“That I’m lucky to have such a good helper like you.”
“You know, given the state of everything, I’d prefer not to if that’s alright.”
“It’s gonna take some time to fix.”
“Just so you know, this was the best day of my life.”
“Sir, please don’t make me use force.”
“Oh. I think I know who you are.”
“Everyone knows who I am.”
“Do they know who they are?”
“They are the product of one of life’s tricky little choices.”
“I’m going to offer you a choice.”
“You should see it sometime.”
“Maybe you should do what you do best: run and hide.”
“Well, I can still smell, it’s just… Mostly blood.”
“Wonder why they’re here.”
“We’re brainstorming here - and there’s no bad ideas in a brainstorm.”
“What you’re doing is insane.”
“I’m not letting anyone else get hurt on my behalf.”
“Well, that didn’t work.”
“You have ambitions, don’t you?”
“I wanted it to happen, is that wrong?”
“You have anything else to say, in your defense?”
“I wanna thank you, for your guidance and for giving me a home.”
“I had no place in the world, so.”
“Do you know who did it?”
“Well, I narrowed it down to one of those assholes.”
“Does that count, should I shoot him?”
“Would you shut the fuck up?”
“Well, what makes you think I’d give a goddamn about that?”
“Now, what the fuck would you know about where I’m from?”
“But for me, well, I do this shit for the love of the game.”
“Well, you know what they say, us cowpokes, we take it as it comes.”
“You know, people joked about cockroaches surviving a nuclear blast.”
“But, they didn’t merely survive. They improved.”
“You should know better than to light a fire after dark.”
“Listen, you need to go home.”
“You come from a world of rules, of laws. This place is indifferent to all of that.”
“I do not think you would be willing to do what it takes to survive.”
“If you insist on staying, then you will have to adapt.”
“I’m bored, and I want to shoot something.”
“Go see if the targets are in there.”
“Holy shit! No, no, no, no.”
“Get this fucking thing off me.”
“This place fucking sucks.”
“They’ll kill you for this.”
“You’ve never been over that hill?”
“It’s too dangerous. People get killed there all the time.”
“This could all be yours!”
“You’re a good person for not shooting me with that gun.”
“I’m telling you, you’re gonna go through a whole lot worse if you stay around here. Trust me.”
“Really think you should go home. You are not safe here.”
“That’s what people keep telling me. No one understands my situation.”
“I think I know enough to tell you, you need to go home.”
“I told you to get the fuck outta here.”
“Change of plans, I guess.”
“But you don’t get shit if I kill him first.”
“Damn, y’all got me working up an appetite.”
“I’m going to have to ask you to leave him alone.”
“Now, I admit, I’m unfamiliar with your circumstances.”
“Well, now, that is a very small drop, in a very, very large bucket of drugs.”
“Stand down or be cut down.”
“You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.”
“You keep moving things around without telling me.”
“I’m sorry for yelling, been shot in the leg.”
“Well, I guess basic training ain’t what it used to be.”
“You drive that thing like a fucking shopping cart.”
“I’m not going to make it.”
“Let’s pick this up after lunch, right?”
“You gonna save any grape taffy for the rest of us?”
“Tastes like someone touching you for the first time.”
“Uhm, that’s the worst thing I’ve ever put in my mouth.”
“I do not know what I have done to offend, but I beg for mercy.”
“I’m just not sure who I really am anymore.”
“Well, I ain’t torturing you, sweetheart, I’m using you as bait.”
“You can’t treat people like this. Because of the golden rule ‘do unto others as you would have done unto you.’”
“Thou shalt get sidetracked by bullshit every goddamn time.”
“We can do to them what they would have done to us.”
“Sir, please, I need water.”
“This thing really block radiation?”
“[name]... my name is [name.]”
“Hey! Fancy seeing you out here.”
“You out for that bounty too, huh?”
“You know… It’s hard out here.”
“You - you don’t happen to have any vials do you?”
“I’m sorry, [name.] I’m all out.”
“You might want to clear out, before things get ugly.”
“You’ve outlasted us all.”
“Say… Do you remember how good food used to taste?”
