- Panel 1
Haley: I can't believe this! Now we're "The Order of the Stick, as fearlessly led by Roy's pants".
Durkon: Haley, lass, wait up.
Durkon: Ye know Roy wouldn't be goin' along with this if he dinnae think it was the right thing. An' so do I.
- Panel 2
Haley: Yeah? Well I don't. Not that anyone around here respects my opinions or anything.
Haley: "Gosh, Haley, I think you're just being paranoid about these fine Linear Guild folks." Anyone else remember that?
Haley: Letting myself get arrested would be just about the dumbest thing I could possibly do right now.
- Panel 3
Haley: Tell you what, Durkon. You think I should go, then put your money where your mouth is. I'll make you this bet:
Haley: I'll give you 3 chances to give me one good reason—just one!—to not sneak off in the middle of the night with my cut of the loot. Do it, and I'll stay. Fail, and I take half YOUR cut with me when I leave.
- Panel 4
Durkon: I'll take tha bet. Here's me first reason:
Durkon: Elan.
Haley: Please. Do you really think I couldn't get him to come with me if I tried my hardest? He's a bard, he can't BE Lawful.
- Panel 5
Durkon: OK, then, me second chance: What aboot tha treasure?

- Panel 9
Haley: Have you looked at the carts?? We have like a million gold pieces there! A trip to the nearest big city might cost like 1000 gp, tops, if I stayed in a good inn every night. I can totally afford it!
