Sam

Looks like Mr. Spatula is putting on some weight.

43969920

Max

That's what happens when you live in a high-fructose corn syrup cooler.

Before Mr. Spatula was vice president, he was just a pudge.

43970560

Sam

I thought you were going to have the presidential seal put on your desk, Max?

43970688

Max

I tried, but he kept discussing trade agreements and then blowing trumpets and begging me for fish.

A longer dialogue for Max's newly-appointed desk.

43970816

Sam

It's the President's desk.

Here's the dialogue that would play after the above desk talk.

Jimmy

What? Just what are youse guys accusing me of?

43204224

Sam

We've got a responsibility. We can't let you go around selling defective merchandise.

43204352

Max

We'd hate to see anybody get hurt. Sorry, Sam, I just can't say that with a straight face.

43204480

Jimmy

Why, I oughta... I'll show you what this baby can do!

43204736

Max

Do it again! Do it again!

Originally, you'd have to talk to Jimmy to get him to fire the cannon. In the final game, you just have to click on the cannon to get him to fire on Sam.

43204864

Sam

We want to see the cannon fire again.

43204992

Jimmy

This ain't play-time, guys. This baby ain't easy to reload.

43205120

Max

Who'd buy a cannon that only fires once?

43205248

Jimmy

Quiet down! You'll scare off payin' customers!

43205376

Jimmy

This beauty can fire as many times as you want. Watch!

43205504

Max

Fair enough!

The second cannon conversation. Thankfully, this was all streamlined in the final game.

43205632

Sam

Max wants you to try the cannon on him this time.

43205760

Jimmy

Okay, but only because I've grown to enjoy it.

43205888

Max

Still not tired of seeing that!

The third (and fourth, and so on) non-canon cannon scene.

Sam

There's got to be a way into that control room!

44931200

Max

Says who?

The only security by the control room is the pop-up-producing jack-in-the-box, which can just be sidestepped. Maybe it was harder to get to in an earlier build?

44200960

Sam

If we pretend we know what you're talking about, will you tell us why there's a +1 on your armor?

44201088

Auntie Biotic

This is Armorani's +1 Plate of Prophylactic Germicide.

These two lines are supposed to go between "You mean you're not familiar with the Armorani Masterworks line?" and "If we pretend we know what you're talking about, will you tell us what the heck you're talking about?".

44614656

Sam

What would you suggest?

44614784

Max

A Shield of Supreme Righteousness would be about perfect. But failing that, anything big enough to protect you from a frying pan.

After Max explains the concept of initiative to Sam, these two lines would play.

44932224

Sam

Seen any good shields around here lately?

44932352

Max

If this was the real world I'd just pick up a trash can lid.

44932480

Max

I'm not sure what skanky junk passes for a shield in this loopy virtual world.

The further adventures of shield talk. A lot of the cut lines in this area mention shields, actually. Maybe the developers thought that players would search in vain for an actual shield or shield-like object instead of the intended item, the jack-in-the-box.

45813632

Hugh

It is said that he who wishes to be a great warrior must possess the fabled +2 sword and an impenetrable shield. And he's got to look good in TIGHTS.

45813760

Max

Well, we've got that covered.

After Sam asks how to kill monsters, The Internet Wizard would hint at the existence of the +2 Sword and the Jack-in-the-box, but since he mentioned shields, the dialogue had to be rewritten.

Strangely, even though the subtitles for these two lines were deleted, the conversations that would have followed have their subtitles intact!

45807744

Sam

Where can we pick up this "+2 Sword," whatever that means?

45807872

Hugh

It is a QUEST! One cannot simply walk up to the +2 Sword and take it! *giggle*

45808000

Max

Why not? That guy Arthur Whats-his-name did.

45808128

Hugh

Uh, Excalibur was only +1!

45808256

Sam

Yes, but where exactly do you find a +2 Sword? Can you get them at the market?

45808384

Hugh

Oh no! No no no! No no no no no no no no! No!

45808512

Max

What are you trying to say?

