Advance Wars:
Olaf : Grit! Grit! Where's Grit?
Grit : Easy there! I heard you the first time, O bearded one.
Olaf : Bearded one? Why you...
Grit : A slip of the tongue. My apologies, commander.
Olaf : Enough! Just get ready to move out! Now, listen. Orange Star forces
have been deployed where I anticipated. Their commanding officer is
an untested youngster, but he's not alone. He's working with an
advisor, Advisor. So don't let your guard down! Our contingent in the
area has some indirect combat units for you to use. Now get going,
Mr. Sharpshooter!
Grit : What? You want me to go personally? Like, in person?
Olaf : Why you lazy, no-good... What do you think a commanding officer does?
If you don't get moving...
Grit : All right. Keep your beard on. I don't much like the idea, but I'm
going.
Olaf : Gone at last... He's an impudent rogue, but he's also the best
marksman I've ever seen. Those Orange Star fools will never know what
hit them. Perfect! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
- - - - -
Grit : Possum spit! This area wasn't Blue Moon's to begin with. Blue Moon is
just plain greedy. That's what it is. Fightin' for these folks just
don't sit well with me. Well, I'll guess I'll just mosey on out and
see what happens.
- - - - -
Nell : Advisor! Andy! Pick up now!
Andy : Yeah, Nell. We're here. What's going on?
Nell : We've learned that Grit is the opposing CO! Grit is an indirect-fire
expert whose attack range is larger than normal. Plus, his range gets
even bigger when he uses his CO Power! Make sure you check Grit's
attack range throughout the battle.
Andy : Understood. Hey, Nell... How do you know so much about this guy?
Nell : Well... we used to be... friends. Um, that's all I had to tell you.
Nell out.
Andy : Huh? Nell was sure in a hurry. I wonder what was wrong?
- - - - -
Grit : Sorry 'bout this. But, you've left me no choice.
Grit uses his CO Power, Snipe Attack.
After you have defeated all the enemy units / captured the enemy HQ:
Grit : Hey there, Junior! And what was your partner's name again? Advisor?
Andy : Stop calling me Junior! I have a name! It's Andy!
Grit : Well now! That's the spirit! Y'all are new to the Orange Star Army,
right?
Andy : Yeah, so? Hey! How'd you know that?
Grit : Well now, that's 'cause I'm Grit! I was beholden to Orange Star not
too long ago, myself. So, I'm pretty familiar with most of the
military types. Well, y'all beat me this time. Who knows, maybe we'll
see each other on the flip side. So long, Advisor! You too, Junior!
Andy : ....Stop calling me, Junior!
- - - - -
Olaf : Ha ha ha ha ha! Behold! Gaze upon my beautiful army! Orange Star may
match me in numbers, but I have so much more power!
Grit : But you're not very well balanced... What if the enemy send its subs
under? That'll stop you cold.
Olaf : Battleships at sea! Bombers in the air! Is there anything more I need?
No! Nothing at all! Attack! Attack! Attack!
Grit : Well, as long as you're happy, Boss.
Olaf : The spirits of winter have blessed my army!
- - - - -
Olaf : Grit! Where is that fool?
Grit : I'm right here. What are you bellowing about now?
Olaf : Bellowing? Let me tell you something, you...
Grit : My apologies, exalted commander. I am at your service.
Olaf : That's better. You just remember your place. Now, listen closely.
Those units we saw earlier have advanced further into our territory.
This is your chance to redeem yourself. Do what needs to be done.
Grit : Riiight. So, I should wait here and...
Olaf : Wait? What do you mean wait? Advisor's troops are...
Grit : Oh, OK. Understood. If duty calls, your humble servant Grit'll answer!
Olaf : If I didn't know better, I might think you weren't taking this
seriously.
- - - -
Grit : Howdy Max. Long time, no see.
Max : Grit? Is that you? I was wondering why I hadn't seen you around
lately, and now I know. You're working for Blue Moon! You traitorous
piece of gar--
Grit : Aww, Maxie. Don't be like that. I got my reasons for doin' what I do,
you know? Man, I'm getting out of here before you get started
preachin' again. See y'all down the road!
Max : Hold it, Grit! Dang! He got away. But what's he doing with Blue Moon?
- - - - -
Olaf : Blast! We're running out of opportunities.
Grit : I don't see the need to get so worked up. It's not like this was Blue
Moon property to begin with.
Olaf : What did you say? After all my work and planning?
Grit : It's common theft, man! Nothing more, nothing less.
Olaf : Why, you insolent little...
Grit : Whoa! Hold on chief! Don't you think it's time to move out? Like you
said, the Orange Star troops are knocking on our door.
Olaf : Grit! You're pushing your luck! Don't go anywhere, you understand?
I'll deal with you when I get back.
- - - - -
Olaf : Grrr... Not again! He will not be pleased with me if this losing
streak continues. Grit!
Grit : Yep.
Olaf : Get out there and stop that cursed Orange Star Army!
Grit : Easier said than done, Boss. You didn't leave me anything to work
with.
Olaf : Don't get saucy! Rally the troops and do something! I have to go and
pay him my respects. Don't fail me, Grit!
Grit : Well, I'll be a... Olaf just tucked his tail between his legs and ran
away. Where does that leave me? Guess I'll mosey on down and clean up
his mess.
