 	 	 	Eh, don't bug me, ya neb-nose. 	Not happy with the player yet.
 	 	 	Hope this job of yours is worth the risk of bringin' me along. 	
 	 	 	Just because I said I'd help n'at, don't mean I'm happy 'bout it. 	
 	 	 	Don't you never forget what you promised. 	
 	 	 	You go on ahead back to Crater. 	
 	 	 	I gotta get things in order 'round here so nothing happens to it while I'm gone. Meet ya there. 	
 	 	 	Yinz wanna blast our way into a vault? Sounds crazy, but I can do it. I'm in. 	
 	 	 	If you say so. I trust Meg, so if there's somethin' she needs done, I'll do it. 	
 	 	 	Remember, not a word to the others about what I was out here doin' or why. Not even Fisher. 	
 	 	 	Don't want 'em thinkin' less of me, n' I don't want to cause any of 'em fright. 	
 	 	 	Now let's hear about this job. 	
 	 	 	Good enough. I can always come back here n' do what I was gonna do anyway. 	
 	 	 	I don't think it's gonna happen, but likewise, so long as yinz let me try to convince ya I need to die, it's a deal. 	
 	 	 	Then you've got a deal. I'll be countin' on you. 	
 	 	 	If I do this job for yinz, you gotta help me off myself after it's done. 	
 	 	 	It's gotta be you. I don't want nobody else knowin' about this. 	
 	 	 	Tell ya what. Ya did graze me with that shot. Maybe you're the right kind of dirty jagoff I'm looking for. 	
 	 	 	I'll do the job for yinz, but then ya gotta be the one to do me in afterwards. 	
 	 	 	I don't want nobody else knowin' about this. 	
 	 	 	Yeah, well, I don't like takin' chances. That's why I work with explosives. So here's the deal. 	
 	 	 	Yeah? You gonna put your money where your mouth is? 	
 	 	 	That's what I thought. You're useless. Useless, but stubborn, I'll give ya that. 	
 	 	 	This unnatural walking corpse of a body... it ain't no way to live. 	
 	 	 	Say I go back with yinz to help, what happens if I change for the worse and end up killing others? 	
 	 	 	And what happens if people have trouble puttin' me down, so I end up killin' 'em all? What then? 	
 	 	 	Not sure you do, but eh. 	He's really not convinced, but doesn't want to make it a big deal
 	 	 	Yinz're probably right, but I gotta try. Like I said, least this way, I put myself away in a tomb I can't get out of 'n' on my own terms. 	
 	 	 	Luck's supposed to work in your favor. And it did, most of my life. 	
 	 	 	Wasn't a game of cards I couldn't win. 	
 	 	 	Course, I almost never played. Didn't have nobody to play with. 	
 	 	 	Worked with demolitions my whole life, and walked away from accidents that woulda outright killed other men. 	
 	 	 	So yeah, I'm convinced the world wants me alive, like it or not. And that's a problem for everyone else. 	
 	 	 	That's the problem. Dyin' of old age don't seem to be an option. The longer I'm alive, the longer I'm a danger to others. I'm a burden at best.	
 	 	 	No thanks. I'm done with the world, and it's like the world just ain't done with me. 	
 	 	 	Just had to curse me with luck so I can't even die in peace with my dignity intact. 	He's angry at the world
 	 	 	You come here to insult me, jagoff? I thought my way around this. 	
 	 	 	I made peace, and I want to go out my way, not losin' my mind and chowin' down on my friends' bones. 	
 	 	 	Yeah I know, I'm a regular softy. 	Sarcastic
 	 	 	Nice that people need me. But, you don't understand. 	
 	 	 	I only run across a few others like me. They were all worried about the same: What if. 	
 	 	 	No one's got any idea. Ain't exactly a doctor around who knows how this all works. 	
 	 	 	So yeah, maybe I'm fine. Maybe I live another hundred years and not nothin' goes sideways. 	
 	 	 	But, you seen all them ferals out there. Way more of them then there is like us. I don't wanna take no chances. 	
 	 	 	I bet you do. 	
 	 	 	Thanks, jagoff. Got any more words of encouragement? 	
 	 	 	You for real? Aside from maybe being a ticking feral time bomb, my body's a mess. 	
 	 	 	Feels like the radiation's both killin' me and keeping me alive somehow. 	
 	 	 	You get used to it after a while, but it ain't ever pretty. 	
 	 	 	Now it ain't all bad. I never been good around people, 'n now they let me alone 'cause of how I look. 	
 	 	 	I feel like I could live forever. That might sound good, but trust me, it ain't. 	
 	 	 	Not yet. How do ya think those ferals get that way? 	
