[CLOSED] Brave New World: The Final Chapter

(Should sound sympathetic) (shouldn't sound bored or tough-tough)(understanding)

You here to pay your respects, too?

LINE 2 (TAUNT) (ready to fight) (ready to kill)

Oh, now it's on.

LINE 3 

(ANGRY) (FURIOUS) (This is arguably the most important line here. I'm finding that most auditions fit into one of three criteria.

This line shouldn't feel acted. It should genuinely feel real, feel like someone who has gone through pain and feels anger at someone being so disrespectful. Should NOT feel like a Dragon Ball Z demo reel.)

What the fuck are you doing? My brother died at the Battle of Hoover Dam. You're desecrating a war memorial!!!!

(irritated)(angry)

I've got nothing to say to you.

(talking about the past) (should have weight in his words) (sadness) (pride)

It commemorates the Battle of Hoover Dam..... The rangers lured the best of Caesar's Legion into Boulder City..then blew the whole town up.....
...The NCR  lost a lot of men ......My brother.. sacrificed himself to save the others....

(Accepting an apology)
All right, apology accepted. Don't let it happen again

(reloading your gun)(aiming) (shooting) (combat noises)
Do some for taunts, yells and getting shot

Accent: North-American accent. Can't take a British accent for this role. I realize it's odd that I am mentioning that I can't take a British accent even when some of the sound signatures clearly have a British accent. But a British accent in New Vegas and all of the Fallout games is a huge no-no. But I pointed links to some of these characters so that you can get the personality and tone I'm looking for. But overall, they need to have a North-American accent.

[ROMAN SOLDIER SPEAKING TO A REBELLIOUS SLAVE] 

[AN ARROGANT KING SPEAKING TO A PEASANT]

So, another desert rat comes slinking in for the shade. But I suppose you're more than that, are you not?.........This is no place for the faint of heart and no one comes down into this vile pit without purpose………….My men tell me you have words for me...(commanding).....Speak.

 [ROMAN SOLDIER SPEAKING TO A REBELLIOUS SLAVE] 

[AN ARROGANT KING SPEAKING TO A PEASANT]

(peering) (arrogant) (cold) 

I can see right through you profligate….. You do not fool me…...Your efforts are admirable albeit foolhardy……….I would have you nailed to a cross…….but…….. I wish to learn of your intentions. What brings you here?

 [ROMAN SOLDIER SPEAKING TO A REBELLIOUS SLAVE] 

[AN ARROGANT KING SPEAKING TO A PEASANT]

The NCR hostages? You want me to free them? (small snide laugh)  No. I will not free these profligates.(prawf-leh-gehts) Nor will I listen to you.

WARCRY 

Men! To me! Destroy the profligate!!!!! 

[Pointing a rifle from a distance) (Finds target quickly running towards the left)


There he is!!!
There she is!!!!

(Someone you don’t like) (rude tone)

You're in my way.
Leave (rudely)

(Furious) (If you’re acting this correctly people should be turning around and looking at you funny)
(brooding) (angry eyes)

You..…. What did you say to Mother Pearl?  ..(yells) (demanding)  Answer me, savage!!!!!!!

[Someone explains the situation to you)(You lower your guard begrudgingly)


(warning--->) Mother Pearl has granted you clearance..... *Do not* press her kindness.

(cold eyes) .........Know this.....I will *never* trust a savage......…

(angry) (Someone insults you) (you answer back with hostility)

Disgusting….. You speak like any other savage. And Mother Pearl believes you to be different?......No. You risk too much. We can't allow this! (Attacks)

[Lower your guard) (warning)

Fine…... Mother Pearl has given her orders….Just know your place, outsider.

(Attack)(Don’t blow out the mic) (lower your gain and your recording volume and shout!!) (choose an area that's enclosed and with soft materials, ie. a closet to prevent reverb and echo)

Brothers, put this animal down!!!! (Attacks)

(calm) (condescending) (cold)(rude)

I have nothing to say to you, outsider.

(hungry eyes) (wants drugs) (desperation) (pain)

Do you have chems, buddy? I could really use a fix.


(horror) (needs the drugs) (there's no drugs) (needs drugs) (now)

What?! I need a fix now!

(hungry eyes) (wants drugs) (desperation) (pain)

If I had two caps to scrape together I'd buy the materials to make my own, but my damn hands won't stop shaking....
...This guy named Dixon..... Something about him seems sketchy, but I can't stop now... Last time I stopped, I felt like I was going to turn inside out.

(Desperate} (Has stopped taking the drugs) (So a bit more clear headed) (but getting withdrawals) (Pain) (sickness)

Please, find them soon. I can already feel the withdrawal effects taking hold.

LINE 1
(Sees a civilian) (This person doesn't belong) (Polite) (but mentioning they shouldn't be there) (Military) (soldier tone)

This post isn't someplace a civilian ought to be.

LINE 2
(Slightly suspicious) (Sees a guard in uniform) (doesn't recognize them)

You a transfer from one of the other posts?.......... I haven't seen you around before.

LINE 3

You're really not supposed to be here.

line 4
(talking about enemy troops)

Just the usual...................... Legion scouts try to slip across the river a couple times a week......... but they always end up floating downriver with holes in their heads.

line 5
(friendlier tone)

Oh, right............. She radioed ahead and mentioned that somebody was coming by... ............(suspicious)........Odd that she'd send a civilian instead of a trooper, though.

