response
  • What do I need to do?
  • You're welcome.
  • Go on.
  • I'm on it.
  • We'll see.
  • I don't know.
  • What do you want from me?
  • Not really, no.
  • All right.
  • {Question} What's the plan?
  • We should get going.
  • {Confident} Let's do this.
  • {Confident} Then let's get to it.
  • Here you go.
  • I should get going.
  • I'm not sure.
  • Maybe later.
  • Not now.
  • Still looking.
  • What's so important?
  • {Neutral} No, not yet.
  • I'll think about it.
  • I don't know...
  • So...
  • {Irritated} How can you admire them? They're a bunch of murderers.
  • What's going to happen to all those people outside the gate?
  • That scientist Kellogg was supposed to track down. Virgil. We need to find him.
  • {unsure how to feel, regret mixed with anger and uncertainty / Depressed} I saw Kellogg's life... The man who ruined my family... The man I killed...
  • {emphasize "you" / Sarcastic} If all I needed was a dog, why'd I bother saving you?
  • {playful banter to spouse, salesman keeps ringing the door} He's persistent, I'll give him that.
  • {panicked, running to the Vault with your spouse} Hold on to Shaun!
  • {Confident} Sounds good. Get the troops ready for the attack.
  • I need to build a Signal Interceptor to get into the Institute.
  • {panicked, short of breathe, just ran to the Vault elevator / Nervous} He's fine. We're gonna be okay. I love you.
  • We got what we needed. The Institute uses teleportation to get in and out.
  • Help me, and I promise I'll protect any survivors to the best of my ability.
  • {Grateful} Looks good, Ingram. I'll get to work right away.
  • {playful banter, lovingly married for years} Wow, your hair looks great.
  • {Question} How are we going to build the Control Console?
  • {confused, angry / Puzzled} Father? That's your name? Your title?
  • {talking to baby shaun} There she is, see? Mommy's not going far.
  • {Worried} Not sure how we're going to build this Relay Dish.
  • {mind-blown / Disbelief} How... is that even possible?
  • {with your spouse, listening to the TV report of the bombs dropping / Nervous} Oh my god.
  • {Irritated} Skip to the part where we build the thing, Tom.
  • {Kellogg's voice is coming out of Nick Valentine / Disbelief} What did you say?
  • {Thinking} That's not much to go on. I might not be able to find him.
  • {player looking at a laundry hamper full of dirty clothes} Should leave the laundry for Codsworth...
  • {Puzzled} You don't know anything about them? Really?
  • {playful banter, lovingly married for years} New hair color?
  • {Disgust} So the weird science experiments needed specimens. That's why they took you.
  • {playful banter, lovingly married for years} Sweetie, you look as beautiful as the day we met...
  • San Francisco Sunlights. Kellogg's preferred brand, alright.
  • {player is standing there not saying anything} You all right?
  • There's more than one person who knows about the Institute. Virgil, that scientist who escaped...
  • {reading a label on the outside of your laundry washer} Another fine product of General Atomics International...
  • {leaving the house to go to the Vault, leaving Codsworth behind} Codsworth. Stay safe, buddy.
  • {tapping on the shoulder to get their attention} Codsworth...
  • You and I both know you were part of the Institute, and you escaped.
  • {A mix of annoyed and concerned. Who's been telling these lies?} Who told you that I was your father?
  • {refusing to give Mama Murphy chems / Stern} You need to stop using chems. I'm serious.
  • All you need to know is there's a machine that can get me inside the Institute.
  • It doesn't matter what they think. What matters is what you do.
  • I'm trying to find my son. The Institute kidnapped him.
  • {Sarcastic} Either it is, or we end up building one hell of a paper weight.
  • {Sad} I... I didn't make it in time. Kellogg was working with the Institute and he... he gave them Shaun... I've lost him all over again...
  • {Question} Aren't you the least bit curious what they have in there?
  • {projected voice - Codsworth is in the room down the hall / Puzzled} Codsworth? What's wrong?
  • {Question} You're not having second thoughts, are you?
  • {cracking jokes / Amused} Next stop: the Railroad. Choo choo!
  • {Grateful} Thanks, Sturges. I'll get right on this.
  • {Understanding with some regret that you have to wait / Somber} I understand, Elder.
  • {Talking to Dogmeat, who has sniffed something out.} What do you have there?
  • {Dogmeat is tracking Kellogg and has stopped. he's trying to pick up the scent again} Kellogg was here. Let's find something to track him down.
  • {hesitant, concerned / Concerned} Shaun, about this synth...
  • I...I woke up. I saw them take you. I couldn't stop them. I couldn't do anything...
  • {Reassuring, compassionate} Right, of course. I'm your father.
  • {shouting, desperate - player is going the wrong way / Afraid} Where are you going? We have to get to the Vault!
  • {Question} You're the one that can extract memories from a brain, right?
  • The Institute uses teleportation to get in and out. This machine can hijack their signal and send me instead.
  • Looks like this one thought he'd get away. No such luck.
  • {exasperated / Disbelief} Oh come on. That's crazy!
  • {heartbroken / Disbelief} But why? Why take a child? Why take you?
  • {panicked, running to the Vault with your spouse} I'm right here! Go!
  • I found Virgil. He has a way inside the Institute, but I need a code from a Courser Chip.
  • {emotional, trying to soothe/calm / Worried} Shaun, please... calm down. I'll get you out of there.
  • {Apologetic} Shhhh... It'll be okay, Shaun. I'm here now.
  • {Question} That all sounds impressive, but can you build it?
  • {Very important Q / Question} Is the Church safe now?
  • Did you know the Institute has a teleporter? They call it the Molecular Relay.
  • {playful banter} *chuckle* Go ahead, honey. I'll be there in a second to help, okay?
  • {joking, referring to yourself, looking in the mirror} What d'ya think, hon? Roguishly handsome, or handsomely roguish?
  • {Puzzled} I don't know. I might need that chip later.
  • {to yourself, looking at an old-fashioned camera} We really need to get those vacation photos developed...
  • {looking at a bottle of liquor, commenting to yourself} It's a little early to be drinking...
  • {Irritated} I killed him myself. I don't have time for this.
  • {playful, loving} It's that salesman. He'll want to talk to you.
  • {frustrated / Irritated} Yeah, you lost me. I don't see the point of any of this.
  • {Sad} The man that... killed my wife. He had a handgun. I didn't get a clear look at it, but that sound...
  • {chuckling, reading the title of a comic book cover} Grognak the Barbarian and the Jungle of the Bat Babies. My favorite...
  • {playful banter, lovingly married for years} Blonde, brunette, purple. It all looks good on you.
  • {Confident} I did it for the people of the Commonwealth.
  • {Re-record for Player Female: softer, exhausted, player is only a couple feet from you} It's going to be okay, right?
  • {Irritated} I think we've done enough for the Commonwealth.
  • {talking to the player, inside the vault} We made it.
  • {desperate / Worried} Please, Shaun... I'm your father... talk to me! Just open the door...
  • {Codsworth just shouted from the living room down the hall} We should check on Codsworth.
  • You don't remember... you didn't see it the way I did. It was... brutal.
  • One of them came right up to me. Bald head, scar across his left eye.
  • {curious, but not accusatory / Question} What are you doing here, Piper?
  • {honest question} Isn't there any way you can use the Sight without chems?
  • {Angry} End end of the line, Kellogg. You die, and I get my son back.
  • {Following Dogmeat to find Kellogg. He's stopped at a door to an old building} Is this the place? Is he in here, boy?
  • You think you're in pain now? I can make you bleed. Make you beg me for death.
  • {Question} How can I contact him if you know nothing about him?
  • {in Nick's office, describing your case to Nick for the first time. Last question is thinking out loud/to yourself / Depressed} We're looking for my son, Shaun. He's less than a year old. Why would anyone take him?
  • {playful banter, lovingly married for years} That's the face I fell in love with.
  • {Kellogg's voice is coming out of Nick Valentine / Stern} You want to try for round two? Let's go.
  • {Wry, grim humor / Sarcastic} Hopefully it'll be easier than assembling Shaun's crib.
  • {Question} Anything else you can tell me about the Memory Den?
  • {trying to calm Shaun down} Hon, could you help me?
  • {Defiant} I can't risk that. I need to find my son.
  • {Stern} There's something wrong with you, Nick. I don't want you with me.
  • {Sarcastic} In my secret club, the code phrase is just two words. "Awesome" and "Me."
  • {looking in the fridge, commenting to yourself} Nuka Cola. Ice cold...
  • {Stern} Whatever you're thinking, it doesn't matter. He's dead.
  • {Confident} Tell me you have a way past this, doctor.
  • {shouting, desperate - player is going the wrong way and the bombs are about to drop / Afraid} We have to get to the Vault! Where are you going!?
  • {to yourself} Saddle Up Salisbury Steak. Graded A+.
  • {tapping someone on the shoulder, you're tired, exhausted} Hey there.
  • *Sigh* You're right. Let's get it over with.
  • {playful, loving} You okay? Didn't forget how to handle the baby, did we?
  • {to yourself, reading the label on a box} Abraxo. For all your cleaning needs...
  • {bombs are dropping, more concerned and rushed} Codsworth?
  • {under your breathe, to yourself. Looking at items on a table. the last item is a cigar with a brand name of "San Francisco Sunlights"} Gwinnett Stout Beer... Forty-four caliber bullets... And cigars. "San Francisco Sunlights."
  • {trying to keep it together / Disbelief} God, all we're missing are the teacups and the White Rabbit...
  • {Worried} Even with the rebels, I don't think we're a match for what they can throw at us.
  • {bombs are dropping, more concerned and rushed} Codsworth...
  • {Worried} I don't like having to rely on their teleporter.
  • {cryopod scene kellogg's brain / Nervous} *coughing* Is it over? Are we okay?
  • {waiting for the player to enter the Vault pods} I think he's better. You go ahead.
  • {playful, loving} Can you get the door? Whenever I answer, he just asks for you over and over.
  • {Nervous} We need your help, doctor. I need the memories from a man named Kellogg, but he's dead.
  • There's no other way. The Institute can't be trusted.
  • {Depressed} My son Shaun is missing. He was kidnapped, but I don't know who took him, or where they went.
  • {emotionally exhausted / Disbelief} This is all... it's too much. I just don't know anymore.
  • {tapping someone on the shoulder, you're tired, exhausted} Hey.
  • {Question} I got this from someone who should know what he's talking about. Can you build it or not?
  • {player looking at the folded towels and clothes in the laundry room} Folded and neat...
  • {tapping your spouse on the shoulder to get their attention} Hey Hon...
  • I have plans here to build a Signal Interceptor that can get me inside the Institute.
  • {Annoyed} The focus should be on the Institute, not this Patriot.
  • {playful banter, lovingly married for years} Absolutely lovely.
  • {comforting baby Shaun, who is crying / Nervous} Hold on, little guy. Hold on...
  • {playful, loving, in the baby's room with your wife} I didn't do a bad job decorating here, huh? Okay, maybe one too many rocket ships...
  • {Question} Preston thought you might be able to figure out these plans for me.
  • Come on. You really think it could happen? Nuclear war?
  • These are plans for building a Signal Interceptor to get inside the Institute.
  • {to yourself, looking at Shaun's empty baby bottles} Heh. How can someone so small drink so much?
  • {playful banter, lovingly married for years} You're beautiful, you know that?
  • {Question} Did you figure out the rest of Virgil's schematics?
  • {playful banter, lovingly married for years} As beautiful as the day we met...
  • {Sarcastic} Breaking through an underwater security grate in high radiation? Sounds like fun.
  • {Hurried, urgent} Yes, I mean it. Now let's get out of here.
  • {relaxing at home but still nervous about your upcoming speech, speaking to your spouse who is only a few feet away from you} Do I look nervous? I look nervous, don't I?
  • {persuasive, convincing / Confident} Just trust me. It's important. You have my word.
  • {Rhetorical sarcasm} Oh, this is just what I need right now...
  • {Dismissive, cold-hearted} That's not happening. No way.
  • {right after killing Kellogg. you and Nick are trying to figure out what to do next / Pleading} There has to be a way, Nick.
  • {screaming over the sound of the nuclear blast, elevator is descending} HOLD ON!
  • {laughing a little. Playful. You got talked into it, but don't mind.} *Sigh* Okay. You talked me into it.
  • {tapping your spouse on the shoulder, inside the vault} Hon...
  • {MARK FOR RE-RECORD.} Would you believe the Institute kidnapped my son?
  • {tired, still nervous, being led to the Vault} Hey, Hon...
  • {Irritated} That doesn't sound like a very good way in.
  • {playful, loving} Come on, get the door. I'll owe you one, okay?
  • {joking, cracking wise / Amused} Technically, the corpse was defiled already.
  • {waiting for the player to enter the Vault pods} Go ahead, hon. I'll take Shaun with me.
  • { do a little voice at the end for the quote / Amused} Could you say that like Doctor Frankenstein? "Igor! Fetch me the brain!"
  • {talking to the player, inside the vault} This is our new home...
  • {Angry} In a hundred years, when I finally die, I only hope I go to Hell so I can kill you all over again, you piece of shit.
  • I need whatever information you've got. Anything to help me get in to the Insitute.
  • {confrontational / Irritated} Don't lie to me, Nick. You're one of them. They made you.
  • {at the Vault Cryopods, Shaun's acting up} Hon? Could you help me with Shaun?
  • A "Courser"? What's that?
  • A decoy, huh? Clever.
  • A lot is riding on this, Tom.
  • Absolutely. Let's get out of here.
  • All right, I'll do it. Anything to get Shaun back.
  • All right, I'll go along with it.
  • All right, Ingram. Fire it up.
  • All right. I'll find them.
  • All right. Let's get started.
  • Already gotten what I can from this.
  • And do what exactly?
  • And you... You've been down here the whole time?
  • Another one of his stogies.
  • Are you Virgil?
  • Are you certain this is the only way to end this?
  • Are you in any pain?
  • Are you sure you want this?
  • {Puzzled} I don't know, Nick. That seems a little out there.
  • Big bullets. Kellogg's preferred caliber.
  • BioScience? Advanced Systems?
  • Bloody bandages. Dogmeat can track this.
  • Bodyguard robots didn't fare too well.
  • Bunch of our old Holotape recordings...
  • But there's room for my entire family, right?
  • But... Director? Why you?
  • {Irritated} Then he's dead already. It's a waste of time.
  • {you've never heard of the Gunners / Puzzled} Who are the Gunners?
  • Can you help me or not?
  • Can you tell me about the Institute or not?
  • Come back some other time.
  • Come on, it's not like anything's going to happen.
  • Do you have anything for me?
  • Do you know anything about decoding Courser Chips?
  • Does it matter?
  • Dogmeat's gonna need more to go on.
  • Fine. I'll do it myself. Stubborn...
  • Fine. It's yours.
  • Forget it. Never mind.
  • Go on, doctor.
  • Go. Away.
  • Good morning.
  • Goodbye Nick.
  • Got something, boy?
  • Gwinnett Stout. One of his creature comforts.
  • Have I given you reason to doubt me?
  • He was a murderer. He killed your mother.
  • Here you go. Let's see what we need.
  • Here's... what I could find.
  • Here. Already have some.
  • Here. One hit of Jet.
  • Hey, Virgil.
  • Hey, kid.
  • Shaun, I... I hoped there was something more I could do. I wanted to save you.
  • Hold on...
  • Honey? Could you help me?
  • How do I fight that much radiation, doctor?
  • {playful, loving, in the baby's room with your wife} I know it's corny to say this, but everything I need in life is right here in this room.
  • I can at least end your suffering.
  • I can't afford to trust anyone.
  • I can't wait for the world to end!
  • I did it. The platform's constructed.
  • I don't believe you.
  • I don't know about all that.
  • I don't need a synth. I found the real Shaun.
  • I don't really know. Doesn't sound familiar.
  • I don't see why you can't do this.
  • I don't want to hear anymore right now.
  • I don't want to kill you. I want to save you.
  • I have my ways.
  • I have some things to do first.
  • I have the code.
  • I have to go and get it.
  • I just don't know...
  • I just need a minute, okay?
  • I just need to know if you can help me.
  • I just want to watch this place burn.
  • I need your help with these schematics.
  • I need your help.
  • I needed a Courser Chip. I need the code on it.
  • I said, "no."
  • I see it. Good boy.
  • I think I'll take that vacation first.
  • I think I've heard enough for now.
  • I told you I'd get it done, didn't I?
  • I want out of this place. Now.
  • I wish there were some other way...
  • I won't be a part of this. I can't.
  • I wonder if Dogmeat could pick up the scent.
  • I'll do whatever it takes. It's worth it.
  • I'll get it to it later.
  • I'll get started.
  • I'll head there on my own.
  • I'll see you around, Nick.
  • I'm a little busy right now...
  • I'm gonna head out on my own from here, Nick.
  • I'm here now.
  • I'm just here to talk.
  • I'm looking for results, not excuses.
  • I'm no good at lying.
  • I'm not here to take orders.
  • I'm not ready for this, doc.
  • I'm not ready to do this yet.
  • I'm not sure I want to do this now.
  • I'm not sure, but I've seen some strange things.
  • I'm ready as I'll ever be.
  • I'm right behind you, Dogmeat.
  • I'm sorry it's come to this, Shaun.
  • I'm sorry. I can't do that.
  • I'm sorry. I'm not interested.
  • I'm sure it'll work.
  • I'm trying to track down a man named Kellogg.
  • I've got it covered.
  • I've made some friends in the Commonwealth.
  • I've... changed my mind. I'll work with you.
  • {playful banter, lovingly married for years} Did I mention how much I love your new hairstyle?
  • {unnerved, trying to be polite / Concerned} It seems like a strange choice, on more than one level.
  • If he can help, let's do it.
  • If this is true... where do we start?
  • Is that even possible?
  • Isn't there some other way?
  • It depends on whether you're willing to help me.
  • It doesn't matter.
  • It looks like they raised you well.
  • It took him long enough.
  • It's a clue, but not enough.
  • It's hard to believe they left another way in.
  • It's time to free the synths.
  • It's too soon; we're not ready yet.
  • It's you and me, Nick.