- - - - -
Max : It looks like we'll be facing Grit next.
Andy : Grit... Is he the guy who keeps calling me junior? Do you know him or
something?
Max : Yeah, you could say that. He, Nell and I used to be friends. He was
always a tough one to figure out, but this Blue Moon stuff...
Andy : Nell knows him, too? Why is he working for Blue Moon?
Max : That's something I'd like to ask him myself. That's why you've got to
let me face him, Andy! Let me take care of Grit!
- - - - -
Max : It looks like we'll be facing Grit next.
Andy : Grit... Is he the guy who keeps calling me junior? Do you know him or
something?
Max : Yeah, you could say that. He, Nell and I used to be friends. He was
always a tough one to figure out, but this Blue Moon stuff...
Andy : Nell knows him, too? Why is he working for Blue Moon?
Max : That's something I'd like to ask him myself. That's why you've got to
let me face him, Andy! Let me take care of Grit!
- - - - -
Max : OK, Grit! Now you're going to answer some questions! Why in blazes did
you go over to Blue Moon?
Nell : Grit!
Max : Nell? What are you doing here?
Grit : Hey there, Nell. It's been a long time.
Nell : Max. Would you please leave us alone for a minute?
Max : Yeah... Sure...
Nell : You look well. I was worried.
Grit : Yeah, I'm doin' all right. How about you? You and Max getting along
all right?
Nell : So that's the reason you left Orange Star. You sensed Max's feelings,
and because he's your friend, you...
Grit : Whoa! Hold on, now. Let me set you straight. I did what I did 'cause
that's who I am, darlin'. I go where I want to go, and stay where I
want to stay. That's it.
Nell : Oh, I...
Grit : See you later, Nell. Take care.
Nell : Grit... Goodbye.
- - - - -
Grit : Nice to see you again, Sonja.
Sonja : Grit! Did you discover anything?
Grit : Nope. Not a darn thing. I was able to follow His Beardedness, but...
I think Olaf himself has been tossed by the wayside.
Sonja : Oh...
Grit : Maybe Olaf'll realize that he's been used. That'd be nice. He ain't
such a bad guy, you know? Let's move on to somethin' else now, Sonja.
Don't you think you're taking things a tad bit too far? There's a
whole mess of folks after you, darlin'. Like all of Orange Star.
Sonja : Really? Actually, I don't think I've done enough. This is invaluable
intel that I'm gathering. I must continue!
Grit : Well, if you're that determined, I guess I ain't nothin' else to say.
I'll go see what else I can find out.
Sonja : OK. Thanks, Grit!
- - - - -
Sonja : Grit!
Grit : Howdy, Sonja! How y'all doing?
Sonja : I've finally got our foe by the tail. I need you to convey some intel
to Andy and his friends.
Grit : And what are you gonna be doing in the meanwhile, darlin'?
Sonja : I need to survey the situation. Don't worry, I won't do anything
foolish. Father warned me to take care.
Grit : You wouldn't be trying to pull the wool over my eyes, would you?
Sonja : Of course not. You'll go, won't you?
Grit : Well, I reckon I have to. Stay put now, I'll be right back.
Sonja : Grit's always been more useful than me... (sigh)
- - - - -
Max : Was that... it?
Sami : It looks like it's finally...
Grit : Andy!
Andy : Hey, it's Grit! Long time, no see.
Grit : No time for that now, Junior. I found the snake's hidin' place!
Max : Huh? Then this isn't...
Grit : That's just the tip o' the ol' boy's tail. Hurry! Sonja's in danger!
- - - - -
Grit : Sonja!
Sonja : Grit? I'm so sorry. Take everyone and run... The enemy... Sturm...
He's much more powerful than I'd imagined... Everyone's going to be...
Andy : This 'Sturm' is the one who did this to you, right?
Sonja : Andy, please... You've got to get away.
Andy : Who's running away? That guy's goin' down!
Grit : Andy's right. There ain't too many people who get on my nerves like
this bozo does. We can't let him go! Advisor! I'll lend you a hand!
Eagle : So that's the face of the enemy.
Sami : Eagle! You're OK! Thank goodness. (sigh)
Eagle : Sami, we'll talk later. First, we must destroy him! Advisor, wasn't
it? I'm yours to command.
Andy : All right, everybody! Let's move out!
- - - - -
Grit : I never shoulda left her alone...
- - - - -
Grit : Think you can handle this?
- - - - -
Grit : I do believe we've reached the end of a long, dusty road. Goodness
gracious! If it ain't my old friend -- big, bearded Olaf.
Olaf : Is that you, Grit? What have I done...? I never realized Sturm was...
Grit : Don't get all long in the face now, Olaf. Everything turned out all
right in the end. And Boss, you still got a lot of work to get done.
Olaf : You... you're right.
Grit : Blue Moon's treated me well, and I'm in her debt. Well, what else can
I do? What do you say? Can I help you rebuild her?
Olaf : Hm? Do you mean you would forgive me my misguided deeds? Grit, you...
you... (sniff, sniff)
Grit : Maybe it was worth Sturm foolin' him just for this.
Olaf : Did you say something?
Grit : Nope. Not a word. Let's say we get movin' on down the road.
