Well, it’s just, for some guys... not me... uh, but for some guys, you know, when they make it move, it gets all big and hard like a big pimple and then it pops. And they say it can happen to anybody, but it’s still, it’s... it’s gross.
Lucy
You know, that’s... uh, that’s actually completely normal. It happens all the time. Every time, ideally.
No. You were right. Check this out. These are called oysters. You want one? They make you feel so good. You want to make my cock explode now?
Lucy
What?
TTitus
Sorry, intercourse?
Lucy
No, Titus. No, we need to leave. Right now. These people are insane.
TTitus
Yeah, they’re like you. A little weird, but nice.
Lucy
No.
TTitus
Plus, my arm. You know, I really... I ought to give it a little more time.
Lucy
Okay. Titus, look, I get why you’d want to stay. Okay? I really do, I… I know this must all seem really nice compared to the-the shoot show that’s up there. I wouldn’t blame you if you wanted to go back on our deal and- and just be somewhere that is good and safe. But this isn’t it.
TTitus
They gave me a robe.
Lucy
I know.
TTitus
And slippers.
Lucy
These people are hiding something from us and I’m gonna prove it to you, okay? I’m not leaving without you.
[Lucy is bound to a table before a court of raucous spectators]
BBirdie
We are all survivors here. Lucky enough to have found this sanctum of peace. Of tolerance. It doesn’t matter where you come from or what you believe. You deserve safety. Unless... you threaten that peace.
OBOverseer Benjamin
[Picks up sword and brings it to Lucy] For causing harm to a fellow survivor, you are hereby sentenced to death... [Lucy whimpers when Maximus raises the sword] by banishment to the surface! [Gently saws Lucy's binds] It’s almost there. [Realizes sword is too dull ]Need to get that sharpened, please. [Hands sword to Birdie, clears throat and manually breaks Lucy's binds]
SSpectators
Yeah!
Lucy
You’re just... letting me go?
OBOverseer Benjamin
Well, that’s certainly an optimistic perspective. You’ll be killed almost immediately on the surface by Lord knows what. That’s why we’re giving you two weeks of supplies to take with you. [Cathy brings box of bottled cola] Thank you, Cathy.
CCathy
Sure. [Walks away]
OBOverseer Benjamin
After that, you are on your own, Goosey.
Lucy
Uh... that’s, uh... that’s... really nice of you guys.
OBOverseer Benjamin
Okay, and now it is time to be moving along.
Lucy
Can I just ask you one thing?
OBOverseer Benjamin
Obviously, someone will carry the supplies to the surface for you.
Lucy
My friend really likes it here. And he’s a good person. He deserves to be somewhere nice and safe, like this. I know that I’m not really in the position to be asking favors. [Chuckles] But... can he stay? [Spectators gasps]
War never changes. You look at this wasteland, it seems like chaos. But there's always somebody behind the wheel. And that's who I wanna talk to. That's where your Daddy is headed.
It's easier to track a stuck pig than to ask it where it's off to. You want to know how I know your Daddy, don't you? Let's just say that everything about your whole little world was decided over two hundred years ago. Now, you can stay here with him, but when his tin-can soldier friends take this place - and they're gonna take this place - they will kill you and everybody here. Or you could come and meet your makers.
Hi, excuse me! Sorry. I'm hoping you can settle an argument between myself and my traveling companion there. We are hunting down my father, who is not a good guy, and on this journey we found ourselves in need of food and supplies. Plan A was just leaving you alone and avoiding this scenario altogether, but we've tried that, and I'd just end up starving to death. Plan B - his idea, by the way - was for me to turn him over to you so that you would open up your safe and give me the considerable bounty you put out on him.
The idea was I'd shoot him down, he'd take your weapons, and use whatever violence was necessary in order for us to escape. Which, in my experience thus far...it's...it's a lot of violence. So I'm really, really hoping you'll agree to Plan C?
NPNick the Prick
What's Plan C?
Lucy
You just let us go. And we keep the caps you gave me? Which, to be clear, we do need for our survival. And...just to ask the question, would it help if I said, "please?"
NPNick the Prick
Whoever kills the girl gets to eat the dog.
Lucy
[sighs] Okey-dokey. [shoots the Ghoul's rope. Violence ensues.]
Question: What exactly is it you plan on doing once we find your Daddy? We gonna do it like usual? You put a bullet in his ass, leave it to me to put one in his head?
I was raised to believe that that's what everyone deserves. So people know that how they conduct themselves matters. So they don't give up hope. [turns to the Ghoul] Like you say you did. But really it's still in here.
Every time I set foot in one of these concrete shoeboxes, I gotta make peace with the fact that I might finally learn what happened to my wife and my daughter. Whether they be alive, dead, or...or something far worse.
Lucy
Right. I know about the experiments. I've been to Vault 4.
We were negotiating the rights to your prima noctis.
Lucy
Prima noctis? Okay, first of all, shame on you! That is awful! And secondly, prima noctis isn't even a Roman tradition! It's from the Middle Ages! They were just nasty people borrowing a Latin phrase. And as much as I want to respect your traditions, there is a line to all that, which I think we have found. And you should know you that I'm not even a virgin! And that's not including all the cousin stuff I did, which is at least a page or two on my resume! So it looks like we're out of options.
[speaking rapidly] Ooh, gosh. Is it just me or is the air extra itchy today? And heavy? The air's itchy and heavy? You ever feel like that? And also, like, hungry for...not food?
The Ghoul [mildly amused] Yes, I am very familiar with that feeling.
Lucy
What the fudge did you stop for? Sorry. Whew. Gosh, why am I suddenly so grumpy? Am I dying?
Two days on a steady drip of Buffout will do that to a body.
Lucy
Well then, I hereby quit drugs! There! [The Ghoul starts rummaging through his pack] Whatcha got there? Oh gosh, it didn't take. I'm still addicted to drugs. What do I do?
It's gonna be a little hard to explain. We should go in through the east side of town. Place called Freeside. It's a good place to stock up on supplies. Only about a half-day's detour.
Lucy
No! My Dad is right there! I am done with all the sidetracks and detours! I say we just run on through! Who fudging cares! [heads off]