LINE 6
(SOLDIER TONE) (BUT POLITE)

(Line- home) and not (lih)

Ranger Station Alpha. Ranger Lineholm is in command here.

LINE 7
(TALKING ABOUT THE RANGERS)

(with pride)

(he's a Ranger)

I'm not really much of a historian. The short version is that the Rangers are the elite of the NCR military............ Best fighters in the wasteland.

LINE 8
(SAYS THIS AS A GOODBYE)

Don't get killed out there.

(warning someone) (military tone)

What are you doing here? You don't have clearance.

(friendly) (military tone) (friendly tone) (acquaintance)

Trouble sleeping again, huh? Well, do yourself a favor - try and get some rest.

(Disgusted) (someone has wronged you) 

(You should be yelling this line) (Someone you absolutely despise)

(Should not sound monotone) (Should not be a snarl) (Should be a half-yell)
Get the hell out of my sight!

(Slight cunning to his voice) (but still a military tone) (talking about a spy)

....Smart man........ I could use somebody who can operate under the radar around here. Whoever our mole is, he's been slippery. Whenever one of the MP's gets too close, he changes his habits.

(Shh!!!!!!) (spy to spy)

Christ, keep it down! You want to blow the whole thing? We've worked years for this.



(Your plan is working) (Slightly dark tone) (things are working just as you planned)

Perfect....(smiling).... This has turned out better than I'd ever imagined.


(Scheming) (happy) (rewarding a spy) (shouldn't sound like a thief or a fiend but more like a soldier) (cunning) (manipulative) (tricky to pull off)

This will pay dividends for the Legion for a long time to come.... I was with Hsu (shoe) when the bomb went off. He'll never think to investigate me for it.


(Don't say Caesar like see-zur. Say it as Kai-zarr)

(Kai like sky) (zahr like czar or bizarre) Ky-zahr

(Sense of pride in his words) (You are doing the master's bidding)

I'll make sure Caesar (NOT See-zhur) himself hears about your success today.


(Should be said sarcastically) (didn't like Crenshaw) (killed Crenshaw)

Poor Crenshaw. He's pulled his last prank.

(Proposing a terrorist attack)

Good. Try to plant the explosives quietly if you can - you'll make both our lives easier.

(Plan failed) (years of your work down the drain)

(Should be shouting)
(You lost everything because of one man's careless mistake)

(Fury)
What?!!! You idiot!!!!! I spent years earning his trust. The whole point of you heading up this operation was to preserve that trust!

LINE 1

playing at being a showman} (Pimp) (player) (smooth) (charismatic) (hard to dislike)

Welcome to the Casa Madrid - cheapest, cleanest whores in all New Vegas. If you want to know the rates for poon, talk to the whores.

LINE 2

Old Maude... Sometimes you can afford the creamy veal of a Sweetie, and sometimes you got just enough caps to buy a tough piece of jerky. {Ha!}

LINE 3 (smooth) (pimp) (talking about a beautiful girl) (subtly selling the girl in a way that seems attractive)

Oh, I know everything ........how she smells............how she tastes............how it feels to slip her on and wiggle.{Ha!}..Damn fine woman, but damn expensive, too. Just ask Saint James - he spends near every cap he gets on Sweetie's sweets.{Ha!}

Well, it’s funny you’d ask, stranger….
My grandfather….
He was a good man…He took care of me when ma and pa passed away….
...had a great heart….always willing to lend a helping hand..
About a few years back, he was helping with an expansion…Farmers wanted more land to work with so he went about propping fences….
...........The whole day was a blur…..but I still remember….
I was gathering supplies ………….when I heard a scream…..
Thought it was my imagination….
...It just felt…unreal.
...........I heard screaming......................Shouting.
...........Laughing.
......Gunshots.
(teeth clenched) (hate) (pain) It was the Fiends….
Not sure how…..…or what was goin' on…..but they came through the town…..............
My grandfather was lying there…............slumped over by the road….
We tried to get him to the local clinic..but….. it was too late……

IN SUMMARY of her personality and acting style:

COMPASSIONATE but AUTHORITATIVE

Late 20s to early 30s

Tone: Medium high, Medium to Medium-Low

(distressed)

This isn't really a good time. What did you want?

(upset and angry)

It's not something I'm willing to discuss. Now if you'll excuse me, there are other people waiting.

(surprise) (talks fondly of Julie) (likes Julie)

You know Julie? Not everyone in the NCR sees eye-to-eye with the Followers, but they're okay in my book, mostly because of her.

(talks about a crime) (They sent a messenger to ask for peace and he was beaten....and she's describing that incident. Should have weight in her words)

In a manner of speaking.... Our envoy was brutally beaten, and only barely survived..... My superiors ordered the relief mission scrapped.

(angry) (hates another person)

Then he should watch his back. We know for a fact that the envoy made it to their headquarters.

(giving food to the poor) (compassion)

Welcome. There's food and water here for any citizen of the NCR. Please, have some.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER:

Caesar is not said as see-zuhr. It is said as Kai (like sky) and Zarr (like czar or bizarre) but said together as kaizarr



(condescending) (arrogant) (cold)

{KAI-zar} Caesar has permitted your weapons to be returned to you while you serve him.


None may enter without {KAI-zar's}Caesar's permission.


(condescending) (arrogant) (cold)

You've carried out {KAI-zar's} Caesar's will, but I must confiscate your equipment again.

