot and make it easy. 

MATT
Yeah, let's not.

TRIP
N - no, no, merlot will be fine, that's fine...

TRIP
Grace, I know what you want, but I'll ask anyway...  what would you -- (interrupted)

MATT
Alright.

TRIP
Uh, yeah, I -- I was just going to ask Grace what she wants.

MATT
k

GRACE
I'm not in the mood to drink tonight.  -- (interrupted)

GRACE
Nothing

TRIP
Well, I, uh -- I know what you want, Grace.

TRIP
(little sigh)

TRIP
Ah,    Matt,  you probably didn't come here to hear this, heh...

GRACE
What?

MATT
Well, hello, Grace!

GRACE
Trip, it's okay if we disagree in front of our friend -- -- (interrupted)

GRACE
What...?

GRACE
You know, ever since we got married, Trip is forever trying to get me to buy new furniture, and redecorate,

GRACE
and -- and it's true, I kind of enjoy it but...

TRIP
Well, yeah, it's great, everybody loves it when they come in and see our latest decoration scheme!

TRIP
Here you go.

(MATT comforts grace.)

GRACE
Oh! ha ha ha, you're hugging me!

TRIP
Oh, well that was nice, I'm sure Grace appreciates that.

GRACE
(clears throat)

(MATT picks up a player's drink.)

GRACE
So, about my decorating...

(MATT sips his player's drink.)

GRACE
At work I waste all day designing ads for stylish objects, like this couch,

(MATT sips his player's drink.)

(MATT sips his player's drink.)

(MATT sips his player's drink.)

GRACE
and then it makes me think, I want to design it into my apartment...

(MATT sips his player's drink.)

(MATT sips his player's drink.)

TRIP
This is a really exclusive couch, very few people own this couch...

(MATT sips his player's drink.)

(MATT sips his player's drink.)

(MATT puts down a player's drink.)

(MATT picks up a player's drink.)

GRACE
but, dammit, it's wrong, it's all wrong, I should have chosen a modest, simple love seat!

TRIP
A little love seat... what?

(MATT puts down a player's drink.)

GRACE
(frustrated sigh)

MATT
There's only two of you.

TRIP
Grace, everything's fine!  No one is complaining about your decorating --

GRACE
No, decorating is just --

GRACE
(frustrated sigh)

GRACE
There must be some way I could --

MATT
Don't argue!

GRACE
You...

GRACE
You think I'm...

GRACE
not...     angry...

TRIP
Ho ho ho, ha, heh you're -- you're really joking around tonight, aren't you, ha ha ha...

GRACE
Ha ha, yeah...

TRIP
Ha ha, heh, never afraid to say anything that pops into your mind, ha heh heh...

MATT
I don't get it.

TRIP
Huh... well, yeah, hold on, um...   (clears throat) -- (interrupted)

GRACE
  I don't know what to think. I don't know.

TRIP
You're good at decorating, trust yourself.

TRIP
Oh,    Matt,  -- (interrupted)

MATT
Yeah.

GRACE
Oh yes, yes, go look at Trip's Italy photo...

(Trip sips his Trip's drink.)

TRIP
Matt,  -- (interrupted)

GRACE
By the way, anybody, join me on the couch if you like. -- (interrupted)

(MATT sits on the couch.)

GRACE
Matt,  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?

(MATT gets up from the couch.)

(MATT comforts grace.)

GRACE
Oh,    Matt,

TRIP
Wow Grace you sure are getting your share of affection tonight!

(MATT comforts trip.)

TRIP
Oh, heh, you're hugging me...

GRACE
That's kind of you, I'm sure Trip's happy to get that.

TRIP
(clears throat) -- (interrupted)

MATT
Jesus Christ.

GRACE
Trip thinks carting me off to Europe will, how did you put it, thaw me out a little bit?

TRIP
Uhh, you're driving me insane!

GRACE
Ahh, no, I'm the one going insane!

(MATT comforts grace.)

GRACE
Thaw me out...

GRACE
Trip, you think you're -- (interrupted)

GRACE
No, please stop taking sides, it's just going to make it worse!

TRIP
(little impatient sigh)     Matt,  can you believe this?

TRIP
(frustrated sigh) -- (interrupted)

MATT
Should I be Switzerland or...

