{100}{}{You see an elderly man with deep wrinkles along his face. If he notices you looking at him, he gives no sign.} {101}{}{You see Cassidy.} {102}{}{You see an elderly man with deep wrinkles along his face. He nods at you.} {103}{}{Well, now. I ain't seen you around before, stranger. Name's Cassidy. I run this place. What can I do for you?} {104}{}{Well now, if it ain't the mysterious stranger. What can I do for you today?} {105}{}{Ug Nog?} {106}{}{Shamble off} {107}{}{I'm looking for the Vault.} {108}{}{You looking to get out of here yet?} {109}{}{What have you got on tap?} {110}{}{Anything interesting going on around here?} {111}{}{Nothing today, thanks.} {112}{}{Hit on the head a little too often, eh? Sorry, I don't speak imbecile.} {113}{}{Bee-sil?} {114}{}{Vault? Only Vault I know of is the one inside the city. Big friggin' hole...you can't miss it, trust me.} {115}{}{What do you have to drink here?} {116}{}{Anything interesting going on around here?} {117}{}{Thanks for the directions. Goodbye.} {118}{}{Beer for $20, shot of whiskey for $30. Nothing special. Why, you want something?} {119}{}{I'm looking for the Vault.} {120}{}{I'll take a beer.} {121}{}{I'll take a shot.} {122}{}{Anything interesting going on around here?} {123}{}{Not really. Thanks anyway.} {124}{}{"Interesting?" Heh. Friend, Vault City ain't an "interesting" place...unless the guards get bored, then you better take cover. Why you asking? You looking for something in this sinkhole?} {125}{}{What do you have to drink here?} {126}{}{Actually, I'm looking for the Vault.} {127}{}{It can't be that bad here.} {128}{}{Not really. Thanks anyway.} {129}{}{Here you go. Drink up. It might help you forget where you are.} {130}{}{This place can't be that bad.} {131}{}{Thanks for the drink. I have to be going.} {132}{}{Oh, really? Well, hell then, I must be mistaken, considering YOU'RE the authority and all. Guess you must have been napping during the raid last week?} {133}{}{Raid?} {134}{}{Aw, yeah, a beautiful sight it was. A guard patrol broke in here looking for "illegal substances." They busted down the door, busted up my stock, then busted up a few of my customers, too.} {135}{}{What happened after that?} {136}{}{Sorry to hear it. I'll talk to you later.} {137}{}{After they hauled away this one guy, Joshua, for resisting arrest, they fined my ass for finding - get this - REAL whiskey on the premises. Nevermind that I got a permit from Stark three months before. Bastards.} {138}{}{Whoa. No kidding.} {139}{}{Sorry to hear it. I'll talk to you later.} {140}{}{It gets better. Now I'm in debt to the guards for the fine, an' I had to buy a new case of alcohol from a merchant at triple my standard rate. I'm expecting the guards to come knocking again soon, just to bust my chops. } {141}{}{What's it like most of the time?} {142}{}{Hope things look up for you in the future. See you.} {143}{}{Even the good days ain't worth a damn. The Citizens don't drink much, so I'm stuck here pouring drinks for merchants. The next cheap sonuvabitch who haggles for a drink is going to be wearing his ass as a hat.} {144}{}{Why are you here if you hate it so much?} {145}{}{Sorry to hear that. I'm looking for a Vault. Can you help me out?} {146}{}{Sorry to hear it. Hope things get better.} {147}{}{I have a bad heart. Need cardio booster shots to keep it beating. This city's the only place to get real medical care, so I thought I'd settle here, try and make a living.} {148}{}{You sound pretty fed up with the place.} {149}{}{I see. Say, I'm looking for a Vault. Can you help me out?} {150}{}{Hope things get better for you from here on. See you.} {151}{}{Makes me want to close up shop and let this City rot. Screw 'em all.} {152}{}{Why don't you leave?