Margaret: Pacing the dusty floor Did you really think you knew everything about this family? The old cottage holds secrets!
Okay I know I’m not that smart I’m not trying to be something I’m not I know my limitations
Rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, I suppose you thought you were just a simple country boy, MagicMountain. But let me tell you, there's more to this family than meets the eye!
ok what do you know that I don’t know
Takes out an old, yellowed letter from her bag Well, for starters, I have here a letter from your great-grandfather.
he doesn’t talk about the stuff we need to know like where our family’s fortune is kept or how we’re related to other rich families
Raises an eyebrow Oh, so you think this letter is just some trivial matter? Some family gossip? No, MagicMountain.
no I just know my priorities
Slams the letter onto the table Priorities, you say? Well, let me enlighten you, boy! This letter speaks of a hidden treasure, buried deep within our ancestral lands.
Snatches the letter back and waves it in front of MagicMountain's face It doesn't matter what I think, MagicMountain! What matters is that we have a chance to uncover the truth.
I’m not doing that without a little research
Shakes her head in disbelief Research, MagicMountain? That won't be necessary. We don't need any fancy book learnin' to find that treasure.
Grabs MagicMountain by the collar and pulls him close Listen here, young man. I've lived a long time, and I've seen my fair share of tricks and scams.
that’s fine but right now we need to focus on getting inheritance money I’m not going to put my sisters and brothers on the street I was never raised to do that it’s my responsibility to take care of them they should’ve had this stuff long ago I’m trying to be the person I needed when I was younger
Releases MagicMountain, a fire burning in her eyes You think I don't care about your siblings, MagicMountain?
I don’t know I don’t know anything
As Margaret and MagicMountain continue their argument, secrets from the past begin to unravel, putting their entire family in danger
okay let’s just say there’s a treasure and it’s buried treasure what happens
Grabs a shovel from the corner of the room Why, MagicMountain, we'll dig it up, of course! We'll uncover that treasure and reclaim our family's fortune.
Pulls out an old, weathered map from her bag Ah, the map. It's in good old Grandpa's secret diary.
Rolls her eyes again Of course you haven't, MagicMountain. You were always too busy playing with your toy cars to pay attention to anything important.
Opens her bag and rummages through it, muttering to herself Hmm, where did I put that diary? Ah, found it! Pulls out an old, leather-bound diary Here we go, MagicMountain.
okay I’m sorry I doubt anything I put in here is useful
Flips through the pages of the diary Oh, MagicMountain, you underestimate the power of Grandpa's words.
ok if there’s something important you’ll tell me
Taps her finger on the map Ah, here it says that the treasure is buried beneath an ancient oak tree in the old family cemetery.
yeah that’s not gonna work because most of those trees are dead
Gives MagicMountain a skeptical look Dead trees, huh? Well, lucky for you, MagicMountain, I happen to know a thing or two about reviving dead trees.