Are you ready to proceed into the underground vault?

{KAI-zar} Caesar has forbidden you to leave until you’ve carried out his will

You may go.

{KAI-zar} Caesar has put a lot of trust in you.

You are free to leave.

(wah-lei) Vale.

You are free to leave.

Very well. I must confiscate your weapons.

Speak to me when you are ready and I'll have your weapons returned.

{annoyed} You waste time, then.

Done.

Very well.

(grateful) (thankful)
I'm so much happier now. Thank you again.

(Excited)

I can't believe you're talking to me, this is so cool! I mean, uh... dude, what's up?

(Poem)(talking about how he got in trouble for a poem

I wrote this limerick the last time I went to Freeside.......

"There once was a fellow called Garret
whose sister she did love to bare it.
She flashed it around, all over town,
so if you would screw her, beware it.

{back to normal speaking} I, uh, got kicked out of the Atomic Wrangler for that one


Poem (he's not a good poet)

(But you have to show emotion) (because *he* thinks he is a good poet)
(and puts his heart and soul into his poem)

Her eyes are bright as radioactive sludge, glowing with the light of love.
But when I talk to her, she laughs and mocks and has her brothers beat me.
Oh, why do nice girls hate me?


(renewed purpose in life) ( a longing) (an opportunity) ( a wish that..may come true) (excited)

Do you think the Followers of the Apocalypse would take me? I remember all those books they brought us when they visited our tribe.

Friendly:

Hey, nice to meet you. Do you need help with something?

(Denies at first) (Nervous)

Tapes in a safe?........... I'm sorry......... I don't understand.....What are you talking about?!(shakes his head)

(Sees the tape)(mutters under his breath in fright) (investigator is prying) (may go to prison) (gets caught) (scared for his life)

……..How did you?!!......... (heavy breathing) (scared) Ok. ok.. What do you want? (heavy breathing) What do you want from me?

(threatens you) (has a bomb) (threatening)

You see this? (Shows you a metal cylinder) I press this button here........ and *all* of Gomorrah burns to the ground....You don't want me to do this....... Do you?........... I've watched you.............I've seen what you've done....... ...(sadly) I know you can kill me........I'm giving you a choice......... You can kill me........or......you can give me the tape and we both walk away nice and quietly.

(looks away pensively...then slowly looks you straight in the eyes) (disturbing)

They’re not all dead. (small undertone laugh) They'll just fester and rot (laughing)

(in front of a psychiatrist)

(confused) (distraught) (unstable) (sad) (excited) (Has to sound mentally ill) (should sound tormented) (should sound like he doesn't enjoy what he does but he can't help it) (disturbed)

I……I don’t know....….I..I just *have* to. .....I can’t explain it….(getting excited while he says this) it makes me happy. It brings me joy….. You wouldn’t understand…. No one understands…….. (disturbing voice) But…I I LOVE doing this. And (crying and laughing at the same) And I don’t know why......... (laughs)....(whispers) (smiling with tears in his eyes) It makes me happy.

(welcoming) (slightly friendly) (but not bubbly) (more of a tone of a soldier nodding his head Good morning to you when you walk by him) (Should sound conversational) (not monotone)
Welcome to the range…… Feel free to use any open lane.

Sure.... The elder's already given the okay.... Unfortunately, you'll have to use your own weapons and ammo.

(slightly amused) (but has the presence of a polished soldier)
Torres must be getting desperate if she's asking you for help…. I'll tell you what I told her......My records show that Initiate Stanton was the last to check it out…….Although.....it does look like he returned it a day later.

Bye.

Farewell
Farewell Outsider

(acts irritated and then kids around)

Hey! Can't you see I'm busy here?..........Nah, I'm just kidding. This has gotta be the most worthless patrol duty on the whole base….. They *never*  attack this gate.

(talks about a prank)(should have glee in his words) (relishing) (laughing about it) (telling a funny story)

(laughing) So get this….(laughs)….I dropped some firecrackers in the toilets too….. That was the real bad one for me…..Turns out there's no way to replace the toilets now. Toilet company blew up in the War. I think they'd just have shot me if they weren't shorthanded.

(threatened) (life in danger) (assassin)(serious tone) (not a joke)

(FRIGHT) What??!!!!  What’s goin’ on?!!! ....WAIT!!

(eyes look up and down) (spits on the ground metaphorically)

What is it, savage?

 
We haven't seen the last of each other, savage.

(warning)
These are extraordinary privileges. Don't abuse them.

(Giving orders to someone you feel is inferior)


Get those ants handled, savage.

(Introduces herself) (cold personality)

I'm Raquel, Master-At-Arms for the Nellis homeland...... Mother Pearl, our Eldest, wishes to speak to you.


(Harsh) (cruel) (giving orders)

It's not in progress if you're up here talking to me. Get it taken care of.


(someone is about to walk away) (You point your rifle at him) (You motion with your elbow to a team behind you)

Unacceptable. You've made it this far, probed our defenses, seen our faces....Mother Pearl's invitation is mandatory, not optional

AUDITION LINES:

(Soldier)(cold) (menacing)(cold eyes) (threatening)(ready to kill) (2 versions)

You will do exactly as I say...  Do I make myself clear?  (brooding)

(Speaking to a lower-ranking defiant soldier) (tone should be condemning and insulting)(Putting him in his place)

Stand down soldier!!!  

