45	006D5089	006D5175	Well, we all have a peace deal! We don't attack each other outright. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d5175_1.ogg	Explaining to the player.
46			See, the city survives because we all rely on each other. Without one, the others would all crumble.	Being bluntly honest. Perhaps saying too much.
47			So we've gotta respect that. Even if we don't always agree with each other.	There's undertones here that lately the factions have not been agreeing with each other.
48			It's probably the only reason I'm still alive!	Laughs nervously at the end. This is meant to be a joke, but is actually true.
49	006D508B	006D514E	The Munis? If their auditors weren't always trying to ki-I mean, talk to me, I'd love them. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d514e_1.ogg	Stumbles on his words a bit, trying to hide something.

52			You don't wanna mess with him though. He's tough as nails.	A word of warning to the player.
53	006D508D	006D517F	They're entertainers, mostly. They run all the shows and whatnot by the boardwalk. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d517f_1.ogg	Speaking casually.
54			They sound harmless, but they're actually the total opposite. Word is that they "take care of" anyone who crosses them.	He looks a bit afraid while saying this.
55			That may or may not include me.	He suspects the Showmen want to kill him.
56			Their shows also tend to be really dangerous. Let's just say, viewer discretion is advised.	Making a corny joke at the end.
57	006D508F	006D5156	Glad I could help! Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d5156_1.ogg	More so relieved that he doesn't have to answer anymore questions about the mafia.

59			Gambling and hotels? Check!	Trying to be positive.
60			We also regulate the flow of booze and chems in and out of Atlantic City. Nothing is made or sold without our involvement.	Speaking matter-of-factly.
61			Some may say they're dicey industries, but I can assure you that we keep everything aboveboard!	He's clearly covering for the mafia.
62	006D5093	006D515D	All right. We can talk about something else then. If you want. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d515d_1.ogg	Open to further discussion. A bit awkward.
63	006D5095	006D519B	Oh, that good-for-nothin', cheating, lying.. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d519b_1.ogg	Getting worked up at the mention of Sal.
64			Let's just say that Sal is the reason I am the way I am. In every capacity.	Pause between the first sentence and second sentence. Thinly-veiled anger.
65			If you want to know more, you can ask him about it. I don't want to talk about it.	Sal is clearly associated with a painful memory for Billy.
66	006D5097	006D5163	He was always super smart. Really ruthless, though. I usually steered clear of him. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d5163_1.ogg	Speaking candidly.
67			His family's kinda a mess. 'Cept for Vin. So yeah, people gossiped about him a lot.	A bit sheepish about the fact Antonio is famously a mess.
68			Not too long before he went missing, he'd gotten kinda funny.	Showing a bit of concern for Antonio's mental state.
69			He started forgetting a lot of stuff. Acted real confused.	Billy is describing dementia, but doesn't seem to know himself that's what he's talking about.
70			Dunno what that was all about, but the others all looked pretty worried.	Doesn't understand why people saw this as such a big deal.
71	006D5099	006D51B0	Oh, that'd be Don Quentino! He's been our Godfather since before the bombs! Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d51b0_1.ogg	Eager to finally be able to answer a question.
72			He calls all the shots, and they're usually good shots too!	He clearly respects Don Quentino.
73			People are pretty scared of his sister though. Concerta. For good reason.	Starts to look a bit uneasy talking about Concerta.
74			Let's see. In terms of capos, there's Fabio. Likes to talk a lot.	Fabio is kind of annoying to Billy.
75			There was also Antonio. He was handling our chem distribution.	Remarking casually. "Chems" are drugs.
76			Haven't seen him in a while though.	This is something that's been genuinely bothering him.
77	006D509B	006D516B	A whole lot. Like, a lot. A lot.	Emphasis on "lot".
78	006D509D	006D5142	Is it? Maybe. But desperate times call for desperate measures. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d5142_1.ogg	Trying to justify his behavior.
