Partner Interactions in Gramophone Café

Eugene and Kayleigh

  • Kayleigh: ...I don’t understand you, Eugene. You love all this “save the community” stuff, but you don’t want to join the rangers with me?
  • Eugene: It’s nothing personal. I’m just a loose cannon, is all. A lone wolf. I can’t abide by an organisation that might hold me back.
  • Kayleigh: I don’t think that’s it. I think you’re scared that you might fail the entry test!
  • Eugene: Th-that’s not it at all!

Eugene and Meredith

  • Meredith: ...I did have some engineering work to do back at the shop, but I might just swerve it for now.
  • Eugene: Yeah! You gotta take a break sometimes, buddy!
  • Eugene: …. Wait, what did you say just now?
  • Meredith: Uhh, I said I had some engineering work to do?
  • Eugene: What did you say after that…?
  • Meredith: ...I was gonna swerve it?
  • Eugene: Is that a phrase? To “swerve” something?
  • Meredith: Oh, I mean, yeah. Like if you’re going to skip out on doing something or going somewhere, that’s you “swerving” it.
  • Eugene: OK, gotcha. I shall embrace your unusual slang with an open mind.
  • Meredith: I think I’m gonna swerve this whole conversation.

Eugene and Felix

  • Eugene: ...So you quit your job, because your bosses kept screwing you around?
  • Felix: Pretty much. It’s more than that, though. If I went to work somewhere else, I’d just have another boss giving me orders.
  • Felix: The only way to break the cycle is to work for myself. No more bosses.
  • Eugene: Yeah! That’s the spirit! No more bosses – live on your own terms, man!
  • Felix: Though my career plans have hit a roadblock recently. I think it happened after I fell through time and space and ended up living on monster island.
  • Eugene: It happens to the best of us!

Eugene and Viola

  • Eugene: ...So you washed up on New Wirral after being shipwrecked in a storm, [pause]right?
  • Viola: Yes, that is correct.
  • Eugene: And you’re looking for your twin brother, Sebastian…
  • Eugene: This just sounds really familiar and I don’t know why. Are you famous? Have we met before?
  • Viola: I can assure you that I am no-one of notoriety or interest. As for whether we’ve met? I’m sure I would remember someone as spirited as thee, Eugene.
  • Eugene: I guess so. Still, your story seems so familiar…

Eugene and Barkley

  • Eugene: ...So you’re a dog.
  • Barkley: Arf!
  • Eugene: …But you can use a cassette player to transform into monsters like the rest of us.
  • Barkley: Arf arf!
  • Eugene: Are you some kind of… magical talking dog? From another world?
  • Barkley: Arf!
  • Eugene: Hmm. I guess not.

Here Comes The Sun

(After meeting The Mer-Line)

  • Eugene: Well, maybe it’s for the best that we don't fight this one. You know what Helia said about Aleph...