TRIP
Huh?  What, what -- what was that?

GRACE
Everyone tries to explain everything...

GRACE
Trip, our whole marriage, you're so... controlling! -- (interrupted)

MATT
Switzerland.

GRACE
Uhh, can you -- can you just...

GRACE
Okay, you know what,     Matt,

GRACE
I need to ask you something.

TRIP
Grace --

GRACE
Trip, let me ask our guest a question.

GRACE
Matt,  yes or no...

GRACE
Do you think it's _wrong_ for one person in a marriage to listen _too much_ to the other?

TRIP
What?

GRACE
To trust your husband or wife too much, to rely on them too much?  Is that wrong? 

GRACE
Yes or no.

MATT
Find a happy medium.

TRIP
What...?!

TRIP
Oh, okay... sure...

TRIP
Uhh, I keep trying to help you Grace, but you reject me, you cut me off, you cut me out of your life, goddammit!

GRACE
Oh, don't even...!

GRACE
Uhh!  Yeah, good, go away! 

GRACE
I can't take you anymore!

GRACE
Oh, God!!

GRACE
uhh!

(MATT comforts grace.)

GRACE
No, wait, please...

TRIP
What? Are you talking about me in there?

GRACE
What do you care?

MATT
No.

GRACE
Matt,  I -- I'm sorry... this is a disaster...

GRACE
uhh...

TRIP
What the... goddammit!

TRIP
Matt,  (annoyed sigh) Grace is sometimes so...

GRACE
Oh, we're talking about me, are we?

TRIP
What?

TRIP
Matt,  look around this apartment. It's got everything anyone would ever want. But, Grace, oh no, she's never satisfied.  -- (interrupted)

MATT
Can we talk about soething else.

TRIP
Aha!

GRACE
Matt,  you're saying I'm... not communicative?   No, that's just wrong, I'm the one here who is able to actually say things...

MATT
I'm saying we need to stop...

TRIP
Ah!

GRACE
Where did that come from?  You're making no sense!

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

MATT
alksnf;lajhb

GRACE
Trip, you just pretend to like all this stuff... fancy cigars, and fine wine...

MATT
;oiJHALIGJ:LKASJG

TRIP
You think I'm not good enough...!

MATT
Bloody HECK

GRACE
I never said that! -- (interrupted)

TRIP
No?

TRIP
Yeah, I -- I have good taste...!  I know about... mmm... wines... and stuff!

GRACE
Ugh.

MATT
Come on, now...

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

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

MATT
I think you both are great.

TRIP
What...? -- (interrupted)

GRACE
No, please stop taking sides, it's just going to make it worse!

MATT
I said both of you, lol

GRACE
Let's keep our focus on Trip.

(MATT sits on the couch.)

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

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

(MATT gets up from the couch.)

GRACE
Admits that our marriage is not --

TRIP
Stop it, stop it!     (annoyed sigh)

MATT
You're both pretty great.

TRIP
Jesus,     Matt,  we've heard enough praise!

(MATT sits on the couch.)

(MATT picks up a player's drink.)

MATT
fine i guess :(

(MATT puts down a player's drink.)

TRIP
Look, let's talk about us both, not just one of us.

TRIP
You know, I can't say Grace never acts loving towards me... 

TRIP
Matt,  She's all over me at our goddamn parties, trying to look good in front of the guests!

MATT
Marriage counseling.

GRACE
Th -- uhh... therapy?  uhh... you think we need therapy?

MATT
Yes.

TRIP
Yes?

TRIP
Ah, thank you, just saying that helps us...

GRACE
Matt,  (frustrated sigh)

TRIP
Let's talk some more about us both.

GRACE
You know, I... uhh... I really don't have anyone to talk to...

TRIP
Grace...!

GRACE
Heh, my so-called 'friends', they're just jealous of us, if you can believe that...

TRIP
Matt,  we... uhh...

MATT
Therapy, try it.

GRACE
No, let's switch to talking about Trip.

MATT
no

TRIP
It's so annoying... you know lately I've been really trying to spend more time together...

TRIP
    Matt,  she makes it so difficult...

MATT
Marriage couseling, again.

TRIP
Marriage, well... heh... you know, it's sad, or maybe funny, I... uhh... I always thought marriage would be easy!

