English

OE Icon CQ Cumber.png C.Q. Cumber's Quotes

Please score a bingo for me.
A bingo means three 8-balls lined up vertically, horizontally, or diagonally.
Once a ball falls into a hole, the next one will appear—you'll get four balls to use.
You didn't make a bingo—test failed.
You let an 8-ball fall—test failed.

Ahoy—there's the next ball!
I like the looks of this!

OE Icon Marina.png Marina's Quotes

Vertical, horizontal, or diagonal... Which should we try for?
It looks like getting a ball into a hole makes the next ball appear.
This is the fourth and final ball. It's all riding on this one!

OE Icon Pearl.png Pearl's Quotes

Looks like you can use that ink cannon to send the balls flying!
That's almost a bingo!
