#Dialogue options
#If it's in brackets, it means it's just an action, not the character saying anything
#"I'll never answer your question" falls through to "Option1" because there was no goto label specified,
#  so it skips to the next action, which happens to be in Option1.
> The square root is 7 :Option1
> How about now :Option2
> ...I could just watch you practice flying... :Option7
> I'll never answer your question
