Birna "We need coin, Ranmir, and you're not bringing home any." Ranmir "And you would have me do what, join the College and prance around casting spells all day?" Birna "Don't just walk away from me! Where do you think you're going?" Ranmir "To the Inn for a drink, of course! Where else could I even go in this gods forsaken town?" Birna "And what, you think that'll solve all your problems?" Ranmir "Probably not, but it's worth a try!"
Birna "Please, come home. Just...come home." Ranmir "Can't. Got at least two rounds to go. Why don't you go...sell something?" Birna "Why? Because I'd rather be here trying to keep my only brother from drinking himself to death." Ranmir "Ha! Drink ain't gonna kill me. Not today, anyway."
Ranmir "Well, isn't this a surprise!" Birna "How much of our money have you spent today, Ranmir? Anything left, or is it all gone?" Ranmir "If I wanted to get yelled at, I'd be home. Can't you leave me be?" Birna "Oh, I'm sorry. Am I bothering you? Am I making your life more difficult?"