 	 	 	Alls I know is I can't be around people when that happens. Best to seal myself away. 	
 	 	 	It ain't the kind of life I'd wish on nobody. 	
 	 	 	Yinz ain't makin' a good case if you want my help. 	He's definitely not impressed with the player's response here.
 	 	 	That's different. We don't kill nobody for no reason. We offer mercy. We let people join up. We ain't as bad as ya think. 	
 	 	 	We give 'em a choice, and we only kill if we need to. It's about survival, not killin' 'cause we feel like it. 	
 	 	 	Says you. Yinz ain't chock fulla radiation. Still got skin in the right places. 	
 	 	 	No worries 'bout losing what makes you human and not bein' able to stop yourself from killin' those that matter to ya. 	
 	 	 	That's why this is the only way. 	
 	 	 	'Sides, I'm old. I was old when I came down with this. 	
 	 	 	I ain't showin' any signs of slowin' down, n'at. I'm real tired of this. It's too much. I'm done. 	
 	 	 	That ain't what I mean. 	
 	 	 	I mean literally, physically, I can't seem to do it. 	
 	 	 	You seen the setups I got here. All designed to be foolproof deathtraps. 	
 	 	 	None of 'em worked. Always somethin' managed to go wrong. 	
 	 	 	So, I figure with this last one, worst case scenario, I get buried alive and can't do no harm to nobody. No backing outta it. 	
 	 	 	I tell ya, my luck ain't a blessing, it's a curse. 	
 	 	 	You see them ferals around? Only a matter of time 'fore I'm one of 'em. 	
 	 	 	I don't want to kill nobody who ain't got a good reason to be killed. 	
 	 	 	It's bad enough I look like a monster. 	
 	 	 	It's a whole 'nother thing to kill just 'cause something moved. 	
 	 	 	Take a good look. Ghoul's not the name I'd choose, it's the name someone would give a monster. 	
 	 	 	'Course some of 'em are; they gone feral. 	
 	 	 	Anyway, I dunno how it works, n'at. You're askin' the wrong person. 	
 	 	 	I just know getting' a big ol' dose of radiation seems to make people change like this sometimes. 	
 	 	 	In case it ain't obvious, I'm one of them rad-soaked ghouls. Been that way goin' on twenty-five years. 	
 	 	 	Ain't no way to live. Killin' myself's the only way to keep people safe. 'Course, that's harder than you'd think. 	
 	 	 	I getcha, but I gotta good reason to do what I'm doin.' 	
 	 	 	That's what I said. Did I stutter? 	
 	 	 	What's it look like? 	
 	 	 	Fine, I will... Aw hell... It still ain't workin.' Ya musta went and disconnected all my demo charges, didn't ya! 	Angry, annoyed
 	 	 	Ya did what? Why in hell you gotta do that? 'Course this would happen this way. What a pain in my ass. 	Angry and annoyed.
 	 	 	Ya gone through all the trouble, n'at, to get here. Lot of effort to stop an old man from offin' himself. What you want? 	Annoyed that the player has interrupted his plan
 	 	 	Now listen up. I don't want to talk 'cause I don't want yinz hurt. 	Big sigh at the beginning.
 	 	 	I rigged this place to blow, and you bein' here has put a real wrench in my plans. 	
 	 	 	Now, you can try to get here to me before I get this sonovabitch detonator working, or you can kindly screw off, 'n' get out alive. 	
 	 	 	I don't recommend anythin' in between. Now, if you'll 'scuse me, I'm busy. 	
 	 	 	'Cause. That's my business 'n my business alone. Keep your nebby-nose out of it. 	"'Cause" should sound very definitive and final.
 	 	 	Nah. I'm retired. I just decided it. 	
 	 	 	Yinz can take your job, turn it sideways, and put it where the sun don't shine. I ain't interested. 	
 	 	 	I feel like yinz're just gonna say it anyway, so go on. 	Annoyed
 	 	 	Ain't up for discussion. You die, it's on you now. Talkin's over. 	
 	 	 	I don't wanna kill nobody I dunno for no reasons, but that's life now. 	
 	 	 	I gave you a choice, I hope you get the hell on out before I detonate. 	
 	 	 	Now leave me alone. 	
 	 	 	I mean what I said. 	
 	 	 	I'm sealin' me in here, and I ain't leaving nothin' to chance. 	
 	 	 	Caves'r rigged to collapse 'n' if the 'splosions don't kill ya, the cave-in sure will. 	
 	 	 	So get outta 'ere or I'm bringin' down the rock on yinz too. 	
 	 	 	What you need me for? I ain't going back to Crater. 	