  • {angry, emotional / Defiant} Damn it, Shaun! Open the door!
  • If we need to find Virgil, then I'm going after him.
  • {persuading Mama Murphy to get off chems / Concerned} The Sight isn't worth killing yourself over, Mama Murphy. It doesn't have to define what you are, or what you can give.
  • Just tell me where Kellogg went, tin can.
  • {Depressed} You were right, Nick. Kellogg did have my son. But that wasn't all. He was working with the Institute. He... he gave them Shaun...
  • Kellogg's been taken care of.
  • Kellogg... he worked for you?
  • {Question} Even after all we've done, the Commonwealth hates us?
  • {player is standing there not saying anything} You look tired...
  • {Angry} It's none of your goddamn business, Sturges. Activate the relay.
  • Lead the way, Nick.
  • Let's get going, Nick.
  • Let's get started then.
  • Let's go. Just point me in the right direction.
  • Let's just focus on the task at hand.
  • {Question} Can you give me a list of what I'll need to build this platform?
  • {Depressed} I was so blinded by anger.... I just wanted him dead. Now look what I've done.
  • Man like that would've had access. In and out.
  • Maybe I don't want to talk to you.
  • Maybe it's another kidnapped kid.
  • Maybe some other time.
  • Maybe we should do this later.
  • Maybe. Let me think it over.
  • {screaming, the nuclear bomb has just detonated on the horizon} Oh my god!
  • My energy? What do you mean?
  • My pleasure, Elder.
  • It gets me inside the Institute. That's all that matters.
  • {at the Vault Cryopods, Shaun's acting up} Can you come here? Shaun's being fussy.
  • {Sarcastic} Next time I have to watch someone's life story, I want popcorn.
  • I already have someone with me. I'll meet you there, Nick.
  • Need to see the mayor about something.
  • Never mind. Sorry for bothering you.
  • Nick Valentine wanted me to see you.
  • No, I'll hold onto it for now.
  • No, I'm not.
  • No, never heard of them.
  • No, not yet.
  • No, still working on it.
  • None of your damn business.
  • Not a chance. I'm not doing anything for you.
  • Not just yet. I need a minute.
  • Not right now, Mama Murphy.
  • Not sure how we're going to build this Relay Dish.
  • Nothing. Nevermind.
  • Okay, boy. Let's track him.
  • Okay, let's get to work.
  • {Angry} You murdered my wife... took my son. You're a dead man!
  • {Worried} Shaun, are you okay? You're not hurt, are you?
  • {Irritated} Let's not forget who really made this possible. You're nothing without me.
  • {Concerned} We're leaving this place. Together. Okay Shaun?
  • The woman was dressed in... I think it was a kind of hazard suit. The man had... some sort of metal brace on his arm.
  • {to yourself, looking at a pocket watch, but it's telling the wrong time} Broken again...
  • {Confident} Elder Maxson, I have a set of plans to build a Signal Interceptor to get me inside the Institute.
  • Quit your whining. I just need to know how to get inside.
  • Relax - I just need to know how to get in there.
  • Do you know anything about decoding a Courser Chip?
  • {looking at the laundry dryer in your house} Let Codsworth take care of it...
  • Shaun... can we talk about this?
  • Shaun... It's really you...
  • Sixty years... so much time, wasted...
  • Skip to the good part, doc.
  • So I can just head in and talk to McDonough?
  • So the brain is still good, right?
  • So the next step...
  • So you're in charge of the Institute?
  • Somebody cleaned a gun here.
  • Somebody didn't want to get snuck up on here.
  • Somebody spent the night here.
  • Sorry. Never mind. I'll come back later.
  • Sure. Let's do it.
  • {watching the news report, talks about bombs dropping} Wait. What did he just say?
  • {Dogmeat is tracking Kellogg and has stopped. he's trying to pick up the scent again} Lost the scent, boy?
  • {joking, referring to removing Kellogg's brain / Amused} I'm gonna need a really sharp ice cream scoop...
  • {playful, loving} Let's give Codsworth a break. I'll be along right after you, okay?
  • Take it easy. Kellogg's dead.
  • Tell me about the Minutemen.
  • Tell me more about this Vault.
  • Tell me what I need to know.
  • Thanks Codsworth.
  • That Brotherhood airship is hard to miss.
  • That sounds like suicide.
  • The Railroad helped me.
  • There's gotta be another way.
  • There's gotta be someone who can help.
  • They get me inside the Institute.
  • They kidnapped my son.
  • They kidnapped someone, and I want him back.
  • They killed my wife.
  • This device, this will get me into the Institute?
  • This didn't do any good for them, did it?
  • This had to be Kellogg.
  • This whole thing makes me uncomfortable.
  • Torn up by his own turret.
  • {trying to calm Shaun down} Shaun's acting up. Could you help?
  • {reading the label on the box of sugar bombs} Sugar Bombs... 100% daily value of sugar...
  • {Angry} Doesn't matter what he knew. I'd kill him again in a heartbeat.
  • {tired, still nervous, being led to the Vault} Just a little farther...
  • {Confident} The Institute? Well I'll find him, no matter where he is. Nothing will stop me.
  • {playful banter, lovingly married for years} Lookin' good.
  • {pronounced MOH-BEEL} Hey, I just fixed that mobile on his crib the other day. Why don't you give it a spin?
  • {Hesitant, doubtful} I'm not sure that's such a good idea.
  • Vault-Tec? Remind me again.
  • {Nick asks you if you heard the name "Kellogg", but you're not sure / Puzzled} I... might have... everything was foggy...
  • {Puzzled} What's the deal with you people and Nick, anyway?
  • {Angry} No... That's not true. It can't be. I... I've come so far...
  • We have nothing to talk about.
  • We're getting close, boy. Let's go.
  • What can we get off the Courser Chip?
  • What do you think boy? Enough to go on?
  • What do you think, boy? Was this our man?
  • What happened here?
  • What have we here?
  • What's Jet?
  • What's going on here?
  • What's happened to you? Are you sick?
  • What's this secret way in?
  • Whatever you're selling, I'm not buying.
  • Why are you so afraid of Kellogg?
  • Why build it to look like you?
  • Why did you need Jet again?
  • Why do I have to kill one?
  • Why does it matter?
  • Why would they pick you?
  • Why? What makes the Glowing Sea so dangerous?
  • Will it be like that night in the park a year ago?
  • {you and your spouse are making Shaun's costume at home} Can't believe it's almost Halloween. Need to finish making Shaun's costume.
  • {Irritated} Bullshit. You're a synth, Valentine! Tell me what you know!
  • {Angry} So where is it? Huh? This "Institute"? How do I get there?
  • {Sarcastic} Oh you know, took a radiation bath, hung out with a big, green guy. Then I pulled this encoded chip out of a Courser's neck. He was not happy.
  • Yeah, that was me. I took down a Courser.
  • Yeah, they use some sort of teleporter.
  • Yes, absolutely. Let's get the hell out of here.
  • Yes, that's what I want.
  • You have information I need.
  • You help me, and I'll help you.
  • You know what? Forget it. I don't need you.
  • You read my mind. He had to have a way in and out.
  • You really got taken apart.
  • You said something about the Railroad?
  • You want me to stay here, in the Institute?
  • You're a Super Mutant?
  • You're lying. I know it.
  • You're my son? Then prove it. Now.
  • You're right. Using chems is your choice.
  • You've gotten worse?
  • Your Institute has done some horrible things.
  • Your confidence is staggering.
  • Your mother... she never got to see you grow up...
  • Your secretary, Ellie. She sent me.
  • {talking to a vault tec scientist handing you a vault suit / Tired} Thanks. What now?
  • There's no time to argue, Tom. Get this thing running now.
  • {playful banter, lovingly married for years} I think Shaun has your nose.
  • {Looking at a set of military fatigues} War never changes... Got that right...
  • {you've never heard of the Railroad / Puzzled} The Railroad?
  • They need your help, Shaun. It's rough up there, to say the least.
  • {Apologetic} What do you want me to do, Shaun? What can I do?
  • {trying to be reasonable} I'm just a guy looking for information on the Institute.
  • {Question} Does it really matter how I feel, doctor?
  • {Emotionally charged, a tender moment} Of course I still love you, Shaun. I always will.
  • {afraid, watching the news report, talks about bombs dropping} What's going on?
  • {Confident} Good. I'll get the details from Sturges while you get the Minutemen ready to attack.
  • A scientist named Virgil said this machine could get me inside the Institute.
  • {playful banter, lovingly married for years} You get a hair cut yesterday?
  • They had no right to take you! You were my son... our son...
  • {tapping your spouse on the shoulder, inside the vault, checking up on them} Everything ok?
  • {Friendly} Listen, after breakfast, I was thinking we could head to the park for a bit. Weather should hold up.
  • {playful banter, lovingly married for years} New hairstyle? Love it.
  • {shocked. wasn't expecting Nick Valentine to be an android / Puzzled} What... are you?
  • {Sarcastic} I think we've done enough damage already.
  • {under your breathe, listening to the news about nuclear war starting / Afraid} Oh no...
  • {watching the news report, talks about bombs dropping} Oh god...
  • {Kellogg's voice is coming out of Nick Valentine / Disbelief} Nick? Are you still in there?
  • {Dismissive, annoyed} You're not going anywhere with me. You're not my son.
  • I wanted to see you one last time before your whole empire comes crashing down around you.
  • I'm here to blow up your reactor, Shaun. Put an end to the Institute.
  • {planning your next steps with Doctor Amari / Puzzled} What do you think we should do?
  • {talking to baby Shaun / Nervous} See? This is our new home...
  • {Confident} I have some information that might prove beneficial to both of us.
  • {mixture of anger and hopelessness / Depressed} It's over... I've lost him...
  • {Friendly} Hey, it's peace of mind. That's worth a little paperwork, right?
  • {trying to calm Shaun down} He's being fussy. Could you...?
  • {Question} How are we going to build a Control Console?
  • {playful banter, lovingly married for years} You look lovely.
  • {Yielding, a little annoyed, but compassionate} All right, you can come with me. But you'd better not make me regret this.
  • {Irritated} I wouldn't be wasting your time if I didn't think it was real.
  • {Question} The Railroad, huh? What's your take on them?
  • {Somber} It... It wasn't right, what they did. Taking you from me like that.
  • I have plans here to build a Signal Interceptor that can get me into the Institute.
  • I'm not sure I can explain how it works, but a former Institute scientist gave me these plans.
  • {Neutral} I might have a way to get into the Institute.
  • {banging on the glass of the cryopod, trapped inside} *grunt*
  • {Hurried, impatient} Look kid, I'm leaving. If you want to come along, then follow me.
  • I didn't want it to end like this, Shaun. I'm not a monster.
  • {Confident} Yes, I'm ready to build the rest of it.
  • {Surprised that someone doubts you} What, you don't believe me?
  • {Mostly to self. Pondering a clue.} We're at the old Army base. Is he hiding out here?
  • {overcome with emotion, hope / Disbelief} Shaun... Is that really you?
  • {Sad} Where do you want me to start? The part where Kellogg turned out to be working for the Institute? Or the part where he told me they have Shaun?
  • {tired, still nervous, being led to the Vault} Hon...
  • {referring to yourself, looking in the mirror} Yeah. Not bad...
  • I know you were part of it, and you escaped. They sent Kellogg to kill you.
  • {too painful to finish the last sentence, describing your case to Nick for the first time / Sad} My wife was... murdered. She was trying to keep them from taking Shaun and they... they just...
  • {playful banter to spouse, salesman keeps ringing the door} He's still there. I'm kind of impressed.
  • {you only have a piece of the brain, not the whole thing / Nervous} How much of the brain do you need exactly?
  • {playful banter, lovingly married for years} You have great lips, you know that?
  • {Irritated} Forget it, I'll take the information elsewhere.
  • {Surprised} This doesn't make sense. I thought you're eager to take the fight to the Institute.
  • {practicing the speech in the mirror / Neutral} War never changes...
  • {Question} Not sure how we're going to build this Relay Dish.
  • {Question} Can you take a look at these schematics? They're for a machine to get me inside the Institute.
  • Not sure if they were trying to pin him down or had terrible aim.
  • {Pleading} How can you say that? How can you be so dismissive of all those people, everything they've done?
  • {playful, loving, sending the player to check on Shaun} I'll be there in a minute. Go ahead.
  • {Amused} Wait. Were you just playing a joke on me?
  • {Amused} Who knows? Maybe he did plan it all.
  • {Angry} Fuck you, Kellogg.
  • {Angry} God damn them. So many years stolen...
  • {Angry} He's not my son, Tom. He's a synth.
  • {Angry} I could kill you. Right here, right now.
  • {Angry} I'll see you in hell.
  • {Angry} I'm going to make you suffer.
  • {Angry} Oh I'm ready. Question is - are you?
  • {Angry} Tell me where he is, damn it!
  • {Angry} Those bastards. They took you from me!
  • {Angry} Where is my son? Where's Shaun?
  • {Apologetic} Shaun, it's me. I'm... I'm your dad.
  • {Concerned} Come on, Shaun. We need to go.
  • {Concerned} I need to know if you can build this.
  • {Concerned} I'm not ready yet.
  • {Concerned} Is Nick going to be okay?
  • {Concerned} Just... give me a minute.
  • {Concerned} Shouldn't we test it first?
  • {Concerned} Things are pretty terrible up there.
  • {Concerned} You sounded like Kellogg just then.
  • {Concerned} You... feeling all right Nick?
  • {Confident / Confident} Bring it on.
  • {Confident} All right Sturges, fire it up.
  • {Confident} I have my moments.
  • {Confident} I want you with me on this, Nick.
  • {Confident} I was born ready.
  • {Confident} I'm not lying. I killed him myself.
  • {Confident} I'm on it.
  • {Confident} I'm ready. Let's do it.
  • {Confident} No, not yet.
  • {Confident} Not now.
  • {Confident} We're going to pull this off.
  • {Confident} Yeah. Ready to build the rest of it.
  • {Conspiratorial} Everything's ready. It's time.
  • {DO NOT RECORD}
  • {Defiant} I'll kill them for this. All of them!
  • {Defiant} Is there a problem, Proctor?
  • {Depressed} Diamond City it is.
  • {Depressed} I'll catch up later.
  • {Disbelief} Human synths? Really?
  • {Disgust} They think they're better than us.
  • {Flirting} You think?
  • {Friendly} *chuckle* Good answer.
  • {Friendly} Good work, Sturges.
  • {Friendly} Here you go.
  • {Friendly} I knew you could figure it out, Tom.
  • {Friendly} I like it.
  • {Friendly} I like the name. Sounds encouraging.
  • {Friendly} I'll see if I can find some.
  • {Friendly} Sure, I'll sign up.
  • {Friendly} Sure. Be glad to help.
  • {Friendly} Thanks, Tom. I'll find them.
  • {Friendly} Thanks, doctor. How do I find them?
  • {Friendly} When did you cook this up?
  • {Grateful} Good work, Sturges.
  • {Grateful} I appreciate this, Nick.
  • {Grateful} I'll meet you there.
  • {Grateful} Thanks, Sturges. I'll give it a try.
  • {Grim / Sad} We still lost too many people.
  • {Happy} That's great news.
  • {Impressed} Well, you definitely know your stuff.
  • {Irritated} Another one of his damned lies.
  • {Irritated} Enough of the technical talk.
  • {Irritated} Fine. Thanks for nothing.
  • {Irritated} I'm done with all the missions.
  • {Irritated} More problems? Seriously?
  • {Irritated} Never mind. Thanks for nothing.
  • {Irritated} Really don't have time.
  • {Irritated} That's all you have?
  • {Irritated} Took you long enough.
  • {Irritated} We'll never find him.
  • {Irritated} You people are damn nosy.
  • {Irritated} You'd better figure the rest out, Tom.
  • {Nervous} All right, Tom. Fire it up.
  • {Nervous} Nothing... Never mind.
  • {Nervous} Oh my god...
  • {Nervous} You think Raiders might have done this?
  • {Neutral} I have some things to do first.
  • {Neutral} I'd better get started.
  • {Neutral} I'm not ready yet.
  • {Neutral} Not now.
  • {Pleading} I need to find a way.
  • {Puzzled} ...Shaun?
  • {Puzzled} Any idea what the code phrase means?
  • {Puzzled} Come on, can't you help me yourself?
  • {Puzzled} Dogmeat, huh?
  • {Puzzled} How could Piper help us?
  • {Puzzled} I don't know about this, Nick...
  • {Puzzled} I... I'm not sure, doctor...
  • {Puzzled} So that's it? You're not going to help?
  • {Puzzled} This is your friend? He's a dog.
  • {Puzzled} This one's all yours, Nick.
  • {Puzzled} Um...Thanks again...
  • {Puzzled} You and Nick know each other?
  • {Question} Any suggestions, Nick?
  • {Question} Any words of wisdom?
  • {Question} Can you build it, Tom?
  • {Question} Can't we do this later?
  • {Question} Do you think you can build this?
  • {Question} Do you think you can decipher them?
  • {Question} Got something, boy?
  • {Question} How do I infiltrate them?
  • {Question} How do I secure the Relay room?
  • {Question} How do you lock memories?
  • {Question} How's the interceptor actually work?
  • {Question} Is everything ready here?
  • {Question} Is it so hard to believe?
  • {Question} Is there a problem, Tom?
  • {Question} Isn't there anyone who can help?
  • {Question} Isn't there some way to make this work?
  • {Question} Just what are you Nick?
  • {Question} Oh? What have you heard?
  • {Question} On whose authority?
  • {Question} Once I get in, what's the plan?
  • {Question} Patriot?
  • {Question} Shouldn't we test it first?
  • {Question} So what now?
  • {Question} So you're a synth, is that right?
  • {Question} What about him?
  • {Question} What about rescuing the synths?
  • {Question} What do you mean, Elder?
  • {Question} What exactly do we need, Nick?
  • {Question} What kind of work are we talking about?
  • {Question} What's it going to take to build it?
  • {Question} Who is he? Do you think he has Shaun?
  • {Question} Who's this Doctor Amari?
  • {Question} Who's this friend of yours, Nick?
  • {Question} Why do you want the Courser Chip?
  • {Question} You don't know anything, Nick?