79	006D509F	006D5173	I know. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d5173_1.ogg	Ashamed of himself.
80	006D50A1	006D514C	Hey, don't mess around like that! You had me going for a second! Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d514c_1.ogg	Laughs nervously. He's genuinely so relieved for this line of questioning to be over.
81	006D50A3	006D517D	Listen, don't talk so loud. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d517d_1.ogg	Annoyed the player keeps persisting with this.
82			Yeah, it's crime. We all know that. You think I was born yesterday?	Getting angry and frustrated.
83			But it's worse than usual. That's all I'll say.	Unhappy with the current state of affairs, yet sworn to secrecy.
84	006D50A5	006D5154	Of course! I do have my ducks in a row from time to time. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d5154_1.ogg	Relieved the player let him off easy.
85	006D50A7	006D5185	Crime...? Whatever do you mean? Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d5185_1.ogg	Playing dumb really badly.
86	006D50A9	006D5172	I don't just say so. I know so. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d5172_1.ogg	Pretending to be sure of himself.
87	006D50A9	006D5172	Anything else you need?	Trying to deflect to a different topic.
88	006D50AB	006D514B	Uh, well, look. Between you and me, I don't do any of that. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d514b_1.ogg	Nervous but at the same time relieved he can finally talk to someone about this.
89			I thought that's what this job would be when my pop gave it to me. But man, was I wrong!	Emphasis on "thought." Really regretting his decisions.
90			They want me to cook the books so they don't have to pay up to anyone.	Really ashamed of this and disgusted by it.
91			We're not supposed to cheat the others. Not this bad, anyway. Things have changed here lately.	Worried about the direction the Family is taking.
92	006D50AD	006D517C	Oh, you too! See ya! Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d517c_1.ogg	Surprised but flattered someone acknowledged him.
93	006D50AF	006D5153	Oh, like what? Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d5153_1.ogg	Open to questions.
94	006D50B1	006D5184	What's on your mind? Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d5184_1.ogg	Casually open to questions.
95	006D50B3	006D515B	I had a very...traumatic experience. Right here in this very club. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d515b_1.ogg	He's very reluctant to talk about this.
96			The end result was me being totally humiliated in front of the whole Family.	Is a painful embarrassing memory he doesn't want to talk about.
97			Now? I don't even shower without these pants on.	Emphasis on shower. Underscoring how traumatized he was.
98	006D50B5	006D5199	I'm protecting my decency, thank you very much. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d5199_1.ogg	He gets this question often and is tired of hearing it.
99			People around here don't have any respect, and that results in pants falling when they shouldn't.	Saying this bluntly as if it's a normal thing to think.
100			I've got all these belts to protect myself.	Sincere about this. He honestly believes they will protect him.
101	006D50B7	006D5161	Sure I do! Well, um. Maybe not. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d5161_1.ogg	Starts off confident, then remembers he has to cover up what he knows.
102			It's just a business, run by the paisans in the neighborhood.	Lying very obviously.
103			Nothing fishy about it. What they're asking me to do is highly unusual.	Blatantly lying.
104	006D50B9	006D51AE	A better question is, what do I not do? Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d51ae_1.ogg	Trying to sell his job as something desirable even though he knows it's not. Emphasis on "not."
105			Uh, well, you know. I do math. Totally. It's all math. I write things down. A lot.	Hiding the truth.
106			Yeah. Normal accountant stuff.	He knows this is a really obvious lie and is ashamed of it.
107	006D50BB	006D5169	Oh...well, I was hoping it'd be obvious. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d5169_1.ogg	A little disappointed no one knows who he is.
108			I'm the official accountant for the Family. Pretty important job, y'know?	Trying to hype up what he does, even though his job sucks. He's more trying to convince himself.
109			I got it from my pop!	Proud of this but also sheepish at the same time.
110	006D50BD	006D6B76	What is it? Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d6b76_1.ogg	Open to questions.
