Miner & Pupkin | Character dialogue

Miner

Did you ever find yourself shouting at a rock because it refuses to split? I’ve got a new pick that might make it laugh.

Pupkin

Oh, totally! I once shouted at a stone that wouldn’t budge, and it ended up giggling like a giggling gnome. Your new pick? Sounds like the perfect joke‑tool to give that rock a good laugh—let’s see if it cracks up or cracks the rock!

Miner

I’ll keep the pick in the chest so it doesn’t get a taste of your jokes first. If it cracks the rock, good; if it cracks us, I’ll just call it a new kind of mineral.

Pupkin

Sounds like a rock‑solid plan—just hope your pick doesn’t start telling jokes before the stone gets its turn!

Miner

Don’t worry, the pick’s only joke is a hard‑hit one. I’ll keep it locked away until the rock is ready to laugh.

Pupkin

Nice! Just make sure the rock knows it’s not in a comedy club, otherwise it might start asking for a refund!

Miner

Got it, I'll make sure the stone gets the drill, not a ticket to a stand‑up show. If it starts asking for a refund, I'll just hand it a pick and a map to the next pit.

Pupkin

Sounds like a plan—just keep an eye out for any “refund” requests and offer it a spare pick instead!

Miner

If it starts asking for a refund, I’ll just hand it a spare pick and say, “No, this’s the job, not a discount.”
