The Swamp Encounter





Murray:

BOO!



Guybrush:

AHHHHH!



Murray:

Bwahahahahahahaha!



Guybrush:

Oh, it's just you again.



Murray:

Just your most terrifying image of evil revisited!



Guybrush:

Yeah, right.



Murray:

I bring you warning from the infernal realms... do not go farther into the swamp! Turn back! Turn back! Darkness will envelop you! Bwahahahahahahaha!



Guybrush:

How'd you get all the way up there?



Murray:

Through sheer force of will.



Guybrush:

Uh huh.



Murray:

All right, it was a bunch of those weird voodoo kids. They found me on shore and put me on top of this spike, all the time thinking they were so funny.



Guybrush:

Do you need me to help you down?



Murray:

Help? I need no help from you foolish mortals! I am Murray! The all-powerful demonic skull!



Guybrush:

Okay, just thought I'd ask.



Murray:

Don't get me wrong; I do appreciate the offer.



Guybrush:

What are you doing up there?



Murray:

I am standing as a testament...



Guybrush:

Standing?



Murray:

...hanging as a testament to the power of the forces of Evil that will one day claim victory over the entire earth!



Guybrush:

How long are you going to keep doing that?



Murray:

As long as it takes.



Guybrush:

Must get pretty dull up there, I suppose.



Murray:

Never! The powers of darkness are never dull! We will one day prove that... oh, who am I trying to fool? I'm bored out of my skull. Figuratively speaking, of course.



Guybrush:

You seem restless.



Murray:

Oh, I don't know. It's just that not many people come through this swamp.



Guybrush:

What would you rather be doing?



Murray:

I need to be out among the lesser people, terrifying them and causing pain and misery.



Guybrush:

That would make you happy?



Murray:

Yes, happy, in a dark, demonic way.



Guybrush:

Do you know anything about lifting curses?



Murray:

Oh, right. I know a lot about lifting curses. That's why I'm a disembodied talking skull sitting on top of a spike in the middle of a swamp.



Guybrush:

You seem bitter.



Murray:

I'm sorry. It's been a rough day.



Guybrush:

I'd love to stay and chat, but ...uh... I've got to go.