 	 	 	Fisher? Why that... Hrm... I told 'im I didn't want nobody comin' for me. What's anyone doin' comin' for me anyway? 	Grumbling that Fisher helped to track him down.
 	 	 	No thanks. Now git outta 'ere. Don't want yinz buried in 'ere with me, but if I don't have no choice, then fine. 	He considers it for a moment, then goes back to shooing the player.
 	 	 	No help needed. Yinz can help by goin' back where you came from before I cave us in. So 'less ya wanna be buried n'at, get out. 	
 	 	 	Yeah, it's me. What's up with you? Yinz don't sound familiar. 	Blend "what's up" to "whassup," and "with you" to "witchoo"
 	 	 	Hey! If someone's there, you'd better get outta here. Yinz ain't welcome. 	Annoyed that someone is here.
 	 	 	Serious! I'm warnin' yinz. Get out, or ya could die here. Got a lotta explosives set up! 	Annoyed that someone is here.
 	 	 	I don't want no one getting' hurt on account of me. 	Annoyed that someone is here.
 	 	 	I ain't interested in whatever ya got, and I ain't got nothing of value, so piss off. 	Annoyed that someone is here.
 	 	 	Take Weasel or whoever's with you, and leave. Yinz ain't getting' in and I ain't comin' out. 	Annoyed that someone is here.
 	 	 	The hell? Sonova... You grazed me... 	The player's shot grazed him, so he should react. He's also genuinely surprised this could happen, because he's convinced himself he's too lucky.
 	 	 	Usually someone pulls a gun on me, somethin' goes cockeyed. But you... I wanna talk with yinz. Get over here. 	
 	 	 	Waste of Ammo. You ain't gonna hurt me like that unless you get lucky. 	Lou is lucky, and bullets never seem to hit him. It's all in his head, but we're also tweaking the gameplay to support that perception here.
 	 	 	Ya made the wrong move, pal. 	
 	 	 	You've got ten seconds... er... thirty... eh, whenever this piece of shit decides to work to get out before I bring down the roof on us. 	
 	 	 	So you think you're all sneaky, n'at? Well, you're not, jagoff. I see yinz, and ya better be ready to explain what you were thinkin'. 	Angry, but composed.
 	 	 	Fisher knows how it works better than I do. He found a science person... No. A scientist's house in Monongah. 	
 	 	 	The scientist was working on a device to let animals talk. 	
 	 	 	Fisher made it work for me and impoverished... improvised... made it work better. Mostly. 	
 	 	 	So you think you're all sneaky, n'at? Well, you're not, jagoff. I see yinz, and ya better be ready to explain what you were thinkin' 	He feels crafty for noticing the player when they were sneaking.
 	 	 	Okay, okay. 	He's reluctant, but agrees to do the job for the player.
 	 	 	Heh, good luck, nebshit. I won't be waiting for ya. 	Dismissive.
 	 	 	Ok, I'm listening. 	But he's not happy about it.
 	 	 	Ahh! What the? Where the hell'd you come from, you sneaky jagoff? 	Suprirised. The player just showed up out of nowhere and surprised him.
 	 	 	This better be good. 	Annoyed that someone is here in his hideout, especially someone he doesn't know.
 	 	 	I'm keeping yinz to that promise. 	Picking up after the player promised to help him, if they had backed out of the conversation after that point.
 	 	 	What, yinz think I'm tryin' to die 'n' just failing at it 'cause I don't know what I'm doin'? 	Taking offense, but also considering in the back of his head that he is actually delucing himself.
 	 	 	I been workin' with my hands for longer than you been alive. If I wanna build somethin' to kill someone, it happens. So why not with me? 	
 	 	 	So if it ain't skill, then what is it? There ain't no better explanation than luck. 	The real answer is that he doesn't want to kill himself, but he's not ready to admit it.

 	 	 	Thanks. Sure took yinz long enough. 	Surly. He's just been trapped in a major predicament, and the player freed him. He's thankful, but he's still angry about it.
 	 	 	I'm too old for this kinda crap. 	
 	 	 	Nah. All the charges have to go off at the same time, and we gotta be a safe distance away. 	
 	 	 	That detonator's key to doin' this job. 	
 	 	 	He's just some Soviet former mobster jagoff. He and his crew joined up with us a while back. You probably saw him hanging around the Crater Core?	
 	 	 	Liked to think of himself as Meg's number two, but I don't think she thought the same. 	
 	 	 	Dunno why he did what he did. Maybe just hates ghouls. Maybe hates the rest of Meg's gang. Maybe both. 	
 	 	 	I'll 'member to ask him next time he tries to kill me. 	Sarcastic.
 	 	 	He 'n Lev been friends longer. 	