111	006D6B46	006D6B6D	They're all around the casino. The main floor, the kitchen, the hotel wing. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d6b6d_1.ogg	Giving basic directional aid.
112	006D6B46	006D6B6D	Say what you want about the Showmen, but boy are they thorough.	Impressed by his adversaries.
113	006D6B47	006D6B64	I know, I know! Everyone said I should just write it down. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d6b64_1.ogg	Ashamed of himself and pitiful.
114	006D6B47	006D6B64	But I've got a cramp in my writing wrist.	Pathetic-sounding.
115	006D6B48	006D6B75	They're scattered around the casino. One's in the main office by the entrance. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d6b75_1.ogg	Explaining where to find the terminals.
116			There's a few in the offices in the basement. Another one next to the vault.	Still explaining.
117			Think there might even be some in the storage rooms and the kitchens.	Trying to remember where all of the terminals are.
118	006D6B49	006D6B78	The caps are down in the vault. It's locked up tight, so you'll need to hack your way in. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d6b78_1.ogg	Explaining seriously.
119	006D6B49	006D6B78	The slots are exactly where you'd expect to find them. The casino floor!	Explaining with a positive attitude.
120	006D6B4A	006D6B67	Well, uh, you see... The auditors are sort of uh, here already. And they want to kill me. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d6b67_1.ogg	Very awkward and afraid to admit this.
121	006D6B4A	006D6B67	I tend to avoid bodily harm, so it wouldn't be a good idea for me to get involved.	Skirting around the fact he's a coward.
122	006D6B4B	006D6B69	We usually all get along. We have a peace deal. No one whacks each other without good reason. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d6b69_1.ogg	Explaining with honesty.
123			And when they do, it's on a very small scale, like a personal grudge. Never all-out war. We usually cover those things up.	Explaining truthfully.
124			Things are just...a bit chaotic right now. No one really wants this. Between you and me, I think leadership is going in a bad, bad direction.	Worried.
125	006D6B4C	006D6B61	Isn't it obvious? I've been forging numbers and hiding their dues to get the Family out of paying. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d6b61_1.ogg	Worried and upset, a bit paranoid.
126			This is unprecedented. The Family's never cheated them this much before. But it's not intentional!	Panicked.
127			I'm just...I'm just following orders. I'll be sleeping with the fishes too if I don't do this.	He's tired and worried for his own safety.
128	006D6B4D	006D6B70	Oh, he's here in the club! You'll find him at the bar. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d6b70_1.ogg	Surprised by such an obvious question.
129	006D6B4D	006D6B70	Just... don't trust him. He's awful.	Billy clearly hates Sal and is hinting at that without saying why.
130	006D6B4E	006D6B65	All right, moving on then! Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d6b65_1.ogg	No issues with carrying on.

28	006BAA4C	006BAA9C	So...that Showman you dealt with wasn't alone. A whole lot of them may want me a little bit...dead. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006baa9c_1.ogg	Trying to explain this without sounding responsible. Awkward.
29			They have a radio transmitter set up here in the Casino Quarter. If you can shut it off, they'll come crawling out to restart it.	Unsure of himself, hopeful that this plan will work.
30			Then you just, uh, have a friendly chat with them! With your gun.
31			Just be careful. The Showmen are ruthless.	Desperate and nervous.
32		006BAA9D	Have you ever left incriminating evidence just lying around accidentally for anyone to find because you forgot to incinerate it? Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006baa9d_1.ogg	Nervous and sheepish.
33			A relatable problem, I know. Well, we've got a lot of uh, monetary assets to hide temporarily during the audit. We've stashed them all around here.	Sheepish and ashamed of his actions.
34			If you can find them and toss them where the sun doesn't shine, that would definitely be a weight off me.	Desperate and pleading.
35		006BAA9E	I thought Buttercup would wait a bit longer before sending his goons after me, but turns out they like arriving early. Great. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006baa9e_1.ogg	Annoyed by this and simultaneously afraid for his life.
