| 67 | 005FB388 | 005FB3A9 | Eh, no. Last time I stocked that, fifteen pack Brahmin were left up on the roller coaster at Wavy Willards. How about a beer instead? |
No way. Recommendation is not really a question. |
| 68 | 005FB38A | 005FB39E | Okay then, nice and simple, coming right up. |
|
| 69 | 005FB38C | 005FB3C2 | One of America's finest, coming right up. |
|
| 70 | 005FB38E | 005FB3AD | Uh... I've got a container of nuclear waste in the back, but you don't look like much of a Ghoul to me. So... how about a whiskey for now. |
Yikes, trying to make light, but what's this guys problem? |
| 71 | 005FB390 | 005FB3A1 | Neat? Well, you sure as shit aren't getting it on the rocks. |
Chuckle to self. Not mad, just poking fun. |
| 72 | 005FB392 | 005FB3C5 | Oh boy, a customer! What can I get for you? |
|

| 1 | 00602B10 | 00602B3D | A new face. Wonderful! The shlumps around here were getting pretty boring. |
A welcome change to boredom |
| 2 | 00602B3E | Hello there. What're you having? |
Friendly | |
| 3 | 00602B3F | Welcome back, welcome back. Always happy to have a returning patron. |
Friendly | |
| 4 | 00602B40 | Need a little breather from all those caravan runs you've been doing? Can't blame you. |
Impressed by the player | |
| 8 | 00602B11 | 00602B4D | Herschel Klein, author, reveler of life, aspiring playwright, and on certain occasions, bartender... at your service. |
Full of himself. Note: he's really only ever tending bars |
| 9 | 00602B4E | Take your pick from "Herschel's Curated Liquors of Choice," comprised entirely of whatever I happen to find today. |
Starts proud, slips into under breath | |
| 10 | 00602B4F | You're really starting to get that Brahmin dung fragrance like the rest of this sorry lot. Keep up the good work, I guess. |
Grossed out, but trying to be nice at the end | |
| 11 | 00602B50 | Keep showing up around here and I might even remember your name. So what's the news? |
Friendly | |
| 35 | Never mind. | 00602B32 | Yeah, yeah. Leave poor old Herschel to slinging schnapps. Go on then. |
Tiny violin playing |
| 35 | 00602B20 | 006A17E8 | His writings stink! They stink I'm telling you. |
|
| 36 | And he doesn't haunt much better either, believe me. I've had better hauntings after eating one of Rudy's spoiled soups. Kept me up all night! | |||
| 36 | Heard any rumors lately? | 00602B42 | You know that guard we got, Aries? He's got an encyclopedic knowledge of everything strange: cryptids, aliens, killer robots. |
Telling a secret, but he's full of BS |
| 37 | I've been working on a theory: he IS an alien. His spaceship was destroyed when the bombs fell, and now he's stuck working for us just to get by. | All BS | ||
| 38 | Poor guy. Must miss his home planet something awful. | Sympathetic | ||
| 39 | 00602B43 | So the Brotherhood of Steel, right? I heard a rumor it's all fake. Just a traveling theater troupe. They've got a different con in every town. |
Telling a secret, but he's full of BS | |
| 40 | One of my regulars said he saw that Paladin Rahmani lady doing a trapeze act down in Florida. True story! | All BS | ||
| 41 | Here's a crazy one: Brahmin might have two heads, but only one brain... and it's in their udders. Seriously, Rudy told me. |
Telling a secret, but he's full of BS | ||
| 42 | Speaking of Rudy, you ever ask what's in those pepperoni rolls? Human flesh. Heard him slip up and call them "peopleroni rolls" once. I swear! | All BS | ||
| 43 | 00602B45 | Rumor has it that the folks in the Crater are actually astronauts that came down with that space station... but their mission is top secret. |
Telling a secret, but he's full of BS | |
