Rolf: You know, maybe the Clone Lab Grandma offering free clones this week wasn't such a good idea after all...
Rudo: What are you talking about? Some of us die a lot.
Rolf: I know, but... there's the whole legal problem about them. If you're you, and the clone's you, who are you, really, Rudo? Are you an actual person, or just random strands of DNA? A doppelganger, a mere pretender living a life meant for someone else?
Shir: Naah, I prefer not to think about it that much, Rolf. Free clones are free clones!
Shir Clone: Yep! That's right! (walks into the Weapon Store)
Another Shir Clone: C'mon, Rolf, stop being such a worrywart! (walks into the Armor Store)
Rolf: See? This is exactly what I was talking about...
Shir's Seventh Clone: Hey, Rolf, I'm gonna go to Piata for a while! (heads to the Teleport Station)
Shir's Nineteenth Clone: See ya guys later! The winds are tellin' me to head to Oputa! (heads to the Teleport Station)
Rolf: (his eye twitches involuntarily as Shir clones walk out of the Clone Station)
Rudo: Well, look at it this way, Rolf. They can't clone someone who died of natural causes.
Rolf: God willing. Where's Amy? I need her to help me find the real Shir.
Amy: (walks out of the Clone Station with Hugh) Oh, hello, Rolf! Hello, Corporal Steiner!
Hugh: I helped the Clone Lab Grandma fix the cloner, so it works much faster now. No more waiting a few hours for another clone of Kain, Rolf!
Rolf: ......Well, at least there's one good thing about this place...
Hugh: And the Clone Lab Grandma was so pleased, she gave me a small reward.
Hotter Amy Clone: (leaves the Clone Station)
Hugh: Now there's two Amys. ^_^ (walks off with the real Amy)
Hotter Amy Clone: Rolf, are you all right? You're shivering...
Rolf: I'm going to go kill myself. Be right back, guys. (enters the Clone Station, leaves a minute later)
Rolf Clone: (leaves the Clone Station) Hey, guys, I-
Rolf: (grabs Rudo's Laser Cannon and blasts his clone zero-range in the face)
Rolf Clone: (slow motion scream and flail to the ground, blood spewing everywhere)
Hotter Amy Clone: Oh, no! A medical emergency! (runs over to Rolf's clone) Rever! (touches the clone's chest)
Rolf Clone: (twitch, head regenerates) Owwwwww.
Rolf: T_T