} {153}{}{Sorry to hear it. Hope things work out for you.} {154}{}{Go into the wastes by myself? Ha! I'm sick of this place, but I ain't stupid.} {155}{}{I'm heading out that way again. Why don't you come along?} {156}{}{Well, good luck to you then.} {157}{}{No offense or nothin', but you don't look too capable of leading anybody. It looks like the wastes would have you for dinner.} {158}{}{Naw, I don't travel with slavers. They have a nasty habit o' selling you when they get low on cash. No offense.} {159}{}{Naw, you have the look of somebody with one foot in the grave and the other in hell. I don't think I need to stain my reputation any more than it is.} {160}{}{Naw...you look like you got enough of a crowd already.} {161}{}{All right. Well, good luck.} {162}{}{Forget I asked then, asshole. Go back to tending bar in this shitwater burg.} {163}{}{Nevermind then. Your loss.} {164}{}{Heh. You serious?} {165}{}{Sure. Why the hell not? You look like you know how to take care of yourself in a fight.} {166}{}{On second thought, it's pretty dangerous out there, especially for someone with heart trouble. You'd be better off here.} {167}{}{All right, count me in.} {168}{}{Let's hit it.} {169}{}{} {170}{}{} {171}{}{What's up? You got that "I need to tell you something you might not like" look again.} {172}{}{Yeah?} {173}{}{What's up? You got that "I'm pulling rank" look again.} {174}{}{I wanted to ask you some questions...} {175}{}{You look like you've taken some damage. Use some stims and heal yourself.} {176}{}{Cassidy, I need you to wait here until I come back.} {177}{}{Put your weapon away.} {178}{}{Stay close to me.} {179}{}{Don't get too far away.} {180}{}{We should spread out a bit.} {181}{}{C'mon, Cassidy. Time to head out.} {182}{}{Nothing, never mind.} {261}{}{You want me to put a bullet in Myron's head, is that it? It'd be no trouble. Just give the word.} {262}{}{What's on your mind?} {263}{}{Why do you want to cap Myron?} {264}{}{What weapons are you skilled with?} {265}{}{Actually, I had something else I wanted you to do...} {266}{}{Actually, I had something I wanted you to do...} {267}{}{Nevermind. Let's move on.} {268}{}{No, don't hurt Myron. Not today, anyway. I'll keep you posted.} {269}{}{Well, shotguns and rifles, mostly...just personal preference. I ain't a bad shot with pistols, neither.} {270}{}{Anything else?} {271}{}{Okay. I had some other questions...} {272}{}{All right. Just checking.} {273}{}{If you ever need to learn somebody some manners up close and personal, slip me some brass knuckles, and I can tapdance on their face with my fists.} {274}{}{Great. Anything else?} {275}{}{Okay. I had some other questions...} {276}{}{All right. Just checking.} {277}{}{Uh, well...just between you and me, I can also use a spear pretty good. Me and my buddies used to hunt radscorpions with spears way back when...fact I'm alive and they ain't might tell you something.} {278}{}{Nothing wrong with using a spear.} {279}{}{Okay. I had some other questions...} {280}{}{All right. Just checking.} {281}{}{Says you. Just don't be calling me no tribal, and we'll get along just fine.} {282}{}{Don't want people mistaking me for ol' Bone-nose over there. Heh-heh. I ain't never seen no tribal do something as dumb as jam a bone in his nose.} {283}{}{Of course there isn't. Spear's a fine weapon. Lots of tribal friends of mine use 'em.} {284}{}{Did you know that I am a "tribal?"} {285}{}{Hmmm. Look, I had some other questions...} {286}{}{All right. Thanks for the rundown.} {287}{}{Aw, don't be playing with ol' Cassidy now. You ain't no tribal.} {288}{}{Yes, I am.} {289}{}{Whatever. Look, I had some other questions...} {290}{}{Forget it. I don't want to get into this with you right now.