Jack (PoOT)/Quotes

Greetings

 * First Introduction: "Heya. You looking for anything in particular? Oh, so you're [Player]. I heard about you from the mayor. I'm Jack, your friendly neighborhood general of general store generalities! ....Okay, that flopped. I'm Jack. Nice to meetcha."
 * "G'morning, [Player]. You're up early."
 * "Hey. What're you up to today?"
 * "Hey, [Player]. Wanna hang out with me for a while? Forcing yourself to be productive all the time's no good for the noggin', y'know."