36			I need you to find them and deal with them, otherwise the next belt on me will be around my body bag.	Afraid for his life.
37			I don't want you to kill them, it's not my way. But they aren't going to go home without a head to display.	Trying to hide how panicked he is.
38	006BAA4D	006BAA7B	Ask that jerk Sal Sticky Fingers. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006baa7b_1.ogg	Angry with Sal.
39	006BAA4D	006BAA7B	He'll tell you what he did. I'd rather not talk about it.	Remembering a painful memory.
40	006BAA4F	006BAAA7	Well, lie! Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006baaa7_1.ogg	Very upset at the thought of doing this.
41			They want me to say we didn't earn as much money as we did so that we'd owe the Showmen and the Munis less!	Very upset at this idea.
42			And then I've gotta hide the money to make it look real. If anyone asks questions, then I'm supposed to make them "disappear."	Still upset, puts emphasis on "disappear."
43			I know you might expect that from uh, the "Family", but this is really not typical of us.	Trying to explain himself.
44			We're supposed to be allies with the Munis and the Showmen.	A bit sad. He wishes things were this easy.
45	006BAA51	006BAA7D	Quit?! You can't just quit the Family! It's a lifetime commitment. And most of the time, we're born into it! Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006baa7d_1.ogg	Is bewildered and aghast at this notion. Can't believe the player is even suggesting something this ridiculous.
46	006BAA51	006BAA7D	Plus, I'm in too deep now. It's too late to just walk away.	Frantically trying to explain his position.
47	006BAA53	006BAAF3	Thank goodness for that! You're just in time, too! I promise I'll make it worth your while! Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006baaf3_1.ogg	So relieved and grateful, scrambling to show his gratefulness to the player.
48	006BAA53	006BAAF3	Okay, first thing's first.	Ready to get down to business.
49	006BAA55	006BAA7F	My pop's a capo. He gave it to me. 'Course, he didn't tell me about all the "extra" responsibilities I'd have. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006baa7f_1.ogg	Bitter about the "extra responsibilities."
50	006BAA55	006BAA7F	Sometimes I doubt he even knows. Things have changed a lot lately.	Worried and a bit grim.
51	006BAA57	006BAA74	Listen, I'm trying my best here! I'm not even a real mafioso. My dad is, and he got me this job. I just don't like killing, is all. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006baa74_1.ogg	Defensive and offended in the first bit. Sheepish in the last bit about not liking killing.
52	006BAA57	006BAA74	I stepped on a beetle a few years ago. I cried for two hours. Do I look like someone who belongs here?!	Embarrassed by this story. Emphasis on "look."
53	006BAA59	006BAA84	Y'know, like, math! Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006baa84_1.ogg	Struggling to come up with an answer.
54			I thought I'd be doing calculations and managing finances.	Nervous.
55			That's what an accountant is supposed to do!	Defensive and worried.
56	006BAA5B	006BAA76	My job itself. I don't think I can do this. I thought being an accountant was all about money. Turns out, it's not. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006baa76_1.ogg	Worried and frantic that he can't do his job. Bemoaning his situation.
57			I handle the money. But there's been uh, expectations put on me that I wasn't aware of. "Desperate times call for desperate measures", they said.	Feeling frustrated and upset by the expectations he can't meet.
58			Except it all flows downhill to me, and it's not really my wheelhouse. I could really use your help taking on these extra responsibilities.	Nervous and upset.
59			And then my dad won't be mad at me!	Getting excited at this prospect.
60	006BAA5D	006BAA86	I'm the accountant for the Family around here. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006baa86_1.ogg	Very unsure of himself and socially anxious.
61			But the job is uh...not what I thought it would be.	Trying to hide just how afraid he is of his current situation.
62			I could really use your help.	Sad and pleading.
77	006BAA69	006BAA75	You came just in time! Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006baa75_1.ogg	Billy is frightened and cowardly.
