Grim Fandango

by Luisfe

Part 23

It is time to get Lola's photograph, her last clue was a picture of some cats in a cat race.
And a blimp... Hm.

Video

Doug?

Who is Doug?

There are two of them!

Funny thing. In the game's auto dump, bot are identified as "Doug".

Well, it is time to blackmail Virago.
Video

The jail is now empty.

What could've Glottis do to get in the jail?

But Nick knows how to get them out. Heh.

No more chatting with the coroner then.

Manny can join in the protesting. But it is annoying. Mess up the timing and it has to start again.

Just what Manny needs to get Glottis in the Limbo.

Lazy bum. You are an adventure game character! You have infinite storage and no emcumbrance levels!

With the bees on Strike, you are most likely correct.

Let's see what Velasco has to say about the recent developements.

Manny
Sprouted? What's happening to this town.

Velasco
Oh, big city crime, Manny, we're gettin' more of it every day.
I know you probably hate getting it this way, but Naranja's job is yours now.

Manny
No, Velasco... I don't know if I'm comfortable taking that...

Velasco
You'll take his job because there's no one else I can get on such short notice!
Now, what about these tools, where are they?

Manny
They're too big for me to carry.
Glottis will bring them when we board.

Velasco
Hmmm.
Eh, about that union card, Manny...

Manny
I have one, I just left it in my other coat.

Velasco
Well, I look forward to seeing it.
Don't just sit around here collecting barnacles!

Manny
Right!

Let's go back to the High Rollers Lounge.

See that door there? Before this playthrough I NEVER noticed it. Always missed this conversation.

Video

I am going to try to show him the photograph of Nick and Olivia kissing.

Bah, Manny's no fun.
Back to the Lounge's kitchen. Manny needs to go to the Basement.
This is how he does it.
Video
Take that, you french waiter guy.

Now, this puzzle is annoying, and if you have not patched the game, INCREDIBLY difficult and/or impossible. Fortunately, I have patched my copy of the game, and it is easy. Still very annoying, though.

Inside the elevator.

Pressing it activates the elevator.

Then how did they put this in here?

There, stuck between floors.

Durr.

Using that might or might not help this situation.

It did.

Niiiice carvings.

Spanish for "Oh my God!"
And so IT WAS the suitcase that was mentioned in the jail.

So that's the result of the corrupt dealings in the DoD.

Durr.
Charlie gets his suitcase back. Manny gets the Union Card.
Video

Let's see what Velasco has to say about this.
Velasco
And the card, let me see it.
Uh-hoh.
Ohhhh...One of Charlie's rush jobs...
Good thing your new captain's far-sighted!
Looks like you're all ready to go, Manny!
Except one. Where's that piano-player of yours?

Manny
He's having a little good-bye party.
I'll go get him.

Velasco
Tell him to hurry up! The Limbo can't sail without him!
Don't just sit around here collecting barnacles!

Manny
Right!

And now, the last thing in year 2. Video!
