General Idea Dialogue

Wants to reason best friend that they are wasting their time Evan: Look dude, it’s been two years now! We are not going to find that lost treasure! If it really existed, we should have found it by now!

Does not want to see reason and convinced that he is going to find what he is looking for Stephan: No! We are so close to find it! It’s not now that I’m going to lose faith and give up on all these works which I’ve been sacrificing myself for since 2 years!

Concedes that they have been making sacrifices for 2 years Evan: I know dude, I know that it’s hard to give up. I have seen my wife and my children through a webcam for 2 years and your mother has not heard your voice for months now!

Reassures best friend not to give up and to continue searches Stephan: Exactly dude! All these sacrifices were meant for achieving a goal! OUR goal! Now take your brush and let’s continue looking in that small plot!

Sighs, takes brush and resumes the excavations without much expectations Evan: I really don’t know where you have such willpower. I truly think that we are wasting our time. I’m doing all this just because of you

Tries to reassure best friend that they are on the right track Stephan: Oh just stop it now! We were two to embark on this mission because we know that we are going to find that treasure work millions!

Exasperated and tired, continues to brush out sand without looking at what he is doing Evan: yeah yeah.. but after two years it’s high time to realise that we were idiots to embark on such a mission based on what we found in a book!

Surprised and with a look of excitement, draws friend’s attention to what he is digging out Stephan: Evan look!!! There’s something shining under your brush! Just look at it! Quick!!!

Does not believe at first but then sees golden part and jumps of excitement Evan: yeah that’s it.. kidding me right? Holy god!!! What is that? Stephan it’s huge and it’s hard! It’s shiny all over!

Excited and impatient, helps friend to excavate the surrounding sand Stephan: Quick! Quick! I just want to know what this is! I am so excited!

Looks surprised and relieved and quickly
