I'm sorry. I can't keep a straight face. [He barely covers up a snicker.] You're askin' the wrong guy for that, pal. Of course it'll get worse, but every place gets worse. That's why you don't stay in one place, but since we can't just up and leave here, we do whatever we can. Make some silver, have a few laughs, go on some stupid quests with people you barely know, and maybe, maybe you'll have a nice, full life.
