| response | - Hello?
- Take your time.
- You all right?
- Feel free to come back anytime.
- Hey, no rush.
- {Nervous} Look, if you ask me, Valentine is a good guy. Saved a lot of lives. But other people think he's just going to bring the Institute's attention.
- No problem.
- All right.
- It all depends on where and what you need to protect.
- {barking sales pitches in the marketplace to a crowd of about half a dozen people} Don't be caught dead! Protection from Commonwealth Weaponry.
- {Nervous} So, you understand? I can't just stick my foot into other people's business. Sorry, but what if the Institute is involved?
- Small semi-automatic with a good holster is what you're looking for.
- {store is closed and you're relaxing around town} You have kids? My daughter's shy, but oh lord, she goes through books like mad.
- {barking sales pitches in the marketplace to a crowd of about half a dozen people} We got small arms, long arms, ammunition!
- If you're looking to keep your load light, we can shoot the breeze about the old-fashioned pistol, or anything else you need.
- I can sell you a properly machined grip at a discount, and you can install it yourself.
- {Puzzled} Mistaken, huh? Okay. Whatever. Well, my name's Arturo, and I sell protection if you're here to buy.
- {feeling guilty about not helping, changing your mind, but still nervous talking about it / Depressed} Nah, look, put the money away. I'll... I'll help you.
- {Concerned} Yeah, well, good luck. Hope you find your kid.
- {a man has another man at gunpoint, you're in the crowd watching / Nervous} Keep your head down. There's trouble...
- {Mayor McDonough revealed to be a Synth and is dead or gone / Depressed} You know, I sold McDonough that gun he had. If I had known what he was... *sigh*...
- {Nervous} I said, they're machines that look like humans. Some of them you can't even tell the difference.
- {store is closed and you're relaxing around town} Hey there. You should stop by my stall in the morning. Commonwealth Weaponry.
- Another time then.
- Anyway, good luck finding your kid.
- {store is closed and you're relaxing around town} I've been dealing guns all my life. So did my dad. One day, my daughter's gonna pick up the mantle.
- {Irritated} It was just a friendly warning. Some of us live here, okay?
- Everything I got will keep you safe.
- Got some great stuff if you're interested.
- I'll be here if you need me.
- {generic "coming from another conversation and getting back to business" line} Hey, why don't we get back to talking weapons?
- {barking sales pitches in the marketplace to a crowd of about half a dozen people} Need some custom hardware? We got a free workbench for all your modifications. Scopes, clip sizes, barrels.
- The alley behind the market. There's a detective agency. Valentine's. You'll see the signs.
- Sure. Let me know.
- Sure. No pressure.
- If you're thinking safety, a long-range rifle let's you stay in cover and out of sight. But you might want a secondary weapon, for flexibility.
- Well, we're always here.
- Who's talking about a new gun?
- {barking sales pitches in the marketplace to a crowd of about half a dozen people} Protection for sale! Hand-tooled pieces!
- Take the home, for example. A shotgun's great for its intimidation factor. Robbers might run off without you even needing to fire.
- You need protection. Everyone does.
- You take care.
- We can talk guns, or maybe you wanna consider something more up close and personal?
- {Nervous} And if that wasn't bad enough, the ones that do look like robots just go around killing whole towns off. Collecting what's left for God knows what.
- {player asks about finding a missing child, you're suddenly very nervous, afraid the Institute is listening in / Nervous} Ah. Look. I want to take care of my customers, but with all that talk about the Institute in the papers...
- {Matter of fact} Geiger counter, bud?
- {friendly} Hey, it's the new girl. Am I right?
- {friendly} Hey, you're the new girl, right?
- {friendly} Hey. You're the new guy, right?
- {friendly} It's the new guy. That's you, right?
- {friendly} New guy, am I right?
- {friendly} You're that new girl, right?
- {showing your wares} Everything hand-tooled...
- {showing your wares} Feel free to test the grips.
- {showing your wares} Self defense at its best.
- {showing your wares} Something for everyone.
- {still a bit nervous / Nervous} Sorry again.
- {slightly annoyed / Irritated} Yeah, well, some of us live here, all right?
- {player is trying to pay with a "charge card" - it looks like a worthless piece of plastic} You're kidding, right? Caps only, friend.
- {persuaded to help, feel guilty about not helping before / Nervous} *sigh* Okay... There's someone who might be able to help.
- {Defensive} Hey, not even Piper's dug up anything more yet.
- {friendly} Name's Arturo. I sell protection, if you're looking to buy.
- {Nervous} They say if you're not careful you'll get... replaced. By a synth double. Or maybe they'll just send someone you thought was human to kill you.
- {friendly, but a bit confused} Uh... I'm waiting...
- {generic "coming from another conversation and getting back to business" line} Anyway, let's talk you and protection.
- {passionate, knowledgeable} Listen, I can sell you guns, swords, whatever. And they'll keep you alive for sure. But the real secret is in the mods. The little personal touches.
- {generic "coming from another conversation and getting back to business" line} Now, let's get back to talking shop.
- {Nervous} You don't know? They make the synths. Those machines that look like people?
- {friendly, chuckling / Apologetic} Word kind of travels fast in Diamond City. What can I say?
- {showing your wares} Don't forget to stock up on ammo.
- {Nervous} I hear University Point got hit a while back. Nothing there but the synths now.
- {people don't like to talk about the detective agency, it's a business no one admits going to / Nervous} But don't tell anyone you're going there, okay? Folks don't like that place. Surprised it's even still open.
- Anyway, let's get back to you, and what kind of protection you need.
- You know, a shotgun's great insurance against Raiders, but I got a lot of options here.
- {handmade as in "handmade pistol"} You still carrying that old handmade around? I'm telling you, the grip on that thing is just going to fall off one of these days.
- Install a scope, expand the clip size, whatever. You spend time with your gear, and you'll have the right answer to every problem.
- {Hushed, double-speak vital information to a spy} I'd be careful around here. The target keeps late hours with strange visitors.
- {barking sales pitches in the marketplace to a crowd of about half a dozen people} Don't walk outside the Wall undefended! High quality protection for sale.
- {friendly} Well, it's good to have you here. Name's Arturo Rodriguez. If you need protection, let's talk.
- {the police just shot a crazed gunman / Nervous} Glad Security took care of that madman.
- {Double-speak - speaking to a spy, element of danger} You the guy about the article?
- {friendly} Name's Arturo Rodriguez. If you need protection, let's talk.
- {Nervous} I just can't get involved in someone else's problems, okay?
