Betty quotes from Fallout

Betty

I woke up 40 years ago. And I've learned a lot in that time. What matters, what doesn't matter. The company we work for isn't coming to save us. This community and how we conduct ourselves in it? That's all that matters. That's all we have.

Betty

You're so much like how I remember you. We were scared of you. But I sometimes forget how much I learned in the time you were still under.

Betty

There you are. Thought you might be up here. Made pie if you’d like a piece. I was there the first time that you tried rhubarb pie and ice cream. You sure did like pie that day.

Reg

You came here to talk to me about what I said at the assembly.

Betty

And why do you think that is?

Reg

It upset people.

Betty

You don’t like it when people get upset.

Reg

But you do?

Betty

You’re not the only one that feels the absence of your father. People here are hurting. Disoriented. And with your sister gone, you’re the last standing MacLean. Your voice carries more weight than you might realize.

Reg

I hid. During the raid, I got in a storage space and I hid.

Betty

Does that make you angry?

Reg

Why does it matter?

Betty

Regular boys... can get angry and they’ll just pee on the wall. When clever boys like you are angry... Hmm. You’re lucky not to have seen where that can lead. Just tread lightly. That’s all I ask.

Betty

So you're holding us hostage.

"Hostage" is an overused word.

Betty

I don't think you appreciate how bad things can get down here.

With all due respect, Betty, but you're from Solvang. You have no idea how bad things can get. Now. if you'll excuse me, I have work to do.

Betty

If you don't help us, there won't be a Vault 33 anymore.

The experiment's over, Betty. We have to make our own decisions now.

Betty

We are working very hard on the water issue. What we need is time. And I'm sorry, but you don't get extra rations because of who your parents were.

Reg

Actually, this is still America, so yes we do! We're all down here because of who our parents were! And who their parents were! Our ancestors put themselves first. And you know what, that worked out for them. And for us. I'm not ashamed of that anymore.

Betty

Whatever you're up to, I want no part of it. I just want these people to live in peace.

The deal was for the water, Betty. I can't speak for the future. That's bigger than us.