| 44 | Or, at least, that's what one of them told me last time they mugged me. Said he couldn't tell me what the caps were for. Highly classified. | All BS | ||
| 45 | 00602B46 | Here's one I heard: we're all just living in a simulation. |
Telling a secret, but he's full of BS | |
| 46 | That's right: none of this is real. Die here and you'll just wake up in a memory lounger somewhere in Hoboken, New Jersey. | All BS | ||
| 47 | To be honest, I'm not sure which reality is worse! Ha-ha-ha! Thank you, thank you... I'm here all week! | Telling the punchline to a cheesy joke | ||
| 48 | 00602B47 | You know them ghouls? Well, I heard the bombs got nothing to do with it. It's just a side effect of drinking too much Nuka-Cola. |
Telling a secret, but he's full of BS | |
| 49 | Really, a dentist came through here telling me all about it. Said sugary drinks work a number on your teeth a few years, then, pow, you're a ghoul. | All BS | ||
| 50 | 00602B48 | Rumors? What do I look like, some kind of barkeep? |
A little insulted | |
| 51 | I mean, I am, but, really, do I look like one? I'm trying to keep my style a little fresh. | Fooling around | ||
| 52 | What is the Blue Ridge Caravan Company? | 00602B4B | Always with the questions about Blue Ridge. Never "hello, fine barkeep, what's your story?" |
A little annoyed |
| 53 | No one's interested in reading the latest draft of "My Life at the End of the World: A Herschel Klein Story." | Going on a tangent | ||
| 54 | With a special foreword written by Billingsley of the Bolton Greens. | Out of the side of his mouth, and as if the player is meant to be impressed | ||
| 55 | Fine. The Blue Ridge Caravan Company is a caravan company. Hard as it is to believe, given its incredibly cryptic and non-descriptive name, I know. | Sarcastic | ||
| 56 | People pay us money to get things from one place to another place. If you want work, head over to the East side of the tunnel and talk to Vinny. | Impatient | ||
| 58 | 006CCAEE | 006A17E7 | You know, not half bad. And, you want to know something else I just heard? |
|
| 59 | I heard that there's an intelligent and civilized mole rat society that lives underneath Appalachia. Lovely architecture, too. I kid you not! | |||
| 60 | 006CCAF0 | 00602B32 | Yeah, yeah. Leave poor old Herschel to slinging schnapps. Go on then. |

| 7 | On second thought, nevermind. | 006A1800 | It's a good show. But go ahead then, and live with your regret. Doesn't make a difference to me. |
|
| 8 | Sure, this doesn't sound crazy at all. But I'll do it. | 006A17FD | I know, I know, I sound like a schmuck. Can't you see I'm desperate though. I'm begging you. Many thanks and yada yada yada. |
|
| 9 | I found your ghost writings. Here you go. | 006A17F9 | What? You did? I can't believe it. You mean they actually exist? Alright, who's the comedian? |
|
| 10 | Another time, maybe. | 006A1808 | Fine, be that way, but Herschel Klein never forgets! |
|
| 11 | Vinny sent me. He says you're not working up to his standards. | 006A1803 | Ha! Vinny? Standards? I'm surprised he even knows the word, between you and me. |
|
| 12 | Actually, you know what, I'm glad he's furthering his education. Applaud him even! | |||
| 13 | But, uh... he's right, though. I am in a bit of a rut these days. And, ooh, do I hate it when he's right. | |||
| 14 | Let's back up. Are you kidding me? | 006A180A | Whether it's real or whether it's a joke, what does it matter? |
|
| 15 | It's not like I want to steal his ideas, I just want to "borrow" a few. For good luck and inspiration. And any extra you find, for good measure. | |||
| 16 | That doesn't hurt nothing, does it? | |||
| 17 | Just get back to serving the wine, instead of drinking it. | 006A17FB | Ha! Oh uh, you're serious? |
|
