Lucy quotes from Fallout

Lucy

My name is Lucy MacLean, and I’m an active contributor to the wellbeing of my community. Repair Skills. I enjoy participating in the Young Pipefitter’s Association, which keeps me active. Science Skills. Obviously, mine are nothing compared to my dad’s, but I always relish a challenge. Speech Skills. My primary passion is teaching American History, with a focus on ethics. I also participate in Gymnastics Club, Fencing Team C... Intermediate Phys Ed... and I dabble in Riflery. Though I’m not very good. In my personal time, I enjoy taking walks and watching movies with my dad, gardening… also with my dad... and participating in my family book club. We’re still trying to get my brother on board. He’ll come around when he’s ready. My reproductive organs are intact. My hygiene well maintained, and yet, I have been unable to find a suitable marriage partner. At least one I’m not related to. And we have rules about that for a reason. So, it is with sound mind and body that I hereby submit my application to the council to participate in the Triennial Trade with Vault 32.

Lucy

I may end up looking like you, but I will never be like you. [Sets a handful of vials next to the Ghoul] Golden rule, motherfucker.

Lucy

Were you always this rude? I'm guessing not. Look, your family may very well still be out there. I've seen enough by now to know that anything's possible. But one thing I wouldn't count on is them appreciating the kind of person you've become. I mean, you want them to like you, right?

Lucy

I may be able to help you. I have experience with family counseling. And sometimes, conflict resolution is easier than you think.

Lucy

Aw, geez...

Lucy

Oh...Dinah.

Lucy

[To Chet before opening the door to Vault 32 to meet her future husband] Chet, what’s going on?

Lucy, I love you.

Lucy

We all know that, Chet. Messing around with your cousin, it’s all well and good for kids, but it’s not sustainable for long-term sexual practice, you know?

You know, there was a time when they did studies on all kinds of things. Hell, you couldn't open a newspaper without readin' some kind of survey or another. Well, one of them things they studied was whether torturin' somebody actually gets anything useful. You don't need no studies to know that. You don't learn anything from torturing somebody.

Lucy

Then-why are you doing this?

Well, I'm not torturing you, sweetheart. I'm usin' you as bait. [Kicks Lucy back into the lake]

Lucy

[To Ghoul] You can’t treat people like this.

Yeah? Why’s that?

Lucy

Because of the golden rule. “Do unto others as you would have done unto you.”

Yeah, well, the Wasteland’s got its own golden rule.

Lucy

Oh? What’s that?

Thou shalt get sidetracked by bullshit every goddamn time.

[Repeatedly] My name is Roger.

Hey, Rog.

[Laughs] Hey. Hey. Fancy seeing you out here. You out for that bounty, too, huh?

Yep. [Roger snarls and wails] Oh, shit. How you feeling?

Oh... you know... it’s hard out here. Dang smoothies can be so unkind. [Pants] I see you got a smoothie of your own. [Snarls]

You’re turning.

[Grunts] Yeah. Yeah, maybe. Maybe. [Chuckles] Hey, you- you don’t happen to have any vials, do you? [Sniffles] Just one little puff and I’ll be back on my feet. You know I’m good for it.

I’m sorry, Roger. I’m all out.

That’s okay. That’s okay. Though, um, you and your smooth-faced friend, you, um... might want to clear out... before things get ugly. [Snarls] I did okay. Twenty-eight years since I first started showing. [Yells] Oh, hell. [Grunts] Not as long as you, though. You’ve outlasted us all. How long since you first started wastelanding?

A long time.

That’s a lot of vials.

Well, I’ve always been good at making money, Roger. [Exhales] Say...you remember how good food used to taste?

Yeah...BlamCo Mac & Cheese!

Ice cream and apple pie!

Apple pie! [Laughs] Hot damn. Apple pie. You know, my mom used to — [The Ghoul shoots Roger in the head]

Lucy

Wait... why’d you do that?! He was sick! [The Ghoul flips Roger's body over, reaches for orthodontics tools and pulls out a tooth from Roger] Stop! Stop, stop! Please! I... No, I know it’s hard up here, but you don’t... you don’t have... you don’t have to resort to... to...

What’d you say your name was?

Lucy

Lucy MacLean.

MacLean? Huh. Well, Lucy MacLean, it ain’t all canned peaches and marmalade left up here, sweetheart. Sometimes a fella’s got to eat a fella.

Lucy

You know, my vault has endured hardship, too. In the Great Plague of ’77, everyone had to quarantine, they couldn’t work the farms together. People starved. My mother included. My dad dropped to 128 pounds, and he still refused to do anything like this. [The Ghoul laughs] What? What’s so funny?

Well, there’s what people say they did and what they really did. I’ll bet your daddy was first in line at the cookout. I bet he had a bib with a drawing of his neighbor’s ass on there.

