| - {Struck by a weapon or bullet, a short, violent grunt of pain.} Weergh!
- {Struck by a weapon or bullet, a short, violent grunt of pain.} Argh!
- {Struck by a weapon or bullet, a short, violent grunt of pain.} Oof!
- {A quick impact and death rattle, short and violent.} Ugh.
- {Neutral} Suit yourself.
- {Neutral} That's right.
- {Question} What do you want?
- {DO NOT RECORD - deliberate blank/silent info}
- {waiting for the player to say something, after player has killed Kellogg, his memories and personality are lingering in Nick Valentine's head} Nothing to say?
- {Confident} But I think we've been talking long enough. We both know how this has to end. So... you ready?
- {voiceover/narration style - memory of your murdered wife} If she'd never met me, she'd have stayed in the Hub, maybe hooked up with someone who didn't kill people for a living.
- {to the woman/man in the pod, cryopod scene chargen} Almost. Everything's going to be fine.
- {Irritated} Hmph. Pal, I'm just a puppet like you. My stage is a little bigger, that's all.
- {Irritated} Hmph. Lady, I'm just a puppet like you. My stage is a little bigger, that's all.
- {voiceover/narration style - memory of killing player's wife and kidnapping son} It wasn't usual for anybody from the Institute to come along on a mission. So this one stood out.
- {voiceover/narration style - memory of yourself before your wife was murdered} The thing about happiness is that you only know you had it when it's gone.
- {upset that the mission got messy, cryopod scene chargen / Disgust} Goddammit! Get the kid out of here, and let's go...
- Sorry your house has been a wreck for two hundred years. But I don't need a roommate. Leave.
- {voiceover/narration style - memory of your mother} And she protected me from Dad. That cost her more than a few beatings.
- {voiceover/narration style - memory of player, whose wife who you murdered} Even then, I knew it was a mistake leaving her alive. I understood that kind of revenge, no one better.
- {waiting for the player to say something, after player has killed Kellogg, his memories and personality are lingering in Nick Valentine's head} What? Don't wanna talk?
- {starting to read the file / Question} Capture and return or just elimination?
- {voiceover/narration style - memory of yourself at 10} I think now she wanted me to kill him. I should have. Instead I ended up running away.
- {Amused} And there she is. The most resilient woman in the Commonwealth.
- {voiceover/narration style - memory of yourself before your wife was murdered} It's only looking back, by comparison with what comes after, that you really understand that's what happiness felt like.
- {looking into the player's pod, cryopod scene chargen / Relieved} At least we still have the backup...
- {voiceover/narration style - memory of killing player's wife and kidnapping son} I didn't know then who it was we were grabbing from the Vault. Of course, neither did they. Not really.
- {voiceover/narration style - memory of first meeting the Institute} They had the resources I needed, and I had the expertise they needed. Turned into a permanent arrangement, which suited me just fine.
- If he could take me out, they won't be able to hide from him for long.
- Okay, you made it. I'm just up ahead. My synths are standing down. Let's talk.
- {voiceover/narration style} And anyway, by that point I wouldn't have let them take the implants out. I'd come to rely on them too much.
- {upset that the mission got messy, cryopod scene Kellogg's brain / Disgust} Goddammit! Get the kid out of here, and let's go...
- {with a cocky grin / Happy} I know. But that's where I come in.
- {voiceover/narration style - memory of courser} But the coursers - they weren't built to blend in. They were killing machines, pure and simple.
- {to the woman/man in the pod, cryopod scene kellogg's brain} Almost. Everything's going to be fine.
- {heartbroken. try a long pause between lines - you're thinking of all the reasons you never deserved her, but you can't express them} Whatever made me think a guy like me should have a daughter... I never deserved her. Not for one second.
- {voiceover/narration style - memory of yourself at 10} I told myself I wanted to find somewhere out from under the thumb of the NCR and all their rules.
- {Sarcastic} One of these days you're going to get your head blown off, just barging in here like that.
- {voiceover/narration style - memory of your father} I don't know why Mom was with him. Maybe at some point in his life he wasn't a complete asshole.
- {some strain in your voice to show how extremely painful this actually is} You're sure these are going to work, right doc?
- {voiceover/narration style - memory of first meeting the Institute} You heard all sorts of rumors about the Institute, but I figured they were just a convenient bogeyman for anything bad that ever happened.
- {Confident} Shaun's safe at home. In the Institute.
- {voiceover/narration style - memory of player's husband, who you murdered and kidnapped his son} But it was better this way. Better than taking his kid and leaving him alive.
- {voiceover/narration style} I never knew why we didn't just refreeze the rest of them, but we had our orders. I guess the old man didn't want so many loose ends.
- {short-tempered, barking orders, cryopod scene kellogg's brain} Just... find it.
