 	FollowersAcknowledgeMyOrder 	Neutral 50 	I hear you. 	
 	It's time for us to part ways. 	Neutral 50 	You sure? I mean... look, you can't just tell me to walk now, you know. That's... well, not very friendly. 	
 	On second thought, stick with me for a little longer. 	Neutral 50 	{Relieved} That's a relief. {Beat, changes tone to false confidence} I-I mean, not like I care. I'm fine on my own. 	
 	Yes, I'm sure. 	Neutral 50 	I can't say it hasn't been fun... {quiet} well, I can, but I'll save it for my memoirs. 	
 	I think we should travel together. 	Neutral 50 	Lose the second-stringer, and I'll make the time. 	
 	I think we should travel together. 	Neutral 50 	Strike up the band, Domino's back in town. 	
 	Let's get going. 	Neutral 50 	Music to my ears. 	
 	FollowersOverburdened 	Neutral 50 	{Dismissive} Get a porter, carrying someone's bags - not my style. 	
 	FollowersStealthing 	Neutral 50 	{Quiet, to himself} This crouching's hell on my knees. 	
 	Let's talk about your tactics. 	Neutral 50 	{Curious, suspicious} Tactics? What, we going to get into a shootout soon, or...? 	
 	I want you to change your combat style. 	Neutral 50 	Style's not something you just change, friend. 	
 	I want you to attack enemies the moment you see them. 	Neutral 50 	{Scoffs} Yeah, right. {Beat} Oh, you're serious. You bet. 	
 	Let's talk about something else. 	Neutral 50 	{Slight irriation} Sure, let's jaw all day and all night, why not? 	
 	That's all. Let's get going. 	Neutral 50 	If that's all, let's shake a leg. 	
 	Switch to a melee weapon. 	Neutral 50 	Boxing's not really my thing. I prefer the gentle touch... but all right, it's your show. 	
 	I want you not to attack enemies unless I've already engaged them. 	Neutral 50 	{Relieved} All you, trust me. 	
 	I want you to use ranged weapons. 	Neutral 50 	{Nods, totally lying} I'll be sure to cover you, don't you worry. 	
 	Let's talk about how close you're following me. 	Neutral 50 	You're the one who dragged me out of my apartment, so yeah, I'm keeping close. So what? 	
 	Stay close to me. 	Neutral 50 	{Nods} Like dancing with your shadow. 	
 	Your distance is good. Let's talk about something else. 	Neutral 50 	All right. 	
 	All right, you're good. Let's get out of here. 	Neutral 50 	Enough gum-flapping, Madre's not getting any younger. 	
 	Keep your distance. Try to flank them. 	Neutral 50 	{Rolls eyes} Oh, you bet. I'll flank them... might take me a while, though, so you just hold tight. 	
 	Enough about tactics. 	Neutral 50 	Fine. "Tactics" means "stay out of sight" around here anyway. 	
 	Let's trade equipment. 	Neutral 50 	{Eager} Let's deal. 	
 	Wait here. 	Neutral 50 	{Nods, but slight worry} Don't be long. 	
 	GREETING 	Disgust 10 	{Cold, menacing} So you showed. Felt the collar start kicking again as soon as the elevator doors rattled open. {<THEATER: Dean greets Player at the Theater (Hates Player opener). Dean is about to spring a trap once the convo is done: Holograms around Player>} 	
 	GREETING 	Disgust 10 	Think you're going to up-stage me, here at the Sierra Madre? I don't think so. Now that I'm inside... well, I don't need you anymore. 	
 	GREETING 	Fear 10 	{Calls out, a little nervous, but relieved} Finally, a friendly face... hey! Partner! Up here. {<THEATER: Dean greets Player at the Theater (Likes Player opener). Dean is hiding in the backstage, and will need the Player's help to get out.>} 	
 	GREETING 	Fear 10 	{Uncomfortable, like someone standing in a mine field} In a bit of a predicament here... had to duck backstage, take a powder, the audience is a little... {frowns} murderous tonight. {Dean is hemmed in by lethal security holograms.} 	
 	GREETING 	Anger 20 	{Cold, menacing} All right, you're resourceful, I'll give you that - it's going to take a lot more than juggling keys and shooting speakers to stop me. {<THEATER: Dean greets Player (Hate opener) after the Holograms are gone, and the backstage is accessible. Dean will fight player, unless persuaded>} 	
 	GREETING 	Disgust 10 	As I see it? All I need to do is kill you, then make a run for the exit. You do the same, you'll be clawing at the lock until your head blows off. 	
 	GREETING 	Neutral 50 	So maybe you and I should have a little chat - just like we did when you first waltzed into town. 	
 	GREETING 	Neutral 50 	{Relieved} Those electric ghosts aren't the kind of audience I like at the best of times - {to himself} at least the ones in the Villa had manners. {<THEATER: Dean greets Player (Like opener) after Holograms are gone. Dean will give his safe key, and entertainer pass, to Player.>} 	
 	GREETING 	Neutral 50 	{Frowns, looking around} Don't even know how I ended up here... guess the casino still recognizes guests even after all this time, huh? {Snorts} How's that for history. 	
 	GREETING 	Disgust 20 	{Under his breath, relieved, after battle in the theater} Not going to be performing {emph} here again, that's for sure. This place is a dump! Lousy acoustics. {<THEATER: Dean Greet/Bye Bark, if he was dealt with peacefully.>} 	
 	GREETING 	Anger 50 	{Player tries to talk in the middle of combat} Not now, we got bigger problems. 	
 	GREETING 	Neutral 50 	{Just heard Elijah booming over the radio} Was that him floating above the Fountain, the boss man? The one who put these bowties on our necks? 	
 	GREETING 	Fear 10 	{Uneasy} Sure does like to make a presentation... wish he'd keep it down, or else the Ghost People are going to swarm the gates, Vera Hologram or no. 	
 	GREETING 	Neutral 50 	{Player hasn't talked to Dean for the first time and isn't in his seat} Have a seat, and then we'll talk. 	
 	GREETING 	Happy 10 	The Sierra Madre. {Smiles, slightly amused} Mmm... beauty, isn't she. She the one who invited you here? 	
 	GREETING 	Neutral 50 	Or maybe you didn't catch her voice on the radio. {"You"} Woke up, confused, like some of the others. {Pauses, shrugs} Least {emph} you're still breathing. 	
 	GREETING 	Neutral 50 	{Confidentially} By the way, don't get up or make any sudden motions, no matter how uncomfortable that chair gets... the cushion's just for show. 	
 	GREETING 	Anger 10 	{Doesn't like player} I'll hold up my end, don't you worry. {To himself} We get to the Sierra Madre, it'll be a different tune, trust me. 	
 	GREETING 	Anger 10 	{Irritated, basically asked to be a roadie} "Hold the wires, Dean." {Beat} Talk about being a second stringer. 	
 	GREETING 	Disgust 10 	{At Gala position - Studying a barren rooftop with sparking wires} So {emph} this is where I'm supposed to put on the show? {Beat, mumbling} Played better venues, let me tell you. 	
 	GREETING 	Anger 10 	{Studying wiring along the roof} What's that there... wiring? Looks... {frowns} looks like it's tied to the sound system in the Villa, {looks down} except for that snipped section there. 	
 	GREETING 	Disgust 10 	{Frowns} So... what, I stand here, hold the two ends in my hands, and tap them together like cymbals? 	
 	GREETING 	Neutral 50 	{Dean likes the player} Didn't think much of our chances, now I'm thinking I was wrong. What's the next step? 	
 	GREETING 	Happy 10 	{Dean hates the player} Well, now, if it isn't my ball, chain, and dog collar rolled all into one. 	
 	GREETING 	Neutral 50 	{Dean's neutral to the player} You have that sad, questioning look in your eye. Not sure talking to me's going to make it any better. 	
 	NVDLC01DeanDialogueAutoDocCorridor 	Fear 50 	What, you need surgery done? Let's get out of here... those speakers on the wall are making my nerves do a dance. {Player keeps going deeper into the clinic, and Dean doesn't want Christine (a victim he put here) found.} 	
 	NVDLC01DeanDialogueGateLock 	Anger 10 	{Not really happy to hear this, it's like someone left his door unlocked in a dangerous neighborhood} Oh, looks like you already forced the gate. {Beat, under his breath} Now, everybody and their mother can walk right in, thanks. 	
 	NVDLC01DeanDialogueInClinic 	Fear 10 	Watch for Hologram security, not as nice as the lady at the fountain, trust me. 	
 	NVDLC01DeanDialogueMedicalDistrict 	Surprise 10	{Confused} What are we doing here? {Sarcastic} We're not going to find a doctor on call at this hour, trust me. {Player has entered the medical district. Confusion, then uneasy sarcasm.} 	
 	NVDLC01DeanDialogueMedicalDistrict 	Fear 10 	{Uneasy, not because of ghosts, but finding his victim, Christine} Place is haunted, got ghosts walking in it. 	
 	Are you going to give me the key or not? 	Fear 50 	{Paranoia sets in} Look... I give you this key, and there's nothing to keep you from just killing me and running. And as I see it... 	
 	Are you going to give me the key or not? 	Neutral 50 	{Quiet resolution} ...I just gave up my ace in the hole. So... the only chance I've got left is making sure you don't leave. 	
 	Are you going to give me the key or not? 	Neutral 50 	And there's no way in hell I'm letting you get to the Sierra Madre vault instead of me. Not after all this time. 	
 	Come on, Dean, turning me to ash? Hardly the way to end a beautiful partnership. 	Neutral 50 	It's a shame... I regret it. Still, you dames are all the same - things get a little hot, you get cold feet. That's why I'm still alive. You? Well... 	
 	Know anything about this Gala Event we're supposed to trigger? 	Neutral 50 	{Chewing it over} Supposed to be the Grand Opening of the Sierra Madre. Lot of lights, music, the works. 	
 	Know anything about this Gala Event we're supposed to trigger? 	Neutral 50 	{Slowly} And he's going to use the Gala Event... to open the casino? But... {Thinking} that's... interesting. 	
 	I found this Holotape in your safe. 	Disgust 20 	{Disdainful} You don't just stop robbing casinos, do you? What's that tape... oh, the one with Sinclair's woman, Vera. 	
 	I found this Holotape in your safe. 	Disgust 20 	{Disdainful} What about it? You want me to give you a standing ovation? 	
 	{Hates PC}That's all I wanted to know. Ready to die? 	Anger 20 	Always asking questions when you should be shooting. You're a piece of work, I'll give you that. 	
 	I need you to stay here and fire off the Gala Event. 	Neutral 50 	Unless you get some Hologram guards lit up in the courtyard below? No dice. 	
 	I need you to stay here and fire off the Gala Event. 	Surprise 10	{Like told to wait in a DMZ} Whoa, whoa, whoa... in the middle of town here? Alone? On a {emph} rooftop, with a big lightshow in the air? {<Dean doesn't want to stay in a DMZ with zombies all around.>} 	
 	I need you to stay here and fire off the Gala Event. 	Neutral 50 	{Sarcastic} Tell you what - why don't you just find one of those Cosmic steak knives so I can slit my wrists, be less {emph} painful checking out that way. 	
 	Vera Hologram? You know the holographic woman? 	Anger 10 	Yeah - don't you? Or... {Frowns} guess Vera Keyes got lost along with the rest of the holo-archives when the bomb hit, huh? 	
 	Vera Hologram? You know the holographic woman? 	Neutral 50 	{Little wistful} Ghost in name and image. Still a looker, though. {Quiet} Got to hand it to Sinclair, sure can pick 'em. Well, or get picked. Whichever. 	
 	You're not a betting man, which means I'm betting you have the key to the exit on you. 	Fear 10 	[SUCCEEDED] {Bluffing, slightly uneasy} Lucky guess... you sure about that? Because if you make a mistake... well, Sierra Madre's got us both. 	
 	I bet I can figure out how to unlock the exit without you. 	Neutral 50 	[FAILED] Yeah, you're a gambler. Me, I don't take chances. Trust me, only {emph} one of us has a sure out. 	
 	{THEATER: Player has rescued Dean}Are you all right? 	Neutral 50 	{Relieved} Yeah, now. Talk about a captive audience. {Frowns, thinking it over} Or captive entertainer? Eh - whatever. {<Dean gives key to his safe - where supplies, and Vera's Holotape are found. He also gives the Entertainer Pass, to open Theater up. Thanks.>} 	
 	What are you talking about? 	Neutral 50 	Might be a bit rude, but that chair you're sitting in - it's got a shaped charge in the seat cushion. 	
 	Better be a shaped charge, or you're going to kill both of us. 	Happy 20 	[SUCCEEDED] {Impressed} Sounds like you've done some blue collar construction work in your life, your Ma must be proud. Still... 	