| 18 | You know, if I wasn't so busy being pathetic, I'd really give you knock in the... eh, who am I kidding. Help me out, will you? | |||
| 22 | Why do you want a ghost's writings again? | 006A1806 | Look, I know you don't believe me. I barely believe me too. |
|
| 23 | Thing is though, those writings might be exactly what I need to cure my writer's block. | |||
| 24 | Herschel needs his inspiration, I'm begging you! | |||
| 25 | Enough already, get back to work. | 006A17F4 | Wait a minute, how do you know I'm not working? Oh, ok I get it, Vinny has you checking up on me hasn't he? |
|
| 26 | Yeah, that makes sense. I've just been schlepping around lately. | |||
| 27 | Can't believe I'm this far gone for Vinny to notice. Fine, it's not what you think though. | |||
| 28 | 006A17C7 | 006A17F0 | See, I've got a nasty case of writer's block. Honest, I'm telling you, I'm on the rocks. |
|
| 29 | Is life worth living if you can't share your brilliance and beauty with the world? You know, I think I just figured out what I need though. | |||
| 30 | I know this sounds crazy, but listen, rumor has it that there's uh... this ghost... that, well... uh writes. Or wrote. | |||
| 31 | Is it writes or wrote? If it's a ghost would it be past tense... anyway, nevermind that. | |||
| 32 | His name's Jacque or something or other. You ever heard of Torrance House? | |||
| 33 | Sounds like he just litters the place with pages of his writings. Remarkable writings might I add. Hey, if he doesn't want them I'll take them! | |||
| 34 | Go have a look around that house for me, and bring me back some of those writings. That's the ticket! | |||
| 42 | Don't mention it. Happy to help. | 006A17F1 | To show you my gratitude, I'll make mention of you in one of my stories. |
|
| 43 | Trust me, not many people are lucky enough to make it into a Herschel Klein tale! | |||
| 44 | 006A17D5 | 006A1801 | I'll be honest. I think this did the trick. Herschel's back baby! In mind, body and spirit. |
|
| 45 | Ha, "spirit", you see?! It's working already! | |||
| 46 | Oh... and spirit like the drink... triple entendre! A new record! | |||
| 47 | Seriously though, thanks. | |||
| 48 | Well you see, Jacque was actually a malfunctioning robot. | 006A17F5 | Ha! You mean to tell me... a robot... that's priceless. Here I was thinking a ghost is actually out there writing books and all. |
|
| 49 | You know, let's just keep this a secret between you and me. | |||
| 50 | [Lie] Not kidding. Jacque, and his writings are the real deal. | 006A1804 | Well I'll be. The chances of something like that. One in a million! |
|
| 51 | You don't think he'll come to haunt me now do you? Meh, what'll it matter, maybe he could be my ghostwriter. | |||
| 52 | Sorry, I haven't found them yet. | 006A17F7 | Tough break, for the both of us. |
|
| 53 | Just give the grounds around Torrance House a look for them please. | |||
| 55 | That's the spirit! | 006A17FE | Ha! Listen to us! We sound like two loonies, don't we. I thought I recognized you from the nuthouse! |
|
| 56 | Shut up and just get back to work now will ya. | 006A180B | Jeez, alright, take it easy. Herschel do this... Herschel do that. Fine, whatever. May the drinks be poured again. |
|
| 57 | 006A17DC | 006A17F3 | See you around, alright. |
|
| 60 | 006A17E0 | 006A38AF | Where was I? Oh, right! |
|
| 61 | 006A38B0 | Meh, all right. |
||
| 64 | 006A17E1 | 006A1810 | What, are you here to watch the show? "A Paltry and Pitiful Putz", starring yours truly, the washed up has-been... Herschel Klein. |
|
| 65 | 006A1811 | Wait a minute, have I seen you before? Oh, yeah, about that, any luck?! |
||
| 67 | 006A38B1 | Not now, I'm in the middle of a thought. You should go see Vinny. |