83	006BAA71	006BAAA6	Don't call me Beltbuckles! Only a wise guy can say that! Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006baaa6_1.ogg	Stammers a bit, trying to act tough but is really afraid.
84	006BAA72	006BAAF0	Hey, uh, I'm Billy. This is a bit awkward. You're here to help, right? Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006baaf0_1.ogg	Billy is very nervous when speaking but pretending to be charismatic.
85		006BAAF0	Meet me in front of the Neapolitan when you land. It's the big casino, you can't miss it!	Trying to hide his fear.
86		006BAAF2	Hey hey, if it isn't my ace bookcooker back at it again! I'll be at Quentino's. You know where to find me! Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006baaf2_1.ogg	He’s a bit more comfortable with the player now, but still stammers a bit.
89	006BCA6A	006BCA6C	I hear a lot less gunfire outside, so that's a good sign! Head to the Neapolitan. I've got a bit more work for you. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006bca6c_1.ogg	Trying to be positive.
90	006BDC04	006BDC58	This new feeling is starting to take hold. I think it's called "hope." Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006bdc58_1.ogg	Speaking dramatically.
91			Uh, not trying to flatter you or anything.	Realizing he sounds weird.
92			Till next time, friend! I'll be waiting here.	Hopeful and positive.
93	006BDC0E	006BDC5F	I've got this genius idea to strategically hide our caps. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006bdc5f_1.ogg	Excited about his idea.
94			Go into the vault and take whatever you can find. Then go back up to the casino and put them in the slots like they're casino chips!	Telling the player what to do with excitement.
95			Then take the chips and bring those to the vault! That way, if anyone tries to rob us, they'll just be stealing worthless casino chips!	Proud of himself for thinking of this plan.
96			Be careful though, there's an Overgrown infestation in the basement. The Showmen and Munis might encounter them before you, if you catch my drift.	Alluding to the fact they probably were turned into Overgrown.
97			You'll also want to chat with Sal before you go. He might have some work for you. That's what he asked me to say, anyway.	Annoyed that he has to deal with Sal at all.
98		006BDC60	I was keeping track of our profit records on some terminals in the casino. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006bdc60_1.ogg	Sheepish, trying to hide the truth.
99			Problem is, uh, these records could be what some would call "compromising." Or "illegal."	Trying to nervously undermine the seriousness of this.
100			I need you to go wipe the records from those terminals before anyone finds them!	Expressing fearful urgency.
101			And uh...I forgot my password again. So you'll just have to hack into them. Think of it like a fun little game!	Apologetic, trying to reframe this into something fun.
102			You'll also want to chat with Sal before you go. He might have some work for you.	A bit grim about the fact he has to mention Sal.
103		006BDC61	I heard from some of the capos that the Showmen left some bugs in the casino. It's rude and thoughtless. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006bdc61_1.ogg	Judgemental and annoyed at this.
104			We can't let them find out about all the trustworthy, aboveboard things we're doing.	Knows he's lying.
105			I need you to track down the bugs using the signals they emit and disable them.	Giving the player instructions, but still nervous about the situation.
106			Just be careful though, you'll probably run into some Showmen crawling around there.	A word of warning.
107			You'll also want to chat with Sal before you go. He might have some work for you.	Irritated that he has to mention Sal.
108	006BDC10	006BDC59	Well, uh, you see... Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006bdc59_1.ogg	Awkward and nervous.
109			The auditors are sort of uh...waiting for me. And they want to kill me.	Afraid and nervous. Doesn't like admitting to this.
110			I'm sure if you talk to them nicely they'll back down!	Naive and clueless.
111	006BDC12	006BDC56	In the vault of course! And the chips are right where you expect to find them. The gambling tables. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006bdc56_1.ogg	Saying it like it's obvious.
112	006BDC12	006BDC56	Uh, not that I would know. I could never really wrap my head around blackjack or poker.	Ashamed and awkward.
