Player 3: [pauses] You have to help me! I’ve been shot! I need a doctor!
Handler 1: [glances in box] Well, if you answer my question, I can offer you a band-aid.
Player 3: [jaw drops] What the fuck do you people not understand?! I need a DOCTOR! I’ve been SHOT.
[gunshots continue in the distance]
Handler 1: [glances to left] From the sounds of it, you’re not the only one. Now, do you want the band-aid or not.
Player 3: [hangs head] I’m going to die… I’m going to die…
Player 3: [straightens] Fine. What is your question?
Handler 1: [crosses arms over chest] How did Kennedy track down the woman he sent you after?
Player 3: [eyes wide] Shit, man! I have no idea. I didn’t ask! He just called and told me where to go and I went. It wasn’t like we played a game of Twenty Questions. Kennedy said to go, and I went. As simple as that.
Handler 1: [pushes Vault of Honesty behind him] Not good enough. Have fun bleeding to death.

Controller 1: [laughs] Ha! You missed!
Controller 2: [sticks out tongue] So did you! Not so cocky, are you now, bitch?
Controller 1: [gasps] Hey! No fair. I can’t call you that.
Controller 2: [snorts] If you can’t take the heat, don’t step into the kitchen! Ha! Gotcha.
Controller 1: [groans] Motherfucker…
Controller 2: [laughs] Do you kiss your mama with that mouth?
Controller 1: [looks to left and winks] No, but I kiss you.
Controller 3: [clears throat] Just a reminder that I’m in the room, guys.

Handler 2: [waiting with Vault]
Player 2: [gasping for breath] There’s a dinosaur on this side.
Handler 2: [deadpans] Several, actually. Next question. Kennedy’s next move. What is it?
Player 2: [silence]
Handler 2: [tilts flashlight toward Vault] There’s a bulletproof vest in there.
Player 2: [looks at vest, looks at Handler 2] Look, all I know is that he wants the kid.
Handler 2: [unimpressed] We already knew that. Our question is why he hasn’t come after him himself.
Player 2: [exhales slowly] You’ve clearly never met Kennedy if you’re asking me that question.
Handler 2: [narrows eyes] What is that supposed to mean?
Player 2: [nose twitches] Shit, man. This is so weird. I never realized how much I scratch my nose until I can’t anymore! Fuck. Okay, fine. Look, Kennedy is diabolical. You want to know why he went after that biker chick? Why he hasn’t come for his son yet? Because he CAN’T. Or rather, he won’t. Not until he knows he can win. Not until he knows everything about what is going on and more. He’s patient, methodical, and he ALWAYS has a backup plan. That’s why he wanted the sister. He wants answers.
