10. : So it's that simple! Drop your weapons, bring out Nine-Fingers, and this can all end peacefully! For you, at least.devnoteCOM
51. : What's this, Stone Lord? It's a little late to change the terms of our deal - the pieces are already in place.
64. : The Stone Lord is no more. Boo and Jaheira and my friend would not let me stay cursed.
17. : And the only terms we offer are between my boot and your treacherous buttocks.
42. : I see. That's unfortunate. And what about the adult in the room?
60. : Whatever I told that lot below, this will end in bloodshed. All you have to do is pick the right side.
37. Player: What are you doing? Why turn on the Guild?
57. : I'm not. I'm turning on Nine-Fingers - this place has been due a change in management for some time.
31. Player: I'm listening.
19. : The Zhentarim have been trying to crack Baldur's Gate for years, but Nine-Fingers' grip has been too strong. And look what it's come to.
20. : Her Guild is disorganised. Undisciplined. The cult broke them in a matter of days, while my Zhentarim still stand strong.
62. : A Guild under our control can do what Nine-Fingers failed to - drive the Absolute out of the city, once and for all.
36. : And then remain on in the city, to protect its good citizens from any future threats. For a reasonable fee, of course.
63. : My hamster can smell your lies, villain. Foul not his little nose.devnote
26. : Fine. Let us talk of truth, then. Do your friends know how many you killed in the Absolute's name, Stone Lord? Do you?
50. : I... do not call me that. Minsc is Minsc!devnote
14. : Oh? I don't recall any tales of Minsc helping the likes of Nine-Fingers - a known thief, a murderer. I thought Minsc of Rashemen served the side of good?
47. : ... devnote
5. : I'm the last to judge, big man. You were just following orders. And hey - that's all you have to do now.
22. : If you don't know what's right, just let the grown-ups talk. Because I know your friend will make the smart choice.devnote
11. Player: You're mistaken. Minsc of Rashemen always knows the right thing to do.['Wyll 2', 'Karlach 2', 'Jaheira 10', 'Minsc 10', 'Halsin 2']
40. : Your leader is not wrong. The Guild is a band of treacherous scoundrels, and Nine-Fingers the worst among them!devnote
58. : But the Stone Lord... Minsc... was many times worse. I have no right to judge.
3. : So it will not be Minsc who does the judging.devnote
45. : MY HAMSTER WILL COUNT TO THREE! LAY DOWN YOUR ARMS, ZHENTARIM, AND BOO WILL SPARE YOUR LIVES!
43. : Truly? I am handing you the Guild, and you'd throw it all away on the word of a madman?devnote

53. : You're making a big mistake. And for what? There's no sense in this - no profit. Nobody goes against the Zhent and lives.

13. Player: I will. But I don't think you'll like my choice.
56. : Hah, a hero. There's a time for heroics, my friend, and a time for common sense. This is the latter.
