- EN -
Lara Croft is excited to spend a day out in the Canadian countryside. She's already booked a room at a cosy place and is on her way there when something shiny catches her eye. Is it trash or is it treasure? Not a second later a tyre pops! Luckily, it's a lovely day to be outside...

Lara Croft non vede l'ora di trascorrere una giornata nella campagna canadese. Ha già prenotato una camera in un posto accogliente e sta andando lì, quando qualcosa di luccicante le attira l'attenzione. È spazzatura o è un tesoro? Un attimo dopo, le si buca una gomma! Per fortuna è una giornata magnifica per starsene all'aperto...

Dialogue: 
Lara: Phhh, the tyre is beyond repair. I better go to the Inn and ask to use their phone. 
-
Lara: Hello.
Bear: Ugh, hello. You don't look like a money collector. Would you like a room? 
Lara: [humoured] I understand that's in my favour, but what do you mean by that?
Bear: Uh, nothing. 
Lara: Nevermind then. May I use your phone, please?
Bear: Uh, a phone? Mh, no. There's no phone. 
Lara: Just my luck. My car broke down. How far to the next town?
Bear: The next town is pretty far.
Lara: Alright. I'll take the first bus in the morning then. I'd like a room, please. Lara Croft's the name. 
Bear: Just one more question: that guy over there, does he look like a money collector to you?
Lara: I dunno, could be?
Bear: Mpf, I was afraid of that! 
Tiger: That's right, I'm here for the money, Bear! Nothing personal but today you're going to pay!!
Lara: Is this guy bothering you, Bear?
Bear: I might have been gambling and got carried away and now I owe. But, uh, I do have money! All saved up! I just don't know where!!
Lara: [deadpan incredulous] You buried it in the forest, didn't you?
Bear: Ugh, it is a big mess!
Lara: Well, I'm actually pretty good at finding things. 
Tiger: Fine! I'll wait. You have one day! I'd like a room, please. Consider it a down payment. 
-
Tiger: Wonderful. Thank you. The room was very nice by the way. And you are very kind, bear. I think I'll be around for a private vacation sometime. 
Bear: Thank you!
Lara: something funny. (somethingsomething"bear minimum"orwhatevs)
Tiger: Laughs. 
Bear: Laughs.
-
Lara: Hello there! May I borrow that shovel of yours, please?
Park Ranger: My shovel? Sure! You can borrow it if you help me catalogue rare creatures. 
- 
Park Ranger: Good job! Here, have the shovel as promised!
