{100}{}{You see a well-dressed, heavy set man who moves with deliberate slowness.} {101}{}{It's Merk - folks call him The Man around here.} {102}{}{This fellow's got an air of arrogant coldness to him, like he cares for you no more than the fly he just squished between his fingers.} {103}{}{Hey, I've seen you in the movies! Come to show me some action, have you?} {104}{}{Whaddya mean, disturbing my peace like this? Get outta here.} {105}{}{Excuse me, I got business to conduct.} {106}{}{You wanna talk business, see me at the Rawhide. Otherwise leave me alone.} {107}{}{I've seen you on the silver screen, ain't I? You got impressive, uh, credentials.} {108}{}{You got that certain look in your eyes. Stop by the Rawhide - I could always use somebody like you.} {109}{}{Shit, what's that smell? Something just walked into the room.} {110}{}{Go fetch me another whiskey - quick now.} {111}{}{Got no time right now.} {112}{}{I'm a guest here. Stop bothering me.} {113}{}{Hey baby, nice tracts you got. Carlson's taste's improving.} {114}{}{I don't do business here.} {115}{}{I don't know you. I'm a respectable businessman.} {116}{}{Well, if it ain't the wuss. Go on and leave me alone.} {117}{}{So, decided to look me up after all, eh baby?} {118}{}{I don't know nothing about nothing, understand.} {119}{}{The veep's not gonna like you bothering his guests.} {120}{}{Damn fine booze the man serves here.} {121}{}{Get outta my way!} {122}{}{You wanna talk to somebody, go buy yourself a friend.} {123}{}{I don't give directions and I don't pass out change. Bug off.} {124}{}{What is this - social hour?} {125}{}{I'm Merk. Whattya want?} {126}{}{You again?} {127}{}{Well keep it polite, punk, or this could get ugly.} {128}{}{Oort.} {129}{}{I'm looking for work.} {130}{}{Informed sources say you're the man to see about doing business, if you know what I mean.} {131}{}{They say you're the man who ripped off my car.} {132}{}{I'm looking for some information.} {133}{}{Some say you might know a thing or two about, oh say, stuff missing from cars.} {134}{}{You again? So's the job done?} {135}{}{Glub.} {136}{}{No.} {137}{}{I got some questions} {138}{}{Hmm... Strong. Dumb...If you want a job, talk to Mira. Understand? Mi-ra. Over there.} {139}{}{Like making noises? Will somebody get this brahmin turd out of here?} {140}{}{Are you that stupid? You think I'm just gonna hire anybody? You work for me, you got to prove you're good for something.} {141}{}{How about I just shoot Lenny, there? He deserves it.} {142}{}{Prove like how?} {143}{}{You know anybody who'd like some jet, maybe?} {144}{}{Listen, I'm} //258 {145}{}{Right. Like I got to prove myself to you. Forget you, slugwort.} {146}{}{It was that goddamn Doofus, wasn't it? That little junkie talks to much for his own good. Tell you what - you cap him for me -- call it a favor -- and then we'll talk.} {147}{}{Deal.} {148}{}{Whoa - I'm not that cold-blooded!} {149}{}{And they're gonna say you were a dumb ass. Boys-} {150}{}{Interesting. Now who'd go saying something like that?} {151}{}{Don't bullshit me, fat man. If I don't get back what's mine, somebody'll be shopping for your burial suit.} {152}{}{Cute. You gonna answer my question or not?} {153}{}{Oh, it's just something I heard. Just wanted to see what you'd say.} {154}{}{Supposing I do know something. What of it?} {155}{}{Now if a man had some things missing, do you suppose he could buy those things back?} {156}{}{I want my shit back, fat man!} {157}{}{How about I talk to the law?} {158}{}{I'm tired of this. Boys - take care of our guest.} {159}{}{I don't think Lenny would like that.} {160}{}{Probably, but I wasn't asking him.} {161}{}{Have it your way.} {162}{}{True. Been too dull around here. Time for a little one-on-one in the basement. Come on, Lenny, I want to watch you kill this} {163}{}{Like I've got problems that need solving.} {164}{}{Such as?} {165}{}{Jet? Are you proposing something...?} {166}{}{My friend here knows how to make it. Interested?} {167}{}{Something illegal? No, I wouldn't do that.} {168}{}{Intriguing. I'll give you $1000 for his services - permanently.} {169}{}{Deal.} {170}{}{No, I can't do that to a friend.} {171}{}{Looks like we can do business, friend. Here's the deal - there's a loopy scientist in town - Dr. Doc Henry. He's got some papers I'd like. I'll pay $1000 for them. Oh, and I don't want no harm to come to Dr Henry. He's useful alive. Interested?} {172}{}{I'm on it.} {173}{}{Nope, not my style.} {174}{}{Knowledge costs you. Am I clear?} {175}{}{"The price of wisdom is above rubies."} {176}{}{Here's $50.} {177}{}{Forget it.} {178}{}{Oh, you're that person.} {179}{}{Continue} {180}{}{Well, as far as I'm concerned, here you're just a pile of dung.} {181}{}{I had you figured for a wuss.} {182}{}{Okay. No problem. I don't want no trouble. I'll tell you what, I'll even have my boys put the stuff right back where they found it.} {183}{}{It better be, or I'll be back.} {184}{}{Don't give me this bs!} {185}{}{Such a person just might be able to.} {186}{}{Now, I suggest you leave.} {187}{}{By all means, call in the officers. Of course, I assume you have evidence to back up your wild accusation.} {188}{}{Yeah, sure.} {189}{}{Never mind.} {190}{}{Such as there's a damn Hubologist in town who has irritated me. Once this itch is scratched, come back and talk to me.} {191}{}{Consider it done. I got just the backscratcher for him but... what's an Hubologist and where do I find him?} {192}{}{How dare you speak against the true belief!} {193}{}{Sorry, I don't get involved in religious wars.} {194}{}{Well, I am a learned man. What's your question?} {195}{}{Ask away.} {196}{}{I'm looking for Vault 13.} {197}{}{Ever hear of a GECK?} {198}{}{What do you know about some outfit called the Rangers?} {199}{}{What can you tell me about some guy named Westin?} {200}{}{I'm looking for info on Vice-President Carlson.} {201}{}{That's it.} {202}{}{Your payment gets you one question. Another costs you another $50.} {203}{}{Okay, here.} {204}{}{I've got all the facts I need.} {205}{}{Just so happens, I've got a map to Vault 13. It's only 1000 bucks. You interested?} {206}{}{Sure. I'll take it.} {207}{}{And I'll bet you've got a bridge to sell, too.} {208}{}{Maybe later.} {209}{}{Is it some kind of drug out of New Reno? I've never heard of it.} {210}{}{Nope. I've got some more questions, though.} {211}{}{That's all I needed to know.} {212}{}{Those bastards? Best stay out of my place or I'll put a hole in them.} {213}{}{Well, that was informative. Another question.} {214}{}{That's all I needed to know.} {215}{}{The rancher, eh? Came in here one time, about croaked. Town doc had to rush over with some pills - seems Westin's got a heart condition. Ruined business for the rest of the night.} {216}{}{Thanks for the info. I've got some more questions.} {217}{}{That's all I needed to know.} {218}{}{As a good citizen, I applaud Carlson's opposition to any New Reno influence around here. Now that Westin's dead, I've been helping out with security for the Vice President.} {219}{}{Oh, well, I guess I'll never get to meet the man. I've heard a lot about him, too.} {220}{}{That's all I needed to know.} {221}{}{That all?} {222}{}{No, I've got some more questions} {223}{}{Yeah, that's it for now.} {224}{}{Hey, a man's got to try. Vault 13's practically a religion around here. They've even built a statue to some chump who supposedly came from there. That's all I know.} {225}{}{I sold you a map for it. Try using it.} {226}{}{That map didn't pan out? Sorry. The guy swore it was genuine. How was I to know? I don't know where Vault 13 is.} {227}{}{I've got some more questions.} {228}{}{That's all I need to know.} {229}{}{Tell you what. I like your work and Carlson could use another guard. Give a little time and there'll be a job waiting for you down there.} {230}{}{I'm on it, Merk.} {231}{}{I don't need a job. Thanks anyway.} {232}{}{Excellent. Come back when you're done.} {233}{}{That is very troubling.

