Young Hearts

Young Hearts is a side quest in Fallout: New Vegas.

Detailed walkthrough
To begin the quest the Courier must talk to Jack and make a 35 Speech check. The quest can also begin with the Confirmed Bachelor or Black Widow perk. Jack reveals that he's in love with Janet, a Crimson Caravan employee he has never met. The Courier agrees to speak to Janet at the Crimson Caravan Company, which is east of both Freeside gates. Speaking to her reveals that she has seen Jack from afar and that she is interested in him. If having the Black Widow perk there is an option to make her jealous and want to rush over. However she can't enter the Boomers' territory without attracting their fire. Lady Killer makes her admit she's dying to meet Jack. One can tell her they'll ask Pearl for permission, or...

QUEST FAILURE: One may lie with a 55 Speech check telling her that she's expected, and it's safe to approach Nellis Air Force Base. Doing so will fail the quest, and one will earn negative Karma. This will result in Janet's death as she attempts to approach Nellis AFB. If being near Nellis while Janet is trying to approach the base, one can hear the Boomers firing at her. They will only stop when she's dead.

At Nellis AFB, convince Pearl to allow Janet entry into Nellis. A Speech check of 50 garners Janet "a free pass to enter." Without the Speech check, the quest will play out the same using the normal dialogue options. If having not enough Speech skill, one must complete the quest Ant Misbehavin' first in order to be able to convince Pearl.

Return to Jack at the Hangar. He'll give Janet's Boomer outfit (a weightless quest item) and ask to deliver it to her. Return to Crimson Caravan and give Janet the Boomer outfit. Once again, one may lie to Janet with a 50 Speech check and tell her she has safe passage without the suit, resulting in her death, failure of the quest, and negative Karma.

Janet will then ask to speak with her boss, Alice McLafferty, about releasing Janet from her work contract. Alice agrees to let Janet go, but she forfeits her wages as penalty for breaking the contract. With Barter 65 or Speech 75 one may convince Alice to pay Janet what she owes while letting her out of her contract. If the Barter or Speech is insufficient, they can still accept the deal and Janet is set free, without pay. Return to Janet to give her the good news; she'll immediately bolt for Nellis AFB, where the Courier needs to meet her. If the player character previously killed Alice during Heartache by the Number, Janet will remark on her former employer being deceased thus negating her contract and head straight for Nellis AFB.

As long as Janet has the Boomer outfit the Courier gave her, all that is needed to do is meet her at Nellis. After a couple of fast-travels and/or waiting, Janet will run through Nellis AFB's front gate. Speak to her at the gate or at the hangar, and then speak with Jack to conclude the quest. The reward is 300 XP.

Behind the scenes
Jack and Janet may be a reference to Jack Tripper and Janet Wood from the American sitcom Three's Company.
