{100}{}{You see a particularly leathery-looking Ghoul.} {101}{}{You see Harold.} {102}{}{You see a very old but still spry-looking ghoul.} {103}{hld1a}{I gotta tell ya, ol� Harold�s a bit slow on the draw hisself. The two of us talkin� wouldn�t get a whole lot done.} {104}{hld1b}{Ahh, ain�t you cute. I just don�t have time to try understanding ya right now.} {105}{hld1c}{Heh heh, ain�t you a kick. } {106}{hld2a}{Hello there, smoothskin. The name�s Harold. I help keep this town running.} {107}{hld2a1}{Whatcha need, youngster?} {108}{hld2b}{Well, golly-be-damned, smoothskin. You did us a great favor helping out our power plant. The name�s Harold. I keep this town running.} {109}{hld2c}{Mighty kind o' ya helping us out with the atomic power plant. We�re in your debt. Now, what can this cranky-old carcass do for ya?} {110}{hld2d}{You are somethin'. Just like the original. What can old Harold do for ya, Vault Dweller? } {111}{hld2e}{Haven�t you done enough harm, smoothskin? What do you want now?} {112}{}{Smoothskin? Why did you call me that?} {113}{}{Vault Dweller? I�m not a Vault Dweller.} {114}{}{Hello, Harold. What do you do here?} {115}{}{Is there someplace I can barter or re-supply here?} {116}{}{Is that a tree growing out of your head?} {117}{}{You must know if there�s something called a Garden of Eden Creation kit here.} {118}{}{Harold, I�d like to know where I can get some healing.} {119}{}{I know you�re probably still mad, but you mentioned the Master. My ancestor killed him.} {120}{}{Hello, Harold. Just passing through. Goodbye.} {121}{hld3}{Wha-whatever it takes to keep this place together. Better job on it than me.} {122}{}{This place is coming apart?} {123}{}{You don�t sound so good.} {124}{hld3a}{Yep, but I�m doing great for being dead! I never get tired of the looks when I tell that one.} {125}{}{Ahh, right....So you say the place is falling apart?} {126}{}{Dead, you say? Well, in that case you�re doing great. So good you can answer my next question.} {127}{hld4a}{Well, sorta. Our atomic reactor�s a mite...sensitive. The people I got running it mean well, but... well, they are not the sharpest tools in the shed. If you know what I mean.} {128}{hld4b}{Well, we�re doing better now you�ve fixed our reactor. I�d never thought anybody�d get those idjits in Vault City to help us out.} {129}{hld4c}{You know, it�s not so bad now. You fix the power plant, then you get the info we need to make it good-as-new. Golly-be-damned, ain�t you somethin'?!} {130}{}{What do you mean?} {131}{}{I didn�t want to see Vault City destroy your town.} {132}{}{Well, I didn�t want to see Vault City destroy your town. Besides it was in their best interest to fix your power plant as well.} {133}{}{Well, since it�s in Vault City�s best interest to fix up your reactor, it wasn�t too hard to get the Optimization info from them.} {134}{}{I don�t like to complete any job only half-way.} {135}{}{Well, I�d love to stay and chat with you but I�ve got things to do and places to go. Good luck.} {136}{hld5}{Well, technically... it�s a thingie.} {137}{}{Okay, what does it do?} {138}{hld6}{Need a little time on the whetstone yourself, huh? I mean they are not too bright. Here�s an example. The other day I get a report. On it, it says the main coolant valve should be shut down. That woulda caused a meltdown that would make the Grand Canyon look like a pig wallow.} {139}{}{That sounds bad.} {140}{hld7}{Uh, yeah, that would be bad. Now, I got things fixed up in time, but we came close to the end there. They need someone to watch out for �em.} {141}{}{Good thing you�re here to help them.} {142}{hld8}{Who�d a thought I�d be making things right? Although if we don�t get a Hydroelectric Magnetosphere Regulator pretty damn quick, there is gonna be trouble.} {143}{}{What the hell is Hydra-magna-whateveraltor?} {144}{}{Hmm, sounds like a real problem all right. Let me ask you something else.} {145}{}{Trouble? What kind of trouble?} {146}{}{Well, I�ve taken enough of your valuable time. Goodbye.} {147}{hld9}{Heck, if it weren�t for you, them damn idjits in Vault City woulda laid us out for the big dirt nap.} {148}{}{I couldn�t let Vault City kill all of you.