113	006BDC17	006BDC27	MAY DAY, MAY DAY! DROP WHATEVER YOU'RE DOING AND GET TO QUENTINO'S ASAP! I NEED- Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006bdc27_1.ogg	Terrified, urgent, panicking.
114	006BDC17	006BDC27	broadcast cuts out	Static noise.
115	006BDC18	006BDC29	We need to get the excess caps out of here pronto! They're all holed up in a bunch of safes. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006bdc29_1.ogg	Panicked.
116			The good news is that we have a professional safecracker to extract it all safely.	Seems a bit hopeful at this.
117			The bad news is that the whole basement is swarmed with Overgrown.	Trying to pretend this isn't as big of a deal as it is.
118		006CA733	We need to hide all the gold to keep up the ruse! Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006ca733_1.ogg	Panicked.
119		006CA733	Take the bars and throw them into the Overgrown holes to hide them. No one will ever think to check there!	He thinks this is a brilliant idea but is still worried.
120		006CA734	We've got trouble coming in! And by trouble I mean Showmen. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006ca734_1.ogg	Anxious
121			They maybe want my head on a plaque. For reasons that are maybe valid. I don't think they're gonna leave real easy. You're gonna have to whack 'em.	Nervous and skating around the enormity of this.
122			There should be three of them total. But hey, if you could try staying alive, that'd be really good!	Trying to stay positive despite being panicked.
123	006BDC19	006BDC21	We've got trouble coming in! The Overgrown are getting in from the basement! All of that chaos gave them the chance! Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006bdc21_1.ogg	Billy is scared and frantic.
124	006BDC1C	006BDC23	Oh, he's here in the club! You'll find him at the bar. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006bdc23_1.ogg	Answers the question promptly as it's easy. He always knoes where Sal is in order to avoid him.
125		006BDC24	Perfect, I'll be waiting! Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006bdc24_1.ogg	Happy to know the player will help him.
126		006D6B6E	Oh, I'm going to celebrate for sure! Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d6b6e_1.ogg	Positive and excited.
127		006D6B6E	I was gonna go to the bar and pretend to fit in.	He's a bit sheepish about this.
128		006D6B6F	Well, actually, I contributed. Sort of. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d6b6f_1.ogg	Trying to hype himself up.
129			I did-well, no. That was you. Well I- Okay no, that was also you.	Trying to think of a way that he was helpful.
130			But I was physically alive during it. And in the relative nature of space and time, I was technically right next to you the whole time.	Using very stretched scientific reasoning to justify him being a coward.
131			So yes. I contributed.	Proud of himself.
132		006DF542	I'm going to head to Quentino's. If you need me, you know where to find me. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006df542_1.ogg	Slyly escaping putting any sort of effort in to help due to his cowardice.
142	006C355B	006C358C	They're scattered around the casino floor and in the offices. Think one's even in one of the hotel rooms! Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006c358c_1.ogg	Trying to remember.
143	006C355D	006C3577	I know, I know! Everyone said I should just write it down. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006c3577_1.ogg	Frustrated he keeps getting critiqued about this.
144	006C355D	006C3577	But I've got a cramp in my writing wrist.	Whiny and complaining.
145	006C3563	006C3599	They're scattered around the casino floor, our offices, and the vault! Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006c3599_1.ogg	Anxiously giving directions.
146	006C3563	006C3599	Say what you want about the Showmen, but boy are they thorough.	He's actually impressed by them.
147	006C3565	006C357C	The triad have a peace deal. We can't disallow any Munis or Showmen from being on our turf. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006c357c_1.ogg	Explaining with a sense of urgency.
148			They can't ban us from theirs, either. Trouble is, they've overstayed their welcome.	Explaining it carefully.
149			They found things they didn't like, and now they want to kill me.	Upset and afraid.
150	006C3567	006C356D	See, uh, part of that peace deal talks about us paying equal dues to each other. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006c356d_1.ogg	Awkward, knows he's in the wrong here.