 	 	 	'Course it might've had to do with me havin' words with Fisher after he tracked me down when I specifically told him not to. 	
 	 	 	Said some things I probably shouldn't've. Guess I was right about him bein' a damn traitor. 	A little regretful
 	 	 	Well, if yinz wanna get into that Vault, we gotta get that detonator back. 	
 	 	 	To do that, we gotta find Lev, but first thing's first: You gotta tell Meg. Get her to get a team together to hunt 'em down. 	
 	 	 	That asshole, Lev. He's had it in for me since the start. Don't like us ghouls. 	
 	 	 	He got Fisher, Surge, 'n some others on board to sabotage us. They jumped me while I was settin' up the demo charges 'round the vault door. 	
 	 	 	Musta been familiar with our plan, 'cause they took off with my detonator and left me here to die. 	
 	 	 	Heh. Joke's on 'em. Yinz showed up before their tranq dart wore off on our friend over there. 	Mildly amused. Lead the n from "on" into "'em" kind of like "ah-nem"
 	 	 	Yeah, just pissed off, is all. Those friggen' traitors were never gonna be able to kill me anyway. 	Angry about being doublecrossed by people he thought he could trust
 	 	 	Ha ha, jagoff. Only it weren't me this time. 	Feigning amusement, grumpy, but not taking too much offense to the player.
 	 	 	Friggen' traitors is what happened. 	Angry about being doublecrossed by people he thought he could trust
 	 	 	I figured someone'd show up. Just glad yinz did before I lost an arm or somethin' to that thing. 	
 	 	 	I can't wait to be done with this job. 	
 	 	 	If yinz end up seein' Fisher, give 'im a mouthful from me, got it? 	
 	 	 	Least those jagoffs didn't find my demo charges and run off with 'em, too. 	String "with" and "'em" together into something like "wiffem"
 	 	 	Go on. I'll be fine here. Doubt those jagoffs are comin' back. 	
 	 	 	Kill this thing before it wakes up 'n' eats me 	Whispered (loudly). A big hungry creature is sleeping next to him while he's tied up.
 	 	 	Shhhh! Careful! Don't startle it! 	Whispered (loudly). A big hungry creature is sleeping next to him while he's tied up.
 	 	 	Quiet! This thing's sleeping. Don't friggin' wake it! 	Whispered (loudly). A big hungry creature is sleeping next to him while he's tied up.
 	 	 	Hey, get me outta here before this jagoff gets hungry! 	Whispered (loudly). A big hungry creature is sleeping next to him while he's tied up.
 	 	 	Do something about this beast! 	Whispered (loudly). A big hungry creature is sleeping next to him while he's tied up.
 	 	 	Hurry up and kill that thing! 	Yelling. The player is fighting a big hungry creature while he's tied up.
 	 	 	You better not lead it over here! 	Yelling. The player is fighting a big hungry creature while he's tied up.
 	 	 	Aw shit, now yinz done it! 	Yelling. The player is fighting a big hungry creature while he's tied up.
 	 	 	You better not die fighting that thing. You still owe me a favor! 	Yelling. The player is fighting a big hungry creature while he's tied up.
 	 	 	Watch out, it's all pissed off now! 	Yelling. The player is fighting a big hungry creature while he's tied up.
 	 	 	Alright, it's dead, now get me offa this thing! 	Yelling. The player killed the big hungry creature, and now he wants them to free him from being tied up.
 	 	 	How 'bout freein' me when you're done fuckin' around? 	Yelling. The player killed the big hungry creature, and now he wants them to free him from being tied up.
 	 	 	You wanna hurry a little? 	Yelling. The player killed the big hungry creature, and now he wants them to free him from being tied up.
 	 	 	I ain't sitting here for my own comfort, you know! 	Yelling. The player killed the big hungry creature, and now he wants them to free him from being tied up.
 	 	 	Good, you killed it, now can we focus on untyin' me? 	Yelling, and in a sour mood. The player killed the big hungry creature, and now Lou wants them to free him from being tied up.

 	 	 	Yinz ready, or what? 	Surly, but anxious to get going.
 	 	 	Whatever. Not like I'm goin' anywhere anytime soon. 	
 	 	 	Not now. We got work to do. Don' worry. I ain't lettin' you forget about it. I'll come find yinz after the gold's got.	He doesn't have time for this.
 	 	 	You got it. Stand back. Don't want no one standin' in the blast zone. 	
 	 	 	<affirmative grumble> 	Something that sounds surly and unintelligible, but vaguely affirmative. Like "Mnhmmm"
 	 	 	Come find me when this is done so we can settle our arrangement. 	
 	 	 	You was all in a hurry to get in there, now you're hanging back here? What's with you? 	
