	% 01 - 03 : PC is friend; will try to just renew old contract
	Msg1 <Ah, \PC . So you're the one \SCENE EScene 1 sent to negotiate. Well, I'm all ready to authorize a renewal of the contract under the exact same conditions as last time. Just sign the papers and you can be on your way.>
	Msg2 <\PC , let's get down to business. It would save us both some headaches if we just renew the old contract for another year. Sign here and you can be on your way.>
	Msg3 <I'm glad that \ELEMENT 1 sent someone I know to be the \SCENE EScene 1 negotiator. Let's renew the contract from last year... that would save us a lot of effort.>

	% 04 - 06 : NPC will begin the negotiations.
	Msg4 <So \ELEMENT 1 sent you here to negotiate for a better contract. Well, tell me why I should make any concessions.>
	Msg5 <You're here to negotiate for the \SCENE EScene 1 service contract, right? I think we should just renew the old agreement but if you have anything to say then I'll listen.>
	Msg6 <Let's get down to business. \SCENE EScene 1 needs to renew its service contract. I'm prepared to renew the contract under the old terms, but if you have any changes to discuss we should do that first.>

	% 07 - 09 : NPC will negotiate.
	Msg7 <Alright. Why should \ELEMENT 2 give \SCENE EScene 1 a better deal?>
	Msg8 <What have you got to offer us in exchange for this concession?>
	Msg9 <Is there any reason why we should alter the contract to be less favorable to \ELEMENT 2 ?>

	% 10 - 12 : PC has tried this tactic before...
	Msg10 <You've tried that before. Let's move on to something else.>
	Msg11 <I already rejected that argument... Let's move on to something original.>
	Msg12 <I heard it before, and I didn't agree. Let's try to keep the meeting moving foreward.>

	Msg101 <There. That was easy... now we have plenty of time left over to take a business lunch.>
	Msg102 <You may be right... \ELEMENT 2 must not be undersold! You can tell \ELEMENT 1 \OPR E1 has a deal.>
	Msg103 <That's impossible. \ELEMENT 2 already offers the lowest prices in this field. You'll have to do better than that, I'm afraid.>
	Msg104 <Hmm... There are other contracts \ELEMENT 2 holds with the city which \ELEMENT 1 could possibly refuse to renew... Alright, to protect our other interests in \SCENE EScene 1 , I'll give a discount on this contract.>
	Msg105 <We don't hold any other business interests in \SCENE EScene 1 which could possibly be affected by this. I still have no reason to modify the contract.>
	Msg106 <Interesting... Well, what do you have to offer me in exchange for a better utilities deal?>
	Msg107 <All kinds of under-the-table funds, eh? I'll admit that does sound attractive... and it would offset my smaller comission for lowering the rates. Alright, you've got yourself a deal!>
	Msg108 <Do you think I'm some sort of criminal!? \ELEMENT 2 would never involve itself in corruption like that!>
	Msg109 <You've been very reasonable. It's been a pleasure doing business with you.>
	Msg110 <Hm, yes, lowering our price for the public service contract could be seen as helping out the community. That would generate some good publicity. Alright, you've got a deal!>
	Msg111 <I'm in accounting, not in marketing. If we wanted more publicity in \SCENE EScene 1 I'm sure we'd hire an ad agency.>
	Msg112 <You've got a point... Profit isn't everything, we also have to think about the common good. We can afford to cut rates by 15% and still turn a profit. You can take that offer back to \ELEMENT 1 .>
	Msg113 <That's a noble idea but it's not very practical. \ELEMENT 2 is in business to make money. That's the nature of free enterprise.>
	Msg114 <Hm. If I cared more about my job, I might just disagree with your logic right now. If you're going to stay here all day bugging me it'd be easier to just agree. How about a 15% discount? Go tell \ELEMENT 1 the good news.>
	Msg115 <And if you would give in to me, you could stop working. That one cuts both ways.>
	Msg116 <So what else do you have to say?>
	Msg117 <Very good. Here's your cut of the first month's profits.>
