No seriously! Watch the cutscene again, and pay especial attention to when Statesman first screams "AAAUUGH!" and where the word balloon is pointing at before he flips over and continues screaming (and then goes into his "This Was Your Life" sequence, which actually WAS done very well!). I'm telling you, the timing on the appearance of that word balloon ... and its placement on screen is ... most unfortunate.  |

Even if I ignore the fact that it should have been "monologuing", how can I ignore the fact that increasing the number of participants makes it "dialoguing"?|

Perhaps if I were to make a comment in jest about a number of wooden logs...
Oh dear, I'm thinking in text again, aren't I?
Goodbye may seem forever
Farewell is like the end
But in my heart's the memory
And there you'll always be