  • {Question} You figure out the rest of the plans?
  • {Question} You really think this will work, Nick?
  • {Question} You said Diamond City, right?
  • {Question} You're a prototype?
  • {Question} You're a synth?
  • {Relieved} I'm just glad it's over.
  • {Relieved} So, we've won?
  • {player is standing there not saying anything} Hon?
  • {Sad} Shaun, she loved you... so much.
  • {Sarcastic} I hope the color of my energy is blue.
  • {Solemn} Okay. I'll do my best.
  • {Somber} I think I see where this is going...
  • {Somber} I used to live here. A long time ago.
  • {Somber} They killed my wife.
  • {Stern} An Institute scientist wouldn't help us.
  • {Stern} Because he's in hell. Where he belongs.
  • {Stern} He's not my son. He's a synth.
  • {Stern} I don't have time. I need that key now.
  • {Stern} Is there a problem, Sturges?
  • {Stern} No way. That chip is mine.
  • {Stern} None of your business.
  • {Stern} Stop it. That's none of your business.
  • {Stern} That bastard's in hell, where he belongs.
  • {Stern} That's not important.
  • {Stern} There's no way that could ever work.
  • {Stern} You know I am, Kellogg.
  • {Surprised, confused} Why did you call me "dad"?
  • {Surprised} Shaun? Oh my god, it's really you...
  • {Surprised} What was on the holotape?
  • {Surprised} Yeah, sounds like fun.
  • {Suspicious} Shaun, where is everyone?
  • {Tired} I'm okay, doctor. Thank you...
  • {Worried} Either way, I need to find Shaun.
  • {Worried} How do I get past the security grate?
  • {Worried} I don't know what to do.
  • {Worried} I hope you're right, Nick.
  • {Worried} I'm not feeling confident here, Sturges.
  • {Worried} Shaun, open the door...
  • {a bit of regret / Apologetic} He's dead, Nick.
  • {angry, defiant / Angry} Bullshit.
  • {drinking coffee} *slurping sound*
  • {greeting salesman at the door} Can I help you?
  • {handing over some Buffout} Here. Go easy.
  • {handing over some Med-X} Yeah. Here you go.
  • {handing over some Mentats} Here you go.
  • {handing over some Psycho} I've got it.
  • {honest question} Buffout now?
  • {honest question} Psycho? Is that safe?
  • {honest question} So it's Mentats this time?
  • {honest question} Why Med-X?
  • {hopeful, unsure} ...Shaun?
  • {just touched a hot coffee pot / Puzzled} Hot...
  • {lying, trying to sound cocky} Sure, lots of them.
  • {lying} Don't know anything about that.
  • {playful, loving} Go on. I'll be right there.
  • {polite / Friendly} I'll talk to the Mayor then.
  • {resigned} All right... let's talk, then.
  • {sarcastic joke / Amused} What, no cash prize?
  • {sarcastic} The apocalypse? Well Hell. Sign me up!
  • {sincere, friendly} Sounds great.
  • {to yourself} Looks like the milk got delivered...
  • {waiting in the pod} Time for a whole new life...
  • {tapping on the shoulder to get their attention} Hey Codsworth...
  • {looking at a children's book about growing up, talking to yourself} Wonder what Shaun will grow up to be?
  • {to yourself, looking at spelling blocks} Heh. He'll either be great at spelling... or great at smashing blocks together...
  • {Sarcastic} I can feel the gears of bureaucracy grinding me up already...
  • {Question} Need to find parts for the Beam Emitter.
  • And miss the World Series on TV? Not going to happen.
  • {looking through the pantry, commenting to yourself} InstaMash, Fancy Lad Snack Cakes, Blamco Mac and Cheese. Expires in... Never.
  • {smoldering with anger / Angry} Here. The "Institute." I'll find my son no matter where he is.
  • {joking, cracking wise / Amused} We should try plugging you into a toaster, next. Mmmm. Fresh toast.
  • {playful banter, lovingly married for years} Lookin' good, hon.
  • {Codsworth just shouted from the living room down the hall} Better see what's gotten Codsworth so upset.
  • {talking to the soldier checking people into the vault} We need to get in! We're on the list.
  • {Irritated} That's my business. I just need the code off this Courser Chip.
  • It can't be true. It's all just... It's just too much.
  • {playful banter, lovingly married for years} My beautiful wife.
  • {Irritated} Tracking a murderer. The bastard who shot my wife. Took my son. I don't even have a clue who he is or where he's gone.
  • {Pleading} Please, all I want to do is find my son. The man who owned that house kidnapped him.
  • {sinister, threatening / SinisterSmile} Institute personnel won't last long above ground. Especially if I'm hunting them down. Give me a reason not to.
  • I'm not an idiot. I know you were part of the Institute.
  • {Pleading} Please. Nick told me you're the only one who could make this work.
  • {to yourself / Sarcastic} I'm trusting my family's future to a dog. That's it. I'm officially crazy.
  • {Apologetic} He's a synth, Ingram. He's not really my son.
  • {Stern} I'll make this very simple. Where is my son?
  • Actually, I think I already have something. Kellogg had this... thing attached to his head.
  • {playful banter, lovingly married for years} Such a cute nose.
  • {playful banter to spouse, salesman keeps ringing the door} Maybe if we ignore him, he'll go away.
  • {Disbelief} Collateral Damage? Is that all it is to you?
  • {Angry} It's none of your damned business Ingram. Now get us out of here.
  • {Sarcastic} I glued a bunch of parts together and hoped for the best. Good enough?
  • {salesman just rung the doorbell} *sigh* It's that salesman again. I don't know why he keeps bothering you.
  • {Question} We have to head into the Glowing Sea. Any advice?
  • {re-record for PlayerVoiceMale01, need each sentence to be clear, especially "we're gonna be okay". Whole tone needs to be more panicked / Nervous} Almost there. We're gonna be okay. I love you. Both of you.
  • {Whispery, conspiratorial / Worried} I've been looking for you...
  • Oh, I'm going to kill you now. If nothing else, I'll make sure you don't survive.
  • {Stern} You're fat, you're ugly, and it's time you and your crazy bitch said goodbye.
  • {saying you'll go get some Med-X} Med-X, huh? Okay.
  • {Angry, conflicted, in pain.} You're not my son! You're a synth... A robot. Why would I love you?
  • {Question} Did you know the Institute has a teleporter called the Molecular Relay?
  • {Codsworth has just gone to check on baby Shaun} *chuckle* I know we were nervous at first, but I'm glad we got Codsworth.
  • {commenting on yourself, with your spouse at the mirror} Hon, you think my nose is too big?
  • Seriously? All the enemies you've created, you can't imagine why I'd be standing here?
  • {player is standing there not saying anything} Honey?
  • Could use your help finding parts for the Beam Emitter.
  • {under your breathe, referring to your spouse} So stubborn...
  • {Somber} I think they're the ones that kidnapped my son.
  • {Puzzled} Honestly, I was just there at the right time. Seemed like you needed help.
  • {Irritated} There's no way this friend of yours can help.
  • {Sad} I... I didn't make it in time. Kellogg was working with the Institute and he... he gave them Shaun...
  • {playful banter, lovingly married for years} I love the haircut.
  • That's why he's there. To make the Institute think twice about following him.
  • {bribing someone / Question} Maybe we can reach an agreement? I just happen to have a pile of caps here...
  • {tapping your spouse on the shoulder to get their attention} Hon...
  • {Prewar Player House: Just saw the TV news that the Bombs are coming. You and your spouse begin racing to the Vault. / Afraid} I've got Shaun. Let's go!
  • All you need to know is that it's for a machine that can get me inside the Institute.
  • {slightly embarrassed / Puzzled} Any... other ideas, Nick?
  • {tapping someone on the shoulder, panicked, urgent} Hey there.
  • Shaun, isn't there some other option, some other way we could work things out?
  • {tapping someone on the shoulder, you're tired, exhausted} 'Scuse me...
  • {Confident} The Institute uses teleportation to get in and out. This machine can hijack their signal and send me instead.
  • {Disbelief} It's hard to believe the Institute would leave another way in.
  • {examining Kellogg's dead body, he has cybernetic pieces / Surprised} All this tech. You were barely human...
  • {hopeful / Worried} Take me to him, boy. Take me to Shaun...
  • {Confident} It's real. I got it from an ex-Institute scientist.
  • {re-record: being let inside the gate to the Vault, really project, as if the other person is 15-20 feet away, energy level is still up from running / Nervous} Thank you.
  • {tortured / Pleading} Why are you doing this to me? After everything I've been through...
  • {impatient / Irritated} Just tell me what we need so I can get started.
  • {seeing a sign for a detective agency, thinking out loud, still looking for Shaun in Diamond City} A detective agency. Maybe they can help me?
  • {eager to find him / Question} You said he lives here? He's still in town?
  • {Angry} You murdering, kidnapping psychopath. Give me my son. Give me Shaun! Now!
  • I know, but... it's like insurance. Just in case. For Shaun, you know?
  • {Tracking an enemy - checking out a cold campfire.} Nobody's used this recently.
  • {returning to a conversation that got interrupted / Neutral} Proctor Ingram, about the Signal Interceptor...
  • {Dogmeat is tracking Kellogg and has stopped. he's trying to pick up the scent again} Trail gone cold? Gotta find something of Kellogg's...
  • {joking, cracking wise / Amused} Doctor. It's time for you to reverse DEATH ITSELF!
  • {Concerned} Look at yourself. Darla is playing you for a sap. You're better than this. You're better than her.
  • {saying you'll go get some Buffout} I'll find some.
  • {Confident} A man named Kellogg used to live in this city. I need to search his house.
  • {Nervous} So you think this Institute is responsible?
  • {sarcastic} No, I just went out for a little stroll, thought I'd stop back and say hi.
  • {commenting on yourself, at the mirror} This new haircut's really working for me.
  • {threatening Mama Murphy in order to get her off chems / Stern} I told you no! You're going off this junk. Now. Or you're going to answer to me.
  • {player's looking at the shelf of books in his house} Wish I had more time to read...
  • {playful, loving} Don't worry. I won't take long. Go ahead.
  • {talking to spouse, playful} My boy isn't giving his mother any trouble, is he?
  • {MARK FOR RE-RECORD. relaxing at home, speaking to your spouse who is only a few feet away from you} We should take Codsworth to be serviced soon, don't you think?
  • They're scared of you, Shaun. Scared of the Institute.
  • {playful banter, lovingly married for years} New hairstyle? I love it.
  • {Question} With the Institute gone, what happens to the Railroad?
  • {angry / Angry} They stole you! Kidnapped you! It wasn't right!
  • {playful banter, lovingly married for years} Hon, you look as good as the day we met.
  • {Question} Can you take a look at these schematics? A scientist named Virgil said they could get me inside the Institute.
  • {Skeptical, unconvinced, a bit harsh} Why should I? It's hard enough just taking care of myself up there.
  • {Irritated} I could have used this before we had to fight the entire Institute.
  • Of course not, but... Look, we have Shaun to think of now.
  • {Snarky / Sarcastic} Patriot? Seriously? Who chooses these code names, anyway?
  • {Angry, resentful, feeling hurt } I could never love you, because you're not really Shaun. You're just an imitation.
  • {Nick asks you if you heard the name "Kellogg", you reply sarcastically / Sarcastic} Oh yeah. I heard their names, their home addresses, and where their diary keys are hidden!
  • Doesn't look like a robbery. Must have just gotten in his way.
  • {playful banter, lovingly married for years} Shaun totally has your eyes.
  • {to yourself, looking at a baseball} Should get this signed next time we're at the park...
  • {Sarcastic} Oh, I'm going in naked. Fingers crossed I get super powers.
  • {Confident} I'm not sure I can explain how it works, but a former Institute scientist gave me these plans.
  • Follow your lead? Why do you get to call the shots?
  • Help me, and we can try and minimize the casualties in all this. You want your people to survive, don't you?
  • {referring to Kellogg's House in Diamond City, that you're hoping to investigate} I need to talk to someone about Kellogg's old house in the West Stands.
  • {playful banter, lovingly married for years} Such pretty eyes.
  • {RE-RECORD: More defeated, hopeless / Depressed} There's no way that could be Shaun...
  • {playful banter, lovingly married for years} Are you staring at those lips too? Or is that just me?
  • {a little bit of regret / Apologetic} Because he's dead.
  • {Dogmeat is tracking Kellogg and has stopped. he's trying to pick up the scent again} What is it, boy? What are we looking for?
  • I need to get inside the Institute. These are plans for the machine that can do it.
  • {Friendly} For you and Shaun, no price is too high.
  • {InPain} I have this... burning feeling inside my skull. It's like it's on fire...
  • {Nick asks you if you heard the name "Kellogg" / Depressed} No. They never said their names.
  • {Angry} It's none of your damned business, Tom. Get this thing running.
  • {you've never heard of Super Mutants before / Puzzled} Super Mutants? What are they?
  • {tired, still nervous, being led to the Vault} We're almost there...
  • {referring to yourself, looking in the mirror} Not bad, not bad...
  • {playful banter, lovingly married for years} You do know you've got the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen?
  • {Stern} Then you're going to take me to him. Right now.
  • Maybe... I... I don't know. This is so much to take in.
  • {Confident} He's dead, whether you believe me or not.
  • {Question} Did you know the Institute has a teleporter called the Molecular Relay? Take a look.
  • {Sarcastic} You say it that way and suddenly I'm nervous.
  • Kellogg was... let's just say he was more complex than you might think.
  • Is all that really necessary? What's there to learn?
  • I need help. We need to build a device that can get me inside the Institute.
  • {with your spouse, listening to the TV report of the bombs dropping / Nervous} Hon?
  • If you help me, we can minimize casualties on both sides.
  • {angry, seething / Stern} Get Kellogg, boy. Take me to that son of a bitch...
  • {Stern} Just don't damage that brain, you two. I need it.
  • {playful banter, lovingly married for years} You are so beautiful.
  • Shaun, if you help me, fewer people will die. Will you?
  • {saying you'll go get some Psycho} I'll look for some.
  • {playful banter, lovingly married for years} Hmm. So pretty.
  • {playful banter, lovingly married for years} Did you color your hair?
  • {referring to yourself, looking in the mirror} Looking good, if I do say so myself...
  • Can you tell me anything about the Institute? I need to get in there.
  • {Question} Any idea what I'm going to see in there?
  • {polite, slightly hesitant} He's definitely impressive.
  • {player is standing there not saying anything} Are you okay?
  • {Puzzled} Can you explain how this thing is actually going to work?
  • {to yourself, looking at your wife's law degree, in your house at the beginning of the game} I'm so proud of her...
  • After what I've seen, I pity the man. He was as much a victim as anything.
  • {Angry} These bad people, they... they stole you from me.
  • {tapping someone on the shoulder, panicked, urgent} 'Scuse me.
  • {bombs just dropped, barely made it into the vault / Puzzled} We did it. We made it. We're okay...
  • {tapping someone on the shoulder, panicked, urgent} Hey.
  • {joking, cracking wise / Amused} Nick and I are gonna share a mind? I'm not gonna see him in any... compromising positions, am I?
  • {hesitant, half-joking / Concerned} You sure you know what you're doing here? This thing won't vaporize me, right?
  • {panicked, running to the Vault with your spouse} Keep going!
  • {Direct, blunt, a little annoyed... no compassion} I'm not your father. Whoever told you that was lying.
  • The Institute uses teleportation to get in and out. The Interceptor can hijack their signal and send me instead.
  • There's no going back, Shaun. The Institute has to be stopped.
  • {looking at your wife's law degree} Sure beats my alma mater...
  • {player looking at the shower in the bathroom} Don't need to shower...
  • {tired, still nervous, being led to the Vault, talking to your spouse} Come on, let's get to the Vault...
  • {focused on finding Shaun / Irritated} I don't have time to sit and chit-chat.
  • {impatient / Irritated} Why wait when we have a way inside right now?
  • {Neutral} Just tell me what we need so I can get started.
  • {Angry} Back off. I'm trying to share some information that could help us both out.
  • You're gonna end up just as dead if you don't give me what I want.
  • {Sarcastic} Maybe you can trick out my hot rod next.
  • {Concerned} This is all just a misunderstanding, Skinny. You know that. You let us walk and we won't come back.
  • {Puzzled} I don't know. I might need your help on this one, but maybe I should go on my own...
  • Not sure who started it, but this trader never stood a chance.
  • {Friendly} The sacrifices were worth it. You've done it.
  • {sincere, polite} Then I'm glad you caught up with me.
  • Long story, and I don't have time. I need the code off this Courser Chip.
  • {Stern} There's no time to argue about this. Activate the relay.
  • {Sarcastic} What? You don't have a spare teleporter lying around? What kind of egghead are you?
  • {Angry} Goddamn it, you mercenary motherfucker. Where. Is. My. Son?!
  • {Sarcastic} Oh, Mister "Metal for Hands" doesn't know how to get back to the factory?
  • {referring to the shape of the teleporter platform being big and round / Sarcastic} There's a giant metal pizza sitting on the ground now, so... Yeah...
  • {you're already in the Railroad / Friendly} Thanks, doctor. I know the way.
  • {Depressed} It's a dead-end, Nick. Face it, we lost. Shaun's gone.
  • {deflecting the question, changing the subject} It doesn't matter. What does is what you know about the Institute.
  • {Irritated} Oh no, I'm not going there. That's crazy.
  • {looking at a baseball glove in Shaun's room} The glove's a little big right now, but Shaun will grow into it...
  • {playful banter, lovingly married for years} You have such a cute chin.
  • {someone's taking your baby from your arms, and you're stopping them, cryopod scene chargen} No, wait. No, I've got him!
  • {Mama Murphy used her Sight and told you to say these words} Wait. Skinny. "Remember the Quarry. Lilly June on the rocks." Ring any bells?
  • {commenting on yourself, at the mirror} What do you think, hon? Beard or no beard?
  • {Concerned} Darla, listen to me. You have a home to go back to. You don't want to throw your life away with these thugs.
  • {disgusted but holding back / Disgust} It's not you. It's not even human. I could never love that.
  • {playful} That's my boy. On his best behavior, just like his dad. Well, most of the time, anyway...
