Nina: Yeah whatevah lady, juzz tell mae whut I need tae know.

Mysterious Old Woman: Of course, of course, I'm sensing you're a very goal orientated person. I shall consult the cards, the wisdom of the gods will guide your destiny!

Nina: Whatevah...

Mysterious Old Woman: (Gasp!) It's the Moogle Card!

Nina: Dat's good right?

Mysterious Old Woman: Oh I'm afraid not, the Moogle Card foretells an unexpected adversary. A friend in disguise as it were. Hmmm...the Leviathian Card, this is most strange...

Nina: God-dammit woman, spit it out!

Mysterious Old Woman: This card means your enemy will be stealthy, slippery like an eel.

Nina: Can't ya read anythang positive?

Mysterious Old Woman: I'm sensing a bitter past, frought with conflict and bitter memories. You have strong friendships now but back then...I'm not so sure.

Nina: Listen lady I ain't payin' 200 gil a minute ta listen to this crap, give me somethang I can use!

Myterious Old Woman: Very well. Hmmm...the Knights of the Round card, I can see strong powerful men in your future, but, oddly I sense unhapiness. You have a bitter resentment towards these men.

Nina: Now I know I didn't juzz hear ya say da ''m'' woard. I got 'nuff trouble in mae life without throw'n those self-serving bastards inta da mix. Der's no such thang as a decent man, each one's worse th'n da next. Don't evah, evah mention dat woard ta mae again!

Mysterious Old Woman: Very well, hmmm, I'm seeing something else now. It's big, quite large actually. It seems to lie in your not too distant future.

Nina: Juzz whut da hell is it?

Mysterious Old Woman: Oh! It's a phone bill! Good-day!

Line goes dead.
