otto-san:
pretty cool game


i hope more games like this are made someday
Mega-Bear:
I watched AuzuriteReaction's playthrough of this, funny as hell. Fun game.
MegaScientifical:
While I was playing, the game suddenly stopped registered what I was saying. Amazingly, the game finished itself without me being able to do anything more than comforts, hugs, drinks, and kisses.

Also, calling Trip "Maria" when he first opens the door pisses him off to the point of shutting it in your face. Luckily, I ninja'd past the door before it closed all tthe way.

GREG
Maria

TRIP
Well, Grace's parents... They're something else, really classy people --

GRACE
Uhh, no, they're impossible, they're always expecting me to act like the dutiful daughter, it's so annoying.

TRIP
(frustrated sigh)

TRIP
Okay, well, I was worried there for a bit you were on Grace's side tonight, heh heh, heh.

TRIP
Greg,  let me get you a drink.

GREG
Ever touched yourself?

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

TRIP
We should have something fun,

TRIP
like a cosmopolitan?

TRIP
Everybody tells me I fix the best drinks, so I'm sure you're gonna love this.

GRACE
We don't need to make a big production out of this, Trip.

GREG
Trip is an alcoholic

TRIP
Uh, well, you know what, I'm just going to make you a cosmopolitan.

GRACE
No no,

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

GREG
No

TRIP
but... uhh...

GREG
Mineral Water

TRIP
You know I'm just going to open a bottle of merlot or something,

GRACE
Yes, you don't need to push the fancy drinks tonight.

TRIP
Grace, what can I get you to drink tonight?  Surprise me.

GRACE
I'm not in the mood to drink tonight.

GREG
forget you trip, I want water asshol

GRACE
Just cranberry juice for me.

TRIP
(frustrated sigh)

TRIP
(little sigh)

TRIP
Ah,    Greg,  maybe you didn't come here to hear this...

GRACE
What?

GREG
I'd like to cram berries up your ass

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

TRIP
We're NOT disagreeing.  

TRIP
We're not disagreeing.  

TRIP
Alright Grace, your drink is ready.

GRACE
Thank you.

TRIP
Oh,    -- (interrupted)

(GREG hugs 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)

GREG
I hate Grace

GRACE
By the way, anybody, join me on the couch if you like.

TRIP
Um...  uhh, Now,    Greg,  in one word, what does this picture say to you?

GRACE
Say to you... say to you... yes, good question, good question.

GREG
Romance

TRIP
Here you go.

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

(GREG picks up a player's drink.)

(GREG sips his player's drink.)

(GREG sips his player's drink.)

(GREG sips his player's drink.)

(GREG sips his player's drink.)

(GREG sips his player's drink.)

(GREG sips his player's drink.)

TRIP
Come on, in one word, what does this say to you?

(GREG sips his player's drink.)

GREG
Romance

GRACE
How about domineering.

(GREG sips his player's drink.)

TRIP
God, I want us to go see the Italian art she likes, and so I'm domineering.

GRACE
(short petulant sigh)

TRIP
   (little sigh) Just one word for this.

(GREG puts down a player's drink.)

GREG
Romance

GREG
ROMANCE

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

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

GREG
Can you hear me?

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

GREG
Did I really break this?

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

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

TRIP
(annoyed sigh)

GRACE
And you knew I planned to attend my friend's art show that weekend!

GRACE
  A very good friend from college had a gallery show of his new paintings that weekend, and I missed it!

TRIP
What?

TRIP
Ahh, this is bullstuff!

GRACE
Ahh, no, you're full of stuff!

GREG
Shut up

GRACE
Goddamn romance...

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

TRIP
(little impatient sigh)     Greg,  I...

TRIP
(frustrated sigh)

TRIP
Your goddamn parents...

GREG
You suck

TRIP
You think you're better than me just because I didn't come from a rich background!  You do, I know it, you think you're better than me!

GRACE
Oh, sure, yeah!

GRACE
Romance... goddamn...

GRACE
Greg,

TRIP
Oh, Jesus...!

GRACE
Are you trying to say we've got problems?  Or I've got problems, that this is all my fault from the start?  Is that what you think?

GREG
Yes

GRACE
Okay, you know what,     Greg,

GRACE
I'm going to ask you something.

TRIP
Grace --

GRACE
Trip, let me ask our guest a question.

GRACE
Greg,  yes or no...

GRACE
Is it wrong for one person in a marriage to _want more_ than the other?

GREG
Yes

TRIP
What?

GRACE
If you want more out of life than the person you're married to does -- is that wrong?  

GREG
Yes

GRACE
Yes or no.

GREG
Yes

GRACE
Look, don't bother answering, I don't need to hear it!

GRACE
Our entire marriage, Trip, you've been holding me back, suffocating me!  I can't do this anymore!  Goddammit!

TRIP
Oh, god...!

