Dialogue Tree

The Dialogue Tree is a minor character in Broken Age.

Biography
The Dialogue Tree is a talking tree located in the forest. It hates most humans, particularly Vella and Curtis, but takes a liking to Shay.

Act 1
Vella first interacts with the Dialogue Tree by cutting its "mouth" open with an axe. This causes the tree to hate Vella. Vella later shows the tree a wooden stool to make it throw up sap into a bucket.

Act 2
Shay shows the Dialogue tree a picture of Vella, which causes him to vomit sap onto the Sand Superconductive Gyroscopic Hypocam. Later, Shay must tell him a joke to cause the tree to laugh enough so the Singing Fish falls from his branches.

Quotes
"Murderer!"

Vella: "I'll let you get back to your screaming."

Tree: "Yeah, please leave before I vomit, you foul, rootless stump!"

(Example of a joke the tree will laugh at)

Shay: "Did you hear about the First National Tree Bank?"

Tree: "No, what? I have all my money in the First National Tree Bank!"

Shay: "It closed down."

Tree: "Oh no, my whole life savings!"

Shay: "Don't worry, it just started a new branch."

Tree: "Oh, heh. Oh! Hahahaa!"