  • I still need your help building the Signal Interceptor.
  • {shouting the last part: "We need to get to the Vault. NOW!" / Nervous} We need to get to the Vault. Now!
  • {playful banter, lovingly married for years} Every time I see that face, I fall in love with you all over again.
  • Can you take a look at these schematics? A scientist named Virgil said they could get me inside the Institute.
  • {Irritated} I don't have time for a scavenger hunt.
  • Aren't you a coward... A huge hulking monster like you is afraid of a dead man?
  • {An act of kindness/mercy} All right, you can come with me.
  • {Worried} Do we have enough troops for the assault?
  • {player looking at an American flag. Matter-of-fact tone, not sarcastic or overly patriotic} Good 'ole USA...
  • {to yourself, looking at a pack of cigarettes} Now who left those here?
  • {relieved, emotional / Relieved} It's really you... After all this time...
  • {Apologetic} Shaun, I'm sorry that it's come to this.
  • {SinisterSmile} Skinny's no good for you, Darla. You put a bullet in him, and I just might let you go.
  • {looking at a newspaper / Puzzled} Hmm...more of the same...
  • {describing your case to Nick for the first time} We were in a Vault when it happened. Vault 111. It was some kind of cryo facility.
  • {playful banter, lovingly married for years} Gorgeous.
  • {soft, under your breathe, listening to the news about nuclear war starting / Disbelief} What? What did he say?
  • {desperate, grasping at straws / Nervous} It's Shaun! ... It has to be... S-somehow...
  • {Concerned} Hell of a story, but... I guess it does make sense.
  • {at the Vault Cryopods, Shaun's acting up} Shaun's acting up. Could you help me?
  • {Puzzled} Don't look at me, doctor. This stuff is beyond me.
  • {saying you'll go get some Mentats} Mentats. Got it.
  • {playful banter, lovingly married for years} I swear you haven't aged a day since our wedding.
  • {Concerned} Wow, that's quite a list. Might take me a while to find everything.
  • {Cold, indifferent} On second thought, no. I don't need the baggage. Sorry, kid.
  • {panicked, running to the Vault with your spouse} The Vault's this way! Come on!
  • {Confident} I have a way to infiltrate the Institute using a device called a Signal Interceptor.
  • Come on, hon. It's just a little paperwork. Let him fill it out, and it's done.
  • {cryopod scene chargen / Nervous} *coughing* Is it over? Are we okay?
  • {Sad} It... It wasn't all his fault. I can't blame him for everything that happened...
  • {Angry} Let's get on with it. It's past time the Institute got what it deserved.
  • {player is showing the bandages to Dogmeat} Dogmeat. Get the scent boy...
  • {Irritated} Come on, give me a break. After all, I helped you with those ferals.
  • I got a way in. The only thing that matters is if you're going to help me.
  • {looking at the fireplace in your living room} A little old-fashioned, but nothing quite like a real fire...
  • {waiting for the player to enter the Vault pods} Go ahead. I just want to give Shaun a moment.
  • {at the bathroom mirror - your spouse just tapped you on the shoulder and is only a couple of feet away from you} Why don't you see if breakfast is ready?
  • {horrified / Disgust} Collateral damage? She was murdered!
  • {playful banter, lovingly married for years} Wait, did you go to the hairdresser yesterday?
  • {Thinking} Could use your help finding parts for the Beam Emitter.
  • {Irritated} This isn't funny, Nick. How's a dog supposed to help us?
  • {Sarcastic} That wasn't the plan originally, but hey, tempting.
  • {Confident} I was told you could help me. I need to build a Signal Interceptor to get into the Institute.
  • Relax, big guy. Kellogg won't be coming after you. He's dead.
  • You agree to help me, and I'll save as many of your people as I can.
  • {to yourself, looking in your closet at clothes} No need to get dressed twice...
  • {punch "already" / Sarcastic} After helping you with those ferals, I'd say I'm already a part of the team.
  • {Confident} Absolutely. Let's get the hell out of here.
  • {Question} How are we going to build this Control Console?
  • {shouting, desperate - player is going the wrong way / Afraid} Honey! Where are you going!?
  • {at the bathroom mirror - your spouse just tapped you on the shoulder and is only a couple of feet away from you} I'm hurrying up. Don't worry.
  • {struggling to hold onto your child, cryopod scene chargen / Defiant} I'm not giving you Shaun!
  • {at the bathroom mirror - your spouse just tapped you on the shoulder and is only a couple of feet away from you} Just getting ready.
  • {Happy} I talked to Sturges. Sounds like we can finally go after the Institute.
  • {Puzzled} I need you to find someone, but it's... complicated. I don't exactly know where they could be, or how long they've been gone.
  • {Angry} Bullshit. You're a synth, Valentine! Tell me what you know!
  • {player looking at a clock in the kitchen} Still pretty early...
  • {confused, somewhat horrified} What the hell are you?
  • I have a feeling fighting the Brotherhood was just an appetizer.
  • Why did you leave the Institute? I know you came from there.
  • {Kellogg's voice is coming out of Nick Valentine / Disbelief} Kellogg? Is that you?
  • {tapping your spouse on the shoulder, inside the vault, checking up on them} You alright?
  • {playful banter, moving your spouse out of the way to use the mirror} Lemme just slide in here...
  • {Irritated} They can't be the only people who can crack a damn code.
  • {Confident} Elder Maxson said you'd help me build the Signal Interceptor.
  • {angry, firm} You're not Shaun. You're a robot, made to think you're real.
  • You sure you know what you're doing? This thing isn't going to zap me into space, or vaporize me or anything, is it?
  • Who do I talk to if I need to find a key to a house that's been locked up?
  • Preston tells me you found a way into the Institute.
  • {Sarcastic} What? The great clockwork dick is stumped?
  • {Apologetic} He wasn't going to talk. Even if I had a way of bringing him alive.
  • {baby is being fussy} It'll be okay. Mommy's right here, see?
  • {Codsworth just shouted from the living room down the hall} What's wrong with Codsworth?
  • {Concerned} It may take me a while to gather these things.
  • I'm looking for a key to a house in the city. I assume the mayor's office has a copy?
  • I don't believe you. There's no way any of this is true.
  • {Angry / Irritated} Red Glare was insane. You almost got us killed.
  • {playful, loving} I've tried waiting him out before. Doesn't work. Might as well just answer the door.
  • {threatening / Angry} I want answers, asshole. Now.
  • {tapping your spouse on the shoulder, inside the vault} Hey, Hon...
  • {Apologetic} Yes! It's me! Your dad... I'm here, Shaun.
  • {Question} Nick's an older model synth. Is he compatible?
  • {playful banter to spouse, salesman keeps ringing the door} Well, now I just wanna know who's going to give up first. Us or him.
  • {Stern} It doesn't matter now. Let's do what we came to do.
  • {playful banter, lovingly married for years} Shaun has your smile, you know?
  • {emotional, confused / Disbelief} Who is Father? Where is he?
  • {Worried} We need help, Piper. This man named Kellogg kidnapped my son, but that wasn't all. He was working with the Institute. He... he gave them Shaun...
  • {referring to yourself, looking in the mirror} I clean up pretty nice...
  • {Confident} I want to help the Brotherhood stop the Institute. It's the only way to ensure the safety of the Commonwealth.
  • {Friendly} Nice work, Tom. Glad you're on our side.
  • {playful banter, moving your spouse out of the way to use the mirror} Just another minute. I swear...
  • {panicked, running to the Vault with your spouse} This way!
  • {Irritated} I didn't do this for the Brotherhood, I did this for myself.
  • {surprised, unsettled / Surprised} Seriously? You really believe a human could love a synth?
  • {Disgust} You made a child synth... that looks like you. That's... it's... It's an abomination!
  • {playful, loving, in the baby's room with your wife} We'll have plenty of time together now that I'm back. You, me, and Shaun.
  • {talking to yourself, a teddy bear is on the floor} Huh. How'd you get on the floor, Mister Bear?
  • {looking at empty dog bowl in the house, talking to yourself} *sigh* Never gonna find that dog...
  • {panicked, running to the Vault with your spouse} Follow me!
  • {Confident} I'll find a way to get through the rads. Don't worry.
  • {Pleading} Please, Mayor McDonough. This man Kellogg kidnapped my son. I need to find him.
  • {Irritated} You're supposed to be the expert. All I have are these plans.
  • {Angry} It's convinced me that I did the right thing. He was a rabid dog, and he needed to be put down.
  • {Confident} Sounds good. I'll get the details from Sturges.
  • {referring to yourself, looking in the mirror} Well, hello handsome...
  • {Worried} Am I okay? Are you seeing anything... bad?
  • {relaxing at home, speaking to your spouse who is only a few feet away from you} Well, look at you, how'd a guy like me ever get so lucky, huh?
  • {hesitant, concerned but half-joking} The Relay works? It's not going to vaporize me or something, is it?
  • {Disbelief} Shaun, I've been looking for you for... so long.
  • {Stern} We don't have time for this, Proctor. Get us out of here.
  • {describing your case to Nick for the first time / Puzzled} There was a man and a woman. They didn't say much, but I remember they called me "the backup."
  • {Sarcastic} That chip in his neck just looked so shiny. I couldn't help it.
  • Lots of blood here. Dogmeat could track Kellogg - if he took a wound, too.
  • {playful banter, lovingly married for years} Hon, you have such great cheekbones.
  • {a bit cocky / SinisterSmile} Well, guess what. This is your lucky day. I have a way inside.
  • {Friendly} I'm glad you could make sense of those plans.
  • {MARK FOR RE-RECORD. MALE ONLY. threatening} You're going to help me, or I'm going to hurt you.
  • Don't change the subject. I'm the one asking questions here. I want to know about the Institute, and I want to know now.
  • {Conflicted, hurt, struggling with loss} I loved my son... my real son. You're not him. It's not fair to ask me that.
  • {Irritated} Some expert you are. I knew this was a waste of time.
  • {Puzzled} I don't know. I'm not even sure we could track him down.
  • {Sarcastic} We can talk to him. Feel like holding a seance?
  • {Angry} This is your fault, Nick! You had me running around all over the place while Kellogg was busy handing Shaun over to the Institute!
  • {playful banter, lovingly married for years / Flirting} Right.
  • I'll head out with Piper. We'll meet you there, Nick.
  • {bribing the mayor / Friendly} I understand. You have rules. Maybe for the right amount, you can bend them a bit?
  • {struggling to hold onto your child, cryopod scene kellogg's brain / Defiant} I'm not giving you Shaun!
  • {shell-shocked / Disbelief} This is... insane. All of it.
  • {to yourself, looking at Shaun's toy car} Hehe. To think, one day he's gonna learn how to drive...
  • You were along for the ride, weren't you? You saw what I saw.
  • {emphasis on "real" / Stern} Give me Shaun. The real Shaun. Right now.
  • Took out the targeting computer with one bullet. This guy's a crack shot.
  • {still a bit shaken from the bomb blast, referring to how long you'll be living in the vault / Nervous} How long do you think we'll be down here?
  • {Re-record, more under your breathe, referring to the Vault-Tec Rep} Vault-Tec...pfft...
  • {Irritated} I don't see how this is ever going to work.
  • {someone's taking your baby from your arms, and you're stopping them, cryopod scene kellogg's brain} No, wait. No, I've got him!
  • {close to desperate, confused / Disbelief} Just... Help me understand what's going on here.
  • {describing the voice of the man that killed your spouse / Stern} I'll never forget that voice. Low and rough. Like sandpaper across your face.
  • {at the bathroom mirror - your spouse just tapped you on the shoulder and is only a couple of feet away from you} I'll just be a minute.
  • {Angry} I don't care why they did it. They're going to pay.
  • {honest question, not accusatory / Puzzled} Can't you just use any chair?
  • {Puzzled} But what about what you said during your speech? This could be a way to strike at the heart of the Institute.
  • {Angry} You knew the man was a psychopath, but you used him anyway?
  • It's for the greater good. The Commonwealth deserves to determine its own fate.
  • {playful banter, lovingly married for years} Such a great smile.
  • {Angry} Kellogg kidnapped my son. Handed him to the Institute. And I'm going to find them and make them regret what they've done to me.
  • {comforting Shaun, about to enter the Vault cryopod} Who's my little guy? I'm not going far. I'll just be over there.
  • {looking at Shaun's tricycle} Can't wait to teach him to ride this...
  • {refusing to give Mama Murphy chems / Stern} No. You're an addict. You need help.

Before
  • Dogmeat:
  • UniformEscort: You two follow me! Come on!
  • Ellie: Yeah, that's right. The house in the abandoned West Stands. The boy with him was around ten years old.
  • Player Default: You think Raiders might have done this?
  • Player Default: Don't lie to me, Nick. You're one of them. They made you.
  • Nick: Or I could head back to Diamond City, since you've got company already.
  • Player Default: Super Mutants? What are they?
  • Player Default: Who are the Gunners?
  • Player Default: You're a prototype?
  • Amari: I'm not surprised. From what I've seen, all Institute technology has a similar architecture.
  • Piper: So a murderer and a kidnapper gets his brains blown out by an avenging parent. *sigh* It'd be a great ending if we didn't still have the biggest mystery in the Commonwealth to solve...
  • Player Default: I'll never forget that voice. Low and rough. Like sandpaper across your face.
  • Player Default: Whatever you're thinking, it doesn't matter. He's dead.
  • NickValentine: Besides, you already have plenty of company. We can't all go sniffing through the Commonwealth after one man.
  • Player Default: The woman was dressed in... I think it was a kind of hazard suit. The man had... some sort of metal brace on his arm.
  • Player Default: The man that... killed my wife. He had a handgun. I didn't get a clear look at it, but that sound...
  • Player Default: You don't know anything about them? Really?
  • Nick: I want you to come to my office in Diamond City. Give me all the details. Besides, I think you've earned a chance to sit down and clear your head.
  • Sturges: Relay's ready whenever you are, boss. Shall we?
  • Sturges: I made a few custom modifications to it that I think you might like. Here, take it for a test drive.
  • Sturges: Teleportation? This is some pretty crazy shit. You sure it's for real?
  • Player Default: Very well.
  • Player Default: Nick Valentine wanted me to see you.
  • Player Default: What do you think we should do?
  • MamaMurphy: The Sight can help you, kid. It always has answers. Just gotta bring me some Jet, so I can see what it wants to tell you.
  • Ingram: You're clear to go, then. Ready?
  • Nick: No synth does. Security protocols strip those memories out.
  • Nick: I know it's grisly, but what choice do we have? We got no leads. Nothing. That old merc's brain just might have all the secrets we need to know.
  • Nick: Kellogg. Huh...
  • Nick: I have to go to the Memory Den either way, if I'm gonna introduce you to Amari. But if you want to head there together, just say so.
  • Virgil: So, they did send you, didn't they. You're working with Kellogg!
  • Virgil: Can you? I mean, can you build it? You have people that can help? This is a lot for one person, even you.
  • Player Default: Why are you so afraid of Kellogg?
  • Virgil: How'd you manage to get it decoded?
  • Virgil: Why are you even here? What do you want?
  • Virgil: First thing's first. You know how synths get in and out of the Institute?
  • Virgil: I want to be clear that this isn't my area of expertise. I was BioScience, not Engineering or Advanced Systems or anything.
  • Shaun: While you may be my father, I am Father to the Institute. It follows my lead, and thus for now, you must as well. Will you trust me?
  • Shaun: It wasn't until I became Director that I learned of all the things he'd done... what kind of man he was.
  • Shaun: And here I am. Raised by the Institute, and now its leader.
  • Shaun: I've shown you my trust. Your weapons haven't been confiscated, and I stand unarmed before you. Please, let's just talk.
  • Shaun: I am their Father. Through Science, we are family. The synths, me... and you.
  • Shaun: You've been in the Commonwealth. You've seen what it's like. I assure you that you are better off with us.
  • Shaun: I am... your son.
  • ShaunOld: There's nothing more to say.
  • Shaun: I know there's more for us to discuss, but...
  • Player Default: Shaun, I... I hoped there was something more I could do. I wanted to save you.
  • Shaun: I've gone over the records of the incident, of course. It seems her death was an unfortunate bit of collateral damage.
  • ShaunOld: The only question left, then, is what you intend to do with me. Kill me now, or let the explosion vaporize me along with the rest of my Institute?
  • Shaun: The Institute... It's important. It really is humanity's best hope for the future, no matter what those above ground might think of us.
  • Shaun: Rather than cast me aside once they had what they needed, they raised me as one of their own. I've lived my entire life within the Institute.
  • Shaun: So they followed the best example thus far - the human being. Walking, talking, fully articulate... Capable of anything.
  • Shaun: There is much to be done. You'll need time to acclimate yourself, a chance to become acquainted with our procedures...
  • ShaunOld: Tell me, then. Under what righteous pretense have you justified this atrocity?
  • ShaunOld: I don't suppose you're here because you've changed your mind.
  • Shaun: Let's start anew. I am Father. Welcome to the Institute.
  • NickValentine: Don't worry about me, Amari. I'm well past the warranty date, anyway.
  • NickValentine: Hell, why not? Plenty of room in my head, anyway.
  • Player Default: You were along for the ride, weren't you? You saw what I saw.
  • Player Default: Why? What makes the Glowing Sea so dangerous?
  • Player Default: I saw Kellogg's life... The man who ruined my family... The man I killed...
  • Player Default: What? You don't have a spare teleporter lying around? What kind of egghead are you?
  • Player Default: Don't look at me, doctor. This stuff is beyond me.
  • NickValentine: Don't bother. I don't need to hear them. Plug me in, doc.
  • Player Default: There's more than one person who knows about the Institute. Virgil, that scientist who escaped...
  • NickValentine: Don't worry about me, Amari. Let's do it.
  • DoctorAmari: But our friends at the Railroad. They just might. Take it to them. See what they can find out.
  • DoctorAmari: Are you... ready to talk about what happened in there?
  • Player Default: Almost there. We're gonna be okay. I love you. Both of you.
  • Kellogg: Let the boy go. I'm only gonna tell you once!
  • Player Default: For now, it's enough that you understand that the Institute really is devoted to the betterment of humanity.
  • TinkerTom: Just goes to show you, people have to listen to good ol' Tom. So hand over the plans and let's see what we got.