 	The chair's... an explosive? But... 	Disgust 10 	[FAILED] "Butt" is right. That heart-shaped charge in the stuffing will cause just the right amount of bleeding. 	
 	Hnh? 	Anger 10 	{Frowns} Great, a moron - just what I need. {Beat} Look? That seat you're sitting in? It's a {emph} bomb. Go boom. 	
 	<Storage Blue Node. Do not translate.> 	Anger 50 	Get up without my permission, I'll blast your ass so far through your head, it'll turn the moon cherry pie red. 	
 	<Storage Blue Node. Do not translate.> 	Anger 20 	So - let's keep this sweet and polite, and finish our conversation with no misunderstandings. 	
 	<Storage Blue Node. Do not translate.> 	Anger 10 	Just because I work in entertainment, doesn't mean I'm a moron. 	
 	<Storage Blue Node. Do not translate.> 	Neutral 50 	I heard my necktie beeping, I know what that means - I'm part of this somehow. I want out of this contract. 	
 	<Storage Blue Node. Do not translate.> 	Anger 10 	{Colder} And if you put me in it, I'm not going to be too happy. So whatever's going on here, if you're part of all this? You're taking orders from me. 	
 	<Storage Blue Node. Do not translate.> 	Neutral 50 	{Talking level with the player, relieved to be saved} I'm not an idiot. I know the reason I'm in here now is because of the old guy - and you. 	
 	<Storage Blue Node. Do not translate.> 	Disgust 10 	{Rueful} And {emph} you're wearing a collar, so I trust you a {emph} little more than the old guy. {Beat, throw this line away} He's more controlling than I'd like. 	
 	<Storage Blue Node. Do not translate.> 	Neutral 50 	{Whispering} Thing is, here's where being my {emph} partner pays off. See, I know how to get into the casino vault. 	
 	<Storage Blue Node. Do not translate.> 	Neutral 50 	So here's the short of it - piece together Little Miss Vera Keyes' song in the right order? {Beat, spreads hands} Sierra Madre opens its legs, we're in business. 	
 	I'll save my questions for the end - please, go on. 	Happy 10 	[SUCCEEDED] {Pleased} And that's what I've missed - a rapt audience. 	
 	Uh... you... probably want to hear my side of things. 	Anger 10 	[FAILED] You don't listen too good, do you? {Colder} Makes me think whatever you have to say isn't worth my time. 	
 	Look - I need your help to get into the Sierra Madre. 	Anger 20 	{Irritated, bad side starts coming out} Oh, of course you do. Now, it's like we're married with these big wedding rings around our necks. 	
 	Look - I need your help to get into the Sierra Madre. 	Anger 10 	So why don't you hear {emph} my proposal first, before you start talking about what {emph} you need. 	
 	Misund...? Ummm. 	Disgust 10 	Christ, if that collar blows, I don't know if you'd know the difference, you'd probably still keep walking around with that dumb, blank look. 	
 	Misund...? Ummm. 	Disgust 10 	{Different than other one - speaking to an idiot, so emphasis is different} Just because I work in entertainment, doesn't mean {emph} I'm a moron. 	
 	I'll cooperate. What do you want? 	Happy 20 	{Slightly friendlier, let's-make-a-deal} Good, good - then we're in business. I may be a betting man, but I like it when the odds are in our favor. 	
 	I'll cooperate. What do you want? 	Neutral 50 	If you're here with who I think, then I'd rather have you on my side than his. An... ace in the hole. 	
 	I'll cooperate. What do you want? 	Neutral 50 	You want to live, I want what's in the Madre. Real simple. 	
 	No, based on your response, I'm sure of it. 	Fear 10 	All right, all right... look, I'll hand it over, I promise. No need to get all upset. We can both come out ahead in this. 	
 	I'm positive you have it. Now, I'll just kill you and take it. 	Disgust 20 	{Flustered} What? Hey, hey... now... w-wait... I... {angered} ah, forget it. Time for the hard way. {<THEATER: Dean curses Player, getting ready to fight to the death>} 	
 	I think she was sick, yes. Found a medical report in her Suite. 	Anger 10 	{Frowns} What are you talking about? Medical report? Vera wasn't... 	
 	I think she was sick, yes. Found a medical report in her Suite. 	Surprise 10	{Thinking} ...the Med-X and Superstims. And here I thought she was trying to numb herself to the lights. 	
 	I think she was sick, yes. Found a medical report in her Suite. 	Neutral 50 	Sinclair must have known, though. He was dense, not in that way. But... that doesn't make any sense. If she was sick, dying... 	
 	I think she was sick, yes. Found a medical report in her Suite. 	Surprise 20	...then why build this place? Why start a damn casino and have her be the lock? 	
 	Why did you need her? 	Neutral 50 	Because she could get closer to Sinclair than I ever could. He built this place for her... well, after the two "chanced" to meet. 	
 	I'm not sure. 	Neutral 50 	That's... hmm. Never mind, doesn't change anything. The Sierra Madre's still waiting for us to crack it open. 	
 	Are you really that stupid? 	Neutral 50 	I waited an entire lifetime! Sitting in that Villa, watching it all fall apart - Sinclair's Sierra Madre towering over everything? Untouched?! 	
 	Are you really that stupid? 	Anger 10 	Then you show up, thinking you can just take it all from me, you and the old man running the show? I {emph} planned all this, I {emph} made it all happen, not you! 	
 	Are you really that stupid? 	Neutral 50 	Sure, yeah, I have the key on me. I made other keys, too, to unlock the casino and ruin Sinclair, finally. After all these years... 	
 	Are you really that stupid? 	Anger 10 	No... now... now I think ruining you and all your plans would be enough for me. Kill me, I still win, you're never getting in the vault. 	
 	Have other people shown up in search of the Sierra Madre? 	Neutral 50 	Tourists, you bet. They don't stay long... and they don't stay alive long. 	
 	Have other people shown up in search of the Sierra Madre? 	Neutral 50 	If they survive the Cloud, the Ghost People, the traps, then greed takes over, and they start sizing each other up for funeral suits. 	
 	Is anyone else alive around here? 	Fear 10 	{Choosing his words carefully, the locals are, well, zombies} "Alive's" a tricky word. The locals, the Ghost People? Not sure it applies to them. 	
 	Is anyone else alive around here? 	Neutral 50 	They're a little... uncivilized. They don't talk much. As in, at all. 	
 	That's the plan. Are you going to be able to do it safely? 	Neutral 50 	{Skeptical} Well... "safely?" Around here, that word doesn't come cheap. 	
 	That's the plan. Are you going to be able to do it safely? 	Disgust 50 	Safely? What, after your sweet-and-ruthless talk when we first met, now you care about my safety? Right. 	
 	I could just jab both wires into you, close the circuit that way. 	Surprise 20	Really? You don't strike me as the type, especially after our little "how can I cooperate" chat at my home. 	
 	I could just jab both wires into you, close the circuit that way. 	Neutral 50 	Real funny. {Beat} Although you know, after your "collar talk" in the Residential area, I believe you. 	
 	If re-connecting the speakers is part of the Gala Event, yes. 	Fear 10 	Look... I strike up the speaker system, there's going to be ghosts all over this place. Any change in the sounds around here... 	
 	If re-connecting the speakers is part of the Gala Event, yes. 	Fear 10 	...the Ghost People are not big on talking, they are big on listening. Hunting. Killing. More vicious than music critics, trust me. 	
 	Look, I need you to stay here and do it. 	Surprise 10	{Like told to wait in a DMZ} In the middle of town here? Alone? On a {emph} rooftop, with a big lightshow in the air? {<Dean doesn't want to stay in a DMZ with zombies all around.>} 	
 	Look, I need you to stay here and do it. 	Disgust 10 	{Sarcastic} Tell you what - why don't you just give me one of those Space Age Cosmic Knives so I can slit my wrists, be less {emph} painful checking out that way. 	
 	I'm not going to help you. 	Neutral 50 	That so? 	
 	Have you tried to deal with them? 	Neutral 50 	Tried talking to them, bribing them, leaving food - nothing. In the years since, they haven't changed their approach, but I sure have. 	
 	Have you tried to deal with them? 	Fear 10 	They catch you, they drag you into the Cloud, and you're not coming back out. {To himself} After that, having your necktie go off would be mercy. 	
 	Have you tried to deal with them? 	Neutral 50 	My advice? Stay out of their way, they don't die easy. 	
 	Our collars... these "neckties" are linked. I die, you die. 	Anger 50 	That's an interesting clause. {Frowns} That's a real bad contract you have. We have. 	
 	Your negotiation skills assume you're bargaining from a position of strength. 	Anger 50 	[SUCCEEDED] {Frowns, suspicious} What are you talking about? 	
 	Uh... look, maybe we can make some sort of... deal, you and me. 	Anger 10 	[FAILED] The hand's been dealt, {emph} that's the deal. You going along with my terms, or do you want your brains to be wallpaper? 	
 	Either deal with me as an equal, or I walk. 	Anger 10 	Just like all the rest. Strolling in here, thinking you own the place. I've been here longer than {emph} any of you tourists. 	
 	Either deal with me as an equal, or I walk. 	Disgust 10 	Trust me, I'm letting you off easier than the Sierra Madre ever would. Nobody's going to miss you... whoever you are, you're old news. 	
 	It's starting to make sense, now that I've met you. 	Happy 50 	{Laughs} All right, all right... looks like marriage finally caught me. 	
 	It's starting to make sense, now that I've met you. 	Happy 20 	I'm listening... partner. What's next, if we're death-til-we-part? 	
 	What weapons are you skilled with? 	Neutral 50 	Not one for fighting if we can avoid it. Still, wasn't bad at the pistol range and over the years, I've learned how to handle a knife... 	
 	What weapons are you skilled with? 	Sad 10 	{Little quieter} ...and explosives a bit. A bit. {To himself} Made a lot of mistakes along the way. Still have my fingers, though. 	
 	Meet at the Fountain, and we'll hear what the next step is. 	Neutral 50 	Not leaving me much choice. The Fountain, huh? {Beat} Hope the Hologram's still working and the battery's running strong. 	
 	Meet at the Fountain, and we'll hear what the next step is. 	Neutral 50 	I'll follow you, I'm not going alone, trust me. Not like I'm a coward or anything, I'm not running around town without an escort. 	
 	Meet at the Fountain, and we'll hear what the next step is. 	Neutral 50 	I'm serious. One of the locals catches us, we aren't coming back - and I'd like to keep an eye on you. 	
 	How tough are they? 	Neutral 50 	You shoot them, they get back up. You stab them, they get back up. 	
 	How tough are they? 	Disgust 20 	That's why I have explosives all over this place - unless you blow them up, chop them up, disintegrate 'em, {shakes head} the Ghost People don't go down. 	
 	How tough are they? 	Neutral 50 	Not enough bullets in the town to spend on them. So unless you're a real good shot, save one for yourself right before they catch you. 	
 	I'm a fair shot. One shot, one kill is how I handle problems. 	Neutral 50 	[SUCCEEDED] {Studying player} Well... you seem like you know how to handle yourself. All right. 	
 	I'm a fair shot. One shot, one kill is how I handle problems. 	Happy 20 	Once, I fired a lucky shot, hit a gas tank one was holding. Blew his arm off at the shoulder... and he didn't get back up after that. 	
 	I'm a fair shot. One shot, one kill is how I handle problems. 	Neutral 50 	So if you're {emph} that good, don't aim for the head - aim for their bombs. And if you can wait until his buddies are close by, even better. 	
 	I'm not a bad shot. I could probably kill one. 	Neutral 50 	[FAILED] Yeah, well, "probably" is something a gambler says, not a survivor. I'd keep your pistol where it belongs - in the holster. 	
 	Where did they come from? 	Neutral 50 	{Slight exasperation, as if he's thought about this a lot, then tries to recall Hamlet quote} Friend... "there's more mysteries in heaven and earth..." wait, no, "there is more between heaven and earth..." oh, forget it. 	
 	Where did they come from? 	Disgust 20 	I'd sooner ask what makes me an undying son of a bitch than spend any thought as to why {emph} they crawled to life here. 	
 	Where did they come from? 	Neutral 50 	I'm counting myself lucky I still have my faculties - they sure don't. Then again, they may not have had the... focus I do. 	
 	I think you can manage walking there without me. Now get going. 	Fear 10 	Wait, wait... wait just a minute. I'm not walking out there on my own. 	
 	Focus? 	Neutral 50 	Always had the Sierra Madre to keep my mind occupied. 	
 	Focus? 	Neutral 50 	Most folks, they don't have the same drive, the same need. Not worth my time. Pretty much Ghost People before the Bomb, now Ghost People after. 	
 	Any reason you can't find your way there? 	Neutral 50 	I know what's out there. It's why I've planted a mine field, shotguns, and explosives all the way on the road to my little boudoir here. 	