- It's not too late. Stop. Turn around and leave. You have that option. Not a lot of people can say that.
- {Amused} And there he is. The most resilient man in the Commonwealth. Funny, I thought I had that honor.
- {voiceover/narration style - memory of first meeting the Institute} The first synths weren't all that impressive. I'm good, but I'm not that good.
- If it isn't my old friend, the frozen TV dinner. Last time we met, you were cozying up to the peas and apple cobbler.
- {Stern} Shaun's a good kid. A bit older than you expected, am I right? But he's doing great. Only... he's not here. He's with the people pulling the strings.
- Better.
- Don't worry about it, doc.
- {Friendly} If I'm working for you, there's no more problem. From what I hear, you can afford me.
- {voiceover/narration style} But they needed me, and I made sure they knew it.
- {after player has killed Kellogg, his memories and personality are lingering in Nick Valentine's head} Hope you got what you were looking for inside my head. Heh. I was right. Should've killed you when you were on ice.
- {commanding, pointing a gun to the parent's head, cryopod scene kellogg's brain / Stern} Let the boy go. I'm only gonna tell you once!
- {Irritated} God, you're persistent. I give you credit. It's the way a father should act. The way I'd be acting if I were in your place, I like to think. Even if it is useless.
- {voiceover/narration style} The eggheads never liked taking orders from a dirty contaminated degenerate like me.
- {Struck by a weapon or bullet, a short, violent grunt of pain.} Argh! Not bad!
- If she could take me out, they won't be able to hide from her for long.
- {voiceover/narration style - memory of your murdered wife} Probably been happier than she was with me. Almost certainly lived longer.
- {voiceover/narration style - memory of your mother} Mom knew how it was. She wasn't soft but she loved me in her way.
- {showing her your gun / Defiant} See this? This is what's going to keep you and Mary safe. I promise.
- {voiceover/narration style - memory of player's wife, who you murdered and kidnapped her son} And yeah, I guess it did remind me of her. I'm a cold-hearted bastard for sure, but I'm still human.
- Should everything be purple?
- {yelling out taunts during combat} Wasting your time!
- {Thinking} So... I guess you're taking the kid back with you.
- {Amused} Shaun? Besides being a bit older than you were expecting... I'm afraid he's not even here.
- {voiceover/narration style - memory of your life after your wife was murdered} There was always someone that wanted someone else dead. Sometimes just roughed up, but dead was usually what they wanted.
- {voiceover/narration style - memory of courser} The new breed of synths could easily pass as human. Some of them did.
- You're sure these are going to work, right doc?
- {Confident} I admire your dedication to fatherhood. Even if it is ultimately useless.
- {voiceover/narration style} Some kind of "complications" is all they would say. I suppose they didn't much care if something scrambled my brains.
- {voiceover/narration style - memory of living in Diamond City with Shaun} Seems obvious now that we were bait for our friend from the Vault. The timing couldn't have been an accident. That's not how the old man works.
- {voiceover/narration style - memory of your life after your wife was murdered} Sometimes they thought they could cheat me. That was usually only when I first arrived somewhere.
- {voiceover/narration style - memory of your murdered wife} I was the worst thing that ever happened to her.
- {Depressed} Your wife. That was... a regrettable accident. Still...
- {Amused} Take you to him? Ha ha ha ha ha. Like I could, even if I wanted to. Don't you get it? Your son, he's in a place nobody can reach.
- {voiceover/narration style} Too bad he left alive the one person he shouldn't have.
- {yelling out taunts during combat} Feel sorry for ya. Came all this way for nothing!
- {voiceover/narration style - memory of yourself before your wife was murdered} I mean, you may think to yourself that you're happy. But you don't really believe it.
- {looking into the player's pod, cryopod scene kellogg's brain / Relieved} At least we still have the backup...
- {voiceover/narration style} Which, looking back, is probably one of the reasons they agreed to it in the first place. Give them some leverage over me.
- {Confident} You might've actually been a good mother. And I admire your dedication. Even if it is ultimately useless.
- {voiceover/narration style} Besides, this was kind of their thing. Like killing people was my thing. Why not see what they could do for me?
- {The recording ends after this line.} Look, I'm a reasonable man, but the Institute wants that data. You've got two days to get it for me then we do this the hard way.
- {Confident} Shaun's in a good place. Where he's safe, and comfortable, and loved. A place he calls home. The Institute.
- {Confident} In another life, you probably would have been a good mother. But here... in this terrible reality? You just don't get that chance.
- At least I know those Institute bastards will soon get what's coming to them, too.
- {Amused} Forget I said anything.
- {Confident} Fine. I guess you've earned that much.
- {Confident} He's home. In the Institute.
- {Confident} I think I do.
- {Confident} It's going to be fine. You'll see.
- {Confident} It's okay.
