Transcript

LEV ARRIS: Mmm, I'd recognize those lips anywhere.

MELISSA BANKS:: You should do, they've been just about everywhere.

LEV ARRIS: Don't remind me. No, on second thought remind me all you like.

MELISSA BANKS: I'm not sure if I should. I hear you've been fooling around with a little space bimbo.

LEV ARRIS: Lies and rumors. She's not my type.

MELISSA BANKS: Oh, what is your type?

LEV ARRIS: Lets go upstairs and be really dirty.

MELISSA BANKS: Okay.

MELISSA BANKS ADDITIONAL DIALOGUE

(After SC 357, when Arris escorts her out of system:)

SC.432 (IN GAMEPLAY: COMPUTER GENERATED: VO ONLY)

MELISSA (VO)

Thanks again, Lev. For everything.

Let's get together again sometime,

okay?

(The player is able to run into Melissa several more times,
outside the main game flow. Perhaps this should be have
something to do with his "karma" level? But the
interactions can be plugged into any one of the various
bars.)

When the player clicks on her:

SC.435 ON ARRIS -INT. SINNERS INN

Sitting by himself, with his drink. Some lips lean int
frame...kissing him on the back of the neck. He closes his
eyes with pleasure.

ARRIS

I'd recognize those lips anywhere.

Melissa slides down on the seat next to him...her face close
to his...

MELISSA

You should do. They've been just about

everywhere.

ARRIS

Don't remind me. No, on second thoughts,

remind me all you like.

MELISSA

I'm not sure if I should. I hear you've

been fooling around with a little

spacebimbo.

ARRIS

Lies and rumours. She's not my type.

MELISSA

Oh, and what is your type?

Beat. He leans forward and kisses her deeply...They pull
apart a few inches. She smiles.

ARRIS

Hey, let's go upstairs and be really

dirty.