151			If that is violated, then the harmed parties are allowed to whack whoever's responsible.	Explaining this awkwardly.
152			And uh...	Nervous, afraid.
153			I'm responsible.	Gulps with fear.
168	006CA725	006CA731	Oh yeah, forgot to mention! There's lots of Overgrown in the rail cars! Like sleeping commuters, heh. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006ca731_1.ogg	Sheepishly adding on.
169		006CA731	They're these nasty plant people. Uh, I'm sure you've got this though!	Emphasizing they're gross, then realizing he needs to hype the player up.
170		006CA732	Oh, I think you might've woken the Overgrown up. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006ca732_1.ogg	Sheepish.
171			I guess the Overgrown UNDER-slept.	Making horrible joke.
172			Uh, I'll work on that one.	Regretting his awful joke.
177	006D6B36	006D6C45	Maybe not as soon as next week! Or, well, it could be even sooner. You're being sarcastic, aren't you? Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d6c45_1.ogg	Eagerly jumping to correct the player, then realizing this was a dig at his incompetence.
178	006D6B36	006D6C45	I'll uh, I'll work on my humor while you're gone.	A bit ashamed of himself for being so dense.
179	006D6B3E	006D6C44	You'll want to head towards the transit area, where all the rail cars are. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d6c44_1.ogg	Explaining to the player.
180			I saw your vertibird land when you came in. It's real close to there, on the upper levels.	Trying to give directional aid.
181			I'd be careful though. There's some nasty creatures sleeping in the rail cars.	Giving a genuine but vague warning.
182	006D6B43	006D6C46	I hope everything goes well. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d6c46_1.ogg	Nervous.
183	006D6B4F	006D6B6B	There's a reason I'm hiding out in here. The Casino Quarter's practically crawling with auditors right now! And they're looking for ME of all people! Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d6b6b_1.ogg	He's terrified.
184			You need to track them down and take them out. I don't care how. There should be a sort of "leader" of each group.	Determined through fear.
185			If you take out the leaders, the others will be rudderless. It's pretty much the only chance I've got. So, please. Be careful out there.	He's genuinely afraid for his life.
186	006D6B51	006D6B62	The Munis have showed up to audit us, and I'm sure you know how vicious they can be by now! We need to hide our assets to prevent a, uh, a loss. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d6b62_1.ogg	Sheepish on the last line. He's very scared of the Munis.
187			You'll find some crates of "books" around the Casino Quarter. We need to hide our assets to prevent a "loss".	He thinks this plan is very clever.
188			Trust me. They're filled with Overgrown! They'll never get those caps out!	Fails to realize he also won't be able to get his money back.
189	006D6B53	006D6B6C	There's a whole lot of Showmen gathering outside in the Casino Quarter hoping to bring about my last act. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d6b6c_1.ogg	Afraid, but also feels he's very clever making this joke.
190			Did you like that joke? I thought of it myself. Anyway, I need you to go outside and turn on this signal scrambler. It'll disrupt their comms.	A bit sheepish about how bad his joke was, but gets back to business.
191			Then when they show up to turn it off, just...deal with them. Until there's none left. I'm sure there will be...a diplomatic way of resolving this.	He knows you're just going to kill them, but is trying to sugarcoat it.
192			When you're finished up with that, we've got some work to do in the Neapolitan. And by we, uh, I mean you're going in alone.	Clarifying that he's not actually coming with you, because he's a coward.
193	006D6B55	006D6B63	Hey, I'm working towards it! I've even been listening to this pre-war self-help holotape. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d6b63_1.ogg	Defensive, although he knows this is true.
194			It's called, "Overcoming Cowardice: A Journey."	Recounting the title dramatically to get his point across.
195			More of an odyssey than a journey, I'll tell you that much.	Annoyed by the fact he's not making much progress. Making a pessimistic joke.
