You know, because your skin is so smooth... and tasty... Relax! I'm just kidding! But I had you going, didn't I?"(Winthrop's dialogue)Tulip: "Can I help you, smoothskin?"(Tulip's dialogue) The Chosen One and Harold had a similar conversation in Fallout 2.

How did you come by it?}"Lumpy: "{180}{}{Well, it’s sort of a joke. You see, they usually call people like you and me smoothskins. But I was treated so poorly by other Smoothskins down in Vault City that everyone here figured that I must be more lumpy than they are.}"(Lumpy's dialogue)