 	Any reason you can't find your way there? 	Neutral 50 	So we go together, or we're not going at all. I'll split my hand in Blackjack when the time's right, I'm not splitting up in this town, trust me. 	
 	Fine. Get up and follow me. 	Neutral 50 	All right... partner. 	
 	Fine. Get up and follow me. 	Neutral 50 	All right, all right... but you already got company, so tell you what - I'll meet you at the Fountain. 	
 	Well, if I can get here, others will be, soon enough. Fountain's the safest place. 	Neutral 50 	That's... a good point. All right, let me grab some smokes, and I'll meet you at the Fountain. 	
 	{Opener}I had questions I wanted to ask. 	Neutral 50 	All right, keep it short, we don't have a lot of time. 	
 	{After asking 1 Q}I had other questions. 	Disgust 20 	{Slight irritation} Of course you do. Let's hear 'em. 	
 	{After asking 1 Q}I had other questions. 	Neutral 50 	It's your time, and if you want to spend it chatting, not much I can do about it. 	
 	Is there anything else about them I should know? 	Fear 10 	{Dean gets deadly serious here, his fear should foreshadow end of Act 2} Whatever we do - don't rile them up. Normally, there's only a few, maybe a pack. There's more out there, a lot more. 	
 	Is there anything else about them I should know? 	Fear 20 	If they find out someone's trespassing, it'd be shaking a hornet's nest. Don't want to think how many of them could fill these streets. 	
 	What are the Vending Machines all over town? 	Neutral 50 	Those little company stores? Sinclair's toy boxes, put in a casino chip, get a treat, {angry at self} like you're some dog doing tricks. 	
 	What are the Vending Machines all over town? 	Neutral 50 	Take any of the casino chips, put 'em into the machine, and you'll get something out - a snack, a cola, something to mend a tear in your shirt. 	
 	What are the Vending Machines all over town? 	Neutral 50 	Sometimes you have to know exactly what to ask for, other times, there's codes for... eh, unconventional items. For emergencies. 	
 	I've never seen machines like those before. 	Disgust 10 	{Took vending machines for granted, realizes player may not} Yeah, well, machines like those weren't unusual before the Bomb. Maybe to you, they're amazing, to me, they're grifters without the personality. 	
 	Grifters? 	Disgust 5 	Sinclair made sure if you spent money here, it went {emph} one direction - although that's not how {emph} he described it. 	
 	How did he describe it? 	Disgust 10 	Called it "self-sufficient." Like he was doing the residents a favor. Right. 	
 	What other items can you get out of the machines? 	Neutral 50 	If it's an emergency, you can get chems for any... uh... condition. Sinclair left that for doctors and trained professionals, not the common folk. 	
 	What other items can you get out of the machines? 	Neutral 50 	Even security and maintenance could get special supplies out of them. Staff had codes on little cards they could use to unlock them. 	
 	Where can I find these cards? 	Neutral 50 	Around. Don't have much use for them myself, not worth the risk to get them. 	
 	Where can I find these cards? 	Neutral 50 	I got all the basics covered, as long as I have the chips to pay for them. I don't need much. 	
 	Tell me about the Cloud. 	Neutral 50 	The Cloud? Showed up after the Bomb. {Frowns} I think. I got used to it in small doses. Now, it covers the city. 	
 	Tell me about the Cloud. 	Sad 10 	{Slightly sad for a moment} Over the years, it kept climbing up out of the Sierra Madre, until it was curtains for the sun. Didn't see the sky again. 	
 	Tell me about the Cloud. 	Neutral 50 	Doesn't seem to bother the Ghost People. Can't see through it too well, though, so sometimes I can use the Cloud for cover... if I get desperate. 	
 	What can you tell me about the Villa and the town? 	Neutral 50 	Residential area, clinic, police station - should keep away from the police station, it's a Ghost People hangout. 	
 	What can you tell me about the Villa and the town? 	Anger 10 	Salida del Sol, Puesta del Sol are East Town, West Town. "Sunrise" and "Sunset." {To himself, irritated} Or were when the streets and sky weren't covered with toxic gas. 	
 	What can you tell me about the Villa and the town? 	Fear 10 	Ghost People don't come into the Villa much. West Town and East Town, though... they're thick with the Cloud {emph} and Ghost People. Like hunting grounds. 	
 	{THEATER: 1st Time, Hates player}Don't act stupid. Let's get out of here. 	Anger 50 	{Slightly defensive, angry, echoing player's "stupid" accusation} Stupid? No, playing it smart. {Emph} You're the dumb one, waltzing in here without realizing who the headliner is. {<Dean bids farewell to the Player. The trap springs, and he retreats to the stage's scaffolding/hallways to avoid harm - Holograms are on>} 	
 	{THEATER: Dean fight}This is where it ends, Dean, give up. 	Disgust 20 	I can take a chump like you even if I didn't have eight lives lined up behind me, and a rising soundtrack. So put your dancing shoes on - let's go. {<THEATER: Dean curses Player, getting ready to fight to the death>} 	
 	{THEATER: 1st Time, Likes player}How did you get up there? 	Fear 10 	{Slight nervous} No idea... woke up here, thought I was dreaming for a second... right back on stage, the mic... {Thinking about to the show days...} 	
 	{THEATER: 1st Time, Likes player}How did you get up there? 	Neutral 50 	Thought I was back at the Fronds... {to himself} well, except no audience, used to pack theaters back then... so stepped up on the stage, check things out... 	
 	{THEATER: 1st Time, Likes player}How did you get up there? 	Fear 10 	Then suddenly Holograms walked out of the wings... and they started raising their hands to their heads all creepy-like, {emph} not a good sign. 	
 	According to the marker, you're slated for a spot in Puesta del Sol. 	Neutral 50 	No... looks like a {emph} rooftop in Puesta del Sol. In better days, nice view. Now? It's the last place anyone wants to stand when this event goes off. {Correcting player, then takes a breath - this isn't good news.} 	
 	According to the marker, you're slated for a spot in Puesta del Sol. 	Neutral 50 	That place during Spring, Summer, and Fall, a little bit in Winter, is a prime resort spot for Ghost People. Not the best of neighborhoods. 	
 	According to the marker, you're slated for a spot in Puesta del Sol. 	Fear 10 	If we're going there, I'm not going alone. And if you have any bright ideas about telling me to stroll over there - or leave me there? No thanks. 	
 	{THEATER: 1st Time, Hates player}If you think you can take me, come down and try it. 	Neutral 50 	No... no, no... I'm not leaving this spot. Why dirty my hands when the Sierra Madre can kill you for me? 	
 	{THEATER: 1st Time, Hates player}If you think you can take me, come down and try it. 	Happy 10 	{Smug, a little eager} Time for a little show - I'll just grab a seat and watch how this plays out from backstage. Security can handle it from here. {<Dean bids farewell to the Player. The trap springs, and he retreats to the stage's scaffolding/hallways to avoid harm - Holograms are on>} 	
 	{THEATER: Player has rescued Dean}Yeah, lucky us. Love getting shot at by Pre-War ghosts. 	Neutral 50 	Look, I'm more about the short goodbyes than long thankful speeches... {sincere} but I appreciate you bailing me out of a tight spot there - partner. 	
 	{THEATER: Player has rescued Dean}Yeah, lucky us. Love getting shot at by Pre-War ghosts. 	Neutral 50 	I know you didn't do it out of the goodness of your heart. So let me give you something a little more practical - a way we both come out ahead. 	
 	{THEATER: Player has rescued Dean}Don't have time for the song and dance, Dean. 	Neutral 50 	I know you didn't do it out of the goodness of your heart. So... instead of empty words and a flourish, let me give you something more useful. 	
 	{THEATER: Dean fight}So, what, you're going to risk blowing off your own head to kill me? 	Disgust 20 	{Smug, confident} No, I'm not. {emph} I'll get out in time - you won't. {Already planning ahead, as if free and clear already} Once I kill you, exit stage left, and my collar will go quiet. 	
 	{THEATER: 1st Time, Hates player}So, stabbing me in the back for the Sierra Madre? 	Surprise 10	{Incredulous} You think {emph} I'm the bad guy here? I'm not the one slapping bomb collars on innocent folks and flicking the switch. {<Dean bids farewell to the Player. The trap springs, and he retreats to the stage's scaffolding/hallways to avoid harm - Holograms are on>} 	
 	{THEATER: 1st Time, Hates player}So, stabbing me in the back for the Sierra Madre? 	Disgust 20 	{Sing-song, then disdainful in second half} And I'm not stabbing you in the back. I was facing you all the time. This heist? I planned it lifetimes ago. You and that old man? Tourists. 	
 	Any idea why he wants you there? 	Neutral 50 	Partner, I'm not sure this guy's operating with a full deck. My bet? Process of elimination, lowest common denominator. 	
 	Any idea why he wants you there? 	Neutral 50 	He figures the "Strong Man"'s needed somewhere, {to himself} even if it sounds like the Strong Man's {emph} two minds about it. {Two minds b/c Dog (Strong Man) has multiple personalities.} 	
 	Any idea why he wants you there? 	Neutral 50 	Plus, I'm guessing wherever ol' Doggy Boy's needed doesn't need smarts. {Beat, to himself} I hope not, or we're royally jones'd. 	
 	What do you mean? 	Happy 10 	{Confiding, superior} There's a private elevator, Sinclair's elevator. It's up in the Executive Suites, in Vera's room. {Beat, emph} Not a coincidence. 	
 	What do you mean? 	Neutral 50 	Vera. {Reluctant, quiet} She was... my other partner, before the Bomb. {Quieter} Took some legwork. Some convincing, made it happen. 	
 	Tell me. The short version. 	Neutral 50 	Elevator's up in the Executive Suites. Voice-activated. Speak the right phrase, in the right tone of voice, and it's open sesame. 	
 	Tell me. The short version. 	Neutral 50 	I was able to snag the voice, {beat downnote} or thought I had. {Normal tone} The right tone and phrasing... well, that may take some time. 	
 	Voice? 	Disgust 10 	Yeah, the woman, the Starlet, Vera - her voice. {Grumbles to himself} Didn't realize there was so many holotapes of her still around, otherwise... eh, never mind. 	
 	So you don't know the phrase? 	Neutral 50 	{Thinking} No, that I still had to figure out - still do. Sinclair wrote stuff down, was obsessive about it. Just got to find where. 	
 	{Likes PC}All right, I'll head out and see what I can do on my end. 	Neutral 50 	Go knock yourself out. I'm just going to catch my breath a bit. That performance... well, more pressure than I was expecting. 	
 	Security? What security? 	Neutral 50 	Didn't see anyone come in? Well... they'll be here soon. 	
 	Security? What security? 	Happy 10 	And go on, run for the exit door, this'll be fun to watch. 	
 	How so? 	Disgust 20 	Sinclair was already puppy-eyed, so all I had to do was the introductions. {Disgusted} She smiled, fluttered her eyes, showed a little leg... 	
 	How so? 	Disgust 20 	{A little colder, disgust chilling} ...and he built this whole place for her. Made {emph} her the key to his vault, like a joke, cause of her name. {Draw this out} Her fake Hollywood name. {Bitter.} 	
 	How so? 	Anger 20 	{Malicious, implying "been" = sex} Except Sinclair didn't know I'd been there first. I could twist her whatever direction I wanted. 	
 	Go on. 	Happy 10 	All she had to do was get inside the Sierra Madre for the Gala, then use her voice to open the door. {Smiles} After that... smooth sailing. 	
 	Go on. 	Happy 10 	{Gleeful, slight malicious} Would have been the biggest heist in history. Sinclair left holding the bag. Ruined. 	
 	So what happened? 	Neutral 50 	{Quiet, reflective} The Bomb. Vera got sealed in here. {Throwaway} A few hundred years go by, give-or-take. {Emph} Almost the end of the story - then you came along. 	
 	So what happened? 	Happy 10 	{Rallying} Now we finish the job. Rob the Sierra Madre, rip out its heart. Last chapter of Frederick Sinclair, close the book. 	
 	What was your problem with Sinclair? 	Surprise 20	{Slight surprise, hasn't given a lot of thought to this in a long time} Problem? All high-and-mighty. Lording it over everyone. Acting so self-righteous, like nothing could touch him. He was the one with the problem. 	
 	What was your problem with Sinclair? 	Sad 10 	{Colder, losing himself} Never got mad at anything. Nothing seemed to shake him. Even after... his life kept getting dragged through the dirt. 	
 	What was your problem with Sinclair? 	Sad 10 	{Cold, staring into the distance} Always kept looking for the bright, shining future in everything. So... I decided to take everything from him. 	
 	But what did he do to you? 	Anger 50 	Do to me? {Frowns} What, weren't you listening? He thought he was {emph} better than me. Don't believe me? Look around. 	
 	But what did he do to you? 	Anger 25 	This big casino, this big colossal monument - think it was for some woman? No, all ego, all self-righteous-in-lights, fit him perfect. 	
