Notable quotes
There once was a fellow called Garret, Whose sister she did love to bare it, She flashed it around, all over town, so if you would screw her, beware it.

Radscorpion bites, my foot in the box canyon. ''Ow, ow, ow, ow... ow.''

Her hair stands tall, like the spiky bits on a Deathclaw Her eyes are bright as radioactive sludge, glowing with the light of love But when i talk to her, she laughs and mocks and has her brothers beat me Oh, why do nice girls hate me?

Appearances
Jerry the Punk appears in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs

 * Jerry's pathfinding causes him to pace in the dueling ring, unfortunately this causes him to walk right past the Khans attacking the practice dummies. He will subsequently be killed and the quest will fail if the player spends too much time in the area (before or after accepting the quest). Upon the players return, with permission for him to join, he may still be killed in this fashion, thereby rendering the quest impossible to complete if stuck in this reoccurring death loop. Jerry can be protected long enough to complete the quest by reverse pickpocketing stronger armor into his inventory. Even if he dies and after accepting the quest, Julie Farkas will still have all associated quest options in her dialog tree.