} {149}{}{Happy to help out, Harold. Let me ask you about something else, though.} {150}{hld11a}{Mighty kind a'ya. Not many smoothskins would do that for a town full of ghouls. Kinda reminds me of a smoothie I knew, way back when.} {151}{hld11b}{You know, you�re a lot like the Vault Dweller.} {152}{}{Another smoothie? What do you mean?} {153}{}{Thanks. I�m hoping to live up to my ancestor. Let me ask you something else while I'm here that might help.} {154}{}{Happy to help. Let me ask you about something else though.} {155}{}{Well, all in a day�s work really. I need to be going now, though. People to save, monsters to slay, disasters to avert, you know, all that sort of thing. Goodbye.} {156}{hld14}{You cut with the dull edge of the knife, don�t ya? You don�t look like an orange peel left in the sun all day. Your skin�s still soft and purty. } {157}{}{Got me there. I�ll try to make my next question a little more worthwhile.} {158}{}{Oh. Yeah. Hey, let me ask you something else.} {159}{}{You just better not be getting any funny ideas about my soft skin.} {160}{}{Uh, well, I better be going. Goodbye.} {161}{hld15}{Funny ideas? Well, you mean like skinning you alive with a rusty, dull, old knife and then grafting your still-warm, wet, glistening, oh-so-soft, skin over my crusty-rotten gook?} {162}{}{Hey! You just keep the hell away from me. I�m getting out of here while I still have my skin!} {163}{}{Yeah, that�s exactly what I meant. Good call.} {164}{hld16}{Well, you don�t have anything to worry about....can�t find my knife.} {165}{}{How �bout I change the subject with another question?} {166}{}{Well, you just better keep your grubby mitts off my skin. Goodbye.} {167}{hld17}{More skin! ... Need more skin! (chuckles) What happ'n? Drop your sense of humor in the dust on the way into town?} {168}{}{I�ve got a lot on my mind, all right? I need some more information.} {169}{}{I think I�ll go look for it. Goodbye.} {170}{hld18}{I just let a big fart and it still doesn�t cover your stink. Why don�t you just drift outta here?} {171}{}{Okay, but first I wanted to apologize for the way I acted earlier.} {172}{}{Put a sock in it ya smelly old ghoul. Goodbye.} {173}{hld19}{That�s a start, but you�re gonna have to do better.} {174}{}{I don�t know what else to say. I guess I just don�t deal well with things that are new to me. I am sorry, though.} {175}{}{Okay, how �bout this? If I had jerky that looked half as bad as you do I�d burn it just to keep from poisoning any scavengers that might happen upon it. Bye.} {176}{hld20a}{Well, alright. But you�d better stop being a bonehead. } {177}{hld20b}{Well, I tell ya youngster. Nice try but yer still an idjit. Maybe this�ll be the lesson you need. You are outta here.} {178}{}{I�m sorry. Now that we�ve got that settled. Let me ask you something.} {179}{}{Okay, goodbye.} {180}{hld21a}{I�d rather look like this than look like you and have to be you. You are a bonehead. Get the hell outta here. } {181}{hld21b}{You�re like that bad booger ya can�t shake off your finger. But I�m still shaking.... Oh look, there ya go!} {182}{hld21c}{Well, look what the wind pooped in. My favorite turd. Why don�tcha just squish on outta here?} {183}{hld21d}{Wanna know how to keep an idjit in suspense?} {184}{hld21e}{Hey, I was hoping you�d show up. You won a prize for bein' the biggest jerk. There�s a party in your honor ten miles north of town. Better hurry.} {185}{hld26}{Their best interest? What do you mean?} {186}{}{Well, according to some economic data I got hold of Vault City is much better off if they help you to repair your power plant.} {187}{}{I mean, it�s always better to try to get along with others.} {188}{}{Uh, nothing.} {189}{}{Wow, it�s much later than I thought it was. I better be going. Goodbye.} {190}{hld27}{Economic data? You didn�t give them that information th-that Gordon keeps flapping his yap about, did you?} {191}{}{Uh, yes I did. Why?} {192}{}{Uh, no, of course not.} {193}{hld28}{Yeah, well, I�m sure some bonehead, very much like yourself, said the same thing about the Master.} {194}{}{Sounds like a great story. Wish I had time to hear it but I gotta go.} {195}{}{The Master? My ancestor killed him!