Dr. Oddball: Look at 'em! Pants missing! How did they lose 'em?! Can you believe this, mate?!
turns head "hey Doc, wanna play with me?"
What the hell?! Who are you?! And why are you here?!
"I'm JiggyGrim, new to the museum, lost my coin."
What?! My coin collection?! Get back here, you little scoundrel! I spent years collecting those coins!
"no no no, I haven't stolen your coin."
Don't give me that bull! Prove it! Show me your hands! Where's my coin?!
"trust me, the coin was given to me, I didn't steal it."
Bullshit! Nobody gives away a rare coin like that! Prove it! Where's the receipt? The packaging? Anything?!
"the lady who gave it to me would only take cash, no receipts or packaging, she got the coin from her grandfather."
Fine, fine! But if you're lying, I swear to God, I'll find you and make you pay! Now, show me the coin!
takes the coin from JiggyGrim's hand and examines it closely Huh, this is a rare coin, alright. But it's not the one I was looking for.
"oh ok, maybe it's worth some money?"
Money?! This coin is worth a fortune! But it's not just about the money, it's about the history, the legacy!
"i mean it's cool and all, but it's not like i can spend a fortune on a coin."
Well, you see, I have a hobby of collecting rare coins. It's my passion, my life's work.
"oh that's cool, guess i'll have to leave it with you then since you're the expert."
Wait, you want to leave it with me?! Are you out of your mind?! That coin is priceless! You can't just give it away like that!
"well what do you want me to do with it? I can't exactly sell it or give it away."
Dammit, you don't understand! This coin is a piece of history! It belongs in a museum, where it can be appreciated and protected.
"you work at a museum don't you? Can you put it in your collection?"
Yes, I do work at a museum, but it's not just about adding another coin to my collection.
"what do you mean? Don't you want the coin?"
Of course I want the coin! But it's not just about the coin itself, it's about the knowledge, the history, the legacy that it represents.
"ok so you don't actually want the coin, you want the knowledge behind it."
Exactly! Knowledge, understanding, that's what truly matters. And if I can share that knowledge with others, then it's all worth it.
"yeah, you do that. So how long have you been a doctor?"
Me? A doctor? Ha! Let's just say I have a long history of messing around with science. But enough about me, let's talk about you!
"me? There's nothing really interesting about me, I'm kinda boring."
Boring?! Don't even start with me! Everyone has a story, a past, a unique perspective on the world. I bet you've got something interesting hidden beneath that bland exterior!
"hm well when I was younger i went down a pretty dark path."
Dark path, huh? You gonna tell me about it or what?