 	But what did he do to you? 	Anger 10 	Had to take him down a few pegs, bring him down to my level. "Begin again?" Some things you don't get up from... I was going to prove it. 	
 	Forget Sinclair. If Vera was the key, she's dead. 	Disgust 10 	{Mocking, he's echoing one of his songs} I only saw her yesterday. Well, a few yesterdays. 	
 	So you're going to prove it now? How? 	Neutral 50 	I didn't know at first. Then the old man showed up. You showed up. Then... that woman showed up, covered in scars. 	
 	So you're going to prove it now? How? 	Neutral 50 	The one who makes all the hand signs, a little tight around the corners of her mouth. 	
 	So you're going to prove it now? How? 	Neutral 50 	I put her in the Clinic, tuned her like an instrument. If she heals up, it's not going to be her voice speaking any more. 	
 	So you're going to prove it now? How? 	Sad 10 	That is, if the Sierra Madre didn't get her. If it did... well, there's enough of Vera around for me to spend a few years piecing a book together. 	
 	And if she is alive? 	Neutral 50 	Then she can make some beautiful music. I'm not banking on it. 	
 	I found one of your stashes. Why did you leave them around the Villa? 	Neutral 50 	Why? Survival. I still needed to leave the Residential Area to scrounge up supplies, and I don't like taking chances. 	
 	I found one of your stashes. Why did you leave them around the Villa? 	Neutral 50 	The Villa's dangerous. So I left weapons and stims in case I got in a tight spot. {Grumbling} Then, of course, {emph} you show up, putting your mitts on everything. 	
 	I found one of your stashes. Why did you leave them around the Villa? 	Neutral 50 	I suppose this qualifies as an emergency, so I'm not complaining. Much. 	
 	Scrounge supplies? Like what? 	Neutral 50 	{Defensive} I still need to eat. At least I think I do. The Villa provides... even if it's not as glamorous as the Cantina Madrid. 	
 	Scrounge supplies? Like what? 	Neutral 50 	Once I... well, realized what you could scrounge up around here, I had a lot of time to experiment. Not the best chef, but... 	
 	Scrounge supplies? Like what? 	Neutral 50 	...well, here's the mix, if you can stomach it. {Rueful} I call it a "Sierra Madre Martini." 	
 	I'm not going to let any harm come to you, all right? 	Neutral 50 	{Reluctant} No... you're not the type, but accidents happen, good intentions or no. 	
 	I'm not going to let any harm come to you, all right? 	Surprise 20	Really? That wasn't the "we're both bomb-married" talk you gave me when we first met. 	
 	I'm not going to let any harm come to you, all right? 	Neutral 50 	Look, you could offer me a steel clad contract for a world tour of all major cities with Imperial Records, I still wouldn't stay here. 	
 	{THEATER: 1st Time, Likes player}How did you get from the Gala Event to here? 	Neutral 50 	{Sounds like dupe of another line, isn't, this one's friendlier, more confused} I was already was halfway off the rooftop, through the service tunnel and making a break for the gate before the light show started... 	
 	{THEATER: 1st Time, Likes player}How did you get from the Gala Event to here? 	Neutral 50 	...and before Vera finished her Gala speech... I knew what'd happen with "music" in the streets and lights in the sky... Ghost People. Lots of them. 	
 	{THEATER: 1st Time, Likes player}How did you get from the Gala Event to here? 	Neutral 50 	Also meant the front gate was open, and no way was I missing it after all these years. Then... I walk in... and... 	
 	How do you make it? 	Neutral 50 	Scrape some Cloud Residue off the walls, mash it in a Tin Can with some Junk Food from the machines, then hold your nose and down it. 	
 	How do you make it? 	Neutral 50 	There's Electric Hot Plates around if you can't find a campfire to mix it at. Also, there's other recipes you can do with the Cloud Residue... 	
 	How do you make it? 	Neutral 50 	...although it might take a hardier survivalist than me to brew them. I stick to martinis. 	
 	<Lie> Dean, I wouldn't leave you here, I swear. 	Disgust 10 	{Disdainful} Sure, nice words, nice promises... not worth a dime out here in the shadow of the Sierra Madre. {Not buying the offer.} 	
 	<Lie> Dean, I wouldn't leave you here, I swear. 	Anger 10 	You say you wouldn't leave me here, I know better. {Low threat} And you leave me here, this Gala Event isn't going to happen, I can feel it. 	
 	What about Christine? 	Neutral 50 	Christine, that her name? Nice name. I mean, you can't see it on posters, but... never mind. 	
 	What about Christine? 	Neutral 50 	I don't know. She might need to hold some place where speaking isn't important. Like stage tech? Lighting? Got me. 	
 	What about Christine? 	Neutral 50 	And me? I've had prime billing in Europe, New York... and this gig doesn't feel like that. 	
 	What about Christine? 	Neutral 50 	Don't get me wrong, I can hold an audience, conduct a score from the rooftops, but I'm guessing I'm the odd man out in this whole heist. 	
 	And the woman? The Auto-Doc victim - what about her? 	Neutral 50 	Little Miss Silence...? Maybe she needs to be in some place where she can be seen, but being heard isn't important? 	
 	Why... it sure is interesting. Are you thinking what I'm thinking? 	Neutral 50 	[SUCCEEDED] Yeah... maybe the drain in power, that'll cause the security systems to shut down enough to let us in. But... getting back out? 	
 	Why... it sure is interesting. Are you thinking what I'm thinking? 	Neutral 50 	No, the place'll close up tighter than an opening at the Fronds. {To himself} Or Danny Parker's sphincter when he has to tip a doorman. {Fronds = Old World casino, Danny Parker = Old World entertainer that Domino didn't like too much.} 	
 	Interesting? Interesting how? 	Neutral 50 	[FAILED] Interesting... in the sense that having some light show open the Sierra Madre? Interesting to me, who would have thought? {Whoops, almost revealed too much, backpedaling a bit here before the player finds him out.} 	
 	What happens during the Gala Event? 	Neutral 50 	Oh, it'll light up the casino, light up the sky... set the speakers in the Villa to play beautiful, soothing music. {Oh, sure, it'll be all sweetness and roses...} 	
 	What happens during the Gala Event? 	Neutral 50 	...and when I say soothing music, I mean with the speakers being the state they are, things'll be screaming, all right. Think air raid sirens. {...if by roses, you mean Venus flytraps.} 	
 	What happens during the Gala Event? 	Neutral 50 	That means it'll wake up everything in town like a hornet's nest. Not sure what a hornet is? Forget it - basically, trouble. 	
 	Can you tell me about her? 	Neutral 50 	Vera was a big star, back before the Bomb. Not the best actress, but... well, she had other talents. Nice voice, nice legs. 	
 	Can you tell me about her? 	Neutral 50 	For some reason, Sinclair... he built this place... she caught his eye. {Shrugs} Once he was hooked, that was it, had to have her. 	
 	Can you tell me about her? 	Neutral 50 	So made the introductions, and guess what? He builds this place for her, like some kind of Cleopatra obsession. {Beat, looks around} Wasn't always a deathtrap. 	
 	Introductions? You knew her before? 	Neutral 50 	Of course. What, some kind of surprise to you that I knew people once? Used to have my name in lights, all right? 	
 	Introductions? You knew her before? 	Neutral 50 	Knew a dozen Veras, or whatever her name was. Uh... "Vera Keyes." Figured I could pay Sinclair back, introduce the two... 	
 	Introductions? You knew her before? 	Neutral 50 	{To himself} ...guy was a slouch in the dame department, had to pick up the slack somehow. 	
 	I found some medical records in the Villa Clinic. You brought her in for treatment, right?	Surprise 10	{Slight surprise} The Clinic? {Beat, a little wary} Yeah, I did bring her in. Before the Gala... well, before the first Gala Event. A few lifetimes ago. {Dean's initially worried he's been "caught" at the opening of this thread, then recovers, tries to dismiss it.} 	
 	I found some medical records in the Villa Clinic. You brought her in for treatment, right?	Neutral 50 	She was a stress case, throat was shot, all nerves. When she wasn't doped up on Med-X or Superstimming her pain away... 	
 	I found some medical records in the Villa Clinic. You brought her in for treatment, right?	Neutral 50 	...look, never mind. I don't want to speak bad about her. She was a classy woman, good singer, and if she couldn't act her way out of a box... 	
 	I found some medical records in the Villa Clinic. You brought her in for treatment, right?	Neutral 50 	...she was Sinclair's world, and that's all that mattered. He didn't need to know any of that, any of her history. 	
 	So the visitors all killed each other? 	Neutral 50 	Sure. First, they figure they can get out, escape. {Beat, slow, emph} Then they start thinking it over, start thinking about how they can have it all. 	
 	So the visitors all killed each other? 	Neutral 50 	They start weighing the odds, taking risks... and then taking each other out. Bomb collars or not. 	
 	So the visitors all killed each other? 	Neutral 50 	Although... it's odd, the bomb collars weren't linked before like they are now. Guess someone learned what the problem was. 	
 	What happened to the people who came to the Villa? 	Neutral 50 	Dead. Either got killed by one of the Villa's attractions, locals, or the beautiful weather. 	
 	What happened to the people who came to the Villa? 	Neutral 50 	Can tell you right now - they didn't stick close to each other, and when they did, they let down their guard at the wrong moment. 	
 	What happened to the people who came to the Villa? 	Neutral 50 	Some left signposts to others, trying to help them out - just led to them getting killed by someone a little more greedy than they were. 	
 	Any advice to getting through this? 	Neutral 50 	Well... considering my life's on the line, too, yeah, a few things. 	
 	Any advice to getting through this? 	Neutral 50 	First off, keep everyone together. Keep checking behind you, make sure your partners are following... {emph} don't let them wander. 	
 	Any advice to getting through this? 	Neutral 50 	Also, don't go running crazy everywhere. Almost every inch of this town is lethal. So if you're not sure, take it real slow. 	
 	Any advice to getting through this? 	Neutral 50 	And speaking of slow, don't go shouting, or attracting attention. Go quiet. The Ghost People find you, it's over. 	
 	The Gala Event's tied into the casino's generators? 	Anger 10 	{Frowns, remembers player doesn't know this} Right, look - so, not everything about the Villa was the pinnacle of bright ideas. 	
 	The Gala Event's tied into the casino's generators? 	Neutral 50 	In order to pull off the Gala, old Sinclair had to get creative... the Sierra Madre announcement, for example. Not just for the casino, not at all. 	
 	The Gala Event's tied into the casino's generators? 	Neutral 50 	The Gala's tied to the casino, draws on its power. Might cause it to reset itself, open the doors for a bit like it was supposed to. 	
 	What do you mean about the Sierra Madre broadcast? 	Neutral 50 	Well, Vera's beautiful voice doesn't run on casino power, exactly. Her broadcast is tied into the emergency broadcast signal for the Sierra Madre. 	
 	What do you mean about the Sierra Madre broadcast? 	Neutral 50 	You know, in case of attack? Well, guess what - the night of the Gala Event, the emergency signal went out all right. 	
 	What do you mean about the Sierra Madre broadcast? 	Neutral 50 	But because the broadcast had been hooked up to the Gala Event, instead of an emergency signal, you get Vera's voice on the radio. Great, huh? 	
 	So... it's not an invitation, it's a call for help. 	Sad 20 	Yeah. The Sierra Madre's last song, one only a few people are ever going to hear. A little sad, but what can you do? 	
 	I'm not following you. 	Neutral 50 	Odd Man out... dead weight. Someone you need holding the toolbox, the nurse passing the scalpel, the chauffer driving you to the concert. 	
 	I'm not following you. 	Neutral 50 	Any guy with {emph} hands is who he needs up on that rooftop. Guess he thinks I don't rate, looking like I do. {Beat} Poor him. 	
 	Wait, what Holograms? What are you talking about? 	Fear 10 	{Uneasy} Look... those ghosts are going to come out of the wings behind you in a second, the security types, {emph} not the "friendly" bald types. 	
 	Wait, what Holograms? What are you talking about? 	Neutral 50 	And if you got in here, the door's probably locked tight behind you - so {emph} don't back up or run for the exit, you're not going to make it. 	
 	So how do I get you out of there? 	Neutral 50 	Trust me - as soon as you can, run to the door to the {emph} left - use the key you got out of the music rag there, and camp out. 	
 	So how do I get you out of there? 	Neutral 50 	As bad as things are, it's going to get a lot worse if either of us pops - so get backstage... {under his breath} until we get a better plan. 	
 	All right, I'll break to my right, head for the locked door. 	Neutral 50 	{DUPE} Good, go, and don't get yourself killed - do that, and we're both done. 	
 	All right, I'll head for the door on the left. 	Neutral 50 	Good, go, and don't get yourself killed - do that, and we're both done. 	
