                 did you get the information on where it is?

        Ling-Ling: There was a message left for me. But besides that
                   How did you Steve get the Statue?

        Steve: Ah. In the night sky evil chi started to gather so
               I did a little exorcism.

        Steve: Then the Statue fell from the sky.

        Steve: Even though it was a little shattered...

        Ling-Ling: WHAT!!

                   Two-Bit spiritualist, Lying jerk!!

               people the best!!

                to her and walked around in an angry moon for the
                next 3 days.

                disappeared... except for the piece they didn't take.
