Dialogue for Jack, assistant deputy of the NCR in NCR Downtown

{100}{}{You see a man wearing a badge of the NCR police.} {101}{}{It's Jack, assistant deputy of the NCR law.} {102}{}{This guy's wound tighter than a watch spring. His jaw is permanently clenched, the veins stand out on his forehead, and there's not a spot of joy or happiness anywhere on him.} {103}{}{I don't want to hear your troubles right now. Take it to somebody else.} {104}{}{You know, I don't have to put up with this - from you or anybody.} {105}{}{Damn ex-wife took me for everything I had.} {106}{}{She made a fool out of me, you know. Nobody makes a fool out of Jack.} {107}{}{One of these days I'll show her. I'll show everybody...} {108}{}{What you looking at? Scram!} {109}{}{Bite me! This is Jack! People better listen to me now!} {110}{}{I got a bomb in here so don't try anything!} {111}{}{People always laughing at Jack, calling him Whack Jack - well who's laughing now?} {112}{}{I'm counting to three and if Mira ain't here by then, I'll blow the place. One...} {113}{}{Two...} {114}{}{Three....} {115}{}{What do you want? What are you staring at me for?} {116}{}{Leave me alone, understand?} {117}{}{Damn ex-wife - it's all her fault.} {118}{}{Stay back! I've got a bomb!} {119}{}{Don't do this, Jack. There's always a better solution.} {120}{}{Uhh - stop.} {121}{}{Yeah, sure. What would you know about this?} {122}{}{I know things sometimes look bad, but blowing things up doesn't solve anything.} {123}{}{Nothing. I don't know crap about your problems. Maybe you better tell me.} {124}{}{What is this - some kind of trick? Stall Jack until his buddies come to kill him?} {125}{}{Who wants to kill you?} {126}{}{Don't worry, nobody's going to hurt you.} {127}{}{That damn bitch of my ex-wife, Mira, for one. She wants me dead.} {128}{}{So let the law deal with her. Not this way, Jack.} {129}{}{You're right. She hired me to kill you. So what do you say? How about it, Jack?} {130}{}{Who the hell's Mira?} {131}{}{All right, you bastard. Let's do it!} {132}{}{What a joke! I am the law. Look what good it's done.} {133}{}{Jack, think about this.} {134}{}{So blowing up the powerplant is going to fix Mira?} {135}{}{Like I said. My ex. I catch her sleeping around and now she's saying I'm the bad guy. Got the court to give her everything and she's still trying to screw me.} {136}{}{Whoa - that's hard. Completely unfair.} {137}{}{You can recover. Everything passes with time. She'll forget about you.} {138}{}{Sure...No. Crap, I don't know. I gotta do something. Let people know they can't go walking all over Jack.} {139}{}{They know, Jack. Look at them. You blow yourself up now and they won't respect you at all.} {140}{}{Look, think this through. Blow this place up and it'll just prove everything she says about you.} {141}{}{No kidding, Sherlock. Now folks are going to listen to me.} {142}{}{Nobody's going to listen to you with a bomb in your hands. Put it down, come on out, and we can get this settled.} {143}{}{Look, think this through. Blow this place up and and folks will say, "Jack took the weak way. Let himself get pushed around by his ex-wife." She wins, you lose.} {144}{}{You really think so?} {145}{}{Yes, Jack. It's true.} {146}{}{Of course. What do you think - I'm lying?} {147}{}{I don't know.} {148}{}{Don't let her win, Jack.} {149}{}{Now's your chance. Be the big man. Really stand her down.} {150}{}{Screw it. You're just full of it. You don't care about me!} {151}{}{Ah hell, maybe you're right. This wasn't the greatest idea anyway.} {152}{}{I would've done it, you know.} {153}{}{Damn Mira, now she'll get hers.} {154}{}{Now people know who Jack is, that's for sure.} {155}{}{Just back off! I don't want to hurt you!} {156}{}{This don't concern you!} {157}{}{Go ahead, kill me. What do I care anymore?} {158}{}{This isn't your fight. Leave me alone.} {159}{}{I either blow up or you kill me. What's it matter?} {160}{}{I'm not trying to hurt you! Just want them to remember...} {161}{}{You gain } {162}{}{ experience for taking care of Jack for Mira.}
