Marklar: Greetings, Marklar! I am Marklar! This is Marklar.
You see, young marklar. Those marklars don't care about marklar marklar. They 
just want 
to take your marklar and marklar their own marklar. The only marklar for this 
is to 
marklar.

Kyle: Marklar, these marklars want to change your marklar. They don't want this 
Marklar or 
any of his marklars to live here because it's bad for their marklar. They use 
Marklar to try 
and force marklars to believe their marklar. If you let them stay here, they 
will build 
marklars and marklars. They will take all your marklars and replace them with 
their 
Marklar. These marklars have no good marklar to live on Marklar, so they must 
come here 
to Marklar. Please, let these marklars stay where they can grow and prosper 
without any 
marklars, marklars, or marklars.

Marklar: Young one, your Marklar is wise and true.