Boys, kill him and recover this evidvence.} {234}{}{Your feeble attempts to intimidate me are almost amusing, but now I suggest you leave before I tire of this game.} {235}{}{Ah, I've heard the news. You still interested in a job?} {236}{}{Yeah, I'm tired of freebies. I could use the work.} {237}{}{No.} {238}{}{What the hell you doing in my place?} {239}{}{I was out of line before. I won't do it again. I just want a little of your time.} {240}{}{I'll do what I want, you weasel.} {241}{}{Get out of here, you warthog!} {242}{}{Then what're you doing here you dumb shit? You wanna impress me, then get things done!} {243}{}{I'm not talking to you until the job's done!} {244}{}{That disappoints me. I normally remove things that disappoint me. However, in your case I can be generous. Just leave and don't come back and I'll forget all about it.} {245}{}{So, is that little business with Dr. Henry done?} {246}{}{Yeah, I got the papers you want.} {247}{}{No.} {248}{}{Days like this make me so happy. Well, let's conclude our business.} {249}{}{It has come to my attention that the ingenious doctor expired during your visit. That was against my orders. To recoup future losses I think it will be necessary to receive a refund.} {250}{}{Look, I'll just give you 500 bucks and we'll forget the whole deal.} {251}{}{Screw you.} {252}{}{Well, success in your ventures. I see no reason for us to talk again.} {253}{}{Fine by me.} {254}{}{Deal - but only because I like you. I suggest you don't come back any time soon.} {255}{}{I think I'll just kill you, get my money back, and collect a reward. After all, that's what being a good citizen is all about.} {256}{}{You again! DIE!} {257}{}{I thought I said don't bother me anymore.} {258}{}{ and I'm a badass mofo. Just ask anybody.} {259}{}{ guy.} {260}{}{ chick.} {261}{}{A Hubologist is a nut-case religious fanatic. It can be found at the church in town.} {262}{}{I'm on my way.}

{263}{}{I'm not talking to you until the job's done! I need those papers from Dr. Henry's place, pronto.} {264}{}{No, but I need some information.} {265}{}{I know Lenny's death ain't no accident, you bastard.} {266}{}{Hey that map was a fake.} {267}{}{Well what about the money I gave you.} {268}{}{Like I said sorry it didn't pan out for you.} {269}{}{Well how bout you eat this bullet for my trouble.} {270}{}{Hmmphf.}

{271}{}{You gain } {272}{}{exp for Retriving Dr. Henry's papers.}
