Wh’when people get hurt, I h’help them out.}"The Chosen One: "{341}{}{What else did you say you did here?}"Lenny: "{340}{}{I h’help H’harold administer the town. Th’there’s always more p’paperwork to do.}"The Chosen One: "{163}{}{You can heal people?}"Lenny: "{200}{}{Well, b’before the W’war I w’was a doctor.}"The Chosen One: "{201}{}{Before the war? But that must have been almost 160 years ago.}"Lenny: "{210}{}{That's t’true. B’but the radiation seems to have g’given us g’ghouls a longer life-span. ‘Course, it took almost eveything else away.}"(Lenny's dialogue) After becoming ghoulified by the radiation, the two took refuge in Necropolis,Lenny: "{112}{}{I hear that you’re the Descendant of the Vault Dweller. You know, I met the Vault Dweller once.}"The Chosen One: "{120}{}{You met my ancestor?}"Lenny: "{190}{}{W’well. I didn’t actually m’meet the V’vault Dweller. But I saw them. Once. }"The Chosen One: "{191}{}{You saw the Vault Dweller? Where?}"Lenny: "{270}{}{I’it w’was a long time ago. In a place called N’necropolis. A lot of us g’ghouls lived there. One, day I saw someone running through the city.}"The Chosen One: "{271}{}{Running?}"Lenny: "{280}{}{Yes, running. You see, we ghouls c’can’t run too much anymore. So, I knew it was an outsider when I saw them. They ran by so close I could have touched them. I wish that I had joined the Vault Dweller.…}"The Chosen One: "{281}{}{You wanted to join my grandsire?}"Lenny: "{290}{}{Yes. I h’had the chance of a lifetime and I blew it.}"The Chosen One: "{291}{}{What do you mean?}"Lenny: "{300}{}{L'later, I h’heard that the Vault Dweller had fixed our water system. The V’vault Dweller saved us -- all of us. Do you understand? It didn’t matter that we were ghouls. For once it didn’t matter. We w’were people again. W’worth saving.}"The Chosen One: "{301}{}{My ancestor was the founder of our tribe. That memory is revered amongst my people.}"Lenny: "{310}{}{Later, I heard that the Vault Dweller destroyed the source of the m’mutant army. The Vault D’dweller saved all of us. Human and ghoul alike… I could have been a part of that, but I lacked the c’courage. I’ve never forgiven m’myself.}"(Lenny's dialogue) though both would fall out of contact for an unspecified amount of years. In the months preceding 2241,Coffin Willy: "{304}{}{Nothing more boring than bein' in a coffin for months.}"(Coffin Willie's dialogue) Willie made a quick stop to the city of New Reno for the prospect of "drinking n' whoring."Coffin Willy: "{300}{}{Jest pop inta Reno fer a lil' drinking n' whoring, n' damned smoothies jam me inna goddamn grave...}"(Coffin Willie's dialogue)Coffin Willy: "{303}{}{Just stopped in the city for a drink, n' those Reno assholes bury me alive.}"(Coffin Willie's dialogue)
The residents of the vice-ridden city, prejudiced against ghouls, responded by burying Willie alive in a marked grave in Golgotha, where he has remained for months without any form of sustenance.Coffin Willy: "{604}{}{Would somebody dig me up already? I need a drink!}"(Coffin Willie's dialogue) The city's last punitive action against the ghoul was to write on his headstone that he was the "dumbest son of a bitch ever to set foot in [the city]."Coffin Whillie's gravesite description: "{500}{}{The headstone reads: "Here lies the dumbest son of a bitch ever to set foot in New Reno."}"(Coffin Willie's dialogue)
