Florid and jolly, Gaston Martin is standing in a sunspot and loudly eating a giant ham sandwich.
This is a listing of every "entry" in a given game conversation as scraped from the game files. Entries often contain written dialogue, as well as conditional logic governing their appearance to the player. They also link to other entries, sometimes automatically and sometimes through player action. This page is best used to search for a specific word or phrase, as following the links in this format can be difficult. For an experience that better accommodates the branching structure of these conversations, see the corresponding interactive page.

17 | Gaston Martin | "Officer..." The jolliness is gone from Gaston's face. "Care to play a game with a lonely old man?" |
|
|
18 | Gaston Martin | "Actually never mind... Wouldn't be the same..." |
|
|
19 | Gaston Martin | "Oh, sweet Jeannie..." He gets a dreamy look in his eyes. "She was the finest woman in all of Revachol. Maybe the entire world." |
|
|
20 | René Arnoux | "Do not *defile* her memory, Gaston." There's an almost imperceptibly small tremble in his voice. "Let her rest in peace." |
|
|
21 | Authority | His tone lacks its usual intensity, like he doesn't feel he has the right to speak on the matter. |
|
|
22 | You | "So you both know her?" |
|
|
23 | You | "What happened to her?" |
|
|
24 | You | "Sounds like this is between you two. I have other matters to address." | Variable["plaza.gaston_most_indecisive_woman"] == false |

25 | Gaston Martin | "Sure, officer." He nods. "It's better for René's flickering ticker too. Not that he'd ever admit anything there needs tinkering." |
|
|
26 | None |
|
||
27 | Gaston Martin | "We knew her, alright..." His friendly face lights up. "Lived on the same street our entire lives, just two houses apart. The three of us have been best friends since we were four." |
|
|
28 | Gaston Martin | "She was René's first girl, back when the prick was sixteen." He looks at the carabineer almost gently. "They were courting till he decided he'd rather die for some great *idéal* than just be hap---" |
|
|
29 | René Arnoux | "AND THEN YOU STOLE HER FROM ME!" He jerks forward, but then grabs his chest and stops. |
|
|
30 | You | "Easy fellows, no need for this to get ugly." |
|
|
31 | Gaston Martin | "Oh, officer..." Gaston is unfazed by the outburst. "It already got ugly nearly eighty years ago when the three of us were just learning to walk and talk." |
|
|
32 | You | Do not intervene. |
|
|
33 | You | "Sorry, but I *really* wanted to just ask some questions." |
|
|
34 | Gaston Martin | "It's okay, officer." He smooths his white whiskers. "You might have just saved René from a heart attack." |
|
|
35 | None |
|

36 | Gaston Martin | "Well... technically *you* stole her from *me*, because we'd been pretty close ever since you two had that falling out over the ink you spilled over her pretty yellow dress..." |

40 | René Arnoux | "We were just boys, then. This was different. *You*..." The tall veteran looks at you and nods. |
|
|
41 | René Arnoux | "No point starting this all over again, for the thousandth and the first time. Especially when we have company." He turns to you: "Officer?" |
|
|
42 | Gaston Martin | "She died of pneumonia two winters ago. It was a quiet passage. Peaceful." He smiles faintly. |
|
|
43 | Gaston Martin | "René and I were both by her bedside when she..." He pauses, searching for the right word. |
|
|
44 | René Arnoux | "Died," he sharply fills the silence and adds: "No use sugar-coating it. Won't bring her back, will it now?" |
|
|
45 | Gaston Martin | "Departed," his partner finishes his sentence, then chuckles: "Until the very end she couldn't decide between us. The most indecisive woman I've ever met." |
|
|
46 | Pain Threshold | A quick grimace of pain passes over René's features, but he immediately regains control. His face now a dispassionate mask again. |

|
|
50 | René Arnoux | "You always confused her, couldn't let us be happy..." He says with heavy resentment. "Seduced her with your fancy words and *pastries*." |
|
|
51 | You | "Why do you think she was indecisive?" | Variable["plaza.gaston_most_indecisive_woman"] == true |
|
52 | Gaston Martin | "She could never make up her mind about anything. What to have for breakfast, favourite colour or which one of us to marry." The look in his eyes is happy and distant. |
|
|
53 | Gaston Martin | "She was always leaving one of us for the other, but never long enough to actually get married." |
|
|
54 | Gaston Martin | "Heck," he says with a chuckle. "*Technically* we're both still engaged to her." |
|

|
|
63 | Gaston Martin | "The prick is gone," he replies, trying to smile. "I... I can barely believe it, but he's really gone." |

77 | Gaston Martin | "His angry little heart finally gave out." He sighs. "The dockworkers found him in the guard booth this morning. Wasn't even supposed to be working for another week, but he just had to prove how tough he is..." |
|
|
78 | Gaston Martin | "Guess he was about to head home, 'cause when the dockworkers found him he was wearing civilian clothes and not the cockatoo uniform I saw him in all the time." |
|
|
79 | Gaston Martin | "Sometimes I thought he was wearing it just to piss me off." Gaston smiles a sad smile. "Now the joke's on him, 'cause he's gonna be buried without it." |
|
|
80 | None |
|
||
81 | Gaston Martin | "Well, you took one of them." He shakes his head. "Still can't believe he gave it to you, but that's how rigid he was. Once the offer carelessly left his lips it was irrefutable..." |
|
|
82 | Gaston Martin | He looks at you for a moment and then speaks quietly. "I took them for myself. Took them to remember that old cunt. Nobody knew him better than I did, and I want to remember that old cunt by something." |
|
|
83 | Gaston Martin | "The other one I took for myself." He looks at you defiantly. "No one knew him better than I did, and I want to remember that old cunt by something." |

84 | Rhetoric | Strange how *old cunt* sounds almost gentle when he says it now. |
|
|
85 | None |

86 | Gaston Martin | "I repeat -- an *absolute* cunt." He turns to look at the crater. "Even his old army buddies didn't want him around. He was like an old viper." |
|
|
87 | Gaston Martin | "The only people who could stand to be around him were Jeannie and me..." He pauses. "She saw something in him when we were just kids, and..." |
|
|
88 | Gaston Martin | His voice trembles. "...a-and she never lost sight of it. And I thought if the most beautiful being in the world can love him, then there must be something worth holding on to..." |
|
|
89 | Gaston Martin | "Yes. I... I loved that angry prick. He didn't deserve it, but I did." He wipes his eyes with a sleeve. "You know what his last words to me were?" |
|
|
90 | You | "Some right-wing royalist slogan?" |
|
|
91 | You | "Something mean?" |
|
|
92 | Gaston Martin | "'In Guillaume's time you'd have been shot without a trial'. That's what he said to me." The old man gathers himself and wipes his eyes again. "He lived a cunt and he died a cunt. Let's leave it at that." |

140 | Gaston Martin | "But you probably had some official business too?" he asks and puts the hat back on. |