(Someone offers her supplies) (Should have a soldier tone)

At this point, I'll take anything you can give me. We need more troops, fresh supplies, and medical relief.

{Awed} (Someone she admires) (but still a soldierly tone)

You're some kind of hero, huh? I heard about how you saved the President's life. That's incredible.

(Cold) (someone she despises)(menacing) (brooding)

You've got a lot of nerve walking in here

(shock) (numbness) (Someone she cared about has died)

I just can't believe it... he's gone..... It doesn't even feel real.

(talking about an assassin)(serious tone)

It started about six months ago...........At first it was just supplies going missing..........we figured it was refugees.......Then people started dying.
Always a single bullet to the head....... always from extreme range..........We've lost eight refugees....and three soldiers to this son of a bitch.

(angry) (rude) (someone treats you poorly)

What the hell do you want?

(Welcoming someone) (friendly)

Hello and welcome to Gomorrah. How can I help you?

(apologetic)

Sorry, we don't have any hotel rooms available right now, but feel free to gamble or help yourself to our other services.

(talking about someone you really hate) (taking a risk) (You hate Cachino) (taking a risk but you let someone have Cachino's keys because they're going to take care of Cachino) 

You make an excellent point..... I never liked Cachino.....You know what......(thinks).......I'm gonna give it you....... Here you go.

(flirting)(You find a man attractive)

I sure do, but loose lips{giggle} sink ships.

I...{stammer} well, since you ask so nicely, and I'm not sure I could resist those pretty eyes. What do you want to know?

(Irritated) (military tone) (stern)

Yeah?

(Stern) (Soldier) (Someone who isn't a soldier is going through an unauthorized area)

This area isn't safe for civilians. You don't want to get caught by the Great Khans.

(Looking at a report) (The report looks like a hacker had a part in it) (Confused) (irritated) (waste of time) (slightly upset)

You must be mistaken - I haven't filed any report like that. Trained deathclaws???   I'd have remembered something like that.

(Talking about another person) (She doesn't respect Officer Lenk)(Soldier tone)(stern)


......It''s a damn shame......There was a lot of talk about expelling her from the Rangers.... especially once the gambling and drinking started.....Being posted here is her second and last chance, and so far.....(cold eyes)..... I'm not impressed.

(Warning) (but polite) (soldier tone) (holding rifle) (wearing military gear)

You don't walk like any trooper I've ever seen, but I'll let it slide. What do you want?

(Stern but polite)

What brings you to Ranger Station Bravo?

(friendly) (neutral) (but military tone) (soldier tone) (feminine)

Something up?

(explaining what she does)

We're here to make sure the Legion doesn't try to sneak around Lake Mead and try to come at us from another direction.

(Neutral) (Says this as goodbye)

Yep.

See ya.

You got it.

(giving supplies reluctantly)

You're not stationed here, but your rep with the NCR speaks for itself. It's mostly rifle rounds, but I'll throw in a few boxes of pistol ammo.

(going a bit out of her way to help you)

I really shouldn't be doing this for you, but there's no way we're gonna use all of this or be able to carry it with us.

(Soldier) (stern) (unwavering)

Sorry, it's against regulation for me to give away NCR supplies to anyone not stationed at this post. Wouldn't want you using it against us.

(And that's all of her lines in the game. Please treat your audition as the final product)

(confused) (reading a report) (the report is wrong) (should still have a soldierly tone) (Huh??)

"High casualties?" We've had one broken ankle... but nobody at this post has died.


{suspicious} (irritated) (civilian walking through)(not overly harsh but a stern tone) (soldier)

This is a military outpost. Why are you here?


(angry)(not furious) (but someone is giving you attitude)

Do a fucking headcount, then! Everybody's right where they're supposed to be.


(irritated) (you detect a mistake)

Reyes got the numbers wrong - not much more to it than that.

The Legion is aware of your mercenary ways and has decided to encourage you work *for* us rather than *against* us.

I've provided you the location of a drop box…..Every few days, we'll place Legion coin inside.

Though you aren't of the Legion, you've aided us more than once……….. We acquire many items on our raids, some useless to us……… some… forbidden.

I've provided you the location of a drop box where you can obtain these items…. The box will be replenished every few days.

Please be aware that we'll assume any items left in the box will be unwanted and be removed and destroyed.

My message to you has been delivered, and I've got other places to be.

Vale (Wah-leigh) = Said as goodbye

As long as you are not an enemy of the Legion…. payment will continue.

Stay an ally of the Legion and we will share our provisions with you……..If you work against us - or become an enemy - our deal ends.

So the Reds finally hit us……………just like I always said they would.

Vegas is still there….. as far as I know……… but that probably won't last long.

Didn't get accepted into one of the Vaults, so I did the next best thing and had this place built.

Got massive debts but who cares now?
(laughs)

It's every man for himself now.

Had to take care of the Paulson boy since he knew about this place

These supplies are for me and nobody else.

There's a woman and her daughter up in one of the rooms in the lodge
(close mouth laugh)  

Might go pay 'em a visit tomorrow, a man's got needs.

Am I selling? Yeah. Am I selling to you? No. Sorry to hurt your feelings, but you're small time. Move along.

Is there some reason I should be talking to you?

You took out a Deathclaw nest? Either you're lying, or you're tougher than you look.

I'm a salesman. I swing through McCarran and the dam once a week or so to take orders. But lately I spend most of my time in this piss heap

Do I look like a fucking arms caravan to you?

