Dunbar only reacts if you show her the LoBlo tablets, not the whole bottle #60

Ms. Dunbar doesn't appear interested.

>SHOW LOBLO TABLETS TO DUNBAR
She glances at the pills. "They're my pills. You must have taken them from my
bathroom. Well, what am I supposed to say?" She looks away.

Shouldn't she react the same way to both? This is what DUNBAR-F does:

           (<VERB? SHOW CONFRONT>
        <COND (<==? ,PRSI ,STUB>
               <PERFORM ,V?ASK-ABOUT ,DUNBAR ,STUB>
               <RTRUE>)
              (<EQUAL? ,PRSI ,LOBLO>
               <TELL
"She glances at the pills. \"They're my pills. You must have taken them from
my bathroom. Well, what am I supposed to say?\" She looks away." CR>)

I think it would make sense to check for both LOBLO and LOBLO-BOTTLE. Though if we do, I guess the message also has to refer either to the pills or the bottle, depending on which you show.
