It has come to my attention that with our recent influx of visitors to the town, that the threat Drink may once again be making its way through our ranks. [Crane sighs. This is so very frustrating.] I feel that as the doctor of this fine town, it is my duty to remind you not only of your role as civilized, law abiding people, but also of the consequences of such vagrancy. I must remind you not of the virtues of Temperance, but the horrors of Drink. [You can hear him capitalizing the words.]

As our friend Benjamin Rush emphasized so long ago, the impact of Drink cannot be underestimated on the body nor on the mind. If you were to have even one sip, people of the town, rest assured that you would find yourself hopelessly dependant on the substance. Your whole body craving it, you will lose your employment, your home, your family and finally your life. If you think that Drink is worth such a cost, please, I invite you to partake in it.

[He glowers at the camera for a few seconds.]

I also advise that no one visits the show. It is a disrespectful place and dangerous. I will be attending myself in order to make scientific observations, but I encourage all others to avoid it if possible. They will take your hard earned money, as well as poison your body and steal your life.

If you need to send me a message while doing so, do use the journal system. For other concerns, do ask my wife, Piper. Doubtless she will be willing to advise you on any concerns of virtue that you may have. [There's a slight edge in Crane's voice, and he turns off the journal.]

SHE IS

Us. You're disrespecting the town by being here.

We've done nothing but set up and offered our services. It is up to you to take them.

Even by doing that you offer the people of this town unnecessary temptation.

Isn't all temptation unnecessary?

No. It's not. [He ignores the logic problems in that statment.]

So some temptation is necessary?

Who decides what temptation is unnecessary, then?

I will not be pulled into your mind games. Go and bother someone else.

I believe you were the ones bothering us.

You're in my town. So I'm afraid that it's the other way around.

We aren't bothering anyone.

You're bothering me, and the other pious people of this town.

No one says you must visit.

If the other people of the town visit, than so should I. To view any potential affects on their health.

You realize that your reasoning is completely wrong.

I'm afraid it's your reasoning that is wrong.