  • NickValentine: When you're trying to find someone who's gone missing, the devil is in the details. Tell me everything you can, no matter how... painful it might be.
  • Player Default: Who told you that I was your father?
  • NPCMNickValentine: Interesting brand. Won't lead us anywhere on its own, though.
  • Preston: We fight our way to their reactor, fix it to blow, and get the hell out of there.
  • NPCFProctorIngram: Any luck building the platform yet?
  • Desdemona: We've run out of time. Our next step is to attack the Institute.
  • Soldier_Elevator: All right, that's it. Send it down.
  • Virgil: What reason could you possibly have for taking that kind of risk?
  • Player Default: If Virgil found a way to survive there, you'll have to do the same, if you're going to follow him.
  • Player Default: Like grist in the mill, honey. Good luck.
  • Nick: Ah, my knight-in-shining-armor. But the question is, why does he come all this way, risk life and limb, for an old private eye?
  • NPCMTinkerTom: You got the platform built yet? Tick tock, tick tock. I'm waiting for the good news.
  • Player Default: This isn't some fairy tale, father. There's no saving me. I'm dying, and you're going to destroy everything I've ever loved.
  • NPCFDoctorAmari: We can't get to the memories in that implant. There's a lock.
  • NPCMPaladinDanse: Stop right there, civilian. No unauthorized personal are permitted beyond this point.
  • Player Default: You can, but I'll warn you. He's not going to like you bringing that reporter into his office. You might want to ask her to wait outside.
  • Player Default: Why would I ever consider helping you?
  • Preston: The Institute? Why in the world would you want to mess around with them?
  • Sturges: But... You didn't even talk to the kid. You're not going to leave him here, are you?
  • Player Default: You wouldn't... Please, no. I'll do whatever you want.
  • PlayerTV: Followed by... yes, followed by flashes. Blinding flashes. Sounds of explosions... We're... we're trying to get confirmation...
  • Player Default: "Father" is my unofficial title. It's what I've come to mean to the people of the Institute. Just as... As you mean to your son. To Shaun.
  • Player Default: The degree of trauma you're experiencing right now is understandable... Please, just try to relax. I know this is all difficult to take in.
  • ActiveSpouse: Hey, how's my little guy? Much better now, huh?
  • Virgil: They're very good at what they do, and you're going to have to kill one.
  • Player Default: Wait. It couldn't be... You didn't hear the name "Kellogg" at all, did you?
  • Player Default: I just need to verify some information. That's all!
  • Player Default: Besides, every citizen in my city has a right to their privacy. Now, if we did have a key, only the owner can ask for it. That's my final word.
  • NPCFDoctorAmari: You're back. The Glowing Sea. Virgil. What happened?
  • Player Default: But I do have a code phrase. Some kind of clue if I ever needed to find them on my own. "Follow the Freedom Trail."
  • Virgil: I'm not stupid, I knew they'd send him after me!
  • Player Default: Don't want there to be any hold ups, in the unforeseen event of *ahem*...total atomic annihilation. Won't take but a moment.
  • Kellogg: But I think we've been talking long enough. We both know how this has to end. So... you ready?
  • ActiveSpouse: Come on, hon. It's just a little paperwork. Let him fill it out, and it's done.
  • ElderMaxson: Now, indulge me for a moment by satisfying my curiosity. Tell me why you're so eager to get into the Institute.
  • NPCFMamaMurphy: Got a favor to ask ya, kid. I know it's silly, but I need a chair. Something with a nicer fit for these old bones. Can you do that for me?
  • Player Default: In truth, no. I'm dying anyway. So... do what you will.
  • Player Default: Shaun's a good kid. A bit older than you expected, am I right? But he's doing great. Only... he's not here. He's with the people pulling the strings.
  • Player Default: Yes. Their greatest secret has finally been revealed. But that only leads to more questions. How does it work? Where do we go next?
  • Player Default: Won't take but a moment! We do need to verify some information. To make sure you're cleared for entrance, in the unforeseen event of *ahem*...total atomic annihilation.
  • PaladinDanse: However, if you're here to sign up, I might have some work you could assist us with. Then we can discuss whatever you like.
  • Player Default: You'd have to ask the Mayor directly if you want the keys.
  • TinkerTom: And you can divert the signal using a heavily modified relay interception. Like a... pirate broadcast, you know? That's intense.
  • NPCFProctorIngram: Do you need any help with the Signal Interceptor?
  • ActiveSpouse: *baby cries*
  • ActiveSpouse: *baby giggles*
  • ActiveSpouse: *baby mumbles*
  • ActiveSpouse: *chuckle* Good answer.
  • ActiveSpouse: Honey? Could you help me?
  • ActiveSpouse: Oh my god...
  • Player Default: For you and Shaun, no price is too high.
  • BabyActivator: *baby crying*
  • BabyActivator: *baby giggles*
  • NPCMSturges: You need any help with that Signal Interceptor?
  • NPCFDesdemona: Right. Some ground rules. Tom can get you the code, but once he's done we get the Courser Chip.
  • NPCMNickValentine: So, Kellogg wasn't giving us any bull. Your son really is on the inside. Even I don't know where the Institute is, and they built me.
  • ElderMaxson: That's where we need your help.
  • NPCFDoctorAmari: Let's start over... How are you feeling?
  • Kellogg: Open it.
  • Desdemona: Hand over the chip. Let's see what's on it.
  • VaultTecRep: You can't begin to know how happy I am to finally speak with you. I've been trying for days. It's a matter of utmost urgency, I assure you.
  • NPCFDoctorAmari: Well. What is this about?
  • NPCFMamaMurphy: Got that Jet we talked about, kid?
  • NPCFPiper: Come on. Let's hear the whole story.
  • NPCMPrestonGarvey: What do you need, General?
  • Nick: What? What are you talking about?
  • NPCFDesdemona: I have a report here. It reads more like a comic book. Apparently, one hell of a fight took place at Greenetech Genetics.
  • Player Default: And if I could, why should I?
  • Player Default: Don't worry. You'll see.
  • Player Default: Get out of here.
  • Player Default: Have a nice day.
  • Player Default: He's home. In the Institute.
  • Player Default: I am glad to hear that.
  • Player Default: I said, "no."
  • Player Default: I'm glad you were here to save me.
  • Player Default: My own father...
  • Player Default: Oh. Very well then.
  • Player Default: Okay, I'm ready! Let's go!
  • Player Default: Really? Do you mean it?
  • Player Default: Right, of course. I'm your father.
  • Player Default: So why did you kill him?
  • Player Default: That would be a kindness.
  • Player Default: Um...Thanks again...
  • Player Default: We need to get to the Vault. Now!
  • Player Default: Why did you call me "dad"?
  • Preston: Oh yeah? What are they for?
  • Virgil: I can help, but... I'm going to need something in return.
  • Player Default: You're just going to leave me here... I can't believe it. I hate you!
  • NPCFMamaMurphy: Sanctuary. I knew you'd join us here, kid. Your energy is tied to this place.
  • Shaun: Have you reconsidered your decision?
  • Shaun: Will you take that chance?
  • ShaunChild: Huh? Yes... I'm Shaun...
  • ShaunChild: What's going on? Father? Father!
  • ShaunChild: Who... Who are you?
  • Soldier_Elevator: NOW! NOW! SEND IT DOWN NOW!
  • Sturges: Sure thing. Let's see what you've got.
  • Desdemona: And now here we are. Threatening the devil himself.
  • PlayerTV: But we seem to have lost contact with our affiliate stations...
  • V111BabyShaunMarker: *Shaun cries*
  • VaultTecRep: Good morning! Vault-Tec calling!
  • Virgil: Don't you lie to me!
  • Virgil: What?
  • TinkerTom: By the time you finish that, I'll have the rest done.
  • Sturges: But there isn't any other way in that I can find, so it's this or nothing.
  • Nick: If anyone could get a dead brain to sing, it'll be Doctor Amari, the mind behind the memories.
  • Desdemona: What I'm about to tell you is the most closely guarded secret the Railroad has. It's time you learn about Patriot.
  • NPCMTinkerTom: Hey, man, need help with the Signal Interceptor? This thing is going to be huge. We'll finally learn about what the Institute's really up to, man.
  • Player Default: Shaun's safe at home. In the Institute.
  • ProctorIngram: All right, I'll bite. What does your new miracle device do?
  • Player Default: You'll need a code phrase to find them. "Follow the Freedom Trail." I'm afraid that's all I have.
  • Desdemona: Deacon claimed he was grooming you for it. Said it was his plan all along.
  • Player Default: What I mean is, thanks. Now let's get out of here!
  • MobsterGirl: Oh yeah, then what's this guy doing here, huh? Valentine must have brought him here to rub us all out!
  • Player Default: So you see? It is the end of the line. But not the way you imagined.
  • Piper: Ooooh, look who it is. What brings you to the Mayor's office, huh?
  • Player Default: Come on, it's not like anything's going to happen.
  • Player Default: If there was something belonging to the man that you have a claim on, you could ask the mayor to hear you out. No guarantees.
  • NPCFDesdemona: Glad to have you aboard. Before you joined us, you wanted my help with something. I'm listening.
  • NPCFMamaMurphy: Ready for the Sight again, kid? Usually like mixing Psycho in with something else, but I'll need it straight this time.
  • ProctorIngram: And this little beauty allows you to literally hijack a return signal. Instead of grabbing the intended target, it grabs you instead. Impressive.
  • Desdemona: But are you up for the next mission, Fixer?
  • ElderMaxson: In the meantime, I need you to follow my orders and remain patient.
  • Ingram: Wait a second... you haven't even talked to the kid. You're not just going to leave him here are you?
  • Player Default: I know, I know. You've gone to such lengths to find him.
  • NPCMKellogg: Hope you got what you were looking for inside my head. Heh. I was right. Should've killed you when you were on ice.
  • Desdemona: If your plan works, and you're able to get inside the Institute, we need you to make contact.
  • Player Default: I can't allow you to invade someone else's home. That's all there is to it.
  • ShaunChild: Father... What's going on? What's happening?
  • Player Default: He had to have a way in and out. But... am I right in thinking he's not available for a chin wag?
  • Player Default: Why would you say you're not? Don't you love me anymore?
  • Player Default: Yeah, but something tells me he's not gonna drop by for a chat and coffee...
  • Amari: He'll act as a host while your consciousness drives through whatever memories we can find.
  • ActiveSpouse: How are the two most important men in my life doing?
  • Player Default: He's set aside time to talk to petitioners all day. Best of luck.
  • Virgil: Now, have you ever seen an Institute Courser?
  • Shaun: ...and now, after all these years, you have an opportunity to help with that. Doesn't that intrigue you? Isn't that what you want?
  • Desdemona: Thank you for keeping them, and yourself, safe.
  • Player Default: One of them gave me a code phrase. Said it would help me find them if there was ever an emergency. "Follow the Freedom Trail."
  • Player Default: Look, we don't have any options left... you have to go after him. Through that sea of radioactive ash.
  • Player Default: My help? With what? How did you even find me, anyway?
  • NPCFMamaMurphy: You need the Sight? It's telling me Mentats will give us the right high for another insight into your destiny.
  • Player Default: Come on. You really think it could happen? Nuclear war?
  • NPCFMamaMurphy: We're gonna need a heavy hitter for the Sight to keep working, kid. Buffout ought to do it.
  • Shaun: You mean the child? It's a fascinating project, really. There are issues to be solved, of course, but we've made remarkable progress.
  • ActiveSpouse: Hey, it's peace of mind. That's worth a little paperwork, right?
  • Player Default: You need a code phrase in order to find them. "Follow the Freedom Trail." Good luck.""
  • NPCMSturges: Everything looks good on my end. You ready to see if this thing actually works?
  • VaultTecEscort: Oh you're going to love it here. This is one of our most advanced facilities. Not that the others aren't great, mind you...
  • ProctorIngram: Now I know some of that might as well be in Greek, so I'll be around if you have any questions.
  • NPCMSturges: How's it going? Did you find a good spot to build your Signal Interceptor?
  • Player Default: But don't worry. You'll die knowing he's safe, and happy. A bit older than you expected, but ah well. At least he's in a loving home. The Institute.
  • Player Default: If that's what you'll tell yourself so you can sleep at night, so be it. Now go. Leave me.
  • NPCMShaun10: Please, dad... Don't leave me here! I want to go with you!
  • Kellogg: And there he is. The most resilient man in the Commonwealth. Funny, I thought I had that honor.
  • ShaunChild: I don't know you! Go away! Father! Father, help me! There's someone here! Help me!
  • Desdemona: So that's what the Courser Chip was all about. You needed that frequency I take it? Why? What does this machine do?
  • Desdemona: Damn it. Fixer, you ready to do this? We can't lose this opportunity.
  • Player Default: Hypothetically speaking, why would that agent take on a Courser single-handedly in the first place?
  • NPCMSturges: Hey, boss. I've been hoping you'd stop by. I found you a way in to the Institute.
  • NPCMNickValentine: Dogmeat's here. Ready to get to work?
  • Player Default: Yes. Yes you could. And I would be powerless to stop you.
  • Preston: They could've just held out down here forever. Why'd they need to come mess with us?
  • NPCFDesdemona: Ah, the Courser Killer returns. What brings you back here?
  • TinkerTom: You find those and we'll knock down the gates of Hell.
  • Player Default: You're right. This speculation is getting us off track. Let's focus on what you saw. What did these kidnappers look like?
  • Desdemona: There's no turning back now; if they're not already on to us, they will be within seconds.
  • TinkerTom: We're set, right? You're ready to get out of here?
  • Shaun: I wish there were something to say. I know this isn't what you wanted. But it's the only truth I can offer you.
  • Player Default: Yeah, but I'm guessing he wasn't the "surrender and talk" type, was he?
  • VaultTecRep: Just to need to get this pesky info all squared away!
  • NickValentine: Hmm... There's a lot of groups in the Commonwealth that take people. Raiders, Super Mutants, the Gunners, and of course, there's the Institute.
  • Sturges: I'll meet you over at the building site, and we'll see if we can actually make this thing work.
  • Nick: Only person I know willing to snoop up the Institute's tail feathers is Piper, the reporter in Diamond City. I say we head her way. Talk this through.
  • Maxson: It's time we close this chapter on the Commonwealth, and begin one anew.
  • Player Default: Shaun's in a good place. Where he's safe, and comfortable, and loved. A place he calls home. The Institute.
  • NPCMMayorMcDonough: Thank you. I apologize for being strict, but Piper is a troublemaker, and I advise you to stay away from her machinations. Now, what's this about?
  • NPCMNickValentine: Where's your son? What happened?
  • VaultTecRep: I'm here today to tell you that because of your family's service to our country, you have been pre-selected for entrance into the local Vault. Vault 111.
  • Desdemona: Can you do that? Can you be our agent on the inside?
  • Player Default: If you're going to go, be prepared. You'll need some way to combat the radiation there. It's called the Glowing Sea for a reason.
  • Preston: Now, assuming you could build this thing... what exactly does it do?
  • Virgil: You're going to have to hunt one down. I can tell you where to start, and give you some help finding one, but you'll have to do the dirty work.
  • ActiveSpouse: You're gonna knock 'em dead at the Veteran's Hall tonight, hon.
  • Piper: Need a countdown on the Institute's favorite people?
  • CodsworthPrewar: Shaun has been changed, but he absolutely refuses to calm down. I think he needs some of that "paternal affection" you seem to be so good at.
  • NPCFDoctorAmari: I'll take a look at this brain, but no guarantees. Do you have it?
  • Player Default: Tell me, why would I ever consider that?
  • NPCFGeneva: The Mayor is receiving visitors, as long as they aren't members of the press. Did you need help?
  • Player Default: But if you're hoping for a happy reunion? Ain't gonna happen, pal. Your boy's not here.
  • Player Default: I think we'd both better start explaining. You start.
  • Desdemona: So teleport us in quickly. We join forces with Z1-14 and the rebel synths, then together we fight our way to the fusion reactor.
  • Amari: Putting aside the fact that you're asking me to defile a corpse, you do realize that the memory simulators require intact, LIVING brains to function?
  • Player Default: Who the hell are you, anyway? How did you find me?
  • Z1: Once we act, we have committed. There will be no going back.
  • Shaun: Do you think you could love him? Like you would a real boy?
  • Player Default: And that stranger's you. I'm all for one less Courser in the world but why'd you do it?
  • ProctorIngram: It's going to take a cargo hold full of high-grade metal, but I'm sure we have plenty of it right here at the airport.
  • NPCMPrestonGarvey: Good news, General. Sturges found a way into the Institute. We can launch an attack whenever you say the word.
  • NPCFProctorIngram: I've checked and rechecked everything. I think the Signal Interceptor's ready to go... are you?
  • Maxson: Quickly. Plant the charge so we can be rid of this place once and for all.
  • Sturges: It'll need some pretty high-grade metals, but it's basically not that different than the lining of a jet engine or something like that.
  • Player Default: Splendid, splendid! Now let's see...
  • NPCMVirgil: Wasn't sure I'd see you again. You managed to get what you need?
  • Player Default: Why is finding this key so important to you, honey?
  • Player Default: If I have your word that you'll protect them...
  • Player Default: Worst of all, no one knows why they do it, what their plan is, or where they are. Not even me, and I'm a synth myself. A discarded prototype, anyway.
  • Player Default: But I can't give him to you, because he ain't here.
  • Player Default: Need to make sure you're cleared for entrance, in the unforeseen event of *ahem*...total atomic annihilation.
  • Nick: Thanks for getting me out. How did you know where to find me, anyway? Not many people knew where I went...
  • CodsworthPrewar: Sir? Mum? You should come and see this!
  • Player Default: Nosy keeps us and you alive. I'm all for one less Courser in the world but I need to know why you killed him.
  • TinkerTom: Wait, what? But... the kid. You're not even going to talk to him? Sure he's Institute, but you can't just leave him...
  • Player Default: You're not going anywhere with me. You're not my son.
  • NPCMElderMaxson: You've done an exemplary job here, Paladin. Without your unwavering loyalty to our cause, this victory would never have been possible.
  • Jabberbot: Error. System corrupt. I can't feel my legs.