} {291}{}{Uh, well...damn it all, you can have my apology right here and now. I didn't mean any offense.} {292}{}{Sure you didn't. Look, I had some other questions...} {293}{}{Forget it. Let's move on.} {294}{}{Well, now, before you go, I got a question for you. What are we doing out here? We seem to be running all over the place looking for something. Have we got some sort of plan?} {295}{}{We're looking for a GECK - a Garden of Eden Creation Kit. My village needs it to restore their crops.} {296}{}{We're going to the Vault, then return the GECK to my village.} {297}{}{My village has been kidnapped. I'm trying to find out what happened to them.} {298}{}{Them things come in kits now, huh? Man, the good book don't mention that, does it? Well, all right then. Let's get hunting.} {299}{}{Huh. All right then, just checking.} {300}{}{I wouldn't mind plugging a few holes in some kidnappers. A little frontier justice never hurt anyone...well, at least not me.} {301}{}{All right. Let's go.} {302}{}{The things that little cuss says ain't fit for decent ears.} {303}{}{Especially a woman's.} {304}{}{Why, Cassidy, I didn't know you cared. My heart's all a-flutter.} {305}{}{So? What are you saying?} {306}{}{You know, you cuss a lot, too, Cassidy.} {307}{}{Tell me about it. Let's get going.} {308}{}{Yeah, but when I do it, it's got style. He's just a little trash mouth.} {309}{}{And I don't like the way he looks at you, neither.} {310}{}{Why, Cassidy, I didn't know you cared. My heart's all a-flutter.} {311}{}{So? What are you saying?} {312}{}{Tell me about it. Let's get going.} {313}{}{Now hold on, I didn't mean it like that.} {314}{}{All I'm saying is that bona fide little asshole's gonna get his number clocked one day when it's just me and him and a hole in the desert.} {315}{}{Well, life can be a harsh teacher on its own. I had some other questions for you...} {316}{}{Well, he's bound to bite it any time now anyway. I wouldn't worry about it.} {317}{}{Just calm down, Cassidy. Leave Myron alone.} {318}{}{I hate this place.} {319}{}{I was hoping we'd steer clear of this place for good.} {320}{}{City of tight-asses...} {321}{}{This place looks worse than Vault City.} {322}{}{Good thing I checked my weapons before I came in here.} {323}{}{If I kick the bucket, don't bury me here.} {324}{}{Watch yourself around here. The locals ain't too friendly.} {325}{}{Heh. Never thought I'd see San Francisco.} {326}{}{Never thought you'd keep an old timer like me 'round this long. Let's get this job done and go home.} {327}{}{Redding's a mining town. Gold, mostly. A lot of caravans came to Vault City from here.} {328}{}{Broken Hills is a mining town...mostly uranium ore. It can be a rough place, so watch yourself.} {329}{}{I got some poison runnin' through my system. Got any antidote?} {330}{}{I'm glowing like a neon sign over here. Got any anti-radiation drugs?} {331}{}{I'm hurting pretty bad over here. Got any stims?} {332}{}{You keep your nose clean, Myron. I'm watching you.} {333}{}{Step outta line, Myron, and I'm gonna cut you.} {334}{}{Dammit, Lenny, you need a bath. Or some disinfectant.} {335}{}{Ghoul-boy, you better keep your damn distance. Shoooo-weee, do you stink.} {336}{}{That's the meanest-looking dog I've ever seen.} {337}{}{Easy, pooch. Cassidy's your friend, all right?} {338}{}{Wonder what that cyberdog eats. Humans, probably.} {339}{}{If that cyberdog starts humping my leg, I'm gonna put it down.} {340}{}{Ahhhh. Boy, am I glad they made millions of these things before the bomb dropped.} {341}{}{Thanks, friend.} {342}{}{Hope takin' these stims don't hurt my heart none...} {343}{}{What th--?! No, my heart! I...*hrrrkkk*} {344}{}{Sorry, I was just admirin' the view.} {345}{}{Hell, I'll just stand over here, then.} {346}{}{My apologies, friend. Didn't mean to block your way.