Well, that was fun. Happy Halloween, everybody.

Can we get some Lundegaard guys out here sometime this week? I want to talk about infrastructure improvements and a few other projects.

Lundegaard.

[homesteading]

Yeah, that's the point of the whole thing. You're doing a good job.

Lundegaard.

[agriculturalist]

[...] Thanks. I'm just doing my best.

Lundegaard.

[homesteading]

Obviously I trust you to handle yourself. All of you. Just [...] remember if you give her an inch she'll take a mile. And be careful with her. She's kind of evil.

Lundegaard.

[agriculturalist]

[...] Noted.

Roswell/Emmett.

[homesteading]

Am I being insane?

Roswell/Emmett.

[agriculturalist]

No, but like, are you okay?

Roswell/Emmett.

[homesteading]

Would it be completely and entirely unbelievable if I said yes?

Roswell/Emmett.

[agriculturalist]

Probably, yeah.

Try not to stress about this too much, though. Gideon and the rest of us will deal with it so you don't have to.

I'll bring you some baby kittens later, you'll feel better.

Emmett/Quaid.

[quaid]

Should we be worried about him? This seems like a bit much, even for Roswell.

Emmett/Quaid.

[agriculturalist]

Don't tell him, but I talked to Mara a little a their thing. I guess he was pals with her dead husband and now they hate each other. Maybe this is bringing up some bad memories.

Want to help me try to cheer him up?

Emmett/Quaid.

[quaid]

For the duration of the party is one thing, but the last thing we need is for him to spiral off entirely into paranoia with so much on the line. Hopefully whatever it is he's able to deal with it or find someone to talk to about it.

Sure. What's your plan?

Emmett/Quaid.

[agriculturalist]

Yeah, I know. I just don't know what to do about it.

I was going to bring him some emotional support kittens but that's as far as I got. I'm not good at this.

Lundegaard.

[quaid]

Define evil here, please.

Lundegaard.

[homesteading]

It's like dealing with the devil. She'll do whatever you ask her to but it's going to come at a steep price down the line.

Lundegaard.

[quaid]

Hm. Noted. Well think there are enough of us with good heads on our shoulders going into this that we'll be prepared for her.

Even if she does seem to just think us compliant men?

Lundegaard.

[homesteading]

She doesn't actually think that. She's goading me.

Lundegaard.

[transferswitch]

We've got this under control. We're going out for an estimate before we bill her for the work. In a matter of speaking.

Lundegaard.

[homesteading]

I think she'd love it if you invoiced her, actually.

Lundegaard.

[transferswitch]

I can try but I bet she'll notice that I can't remember all the exact formatting.

Lundegaard.

[homesteading]

It's more about engaging in the bit than authenticity.

Lundegaard.

[lineman]

Nobody is evil, Roswell. Except maybe Margarita. Mara trades fairly. We have things we need because of her.

Lundegaard.

[homesteading]

That is what she wants you to think.

Lundegaard.

[lineman]

And you want me to think she’s evil?

Lundegaard.

[homesteading]

I said "kind of evil".