Lucy

How do you live like this?! Why keep going?!

Well, one good question deserves another. Why the fuck am I doing all the work? Now come on, Vaultie. Ass jerky don't make itself.

[Lucy dives into rain bucket drinking up] Now you’re getting it. How does that Golden Rule jibe with what’s going through your head right now?

What are you?

Oh, I’m you, sweetie. You just give it a little time. [Lucy runs away with The Ghoul] Where you think you going? You ain’t going nowhere. There you are, you little killer.

Lucy

[The Ghoul cuts off her right hand index finger] Aah!

Now, that right there is the closest thing we’ve had to an honest exchange so far.

[Speaking into intercom] Transaction.

Yes?

Two-month supply of vials. Exchange one female. Mint condition. [Turns off intercom, glances at Lucy, then turns on intercom] Near mint condition.

Condition grading requires physical evaluation. Please send her in.

Lucy

What’s in there?

You’re about to find out.

Lucy

You’re selling me?

You got problems out here, too, sweetheart. Best you try your luck behind that door. Go on.

Welcome.

Lucy

What the fudge?

Fudge? There’s no fudge here. Only a General Atomics International Mark 4. That’s what I am. You seem to be a woman.

Lucy

Please, sir, my name is Lucy MacLean. My dad’s been taken and I- I- I’ve been kidnapped. [Stammers] He’s right outside.

I say, you’ve lost a finger. Ah, that won’t do at all. Let’s get you taken care of. Follow me. Okay. Apologies for the mess. Time flies by lately. Especially since my temporal sensors went out in the Great War. That must have been a week ago, at least. Would you mind taking a seat on that gurney in front of you? Now, what have we here? [Opens drawer to select severed fingers] Too fat, too withered. Ah, this one’ll do it. Eh, you’re lucky I don’t have to use a thumb. Our finger inventory’s in a sorry state. Now, if you give me your hand... Okay, you’re going to feel a slight pinch. [Sews finger onto her hand]

Lucy

Thank you.

I say.

Lucy

I really do appreciate this. But listen, a big fish ate my head, and I need my head to get back to my dad...

There now. That’s much better, isn’t it?

Lucy

Thank you, that… Not a problem. That feels really, really nice.

Now, would you prefer a dressing of high-quality synthetic fibers, classic cotton, or a comforting synthetic-cotton blend?

Lucy

You have... real cotton?

Of course. Don’t you?

Lucy

[Sighs softly] Thank you. You know, that... that creature that brought me here, he...

You seem unhappy.

Lucy

He did not treat me very courteously.

Really?

Lucy

When I pointed out that he wasn’t following the Golden Rule, he put a leash around my neck and he made me drink from puddle water that I’m pretty sure was just some kind of animal pee.

Well, that is interesting.

Lucy

And I thought I was here to be a sex slave.

What?! No! What a disgusting idea! [Chuckles] I’m simply going to harvest your organs.

Lucy

Huh? [Snip-Snip shoots Lucy with a tranquilizer dart, knocking her out]

[Wheeling Lucy past the two dopehead supervisors on couch watching TV] Pardon the interruption. Our latest arrival has arrived.

Oh, shit. What are they asking, Snip Snip?

Sixty vials.

[Looks into box] We can do 60.

Fantastic.

Oh, do her now so she’s ready for the next pickup.

Excellent idea as always, sir.

Thanks, Snip Snip.

Do excuse me.

Nice robot.

[Wheeling Lucy] Where are you from again? [Lucy groans] Never been there myself. Hope to go there someday soon. Here we are. Let’s get on with it, shall we? We don’t want to keep your associate waiting.

Lucy

Sir, you can’t do this. Please, I need my organs.

Now, don’t be afraid. A little snip-snip and it will all be over. Hold still now. This won’t hurt a bit. Excuse me. [Lucy kicks Snip-Snip's saw and then uses defribrillation paddles to shock Snip-Snip with it emitting garbled, overlapping phrases] There’s no fudge here. I am ever-ready to serve... to serve... to serve. [Appears to Squirrel and Huey watching TV with Snip-Snip] Do what I say and Snip-Snip doesn't get hurt!

...It's a fuckin' robot.

Yeah, you might as well be holding an air conditioner hostage.

Well, an air conditioner would be a big deal, but you know what I mean.

Totally. The question was, does she know what you mean?

Lucy

Yeah. I think I do. That’s why I put Abraxo Draining Fluid in his syringes. Snip Snip, tell them what Abraxo does to the human body.

If you’ve got a c- c- clog that’s full of muck, trust Abraxo Draining Fluid t- t- to get it unstuck. It’s v- v- very poisonous.

Okay, you can walk out of here.

Lucy

Not just me. Them, too. [Squirrel presses button and row of cages open freeing Ghouls]

Hey, thank you.

