Comment (by Vhati):

 Found another: telling Chief about the Burgomeister burglary.
 \\

 These are the self-dialogue results for both CD and Floppy editions under
 ScummVM, and their original interpreters.

 __Monster Chief__
 * [...]
 * "Old man's house"
   * "You tell the Chief about your break in at the Old Man's house."
 * "Burgomeister's office"
   * "You tell the monster about your break-in at the Burgomeister's
 office."
 * "Make Thief Sign"
   * "Feeling like an idiot (as you generally do when making the Sign), you
 go through the motions of performing the Thief Sign to the monster."

 __Human Chief, recently transformed__
 * "Monastery break in"
   * No narrator. Chief immediately replies. (This is another simple
 solution to faulty narration.)
 * [...]
 * "Make Thief Sign"
   * "Feeling like an idiot (as you generally do when making the Sign), you
 go through the motions of performing the Thief Sign to the **monster**."

 __Human Chief, after re-entering__
 * [...]
 * "Old man's house"
   * "You tell the Chief about your break in at the Old Man's House."
 * "Burgomeister's office"
   * "You tell the **monster** about your break-in at the Burgomeister's
 office."
 * "Make Thief Sign"
   * "Feeling like an idiot (as you generally do when making the Sign), you
 go through the motions of performing the Thief Sign to the **monster**."

 Bonus: "break-in" vs "break in". *eyeroll*

 It's a little odd that burglary mentions are split that way. Limited
 screen real estate, I guess.
