Guy starts every day with a medium cup of coffee with cream and two sugars. Because that's what he's programmed to do. It's what every NPC character in Free City is programmed to do.
Guy
And every morning, I start my day with the most delicious coffee in the whole wide, whole world.
Barista Girl
Medium coffee, cream, two sugars.
[GUY drinks some of the coffee]
Guy
You know it. Mmm. Mmm. That is unexpectedly hot. Jeez, that's good. It's like losing my virginity. But in my mouth.
Clip 2
Millie plays Free City as Molotovgirl and she has an ulterior motive. To prove that Antwan, the head of Soonami Studios, has stolen some code that she wrote with Keys. And she needs a little help.
Molotovgirl
What have you got?
Masked Man
Proof of a secret level. That's what you're looking for, right?
Molotovgirl
You got a video or a screen-grab?
Masked Man
Nope. But I know who does.
Molotovgirl
[Drawing a large gun and pointing it at MASKED MAN]
You know what I do to people who waste my time?
Masked Man
Whoa! Wow! Someone wants to play. Hey, you really British or is that an accent filter? 'Cos maybe we could meet up later?
Molotovgirl
I don't have a burning desire to see your Mum's basement, thanks.
Clip 3
Guy and Molotov Girl have met up. It's a kind of date. And, as with all dates, Guy wants to show himself in a flattering light. A little romance, a little humour. But this joke? No, Guy. Just... no.
Guy
Weird funny? That's totally my speed, too.
Molotovgirl
Great!
Guy
Yeah! I know a joke.
Molotovgirl
[Gasps]
Guy
A weird, funny joke. You wanna hear it?
Molotovgirl
Please.
Guy
Okay. Uh... a homosexual and a man in a wheelchair are trying to murder a very small child -
Molotovgirl
Whoa!
Guy
The cripple -
Molotovgirl
Whoa! Stop!
Guy
- says to -
Molotovgirl
Stop!
Guy
- the homosexual -
Molotovgirl
STOP!
Clip 4
Guy has fallen head-over-heels in love with Molotovgirl. He wants to kiss her. Badly. No, not kiss her badly but kiss her... badly!
Guy
I really wanna kiss you. Is that weird?
Molotovgirl
You want to kiss me?
Guy
I... wanna kiss you so badly.
Molotovgirl
You want to kiss me badly?
Guy
Yeah - NO!
Clip 5
There isn't a button on the controller to kiss another character in Free City. It shouldn't be possible. But it is. Because Guy has broken his programming. He's alive. ALIVE!
Millie
The first time I kiss a non-toxic guy in, like... forever and, of course, he's not even... not even REAL!
Keys
Uh, there's not a button for that.
Millie
Oh he found the button!
Keys
Okay...
Millie
Yeah!
Clip 6
Cat Lady Phyllis is a fellow NPC. Her job is to stand on the streets of Free City shouting, "Has anyone seen my cats?" And Guy has had just about enough of her bullsh*t.
Cat Lady Phyllis
HAS ANYONE SEEN MY CATS? HAS ANYONE SEEN MY C-
Guy
Your cats? No, Phyllis, I haven't seen them but here's a revolutionary idea... close your goddam door! It's not like they're climbing on top of one another, forming a little kitty tower and then jimmying the locks. They don't have thumbs, Phyllis!
Clip 7
Guy has snapped. He needs his fellow NPCs to know that Free City isn't real. The buildings aren't real. The streets aren't real. The cars... well, they're apparently real enough.
Guy
DON'T YOU GET IT? DON'T ANY OF YOU GET IT? NONE OF THIS MATTERS. NONE OF IT. IT'S... IT'S... IT'S FAKE! WE DON'T MATTER. THAT BUILDING... THAT'S FAKE. THIS STREET... IT'S FAKE. THAT CAR...
[GUY is hit by one car, ricochets off a second and lands in a twisted heap in the middle of the street]
Clip 8
Antwan is a douche. Nobody should joke about having "ass cancer" or the equivalent in... his balls. But Antwan does. Because Antwan is a douche. I believe I may have mentioned that already.
Antwan
Yes! There he is, the little do-gooder.
Mouser
I thought you liked Blue Shirt?
Antwan
DON'T... say words to me. People are so busy watching this loser... on Twitch and YouTube. You know what they're not doing, guys? Buying Free City 2. Pre-sales are down sixteen per -
Assistant
Sixty.
Antwan
Sixty? That's bad. Oh, we are forty-eight hours from launch.
Mouser
Yeah, he's gone viral.
Antwan
Yeah, a virus that's given me ass and BALL cancer at the same time. Inoperable!
