 SCI: QFG4CD: Wrong message audio for Rusalka/flowers

 In the CD version of QFG4 they messed up the messages for giving the
 Rusalka flowers in room 520.

 Floppy messages, first time:
         1.      You give the Rusalka some of the lovely flowers.
         2.      "Thank you for the beautiful flowers.  No one has been so
 nice to me since I can remember."
         3.      "I guess I shouldn't try to drown you now, since you've
 been so kind."

 Floppy messages, subsequent times:
         1.      You give the Rusalka some of the lovely flowers.
         2.      "Thank you.  That's really very sweet.  You are the
 kindest man I know."

 In CD they removed all but the last message from each sequence, but
 assigned the first one audio for a removed message. The correct audio
 exists with its original tuple from floppy and never plays. A copy of the
 final message also exists with its original tuple.

 CD message, first time:
         Audio: "Thank you for the beautiful flowers.  No one has been so
 nice to me since I can remember."
         Text: "I guess I shouldn't try to drown you now, since you've been
 so kind."

 CD message, subsequent times:
         Text/Audio: "Thank you.  That's really very sweet.  You are the
 kindest man I know."

 I suspect they didn't mean to delete any of her lines, possibly not even
 the first, since offering her candy has the same message structure and
 they kept that.

 I don't know what we should do about this. Right now you get audio and
 text that don't match but you're at least kind of getting both messages.
 Just changing this to play the correct audio for the text means losing the
 only version of the other message, since there's no text for it in the
 game. Is there precedent in ScummVM for just adding missing message text
 when the audio is already there? (it could play both of her lines that
 way)

 Attached is a save from CD version at the lake with flowers.