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

TRIP
I can't stand frigging looking at you!

TRIP
Oh...  stuff!

GREG
forget this game is busted

TRIP
uhh!

TRIP
No, look -- look, just, uhh, leave me alone for a second, okay?

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

TRIP
I was not talking to you!

(GREG picks up a Trip's drink.)

TRIP
Greg,  I can't believe this is happening...!

(GREG sips his Trip's drink.)

(GREG sips his Trip's drink.)

(GREG sips his Trip's drink.)

(GREG puts down a Trip's drink.)

TRIP
uhh...

(GREG picks up a Trip's drink.)

(GREG sips his Trip's drink.)

(GREG sips his Trip's drink.)

TRIP
Look, if you -- if you need to go, you know...

(GREG sips his Trip's drink.)

(GREG sips his Trip's drink.)

(GREG sips his Trip's drink.)

(GREG sips his Trip's drink.)

(GREG sips his Trip's drink.)

TRIP
Oh, Jesus... Christ...

GRACE
What? If you're talking to me, I can't hear you!

(GREG puts down a Trip's drink.)

TRIP
I'm not!

GRACE
Greg,  (annoyed sigh) Trip can just be so... -- (interrupted)

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

GRACE
Greg,  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)

(GREG sits on the couch.)

(GREG gets up from the couch.)

GREG
You suck

GRACE
Uhh...! God...!

GRACE
Uhh...

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...    Greg,  what... uhh...

GREG
You guys suck balls

GRACE
Let's talk some more about us, our relationship.

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.

TRIP
Greg,  I'm not telling her what to do, I'm trying to help her!

GREG
forget you

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

(GREG comforts grace.)

GRACE
Oh,   Greg,  look, I know you're trying to help, but right now we just need get this all out in the open...

(GREG hugs grace.)

(GREG comforts trip.)

TRIP
Let's talk some more about Grace.

GRACE
Damn it, Trip, you and my parents -- (interrupted)

(GREG hugs trip.)

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

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

GRACE
I think Trip's afraid of visiting his parents. He does everything he can to avoid seeing them.

TRIP
Afraid of my parents?! My parents are idiots.

GRACE
No, it's true...

GREG
His parents are big starfishs

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

GRACE
Greg,  you -- you blame me for all this, don't you?

TRIP
See, I don't think you really want to be an artist.   This is all just something for you to blame me for.

GREG
Yes

GRACE
What?  Oh my God.      

GRACE
Greg,  do you agree with that lie?    

GREG
No

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.

GRACE
Greg,  uhh...

GRACE
Greg,  you see, this is what I've had to put up with, for ten goddamn years.

GRACE
Greg,  what is it, is there something about me?

GREG
10 years of you suck balls

TRIP
Look, let's talk about Grace now.

GRACE
See,    Greg,  Trip gets so annoyed whenever I want to go to a gallery, or a museum...

GRACE
Or when I invite my artist friends to our parties...  he gets so angry.

TRIP
Uhh...

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

GREG
He's a jealous starfish

TRIP
Greg,  I know what you're trying to hint at...

TRIP
about me...

TRIP
Do you really want the truth? Huh?

TRIP
Greg,  do you want to hear it?  

TRIP
Grace, huh?

GREG
no

GRACE
Yes...!

TRIP
Greg,  well?

GREG
No

TRIP
See,    Greg,  I've been paying attention to what you've been saying tonight.

TRIP
You've been pushing me tonight.

GREG
No you haven't

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

GRACE
Trip!

TRIP
Greg,  come on -- yes or no...

GREG
You broke, you aren't registering

TRIP
Do you really think that...

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 me understand something about myself?

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

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

GREG
No you bastard, you don't even

TRIP
This is not a trick question.

GREG
hear me

(GREG comforts trip.)

TRIP
No,    Greg,  just give me a yes or no.

(GREG hugs trip.)

(GREG hugs trip.)

TRIP
No?  Huh... I'm surprised you say that, I thought it did.

TRIP
Okay... look... heh heh...   (big sigh)

TRIP
Greg,  We're... we're actually fine... everything's fine...

GRACE
Yeah...

TRIP
I think it's -- it's okay if you -- if you... n -- need to go...

GREG
forget you

(GREG kisses grace.)

TRIP
Look,    Greg,  we're fine, nothing's changed...  we'll see you out.

(GREG kisses trip.)

TRIP
And no you, you -- you don't have to be nice anymore, heh, we're -- we're fine...

GRACE
Thank for you coming over, it was... nice.

(GREG kisses trip.)

TRIP
No, no more need to be nice, okay?

(GREG hugs trip.)

(GREG knocks on the front door.)

(GREG opens the front door.)

(GREG hugs trip.)

TRIP
Uh, look, we'll uh... we'll see you later, or, or -- or -- or whatever.

(GREG kisses trip.)

(GREG kisses trip.)

(GREG points to the elevator button.)
