Four Painful Years

Listen to their problems briefly before telling the pair they are both wrong. It doesn't matter if they are or not, standing in your way automatically makes their points invalid. Then give them some fortune cookie bullshit about how a blocked river cannot flow or something like that. This should distract them long enough to get past.

You decide to suffer their argument until you can find an appropriate opening. The older Mustafa is bearing down on Trent with the full force of his gigantic bushy moustache. Despite that, the scrappy little redhead manages to find the chutzpah to square up on him.

MUSTAFA: “Four times this week, four times!”

TRENT: “Three, three, actually...”

MUSTAFA: “Doesn’t matter, that’s three too many. If you don’t know how to drive the machines you shouldn’t be on them, end of story.”

TRENT: “Yeah? And how else am I supposed to learn, huh? Who’s gonna teach me, you? Everyone’s too damn busy and I need the forklift to finish picking...”

MUSTAFA: “You know what happens when you try to do picking? Let me tell you. Damaged product - ”

TRENT: “Oh my god, this again...”

MUSTAFA: “Damaged product, broken crates, missing pieces…”

TRENT: “Missing pieces my ass, you didn’t read the signs I made!”

MUSTAFA: “Your job isn’t to make signs, stupid, your job is to be fast and accurate.”

TRENT: “I’ve got a ‘fast accurate job’ for you right here, old man...”

Yeah, you think you’ve heard about enough of this.

>Do what you always do when Mustafa and Trent fight: Yell louder than them so you get their attention.

>Loudly insist that they can it. You're busy waiting to die over here!

JULIE: "Gentlemen!"

MUSTAFA & TRENT: “...!”

JULIE: “So glad to finally have your attention! Are we having a productive morning?”

TRENT: "It's one in the afternoon."

JULIE: "Don't sass me, child."

TRENT: "I'm a year older than you."

JULIE: "Sass, I say!"

MUSTAFA: "... Have you been standing there long?"

JULIE: "Oh, long enough. Enough to understand what's going on."
JULIE: "What did you break this time, Trent."

TRENT: "A crate, but I only grazed it. The stuff inside is fine. As far as I can tell anyway."

JULIE: "Who cleared you for the forklift?"

TRENT: "Well... No one, but - "

JULIE: "Ah ah! Shh, now. Shhhh."
JULIE: "Then you shouldnt've been using it. You aren't licenced and you haven't been trained, you could get us in trouble. Speaking of which, Moose?"

MUSTAFA: "Hmm?"

JULIE: "Ditch the smug, Sonny Jim. Have you been training Trent on the forks before break like I asked you to?"

MUSTAFA: "... Uhhh..."

JULIE: "Right, so, this is how its gonna go from now on."
JULIE: "Trent, Mustafa is going to train you on the forklift before lunch on every day that both of you are working. Until then, do not touch the damn thing unless someone clears you, yes, even if no one else is available and we're on a time crunch. If he forgets, tell Maxwell, or leave a note for me."
JULIE: "Basically, Moose, you're not allowed to be a dick just 'cause you've got seniority, and Trent, ease up on the throttle and quit being a dumbass. Okay? Please tell me I've made myself clear, I'm giving myself a headache."

MUSTAFA: "Okay."

TRENT: "Yeah, crystal."

JULIE: "Fan-freakin'-tastic. Then as grand chief poobah of our great nation I hereby declare this meeting adjourned, may the almighty Lord bless our turkeys or whatever, something something prosperity something..."
JULIE: "Also, next time you guys argue can you do it someplace else so I can just grab my check and go home? Hearts."

Mustafa and Trent go their separate ways. You have successfully cleared the way!

Your Mana has recovered.
You gain 8 Zenny.
You find a Rare Candy, etc, etc.

What do you do?