 	All right, I'll head for the door on the left. 	Fear 10 	{Nervous} Look... just get rid of them, all right? Tried to slip off stage, then they all started changing color and raising their hands... {emph} not a good sign. {<Dean pleads to be rescued from the Theater's Holograms. He vanishes into the stage's scaffolding/hallways to hide away from them - Holograms are on>} 	
 	I need a little more than that to go on if we're going to break out of here. 	Neutral 50 	[SUCCEEDED] Uh... right. Uh... let's see... when you get the door open, there'll be an exit door dead ahead. {Emph} Don't take it. 	
 	I need a little more than that to go on if we're going to break out of here. 	Neutral 50 	It's most likely filled with toxins from the vents. So hug the wall, make as much space between you and the door... or it's Cloud Nine in a casket. {Or it's curtains for you.} 	
 	I need a little more than that to go on if we're going to break out of here. 	Neutral 50 	Past that... {thinking} is my dressing room. Under the table there's a footlocker. It's tucked back a bit, so you might miss it. Inside, a gun, some ammo. 	
 	I need a little more than that to go on if we're going to break out of here. 	Neutral 50 	Not much help against the ghosts, still, if you're about to give up, call it quits? {Beat, punchline} Throw it to {emph} me so I can eat a bullet first. 	
 	Uh... anything else you can tell me that'd help? Anything? 	Anger 10 	[FAILED] Anything else? I've told you all I can think of! Now, come on, get going. 	
 	This casino's security system is pissing me off. 	Fear 10 	{Slight nervous} You are preaching to the choir. Sinclair and his security... don't even get me started. Those Holograms... {Being slightly casual in his speech here, even though his life is in danger.} 	
 	Dean, the theater speakers are wired to a central sound system, right? 	Anger 10 	[SUCCEEDED] {Slight frustration - what's the player getting at?} Yeah... yeah, so what? We got bigger problems with the Holograms... no, no, wait, you're right. {Reverses his tone, realizes the player's thinking long term, which is smart.} 	
 	Dean, the theater speakers are wired to a central sound system, right? 	Anger 10 	{Frustrated} The Theater piped music and sound backstage, which means those little squealers are in the corridors back there, too. 	
 	What about the speakers in here? 	Anger 10 	[FAILED] {Urgent} What about them? The speakers won't kill you if you leave them alone, don't worry about them, just get backstage. {Increased urgency at the end, but won't raise his voice.} 	
 	Calm down, think. Do you know specifically where? 	Neutral 50 	Uh... let's see. Um, once you break right, watch each turn in the corridor, one'll be on your right past my dressing room - and up. 	
 	Calm down, think. Do you know specifically where? 	Neutral 50 	Oh, my dressing room - may have left the radio on, right by the table... uh, if you could just shut it off instead of blowing it u... uh, never mind. 	
 	Calm down, think. Do you know specifically where? 	Neutral 50 	{Remembering} And there was a speaker in the prop room, too - on the wall between the entrances. And... well, walk slow - there's bound to be more. 	
 	Getting backstage is a temporary measure if I can't find the security terminal. 	Neutral 50 	[SUCCEEDED] {Thinking} Yeah... yeah, right. So... let's see... security's here because the show hasn't started. Guests aren't allowed in, so... 	
 	Getting backstage is a temporary measure if I can't find the security terminal. 	Neutral 50 	...guess we need to start the show. Okay... so when they were setting this place up... we had rehearsals... 	
 	Getting backstage is a temporary measure if I can't find the security terminal. 	Anger 10 	{relaxes a bit} ...and heh... Sinclair even set up hologram recordings of the shows so we could watch and critique our performances before a fake audience. {Beat, slight anger} Whatever. {Slight anger at end, reminding himself he hates Sinclair.} 	
 	Getting backstage is a temporary measure if I can't find the security terminal. 	Neutral 50 	Thing is, when the recording queued up, a nice, calm, appreciative audience appeared in the Theater - no security with their head-blasting zap rays. 	
 	Getting backstage is a temporary measure if I can't find the security terminal. 	Neutral 50 	So, find the music, get it to the projector room upstairs, then play it...? Might reset security, worth a shot. 	
 	Yeah, but if I run, what about the Security Holograms? 	Neutral 50 	[FAILED] One thing at a time - and buying time is what we need, all right? Think in the now, it'll sort itself out. {Beat} I hope. 	
 	Good thing you mentioned that before I ran back there, "partner." 	Anger 10 	Look, I'm in danger here, all right, not exactly thinking with a level head, so cut me some slack. {Beat} Please. {Genuinely sorry at the end, realizes player could leave him out to dry.} 	
 	That's the radios and speakers - what about a central sound system? 	Neutral 50 	The speakers are all controlled by a central console. {Thinking} It's the farthest from the only door out of here... 	
 	That's the radios and speakers - what about a central sound system? 	Neutral 50 	...so you'd need to do a full circuit of the corridor to get to it. Once there, you'll need to shut it down, and I don't have the code. 	
 	That's the radios and speakers - what about a central sound system? 	Neutral 50 	If you have the code, you can turn off {emph} all the speakers, make them settle down. Getting backstage should buy us time, just take it slow. 	
 	All right, makes sense. Where's the music? 	Neutral 50 	The Holotape should be where I left it... no, wait. It's... it's in Vera's dressing room, probably. May... may be a key to her room on my desk. 	
 	All right, makes sense. Where's the music? 	Neutral 50 	Anyway... snag the key out of my room, and look around Vera's room, the Holotape has to be there. As for getting it to the projection booth... 	
 	All right, makes sense. Where's the music? 	Neutral 50 	Well... sometimes Vera used to watch from the projection booth, so she must have had a master key... look around her room, might be there. 	
 	Wait - I need to head to the door to your left or my left? 	Neutral 50 	[SUCCEEDED] What? Oh, my left - your right. So, yeah, run to the door on your right. {Beat} Heh, almost got you killed there. {To himself} Us killed there. 	
 	So I go to the locked door, right? 	Neutral 50 	[FAILED] Right, the locked door to the left. Watch out, the guards are going to materialize in any second, crouch and take it slow. 	
 	What are you doing with a key to her room? 	Disgust 10 	Do I have to spell it out? Come on. Time's wasting, and those Holograms are going to be on us any second. 	
 	The key is a song by Vera Keyes. 	Surprise 20	What? Are you sure? {Beat, realizes} That song... that stupid song of hers... no, that makes perfect sense. 	
 	The key is a song by Vera Keyes. 	Disgust 10 	And it was always playing here in the casino... dammit, if I'd only brought a recording inside... so, what, you're trying to recover it? 	
 	Fine with me. Come on, let's settle this. 	Happy 10 	Oh, I'm not going to fight you - I'm going to let {emph} security show you out. Didn't see anyone come in? Well... they'll be here soon. 	
 	The song still exists in fragments in the Sierra Madre archives on each floor. 	Neutral 50 	Guess Vera echoes down through the ages, then. Sierra Madre hasn't completely forgotten her. 	
 	The song still exists in fragments in the Sierra Madre archives on each floor. 	Anger 20 	{Frowns} So that's why you showed... you wanted what was in the music archives on this floor, hook up the signal. Nice. 	
 	And the collars? You sound awfully eager to kill someone whose life is tied to yours. 	Neutral 50 	[SUCCEEDED] No... no... the collars... I know what happened now. Sure, mine activated... but it feels different, the electronic tapdance inside. 	
 	And the collars? You sound awfully eager to kill someone whose life is tied to yours. 	Neutral 50 	I can kill you and still make it out while security is busy frying you to a crisp. Hands are clean, then smooth sailing to the Sierra Madre. 	
 	What about the collars, huh? Kill me, and... 	Neutral 50 	[FAILED] No... I know how the collars behave now, in here anyway. At least the Sierra Madre gave me {emph} that. 	
 	What about the collars, huh? Kill me, and... 	Happy 10 	I should be thankful, in a second, it'll give me another gift - with any luck, security'll leave enough of your ashes for an urn on my mantle. 	
 	<Lie> I'm not sure how to do it yet. You said you had a recording outside? 	Neutral 50 	Well, yeah in the Villa. {More to himself} But I have one inside, too. 	
 	<Lie> I'm not sure how to do it yet. You said you had a recording outside? 	Neutral 50 	We can talk about that later, though, it's not important right now... you came for me, any sign of the others? {A little cagier here, is trying to figure out if Christine is alive.} 	
 	The one who put these collars on us wanted me to deal with everyone first. 	Disgust 10 	Figures... wish he'd show himself, although I'm betting he's not doing that until we've cracked the vault. 	
 	The one who put these collars on us wanted me to deal with everyone first. 	Neutral 50 	{Thinking} That means we'll still need a copy of the song to get into the vault... and after all I went through to smuggle a copy inside. 	
 	The one who put these collars on us wanted me to deal with everyone first. 	Surprise 10	Wait... you said this guy wanted you to deal with all of us first? What, is everyone else here? {Realizes what the player just said.} 	
 	Wait - you said you have one inside? Where's the song recording you have? 	Neutral 50 	It's safe. I hope. Right now, let's focus on getting everyone {emph} else to safety, all right? Everybody else all right? 	
 	Christine is alive. Dog... well... 	Neutral 50 	Forget that walking stomach, not interested in being his lunch... just glad the girl's all right. Where is she? Is she here? 	
 	Christine is alive. Dog... well... 	Neutral 50 	Wait... no, if the Sierra Madre assigned people to floors, she's got to have been sent to Vera's room, right? That's irony for you. 	
 	Christine is alive. Dog... well... 	Neutral 50 	Perfect, couldn't have worked out better. 	
 	Christine is dead. Dog... well... 	Anger 20 	{Frustrated} Dead? For the love of... this whole heist was a gamble anyway. So much for back-up plans. 	
 	<Lie> If by "recording inside" you meant Christine, she's dead. 	Anger 20 	{DUPE: Frustrated} Dead? For the love of... Chopping up her voice box was a gamble anyway. So much for back-up plans. 	
 	If by "recording inside," you meant Christine, she's dead. 	Neutral 50 	Figured that out, huh? Clever. 	
 	The one who put these collars on us wanted me to deal with everyone first. 	Neutral 50 	Figures... wish he'd show himself, although I'm betting he's not doing that until we've cracked the vault. 	
 	The one who put these collars on us wanted me to deal with everyone first. 	Neutral 50 	{Thinking} That means we'll still need a copy of the song to get into the vault... and after all I went through to smuggle a copy inside. 	
 	The one who put these collars on us wanted me to deal with everyone first. 	Neutral 50 	Wait... you said this guy wanted you to deal with all of us first? What, is everyone else here? {Realizes what the player just said.} 	
 	No - believe it or not, I wasn't going to leave you to die. 	Neutral 50 	You know... people can still surprise me. All right, I believe you. You got spine. {Raises an eyebrow} Guess the bombs left a little human goodwill behind. 	
 	If it means I can get out of this alive, yes, that's why I'm here. 	Neutral 50 	At least you're honest, can't blame you. I'd have done the same if there was a trigger to my head... or a collar on my neck. 	
 	Yes, that's the next step. You going to be all right? 	Neutral 50 	{Brushoff, needs player to leave} I'll be fine, don't worry about me. Go on ahead, I'm going to try and unwind. 	
 	Now that I've got the signal established to this floor, yes. 	Neutral 50 	All right - well, thanks for bailing me out. 	
 	<Do Not Translate: Additional Storage Nodes> 	Neutral 50 	So - what, you're heading to the main terminal now that you've got this floor unlocked? 	
 	<Do Not Translate: Additional Storage Nodes> 	Anger 10 	{Frowns} Hnh. You got a point. {Frowns, warning} You better not let me down. Try and get into the Sierra Madre without me? You'll wish you hadn't. {< Weighing the player's offer, makes sense. >} 	
 	<Do Not Translate: Additional Storage Nodes> 	Neutral 50 	{Slight hesitation} All right... look, if the Holograms are here to keep me company, then... I don't mind staying here for a while. 	
 	<Do Not Translate: Additional Storage Nodes> 	Disgust 10 	But listen... {Frowns, warning} when this thing goes off, try and get into the Sierra Madre without me? You'll wish you hadn't. {< Weighing the player's offer, makes sense. >} 	
 	Wait, you were trying to smuggle one inside? Where is it? 	Neutral 50 	It's safe. I hope. Right now, let's focus on getting everyone {emph} else to safety, all right? Everybody else all right? 	
 	If you were using Christine's voice box to smuggle Vera's voice in, she's dead. 	Neutral 50 	And here I thought I was being clever. {To himself} Teach me to hold my cards a little closer to the chest... whole heist was a gamble anyway. 	
 	If you were using Christine's voice box to smuggle Vera's voice in, she's dead. 	Neutral 50 	Still... there's a way to recover the song from the Sierra Madre archives, right? Just set up links to each floor, then use the lobby terminal? 	
