Fallout Season 1 quotes

They call us "abominations." But they created our kind.

"Our" kind? You and me got bit by a different motherfucking bug, my friend.

Ghouls, Mutants, we're kin. And we should unite against our common enemy. They drove us to the point of extinction and then forgot we ever existed. But we didn't forget them. The people who set all this in motion. The Enclave.

I've been Wastelanding for two hundred years. Whatever it is I got to do, I got to do alone.

Unh-hunh. And how's that working out for you?

I've kept myself alive for one reason. To find my family.

Well then, you're gonna need friends. But if you won't join our kind, then you can't know where we live. [knocks The Ghoul out]

Barb Howard

I know more than you know. There are more than twelve thousand nuclear warheads...

Cooper Howard

I am not a board member, I am your husband, and I don't care about your fucking statistics.

Barb Howard

Statistics? This is about Janey!

Cooper Howard

So for our daughter, you would kill millions of people?

Barb Howard

Don't do that! Do not do that...

Cooper Howard

Billions of people! Other mothers just like you! Other daughters just like our daughter!

Barb Howard

Wouldn't you? For Janey, wouldn't you?

You're just a very replaceable part in this machine. And if you forget your place, you'll die. The same thing will happen to me if I fail to communicate this message. We're all in the same boat. And not one of us can stop it. You know that. You wake up knowing it.

Barb Howard

This is not one of your movies with a happy ending. There is nothing we can do. If there was, I would have done it. I have tried to do it. This deal is going forward whether we like it or not. Please, look at me. I am your wife. You know me.

Cooper Howard

I don't. I don't know you, Barbara.

Barb Howard

Where are you going?

Cooper Howard

To fucking do something.

Hank

Kumbaya.

There's a flood coming. You keep your head above water any way you can. You get south of that border and you cling to the highest branch you can find, and you survive. If you have to hurt people, God won't judge you. Don't think of them as human beings. Think of them as Americans.

Hank

Perfect is the enemy of good, Lucy.

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.

Where are we going?

Lucky 38.

Thaddeus

Then we're going in the wrong direction. Vegas is that way.

You wanna save the girl, you're gonna have to get into an impenetrable Vault. Same Vault my family's in. To get there, you're gonna have to cross the Strip. You wanna cross the Strip, you're gonna have to kill a pack of Deathclaws. We need to kit up.

So Lucy's in Las Vegas?

I can see why the two of you got along so well.

Why's that?

Cuz you ask a lot of goddamn questions.

This [the Cold Fusion diode] is for Lucy. She's a good person. She'll do the right thing with it.

Cooper Howard

I know you're a good person. And I know you're trying to do the right thing. I want to believe in people like you, that fight for all the right things, but you don't make it easy. I saw you at the VA meeting last week. Why can't good people like you learn to sell it better?

I don't know. How's that worked in your experience?

Cooper Howard

They're delivering the most powerful technology in the world to the most powerful man in the world. Robert House wants the diode so he can live forever. And Vaul-Tec gets the bombs in exchange. And when they do that...

They'll be the only ones left. And that's what they want.

Cooper Howard

I know how's being transported. If I could deliver it to you, I'll need assurances. No offense, but...

No, I get it. I wouldn't give it to me either. But if it helps, two hours ago an unmarked government plane landed at McCarran Airport. The President of the United States is in Las Vegas. How would you feel about giving it directly to him?

Cooper Howard

You can get me a meeting with the President?

Yes.

Cooper Howard

That would work.

You give him the diode, and we can put an end to 25 years of Resource Wars tonight.
