Of course not

From now on, the dialogue will be in script form, like it is in the game. this should be less confusing and easier to write.

DALTON: I....I WON'T STAND ASIDE FOR THE LIKES OF YOU!!!

MARLE: No big shock there.

DALTON: Quiet, girl! Now, i'll split you all in two!!

LUCCA: With what?

DALTON: With the....oh, no!

Dalton's face fell as he realized he'd just handed his sword to Crono. Crono smirked and pointed it at him. Dalton stepped back, but Crono only stepped forward, still smirking. The villain knew his time had come.

DALTON: You're....oh, PLEASE don't kill me!!

LUCCA: And why not?

DALTON: Because only I know where that woman is being held.

MARLE: Which woman?

DALTON: The one with the purple hair and green dress!

LUCCA: Are you sure that's who you saw? Purple hair and green dress?

DALTON: Yes! Totally, 110% sure! I'll take her to you, if you spare me!

LUCCA: Sorry, but we're not after anyone like that.

Dalton gasped as his slip-up dawned on him. They tricked him, though as far as he knew, for only the first time. Crono raised the Masamune, making Dalton flinch. He looked back at the girls, questioningly.

LUCCA: Do it, Crono. He'll only try to kill us again if you don't.

DALTON: No! I swear, if you spare my life, i'll never kill again! And i'll be honest, too! I'll start right now! I never saw any woman like that come through here, nor have my scouts. If they did not see her, she did not come here. See? I swear that is the truth. Now please don't slay me!

MARLE: Do you think he's telling the truth, Crono?
