Lucy quotes from Fallout

Lucy

[after single-handedly taking out six Ghouls] Got any cigarettes? I've love to try one.

One addiction at a time.

Lucy

[picks up an enormous eggshell] Wow, how big do the chickens get around here?

[scared] Those aren't chickens!

Lucy

Well...whatever it is, I think we can take it! Yep, we got this!

Lucy

Oh...okey-dokey.

Lucy

I defer to you in what to do in this situation.

Run!

Lucy

You never found it?

Oh, I found one, in California. It was empty. Found another one in Oregon. It was empty too. Turns out there's more a few "special Vaults for Management" sprinkled across the Wasteland. All of them empty. But I've never found one in Vegas.

Lucy

So you think, if my Dad went there, maybe your wife and daughter are there too?

Unh-Hunh.

Hank

We never got to discuss "All Quiet", did we? I guess we were waiting until after the wedding. That ending was a real humdinger, wasn't it.

Lucy

I didn't finish it.

Hank

It's okay. You've been busy. What did you think about the parts that you did read?

Lucy

I found it very upsetting.

Hank

Can't disagree with you there. What aspect upset you most? To me, what was most troubling was that everyone seemed to be fighting over nothing. The French, the German, what was the difference between really? Other than the uniforms? I saw the same thing up on the Surface. People fighting over the most petty things. Like bottle caps. Is that what you saw when you were there? But you know, some things just never change. People just want to kill each other, don't they? I think it's the only way people feel safe. It's ironic. To feel safe, we have to hurt people. Even kill them.

Lucy

I'm bringing you back to Vault 33 to face justice for murdering the citizens of Shady Sands. You have the right to remain silent until the Vault Council assigns you a legal counselor.

Hank

For a second there, I thought the Wasteland had changed you.

Lucy

What does it do to their brains?

Hank

Tidies things up a bit. Cleans the memory of the horrors they've experienced. This dial controls how much amnesia they have. And the mainframe implants new ideas in their head. Turning these Wastelanders into well-meaning, good people.

Lucy

I'm shutting this whole thing down and bringing you home. How do I do that?

Hank

Once the procedure's done, it's irreversible.

Lucy

Fine. How do I stop you from making more?

Hank

Well, we have to destroy the mainframe which programs the boxes, and that's in the basement.

Lucy

How do I get there?

Hank

It's a bit of a hike. Let's take the golf cart.

Lucy

What's a golf cart?

Hank

[amused] Aw. Lucy, this is gonna be fun!

Hank

I really wish we'd had a normal life, Sugarbomb.

Lucy

We did, Dad. You wrecked it.

Lucy

You know, the Legion is still out there.

Hank

I know.

Lucy

They're gonna hurt a lot of people.

Hank

Yes.

Lucy

And with what you've created, you could stop them.

Hank

We could stop them, Lucy.

Hank

The New California Republic. They're just like the Legion. They all have their problems, Lucy. High taxes, expansionist tendencies, unpopular foreign policies. Trust me, you'll understand when you're older.

Lucy

I think I do understand. One is murdering people, enslaving them, crucifying them. And other side is...vaguely problematic. You know, I have to admit, you always were a good father. Thanks to you, I'm not a fudging idiot.

Kill me.

Lucy

Oh please no. Why does everybody always want me to kill them all the time?

Kill me. Please. Stop him.

Hank

Robert House wanted to turn human beings into machines. Erase their memories, make them suggestible enough to following his orders. You know Robert, he was a bit of a robot himself. And who wants to live in a world full of robots? So what I was trying to do was add a little personality to his product.

Lucy

Who was she?

Hank

Congresswoman Diane Welch, from Glendale. ISTP on the old Myers-Briggs. Which is still the gold standard for personnel. Ideal personality to scale. With the kind of attributes we could stand to see more of out there in the world if you ask me. Well-meaning, sweet, non-threatening.

Lucy

Then why would you do that to her?

Hank

Well...Daddy's job is complicated, sweetie.

Hank

Miniaturization. It's the wave of the future. Soon we won't know who's been automated and who hasn't. Just a little scar on your neck. Other than that...you'll be my little girl again.

Lucy

[horrified] You're insane!

Hank

You don't mean that. And if you do, very soon you won't.

Lucy

I spent my whole life dreaming of what it would be like to come up to the Surface one day. With you.

Hank

I just wanted to make all this worthy of you. You know, I was almost looking forward to going back to the Vaults with you. It would have been nice to see everyone again. Norm, Betty, Stephanie...hoo boy, Stephanie. But we're not going back, are we?

Lucy

Guess the Surface changes a person.

Lucy

You lied to me my whole life.

Hank

I know that's how you feel. You think this is the real world. The Surface is the experiment, not the Vaults. I've already sent my R&D out into the Wasteland. Their boxes are the latest models too. Can't even see them. Unbeknownst to everyone, they're following orders written for them centuries ago.

Lucy

Orders to do what? What did you do?

Hank

I love you, Sugarbomb. [erases his own mind]
