Cutter

Cutter is a doctor who runs the clinic at Paradise Falls in 2277.
==Background==
Cutter was born into slavery in the pens at Paradise Falls. As a youth, she learned about wasteland medicine from her mother. After her mother died, Cutter took over the responsibility of taking care of the slaves. However, she became increasingly annoyed with their inability to fight back against their slavers. After almost a decade of being paid for her services, Cutter earned the caps needed to buy her freedom. However, she stayed at Paradise Falls and continues to practice medicine there as a free woman, because the slavers needed a talented medic.Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p.67:"Cutter:Forty-one-year-old Cutter was born in the pens, a slave. She spent her youth learning Wasteland medicine from her mother. When her mother passed away, Cutter took over caretaker duties for the slaves but slowly grew bitter and frustrated with the slaves' inability to fight back against the Slavers. Spending nearly a decade trading her services, she earned enough Caps to buy her freedom. Since Paradise Falls needed a skilled medic, she stayed, taking wealthy Slavers for all she could. Find her at the clinic."
Cutter also stays in Paradise Falls because she enjoys draining wealthy slavers of their caps, a form of retribution for her life as a slave.The Lone Wanderer: "I want to buy medical supplies."Cutter: "That's good to hear, since I want to take your caps."(Cutter's dialogue) She enjoys getting paid by injured slavers who have more caps than common sense.Cutter: "Ain't nothing that I love more than an injured Slaver with more caps than sense. Hopefully, you fall into that category."(Cutter's dialogue) She does not necessarily care for the well-being of her medical clientele; she just wants to earn money as a doctor,The Lone Wanderer: "I'm hurt. I need help, Doc."Cutter: "Unless you've got hurt feelings, there's not a damn thing wrong with you. Come back when you've got some injuries that I can earn some money from."(Cutter's dialogue) and sees payment for her services as a meal ticket.The Lone Wanderer: "I'm hurt. I need help, Doc."Cutter: "Well, hello, meal ticket. 100 caps. Or I can just wait for you to die and take it."(Cutter's dialogue) To Cutter, patients at Paradise Falls are "a walking pile of caps."Cutter: "I love the sight of a limping Waster. You just look like a walking pile of caps to me."(Cutter's dialogue)
However, the slavers are not ignorant of Cutter's feelings towards them. Eulogy Jones collects a portion of Cutter's profits, and says that the slavers keep her around because of that cut, on top of keeping them alive.Cutter: "Here you go, Eulogy. The usual cut. Count it if you'd like."Eulogy Jones: "Ahh, doc. You keep us walking around and making money. That's why we keep you around."(Cutter and Eulogy Jones' dialogue)

Did you bring some caps for Auntie Cutter?"(Cutter's dialogue) However, the Fallout 3 Official Game Guide claims that Eulogy is actually older than her; Cutter is said to be 41 and Eulogy is said to be 45.Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p.72:"Eulogy Jones:Eulogy Jones is a unique 45-year-old individual. He dresses as smoothly as possible for a Wasteland Dweller and leads by persuasion and intelligence, getting others to do his dirty work. But the man is definitely dangerous; if you mess with his slaving operation, he'll be the first one to put a bullet in your brain. Eulogy got to where he is exactly as you'd expect: by being the craziest thug in a town full of crazy thugs. He'll tell you that he did it the old-fashioned way: hard work. In truth, he used his slaves as prostitutes, and consequently, Eulogy knew nearly every secret in the camp. Eventually, he killed the former leader and took over. Every plot against his life has failed, and every Slaver in the camp has learned to back off when Eulogy loses his temper. Eulogy rules by fear."
