Hank in Abbey, "COULD SOMEONE BRING ME A LIGHTER." should be "!" instead of ".".
Abbey healer, "Fine, GOODBYE." should be "!" instead of ".".
I would argue that it's a bit subjective. To me, those could easily be:
"COULD SOMEONE BRING ME A LIGHTER?"
and
"Fine. GOODBYE."
(with a period instead of a comma)
Those particular dialogue files were made by me and i meant them to be shoutings.
BTW, i think various Abbey character dialogues have spelling errors because my english isn't perfect (was worse when i made them). Maybe someone with good english skills should proofread them....
For "COULD SOMEONE BRING ME A LIGHTER?", I'm with merenbach. In standard English, even rhetorical questions are punctuated with question marks. The ALL CAPS is enough to indicate the shouting. (If desired, though, a double punctuation of !? can be used.) The "Fine. GOODBYE." line works in any of the three ways proposed. I'd vote for the version with the period, though.
And yes, after a brief (12-month) hiatus, I'm back for a while and can do a bit of testing. I've missed you guys (and gals) ...
...but my aim is improving!
