I couldn't do it. I'm sorry.
DDane
You do not have to apologize for not killing someone. Here, [hands Maximus the diode] get this as far from here as you can.
Why me?
DDane
You're the only one here who's not a total asshole.

[picks up an enormous eggshell] Wow, how big do the chickens get around here?
[scared] Those aren't chickens!
[Ominous growling. The Ghoul looks absolutely terrified.]
Well...whatever it is, I think we can take it! Yep, we got this!
[A gigantic Deathclaw emerges from a building. Lucy is stunned.]
Oh...okey-dokey.
I defer to you in what to do in this situation.
Run!
The Ghoul; Before the War, there was a plan for a special Vault, a Vault for Management. That's where my wife is. Where my daughter is too.
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.
So you think, if my Dad went there, maybe your wife and daughter are there too?
Unh-Hunh.

Guess you saw them Deathclaw things that came up from Quarry Junction. They're fighting around the strip. [scoffs] Big whup. Just another fucking round of change in management. That's all it is. Like one of them merry-go-rounds. NCR, Legion, NCR, Legion, fucking robots...don't matter to me. Always someone trying to tell us what to do. Long as they don't come around trying to charge me taxes, I don't give a fuck.

While the Government twiddles thumbs at the negotiating table with our Communist adversaries from across the Pacific, Captains of Industry gather in Las Vegas, Nevada, to decide the fate of the Free World! And the leader of this history summit? Robert Edwin House, founder of RobCo, the nation's leading robotics manufacturer! So what does this titan of the private sector think about his odds at succeeding where the Government has failed?
Where I come from, which is America, The House Always Wins.
Glad you chose to do the right thing.
Is that what you call killing a man?
Check the coin return.
[Cooper finds a vial of liquid in the coin return]
If Robert House gets Cold Fusion, Vault-Tec gets the bombs. This is the only way to stop it.
Is this what I think it is?
You're a soldier. You've killed before.
In uniform.
Wearing a costume doesn't make it any better. I am giving you the opportunity to save countless lives in exchange for one. I think in this case, the ends justify the means.
People have been saying shit like that for years. I'll stop the exchange. I'll get your Cold Fusion back. But I'm not gonna kill a man to do it.

Fighting the good fight is mostly a series of humiliations.
Hello. I'm Robert House.
From the fucking toilet?
I apologize. I was just very eager to meet you. I know came to Vegas to kill me, did you not?
How would you like to forget everything you've ever known? Everyone you've ever known? Your language and motor skills will remain intact. But every choice you've made, ever moment you've cherished, will be completely and utterly removed from your memory.

Please, yes.

What's making that noise?
BBarv
Roach farm.
CClaudia
How...How big are they?
BBarv
Not big enough for market, but they'll get there.
You met my sister?
MJMa June
Yep, back in Filly. Before the Brotherhood of Steel burned it down. Helped a fellow from the Enclave get through the Shithole to some folks from the NCR who weren't in town when Shady Sands blew up. Pretty slim odds, what with it being Khan country.
...I don't understand what any of that means.
MJMa June
Your sister is dead, honey.
You don't know that. You don't know my sister.
MJMa June
I know the Wastelands better than you. I know plenty well what it does to folks as soft as you all are. I'm gonna tell you what I told her, and for y'alls sake I hope you listen. Go home, Vaultie.
How long have you been pretending to be this guy?
FRFake Robert House
About ten years. [shrugs] It's a living.
Like yourself, Mister Howard, I am an apex competitor. We are the very best at what we do. And I what I do is, I know everything. I know who is making what technology, and I acquire that technology in the most lucrative moment in its span of functionality. This week I'm acquiring Cold Fusion from Vault-Tec.
From my wife.
Correct. It will allow me to stay alive indefinitely, in roboticized, non-biological form, and protect Las Vegas from the coming nuclear war.
Initiated by my wife.
Hmm. Unclear.
Cooper Howard; By Vault-Tec, then.
No. I doubt that, despite what we both heard in that meeting. Vault-Tec is a collision of bureaucrats. Your wife though? I don't know.