 	 	 	Yinz all need to quiet down, I'm tryin' to make sure it's ready to go. 	
 	 	 	We're just about all set now, thanks to yinz getting' that detonator back. 	
==W05_MQR_205P_A==

 	 	 	Hold on. What you mean by that? 	Combine "What you" into "Whatchoo"
 	 	 	Do they? I know Meg does. Always askin' how I am. 	Reflecting on his friends. Maybe he doesn't want to let them down.
 	 	 	Maybe the little girl too. Wants me to play with her all the time. 	
 	 	 	Come to think, you killed everyone who ever gave me a hard time, 'n' the rest seems to show some respect. Guess you're right. 	Sincere. Though, it may have been hard for him to say.
 	 	 	I know. I run into one or two of 'em before. They were worried 'bout the same. 	
 	 	 	No one knows what to make of it all. But, no one says it's a guarantee we'll turn either. 	
 	 	 	Anyway, you convinced me, so I hope you're willin' to put a bullet in me if it does go that way. 	He's pretty convinced he's not going to turn feral, and that it'll be okay, but he wants a backup plan just in case.
 	 	 	Heh, alright, ya jagoff. It won't come to that, but if it ever does, you got a deal. 	Amused. He knows the player is just joking. Grateful that they helped him.
 	 	 	Meantime, I'll find some way of showin' my thanks, yinz can bet on it. 	
 	 	 	Yeah, thanks to you. Dunno how to make it up to ya, but I'll figure somethin' out. 	Relieved, an grateful to the player. Almost happy.
 	 	 	Yeah, those jagoffs'd be blowin' themselves up or somethin' if it weren't for me teachin' 'em the rights and wrongs. 	Amused, and relieved. Grateful to the player. Almost happy.
 	 	 	Dunno how, but I'll find some way to thank you. 	
 	 	 	Sounds like a promise to me; one I expect you to keep this time. 	Relieved, and grateful to the player. For the first time, he almost seems happy.
 	 	 	But ya did pull me outta this mess, 'n' I'm glad ya did. 	
 	 	 	Gonna be tough to thank yinz properly, but I'll think of somethin', you'll see. 	
 	 	 	Fine. If that's the case, let's do it now. 	He realizes he might not get another chance, so he makes up his mind to go out on his own terms before he or anyone else suffers.
 	 	 	At least I can go out while I still got my senses, without causin' anyone else pain or grief. 	
 	 	 	Thanks, and eh, tell 'em all goodbye for me. 	Not his ideal outcome, but he's still grateful the player is willing to do it for him.
 	 	 	Fine, jagoff. I get it. Thanks for hearin' me out, but don't expect much help from me when you need it. 	Grateful that the player convinced him to live, but not happy that they won't help him in case he goes feral.
 	 	 	Stayin' alive's the right choice, n'at, but it's gonna be risky. Just neb out next time you think about messin' with my life. 	"neb out" = don't get nosey
 	 	 	Thanks for understandin' what I'm goin' through n'at. So long as you got my back, I'll try to get yours. 	Grateful to the player.
 	 	 	Glad you were here to save my life. Hope it stays saved. 	
 	 	 	Hmm. Good point. He hated my guts, and wanted me to off myself. 	
 	 	 	Last thing I wanna do is give that jagoff any satisfaction while he's lookin' up at me from hell. 	Getting angry, looking back at Lev's actions.
 	 	 	Anyway, I got people like you around who'd help out if I did turn feral. 	
 	 	 	Somewhere in the ballpark. 	Amused.
 	 	 	You got a point. I think for now, I just go back, and see how it plays out. 	He's convinced that he should live, because he may not go feral
 	 	 	One condition: you put a bullet in me if you're wrong and I go feral, before I hurt anyone. 	But, he wants a contingency just in case.
 	 	 	He 'n' I never saw eye to eye. Always thought he was a bad egg. Shoulda seen it comin'. 	Angry that he didn't recognize Lev for who he was before.
 	 	 	I seen enough of that racist shit in my time, I shoulda known that was his angle. 	Angry at Lev, upset he didn't recognize Lev for what he was.
 	 	 	You're the first person I feel like I could talk to 'bout it. 	He's not much of a people person, and he was too close to the people at home, but he is able to confide in the player.
 	 	 	I... appreciate what you're doin' 'n'at. 	
 	 	 	You're right. I don't. People count on me, 'n' I can't let them down. 	
 	 	 	Maybe I won't go feral, 'n' even if I do, maybe yinz'll be there to stop me. 	He wants to live, and he wants the player to help him if he loses his mind and turns feral.
 	 	 	Yeah, I'm sure. I don't want to be a burden on yinz anymore. 	The more he thinks of it, the more he worries about being a burden, or suffering himself and other.
