You'll have to say bye-bye to those hard-earned banana skills of yours. But it's just temporary! I swear I'll make sure your skills are fully restored... after your work is complete. Gyahahaha!" (After starting the first Emerald Rush)

During an Emerald Rush

After finishing all initial VoidCo Rewards

• "GYAAAHAHAHA!"

I'll recharge my Pay-Dirt Piledriver with its special emerald energy and fly to international markets all over the globe! VoidCo's exclusive emerald energy will be sold worldwide - but only after I make everyone beg me for it first!"
• "I'm finally going to get what I deserve... Infinite wealth will be mine!"