  • NPCFMamaMurphy: Come back for the Sight? I need Med-X this time. Another chem, another window to look through.
  • Player Default: I'm not sure that's such a good idea.
  • ActiveSpouse: Absolutely. Now get ready and stop hogging the mirror...
  • Player Default: Oh, this is just what I need right now...
  • Player Default: Where did the memory say he was? The Glowing Sea? That doesn't make sense. No one goes there. Not even if they were desperate.
After
  • Dogmeat:
  • UniformEscort: You two follow me! Come on!
  • Player: What do you think boy? Enough to go on?
  • Sturges: One of things in the data you stole was a plan of the whole Institute complex - including the older sections that used to be part of C.I.T.
  • PlayerTV: We do have... coming in... confirmed reports. I repeat, confirmed reports of nuclear detonations in New York and Pennsylvania.
  • ProctorIngram: It's difficult to make out all the details here, but I'm thinking you can get started by building a Stabilized Reflector Platform.
  • Virgil: First thing's first. You know how synths get in and out of the Institute?
  • Player Default: Yeah, sounds like fun.
  • Shaun: I know there's more for us to discuss, but...
  • Shaun: Please try and keep an open mind. I recognize that you are emotional, and that your journey here has been fraught with challenges.
  • TinkerTom: Then let me impart some science to you. We got four main parts.
  • NickValentine: It's synth detective, jackass. If you're gonna be that way, you might as well get the make and model right.
  • Amari: It's not like anyone has ever done this before! You try making a secret technology work across hardware generations, out of spare parts.
  • Sturges: That's right. I was hoping I'd find something worthwhile after all the time I spent cracking the encryption. And I did.
  • Amari: That is not an encouraging question. I suppose I'll have to make do with... whatever you can find.
  • Virgil: It's a good thing your survival and my humanity aren't at stake, otherwise I might be annoyed by your attitude.
  • MayorMcDonough: I know it's disappointing, but I have to think of all the people of Diamond City, not just the needs of one person.
  • Shaun: I assure you, I am completely sane. And entirely honest.
  • Shaun: I can understand how it might seem that way. It was... it is, something new. New discoveries are always welcome.
  • Shaun: "Father" is my unofficial title. It's what I've come to mean to the people of the Institute. Just as... As you mean to your son. To Shaun.
  • Shaun: Yes, that is what I propose. Is it so hard to imagine?
  • Desdemona: We've spent dozens of years and too many good agents' lives only to discover not a god damned thing. And now we have the answer thanks to you. Teleportation.
  • Geneva: If you're talking about a property that the city has seized, we only have one on the books. Mister Kellogg's old house.
  • Kellogg: Let the boy go. I'm only gonna tell you once!
  • Shaun: He's here, in the Institute. Closer than you think.
  • Preston: I don't either, but that tunnel Sturges found isn't going to work to bring in a whole assault force. The entrance is underwater.
  • Shaun: I was the most qualified for the position, obviously.
  • Sturges: Oh, I've been messing with it for quite a while. Nothing was really working until suddenly, it just did. You know how that goes.
  • Shaun: To you, that would certainly seem true. But to the Institute... It made all the sense in the world.
  • DoctorAmari: No. He must have gone there for a reason. He has to be alive. He... must have been prepared for it...
  • DoctorAmari: They want him dead, remember? And you killed the man they sent to do it. I think Virgil would have every reason to be grateful, or at least afraid.
  • Shaun: Because it is the simple truth, and I believe you know it too.
  • Nick: Look at me. I'm trash. They threw me in the junk pile ages ago. Just another discarded prototype. Didn't exactly leave me the house keys.
  • NickValentine: Let's give my pal a chance. I'll send out the signal. Now, you won't hear anything. Special frequency. But he'll be here.
  • VaultTecRep: Oh, it has all the amenities of the modern home, I assure you. Not to mention total protection from nuclear radiation and hostile mutants.
  • Shaun: We'd advanced the technology behind synths to a point where this struck me as an interesting variation.
  • Desdemona: Nosy keeps us and you alive. I'm all for one less Courser in the world but I need to know why you killed him.
  • NickValentine: All right. Let's get that bastard. This is your show from here on out, okay? You say jump, I'll say how high.
  • PaladinDanse: Then, if there's nothing left to discuss, I suggest you leave our compound immediately.
  • NickValentine: Just consider getting me out of that Vault a finder's fee.
  • Nick: All right. I'll see you in Diamond City. And don't worry. The night just got darker, but it can't last forever.
  • Ingram: Yeah? Well, I hope you're not forgetting that one button press turns this place into a crater.
  • Preston: You got it, General. We'll be standing by to teleport into the Institute on your signal.
  • Desdemona: Some things even Deacon can't do. Maybe.
  • Virgil: They're not invincible, so technically it's possible. Whether you're capable of it... I guess we'll find out.
  • Shaun: It helped that I had a natural affinity for science, but yes.
  • ProctorIngram: So, it looks like you're calling the shots around here now, huh?
  • MamaMurphy: It's what the Sight wants. Med-X is a painkiller. Strips away a lot of feeling and let's you float out into the mystery of it all.
  • NickValentine: You were on ice, huh? More importantly, you were underground. Sealed up. That's a lot of obstacles to get through just to take one person.
  • Shaun: For now, it's enough that you understand that the Institute really is devoted to the betterment of humanity.
  • MamaMurphy: Thought I told you before, kid. I saw you leave that ice box. I know your pain. This world, it's not yours, but here you are.
  • Desdemona: It's almost comforting to know some things never change.
  • DoctorAmari: If I were a priest, I would say forgiveness is a good thing.
  • Preston: Teleportation? For real? Wow. That would explain a lot about how the Institute manages to operate...
  • Virgil: Fine. Forget I asked. Doesn't matter anyway.
  • ProctorIngram: Chomping at the bit to get this thing built, huh? Me too.
  • Desdemona: Surprise should be total. And with so many synths rebelling, they should be disorganized.
  • Virgil: No, you're right. It doesn't really. The point is that you got it.
  • ProctorIngram: If I can keep that flying pile of junk in the air, I can work miracles.
  • Virgil: Don't bullshit me. More than one of them, and you wouldn't be standing here right now.
  • Sturges: Don't thank me yet. I think I got the gist of it, but it's going to take some time to work out the details of some of the hairier sections.
  • DoctorAmari: I didn't know Institute scientists could defect. This changes everything. He could answer all sorts of questions.
  • DoctorAmari: We delved into every memory we could find. This is the only thing I can think of that might get us more answers.
  • Kellogg: Your wife. That was... a regrettable accident. Still...
  • Nick: Hmm... I'm a Synth, so radiation isn't much of an issue for me, but an old suit of Power Armor might just be the guardian angel you're looking for.
  • Kellogg: Ha! That's the spirit. You know, you surprise me, I have to admit. I find myself actually kind of... liking you.
  • Desdemona: Violently, I'm afraid. It's essential you take it quickly. Every moment we wait, is another moment the Institute has to react.
  • Sturges: I think so. Best I can tell until we actually try to put it together.
  • NickValentine: Could have been a large-caliber revolver... Hmm... I'm starting to get a clearer picture of the kind of man our perp is...
  • Shaun: I'm afraid there can be no more time for indecision. Please, let me show you what we can accomplish together.
  • NickValentine: I honestly doubt it. They can barely organize themselves, let alone pull off something this complicated.
  • Virgil: I'll take that as a 'yes.' Can't say I'm too surprised.
  • ShaunChild: What? You're my father! Why else would I call you that?
  • Nick: Kellogg's brain. It's a long shot, but Doctor Amari just might be able to... get it jump-started. See what the old merc knew.
  • VaultTecRep: Oh of course, of course. This won't take but a moment. It's just a matter of verifying some information.
  • Amari: Just sit down over there. And... keep your fingers crossed.
  • Sturges: But... You didn't even talk to the kid. You're not going to leave him here, are you?
  • Nick: Yeah. Figures the Institute's only man on the outside wouldn't be the type to be taken alive...
  • Sturges: Well... whoever wrote this does seem to know what they're talking about. Could be a genius or totally insane. Guess we'll find out.
  • Sturges: I was hoping there'd be something worth all the time I spent cracking their encryption. Turns out there was.
  • TinkerTom: That one's not bad. Old radio stations got those. You know, communication equipment.
  • DoctorAmari: Yes, but it's important we review everything together. In case either of us missed anything.
  • Nick: Well, I've done jobs with less. Somehow "nice and simple" never makes it onto the menu in my world.
  • Virgil: I'm just saying, I can't guarantee it'll work.
  • NickValentine: Dammit, drop the doom-and-gloom act. We can work through this...
  • MamaMurphy: Oh lord... That's pure... Gonna be an interesting trip...
  • ShaunChild: What do you mean? Nobody told me, you just are.
  • Desdemona: So some mysterious stranger took out of a Courser. Alone. Something I'm not even sure the Railroad's best agent could do.
  • ActiveSpouse: Of course not, but... Look, we have Shaun to think of now.
  • PaladinDanse: By the authority of Elder Arthur Maxson, supreme commander of the Brotherhood of Steel.
  • Ingram: All right, but don't take too long. Maxson's itching to turn this place into dust.
  • MamaMurphy: Don't need the Sight to know that's a "maybe." Take your time. I'll be able to help you more once I can sit down.
  • VaultTecRep: Won't take but a moment! We do need to verify some information. To make sure you're cleared for entrance, in the unforeseen event of *ahem*...total atomic annihilation.
  • Maxson: On the contrary, this victory was but the beginning.
  • Nick: So, you need a little angel of vengeance, huh? Well, I don't usually go after blood money, but I guess I can make an exception.
  • Amari: That's exactly what I was thinking. If we're lucky, it should hook right in.
  • NickValentine: If Kellogg really is the one who kidnapped your son, then he's dangerous, but so are you.
  • MamaMurphy: *cough* Wow. Forgot how strong that stuff is. Whew. Okay... here it comes...
  • DoctorAmari: If you're going to go, be prepared. You'll need some way to combat the radiation there. It's called the Glowing Sea for a reason.
  • Sturges: Yeah, well, this computer stuff isn't really my forte. But I did finally crack the encryption, and there was gold in there after all.
  • Kellogg: Hmph. Pal, I'm just a puppet like you. My stage is a little bigger, that's all.
  • ShaunOld: You wouldn't... Please, no. I'll do whatever you want.
  • Shaun: Under the circumstances, I will forgive your... Vulgarity.
  • Virgil: And yet I have no idea who the hell you are.
  • MayorMcDonough: What? How dare you! I'm the mayor, for god's sakes, not some thug for hire.
  • VaultTecEscort: Oh, we'll be going over all that in orientation. Just a few medical items we have to get through first.
  • Sturges: Good. I think I've got a handle on this crazy contraption. At least as much as I can tell, until we actually try to build it.
  • Desdemona: We're a team. We fight, we bleed, we win as one.
  • ElderMaxson: The Institute preys on the weak to further their own ends.
  • Nick: Hey, chin up. I know the night just got darker, but it won't last forever.
  • ElderMaxson: I believe there's a bit more to the story than you're telling me, but based on your actions so far, I'm willing to take you at your word.
  • VaultTecRep: Why we're about you, sir! And helping secure your future. You see, Vault-Tec is the foremost builder of state-of-the-art underground fallout shelters.
  • VaultTecRep: Oh, it is. Believe you me. Now, you're already cleared for entrance, in the unforeseen event of *ahem*...total atomic annihilation.
  • Shaun: Because my entire life has taken place within these walls. I have studied, I have trained, I have devoted my life to the Institute.
  • Shaun: Right, wrong... irrelevant. It was necessary. The Institute believed humanity's future depended on it.
  • Nick: Guess that's for you to wonder and for me and Kellogg's memories to know for sure.
  • Virgil: Almost no one on the surface does, and that's on purpose. They like to keep it a secret.
  • Geneva: Well... you do have an honest face, and it's not like there's anything important in an abandoned house...
  • DoctorAmari: A prewar computer chip, maybe you could find someone else, but the Institute is far more advanced. They built the Synths for god's sake.
  • ProctorIngram: I'd scout out pre-war military bases for military-grade circuit boards.
  • TinkerTom: There's only so far my miraculous ingenuity can go, my friend. I got needs.
  • Desdemona: Without you, though, it would've been far worse.
  • Nick: You wanna know the truth? The sad thing is, I have no idea. None of us do. You'd think they'd cut me loose if I had something on 'em?
  • Sturges: You sure? ... okay. Your part is simple. Just step onto the platform.
  • Shaun: I've seen it myself. I know. That is why we are so committed to creating a better life for ourselves here.
  • Virgil: Because you want to get into the Institute, remember? They're your ticket in.
  • ProctorIngram: We'll know after we throw the switch.
  • Nick: A missing kid, huh? Well, you came to the right man. If not the right place.
  • Nick: You're talking to a synth. I AM a little out there. Just stay with me on this.
  • DoctorAmari: Good luck. I'm sorry what I have is so cryptic, but hopefully you can figure things out as you go.
  • DoctorAmari: Well, if you're cognizant enough to joke, I think we can safely say that you're out of critical condition.
  • Preston: There can't be too many former Institute scientists running around loose. I guess he'd be likely to know what he's talking about.
  • Kellogg: You can turn around right now. Go back the way you came.
  • DoctorAmari: And plunging into a dead man's memory wasn't crazy? You've already done the impossible, who's to say God won't let you do it again?
  • Desdemona: Those chips have more than just codes on them. Everything from how it's made to what it's made from tells us something about our enemy.
  • Shaun: Is it? After all the things you've seen and experienced in the Commonwealth? Think about it...
  • Desdemona: Make your preparations, but make them quickly. Tom could lose the signal any minute now.
  • ShaunOld: Spare me. You've spent time up there. You know as well as I that it's doomed.
  • Sturges: We're going to need something to translate your molecular and biological information for the transmission... old hospitals seem like the best bet.
  • ActiveSpouse: *baby giggles*
  • ActiveSpouse: *chuckle* Good answer.
  • ActiveSpouse: Fine. I'll do it myself. Stubborn...
  • ActiveSpouse: Hon, could you help me?
  • ActiveSpouse: I've got Shaun. Let's go!
  • ActiveSpouse: We love you too.
  • Amari: No. I will NOT.
  • Amari: What!?
  • NickValentine: You're right. This speculation is getting us off track. Let's focus on what you saw. What did these kidnappers look like?
  • Player Default: For you and Shaun, no price is too high.
  • NickValentine: A good question. Why your family in particular, and why an infant? Someone would be taking on all of his care, and a baby needs a lot of it.
  • Companion: Dogmeat find something?
  • Desdemona: With the Prydwen destroyed, the Brotherhood's survivors will leave the Commonwealth. On foot.
  • DoctorAmari: I don't know if there's any "right" way to feel, either...
  • Desdemona: All right, Tom. Make it happen.
  • Desdemona: First, take this.
  • Desdemona: Hardly.
  • Desdemona: I'd expect nothing less.
  • Desdemona: Not quite yet...
  • Desdemona: Or die trying.
  • Desdemona: Take this.
  • Desdemona: The moment of truth, then.
  • Desdemona: Then we're done.
  • Desdemona: Understood. Just don't take too long.
  • Desdemona: We don't have a lot of options.
  • Desdemona: We're not there yet.
  • Desdemona: What option did I have? Run and hide?
  • Desdemona: You can do this, I believe in you.
  • Desdemona: You have to try.
  • Desdemona: You're right.
  • Desdemona: You've more than earned that. But...
  • Desdemona: Your sarcasm is noted.
  • DoctorAmari: Good luck, and... be safe.
  • DoctorAmari: Hmm... let me think...
  • DoctorAmari: Uh... Yes... Anyway...
  • Nick: Look, I know it feels like a shot in the heart, but this case isn't closed. Not while I'm on it.
  • Shaun: I'm afraid things here are different from the lawless wastes above. A society cannot be maintained without order.
  • TinkerTom: I hear you. Once you do, check back with me. I'll fill you in on what I noodled out.
  • ElderMaxson: Well done, Knight.
  • Desdemona: Just listen for a moment. It's important.
  • Preston: They should have read their history. That hasn't ever turned out well.
  • Virgil: You know damn well I am. What're you doing here?
  • Geneva: A gift? For me? How generous...
  • Geneva: And if I could, why should I?
  • Geneva: Have a nice day.
  • Geneva: Like grist in the mill, honey. Good luck.
  • NickValentine: Yeah, I've heard it all before. "You're a freak", "You've got something to hide," blah blah blah.
  • ShaunChild: You're just going to leave me here... I can't believe it. I hate you!
  • Shaun: I know, and I am sorry. You have been through so much in such a short time.
  • Ingram: A problem? Hell yes I have a problem!
  • Ingram: But... I...
  • Ingram: Fine. Whatever you say... sir.
  • Ingram: You got it, Paladin.
  • DoctorAmari: I... suppose I can't fault you for that.
  • Jabberbot: Identity of assailant: Kellogg.
  • Kellogg: Almost. Everything's going to be fine.
  • Kellogg: Fine. I guess you've earned that much.
  • Kellogg: Right to it then, huh? Okay. Fine.
  • DoctorAmari: That's not surprising. All the synapses in your brain have just been pulled apart, connected to someone else, and then pulled back together.
  • Amari: Okay, but I need to keep Mister Valentine here until you're ready. I don't want him moving around with that implant still attached.
  • ProctorIngram: I haven't made sense of all of it yet, but I will by the time you get the first part built.
  • Desdemona: We have no idea when we'll pick up another signal. It may be a case of now or never. So, are you ready?
  • ProctorIngram: Try and locate old radar installations or radio transmitters. If you're lucky, a few of them might still have their dishes intact.
  • MamaMurphy: All right. I'll keep waiting.
  • MamaMurphy: Anytime you need it, kid. Up to you.
  • MamaMurphy: Damn right it is.
  • MamaMurphy: If you think so, kid.
  • MamaMurphy: It's always here if you need it.
  • MamaMurphy: Thank you.
  • Maxson: Absolutely, brother.
  • Maxson: Excellent.
  • Maxson: This victory was but the beginning.
  • Maxson: We're running short on time, Paladin.