 	 	 	Thought about it long enough, lived a long life, made my peace, and I'm of sound mind n'at. Let's get it over with. 	He wants to make sure the player knows this is his decision.
 	 	 	Tell 'em I said goodbye. 	A little sad.
 	 	 	I'm worried about takin' that risk. We Crater folks ain't good people, but none of 'em deserve to be eaten alive. 	
 	 	 	Specially if they have as much trouble killin' me as I've had tryin' to die. 	
 	 	 	Why the hell would that jagoff do that for? 	Angry, confused. someone manipulated him, and he needs to know why.
 	 	 	Listen, jagoff. I thought it'd be easy, but it ain't! 	Annoyed at the player for rushing him through the hardest decision he's ever had to make.
 	 	 	That's what I keep comin' back to. I'm not. 	He's conflicted.
 	 	 	You're right. I don't want that hangin' over me. I wanna go out on my terms, while I still got my mind, before I get anyone hurt. 	He's more sure of himself now. Doesn't want to suffer, or for anyone else to suffer.
 	 	 	Thanks for understandin.' Tell 'em all goodbye. 	He's confident he made the right choice, but still a little sad.
 	 	 	I go back with you 'n' the rest. If I start showin' signs of goin' feral, you kill me then. 	He seems okay with this plan.
 	 	 	Yeah. Think my mind's made up on this. 	
 	 	 	Do I gotta spell it out for you? I can't. I'm afraid, or somethin'. I dunno. I ain't good with words 'n' shit like this. 	Annoyed, more at himself for not being able to come out and say what he means.
 	 	 	If I'm gonna do this, I need someone willin' to help. I don't wanna put that burden on anyone I care about. No offense. 	
 	 	 	Bastard did what? Why? 	Flabbergasted and angry.
 	 	 	Yeah. And my instincts are tellin' me to do the right thing. 	Convincing himself that he needs to die to avoid suffering and the suffering of others,
 	 	 	I stay alive, I could turn feral and hurt people. Don't wanna lose my mind and go out like that. 	
 	 	 	Better to go out while I'm still in control, let people remember the way I was. Tell 'em goodbye for me, will ya? 	He's not good at goodbyes, but he wants his friends to know.
 	 	 	Nah... okay yeah. A little. All the deathtraps I made. Maybe it had shit to do with luck. 	Admitting that maybe he sabotaged his deathtraps to prevent himself from dying.
 	 	 	Maybe they didn't work 'cause I didn't want 'em to work, know what I'm sayin'? 	It's hard for him to admit.
 	 	 	Fine, you're right. I can't bring myself to do it. That's why all my deathtraps failed. 	Resigned to this fate, but also kind of relieved. He's finally admitting to himself why he couldn't go through with it.
 	 	 	I'll just go back to Crater. If I go feral, someone'll have to try to kill me before I kill too many others. 	
 	 	 	Yinz might want to hang around 'til that time comes if you want a clear conscience. 	Trying to guilt the player a little bit.
 	 	 	Ya got me by the wrinkled uglies. Gonna twist to see me squirm, or you gonna get on with what you gotta say? 	Annoyed that the player is being difficult. He wants them to hurry up and get to the point.
 	 	 	Gotta be honest. Those deathtraps I rigged up? I don't think it was dumb luck that made 'em not work. 	Coming clean and admitting to himself that he failed to kill himself before because he wasn't sure about it.
 	 	 	Think I sabotaged 'em without realizing it, 'cause I wasn't ready to go. 	
 	 	 	Can't put anyone back home through with it. Gotta be you. 	
 	 	 	Fine, jagoff. I guess I'll just have to live knowin' I put everyone at risk, and you will too. 	Pissed at the player for letting him down.
 	 	 	Don't expect much help from me no more. Not unless you're willin' to stick around and put a bullet it me if I go feral. 	Trying to make a final appeal to the player.
 	 	 	Since I can't do it without ya anyway, I guess I got no choice. 	Annoyed, but patient.
 	 	 	Maybe I ain't ready to die. 	Finally admitting it to himself
 	 	 	So maybe I didn't put my all into those deathtraps on purpose, 'cause I wanted 'em to fail. 	Admitting that he may not have wanted to die.
 	 	 	You wanna convince me one way or another, now's your chance. 	Really hoping the player convinces him, but still isn't sure.
 	 	 	Nah, I am. I won the Great War lottery by surviving what shoulda killed me. I lived longer than almost anyone could ever hope. It ain't that.	He's not denying his luck, but he's also going to admit that he may have sabotaged his attempts to kill himself on purpose.
