6ConvDiamondCityGenericMoe02SceneGenericNPC: So player's never let go of the bat? Even when they were running?No, that would be suicide. The bat was the hitter's only defense as he ran the bases.A1a
7Whoever had the ball on the opposing team would try to throw it at his head to knock him out. That's what an official "Out" meant back then.GenericNPC: Amazing.A1b

42Player Default: What's a Swatter?Ha ha, a rookie, eh? A Swatter, my friend, is a Diamond City tradition.Y2a
43See it used to be that this whole place was a stadium. And two teams would meet and play a game called baseball.Y2b
44One team would beat the other team to death with things called Baseball Bats, and the best bats were called Swatters. True fact.Player Default: Sounds like fun.Y2c
45MoeGreetSceneBaseballPlayer Default: Sounds like fun.You bet your socks it was. Now how about you pick up a little momento in the form of a genuine Swatter?Moe: The genuine articles...A1a
46Player Default: Look dumbass, that's not how baseball was played.{Irritated} That right, Mister Smarty-Pants? If you're such an expert, how do you think it was played?Player Default: It was America's pasttime. A sport that united families on warm summer days. And it wasn't violent. Mostly.B1a
47Player Default: Look dumbass, that's not how baseball was played.{Irritated} That right, Little Miss Smarty-Pants? If you're such an expert, how do you think it was played?Player Default: It was America's pasttime. A sport that united families on warm summer days. And it wasn't violent. Mostly.B2a
48Player Default: Whatever you say.Well, believe it or don't believe it, you'll be convinced once you swing a Swatter in someone's face. How about you buy one today?Moe: What!? That... That's an original... Look at that paint!X1a
49Player Default: Oh really. What kind of teams were there?There was the Diamond City Demolishers. Big brutes of guys. Played in full Power Armor with special pneumatic arms parts for swinging.Y1a
50Then you had the Lexington Ladies. An all female team, with coach Bloody Mary Sue at the helm. Highest kill count in the league.Y1b
51I could spend all day talking about the Concord Crushers or the Quincy Killmeisters, but you get the idea. It was a hell of a sport.Player Default: Sounds like fun.Y1c
52MoeGreetSceneBaseball02Player Default: It was America's pasttime. A sport that united families on warm summer days. And it wasn't violent. Mostly.{couple seconds of silence as you think about what was just said / Stern} ... I like my version better.A1a
53{Friendly} Now can I interest you in these genuine, authentic custom-made hickory Swatters?Moe: The genuine articles...A1b
54Player Default: What makes you the expert, anyway?{Stern} I'm a native-born son of Diamond City, that's why. Baseball is in my blood. Now are you going to answer my question, or what?Player Default: It was America's pasttime. A sport that united families on warm summer days. And it wasn't violent. Mostly.Y1a
55MoeMQ103ScenePlayer Default: I'll be careful. Thanks.{still a little nervous from before / Nervous} Yeah, yeah, just buy something next time, all right?A1a
56Player Default: Save the warnings for someone who cares.{Irritated} Fine, mister big shot. Never mind.B1a
57Player Default: Save the warnings for someone who cares.{Irritated} Fine, little miss big shot. Never mind.B2a
58Player Default: Ah yes. Gossip. The noisy killer.{slightly annoyed / Irritated} Hey, you might not care, but I have to talk to these people every day. *sigh* Whatever, just buy something next time, all right?X1a
59Player Default: What's everyone's problem with the detective agency?{Nervous} Look, if you ask me, Valentine is a good guy. Saved a lot of lives. But other people think he's just going to bring the Institute's attention.Player Default: I'll be careful. Thanks.Y1a
60{player asks about finding a missing child, you're suddenly very nervous, afraid the Institute is listening in / Nervous} Whoa, listen there. If the paper is right about the Institute, then there's no way I'm getting involved in anyone else's problems.Player Default: I'm not trying to get you in trouble. Just point me in a direction, and I'll be on my way.A1a