} {347}{}{Ahhhhh. That hit the spot. Thank you kindly.} {348}{}{*Hic* Heh-heh. Nothing like some good ol' firewater to get the blood pumping.} {349}{}{Thanks. Hell, you should take a swig, too.} {350}{}{That's the Vault. Big friggin' thing, innit?} {351}{}{You want me to join you again?} {352}{}{I'm good to go whenever you are.} {353}{}{Sure you don't need my help?} {354}{}{I'm itching to get going.} {355}{}{Sure could go for a smoke.} {356}{}{Dad named me after some comic book character from before the war. Said he was a mean sonuvabitch, too.} {357}{}{It's good to be traveling again. Living in Vault City was giving me an ulcer.} {358}{}{Hope my heart doesn't act up while we're travelling...} {359}{}{Sure could use a drink.} {360}{}{Better check my gear again.} {361}{}{Goddamn arthritis...} {362}{}{If I was twenty years younger, I'd go east and explore the Midwest. Too late now, I s'pose.} {363}{}{I hear they got twisters miles wide in the Midwest. It's a big ol' radioactive dustbowl now.} {364}{}{Wonder if Texas survived the war...} {365}{}{Thanks, friend. I...whoa. Now my vision's getting all cloudy.} {366}{}{I heard this stuff makes you hallucin...whoa! Where the hell did all these snakes come from?!} {367}{}{Whenever I take this stuff, I have flashbacks.} {368}{}{Nothing like a little backwater tribal healing...} {369}{}{I'm about due for some crutches and a wheelchair over here.} {370}{}{Cassidy dies of a heart attack.} {371}{}{You have convinced Cassidy to join your party.} {1000}{}{Well...all right, then. I'll wait here 'til you get back. } {1100}{}{Sure. Can't promise I won't pull it out again if there's trouble, though.} {1200}{}{All right, I'll stick close to you then. You must be expecting trouble.} {1300}{}{All right, I'll keep some distance. Get a better vantage point that way.} {1400}{}{All right, I'll be watching your back. You need me, holler, and I'll come running.} {2000}{}{No offense or nothin', but you don't look too capable of leading anybody. It looks like the wastes would have you for dinner.} {2100}{}{Naw, I don't travel with slavers. They have a nasty habit o' selling you when they get low on cash. No offense.} {2200}{}{Naw, you have the look of somebody with one foot in the grave and the other in hell. I don't think I need to stain my reputation any more than it is.} {2300}{}{Naw... you look like you got enough of a crowd already.} {2400}{}{All right, then.} {2999}{}{All right. Take care, then.} {3000}{}{Let's head out.} {3100}{}{Forget I asked then, asshole.} {3200}{}{Never mind, then. Your loss.} {4100}{}{Okay, everything's stitched up. I'm good to go.} {4200}{}{Okay, pretty much everything is patched up.} {4300}{}{That pretty much did it, but I could use a couple more stims.} {4400}{}{I used what I could, but I'm still pretty messed up. If you got any more stims to spare, I could sure use 'em. I can still walk, though.} {9999}{}{I wanted to ask you some questions...} {10001}{}{Take some more stims and heal yourself.} {10002}{}{Cassidy, I need you to wait here until I come back.} {10003}{}{Put your weapon away.} {10004}{}{Stay close to me.} {10005}{}{Don't get too far away.} {10006}{}{We should spread out a bit.} {10100}{}{C'mon, Cassidy. Time to head out.} {10007}{}{Let's head out then.} {20000}{}{All right, I'm listening.} {20001}{}{My gear? What about it?} {20002}{}{No problem. Too hot for that kinda gear, anyway. Makes me sweat like a New Reno whore.} {20003}{}{Let's try a different formation.} {20004}{}{I need to talk to you about your gear.} {20005}{}{Forget it. Let's stick to the formation we have now.} {20006}{}{Never mind. There's nothing I need to know about your gear.} {20007}{}{I need you to remove that armor you're wearing.}