 	 	 	I think that's what I'm sayin'. Luck has less to do with it than I'm lettin' on. 	He's revealing that maybe he overplayed the idea that he's too lucky to die, and that his actions had something to do with it instead.
 	 	 	That's the idea. I don't wanna suffer. I don't want my friends to suffer 'cause of me. 	he's back to thinking that maybe he is making the right choice by dying on his own terms, avoiding suffering.
 	 	 	I'm at peace with my end, and I've decided this is how I want it to be. 	
 	 	 	All those machines I rigged up back in the mine to kill myself? 	Asking the player to recall the deathtraps he made to kill himself back in previous dungeon.
 	 	 	Well, maybe it wasn't just dumb luck that made 'em not work right. What if I... didn't want 'em to work? 	Finally admitting to himself that he may not want to die.
 	 	 	What if I'm wrong? What if it's all fine? 	Nervous, depressed, emotionally confused
 	 	 	Only reason I wanted to off myself is 'cause I like some of those people. 	
 	 	 	Don't want anything bad to happen to 'em, but if I'm alive, and I don't go feral, I can help with that. I dunno what to do. 	
 	 	 	Eh, it's you. Guess we got business to settle, eh? 	Somber, as if he really doesn't want to go through with this, but he knows he has to. He's talking to the player about their promise to help kill him
 	 	 	Whoa, don't rush me, jagoff. Just... let me collect my thoughts first. 	This is all moving too fast for him, and he's having second thoughts about dying. This manifests as annoyance towards the player.
 	 	 	You made a promise. Keep it, or I can make your life real hard 'round here. So stick that in your pipe and smoke it. 	Lou is mad that the player isn't going to help him.
 	 	 	I know you don't wanna go through with this. I'm havin' second thoughts again anyway. 	He asked the player to help him die, but the player didn't want to do it, and now he's not sure he wants it either.
 	 	 	Now that it's real, I uh, I'm havin' some second thoughts again. 	He asked the player to help him die. The player agreed, but now Lou's not sure he wants it.

 	 	 	Got nothin' for ya. Go bug someone else. 	
 	 	 	What's your problem? 	
 	 	 	Hey, got something for yinz. Want it? 	
 	 	 	I ain't in no mood to talk to no jagoffs today. If you want somethin', make it quick. 	
 	 	 	I never thought I'd be sayin' it, but you was right. Livin's the right choice. 	
 	 	 	You're just full of life lessons, ain't ya? Next time you wanna talk, maybe I can lie down on a couch while you take some notes. 	
 	 	 	I'm tellin' ya it ain't that simple. We both know our crew ain't black and white. We're all about that gray area. 	
 	 	 	Sometimes ya just get too deep in the dark and make that one bad decision. 	
 	 	 	Eh, don't get all sappy on me. That ain't my thing. I just plan on focusing on keepin' the ones I got. 	
 	 	 	Hell that'd be a trip. Probably go missin' when I wake up and gotta take a piss. 	
 	 	 	Either that or yinz take it for a laugh... or for ransom. Yeah, I'll probably rethink that one. 	
 	 	 	If I never laid into him 'bout tellin' you where I was, he may never have joined that train wreck. 	
 	 	 	It ain't like Fisher to take on Lev's ways. Guy had morals, liked Meg, and been my pal since I joined up with this crew. 	
 	 	 	Damn right I do. I won't lose anyone else, 'specially at my own hands. 	
 	 	 	Damn right I do. And now, all I gotta worry about is the mound of explosives I keep around. N'at's easy compared to goin' feral. 	
 	 	 	Plus, I know you got my back. I ain't got no doubt you can put me down real quick like should the time come. 	Drag out the word "real"
 	 	 	I may even start cuffin' myself to the bed 'case I turn in my sleep. Pretty sure that'd be a fun wake up call to folks 'round here. 	
 	 	 	And yinz're probably right about me not going feral. I did some more askin' around and nobody's seen no ghoul ever go feral. 	
 	 	 	So, I'm glad all'a yinz cleared my head of that concern, n'at. What a load off. 	
 	 	 	Eh, nothin' I ain't used to, like lookin' in the mirror. But this ugly mug? Now I know it don't mean nothin' to the people I care about.	
 	 	 	Wasn't easy, lemme tell ya. Lettin' go o' that fear? Of losing control? Hardest thing I ever done. 	
 	 	 	But you was right. That fear was holdin' me back... like blinders. I couldn't see that people cared... couldn't see that I was needed. 	
 	 	 	You and your optimism. Here's hopin' you're right. I'm here to help my friends, not hurt 'em. 	
 	 	 	Better be, 'cause I'm countin' on you to waste me the moment you get a whiff of things going south. 	