} {196}{hld29}{Nothing, huh? I�m not buyin' it. You just put us in a bind. Why don�t you skidaddle while I thinka what to do.} {197}{}{Uh, sorry.} {198}{}{Yeah, sure. Why don�t you just do that. Geez, try to help some people....} {199}{hld30}{Why?! Now Vault City knows just how much we need uranium ore from Broken Hills. They could cut off them shipments and we�d be finished.} {200}{}{Oh, it can�t be as bad as all that. They seemed like reasonable people to me.} {201}{}{I didn�t know that was what they�d use the information for. I�m sorry. Goodbye.} {202}{hld31}{Well, I sure hope not. Those idjits in Vault City hate ghouls. They�d cut off our ore shipments from Broken Hills in a white-hot minute. Then they�d set the terms. Wouldn�t be long until Gecko�d be a slave camp.} {203}{}{Oh, I�m sure they wouldn�t do that. They seem pretty reasonable.} {204}{}{Well, it�s a good thing I didn�t tell them anything like that then. Heh, heh. Hey, let me ask you something else.} {205}{}{Well, shit happens. Sometimes it happens to you. Goodbye.} {206}{hld32}{Reasonable? Reasonable! Well, I�m sure people said the Master was reasonable, too. What a bonehead. Get the hell out. Now!} {207}{}{Maybe they have the right idea. Maybe it�s time to put an end to freaks like you. Goodbye.} {208}{}{Uh, well, I uh, that is. Goodbye.} {209}{hld33}{Well, you might try talking to Wooz over in the Harp. You can�t miss it - it�s just across the way. } {210}{}{Thanks. Let me ask you something else.} {211}{}{Thanks, that�s all I need to know for now. Goodbye.} {212}{hld34}{Jealous? His name�s Herbert. I talk to him when I get lonely... Heh heh. Just kiddin'... His name�s Bob.} {213}{}{Right...Well, maybe you or Bob will know the answer to this.} {214}{}{Thanks, that�s way more than I need to know for now. Goodbye.} {215}{hld35}{A Garden of Eden Creation Kit? A GECK, right? I seem to remember Vaults had those. Don�t know where you�d find one today. } {216}{}{Thanks. Let me ask you something else.} {217}{}{Thanks, that�s all I need to know for now. Goodbye.} {218}{hld36}{Just talk to my assistant, Lenny. He�ll be able to fix ya right up.} {219}{}{Thanks. Let me ask you something else.} {220}{}{Thanks, that�s all I need to know for now. Goodbye.} {221}{hld37}{Another smoothskin. Had a lot of respect for that one.} {222}{}{Who was that?} {223}{hld38}{Well, I could probably remember if I wasn�t dead. I never get tired of that joke. } {224}{}{Maybe you don�t...} {225}{hld38a}{Well, to be honest, can�t remember the name. But they wore a funny suit. Kinda like the one you�re wearing.} {226}{}{I�m wearing the Vault Suit that my ancestor wore. It�s a totem of my holy quest.} {227}{}{Oh, this old thing?} {228}{hld38b}{No lie?} {229}{}{I�m wearing the Vault Suit that my ancestor wore. It�s a totem of my holy quest.} {230}{}{No lie, Harold.} {231}{hld39}{That so? Well, well, well. That explains a thing or two. I wondered why you looked familiar. I�m not losing the last coupla marbles I got left.} {232}{}{We really look alike?} {233}{}{Tell me what the Vault Dweller was like.} {234}{hld40}{Yea, it looked just like that. Come to think of it, it had a 13 on it too. } {235}{}{Actually, this is the suit of my ancestor, the Vault Dweller.} {236}{hld41}{There is a resemblance. Near as I can remember, anyways. You know, your ancestor saved the whole darn lot of us.} {237}{}{The Vault Dweller saved all of the ghouls?} {238}{}{Thanks. It�s nice to know. Look, I have to run off for a bit. I�ll see you later.} {239}{hld42}{Jumpin� to conclusions, youngster. That�s gonna get your ass shot off someday. All of us. Saved every two-legged-shuffler on the dang planet. } {240}{}{I didn�t realize that.} {241}{}{I think I�ve heard enough for now. Goodbye.} {242}{hld43}{Well. Now ya do. And what happened next? For a thank you, the damn high-and-mighty Vaulties booted the Vault Dweller out. I always wondered what happened after that.} {243}{}{I can tell you what happened.} {244}{}{Enough reminiscing let me ask you something else.} {245}{hld44}{Well, I�d sure like to hear that.} {246}{}{The legend of the Vault Dweller starts with the Vault casting him out into the dry Wastes.... [You tell Harold the story of your ancestor]�and so that�s why I�m looking for Vault 13 now.