  • Maxson: You truly have become one of us, brother.
  • MayorMcDonough: Oh. Very well then.
  • MrWhitfield: Can't this thing move faster!?
  • Amari: Possibly. There's no sign of decay, so the tech is probably preserving the tissue. Injecting some kind of compound to keep it stable.
  • Virgil: Fine. You know what, I don't even want to know. You wanna get yourself killed, that's your problem.
  • Shaun: The degree of trauma you're experiencing right now is understandable... Please, just try to relax. I know this is all difficult to take in.
  • Nick: A literal dead end, huh?
  • Nick: All right, wise guy. Keep your secrets.
  • Nick: All right. Let's move fast. Follow me.
  • Nick: All right. See you at the Den.
  • Nick: I'm sure you'll manage.
  • Nick: If you say so...
  • Nick: Let's get going.
  • Nick: See you in Diamond City.
  • Nick: She did? I should give her a raise.
  • Nick: Sounds good. You two stay out of trouble.
  • Nick: That's what I thought. He's dead.
  • Nick: Yeah, I'm fine. Why?
  • NickValentine: All right, all right. Calm down.
  • NickValentine: Yeah... Let me think...
  • NickValentine: All right. I'll send out the signal. You're not gonna hear it. Frequency is high, but he'll pick it up.
  • Preston: Even the Institute can't live entirely cut off from the rest of the world.
  • TinkerTom: This baby is bona fide Institute tech. Mind-blowing shit. It's going to work. Are you ready?
  • DoctorAmari: I know you're joking, but as a doctor, I feel obligated to remind you that unprotected radioactive exposure will only kill you. Dead. D-E-A-D.
  • PaladinDanse: I highly doubt that.
  • PaladinDanse: Outstanding.
  • PaladinDanse: Perhaps.
  • PaladinDanse: That's not going to happen.
  • Piper: All right.
  • Player Default: All right, you can come with me.
  • Player Default: I have my moments.
  • Player Default: We need to get to the Vault. Now!
  • Preston: Oh yeah? What are they for?
  • Preston: Oh. I'm sorry.
  • Preston: Yes, sir.
  • Preston: You're damn right they are.
  • Preston: You're right.
  • ProctorIngram: All right.
  • ProctorIngram: Damn right I do.
  • ProctorIngram: Good, let's move on then.
  • ProctorIngram: Hm. I wish I had your confidence.
  • ProctorIngram: Hmm. Let me see.
  • ProctorIngram: I hope so.
  • ProctorIngram: Molecular... what? No.
  • ProctorIngram: Not with a single frequency code.
  • ProctorIngram: Of course.
  • ProctorIngram: Sorry that I'm boring you.
  • ProctorIngram: Teleportation?
  • ProctorIngram: Woah, slow down there.
  • VaultTecRep: Oh, no worries, sir. No worries at all! I'm not selling anything. Not today.
  • Sturges: Okay. I've got plenty to keep me busy here, don't worry.
  • Shaun: Don't worry. You'll see.
  • Shaun: Excellent.
  • Shaun: Have you reconsidered your decision?
  • Shaun: Human-like synths. A great distinction.
  • Shaun: I am glad to hear that.
  • Shaun: I have, yes.
  • Shaun: I know this is a lot to take in.
  • Shaun: I know.
  • Shaun: I see. I am... disappointed.
  • Shaun: I'm glad we see it the same way.
  • Shaun: I'm sorry to hear that.
  • Shaun: I'm sorry. I really am.
  • Shaun: In a manner of speaking, yes.
  • Shaun: It really is.
  • Shaun: Oh, we've tried that.
  • Shaun: Thank you.
  • Shaun: Very well.
  • Shaun: Yes, it's true.
  • ShaunChild: Huh? Yes... I'm Shaun...
  • ShaunChild: I'm glad you were here to save me.
  • ShaunChild: No, no... I totally do!
  • ShaunChild: Okay, I'm ready! Let's go!
  • ShaunChild: Really? Do you mean it?
  • ShaunChild: What do you mean I'm not your son?!
  • ShaunChild: Who... Who are you?
  • ShaunChild: You're lying!
  • ShaunOld: Get out of here.
  • ShaunOld: It's hard to believe I'm related to you.
  • ShaunOld: It's too late to be sorry.
  • ShaunOld: My own father...
  • ShaunOld: Tell me, why would I ever consider that?
  • ShaunOld: That would be a kindness.
  • ShaunOld: Very well.
  • ShaunOld: Why would I ever consider helping you?
  • Soldier_Elevator: NOW! NOW! SEND IT DOWN NOW!
  • Sturges: Good deal.
  • Sturges: It's up to you, man.
  • Sturges: Okay, okay... man this is messed up...
  • Sturges: Okay.
  • Sturges: Sure thing. Let's see what you've got.
  • Sturges: Well... yeah, I think so.
  • Sturges: Yeah, sure.
  • Sturges: You got it!
  • MamaMurphy: Oh not this again. Kid. Listen to me. I'm old. Even older than you'd think. If the chems are gonna kill me, then I say I've had a good run.
  • Shaun: I forget that it's been such a short time for you.
  • Virgil: Before I had to escape, I was working on a serum that would serve as a cure for my.... condition.
  • SkinnyMalone: You're...you're right. Things have gone nothin' but south since she walked into my life.
  • DoctorAmari: That's right. He was a human being just like the rest of us, and he had reasons for being what he was, however cruel.
  • TinkerTom: Don't have to tell me twice!
  • TinkerTom: Hey, tell that to Carrington, though.
  • TinkerTom: I don't doubt it for a minute.
  • TinkerTom: I won't know until I get a look see.
  • TinkerTom: Okay, just doesn't seem right...
  • TinkerTom: Okay, okay... geez.
  • TinkerTom: Uhh, what?
  • TinkerTom: Yeah, the sooner the better.
  • TinkerTom: Yeah, yeah, all right, all right.
  • NickValentine: Some kind of security setting strips or blocks out those memories. And it's not just me.
  • PlayerTV: But we seem to have lost contact with our affiliate stations...
  • TinkerTom: Every last one of your atoms and molecules needs to be categorized then translated into a pure digital feed.
  • Shaun: I've already told you how I came to be here. I don't know what further proof I could offer that would convince you.
  • Preston: Yes, I think we do, now. Enough to fight our way to the reactor, which is all we need.
  • V111BabyShaunMarker: *Shaun cries*
  • VaultTecRep: Nice to find you sir!
  • VaultTecRep: Oh, *nervous cough* you do...
  • VaultTecRep: Oh, me too! You have no idea...
  • VaultTecRep: So you are, so you are.
  • VaultTecRep: Splendid, splendid! Now let's see...
  • VaultTecRep: Splendid, splendid. Let's get to it.
  • Virgil: All right.
  • Virgil: Another Institute secret.
  • Virgil: Because I say it matters. Pay attention.
  • Virgil: Can I... are you joking?
  • Virgil: Did you...
  • Virgil: How could you possibly know that?
  • Virgil: How do you know that?
  • Virgil: How the hell do you know any of that?!
  • Virgil: I need some assurance from you. Come on.
  • Virgil: I'm sorry, what?
  • Virgil: It's not whining if...wait, what?
  • Virgil: Listen up.
  • Virgil: Of course it is.
  • Virgil: Oh god, those kooks?
  • Virgil: Oh, no.
  • Virgil: Oh.
  • Virgil: Oh. Oh no.
  • Virgil: Right.
  • Virgil: Suppose I shouldn't be surprised.
  • Virgil: That so? Then talk, fast.
  • Virgil: The Institute?
  • Virgil: Wait, what? Are you serious?
  • Virgil: What?
  • Virgil: You know about the escape? But how?!
  • Virgil: You're off to a great start with that.
  • Nick: I woke up in a junk pile ages ago. Just another discarded prototype. The Institute hasn't come calling since. I'm sorry.
  • Kellogg: Take you to him? Ha ha ha ha ha. Like I could, even if I wanted to. Don't you get it? Your son, he's in a place nobody can reach.
  • Shaun: That's a shame. I had hoped for so much more.
  • Nick: Good luck out there. You know where to find me.
  • Preston: Yeah, well, at least he found something. I was afraid it was going to turn out to be a dead end.
  • Sturges: No, I just... man, forget it. We gotta get out of here.
  • Z1: Good.
  • Z1: Is it time?
  • Z1: Please, we must act quickly.
  • Z1: Yes. Shall we proceed?
  • NickValentine: Hell of an animal. Doesn't really have an owner, but he's always ready to help out when he's needed.
  • DoctorAmari: Yes. Their greatest secret has finally been revealed. But that only leads to more questions. How does it work? Where do we go next?
  • Preston: That's right. I figure you can use that tunnel he found to get in and secure their teleporter, then use it to bring in the rest of our troops.
  • Shaun: Would have preferred that I turned him loose on the Commonwealth? At least keeping him on a short leash kept the collateral damage to a minimum.
  • MayorMcDonough: *chuckle* Well, we don't have EVERY key in the city. Where would we put them all? Ha ha ha.
  • NickValentine: High-end mercenaries. No job too brutal. They're in the running as likely suspects, but they wouldn't be the ones pulling the strings.
  • Desdemona: That's not your job. We've got people assigned to maintain control of the Relay room and teleport synths out non-stop.
  • Shaun: Killed, yes. Murdered? I'm not so sure about that. Still... I do regret never having known her.
  • ActiveSpouse: Spin the mobile a bit. He loves that.
  • Virgil: Well, well... Not many know about it. Pretty closely guarded secret. You've certainly done your homework.
  • VaultTecSuitGiver: Just follow the doctor, here. He'll show you where to go.
  • DoctorAmari: Don't be alarmed, but I honestly don't know what to look for. As I said before, this is uncharted territory.
  • Nick: I'll let her give you her life story in person. Let's stay focused.
  • Preston: We'll be standing by for you to teleport us into the Institute.
  • Nick: You really don't know? I'm a synth. Synthetic man. All the parts, minus a few red blood cells.
  • MayorMcDonough: Oh, of course... I-I will do everything in my power to help you overcome this horrible personal tragedy.
  • Virgil: I'll bet you have. It's a closely guarded secret, kept hidden from everyone above ground.
  • Desdemona: Institute tech is light years beyond what we have. And a Courser Chip is top of the line.
  • Desdemona: So someone who looks just like you took out a Courser.
  • SkinnyMalone: Hey, I'm the one in charge here. You got something to say? Say it to me.
  • NickValentine: If you need me, just come knocking. If not, then, the next time I see you, I hope it's with your son, safe and sound.
  • Amari: Normally we only allow our clients to experience their own memories. Now what's this all about?
  • VaultTecRep: Ha ha! That's the spirit. Now let's see...
  • TinkerTom: I've done a whole lot more with a whole lot less, my friend.
  • Shaun: People are always frightened by what they don't understand.
  • Shaun: Yes. Yes you could. And I would be powerless to stop you.
  • MamaMurphy: Ha ha. That's good. Humor's a good way to cope. 'Cause this world ain't yours is it? I saw you leave that ice box.
  • VaultTecRep: Wonderful! That's... everything... Just gonna walk this over to the Vault! Congratulations on being prepared for the future!
  • NickValentine: Hmm... not much to go on, but a tough and commanding voice can get someone pretty far in the violence business...
  • Piper: Trying to find out why the Mayor happens to be meeting with the same suspicious looking courier every other week.
  • Player Default: *Sigh* You're right. Let's get it over with.
  • Maxson: Whether you were seeking vengeance or serving the Brotherhood, the end result is the same.
  • MayorMcDonough: I see. Well, whatever reasons you have, I take my citizens' privacy very seriously. Even after they've left.
  • TinkerTom: Okay, I guess, but we're kind of on the clock here.
  • ShaunChild: Then don't leave me here to die! Take me with you, please!
  • SkinnyMalone: You and Nick shot all of my crew and you expect to just...Agh! All right, you're lucky I still owe him for that time back in the Quarry.
  • Sturges: Well, sorry, boss, I was a bit busy decrypting the Institute's data and getting ready to blow up a fusion reactor I'd never seen.
  • Virgil: Divisions within the Institute. Specialized groups working on various projects. It'll make sense later.
  • Ingram: Wait a second... you haven't even talked to the kid. You're not just going to leave him here are you?
  • Desdemona: In this single hour, we could rescue more synths than we have in our entire history. Make every moment count.
  • Sturges: I was just asking. No need for the snide remarks.
  • Shaun: I have no doubt. I'm afraid I have little experience with those emotions, having lived my life within the Institute.
  • Desdemona: When you're ready, let us know. The information on that chip could save a lot of lives.
  • ElderMaxson: I believe you'd be better served showing these plans to Proctor Ingram.
  • TinkerTom: And I filled in the blanks on the blueprints. We can actually build this crazy thing.
  • Piper: Supposedly, they help runaway Synths escape the Institute. But they're secretive. Ultra-paranoid.
  • UniformEscort: We're doing everything we can, now keep moving!
  • Shaun: Yes, but... not the Shaun you were looking for. In some ways, the synth is far closer to what you expected.
  • DoctorAmari: Yes. You can't tell me that bearing witness to that man's life didn't affect you.
  • SkinnyMalone: *chuckle* This troublemaker here used to be a real headache back in the day. Before we got kicked out of the old neighborhood.
  • Sturges: Hey, I've got to do something to keep busy while you're out saving the world.
  • VaultTecRep: Isn't it? Just look at the sky out there! *clears throat*
  • Nick: Look, I know you want your case solved as quickly as possible, but an investigation needs time. We can't risk overlooking the details.
  • ShaunChild: Father... What's going on? What's happening?
  • MamaMurphy: Well, ain't like I'm going anywhere. The Sight will be here when you need it.
  • ElderMaxson: The method is useless without the means to make it work.
  • ProctorIngram: It might look like a bunch of children's doodles to you, but trust me, there's a method to this madness.
  • DoctorAmari: There are chemical compounds. Rad-X, RadAway. You'd need as much as you could carry. Maybe more.
  • Amari: Well you better be soon. I doubt that brain is being properly preserved. Time is against us.
  • ProctorIngram: According to Virgil's notes, it takes four components to complete the Signal Interceptor.
  • ShaunOld: Yes, of course. But that will end soon enough, won't it? All thanks to you...
  • Virgil: Do you have any idea what that man has done? What the Institute pays him to do? It's all off the books stuff.
  • Shaun: Yes, I am. It would benefit us both to work together.
  • NickValentine: Well, they're the boogeyman of the Commonwealth. Something goes wrong, everyone blames them.
  • Shaun: It's a synth, not a human being. A simulacrum. Try to be more open-minded.
  • Piper: The Brotherhood of Steel doesn't do subtle. From what I've heard, they take whatever they want. Especially if it's high-tech.
  • Kellogg: Heh. Haven't you been paying attention? You don't find the Institute. The Institute finds you.
  • NickValentine: Hmm... Guess it's time to call in a favor. I know a specialist. He's never in one place for long, but he'll show up if I ask.
  • Desdemona: That's what the report says. Hard to believe. I'm all for one less Courser in the world, but the conventional wisdom is that you run from them rather than engage them.
  • Shaun: I realize that. It's why I'm trying to help you.
  • Sturges: Oh, man, I wish. I was born a couple of centuries too late, I guess.
  • MamaMurphy: Like a little kick yourself, huh? This'll do. Now let me ride the high to where the Sight wants to take me.
  • MamaMurphy: Ah, that's okay. But I can't really concentrate enough these days unless I'm comfortable. So if you need the Sight again, I'm gonna need that chair.
  • Virgil: There's no question it's difficult to believe.
  • NickValentine: No idea, but we got a missing kid on the line. That's worth the risk.
  • ProctorIngram: Hey, you're the one that's going to be standing on the thing. If it blows up, it's going to hurt you a lot more than it'll hurt me.
  • TinkerTom: No worries. Gives me more time to work the blueprints.
  • TinkerTom: Oh yeah, man. I squared away the science with the engineering. We should be in business. But I want to run the numbers again just to be sure.
  • ElderMaxson: An intriguing proposal that I'll have to seriously consider.
  • NickValentine: Your faith in me is really starting to become inspiring.
  • ProctorIngram: That's fine. It's going to take me a while to figure out how to make this crazy contraption work.
  • ElderMaxson: So, it appears we share a common goal.
  • Shaun: I know you have been through so much. I'm pleased to see it has not impaired your judgment.
  • Shaun: Ah, levity. Excellent. A sure sign that you adapt quickly to stressful environments.
  • Shaun: I'm glad you're willing to accept the truth. It's quite encouraging.
  • Virgil: For the record, I haven't made any promises.
  • Virgil: Then I'm afraid I can't do anything for you.
  • MobsterGirl: I... I... You're right! What am I doing? I've gotten all mixed up!
  • Virgil: Find people to help if you need to, because this is it. It's the only way you're getting in, and you have to get in. For both of us.
  • MamaMurphy: They're good. More of a chem for scientists and tech types. But who's to say ole' Mama Murphy ain't a closet genius? He he he.
  • TinkerTom: I just don't think we should be leaving anyone behind. It's not what we came here for.
  • Sturges: I wish we could, be we've only got the one frequency code.
  • Shaun: You don't see the connection? Let me try to explain.
  • Sturges: Thanks, boss. I wish there was a better way, but if there is, it's not in this data.
  • Nick: No. I skipped that part of the orientation film while they were busy pulling me apart and putting me back together again.
  • MamaMurphy: Let me tell you a story, kid. Once, there was beautiful young girl, with a special power. Used to get in all kinds of crazy adventures.
  • Sturges: That's okay, I'll need time to figure out how to make everything work together.
  • Virgil: Another secret of the Institute. Trust me, it's good that you haven't found out the hard way.
  • Sturges: Okay, but... I don't think we ought to hang around here any longer than we have to.
  • ShaunOld: If I have your word that you'll protect them...
  • ProctorIngram: According to Maxson, this is priority one... so quit fooling around and build it already.
  • Geneva: You do seem like a sweet guy. *sigh* All right. I'm just going to leave this key on my desk and "forget" I put it there.
  • Sturges: Don't worry, we'll figure it out. No matter how crazy the theory, in the end it all comes down to engineering.
