Four Hearts

Trigger: Enter the Saloon during open hours.

When you enter the bar, Gus will be sitting at one of the tables looking dejected. When you ask what's wrong, he'll tell you that the saloon is having hard times financially. He'll admit that at least one problem is that Pam isn't paying off her tab and he's afraid to confront her because they are friends. Pam will then enter and ask for a drink. Gus will be flustered and concede, but you will get the choice to either say:

"You need to pay off your bar tab!"

"The saloon is having hard times financially..."

Your relationship with Pam will not be affected either way, but she will end up paying the tab and Gus will be relieved.