Lucy

I said all of them.

Lady, those-those ones, you don’t understand... [Lucy fires dart in between Squirrel and Huey] Whoa. [Squirrel presses button and another row of cages open]

Lucy

Don’t be scared. You’re free. Go. [Latter freed Ghouls attack Squirrel and Huey killing them]

[After Lucy eradicates mutant cockroaches off his suit] Hey. Can you please let me out of here?

Lucy

[Gasps] That was you, right? Back in Filly?

Yes, that was... that was me.

Lucy

Why can’t you move?

‘Cause someone stole my fusion core. Please, c- can you please let me out?

Lucy

Believe me, I really want to trust you, but... I’ve had a rough week.

Yeah. Me, too.

Lucy

You, uh, remember that, uh, man I left with, with the glasses and the wh-whole body?

Yes.

Lucy

Yeah, I’m looking for his head. That’s why I’m here, that’s, um... I mean, that’s why I’m passing through. [Grunts]

Hey. You have radiation sickness. I got, I got RadAway left in the sleeve of my armor. You can have it if you let me out. [panting]

Lucy

I really want to believe you, but... practically every person I’ve met up here has tried to kill me, so...

Listen. Hey. You don’t get this medicine, you’re gonna pass out. Okay? And if you lose consciousness, we’re both gonna die. Trust me, please.

Lucy

Please. What’s your name?

I’m Knight Titus.

Lucy

I’m Lucy.

There’s a manual option, you just...

Lucy

I got it. [Observing Maximus's mobile battle suit] The T-60, right? The Army started using these after the Battle of Anchorage. I’ve seen these in old engineering manuals but never in real life. And you’ve even got the tempered lining in this one, which is... [Lucy passes out with Maximus catching her]

Lucy

[Walking along train tracks] At this rate, we’ll have caught up by sundown. Hey, can I ask you a favor?

Okay.

Lucy

Can you tell me what’s happened in the last 200 years?

What do you mean?

Lucy

Just the last 200 years. Like a- a quick rundown. I know about the Great War and the bombs falling, and the 320 years of American history before then. I just need help with the last 200 years. After the bombs fell.

The bombs fell when I was a kid.

Lucy

Is that what they tell you in your Brotherhood?

You’re the one who grew up in a box underground. Also, you thought you would show up to some warlord with no armor, no help, and expect him to just turn over a hostage to you? Did you really think that that would work?

Lucy

I had the head.

Yeah, but we don’t even know what’s in it.

Lucy

That’s true. Look, I... I come from a place where the world is what you make of it. Okay? It’s not like up here. We’re naive down there. Up until I was six, I really thought that the big light on our farm was the sun. My mom used to take me to play out under that light, and I swear I could feel the sun baking my skin. After my mom was gone, I realized it was just her that made it all feel so real. So, like, Earth is round, Earth is flat. Where are you guys on that these days? So, you guys use prewar technology to find and collect prewar technology to make sure no one has prewar technology?

I mean... [chuckles] yeah.

Lucy

Well, when you say it like that, I mean, yeah, it’s... [Maximus spots a couple walking onwards on train track and Lucy laughs] it’s weird. [Lucy realizes what Maximus is staring at]

You armed?

No.

Lucy

Yes, we are. Are you armed?

No.

Lucy

We’re just gonna walk on by. That okay with you?

It’s fine.

[Quietly] Give me your gun.

Lucy

What? No.

Lucy

There’s no one here but us and them.

It’s not safe. Give me your gun.

Lucy

They said they’re not armed.

They’re lying. You’re lying.

What’s happening over there?

Lucy

Yeah, we’re just being careful. You can come on through.

Are you trying to fuck us?

[Quietly] The gun.

Lucy

Okay, uh, I think we’re all feeling some tension. Yeah? A little stress? [nervous chuckle] Uh, so why don’t we all take a deep breath? [Nervously chuckles]

What the fuck are you talking about?!

Lucy

[Deeply exhales] Oh, okay, uh... we’re gonna do this. Um... How about on the count of three we all raise up our arms?

We already said we don’t have any weapons.

And neither do we!

Lucy

Well, either way, could we... could we just give it a try? Please? Okay. Great. Uh, hands up on the count of three. Ready? One... Two... Three. [The couple attempts to shoot them with Maximus grabbing Lucy's gun finishing off both of them] Wh- Why?!

[Lifts up their jackets to find knives] Fiends. Should’ve known.

Lucy

[Panting] You’ve been shot.

It’s just a scratch. Happens all the time.

Lucy

What’s a fiend?

It’s people who eat people.

Lucy

...I hate it up here.

Where are we?

Lucy

It’s okay. We’ll be all right.

What is this place?

Lucy

We’re in the best place in the world. We’re in a vault.