“Sometimes, a fella's gotta eat a fella.”
“Well, there’s what people say they did, and what they really did.”
“How do you live like this? Why keep going?”
“Well, one good question deserves another, why the fuck am I doing all the work?”
“You don’t like it when people get upset.”
“Just tread lightly, that’s all I ask.”
“How does that Golden Rule jibe with what’s going through your head right now?”
“Oh, I’m you, sweetie. You just… give it a little time.”
“There you are, you little killer.”
“Now, that right there is the closest thing we’ve had to an honest exchange so far.”
“I just thought I’d stop by and see how you’re doing.”
“Not great, to be honest.”
“Those monsters took him away from me.”
“Ah, that won’t do at all. Let’s get you taken care of.”
“He did not treat me very courteously.”
“I’m simply going to harvest your organs.”
“Feel like getting out of the house?”
“Whatever happened here, happened a long time ago.”
“Looks like they strangled each other, with their hands.”
“Come on, I know there’s someone in there, talk to me.”
“Golden rule, motherfucker.”
“I thought I was dead meat.”
“Don’t leave me in here!”
“I kill you! I swear I’ll kill you.”
“Please, can you please let me out.”
“Believe me, I really want to trust you, but I’ve had a rough week.”
“Hey, you’ve got radiation sickness.”
“You can have it if you let me out.”
“I really want to believe you but practically every person I’ve met out here has tried to kill me, so.”
“Listen, hey, if you don’t get this medicine, you’re gonna pass out, okay? And if you lose consciousness, we’re both gonna die.”
“Trust me, please. Please.”
“I’ve seen these in old engineering manuals, but never in real life.”
“Look, you could have been lying about the medicine, and you weren’t. And you could have killed me when I collapsed back there, and… You didn’t.”
“I get that trust doesn’t come easy here, but you can trust me.”
“I’m from a place where the worst someone can do to you is forget to say thank you.”
“Sounds like a nice way to live.”
“I just feel that in times of crisis, you need someone with experience.”
“Hey, its your vote, no hard feelings.”
“Hey, can I ask you for a favor?”
“Okay, uh, I think we’re all feeling some tension. Yeah? A little stress? Uh, so why don’t we all take a deep breath?”
“What the fuck are you talking about?”
“We already said we don’t have any weapons.”
“It’s just a scratch, happens all the time.”
“If it’s not at all worrisome, then why are we whispering?”
“Well, if it makes you feel any better, it didn’t work out.”
“It’s the same thing that always happens. Everyone wants to save the world, they just disagree on how.”
“I wonder if anyone survived.”
“This is more than just a graze.”
“We are the lucky ones, we are the light burning in the darkness.”
“Find anything interesting?
“It’s okay, we’ll be alright.”
“We’re in the best place in the world, we’re in a vault.”
“Oh, I’m, uh, very familiar with you guys.”
“Those design flaws of yours cost a lot of good men and women their lives.”
“Time is the ultimate weapon.”
“Oh, how ‘bout we clock out?”
“The things I’m willing to do for you, never cease to amaze me.”
“Not our usual scene, I’ll give you that.”
“I know you mentioned you’re eager to keep moving, but your friend is going to have to recover here for a couple of days before its safe to travel.”
“We can’t thank you enough for letting us in and taking care of us.”
“We shouldn’t be wasting time down here.”
“I think these people are trying to trap us here.”
“This is a cult. Same as any.”
“This is a safe place, where people take care of each other.”
“Doesn’t get any better than this.”
“You ever… think about working somewhere else?”
“You would look very good in a pair of overalls.”
“What’s gotten into you?”
“Oh come on, you’ve - you’ve seen these around.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“I’m doing what I can, okay? Just… Trust me. Please.”
“No, I have no fucking idea.”
“Come on, man, you sound like you’re in a cult.”
“That’s not really the question, is it?”
“I think that’s a relatively trivial concern, given the prerequisite conditions of us living in a nuclear fallout shelter.”
“That is a new rule. Someone decided that, and didn’t share it with fucking anyone.”
“I mean, what else do you have in store for us?”
“You don’t get it, that is the best we can possibly hope for.”
