«Scene: Hero lying on a beach»
Hero: Man, this is great. Warm sun, cold drink…
Hero: All my dreams have been so GOOD lately! I can't even remember the last time I had a nightmare.
Psst! Hey, <Hero>!
«Scene: Memet's head in a seashell»
Memet: Over here!
Hero: Welp. Guess that couldn't last.
Memet: It's been TERRIBLE! Oh, <Hero>, you have no idea.
Hero: No, actually it's been amazing. No nightmares. No YOU. Nothing but calm, happy dreams for months!
Memet: Ugh, I know!
Memet: I mean… I'm happy for you, I guess.
Hero: Gee, thanks.

«Scene: Hero walks along a pink sky backdrop with clouds and rainbow, holding a unicorn balloon»
Hero: Wait a second… how did we get HERE?
Memet: It's a dream, <Hero>. Stop expecting it to make sense.
Memet: Anyway. You haven't been having any bad dreams because they've been outlawed.
Hero: Ha ha, what?
Memet: I'm serious! That's why I'm in disguise!
Memet: Relations between nightmares - like me - and so-called "good dreams" have been pretty strained lately.
Memet: I didn't really take it seriously at first. I mean, what could good dreams do to me?
Memet: Hmph. Make me illegal, that's what they can do.
Hero: Gosh, that's tragic.

«Scene: Hero and Memet stand in a playground»
Memet: I know you're being sarcastic, but it IS. And not just for me, either.
Memet: Do you know how many of your favorite scary movies were inspired by someone's nightmares?
Memet: People LOVE to be afraid. Just a little bit, as long as they know they're really safe.
Memet: It makes them feel more alive.
Hero: Yeah, I guess that's true.
Memet: Anyway, we're here.

«Scene: The Hero and Memet (as a moglin) inside the Spookeasy»
Hero: Whoa. What's all this?
Memet: I told you, nightmares are illegal now.
Memet: Ever since Calico Cobby took control of the dream network, we can't make them out in the open.
Memet: So we created this nightmare speakeasy - a spookeasy, if you will.
Hero: That's pretty cool, actually.
Memet: I know, right?
Hero: So, I'm here to do what, exactly?
Memet: Take down this entire political infrastructure?
Hero: Okay, what am I REALISTICALLY here to do?
Memet: Alright, FINE.
Memet: You know who Criminy Thicket is?
Hero: OMG yes, he's one of my favorite authors! I love his dark, spooky stories.
Memet: He hasn't written in MONTHS - ever since the nightmares stopped, he's had NO inspiration!
Hero: Oh no!
Hero: Alright, that actually IS pretty awful. How can I help?
Memet: We need you to help us craft him a nice, scary dream…
Memet: And then we're gonna smuggle it into the dream network and get it to Criminy Thicket.
