Dialogue for Vortis, a slaver in the NCR Bazaar.

{100}{}{You see a scrawny old guy with a pen stuck behind his ear and spectacles balanced on the end of his nose.} {101}{}{It's Vortis, the owner of this slave pen.} {102}{}{He's got about three teeth. His fingers and shirt are stained with blue ink. There's a really faded slaver's tattoo on his forehead.} {103}{}{So what do you want?} {104}{}{Brother, welcome to Vortis' hall. How can I help you?} {105}{}{You're starting to annoy me.} {106}{}{This place is my place and I, Vortis, run an honest and legitimate busines no matter what anybody in NCR tells you. Since NCR doesn't allow slaves inside the gates, I mind them for folks who've got business inside.} {107}{}{What are you, dense? This is a slave pen. I got licenses for it.} {108}{}{} {109}{}{Just got some questions.} {110}{}{I'm looking for work.} {111}{}{Uh?} {112}{}{Not outhouse? Me go away.} {113}{}{What's this place do?} {114}{}{Nothing. Wrong place.} {115}{}{Oh, look - the goody two-shoes, lollipop kid. Boys, escort this hypocritical paragon of saintly virtue out of my sight!} {116}{}{Fuck this.} {117}{}{Well?} {118}{}{I'm looking for Vault 13.} {119}{}{Do you have a GECK?} {120}{}{What can you tell me about this town?} {121}{}{You're slaver scum! Why shouldn't I kill you?} {122}{}{I heard there's these guys - New California Rangers. They been giving you any trouble?} {123}{}{Mind if I have a look around?} {124}{}{Work? Well...there might be something. You ever hear of the New California Rangers?} {125}{}{Yes.} {126}{}{No.} {127}{}{Fuck you. Boys, escort this annoying crud out of my sight.} {128}{}{Bite me!} {129}{}{Vault 13! Get outta here. Damn place is a myth. Vault 13, my ass.} {130}{}{Another question...} {131}{}{Well, thanks for nothing.} {132}{}{A what? Well, whatever it is, I ain't got it.} {133}{}{Another question...} {134}{}{Well, thanks for nothing.} {135}{}{New California Republic - nothing but temperance types and merchants. Got a bug about slavers and slavery, but what the hell, it makes my business.} {136}{}{Another question...} {137}{}{Thanks, got to go.} {138}{}{Somebody steered you wrong. I don't have no trouble with nobody - especially not no Rangers. I'm all legal, so there ain't nothing on me.} {139}{}{Another question...} {140}{}{Whatever you say. I'll be going.} {141}{}{Yeah, I may have some feelings about the Rangers. You looking for work?} {142}{}{Yes.} {143}{}{No.} {144}{}{No, you may not go nosing around, shit-for-brains! This ain't a museum!} {145}{}{Another question...} {146}{}{You're too touchy for me. I'm leaving.} {147}{}{Well then, you should know some folks see them as a potential problem. It would be extremely useful if we had a map of their safe houses through the north - New Reno, Klamath, wherever. I'd be willing to pay, oh say, $500 for something like that. You think you could get that for me?} {148}{}{Sure.} {149}{}{I don't think so.} {150}{}{Let me tell you, then. These Rangers have got it in their heads to wipe out slavery and slavers - by force. They've been creating a lot of trouble for hard working folks.} {151}{}{They work in secret, especially up north.} {152}{}{Jeez, I got to spell this out for you? They raid slavers, drive off the stock, and smuggle 'em down south to NCR lands where slavery's illegal. So you interested?} {153}{}{There is no "and"! You want the job or not?} {154}{}{And?} {155}{}{So what you want me to do?} {156}{}{Fine. When you get me a map, I'll be here.} {157}{}{Where am I going to find a map?} {158}{}{Okay, I got some other questions, though.} {159}{}{I'm on it. I'll see you then.} {160}{}{How the hell should I know!? If I knew, I'd have it, wouldn't I? Look, there's supposed to be a cell in town. Find them and see what you can do.} {161}{}{Just a few more questions.} {162}{}{Alright. I'll be back.} {163}{}{You're back again. Did you get that map?} {164}{}{Yes.} {165}{}{No} {166}{}{I'm still waiting for you to finish the first job!} {167}{}{Oh yeah, I forgot} {168}{}{Not since you did your job. Thanks.} {169}{}{Just a question or two.} {170}{}{No problem. Bye.} {171}{}{Good work. Now you best make yourself scarce, in case those Rangers ever wise up.} {172}{}{Pleasure doing business.} {173}{}{Well don't hang around here, you moron! Somebody'll get suspicious.} {174}{}{All right, I get the hint.} {175}{}{What the fuck? Guards! We got an intruder!} {176}{}{Go in there and I'll blow your head off. Understand?}