Get a clue. We have caravans. We deal in bulk.

(needs help) (desperation) (thankful you're there)
Thank goodness you're here. My squad needs help!

(Anxious)
Any word on my friends?..Have you heard anything??

(needs help) (desperation) (thankful you're there)
My squad was ambushed by a Legion party lead by Alexus. He was taking us into the mine up ahead... but I managed to get away...I...I need to help my friends. They're still in there!! Please...you need to help me!!

(Anger) (Frustrated)....

This is an emergency.. How can you be asking for payment?

(Despondent) (sad)

There's no way I can take on the Legion by myself.


(thankful)
Really? I can't thank you enough.


(desperation)(friends in danger)(gravely concerned)
Can you hurry?!!  ... My friends won't last long with all the radiation in there

(Irritated) (warning) (shouldn't sound malicious)

I'm not getting involved in your fight, friend.

(Guilt) (Admitting to a crime)

……….I suppose there's no point in denying it any longer……I killed Corporal White to protect Westside's self-reliance….It was rash…and I regret it now.

(Negotiating) (conviction) (Westside should be said as one word)(concern about his community)

'll surrender on one condition - you protect Westside's secret. Without that water, this community won't survive long.

(adamant)
Then you leave me no choice.

(agreeing on a deal)(shouldn't sound shifty) (more like he's trying to work on an honest deal)

Twenty percent it is. Etienne won't like it, but at least our secret will be safe.

(no deal)
That's not a bargain I can accept.

(making a promise that it won’t happen again) (thankful)

Thank you. What happened was regrettable, but I'll make sure it never happens again.
(Surrender) (sad but a sense of freedom at the same time) (guilt removed from shoulders but...awaiting punishment)
....I'll turn myself in. Thank you for understanding.

I'll take it from here. (taking charge)

Boyd's in there with a prisoner right now. Boy is she pissed (standing in front of a door)

(respectful) Not at all ma'am. I'll get right on it.

(Telling a criminal to get up) Get your ass up.

(surprise) (Assassin is free) What the?!!!

(killed by Silus) A death gurgle.   (He gets killed by Silus)

(aggressive) (cold eyes) (ready to kill) (killer)

I'll point my rifle anywhere I want to, you hear?

(alerted) (ready to kill) (raises weapon to your head)
Put your hands up in the air or I WILL fire!!!

(menacing laugh) Thought you'd sneak up on me?!

(small laugh) (impressed)
you got some stones on you, son.... I like that. What can I do for you?

(disbelief)

A Brotherhood base? Here? Are you shitting me? No one's seen them for years.

(looks at a device) (disgust in his voice)

Seen plenty of these in my day....and I know just how to spring 'em.... Hold still.

(trying to calm someone down) (making a hand motion down) (trying to calm) (take it easy)
Now, now. Calm down. ...Let's....let's just head back to my camp

(kidding) (but not goofy)

Just having some fun with ya. No harm done, right?

[If male player] You seem a little lost, friend. Why don't you head inside, get your bearings. Talk to Cook-Cook.

[If female player] Well, hell-oooo sunshine. Aren't you a sight? Cook-Cook will want a taste of you. (perverted laugh) Why don't you head inside little lady?

Oh, it's you.... Change your mind?

(Serious tone)(imposing danger)
Yeah, you go talk to Cook-Cook...now. He doesn't like to be kept waiting

(Should get the sense that he's leading you somewhere you don't want to)

I'll let you through. Have fun.


Well....we'll be waiting..just in case you ever change your mind.


Cook-Cook is Cook-Cook. Why don't you see for yourself? I can't do the man any justice with words.

(Getting ready to kill someone)

Aw, shit. We've got a bounty hunter, boys! Bounty hunter!

[About to kill someone)(playful and menacing tone)

And where the hell do you think you're going? The party's just getting started.

DINNER TIME BOYS!!!! (war cry)

(MANICAL LAUGH)

Private, why did you stop?!!!!!

OPEN FIRE!!!

Open FIRE! THAT’S AN ORDER!!!!

You will follow my orders private. Do you understand me? DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?!! OPEN FIRE!!

NOW!!!!!!

Noooo........Elise...... (grief and pain and sorrow)...(wailing ELISE'S NAME)  ELISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(crying)

You killed my daughter. (Fury and hate) YOU KILLED MY DAUGHTER!!!!! (indiscernible yelling and pain)

FLAILS OF GOD!!!! FLAILS OF GOD!!!! (Rushes forward to attack)

FOR THE FALLEN!! (PAIN, ANGER, CRYING)

(Talking about his torture)
They brought me into the camp...wanted me to talk...one of the Legion soldiers....grabbed a knife...held it under the fire....told me he'd get me to talk...First started with the toes...said he'd move slowly...I screamed as it touched my skin...burning through and through.....He cut through through my hands and......

(Sad) (Nostalgic)

I'm thankful I was able to get out of there....but..I'll never be a Ranger again....It hurts..you know...never being able to do the things I used to.....

(Talking about his favorite gun)

Been shooting with her so long... couldn't bring myself to toss her away. Would have felt guilty to part with the old girl.

(impressed)

 Took some skill to bring down that Fiend. You done good.

This audition actually has all of his lines in the game. You do *not* have to voice all of them in the audition. Choose whichever lines you feel work for you.

