Xander Harkness quotes from Fallout

Xander Harkness

Sorry to interrupt. Paladin Harkness, representative of the Commonwealth. I understand we're discussing a civil war? I must not have gotten my invitation.

Your Elder Cleric is about to make a mistake. The Brotherhood that you believe in, that I believe in, we are the last bastion of order in this country. We are a bulwark against chaos. If you ask me, fomenting a rebellion sounds a lot of like chaos. You know, back east, it's guys like us who call the shots. People who put their asses on the line. That is foundational to the Brotherhood ethos. Your Clerics, what do they do? Stand around? Give speeches? We are the ones who bleed.

Xander

We are the Brotherhood of Steel! We keep the Wasteland safe! This is what we do! This is what we get to do! Hot dog!

Hey Maximus, can we just be hard-dick for a second?

Um...yeah?

Xander

Unless your guy Quintus gives me that relic, you and me are going to be on the front line, shooting at each other soon. And I know you're very good, but trust me, you don't want that heat. And I don't know, I'm just thinking, if I go home with the relic, there's no bloodshed, you know? I'll be honest with you, man. We are really up against it back home. Without that relic you found, we risk losing the Commonwealth. And if the Commonwealth falls, civilization won't last much longer.

What you mean, "won't last?"

Xander

Look at it out here. It can get worse. Trust me. Just think about it, that's all. I trust your judgment, Maximus. So should you.