} {247}{hld45}{Thanks for telling. I sure was curious all these years. You sure got your work cut out for ya. Huh, ya know....} {248}{}{Know what?} {249}{}{I�ve taken enough of your time already. I better be going. Goodbye.} {250}{hld46a}{Well, I been saving these for a rainy day, but it sounds like you're gonna need'em more than I ever will. Here, take these.} {251}{hld46b}{I was gonna give you some healing supplies but damn me if I didn�t do that already. I tell you, gettin� old�s hell on the memory.} {252}{}{Thanks. Let me ask you about something though.} {253}{}{Thanks for everything. I better be going though. Goodbye.} {254}{hld48a}{Without a functional Hydroelectric Magnetosphere Regulator we�re leaking radioactive coolant into the groundwater. Now that means, anyone using that water is not gunna need a night-light to take a midnight piss. Also, we need more fuel because our power plant is not burnin� it very efficiently.} {255}{hld48b}{We need a Hydroelectric Magnetosphere Regulator and it needs to be installed soon or we have got some real problems. } {256}{}{Sounds bad. Where would you get a Hydro magnetosomething-or-other?} {257}{}{What happens if you don�t get the part?} {258}{}{Who do you buy your fuel from?} {259}{}{Sorry to hear it. Let me ask you about something else.} {260}{}{I think I�m going to have to leave you to your troubles for right now. Goodbye.} {261}{hld49}{Well, I�m certain those ornery bastards in Vault City have one. Not that they�d share. Hell, even if we had one of those thingies, I�m not so certain Festus could install the dang thing.} {262}{}{Vault City wouldn�t give you the part? Even if it means that the groundwater won�t be polluted anymore?} {263}{}{Sounds like you�ve got a lot on your mind. Goodbye.} {264}{hld50}{If we don�t get it, you can bet those boneheads from Vault City will shut down our power plant, permanently.} {265}{}{What will you do then?} {266}{hld51}{We get our fuel from the Broken Hills. That�s a mining community some ways south.} {267}{}{Interesting. Where would you get one of those Hydro magnetosomething-or-others?} {268}{}{What happens if you don�t get that Hydro-part?} {269}{}{Hmm, I think I should let you figure this out on your own. Goodbye.} {270}{hld52}{Take dirt naps. Vault City doesn�t play nice. They�ll just come up here and kill all of us if we don�t get that part. Well, at least I�ll have a tree for a monument.} {271}{}{What was the name of that part again?} {272}{}{Sounds like you need that Hydro-thingy pretty badly. Let me ask you something else right now, though.} {273}{}{Sounds like trouble. I need to run off and see what I can do. Bye.} {274}{hld53}{Well, they�d only help us if they thought it was in their own best interest to do so. Huh. Not much chance of that happening.} {275}{}{Hmm, you may be right. Still if someone could convince them that they should help you�.} {276}{hld54}{They shoot ghouls on sight. Makes conversation a bit tricky.} {277}{}{I wonder if someone else could tell them.} {278}{}{Yes, it would. Right now I�ve got another question.} {279}{}{Hey, you never know. I�ll see you later.} {280}{}{To the north} {281}{}{To the northwest} {282}{}{To the wWest} {283}{}{To the southwest} {284}{}{To the south} {285}{}{To the southeast} {286}{}{To the east of here} {287}{}{To the northeast} {288}{}{I don�t understand.} {289}{}{I don�t know.} {290}{}{That hurts.} {291}{}{That really hurts.} {292}{}{That�s got to hurt.} {293}{}{I don�t know anything about that.} {294}{}{Yes} {295}{}{No} {296}{}{Why do you talk to me this way?} {297}{}{You�re not nice.} {298}{}{Thank you. } {299}{}{This is good.} {300}{}{This isn�t good.} {301}{}{I have a good feeling about this.} {302}{}{I have a bad feeling about this.} {303}{}{These people are crazy.} {304}{}{I didn�t learn anything.} {305}{}{I learned something} {306}{}{Is everyone else crazy here?} {307}{}{There must be another way.} {308}{}{Follow me.} {309}{}{Try this.} {310}{}{Come here.} {311}{}{I�m scared.} {312}{}{I�m worried.} {313}{}{I found something.} {314}{}{I got lucky.} {315}{}{You need to fix this.} {316}{}{You need to turn this on.} {317}{}{You need to unlock this.} {318}{}{You need to open this.} {319}{}{Maybe we should come back here.}