  • Shaun: Yes, it's pushed our technology to the limit. We've gained some valuable insights in terms of both hardware and software.
  • Shaun: Ours was a unique situation. Vault-Tec records were easily accessible to the Institute, and they were looking for as young a specimen as possible.
  • VaultTecRep: Yes! Right! Just like insurance. So let's get to it.
  • Virgil: Not surprising. They don't come out often, and when they do, few see them.
  • Shaun: That's... a difficult question. I suppose it depends on how closely we've managed to mimic human behavior and emotions.
  • MamaMurphy: Surprised a frail thing like me wants a muscle chem? What if I told you I used to pack a pair of arms thicker than both your fists put together?
  • VaultTecEscort: All set? Just step inside and put on your Vault suit!
  • MamaMurphy: Easy there, kid... You win. Ole' Mama Murphy will get clean. Just put away the scary eyes.
  • Geneva: Mister Kellogg's residence? He left town a while ago. We foreclosed on the property and locked it up.
  • Shaun: You mean the child? It's a fascinating project, really. There are issues to be solved, of course, but we've made remarkable progress.
  • VaultTecRep: Why nothing less than your entire future! If you haven't noticed, sir, this country has gone to heck in a hand basket.
  • Sturges: We should be able to scavenge what we need from old communication equipment - radio stations, radar sites, that kind of thing.
  • Shaun: I don't mean any of this to hurt you. I'm just... I'm trying to help you. Help us.
  • Amari: Yes, the connections appear to be stable. Hopefully, it'll be as simple as unplugging the implant once we're done.
  • Nick: Let's see... I guess we're going to need a piece of Kellogg's brain. Enough gray matter to bring to Amari and find out if this is going to work...
  • ActiveSpouse: Hey, it's peace of mind. That's worth a little paperwork, right?
  • Nick: It's in Goodneighbor. A little slice of trouble Northeast a ways.
  • MayorMcDonough: Security is part of what keeps Diamond City above the petty squabbles and misfortunes of the Commonwealth. I can't betray that for anything.
  • Virgil: My help? With what? How did you even find me, anyway?
  • Geneva: Why is finding this key so important to you, honey?
  • VaultTecEscort: Oh you're going to love it here. This is one of our most advanced facilities. Not that the others aren't great, mind you...
  • NickValentine: Trust me, Amari's hands are the safest place a brain can be.
  • DoctorAmari: The memory gave us a starting point. The Glowing Sea. But... that can't be right. Trying to survive there is... unthinkable.
  • SkinnyMalone: How the hell did you know about that?
  • DoctorAmari: That must be it! He's using the radiation in the Glowing Sea like a shield or a... cloak... a way to throw them off and be at an advantage.
  • Virgil: No, but you realize how critical this is? For both of us?
  • ElderMaxson: I am, but I need you to view this from my perspective.
  • DoctorAmari: You're right! A rogue Institute scientist could answer all kinds of questions.
  • DoctorAmari: That's good, but I want you to keep monitoring yourself. We have to be sure there's no long-term damage.
  • MamaMurphy: Oooh... It just makes everything feel good, don't it? I'm starting to see clearly...
  • Desdemona: *laugh* Take all the time you need. We'll be waiting.
  • Shaun: I'm so sorry. I wish that things were different.
  • ElderMaxson: Don't allow the allure of their isolation to cloud your judgment.
  • Desdemona: Hopefully we survive the main course, then. First, you have take this.
  • Sturges: Yeah, I know. But there isn't any other way in.
  • Shaun: Why would I lie? What would I have to gain from it? I assure you, this is the truth.
  • Nick: He had to have a way in and out. But... am I right in thinking he's not available for a chin wag?
  • Shaun: Well, that's good to hear. All right, then...
  • Amari: Let me think... The encryption is too strong for a single mind. But... what if we used two?
  • Maxson: You'll be remembered for this moment, Paladin.
  • Virgil: If you're telling the truth, then you must understand my skepticism.
  • DoctorAmari: Yes... well... that's not going to help you here. But I'm sure someone with your... creativity will be able to figure it out.
  • DoctorAmari: The memory said the Institute tracked him to the Glowing Sea, but that seems crazy. A mad man would think twice about going there.
  • ShaunChild: I don't know you! Go away! Father! Father, help me! There's someone here! Help me!
  • ProctorIngram: Fine, wouldn't kill me to crunch the numbers a few more times anyway.
  • ShaunOld: If that's what you'll tell yourself so you can sleep at night, so be it. Now go. Leave me.
  • Sturges: We're going to need a military-grade circuit board. Check out prewar army bases.
  • Desdemona: You're going to have to sell them a lie. It's best to stick as close to the truth as possible.
  • Amari: We plug the brain implant into Mister Valentine. Assuming he's... willing to take on the risks.
  • Z1: The longer we delay, the greater the chance the SRB will notice something's amiss.
  • MamaMurphy: No. But don't worry. *cough* Old Mama Murphy can handle a little pre-war, military-grade combat stim.
  • Nick: Did I? Amari said there might be some "mnemonic impressions" left over...
  • Shaun: Just... give it time. Give the Institute a chance.
  • Shaun: I see. Well, as I've said, you may see yourself out.
  • NickValentine: So we're talking a small team. Professionals. The kind that know to keep their lips tight when they're on the job. Not sure what "the backup" means though...
  • Shaun: After what he's done... I'm surprised to hear you say that.
  • Virgil: Forgive me for questioning whether you might survive against a Courser. Still, suppose I should've expected it.
  • DoctorAmari: This is serious! No one outside the Institute could dream of making that kind of technology.
  • Preston: Damn... that's some bad business, even for them.
  • MamaMurphy: You did good. Now let me ride the high to where the Sight wants to take me.
  • ShaunOld: But the Brotherhood of Steel... They can?
  • MamaMurphy: Ah, but the distant past ain't so distant for you. I saw you leave that ice box. This whole world is like some bad dream you can't wake up from, isn't it?
  • MamaMurphy: The Sight's been real exhausting lately. Got aches and pains, even when I'm lying down.
  • Piper: You know, that's the kind of talk I hear right before a big story of mine goes into print... I always find out. Sooner or later.
  • Sturges: Oh, right. I found the code that should open it, so all you have to do is survive the trip.
  • DoctorAmari: I can't contact them directly. They usually come to me, when they have a synth that's escaped the Institute and wants new memories.
  • DoctorAmari: They help synths escape the Institute. I don't know who they all are. Usually, an agent of theirs just shows up with someone who needs new memories.
  • Nick: Yeah, but I'm guessing he wasn't the "surrender and talk" type, was he?
  • Nick: Stay with me on this. We... get a piece of Kellogg's gray matter and take it to Amari. Then we see if she's got the goods to pull this off.
  • Kellogg: Let him go. Your time's done. Your son is exactly where he belongs.
  • TinkerTom: We need some high tech shit for that. A military-grade circuit board.
  • Maxson: It means we still have a long road ahead if we're to ensure the safety of the Commonwealth and her people.
  • Sturges: Man, that's crazy. Ain't no limit to how low they'll sink!
  • NickValentine: Hopefully not forever. I want to see you and your kid safe-and-sound when you get back.
  • Shaun: I wish there were something to say. I know this isn't what you wanted. But it's the only truth I can offer you.
  • Virgil: It does, doesn't it? If there were another way, I'd suggest it. Believe me.
  • ElderMaxson: Indeed. The technology the Institute has at their disposal is frightening at best.
  • Shaun: No, perhaps not. But in many ways, he matches what you've been searching for all this time.
  • ShaunOld: Don't pretend to care now. You had your chance to help me, and cast me aside instead.
  • ShaunChild: I'm not a baby! I'm old enough to take care of myself.
  • Jabberbot: Error: Operator deceased. Threat level Omega. He killed us.
  • Sturges: Okay, but we don't have too many minutes to spare here.
  • ProctorIngram: Yeah, I wouldn't be eager to jump onto this contraption either.
  • Geneva: You can, but I'll warn you. He's not going to like you bringing that reporter into his office. You might want to ask her to wait outside.
  • Nick: He's not gone. It's a long shot, but it's the only one we got.
  • DoctorAmari: I'm afraid so. The Railroad is understandably paranoid. They're fighting the Institute, after all. You'll have to figure it out as you go.
  • Shaun: Ah, now that's the question, isn't it? "Why me?"
  • Geneva: He's set aside time to talk to petitioners all day. Best of luck.
  • Sturges: Yeah, well, it seems the Institute isn't quite as self-contained as they'd like everyone to believe.
  • Maxson: I'm pleased that you're anxious to continue your service for the Brotherhood.
  • Virgil: Well, I suppose your enthusiasm counts for something.
  • Desdemona: Do your best and hold out as long as you can. We can't ask for anything more.
  • Nick: Cybernetics, huh? We may have just won the lottery.
  • Amari: What's this? This isn't a brain! This is...wait...
  • Virgil: Yeah, yeah. I told you I did the best I could.
  • ShaunChild: I promise I won't be too much trouble. I'll stay out of your way and you won't even have to take care of me.
  • Kellogg: God, you're persistent. I give you credit. It's the way a father should act. The way I'd be acting if I were in your place, I like to think. Even if it is useless.
  • NickValentine: Maybe some kind of improvised armor? Lot of hired guns do that to look tough.
  • ShaunChild: Good. For a second, I thought you forgot who I was.
  • ShaunChild: But you can't just leave me here! I don't want to die!
  • NickValentine: Well, unless you got a map to Kellogg in your pocket, this is the best we got.
  • NickValentine: You can thank me when we've found your son. All right. Let's do this.
  • TinkerTom: All right, but Dez wants this done ASAP. If this can get us into the Institute, it'll be a real game changer.
  • ProctorIngram: Old hospitals might have the equipment to translate your molecular information for transmission. Best lead I can think of right now.
  • MamaMurphy: It's a little inhaler that packs a big kick. They say it makes you move faster, but at my age, it's more of a quick rush.
  • NickValentine: Big, green, muscles on muscles. In other words, hard to miss. I think we can safely rule them out.
  • Shaun: I promised answers, and answers you shall have.
  • MamaMurphy: Sorry. I know to you it's private, but for me I can see it plain as day. You leaving that ice box. Waking up in a world that's not yours.
  • Shaun: Yes, I'm sure it was. Sadly the world has become a brutal, unforgiving place.
  • Sturges: Sorry, boss. I've been over and over that data. It's this or nothing.
  • Sturges: All right, all right... but you're one mean customer, you know that?
  • TinkerTom: Ohhh... wow, did not see that coming. Still, though... we can't leave him.
  • Jabberbot: Signature confirmed. Assailant: Kellogg. Known associate....
  • ActiveSpouse: You're gonna knock 'em dead at the Veteran's Hall tonight, hon.
  • NickValentine: Nice to know that even when I'm about to have a foreign object shoved into my noggin', you find new, horrible ways to laugh at my expense.
  • Sturges: Oh, come on... Have I ever let you down? You've got my word that it's all set up proper. Now are we going, or are we gonna stand here and jaw more?
  • Desdemona: This isn't a negotiation. This is a demand.
  • ShaunOld: You've made that impossible. The Commonwealth can have only one fate now.
  • Sturges: Okay, okay. But you've got to admit, it isn't every day somebody asks me to build them a teleport hijacker.
  • Desdemona: I'm confident you can find a way to do both. I leave it to your discretion.
  • DoctorAmari: The name says it all. Radiation. So much that nothing there could possibly live. Nothing... pleasant...
  • Jabberbot: Critical systems non-functional. Hostile human... too powerful.
  • Nick: Yeah, you know the way? Southwest a few blocks. My office is in the back alleys, with the neon heart sign out front.
  • NickValentine: Worked with him a few times, but he only likes certain people. Got a feeling you'll get on, though.
  • ShaunChild: But you are! Nobody told me, I just know it!
  • ShaunOld: And you've decided this for yourself? Or has it been fed to you by the corrupt societies above ground?
  • Amari: Mister Valentine is an older generation synth. But, Institute technology being what it is... The brain implant could fit him.
  • NickValentine: Wait. It couldn't be... You didn't hear the name "Kellogg" at all, did you?
  • ProctorIngram: You still have a lot more to do. Better get back to work.
  • ShaunOld: Well at least there's no need for guessing games now.
  • Nick: Darla's a runaway. Her father wanted me to bring her back home. Turns out she skipped town to be with my old pal, Skinny Malone. Mob boss.
  • MobsterGirl: Wow you're... you're a bad boy, ain't ya?
  • Shaun: Believe me, I am well aware of the atrocities Kellogg committed. I suspect there are many more we'll never know of.
  • ShaunOld: This isn't some fairy tale, father. There's no saving me. I'm dying, and you're going to destroy everything I've ever loved.
  • Virgil: Yes, if built correctly. And please get it right. You have to make it in there, for both our sakes.
  • Shaun: Yes, well... the world is not what it used to be.
  • Piper: You know that group you rescued in Concord? Far as I know, they're the last Minutemen left in the Commonwealth.
  • ElderMaxson: I know you're disappointed, but I need you to view this from my perspective.
  • Amari: The implant is encoding all the mnemonic activity in the hippocampus. Think of it like... computer encryption. And we don't have the password.
  • PaladinDanse: And I'm not willing to take the word of a stranger bearing gifts.
  • ShaunOld: You're sorry? You can't be that sorry, if you're here going through with it.
  • Virgil: Better you than me. Face like this, I'm not going to make too many friends.
  • ActiveSpouse: I know, but... it's like insurance. Just in case. For Shaun, you know?
  • Kellogg: What's the cliche? "So close, but yet so far away?" That's Shaun.
  • Shaun: After what he did to you? I'm shocked you would be so generous.
  • Piper: Really? You came to the mayor's office to see the mayor? Who'd have thought?
  • Sturges: That's cool, I'll keep tuning this baby. Although we won't know if it's going to work until we actually try it.
  • Kellogg: Yes, you have. And believe it or not... I'm actually kind of sorry you wasted your time.
  • Amari: I have no clue, but considering we only have a single piece of the medial temporal lobe, and not the whole brain, I doubt it'll be... cohesive.
  • ProctorIngram: All right, tough guy. Let me take a look.
  • Maxson: I've never been more certain about anything in my life.
  • Nick: Told you. I'm a detective. Look, I know the skin and the metal parts ain't comforting, but it's not important right now.
  • ShaunOld: Along with the rest of the Commonwealth. You've seen to that.
  • Shaun: I understand. You've been through quite a lot.
  • Sturges: Seriously? I didn't know you could be an ex-Institute anything and still be breathing.
  • PaladinDanse: Until I'm certain of your intentions, I'm not willing to discuss that right now.
  • Piper: Interesting. That's the guy who bought the house in the abandoned West Stands. Had that kid...
  • Preston: Okay, General. If you think it will really work, then you should see if Sturges can make heads or tails of those plans.
  • ShaunOld: Perhaps I didn't think to count you among them.
  • ShaunChild: I promise I won't get in your way, and I can take care of myself.
  • Shaun: I know, I know. You've gone to such lengths to find him.
  • Desdemona: It seems we taught you the lesson about operational security too well. That's a smart call, agent. But you still need to show these plans to Tinker Tom so we know how we can help you.
  • VaultTecRep: Of course. Of course! Minus your robot, naturally. In fact, you're already cleared for entrance. It's just a matter of verifying some information.
  • ShaunOld: In truth, no. I'm dying anyway. So... do what you will.
  • Desdemona: You're one of a kind, you know that, right? So here's the plan.
  • Ingram: Are you kidding me? The Institute made synths that look like children?
  • Maxson: Your reward rests in the hearts and the minds of the people you've saved.
  • DoctorAmari: I'm not sure, but I remember there was a prewar landmark with a similar name. I'd start there.
  • ElderMaxson: I meant every word that I said, but I need you to view this from my perspective.
  • NickValentine: As far as I know. Never seen any other synth like myself.
  • MayorMcDonough: Did he now? Some investigation I assume? You two aren't trying to get me in hot water now, are you? Ha ha ha.
  • Nick: Yeah, but something tells me he's not gonna drop by for a chat and coffee...
  • Nick: Really? Well, I'm glad those ways included shooting down mobsters. Wasn't looking forward to haunting that place.
  • MamaMurphy: Ah, that's it. I can feel the Sight opening up...
  • ElderMaxson: The Institute will stop at nothing to further their own ends.
  • Shaun: You've seen the Commonwealth. You must have some idea of how this world works.
  • Preston: No, it's too late for that. They've shown that there's no way for us to coexist peacefully. If it's them or us - I choose us.
  • Nick: I told you, I'm fine. But I get it. Going through Kellogg's brain was a doozy for both of us.
  • Desdemona: Patriot devised a method to communicate with us one-way.
  • Shaun: I'm not justifying what they did, just explaining.
  • Virgil: Back in the Institute is the last place I want to be. Now listen up.
  • TinkerTom: Wait, what? But... the kid. You're not even going to talk to him? Sure he's Institute, but you can't just leave him...
  • ElderMaxson: I appreciate your enthusiasm, but I need you to view this from my perspective.
  • Nick: Trust me, that dame knows a lot more than she lets on. And she lets on a lot.
  • Shaun: Why? Because of the reputation of the Institute?
  • Shaun: Then perhaps you already understand why it was necessary for the Institute to acquire me.
  • Jabberbot: Error. System corrupt. I can't feel my legs.
  • Nick: Been one heck of a ride so far. Let's see where it takes us next.
  • ActiveSpouse: Listen, after breakfast, I was thinking we could head to the park for a bit. Weather should hold up.
  • NickValentine: That's right. A Commonwealth mutt like him can track a man's scent for miles.
  • ActiveSpouse: Absolutely. Now get ready and stop hogging the mirror...
  • MamaMurphy: All right, kid. You got me. If me hanging around for a little longer is worth that much to ya, then I'll go clean. No more chems. No more Sight.
  • ShaunOld: Yes, you tell yourself that. Now go. Leave me.
  • Sturges: Let me break it down for you. There's... four main parts to this thing.
  • Virgil: Good, good. Because you've gotta make it in there. For both our sakes.
  • Ingram: Don't worry, I've got this thing all figured out. Now, are you ready to get out of here or not?
  • Desdemona: Little minds cling to their petty prejudices no matter what the evidence says.