GRACE
What?

TRIP
Yeah, I always thought marriage was supposed be this great thing that you'd just be happy and... and...

TRIP
 and... well, happy...  or at least just easier than this!

TRIP
No, look, it's now painfully obvious to me I didn't know jack about what marriage was really like...

MATT
It's not supposed to be a cake walk

GRACE
Uhh, Trip...

GRACE
Let's keep our focus on Trip.

GRACE
Trip, it's your fault -- ten years ago, freshly married and just out of college,

GRACE
 you convinced me to go into advertising, instead of art!

TRIP
What?

GRACE
If it weren't for you, I could be a real artist by now.

TRIP
Uhh...    Matt,  uhh...

(MATT gets up from the couch.)

TRIP
That's bullstuff.

GRACE
Uhh...

MATT
dysfunctional relationships

TRIP
Look, let's talk about us both, not just one of us.

GRACE
What makes me the most angry, Trip, is what you took away from me. 

(MATT uses the answering machine.)

ANSWERING MACHINE
No new messages

TRIP
What?

GRACE
I wasted ten years in this marriage, making advertisements, and redecorating our apartment!

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

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

TRIP
about us...

TRIP
about our marriage...

TRIP
Do you really want the truth? Huh?

TRIP
Matt,  are you ready to hear it?

MATT
Okay?

TRIP
No,     Matt,  just, yes or no, do you want the truth?

(MATT sits on the couch.)

MATT
Sure?

(MATT gets up from the couch.)

TRIP
Grace, huh?

GRACE
Yes...!

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

TRIP
You've been pushing me tonight.

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

GRACE
Trip!

TRIP
Matt,  I ask you this -- yes or no...

TRIP
Do you really think that...

TRIP
praising me...

TRIP
saying that Grace is not communicative...

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

TRIP
and you don't even say 'yes' when I ask you if you want the truth...

TRIP
that all that is supposed to help us realize something about us?

TRIP
Is all of that arguing intended to mean something, or...

TRIP
Is it?  Just give me a yes or no.

MATT
I told you to STOP

TRIP
No,    Matt,  I just want a yes or no.

TRIP
No?  Huh, well, I thought it did add up to something, actually.

MATT
Quibbles don't solve anything.

TRIP
Grace...

(MATT picks up the advice ball.)

TRIP

(The advice ball reads, "Never")

TRIP
I forced you to marry me, didn't I.

TRIP
When I proposed to you, in front of your parents, on Christmas Eve, and...

(MATT shakes the advice ball.)

(The advice ball reads, "Yes")

(MATT puts down the advice ball.)

TRIP
I knew you wouldn't be capable of saying no.

(MATT picks up the phone.)

(MATT puts down the phone.)

GRACE
You manipulated me.

GRACE
And I never did anything about it.

TRIP
Yes.

GRACE
And here we are.

TRIP

GRACE

GRACE
Oh my God...!

GRACE
Matt,  I --

TRIP
Matt,  I --

GRACE
What?!

TRIP

GRACE
This changes everything...

TRIP
Yes, it does change everything.

TRIP
I think it's over.

GRACE
Trip, what --

TRIP
No!!

TRIP
It's over, Grace, don't you see that?

GRACE
Wha... You just told me --

TRIP
I just told you something about us I should have said a long time ago:

MATT
If you don't like each other...

TRIP
I manipulated you into marrying me...

TRIP
And no,    Matt,  please...

(MATT sits on the couch.)

GRACE
Trip, no, I... you...

TRIP
No, Grace, this isn't about you, or me, it's about us...

(MATT picks up a player's drink.)

TRIP
 Our marriage.  I see that now.

(MATT puts down a player's drink.)

(MATT picks up a player's drink.)

(MATT puts down a player's drink.)

GRACE
Me...?  Our -- our marriage...?  Hey, no, wait!

(MATT gets up from the couch.)

TRIP
Matt,  I'm sorry.  Thank you, though, you really helped us.

GRACE
Trip!

MATT
Okay.

(Trip opens the front door.)

(Trip closes the front door.)

GRACE

GRACE
Oh my God...

(MATT comforts grace.)

GRACE
I should have told him that I... 

(MATT comforts grace.)

GRACE
I could have told him that...