 	<Lie> If Christine's throat surgery was your plan, too late, she's dead. 	Surprise 50	[SUCCEEDED] Dead? After all I went through... after all that hauling her body through the streets? 	
 	<Lie> If Christine's throat surgery was your plan, too late, she's dead. 	Disgust 20 	[FAILED] Really... "partner." Now, now... you can't pull one over on Dean... but you tried, didn't you? 	
 	<Lie> If Christine's throat surgery was your plan, too late, she's dead. 	Anger 10 	So you don't want to share... keep her from me, huh? All we have to do is make her sing, and it's all ours. 	
 	<Lie> If Christine's throat surgery was your plan, too late, she's dead. 	Neutral 50 	Although... why lie to me? I'm hurt. I mean, we don't even {emph} need her if you get the terminals live, and the music kicking. 	
 	Christine is alive. Dog... well... 	Neutral 50 	Forget that walking stomach, not interested in being his lunch... just glad the girl's all right. Where is she? Is she here? 	
 	Christine is alive. Dog... well... 	Neutral 50 	Wait... no, if the Sierra Madre assigned people to floors, she's got to have been sent to Vera's room, right? That's irony for you. 	
 	Christine is alive. Dog... well... 	Neutral 50 	Perfect, couldn't have worked out better. So - what, you're heading to the main terminal now that you've got this floor unlocked? 	
 	Christine is dead. Dog... well... 	Disgust 20 	{Frustrated} Dead? For the love of... chopping up her voice box was a gamble anyway. So much for back-up plans. 	
 	Christine is dead. Dog... well... 	Neutral 50 	Still... there's a way to recover the song from the Sierra Madre archives, right? Just set up links to each floor, then use the lobby terminal? 	
 	Still trying to find out. Not sure. 	Neutral 50 	All right... even if they all end up dead, though, you say there's a way to recover the song from the Sierra Madre archives. 	
 	Still trying to find out. Not sure. 	Neutral 50 	Just set up links to each floor, then use the lobby terminal to tie it all together? Easy. Just a little legwork. 	
 	I found this Holotape in your safe. 	Anger 10 	Yeah? Little bit of two-reel memories... we're here to steal from the Sierra Madre, not from each other. {Player found a blackmail tape Dean used for heist.} 	
 	Were you blackmailing Vera Keyes to break into the Sierra Madre? 	Neutral 50 	Blackmail is such a strong word. I asked her, she said yes, then... she started to get cold feet. 	
 	Were you blackmailing Vera Keyes to break into the Sierra Madre? 	Neutral 50 	I blame Sinclair... he was such a victim, that maybe she felt it would be too easy... it doesn't matter. 	
 	What did you want her to do? 	Neutral 50 	Sinclair built this whole town to accommodate her. Same with the casino's voice lock. He wanted to make sure she had access to everything. 	
 	What did you want her to do? 	Neutral 50 	And since I already had access to Vera... well, that meant I had access to the vault, too. 	
 	What were you blackmailing her with? 	Neutral 50 	What {emph} wasn't I blackmailing her with. {Flippant} Chem use, indiscretions, more chem use... the usual Hollywood tune. 	
 	What were you blackmailing her with? 	Neutral 50 	Like Sinclair, people are the architects of their own misfortunes. Leave themselves wide open for someone to waltz right in and take what they want. 	
 	What were you blackmailing her with? 	Neutral 50 	As long as they take a single step into the trap. Get a few pictures, get a little dirt, and that person's your piano. 	
 	What were you blackmailing her with? 	Disgust 10 	Vera? Med-X was her thing, even Superstimmed herself for the after-rush. Sick. {Superstimmed is a chem, supposed to heal chronic damage and suppress pain. Causes a damaging numbing affer-effect.} 	
 	Really? What makes you think you can slip out? 	Happy 10 	{Smug, dismissive} Way I figure it, you'll try and run for the exit, and only I know where the key is - and where the safest place in the whole theater is: backstage. 	
 	Really? What makes you think you can slip out? 	Neutral 50 	You, you're trapped down there, and you couldn't shut off the speakers, unlock the doors, or cancel security if you tried. 	
 	I guess I should have figured you'd have an escape plan. Clever. 	Happy 10 	{Smug} I'm not a betting man, I've come too far to leave it to chance. 	
 	So as long as I make sure I don't run for the exit... 	Fear 10 	{Uneasy} What... what now? Try and come back {emph} here? 	
 	So as long as I make sure I don't run for the exit... 	Fear 10 	{Uneasy} No, you belong out in the audience... I mean, not like... uh... you could get backstage. That key you snagged, it won't work. 	
 	Really? You're a terrible liar. See you soon, Dean. 	Anger 20 	{Frustrated} Of all the... where the hell are those stupid Holograms already? {Beat} Even if you get back here, you won't live long, trust me. 	
 	If I clear out all the Ghost People in the area, will you change your mind? 	Neutral 50 	No, you want to know why? Because there's more beneath the streets, in the buildings, and oh - everywhere else. 	
 	If I clear out all the Ghost People in the area, will you change your mind? 	Neutral 50 	They hear anything out of the ordinary, especially "music" screaming through the speakers when I close the connection? They'll be here, fast. 	
 	All right. What's it going to take? 	Disgust 20 	Take? It's not going to take anything because you couldn't {emph} offer me anything to stay here. 	
 	All right. What's it going to take? 	Neutral 50 	The Ghost People'll come out of the woodwork when the Gala Event starts blaring, and when they see me trapped up here? It's curtains for Dean. 	
 	The Villa has Holograms everywhere. If I switch on some to cover the area... 	Neutral 50 	[SUCCEEDED] Well... yeah. If the Hologram systems still work, that'd do the trick. 	
 	The Villa has Holograms everywhere. If I switch on some to cover the area... 	Neutral 50 	Okay... all right, you call up some of those Old World stiffs, that'd be an audience I wouldn't mind having below. 	
 	What if I can guarantee they won't come into the courtyard below? 	Fear 20 	[FAILED] Yeah, and how can you guarantee that? I'm not waiting here alone, trust me. 	
 	What if I can guarantee they won't come into the courtyard below? 	Neutral 50 	I mean, if I had a few of those Holograms... or a few hundred... surrounding me, maybe. I'd settle for two, enough to cover a quick exit. 	
 	I could just throw you off the roof. What about that? 	Fear 10 	You're full of it - you kill me, we both die. You wouldn't dare. 	
 	I could just throw you off the roof. What about that? 	Neutral 50 	So you leaving me here? No dice, not going to happen, and nothing you can say will change my mind. 	
 	Let me hunt around, maybe there's something I can do to protect the area. 	Anger 10 	{Frowns} You can look all you want... I still feel safer with a pair of Hologram escorts to make it through the area. 	
 	I switched on two Holograms to cover the courtyard, those should protect you. 	Neutral 50 	{Thinking} You powered the Holograms up? {Beat} Well... yeah, that's pretty good protection. {To himself} Sure worked at the fountain, Vera kept the Ghost People away. 	
 	I switched on two Holograms to cover the courtyard, those should protect you. 	Fear 10 	{Uneasy} But, uh... how do I know the power won't suddenly go out? And... I don't know, this still sounds risky to me. {Emph} For me. 	
 	Okay, let me see if I can reactivate the Holograms. 	Neutral 50 	If I remember correctly, there should be two Holograms you can switch on in the area... just don't remember how. 	
 	Okay, let me see if I can reactivate the Holograms. 	Neutral 50 	Do that, and I'll consider waiting on the rooftop. Maybe. 	
 	I don't need to kill you, you know. 	Surprise 10	{Slight surprise, confused} What? What are you talking about? 	
 	{THEATER: 1st Time, Hates player}How did you get from the Gala Event to here? 	Anger 20 	{Sounds like dupe of another line, isn't, this one's angrier, smug} Me? I was halfway off the rooftop, through the service tunnel and bee-lining for the gate before the light show started... 	
 	{THEATER: 1st Time, Hates player}How did you get from the Gala Event to here? 	Neutral 50 	...and before Vera finished her Gala speech... I knew what'd happen with "music" in the streets and lights in the sky... Ghost People. Lots of them. 	
 	{THEATER: 1st Time, Hates player}How did you get from the Gala Event to here? 	Surprise 10	But that was your problem. {Beat} Anyway, front gate was open, no way I was letting {emph} you get in first. {Slight confusion} I walk in... there's a flash... and I'm here. 	
 	{THEATER: 1st Time, Hates player}How did you get from the Gala Event to here? 	Neutral 50 	Must have been Sinclair's security... he always had a thing about letting any threats into the casino. Security system's twitchy that way. 	
 	{THEATER: 1st Time, Hates player}How did you get from the Gala Event to here? 	Happy 10 	{Smug} Me, though, I'm a guest here, so I guess I got the royal treatment after all. 	
 	I could break both your legs, leave you here on the roof. 	Disgust 10 	{Wary} You wouldn't. You need me to strike up the sparking chords there. Breaking my legs isn't any way to get {emph} me to dance. 	
 	No, it only means I wouldn't come back for you. Ever. 	Anger 10 	You wouldn't... {frowns} no, yeah, you would. I would. If I thought you screaming wouldn't attract more of the locals. 	
 	No, it only means I wouldn't come back for you. Ever. 	Anger 50 	All right, I'll stay here. For now. But you leave me high and dry, make a run for the Sierra Madre? You'll pay for it, I promise you. {Suspicious, warning.} 	
 	If you don't do this, I'll go shut off the Holograms now. 	Surprise 20	What? You wouldn't. I mean... no, wait, you would. You don't bluff, ever since you first showed up in the Villa and we chatted. 	
 	If you don't do this, I'll go shut off the Holograms now. 	Neutral 50 	No... you wouldn't. You're not the type. Even when you first showed up in the Villa, you didn't threaten me. 	
 	If you don't do this, I'll go shut off the Holograms now. 	Neutral 50 	You just let me talk, not even letting on that our collars were linked, when all you had to do was tell me that to get me to come along. 	
 	If you don't do this, I'll go shut off the Holograms now. 	Neutral 50 	So... no, I don't think you'll shut them off. You don't threaten people, not your way. 	
 	Dean... a man with cold feet isn't someone I'd share a bed with. 	Disgust 10 	Wait, hold on. I didn't say I was scared. {Snorts} Heh, heh. Cold feet? Don't be ridiculous. I've played to worse crowds than this, I can hold the fort here. 	
 	I'm not about to trade your life for mine, got it? Remember the collars. 	Neutral 50 	[SUCCEEDED] {DUPE: Reluctant, convincing} Well... yeah. You got a point. 	
 	Look, what do you want to do this? 	Neutral 50 	[FAILED] What do I want? I want a little more insurance than some Old World Villa construction to guard me, all right? 	
 	Don't trust me? Then trust our collars. I die, you die. Got it? 	Neutral 50 	[SUCCEEDED] {DUPE: Reluctant, convincing} Well... yeah. You got a point. 	
 	Just trust me, all right? 	Neutral 50 	[FAILED] Trust you? Right. You're not the one who has to sit up here and wait for the Ghost People to show. 	
 	Vera's stayed powered up since the bombs fell... those Holograms will, too. 	Neutral 50 	[SUCCEEDED] {Reluctant, convincing} Well... yeah. You got a point. 	
 	I think you can count on the Holograms, okay? 	Neutral 50 	[FAILED] {Skeptical} Really? You're not the one standing up here waiting for the Ghost People to show, all right? 	
 	You must know me enough by now to know I'm not going to put you in danger. 	Anger 10 	Oh, right, after all the "we'll both blow up if you don't do as I say" talk we first had. Not put me in danger? Right. 	
 	You must know me enough by now to know I'm not going to put you in danger. 	Neutral 50 	Yeah... yeah, you're right. You didn't have to switch on those Holograms, and you did. 	
 	You must know me enough by now to know I'm not going to put you in danger. 	Neutral 50 	Even when you first showed up in the Villa, you didn't threaten me, were just willing to cooperate to get through this. Hnh. 	
 	There's a Hologram guarding the courtyard below, you're covered. 	Fear 10 	Unless he's got a friend, no dice. Nobody relies on a single escape route unless they want to get caught. 	
 	There's a Hologram guarding the courtyard below, you're covered. 	Fear 10 	{DUPE} Unless he's got a friend, no dice. Nobody relies on a single escape route unless they want to get caught. 	
 	NVDLC01DeanDialogueShortcut 	Neutral 50 	Don't have to take the long way back - there's a shortcut across the way, you see. {Dean has just joined the party, they're striking up a conversation.} 	
 	NVDLC01DeanDialogueShortcut 	Neutral 50 	It's through the Cloud - but if I'm with you, I can help you through it. {To himself, the player better not have} If you didn't already force the lock to the gate, that is. 	