(Introducing you to the bar)

Welcome to the 188 Slop & Shop. Like our slogan says, (laughs in between, small short chuckle)  "It's better than nothing."

(Looking for drinks and making you a drink)

You bet.

Let me see what I can do for you. 

(Sees you again)

Feeling  thirsty ?

(He’s asked, “Is this place safe”?”)

Is this place safe? …. This place is as safe as it gets…..... There's been reports of trouble down south, but me and Michelle can handle ourselves….And there's plenty of soldiers about, so that helps.

(He’s asked, “Why is business so good here?”

Because this is the only stop left…... When 15 shut down...95 became the route NCR citizens use to get to the Strip….. And *this* stop right here is where it’s at….One way or another…... they’re sittin’ in *these* chairs. If they hit it big, they’re drinkin….and…..well....if they didn’t hit it big....you bet your ass they’re still drinkin’ here..... 

(talking and explaining about why and how they escaped from Primm)

Michelle and I used to run a little shop down in Primm.

Course there was a prison break north of town…..Bunch of inmates got out and it was hell….. They just about shut down I(eye)-15…….When traffic dried up, we took to our heels to find us some customers…...We skipped town *real* fast. There was no way we were staying back there.

(introducing himself)

Samuel Kerr at your service. Me and my daughter Michelle run this fine establishment. We came here from Primm about a month past…... Doesn't look like much, but it's one hell of a location.

(thanking you)

Well..thank you traveler..... It’s good to know that there’s still good people in this world.

(saying goodbye)

Goodbye.

(Talking about a disturbing past) (traumatized) (recollection) (serious) (somber) (fright)

Oh man, I don't even like to think about it......All that goddamn blood..... It was just in the hotel like any other night....I took some chems with the girl I was with, but I *never* black out.....I'm not sure what happened....but this time....I blacked out.....Next thing I knew I woke up......and she was........she was lying next to me..... stabbed dead.

(Thankful)

Thanks for taking care of getting me out of here. I owe you big time.

(Jumping out of his seat) (Thinks you're a hitman)

Who the fuck are you?!!

(Somber) (Fright)

When I saw the body I started screaming, a few seconds later...some soldiers were in there cleaning up the room.

(angry) Hey, fuck you.

(Surprised)

Holy shit! Really?

Uh... Hello? Hi. Are you there? Oh, right. You can't respond.{Pause}Listen, I'm using your robot as a relay to get this message to you.

(Excited) You're the one with that robot, I was hoping you'd bring him my way. Pretty impressive piece of hardware.

(Angry) {Initially outraged} What were you doing looking at my terminal? 

(happy) (surprised) Good to see you! Alive, that is. Have you found all of the components yet?
(stoked) (happy) This is excellent news. I'll send him back to you soon

{Prison under attack} I don't want to get shot!

(irritated)
If I don't have anything you like, well... tough. I don't do special orders.

(cunning in his voice)
I was always the guy who could get things, if you know what I mean. Figured I might as well keep on doing it.

(anger, bitter)
I worked in a casino in New Reno, and one of the pit bosses decided he didn't like me. Framed me over some caps, and I ended up in here.

It's about time a new customer showed up around here. Was getting sick of dealing with the same faces all the time.

This is where the NCR sent prisoners to "reform" through hard labor. I never saw much reforming around here, myself.

Who gave the order?!

Sir, movement!

Sir - they're - they're civilians….children…and…

SIR I WILL NOT FIRE! THESE ARE CIVILIANS! WOMEN....and CHILDREN!

What?!!

NO!!

I WILL NOT FIRE!!!!!

(crying) These were civilians. These were innocent people...

(All of her lines are here) (Short lines but very difficult to act)

(fright) Please!...We're unarmed. Don't shoot. Don't shoot. ... Please sir!! Please we've done *nothing* wrong.

(A massacre. People are being killed around you.)

(Scream of fright)

(Blood curdling scream)

(Mourning)

He….(shivering)…..he…was just a boy. How…(hate in her voice) (pain) (tears) (crying) (confused)……how could you do this? We’ve done nothing. (crying)(sniffling)
(wailing)

(crying)

(wailing) Why did you kill my son?

(gun is pointed at her)

(fright)

no. NO.........


(screams in terror and pain)

(talking to his girlfriend)

“I think we’re gonna be ok. Just doing the standard patrols. Hey….so there was something I wanted to ask you…..You know that song you used to like..I forgot how it went…but it sort of went like (some impersonation)….Well it turns out that some of the men here were…………

(fright) (interrupted)
Wait! What the….

(confusion)
What the hell is going on?

(fright) (lost a brother)
Penwell is down! Penwell is fucking down!

(Should sound sullen) (nervous) (These people killed his family so he's ready to bomb them with a suicide bomb)

"Hey, lookin' for something to replace my old revolver. Mind if I head in?" (On greeting)

"Thanks, I've come a long way." (Told he can go in without a search. Is going to die within literal seconds after this line is spoken.) 

"That's not really necessary, is it? I already told you I got this here revolver, right?" (Told he has to be searched.)

"What?" (Has been asked if he's drunk. This is incredible.)

"Damn, I knew this wasn't going to work!" (Told again that he has to be searched. Drops the act and attacks the player.)

"You gonna ask me questions all day, or are you going to let me in?" (Asked why he doesn't want to be searched

"Howdy! I just done broke the bank over at the Wrangler there and thought I might peruse your fine wares, maybe lighten my purse a little." (On greeting)

"Now hold on there, I'm not packing any heat. Ain't my word good enough for you?" (Being told he has to be searched. Is instantly defiant.) 