After The Internet Wizard mentioned the sword and shield, two new dialogue options would open up. The first is, "Where can I get the +2 Sword?"

45808640

Sam

Please tell me where I can pick up a +2 Sword?

45808768

Hugh

If I told you, it would spoil the fun! And I hate spoiled fun. Don't you? Ooh!

Asking about the +2 sword again. Not much help, is he?

45810304

Sam

Where can I get an impenetrable shield?

45810432

Hugh

Unfortunately...we're all out of shields.

45810560

Max

What? You're all out? In all of Reality 2.0, not one shield to be had?

45810688

Hugh

Not as such, no.

45810816

Max

So we're dead.

45810944

Hugh

Pretty much!

According to the corresponding chore filename, the dialogue selection for this is, "Where can I get an impenetrable shield?" This Internet Wizard isn't very helpful at all!

45811072

Sam

Riddle me this, wizard head: How can we survive a battle without a shield?

45811200

Hugh

A wise man once said, "Make do." And that wise man was me! Just now! Ooh!

Here's the last scene speaking of the dreaded s-word.

45798528

Hugh

Blackness, blackness all around.

This is supposed to play after asking "Can you see our future?" a third time, but the second conversation plays instead.

Just a short back-and-forth after Sam gives Curt the computer bug.

45349376

Sam

Hey, uh, "guys".

Should play after entering Lefty's VR a second time, but Sam just barges in without saying a word. What a rude dude.

45374720

Sam

Destroying a computer might be fun and educational, but it won't really help us stop the entire Internet.

Most likely meant to play after using one of the two swords on any control computer. The generic sword use lines play instead.

Three potion names that got cut, probably because they're not very funny.

There are no bathrooms in videogames!

45920128

Then where did I just...? Uh oh!

Well, there are bathrooms in this game, but the one in Bosco's VR was removed.

You are standing in Sybil's shop. This place is full of junk.

Max

I call dibs!

43439488

Sam

On what?

43439616

Max

All of it!

This might have been the original Sybil's shop intro text, before it was replaced with the much longer description with the kittens and the lake and the treasures and such.

43422592

Couldn't you please just pick a legitimate direction?

43422720

Max

Hey! You callin' my directions illegitimate? [snickers]

There are nine different joke "Go ____" texts in the game, but only three are used in the final game. The unused ones no longer have labels, so the actual jokes for some of these are unclear. This could be "Go straight" or "Go legit".

43426176

N/A

Parser

You are very much trying my patience. I suppose you'll want to do the hokey pokey next.

43426304

Max

OOH! I love the hokey pokey!

This might be "Go-go dance", but it's not really clear.

43419776

43419904

Uhm...through the tulips?

Some of them are more obvious than others.

You are already outside.

43420800

Not outside the game, we're not.

This is another obvious one.

The Corporate Presence has eaten all the ice cream shops and combined them in its stomach into one big ball of ice cream conglomerate.

43430400

Sam

That doesn't sound overly appetizing.

43430528

Max

All my best friends are conglomerates!

"Go for ice cream" or "Go get ice cream".

43431552

N/A

Parser

I'll bet you don't even know what that means!

43431680

Max

I think he made it up.

43431808

Sam

No I didn't. It has something to do with crocodiles and wandering chefs who sing so badly that your ears bleed and you drop your valuables, at which point the greedy culinary experts scoop them up and make like a frightened cephlapod. I think.

43431936

Max

Works for me!

Now this is a complete mystery. What the hell is Sam talking about?

43327104

N/A

Parser

The Shambling Corporate Presence looks a little bit less hulking and terrifying. It could easily perk back up any moment, though.

43327232

Max

Ooh, let's kick it when it's down!

43327360

Sam

I think we'd be better off just getting out of here before it gets its strength back. There's nothing worse than an angry Corporate Presence.

43327488

Max

Well, ok.

The check for this text is probably bugged. This is what should appear on screen after feeding the Corporate Presence the Nauseating Bosco's and choosing "Look Corporate Presence", but the default look text is used instead.