 	NVDLC01DeanDialogueSitInvite 	Neutral 50 	Have a seat - came all this way, least I can do is let you rest your feet for a second. 	
 	NVDLC01DeanDialogueSitInvite 	Neutral 50 	Just sit there on my little casting couch - more a chair, really, but I prefer up-and-comers to relax when I interview them. 	
 	NVDLC01DeanDialogueSitInvite 	Disgust 10 	You're my guest. If you're going to be rude, you can show yourself out. {little quieter} Probably won't tap-dance no more when you leave, but that's on you. 	
 	NVDLC01DeanDialogueSitInvite 	Neutral 50 	You standing there is making me nervous. Sit down, will you? 	
 	NVDLC01DeanDialogueSitInvite 	Neutral 50 	Have a seat. 	
 	NVDLC01DeanHolotapeBlackmail 	Happy 50 	{Dean walking in on Vera as she's getting ready} Pretty as a picture. {<AUDIO: Holotape Filter for whole topic. No ghoul filter for Dean.>A recording of Dean walking into Vera's dressing room, predatory, blackmail.} 	
 	NVDLC01DeanHolotapeBlackmail 	Happy 20 	I'm not wearing my dancing shoes, so I walk a little softly now. {Mock menacing} What, you think I was a Chinaman, come to cut your American throat? {Holotape recording, tense, Dean's here to insure Vera's cooperation in the heist.} 	
 	NVDLC01DeanHolotapeBlackmail 	Surprise 10	{Slightly predatory} What... no hug? Come here. {Holotape recording, tense, Dean's here to insure Vera's cooperation in the heist.} 	
 	NVDLC01DeanHolotapeBlackmail 	Neutral 50 	You sing like a bird, pop the safe, and we're as through as through can be. {Holotape recording, tense, Dean's here to insure Vera's cooperation in the heist.} 	
 	NVDLC01DeanHolotapeBlackmail 	Anger 10 	{Vera's starting to get cold feet, Dean doesn't like this} You don't know? I ask one simple favor of you, and you tell me "no?" {Holotape recording, tense, Dean's here to insure Vera's cooperation in the heist.} 	
 	NVDLC01DeanHolotapeBlackmail 	Anger 20 	You're right, you don't think. {Cold, angry. Holotape recording, getting tenser. Dean's about to tell Vera she's going to do the job, no matter what.} 	
 	NVDLC01DeanHolotapeBlackmail 	Anger 20 	I don't need you - I'll send you back to the farm, worse off than you were, because you'll have seen the Sierra Madre, and had to let it {emph} all go. {Holotape recording, getting tenser. Dean's about to tell Vera she's going to do the job, no matter what.} 	
 	NVDLC01DeanHolotapeBlackmail 	Anger 10 	I could have gotten any leggy dame out of Hollywood to get out here and play Sinclair's heart strings. {Holotape recording, getting tenser. Dean's about to tell Vera she's going to do the job, no matter what. "Holowood" intentional.} 	
 	NVDLC01DeanHolotapeBlackmail 	Disgust 10 	You just happened to be the one I caught, and it was really your own fault, a little too much into the chems and meds, and... {Holotape recording, getting tenser. Dean's about to tell Vera she's going to do the job, no matter what.} 	
 	NVDLC01DeanHolotapeBlackmail 	Neutral 50 	{Placating, but still leaving the hooks in} Aw, shhh, don't cry. Look, I'm not trying to hurt {emph} you. Just one last little job, a little less dirty, a little less messy. He trusts you, Vera. {Holotape recording, now Dean's softening her up, realizes he doesn't need her as an emotional wreck... now.} 	
 	NVDLC01DeanHolotapeBlackmail 	Neutral 50 	{Placating, but cold} And so do I. After this, I promise you, all those other Holotapes, they'll go away. {Holotape recording, final doomed note here. Dean's lying, he'll never stop using her or the blackmail.} 	
 	NVDLC01DeanTheaterOpenConvoPlayerHatedBark 	Anger 20 	{Gloating a bit} Hey... guess who finally showed. {Malicious} You weren't on the guest list. Guess I'll need to call security, have them show you the door. {Dean warns PC they made a deadly mistake coming to get him at Theater. Invites player to become acquainted with (Holograms).} 	
 	NVDLC01DeanTheaterOpenConvoPlayerLikedBark 	Fear 10 	{Relieved to see a familiar face} You... partner, are you a sight for sore eyes. Unfriendly crowd tonight, in a lethal way - if you could calm the house down, I'd be grateful. {Dean's anxious, hemmed in by lethal holograms set to kill, glad to see player, hoping the PC can bail him out.} 	
 	NVDLC01DeanTheaterPlayerHatedBarkTopic01 	Anger 10 	{Slightly irritated, still superior} Now, now... that's {emph} my room. You want your own dressing room, you have to work for it. {Dean admonishes, cynically, player when he/she goes into Dean's old dressing room in the backstage of the Theater} 	
 	NVDLC01DeanTheaterPlayerHatedBarkTopic02 	Surprise 20	{Terminal blows up} What the blazes... piece of junk! {Beat, cold, gets it} You rigged that terminal, didn't you. Didn't want security showing you out, eh? We'll see. {Dean curses, insulting the old Stage Manager's computer terminal (in the closed area of the backstage), after it blows up when he tried to use it.} 	
 	NVDLC01DeanTheaterPlayerHatedBarkTopic03 	Anger 20 	{Cold} So... can't leave well enough alone, have to enter Vera's room. Some things are better left in the past, "partner." {Player enters another dressing room backstage of a long-dead starlet Dean used to know.} 	
 	NVDLC01DeanTheaterPlayerHatedBarkTopic04 	Fear 5 	{Slightly unnerved, player's about to break his last line of defense} Don't do it. Leave that projector alone - I'm warning you. {Dean threatens PC to stop triggering the event that will disable his last line of defense against the player.} 	
 	NVDLC01DeanTheaterPlayerHatedBarkTopic05 	Anger 10 	{Slow, then challenging, bravado} So... you think you have what it takes to beat {emph} me, on {emph} my stage, in {emph} my town? Come on down, we'll see. {Dean challenges, in an act of desperation, the player to come down and hunt him.} 	
 	NVDLC01DeanTheaterPlayerLikedBarkTopic01 	Happy 10 	{Happy, excusing, then defensive} Hey, you found my old room. I mean, it's a little small... and hey, watch the hands in there, I remember where I left {emph} everything, got it? 	
 	NVDLC01DeanTheaterPlayerLikedBarkTopic02 	Surprise 10	{Working on a computer, trying to shut it down} Hnh. Maybe I can shut down these ghosts using the Stage Manager's old termin... {blows up} dammit! {Beat, frowns} Well, so much for that idea. {Dean curses, insulting old Stage Manager's computer (backstage), after blows up when tried to disable Holograms. PC's only chance to escape alive.} 	
 	NVDLC01DeanTheaterPlayerLikedBarkTopic03 	Happy 10 	{Encouraged} Hey, you're making real progress, good. {Realizes the player's close to uncovering dirty laundry, so masks it behind "show some respect"} Uh, look that's... Vera's room, so careful what you touch in there, be respectful. {Dean excited the player is making headway, even if hesitant to share his old life's links when player discovers Vera's dressing room backstage.}	
 	NVDLC01DeanTheaterPlayerLikedBarkTopic04 	Fear 10 	{Urgent} All right, now calm the audience down and let's go home. {Beat, under his breath} And when my part plays, no cracking jokes - that was the hairstyle back then, all right? {Dean urges the player to hurry up in disabling the Theater's Hologram security, cracks joke about seeing old self perform in holograms.} 	
 	NVDLC01DeanTheaterPlayerLikedBarkTopic05 	Happy 10 	Oh, man... nice job. Good thing {emph} I was distracting them while you flicked them off. {Puffing up} We're a good team - I run the show while you run the box office. {Dean's jubilant when the Holograms vanish. He congratulates the player, although trying to make himself appear as having been stronger than he was i} 	
 	NVDLC01DeanTheaterRandomPleadTopic01 	Fear 10 	Hurry, would you? Get me out of this mess. {Beat} Got to sue my agent for this. {Dean, noticeably scared, urges the player to get him out of the Hologram mess.} 	
 	NVDLC01DeanTheaterRandomPleadTopic02 	Fear 10 	Get me out of here, they've got me trapped! {Dean, panicking, pleads to the player to save his life.} 	
 	NVDLC01DeanTheaterRandomPleadTopic03 	Fear 10 	{To himself} Hold it together, Dean, you've been in worse jams. Like Madrid. {Reflecting} Christ - Madrid. {Tries to calm himself down in the middle of being pinned down.} 	
 	NVDLC01DeanTheaterRandomTauntTopic01 	Disgust 10 	{Taunt} How long you think you can keep dancing around out there? Song's going to end soon, you along with it. {Dean, a flicker of doubt in his voice, curses at the player for not having died yet.} 	
 	NVDLC01DeanTheaterRandomTauntTopic02 	Disgust 20 	{Taunt} You won't get out of here alive. Even if you reach me, you don't have the guts to fight. {Dean, irritated that the player is still alive, taunts his/her resolve.} 	
 	NVDLC01DeanTheaterRandomTauntTopic03 	Disgust 20 	I'm calling the tune here - this is my theater, my show, I've waited my life to get back here. You? Not even worth the time it'd take to kill you. {Dean, pretends to have the upper hand against the player, defying him/her to hurry up and die.} 	
 	NVDLC01DeanTheaterToSelfOverTopic01 	Neutral 50 	I am out of here... well, not to the Villa, just out of the damn theater first chance I get. 	
 	NVDLC01DeanTheaterToSelfOverTopic02 	Neutral 50 	Got to say this for Sinclair, he sure knew how to keep things locked down, the tight-assed prick. 	
 	NVDLC01DeanTheaterToSelfOverTopic03 	Disgust 10 	{Under his breath, after battle in the theater} Not going to be performing here again, that's for sure. 	
 	NVDLC01DeanTheaterToSelfPlayerHatedTopic01 	Anger 20 	{Looking around} Hnh. Theater's almost the same as it was. 	
 	NVDLC01DeanTheaterToSelfPlayerHatedTopic02 	Anger 20 	{Looking around} This place... hasn't changed at all. 	
 	NVDLC01DeanTheaterToSelfPlayerHatedTopic03 	Anger 50 	Wonder what happened to the suckers. {Frowns} Might have gotten taken away, like I did? 	
 	NVDLC01DeanTheaterToSelfPlayerHatedTopic04 	Fear 10 	That audience... better lay low, get a feel for the crowd. 	
 	NVDLC01DeanTheaterToSelfPlayerHatedTopic05 	Neutral 50 	Good thing, someone walks in here, they're toast. 	
 	NVDLC01DeanTheaterToSelfPlayerLikedTopic01 	Disgust 50 	{Frustrated} First time on stage in a hundred years, and it has to be this? 	
 	NVDLC01DeanTheaterToSelfPlayerLikedTopic02 	Neutral 50 	{Looking around} Hnh. Theater's almost the same as it was. 	
 	NVDLC01DeanTheaterToSelfPlayerLikedTopic03 	Surprise 50	Where the hell did everyone else go? 	
 	NVDLC01DeanTheaterToSelfPlayerLikedTopic04 	Fear 50 	Need some help here... and that audience is {emph} not looking friendly. 	
 	NVDLC01DeanTheaterToSelfPlayerLikedTopic05 	Neutral 50 	Hope my partner fared better than I did... better not have left me high and dry, get-even's not going to be pretty. 	
 	NVDLC01DeanToChristineTopic01 	Happy 50 	So... what's your story, beautiful? 	
 	NVDLC01DeanToChristineTopic01 	Neutral 50 	Don't... uh... don't talk much, do you? 	
 	NVDLC01DeanToChristineTopic01 	Anger 10 	{Sighs, irritated at being rebuffed} All right, then. I'll just wallflower it over here. 	
 	NVDLC01DeanToChristineTopic02 	Fear 10 	{Gently bringing it up, worried she remembers him} Eh... those scars? What happened, somebody... something carve you up, or...? 	
 	NVDLC01DeanToChristineTopic02 	Neutral 50 	{Testing the waters} Damn shame, hate to think if someone put you in there. Who bailed you out again, the new guy? Interesting. 	
 	NVDLC01DeanToChristineTopic03 	Neutral 50 	Look, you obviously {emph} hear good - even if you aren't much of a talker. 	
 	NVDLC01DeanToChristineTopic03 	Surprise 10	Don't get me wrong, that's a plus in my book. 	
 	NVDLC01DeanToChristineTopic03 	Neutral 50 	Still, are you getting any shred of your voice healed up, or...? Like anything? 	
 	NVDLC01DeanToChristineTopic03 	Neutral 50 	Look, you obviously {emph} hear good - even if you aren't much of a talker. 	