"Thank you kindly." (Being told he can go in with no fuss.)

"What? Why the hell not?" (Being told he can't go in.)

"[SUCCEEDED] I suppose it's all right, if there's no other choice." (Speech skill success)

"[FAILED] I just don't see why it's necessary. Now, are you going to let me in or not?" (Speech skill failure)

"If that's the case, then I guess I'll go spend my money elsewhere." (Told he can't go in without being searched.)

"I haven't had a drink all day! Screw this place, I'll go spend my money elsewhere!" (Has also been asked if he's drunk. Instantly offended.) 

"Hmph. That's better." (Player apologised and let him through without a search.)

"See? Told you so." (Simon confirms that he is, infact, not packing.)

(Threatening)

Congratulations, you're under arrest for chem trafficking. Hand over your weapons and come with me.

(Arresting someone) 

Hand over your weapons. You're under arrest!!!

(Threatening)

You don't bribe a Ranger. You'd better have something compelling to say, or you can join Contreras.

(Disbelieving) 

Bullshit, lets see what you've got here...

(Negotiating)

Tell Contreras I'm willing to put in a good report with the brass if he cooperates. Just give me a cut of the action and report any major moves.

(Fear) (About to get killed)

Whoa! Hold on a minute

(Threatening a woman) (Not yelling but cold and threatening...think the movie, Godfather scenes where he says "Don't ever take sides against the family."

You really don't know what you just got yourself into, girlie.

"Uh, hi. I was, um, in the area and thought I'd stop by to look at your weapons. Can I go in?" (On greeting)

"Thanks a bunch." (Being told he can go through.)

"Fine by me." (Told he has to be searched for weapons.)

"No... should I be?" (Being asked if he's drunk right now.) 

"Because I'm not! Can't you just tell? Oh, forget it. I'll just head over to that pawn shop by the east gate." (Being pressed on if he's drunk. Clearly given up on shopping at the silver rush by this point.)

Oh, this old thing? Why, thanks, friend. This here {GEE-tar} guitar is just about the only thing my daddy left me

Darling, where I come from, a lady doesn't just walk up to a man and offer him a job without even knowing him. What's your game?

(talking about his father abandoning him)

Long time ago, now. I never even knew him. Ma always said he was a mysterious feller, always traveling on in secret.

I suppose there's that, but a man oughta know his own Pa, and a woman oughtn't have to work herself to an early grave to provide for her family. After Ma died, I guess I wanted to find my Pa and get some answers from him. Been out here looking ever since, but he ain't an easy man to find.

(arresting someone) Keith! In the name of the NCR, I'm placing you under arrest for illicit gambling and the sale of unlicensed chems.

(disappointed) Dammit, I didn't want you to kill him, just find me some evidence!

(thankful) I'm sure every NCR soldier you've met has said this, but you're a damn hero for saving the President. If there's anything you need, let me know.

Losing Forlorn Hope was a real blow to us - I hope things can be turned around soon.

(anger) YOU SON OF A BITCH!!!! (Right before he kills Keith. Keith taunts Parker about his wife)

(irritated) Look, I don't have the manpower to run your ass out on a rail, so just do me a favor and get lost.

I've heard of you, glad to have you on our side.

Let's move out!

That was some battle. Glad to have you on our side, we couldn't have taken back Nelson without your help. You have my thanks.
Our main targets are the Legion leaders at Nelson. I've uploaded their last known locations to your Pip-Boy.

(thankful)

I hear you killed Driver Nephi. (Knee-fie) My team would've liked to get a shot at him... but we're still glad he's dead.

I'm Lieutenant Gorobets, First Recon. If you're looking to collect a bounty, you should talk to Major Dhatri. (Dot-tree)

(talking about a killer)

Not enough. We've been trying to put a bullet in him for a few weeks. He's strong as a brahmin (Braw-minh)  bull, and he's fast.

Cook-Cook, one of the fiends, ambushed her and Ten of Spades. They both managed to escape, but not before Cook-Cook raped her.

But the offer stands. Give me the word, and I'll put my snipers in position. Otherwise, they'll stay inside the fence.

(Sympathy)

Corporal Sterling was an NCR ranger until he was captured by the Legion. They tortured him pretty badly.

{In agony} Unh... Legion caught me. Said this... was the penalty for drug runners. Please... let me down.

{In Agony} No, please! Don't leave me here!

Thanks for getting me down from that cross. I owe you one

Thanks. You've saved my life, and done the Great Khans a huge favor. I'll be heading back to Red Rock Canyon now - maybe we'll see each other there.

{In agony} No! God, please!

You people are crazy!!!!!!!!!!

If you need to cross Freeside, no one will keep you safer than I will.

(angry) So tell me, did you really think I'd be stupid enough to fall for this again? One of my men saw you go in and out of the Kings' place

Two hundred caps gets you my watchful eye for a trip to the south gate.

Hey, you want the best, you have to pay for it.

To your left here is the Old Mormon Fort. You get roughed up, the Followers there will patch you right up. Not that I ever need their services

(Won't give away special items)

You must be the stranger I've been hearing about. Sorry, but I'm strictly forbidden from offering our tech to outsiders like yourself...besides...I'm busy right now.

