[Layton Brothers: Mystery Room - Track 4 (Investigation)]
"Got the wisest minds in the universe workin' on this case."
"No-vember is upon us, and we gotta capitalize on it."
"So, tell me, what's the plan?"

"That is because your advertisement was subpar and unengaging!"
"Oh really now, you hunk of junk! Tell me what was so subpar about it."

"I think we need to focus on this amazing investment opportunity!"
"Right, lets hear what this piebald morph freak has to say."
Maybe she should just leave now and go back to dealing with her meeting with a bunch of animals....
"The burden of the world stands on my shoulders. Tiredness grips me from all angles. To be free from the net of fate, to leap through the seas without burden, bliss. :D"

O-2 closes the door on her way out.

"Whatever, it was a trap for sure anyway!"
"By my calculations there was only a 15% chance of it being a trap!"
"I got a better idea from that governmental punk."
"You folks know about "bliss high?""
"I have never touched a drug in my life, Skipper keeps doing all of them before I can get there."
"I only pretend to do massive amounts of cocaine for team bonding!"

"Bliss High is what we give capture creatures to make 'em tamed."
"The shit is filled with parasites that make you docile as shit."
"They get in your brain and suddenly you can't stop loving your caretaker."
"So, what if we made a little holiday of sort where folks will gobble up our treats."
"We're going to put parasites in food and feed them to the masses so they'll become addicted!"
"Shut it, Zookeeper!"
Zookeeper turns off.

"No, not that type of shut, turn back on, but shut your damn money whore mouth."
Zookeeper turns on.
"So my plan is, we infect the area with Bliss High and get people throwing themselves at our feet, begging to give us their money!"
"Guess it's not destroyin' the Union but you know what, fuck the Union, all I want is more money in my wallet, and I think I'm ready to get myself a new cult."
"I thought the people who paid you rent on all those planets you keep making us take over were your cult."
"I thought so too, but they never praise me. In fact, they keep cursing me or some shit."
"Might it be because the rent is too high?"

"Nah, it can't be. Gotta be something else. Like they want new pools or something."
"Two pools per building, that'll raise the property value!"
"Heh! More reasons to charge em' more!"
"Collector and Skipper might just go homeless again! Imagine that!"
"Sleeper have mercy on me!"
"We'll see about that..."

"Anyway, the only issue is that there's limits on how much Bliss High you can buy. You buy too much and suddenly the coppers are askin' questions like "Do you really have enough capture creatures for this?" and "You're not some addict eating blort food, are you?'''
"But there's a way around this. We get other people to get the Bliss High for us."
"Right....but how are we going to make a bunch of people do a highly ethically dubious activity without calling the cops?"
"Collector! We'll just do what we always do!"
"You there."

Zookeeper shakes a capsule.
"You want this? You gotta have it."
("Who is he talking to?")
("The poor bot, he accidently saw his own retlection in the mirror and is trying to sell this offer to it.")
"All you have to do....is bring us the capture creature treats. Every treat equals a ticket."
"So the more treats you bring, the higher a chance you have to win."
"So get out there and start collecting some capture creature candy!"
"Amazing sell, Zookeeper!" Sleeper picks up Zookeeper and sets him outside.
"But the consumers are out there."
Zookeeper immediately spots another person and scuttles towards them. "You there."
"That's my boy! The Creator can really make them, can't he!"
"As for you, you better get shaking those legs. Rent will be due."