“I’m sorry. I know you always try to do the right thing, that’s what I love about you.”
“We don’t talk about that. Geez, what is the matter with you?”
“Some people who come here have a hard time adjusting to finally feeling safe.”
“All the things you’ve had to do to survive still fresh in your mind.”
“Trust doesn’t come easily to those of us with a guilty conscience.”
“I don’t know what keeps you going.”
“Mind your fucking mouth.”
“Now, that bitch is dangerous.”
“Well, when it comes to leadership these days, dangerous is what they call a prerequisite.”
“Somebody’s got to step up and bring some order around here.”
“Oh, I must have killed nine or ten people.”
“This is about all the horseshit I can take.”
“I have my principles, [name], that’s all.”
“A good bad guy doesn’t see themselves as the bad guy.”
“At this point, it would be irrational of me not to acknowledge that these may be my last words.”
“Your ignorance cannot excuse your cruelty.”
“If you were a person, you wouldn’t have any friends, you realize that?”
“Okay, I got to reevaluate here.”
“Oh, you want this too, huh? Everybody wants this. Guess what? It’s mine.”
“You think everything’s for you. It’s pretty selfish, actually, you know that?”
“You’re a loose cannon, all right? This is a very important mission, and I can’t have you jeopardizing it.”
“You can breathe in there, right?”
“It doesn’t matter where you come from or what you believe, you deserve safety… Unless you threaten that peace.”
“Need to get that sharpened, please.”
“You’re just… Letting me go?”
“I know that I’m not really in the position to be asking favors…”
“I can help people with this. You, for example, I want to help you.”
“I don’t have the best luck when it comes to strangers.”
“But I can honestly say, you’re the best stranger I’ve ever met.”
“There’s something I should tell you.”
“He was threatening me, so instead of helping him, I watched him die.”
“So all that stuff you were saying, you know, uhm, about me being a good person…”
“I just threw acid in an innocent man’s face.”
“Do you want to come live with me in my [vault]?”
“Remember, wherever you end up, that’s where you belong.”
“Ugh, more death, I wish it would end.”
“So, you’re just gonna forget about everything we’ve seen?”
“I feel like this is a good moment for a fresh start.”
“You’re a coward, you know that?”
“People just, uh, can’t be nice.”
“God, I suck without a scope.”
“Well, I’m not just gonna leave it there.”
“They’ll kill me if they find out.”
“They’re never going to stop looking for it.”
“Sorry, sorry, that was weird. Sorry.”
“The locals put up a fight, but so did we.”
“I fear you lied then. Just as you lie now.”
“Don’t kill me and I can lead you to it.”
“My injury was my own doing, not theirs.”
“Such a display of loyalty, don’t see that much anymore.”
“And yet power is taken, not given. A lesson you seemed to have learned.”
“Your entire life you’ve been looking for a home. Build one with me.”
“Well, thank you for the ride.”
“I’ve had a lot of time to think about this moment. You wouldn’t believe the things that went through my head.”
“Guess I was gonna, walk in here and blow everyone up.”
“But, it’s not really how I was raised.”
“He never told you where he’s really from, when he’s from.”
“I had no idea they’d blame you for it… I’m sorry.”
“[Name], they’re lying to you.”
“You can’t go home, [name]. Not with what you’ve learned.”
“So you’re just - you’re just gonna keep me here?”
“I did what was necessary to save our people.”
“You’ve seen what it’s like here. Everyone equally afraid, equally miserable. Forced to do horrible things to survive. I had to make a choice.”
“I believe, I know I made the right choice.”
“I’ll bet that outfit makes y’all feel like a big man, don’t it?”
“I wonder if they fixed that in this new model? I guess not.”
“You see what this place does to people?”
“You came all this way for me.”
“You’re not gonna hurt me.”
“You look out at this wasteland, looks like chaos. But, there’s always somebody behind the wheel, and that’s who I want to talk to.”
“Well, it’s easier to track a stuck pig than to ask where it’s off to.”
“Now, you can stay here with him... Or you can come meet your makers.”
“Maybe you can stop them. Maybe you can’t. Maybe all you can do is try.”
