The cage looks like it's wired on up to this old ass testament to the fine art of gaming. And it's only got the one score, so short of someone spelling it out at us, and probably not with their indoor voice, it looks like we gotta beat it to get that down.
[And that's when he gets that troubled look on his face. Glancing over his shoulder at the system, then back to his partner. The dominant one here.
BOY did she really not look the part.]
But the highscore. It's a sacred number. One of the two holy sequences. We call it...the Nice number. If I busted that high score, sure we'd be on the fast track out. But at what cost?
[And he glances up, towards the ceiling. As if he had said something deep, spiritual, of unassailable intelligence and introspection.]
