 	 	 	You can't just treat people like they're numbers, ZAX! 	
 	 	 	I don't think I can be a part of this any longer, if what you're taking from me is that you've gotta get these people killed. 	
 	 	 	I can't help you do that, ZAX. 	
 	 	 	I see. And, right now, what is "determined" to be the "best candidate?" 	
 	 	 	Can't tell me, huh... don't matter, that's a load off my back. So, where do we go from here? I've gotta teach you about... leadership? 	
 	 	 	How'm I supposed to teach that to a computer... 	
 	 	 	Well, it doesn't sound like you can do anything about it. You shouldn'ta... shouldn't have given those people guns, ZAX. 	chuckles turn into cough at start of line, coughs inbetween "shouldn'ta" and "shouldn't"
 	 	 	Any time, ZAX. Good luck to you. 	
 	 	 	Well, I earned my rank from fightin' in that war. But my men... well, someone had to step up. 	
 	 	 	To me, a real leader is someone who steps up in a crisis and takes control of a situation, whether they were chosen or not. 	
 	 	 	I shouldn't have been in that "encounter" at all! How did he get this piece? I thought firearms were banned from this place, did he smuggle it in? 	
 	 	 	Good morning to you, too, ZAX. That's a pretty loaded question this early in the morning. 	Baker is groggy at the beginning
 	 	 	I... I don't think so ZAX. This is it for me. I'm done here. 	pained, baker is dying. cough before "i'm done here"
 	 	 	This is insane... what in the hell did they sign me up for... 	
 	 	 	... the "first" experiment? 	emphasis on first
 	 	 	I should have realized you were never gonna understand. Answer me this, at least, ZAX? Is... is my family... okay? 	strength audibly fading, at the end of his life. one final cough inbetween is, passes away after uttering line
 	 	 	I can't talk to you right now, ZAX. Leave me alone. 	
 	 	 	Hello, ZAX. Please, call me Bob. Is my family okay? 	
 	 	 	I... see. Well, as long as you and your Vault-Tec buddies keep my family safe, I'll help you as much as I can, ZAX. Pleasure to be workin' with ya.	
 	 	 	Whoa, slow down there, partner. That's pretty hasty, throwing away the foundation of Democracy after a month. 	
 	 	 	But, you're supposed to learn, so I'll help ya nonetheless. 	
 	 	 	You mind telling me what this is? 	emphasis on "this," Baker is agitated.
 	 	 	Because, ZAX, I'm done killing. I kill him, then what? Someone else gets his gun and kills people. Kill him, someone else kills more. 	pained.
 	 	 	And I'm done with that life. This cycle won't end. Giving those poor fools guns was a bad idea, ZAX. 	pained
 	 	 	Ain't... Ain't gonna be anyone for your "Overseer" to "oversee." 	coughs inbetween "ain't"s, mocking tone on "Overseer"
 	 	 	Makes sense, no reason to teach you if I just up and take over. Well, for starters, once all them folks get in here, how about a vote? 	
 	 	 	That's how we always done things in America and it's the greatest country on earth. 	
 	 	 	Are you saying you're trying to get these people to kill each other? That is wrong, ZAX. 	emphasis on trying
 	 	 	Arming these untrained, unstable individuals is not gonna produce a leader, just a pile of corpses. This ain't gonna end the way you think it is. 	
 	 	 	I know that but what in god's name is it doing here in this Vault? Some fool damn near shot up the cafeteria before I had to take him down. 	angry
 	 	 	ZAX! Hey, ZAX, where are you? ZAX! 	Baker is angry