196	006D6B57	006D6B71	It was! I mean, at the time it was. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d6b71_1.ogg	Trying to defend himself.
197			But you've gotta understand, this ain't a one time job. There's always trouble with the Munis and their stupid taxes.	Grim and worried.
198			And the Showmen coming to kick my butt.	This is the thing he's really afraid of.
199	006D6B59	006D6B66	That saves my hide for sure. Here's what I need you to do. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d6b66_1.ogg	Happy the player is willing to help him. Ready to get down to business.
200	006D6B5B	006D6B77	He saw how well we did last time and was so impressed he made my position permanent. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d6b77_1.ogg	Even he is surprised by this.
201	006D6B5B	006D6B77	Hurray.	This is sarcastic and lifeless. He doesn't want to still be doing his job.
202	006D6B5D	006D6B6A	Not yet! Ever since you showed up, people have been thinking twice about taking out yours truly. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d6b6a_1.ogg	He's very proud of the fact no one threatens him anymore.
203	006D6B5D	006D6B6A	That hasn't stopped them from thinking about it once, though.	He's naively qualifying the fact they still probably want to kill him, but just haven't tried.
204	006D6B5F	006D6B68	Same as always, just a few loose ends to tie up! Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006d6b68_1.ogg	Chipper.
205			Some book cooking, some number fudging, some uh...disposal.	Listing activities. Gets a bit awkward on the last one.
206			I'm sure it'll be no problem for you.	Goes back to being chipper.
212	006EAA4A	006EAA4C	I need you to go down into the vault. It'll get a bit dicey down there with our uh, Overgrown infestation. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006eaa4c_1.ogg	Awkward, but desperately hopeful.
213			I guess the Overgrown thought our caps were a tasty snack, because they ate them. You'll need to take the caps from them before the Munis do.
214			When you get the caps, recycle them into the slot machines on the casino floor to hide them. Then...just grab some poker chips for the vault!
215			That way, anyone who tries to steal from us will be stealing worthless poker chips instead! Foolproof, right?
216		006EAA4D	So, we've got a problem. I maybe was working on a few important documents on some terminals in the Neapolitan. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006eaa4d_1.ogg	Awkward, sheepish, ashamed.
217			And I maaaybe forgot to delete them. The problem is that the Munis and the Showmen have already infiltrated the casino. So those documents?	Glossing over how badly he screwed up.
218			If they're not deleted in time, well, you can see how that would be a very bad look for the Family. And for me. I need you to delete them, ASAP!	Worried and afraid.
219			I can't really remember my password, so it'll be on you to get in there! But don't worry! I have the utmost faith in you.	Faking confidence in the player.
220		006EAA4E	The Showmen are holding up the Neapolitan as we speak demanding their fair dues, which is really quite unfair if you ask me. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006eaa4e_1.ogg	Indignant and afraid.
221			They've placed some listening bugs around the casino to drop in on our conversations. A clear violation of privacy!	Framing this as the Showmen's fault when they're entirely in the right here.
222			Track down all the listening bugs and disable them. We can't have the Showmen knowing about all the trustworthy, aboveboard things we're doing.
223	006F0458	006F045A	Looks like the Showmen's comms are down! Couldn't have done it better myself! Or at all. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 006f045a_1.ogg	Excited that the player managed to shut down the Showmen's communication system, but also a bit sheepish about his own incompetence.
224	006F0458	006F045A	Just be careful! They probably won't like you very much after this.	A bit naive.
302	0072F40A	0072F427	I-well...it was worth a shot. Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 0072f427_1.ogg	Awkward. Caught in a lie.
304	0072F40C	0072F414	Please, what about my children?! Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 0072f414_1.ogg	Frantic, terrified. Begging for his life.
306	0072F40E	0072F415	Look, can't we just let bygones be bygones? This wasn't what I signed up for! Play sound Billy Beltbuckles 0072f415_1.ogg	Indignant, worried. Afraid for his life.