 	NVDLC01DeanToDogTopic01 	Surprise 20	Where the hell did you get this one. "Dog?" What, so you don't forget your name? 	
 	NVDLC01DeanToDogTopic01 	Neutral 50 	A little slow, huh? Uh... Dean. Dean Domino. I... live here. 	
 	NVDLC01DeanToDogTopic01 	Anger 10 	All right, pal, you stay in your corner, I'll stay in mine. {Beat} Do not leave me alone with this thing. 	
 	NVDLC01DeanToDogTopic02 	Anger 50 	Why are you so carved up - {frowns, a little incredulous} that a {emph} bear trap on your arm? 	
 	NVDLC01DeanToDogTopic02 	Disgust 10 	Eh... wait, so you're not just slow, you're screwy, too? {Rolls eyes} Some crew we are... we are never getting into the Sierra Madre. 	
 	NVDLC01DeanToDogTopic02 	Anger 50 	Don't like the way this guy is looking at me. You better be his leash. 	
 	NVDLC01DeanToDogTopic03 	Anger 50 	{Getting angry} Stop looking at me, you idiot. I can hear your stomach growling from here, I don't like it. 	
 	NVDLC01DeanToDogTopic03 	Anger 50 	That a bet you want to take? Cause I'll see that and raise you a few bullets to the skull. 	
 	NVDLC01DeanToDogTopic03 	Anger 20 	I hope you've got this one under control, because he's giving me a nasty itch on my trigger finger. 	
 	NVDLC01DeanVaultHelpTopic01 	Surprise 10	{Uncertain of controls} Is... is this thing on? You hear me down there? {Beat, studying dials} Trying to help you out here... disable the speakers, play a little music... {<AUDIO: Dean speaks through player's radio-collar.><Dean tells the player that he's trying to disable the Vault's security speakers.>} 	
 	NVDLC01DeanVaultHelpTopic01 	Happy 10 	{snaps fingers as music kicks in, ohhh yeah} ...and that's more like it, got a beat you can swing to. {Beat} And they won't set off your collar any more - {lower, tougher} just hit that guy where it hurts. {<AUDIO: Radio collar. Dean succeeds in disabling the Vault's security speakers.>} 	
 	NVDLC01DeanVaultHelpTopic02 	Happy 10 	{snaps fingers as music kicks in, ohhh yeah} ...and that's more like it, got a beat you can swing to. {Beat} And they won't set off your collar any more - {lower, tougher} just hit that guy where it hurts. {<AUDIO: Radio collar. Dean succeeds in disabling the Vault's security speakers.>} 	
 	NVDLC01ETDeanBellTowerBark 	Neutral 50 	I'm not one for church, but there's a bell tower to the north that has a nice view of the Sierra Madre. {To himself, remembering the Cloud} Well, did, anyway. {<Dean tells the player that he's seen a bell tower to the north that should have an excellent view of the casino>} 	
 	NVDLC01ETDeanGasBark 	Neutral 50 	{Sniffing air} You smell gas? I smell gas. {Beat} Might be a valve nearby, we can use it to torch any locals that come near us. {<Dean smells gas, wonders if there is a useful gas valve nearby>} 	
 	NVDLC01ETDeanHouseBark 	Disgust 10 	Surprised these homes weren't robbed blind, folks leaving the key out like that. {Beat, grumbles} If only the Sierra Madre'd done the same. {<Snarky comment about the house key being left outside of the locked door>} 	
 	NVDLC01ETDeanSierraMadre 	Neutral 50 	{Whistles softly, appreciating} Now, {emph} there's a view. {To casino} Hello, beautiful. {<Stepping out onto the roof with the view of the Sierra Madre, Dean makes a comment about the view>} 	
 	NVDLC01EndingDean 	Neutral 50 	{Dean Dead: Narration, a little wistful at the memory} Dean Domino, entertainer, singer... thief... had his last show on the Sierra Madre stage. {Dean is dead, narrating what happened to him at the end of the game when the end credits play.} 	
 	NVDLC01EndingDean 	Neutral 50 	{Narration} The heist he spent over two hundred years planning fell apart, just as the first, by underestimating his partner's strength. 	
 	NVDLC01EndingDean 	Neutral 50 	{Narration} Not long after the Courier left the Villa, the lights in the theater shut off, one by one. 	
 	NVDLC01EndingDean 	Neutral 50 	{Narration} Only Dean's Hologram remained on stage, singing silently to an empty room. 	
 	NVDLC01EndingDean 	Neutral 50 	{Narration, sad shaking of head, end on a downnote} Still... as consumed as he had been with its riches and ruin, the Sierra Madre had held him captive long ago. {Slow, a little sad as if shaking your head, draw this to a close.} 	
 	NVDLC01EndingDean 	Neutral 50 	{Dean Alive: Narration, slightly upbeat} Dean Domino, entertainer, singer... thief... explored the Sierra Madre not long after he was rescued by the Courier. {Dean's alive during this "end credits" narration.} 	
 	NVDLC01EndingDean 	Neutral 50 	{Narration} Once he left the theater, the Sierra Madre recognized him as a guest, and many doors opened to him. He had to admit, it had been built to last. {2nd part of this, slightly impressed.} 	
 	NVDLC01EndingDean 	Neutral 50 	{Narration} During his search, he came across the final records of Vera and Sinclair, and realized what happened the night the bombs fell. 	
 	NVDLC01EndingDean 	Neutral 50 	{Narration} He felt strangely sad for a moment, and he had no idea why. {Slightly confused. Never really got that Vera finally found love. And why that would bother him.} 	
 	NVDLC01EndingDean 	Neutral 50 	{Narration} Shrugging it off, his mind turned instead to where the Courier had come from. Vegas still survived, out there in the Mojave. {Direction: Whatever, throw the line away, then make it eager-new-horizons in second half.} 	
 	NVDLC01EndingDean 	Neutral 50 	{Narration} Its sights, sounds... and casinos, ripe for the taking. {Slightly eager/predatory.} 	
 	NVDLC01EndingDean 	Neutral 50 	{Narration, slightly upbeat} So giving the Sierra Madre one last nod and a wink, he set off beyond the Cloud to begin again. {Slow, draw this to a close.} 	
 	NVDLC01GalaEventActivate 	Disgust 10 	{Not happy, but sees an opportunity} What are you waiting for? Rubbing it in? {Slight disgust/eager} Strike up the band already. {AUDIO: From a speaker.} 	
 	NVDLC01GalaEventActivate 	Neutral 50 	{Warning} Careful when you do... you think the Villa's bad now, you haven't seen anything yet. {AUDIO: Coming from a speaker.} 	
 	NVDLC01GalaEventActivate 	Disgust 10 	{Sees an opportunity, quiet, whispering} Come on, partner. So close now, stage is set, strike up the band. {AUDIO: From a speaker.} 	
 	NVDLC01GalaEventActivate 	Neutral 50 	{Slightly worried} Just get ready to run when you do... I sure will. {To himself} Think the Villa's bad now... you haven't seen half the hell this town can raise. 	
 	NVDLC01GodToDeanTopic01 	Neutral 50 	I used to know a ventriloquist with more skill than you. At least he had the sense to know his own name, without carving it into his chest. 	
 	NVDLC01GodToDeanTopic01 	Neutral 50 	The truth, buddy, is this: you and me, we're now family as long as we got these bowties on. So watch your mouth, you don't scare me. 	
 	NVDLC01GodToDeanTopic02 	Neutral 50 	Sierra Madre's mine, my heart's right where it belongs. 	
 	NVDLC01GodToDeanTopic02 	Neutral 50 	Sounds like you need your hearing checked. Sierra Madre, it's meant for me. 	
 	NVDLC01WTDeanEnterBark 	Fear 10 	{Quiet, slightly nervous} Let's head through the hole in the wall there - if we go backstage, we avoid the locals. {<The player enters west town for the first time and Dean suggest the player head through the hole in the wall to avoid the ghost people.>} 	
 	NVDLC01WTDeanGalaBark 	Neutral 50 	If your marker's right, think the roost we're looking for is to the southeast. {<Tells the player that the roof with the marker is to the south east>} 	
 	NVDLC01WTDeanSneakBark 	Fear 20 	{Quiet} I am all about keeping low in this section of town... so let's see about creeping by the locals, all right? {<Dean suggests finding a way to sneak around the ghost people rather than fight them>} 	
 	NVDLC01WTDeanTreeBark 	Disgust 20 	{To himself, sarcastic} Ah, aren't the trees lovely this time of year, all blooming and green... {<Sarcastic comment on how lovely the dead trees are this time of year>} 	
 	NVDLC01WTDeanUmbrellasBark 	Neutral 50 	{Walked into a nice patio, appreciative} Nice spot for sunning. {Beat, to himself} Well, if the sun ever touched here. {<Comment about the small courtyard set up with the lawn chairs and the umbrellas>} 	
 	PLAYER IN IRON SITES 	Neutral 50 	Don't be ridiculous - point that somewhere else, will you? 	
 	PLAYER LAY MINE 	Neutral 50 	{Slightly wistful, quiet} A little party favor before the grand finale. 	
 	PLAYER THROW GRENADE 	Neutral 50 	Watch where you're chucking those things!

 	NVDLC01DeanDialogueAloneIdleAct1 	Disgust 20 	{Irritated} You'd think it was Spring the way tourists keep rolling in. {Dean is talking to himself in these lines.} 	
 	NVDLC01DeanDialogueAloneIdleAct1 	Disgust 10 	{Impressed} That one's got a head on their shoulders. {Beat} For now. {Dean is talking to himself in these lines.} 	
 	NVDLC01DeanDialogueAloneIdleAct1 	Anger 10 	{Frowns, to himself} Hope that tourist is hurrying, haven't got all day. {Dean is talking to himself in these lines.} 	
 	NVDLC01DeanDialogueAloneIdleAct1 	Anger 10 	{Frowns} At least this one seems like a straight shooter. {Beat} Or sucker. {Dean is talking to himself in these lines.}

 	NVDLC01DeanDialogueAutoDocBark 	Neutral 50 	{Looking around} Sinclair's little surgery carts. {To himself} Kept them around for his lady friend. 	
 	NVDLC01DeanDialogueClinicBark 	Disgust 20 	{Pretending to find the scene distasteful} There's a picture, a bunch of headless saps all waiting for the pearly gates. Whoever did this... messed up. {<Dean is looking at medical stretchers with headless corpses on them. He put them there to examine, doesn't want player to know.>} 	
 	NVDLC01DeanDialogueGala02BrokenCatwalk	Neutral 50 	{To himself, broken catwalk ahead} Guess we're going the long way around. 	
 	NVDLC01DeanDialogueGala02PostCloud 	Pained 20 	{Coughs} See? That... {coughs again} wasn't so bad, was it? 	
 	NVDLC01DeanDialogueGala02ToxicCloud 	Disgust 10 	{Commenting about the toxic Cloud} Looks like we'll have to go through this pea soup. I can get you across. 	
 	NVDLC01DeanDialogueGenericIdle 	Surprise 10	{1st Time Police Station} What are we doing in here? Planning to toss me in a cell? 	
 	NVDLC01DeanDialogueGenericIdle 	Neutral 50 	{1st Time Residential} Going to be sad to leave the Residential District. {Beat} Well... not really. 	
 	NVDLC01DeanDialogueGenericIdle 	Neutral 50 	{2nd Time Residential} Sure left a lot of traps around. Sometimes I forget where they are. 	
 	NVDLC01DeanDialogueGenericIdle 	Neutral 50 	{1st Time Salida, North} As worse as the other places are? This section of town is the most dangerous. 	
 	NVDLC01DeanDialogueGenericIdle 	Fear 20 	{2nd Time Salida, North} We need to get out of here - come alone if you want, don't drag me here. 	
 	NVDLC01DeanDialogueGenericIdle 	Neutral 50 	{3rd Time, Salida, North} Hear there's a belltower and church to the North... filled with Ghost People.

 	NVDLC01DeanDialogueGenericIdle 	Disgust 10 	{2nd Time Police Station} Never liked the Chief here, real stickler for "policy." 	
 	NVDLC01DeanDialogueGenericIdle 	Neutral 50 	{3rd Time Police Station} Made off with a lot of mines, shotguns, and explosives from here... wasn't easy with the Ghost People around. 	
 	NVDLC01DeanDialogueGenericIdle 	Disgust 20 	{1st Time Switching Station: Mumbling to himself} Got a worse grease smell down here than Danny Parker's hair on Opening Night. 	
 	NVDLC01DeanDialogueGenericIdle 	Fear 10 	{1st Time Clinic} What are we doing here for? This place is... well, it's haunted. 	
 	NVDLC01DeanDialogueGenericIdle 	Fear 20 	{2nd Time, Clinic} Seriously, we should get out of here. The Security Holograms... shoot on sight, and you can't even hurt them.