 	 	 	Hey, I ain't askin' you to be some sort o' shadow. You just keep an eye out, you know, for any... signs or whatever, of me turnin'. 	
 	 	 	Anyway, I may have chosen to live, but that don't mean I've transformed into a social butterfly, n'at. 	Lou no longer worries he's going feral.
 	 	 	Though, maybe I'll try opening up a little now I don't gotta worry about getting close to people. 	Lou no longer worries he's going feral.
 	 	 	Anyway, I may have chosen to live, but that don't mean I've transformed into a social butterfly, n'at. 	The player promised to stick around and help him if he goes feral
 	 	 	Just remember that promise o' yours, and you 'n me are good. 	The player promised to stick around and help him if he goes feral
 	 	 	Heh, time to start really livin' up to the name, ain't it? Though maybe if I was really lucky, none of the bad stuff'd ever happen. 	"stuff'd" = informal contraction of "stuff" and "would"
 	 	 	I ain't gonna lose anyone else. I wanna be sure of it. 	
 	 	 	Well, too late, the deal's done. 'Specially since I already held up my end of the bargain. 	Slightly threatening tone.
 	 	 	You don't follow through? Your choice. But anyone here who dies? That blood is on your hands. 	Getting angry.
 	 	 	Obviously, you got better things to do then look out for me and mine, so why don't you take a hike? 	Player wouldn't help him. Not a fan.
 	 	 	I'm done wastin' time talkin' to you. 	Player wouldn't help him. Not a fan.
 	 	 	You really thought that's what I meant? I take back what I said 'bout you not being simple. 	
 	 	 	All I wanted was someone who can do the job when the time comes. Someone with the guts to pull the trigger on a familiar face. 	
 	 	 	Don't go actin' like you're some expert. No one here knows what could happen. Least you coulda done is have my back to ease my mind. 	
 	 	 	Yeah? That's what I thought. 	
 	 	 	Oh you noticed? Maybe you ain't so simple after all. What do you think, jagoff? 	
 	 	 	I ain't got no regrets choosing to live my life, and sure, I'm grateful you showed me the error of my ways, n'at... 	
 	 	 	But when you turn your back on me askin' to keep an eye out? You turn your back on this whole crew. 	
 	 	 	Don't bullshit me. I got a pretty good idea just how much you really care, and it ain't much. Now beat it. 	Player wouldn't help him. Not a fan.
 	 	 	Ain't anyone ever tell you looks can be deceivin'? 	
 	 	 	Now don't be getting' ahead of yourself, Seven-Six. 	
 	 	 	Heh. I expected a little more enthusiasm after all that work you put into it. 	
 	 	 	Now let me alone. 	Mildly annoyed. He wants to be left alone because he's not so good around people, not because he particularly dislikes the player.
 	 	 	Now what? I got things to do, so hurry up and out with it. 	He's still annoyed that the player refused to help him if he goes feral.
 	 	 	Hope it helps. Least I could do since yinz saved my life, n'at. 	
 	 	 	No time for small talk. Go stick your neb-nose in someone else's business if yinz don't want what I got. 	
 	 	 	Eh... sure. Nothin' too nebby, I hope. 	He's not particular happy to see the player.
 	 	 	It'll still be here later. I got time to talk. Yinz did save my life, n'at. 	He's glad to see the player.
 	 	 	It ain't nothing. Just something that'll do you more good'n it'll do me. 	
 	 	 	I had some extra parts, so I built some explosives for yinz. 	
 	 	 	Yinz're one of the only ones to come round and see me, so I got something yinz can use. 	
 	 	 	Explosives. I got too many of 'em. So I'm tryin' to offload some. 	
 	 	 	What's it look like? I'll give yinz a hint: it goes boom. 	
 	 	 	Something that'll blow your fingers off if yinz ain't careful with it. Enjoy. 	
 	 	 	Some old explosives I dug up from my stock. Here. 	
 	 	 	Oh. don't get your gutcheez in a bunch. They ain't dangerous 'less I want 'em to be. 	gutcheez = Pittsburg slang for underwear
 	 	 	To hell with Lev and Surge. Fisher, on the other hand... that cuts me deep. 	
 	 	 	Well, first of all, screw Lev and Surge. Even ol' "Gentleman Johnny" ain't much of a loss. But Fisher? That's the one that hurt most. 	
 	 	 	Sure beats the alternative. But knowin' people care and that they ain't worried about it means I gotta step up and do the same. 	
 	 	 	What kinda jagoff would I be moping around like that. Nah, makes more sense to be the poster boy for us kind. 	
 	 	 	Maybe there's other ghouls like me thinkin' the same things I did. Maybe I can help 'em out like you did for me.
