  • 10
6 Gaston Martin "Oh..." he looks down for the longest time. "You're right of course, officer. It can't be good for my health. Please, take it off my hands."
  • 181
7 You "Sure, but I'm going to need yours as a *prototype* first."
  • 16
8 You "I admire your handiwork,*chéf*, but there are a few things I'd do differently."
  • 19
9 Rhetoric A man so principled about his sandwich calls for a principled approach. Time to get political.

10 You "How is your back, Gaston?" (Tap on the side of your nose and point to the sandwich.) "Is it... *jerky*?" Variable["plaza.gaston_did_not_rat_gaston"] == true
  • 13
11 Gaston Martin "That *would* certainly have been an improvement."
  • 166
12 You "The bread you built this wonder on, could have been toasted beforehand."
  • 11
13 Gaston Martin "Well yes, I mean... uh... no need to..." He raises his arms to signal you to stop. "I'm not sure I understand what's happening here, officer."
  • 176
14 Gaston Martin "Ee... okay, sure sure, I'm not worried. We're here all the time. Every day. Impossible to miss us, officer."
  • 173
15 You "Don't worry, about it." (Give him a wink.)
  • 14
16 Gaston Martin "I hope you are not just tricking an old man out of the little he has left." He says solemnly and hands you his sandwich.
  • 168
  • 171
  • 15
17 You "I got a keen eye and it's telling me this sandwich is gonna destroy your back."
  • 6
18 Gaston Martin "Wait... But I thought..." The old-timer, visibly disappointed, pockets the sandwich and sighs. "I'd really like to get back to the game now, if there isn't anything else?"
  • 165
19 Gaston Martin "Like what, officer?" His eyes rest on the sandwich. "This is as good as they come in Revachol, I assure you."
  • 21
20 You "No. No one can." (Gaze at the distance, slowly shaking your head.)
  • 18
21 Encyclopedia An array of delicious recipes flashes through your mind. Salads... Salmon... Sandwiches. Bingo!
  • 160
22 Gaston Martin "*Ce serait délicieux*! he shouts excitedly. "Can you make that sandwich, officer?"
  • 167
23 You "I'll do you one better -- the air pocket between cheese and ham could house pre-roasted paprika."

27 You What is *political*?
  • 29
28 You I'm already tripping knee-deep in politics, baby.
  • 32
29 Rhetoric *This* right here is political...
  • 25
30 You "Your blood-sandwich" (point to it) "is a tool of the oppressors, designed to keep the proletariat docile." Variable["plaza.gaston_told_about_peoples_sandwich"] == false

32 Rhetoric You really do. Now, *unleash the fury*!
  • 25
33 René Arnoux "I'm not going to listen to this commie-*connerie*," he utters through clenched teeth and turns his back to you.
  • 50
34 Gaston Martin "Eh... I don't think that's gonna happen." He chuckles. "Why would you even...?"
  • 51
  • 106

  • 109
40 You "Salt is essential -- there can't be too much -- because isn't proletariat the salt of society?"
  • 98
41 René Arnoux "How about what?!" Judging by his tone the old carabineer really wanted to honour his old unit.
  • 121
42 René Arnoux "It's dignified. We need dignity. And you..." He points to Gaston. "Get excited."
  • 133
43 Gaston Martin "Yes, officer." He proudly displays his culinary miracle. It is magnificent.
  • 35
44 You "It's got class. And roots. I like it."
  • 42
45 Conceptualization I'm sure we can come up with something with a bit more *oomph* than that.
  • 151
46 Gaston Martin "I don't want to," he argues, glancing at you worriedly. "Look, officer, I like different, *classic* food. Fine dining, not soil. Please, just drop it."
  • 100
47 You "Let me ask you, comrade, did *you* make the sandwich yourself?"
  • 43
48 René Arnoux "Agreed. What about the whole group?" He quickly adds: "I propose *Épées de la Couronne* -- Swords of the Crown, in honour of my old unit."
  • 45
49 Gaston Martin "I really don't understand how my sandwich could..." he starts, but falls silent.
  • 69
  • 92
50 Gaston Martin "Huh?" The jolly man is scratching his head in bewilderment. He doesn't understand the situation.
  • 47
  • 56
  • 145
51 You "First they take our jobs, then our women and when the sandwich is all you have left -- the anarchists will come for that too."
  • 60
52 Gaston Martin "That sounds *horrible*." A grimace of disgust runs over his jolly face. "You really don't know your way around the kitchen, officer. Food and politics don't mix."
  • 93
53 Gaston Martin The scepticism emanating from the merry senior could be sensed all the way to the Semenine Isles.
  • 94
54 You "But imagine a sandwich covered entirely in fine metal dust from an industrial plant..."
  • 52
55 You "But imagine a sandwich absolutely minimal in design. Sleek, efficient, simple."
  • 53

  • 64
67 You "Men, let's review and, possibly, *redistribute* our resources." (Continue.)
  • 68
68 Gaston Martin "What do you mean, officer?" There's a look of suspicion is his eyes.
  • 150
69 You "Wouldn't you rather have a proper sandwich? A sandwich with a soul?"

74 Rhetoric Sorry, but at this point, all that's left to do is beg and hope for the best. Beg like you've never begged before.
  • 80
  • 77
75 You These options seem awfully fascist or communist -- what if I don't wanna say them?
  • 84
76 Gaston Martin "No, officer." The culinary genius shakes his head with unexpected resolve. "Please let it go, It's making me really uncomfortable."
  • 78

  • 78
82 Volition Whoa... easy there, Gold Mouth. He doesn't *have* to say anything. Re-engage cop-mode and bail out, if you like.

  • 97
96 You "Now turn it upside down, black bread -- like a symbol -- on top, to salute the coal mines our heroes worked."
  • 99
97 Gaston Martin "I don't eat worker-food!" he blurts out, immediately regretting it. "Look, officer, I like different, *classic* food. Fine dining, not *worker backs*. Please, just drop it."
  • 100
98 Gaston Martin The sandwich owner looks at you, eyes filled with anguish. "You're describing prison food, officer. I like different, *better* food. Fine dining, not *jailtime*. Please, just drop it."
  • 100
99 Gaston Martin "No, everything would fall off," he argues, glancing at you worriedly. "Look, officer, I'm not a miner. I like different, *tasty* food. Fine dining, not coal. Please, just drop it."

  • 105
105 Rhetoric No time to bring him in. Just keep your eyes on the prize and ignore him.
  • 34
106 You "Cause that's how foreigners *are*, Gaston. They won't stop 'till you have nothing left."
  • 60
107 Rhetoric Good, René's on board too -- time to take back the streets. Right-wing populism, here we come!
  • 70
  • 108
108 You "Revachol is calling -- she needs us. Not tomorrow, not *soon*, but right now. Let's take our home back."

159 You "Had you put a large slice of Olduvaian cheese crosswise from the ham, it would minimize the component loss via crumbling."
