_English:_  
**Guybrush:** Do you have a file?

**Citizen:** Financial files on Stan’s Shipyard?  
**Citizen:** Personnel files for the Sheriff’s Department?

**Guybrush:** Actually, I meant the raspy metal kind.

_German:_  
**Guybrush:** Haben Sie eine Feile?

**Citizen:** Pfeile? Das ist ein Piratenspiel, kein Western.  
**Citizen:** Oder meintest du eine Nagel-Feile?

**Guybrush:** Fast, vielleicht eine große stabile, zum Öffnen von Schlössern?

* * *

_translated from German:_  
**Guybrush:** Do you have a file?

**Citizen:** Arrows? This is a pirate game, not a Western. [The citizen misheard ‘Feile’ (file) as ‘Pfeile’ (arrows)]  
**Citizen:** Or did you mean a nail file?

**Guybrush:** Close, maybe a big, solid one, for opening locks?

* * *

_Italian:_  
**Guybrush:** Hai una lima?

**Citizen:** Ho limaccio, pasticci finanziari sul Cantiere Navale di Stan.  
**Citizen:** Ho limaccio sul Dipartimento dello Sceriffo.

**Guybrush:** In realtà intendevo una striscia di metallo ruvida.

* * *

_Google translated from Italian:_  
**Guybrush:** Do you have a file?

**Citizen:** I have lasso, financial messes on the Stan Shipyard.  
**Citizen:** I work on the Sheriff’s Department.

**Guybrush:** Actually, I meant a strip of rough metal.