61Player Default: I'm not trying to get you in trouble. Just point me in a direction, and I'll be on my way.{persuaded to help / Nervous} Fine. I'll help you out. Just this once.Moe: Head to the alley behind the market. Look for the neon signs. Valentine's Detective Agency.A1a
62Player Default: Fine. Forget it.{Nervous} On your way then. Shoo.Moe: Head to the alley behind the market. Look for the neon signs. Valentine's Detective Agency.B1a
63Player Default: You're a business man. How about we make a trade?{persuaded to help / Thinking} Well, sales have been down this month... Ugh. All right.Moe: Head to the alley behind the market. Look for the neon signs. Valentine's Detective Agency.X1a
64Player Default: You're a business man. How about we make a trade?{player doesn't have enough money, still a bit nervous from before / Irritated} You're a little light in pockets there. Why don't you go bother someone else?Moe: Head to the alley behind the market. Look for the neon signs. Valentine's Detective Agency.X2a
65Player Default: You're afraid of the Institute? Who are they?{Irritated} What? Never seen their handiwork walking all over the Commonwealth? Those synth things? Machines trying to look like people?Y1a
66{Irritated} I ain't eager about being replaced by a Synth duplicate, or having someone who I thought was human suddenly pull out a gun and strike me out.Y1b
67{Irritated} So take your trouble somewhere else. I don't care if you say the Institute's not involved. They might be. That's enough.Player Default: I'm not trying to get you in trouble. Just point me in a direction, and I'll be on my way.Y1c
68Player Default: You're afraid of the Institute? Who are they?{player asks how Synths replace people / Irritated} Hell if I know. One day someone's human, next day they're a synth. And no one can tell the difference. Not until they kill someone for no reason.Y2a
69{Nervous} It was bad enough when the older, robot-looking Synths would occasionally grind a town down to pulp and haul off what was left.Y2b
70{Nervous} University Point was the last loser in that game. Nothing there but Synths now.Player Default: I'm not trying to get you in trouble. Just point me in a direction, and I'll be on my way.Y2c
71Player Default: Fine. I'll help you out. Just this once.Head to the alley behind the market. Look for the neon signs. Valentine's Detective Agency.A1a
72{Stern} And if you're smart, you won't go blabbing that around. That place is mud in a lot of people's eyes.Player Default: I'll be careful. Thanks.A1b
73MoeQuestScenePlayer Default: A card, a mitt, and a ball. Got it.I thank you, and baseball thanks you.A1a
74Player Default: I'm not hunting down baseball memorabilia.{caps in the tin is a saying, similar to "money in the bank" / Tired} Suit yourself, but there's caps in the tin for you if you change your mind.B1a
75Player Default: 100 caps seems light. I need more.I like your moxie. We'll make it 125 caps a piece. How's that sound?Player Default: A card, a mitt, and a ball. Got it.X1a
76Player Default: 100 caps seems light. I need more.Look at that fire in your eyes. All right. 150 caps for each piece, and you better be worth it. Deal?Player Default: A card, a mitt, and a ball. Got it.X2a

81MoeWorldSeriesBatScenePlayer Default: You got a deal.{Happy} Here's your caps. And... thank you! Thank you!A1a

84Player Default: This is a rare find. 250 caps.{negotiating for the baseball bat, giving in to how much you want it / Nervous} That's outrageous! No... you can't put a price on history. I'll pay it.Player Default: You got a deal.X2a
85Player Default: This is a rare find. 250 caps.{negotiating for the baseball bat, giving in to how much you want it / Nervous} All right! All right! Just hand it over, already.Player Default: You got a deal.X3a
86Player Default: This is a rare find. 250 caps.{negotiating for the baseball bat, standing strong against temptation / Stern} No. No, as much as I want it. I gotta stand my ground. 200 caps. That's my final offer.Player Default: You got a deal.X4a
87Player Default: So I take it this bat is valuable?{Nervous} Now, now. Let me be clear. I want it. You bet your socks I do. But I'm a collector. Anyone else, that bat's just a piece of wood.Y1a
88{Pleading} You want her to be in the hands of someone who appreciates what she means to history, don't ya? What d'ya say?Player Default: You got a deal.Y1b