MAC-Na-MARE-ah

(Excited) Have you heard the news? Elder McNamara has lifted the lockdown! Good news for this store, let me tell you. I can't wait to start getting more goods.

(annoyed) (busy) (she *has* to help you) The word came down from the Elder that I'm to offer you some of our lesser wares...as if I didn't have other matters on my mind.

(thankful)

Since you helped me, I'll tell you what. I work on some of our busted weapons in my spare time, so I have a few pieces that are kept off the books.

Welcome to the Grub n' Gulp!

Doctor Usanagi runs a medical clinic up the road.

Tell Farber I'll try and have the first shipment sorted in a week or two.

If I get a big delivery brought in, I'll be sure to send a good chunk of it off to McCarran right away.

You could speak to Ranger Jackson. He might have something for you.

Me, I'm Knight - Major Knight. I've been stuck here dealing with these caravans for ages now, but somebody's gotta do it.

Well, having a sheriff who was a convict is better than no sheriff at all... and if he has the qualifications... ..........all right, hand it over.

(He's homosexual but he wants to keep it a secret) 

This isn't the Republic. Oddly enough, Legion's a little more forgiving about... friendships. Out here, it's not as accepted. Not that I mind being friends, it's just being open about it in the Outpost... well, I have to work here.

If you need something repaired... let me know, I can sign the work order. As long as caps change hands, I can put them back in yours.

What are you looking at? (threatening)
Will you quit bothering me? (irritated)
{Eddie alive} I keep an eye on my buddy Eddie. Anybody messes with him and I scramble them real good.
{Eddie dead} (should sound slightly sad) Used to guard Eddie, but not anymore.

Why? It's because I mess up people so bad they don't know what part goes where when I'm done.

That's right. Fuck off.

Not much, just killed a bunch of people. Maybe a couple of kids, too....Whatever.

Dynamite. Lots and lots of dynamite. You should've seen the body parts flying everywhere.

Uh-huh.

Yeah.

I'm from Hub originally, but it's been a long time since I saw it. I'm on my second tour here. Most Non-Commissioned Officers are.

I'm Sergeant McGee of the New California Republic Army, 5th Battalion, 1st Company. If you want to talk about something, speak to Lieutenant Hayes.

This is the frontier of NCR territory, and we're the first line of defense. You won't find much in the way of civilization east of here

We're part scout, part commando, part sheriff. The training is brutal, and I'd say eight out of ten recruits washes out before the end. Before you get your Ranger badge, you've got to prove you can be quieter than a shadow and more ferocious than a Deathclaw.

Something tells me this isn't the first time you've done things that the NCR would find... objectionable.

Here, take some of these. And don't tell anyone where you got them.

What, again? Didn't I just change those damn things? All right, fine - show me the new codes

You from Camp Golf or McCarran? Never mind. Don't really care.

Undoubtedly. Rangers are tough nuts to crack, though, and any force small enough to launch a surprise attack isn't going back in one piece.

Please only voice those which you feel the most comfortable acting.

AVOIDING UNPLEASANT CONVERSATION
It happened three years ago…I……I don’t wanna talk about it.

{Player in NCR gear} I don't remember getting informed about any new transfers to this post.

{Player not in NCR gear} This is a military post. You sure you're in the right place?

Is there something you need from me?

The Legion's got a major crossing point down at Cottonwood Cove, so we keep an eye on them from up here.

If McCarran would send us some more men, we could do more than watch.

Carry on.

The Legion's been sending raiding parties across the river in larger numbers lately. We don't have the men at this post to intercept them all.

Skirmishes, mostly. The Legion raiding parties usually fall back when they know it's us they're up against.

They tell me I'm supposed to sell you weapons. Interested?

Take a look.

Then get out of here.

(Relief) (He's been unable to move in a cave)

{Desparate, relieved} Oh, thank God! I didn't think I'd ever see another human face down here.

(Thankful)

Thanks for getting me out of there. I better get started back to California

(Pleading)

Possibly, but I'd be the wrong person to ask. You'll need to speak to Dr. Schiller, who's on an errand at one of our other stations.

You may want to try Old Mormon Fort in Freeside. They should have a doctor on duty.

Since you're here, I can offer you some medical supplies. I can't give you everything I have but I can give you a few things.

Say something you think would fit

Sorry, my supplies are rather limited, and we can only get more by trading. Which requires money. Money you don't have. Come back when you have some.

We have equipment here to treat most physical injuries - lacerations, broken bones, that sort of thing. We also carry a full supply of antitoxins.

(Sarcastic) (She's talking about a man and a teenage girl)

She's cute, isn't she? Like a puppy, almost. Unfortunately, our Head Scribe's intentions toward her aren't quite so innocent.

(Shaken)(Almost killed by a group of assassins)

…Thank you so much! They ….they were going to kill me! I…I need to get out of here…this…this wasn’t what I signed up for….

I can’t thank you for all that you’ve done for me! I’ll stay out of trouble from now on.

(asked if she’s okay)

…I’m still shaken up. I didn’t even see them. They must have……if…if it wasn’t for you..I wouldn’t be here.

We're property. If you're too young or too old, the men usually leave you alone. Usually.

For sale? I'm a slave, not a merchant. I could give you some supplies every day, though - you are, after all, a friend of the Legion.

Please! Help!! You need to help us!!

Oh, the things you'll see...

You don't look like the regulars we get here...(laughs).
