Reg quotes from Fallout

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.

[Turns to see Reg in a voting booth line up] I’m sorry, Reg. I just feel that in times of crisis... you need someone with experience.

Reg

Hey, it’s your vote. No hard feelings, Davey.

Yeah. [Turns around then back again] You know, with the water crisis and the prisoners a- and just all the uncertainty...

Reg

Really, it’s fine. We vote in private booths for a reason.

Right. [Turns around then back again pointing with voter card] And Betty’s already been overseer once.

Reg

Mm. [Motions to Davey for his turn at voting booth] Oh.

I’m gonna vote for Betty.

Reg

I got that impression.

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.
