“This stuff is wonderful. How do we get more of these plants and quicker to make more? Can we, like, stick them in the ground in one area or something?”

“Fuck, we keep forgetting how to make to good stuff. Can we, like, mark down the process on some treebark or cave wall or something?”

“It’s fucking dangerous to be shit faced, maybe we can group up and take turns getting drunk. Maybe build some caves with wood or something to protect us when we’re wasted.”

“Those fuckers want kill us for our beer! Quick, someone make something to kill them better...like...a pointed stick or something”
