This page lists all conversations between NPCs in Tenpenny Tower. The majority of these conversations are dynamically occurring and may also have randomized lines, all of which are internally contained in the DialogueTenpenny quest. There are also a few scripted, one-time conversations which are organized separately. Conversations are organized by the character who initiates them, and each dynamic conversation has been given an arbitrary number for reference and navigation purposes.
Allistair Tenpenny[]
Speaker | Conversation | |
---|---|---|
1 | Allistair Tenpenny | You know, you make a very good sandwich. |
Margaret Primrose | Thank you for saying so, sir. It's always my great pleasure. If you'd ever like to try another dish, I have an extensive menu of delicacies. | |
Allistair Tenpenny | Yes well. I'm a visionary, that's true. But I'm also a creature of habit. I like my Iguana Bits sandwich just the way I always get it. Thank you. | |
2 | Allistair Tenpenny | Oh. Hello there Susan. It's always a pleasure to see you. Um... you're getting along alright are you, dear? |
Susan Lancaster | Why thank you Allistair love. Er, I mean: MISTER Tenpenny! | |
Allistair Tenpenny | Well... I'm glad to know you are getting along. I'll, umm... expect a visit at the usual time. Run along dear. And do be careful. |

Only occurs 75% of times when Allistair greets this target. On the other 25% of times, he responds with the floating line "Nice to see | you. Carry on." Both conversations occur only once per day.
Anthony Ling[]
Speaker | Conversation | |
---|---|---|
3 | Anthony Ling | Hello Chief Gustavo. You are looking positively fabulous today. |
Chief Gustavo | I'm sorry? What?! | |
Anthony Ling | Looks like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed. I bet I could help you end up on the right side! Haha! Have good day, dear. | |
Chief Gustavo | You're wasting your time. I don't want to have to tell you again. This gun is loaded. I'd hate for it to accidentally go off in your direction. | |
4 | Anthony Ling | Hello there, Chief. You're packing a lot of heat, aren't you? |
Chief Gustavo | That's right. And the safety's off. Back off. | |
5 | Anthony Ling | Doctor Banfield! I haven't seen you in New Urban Apparel for quite some time. Aren't you afraid you've gone out of style in the meantime? |
Doctor Banfield | I'm afraid the lab coat never goes out of style for me. But I appreciate your concern. | |
Anthony Ling | Fine. Keep wearing those rags. But when you're ready for fabulous, you come see me; I've got just the thing! | |
6 | Anthony Ling | An outfit a day keeps the frumpy away, eh doctor? Come visit me soon. |
Doctor Banfield | Right. Sure thing, Anthony. | |
7 | Anthony Ling | How are you, Mr. Cheng? |
Irving Cheng | Oh, I don't know. Not so good I guess... Women. Can't live with them. Can't live without them. Know what I mean, Comrade? | |
Anthony Ling | No. Can't say that I do. | |
8 | Anthony Ling | How is Mrs. Cheng these days? |
Irving Cheng | I wouldn't know. She's avoiding me lately. | |
9 | Anthony Ling | Ah Lydia, darling. How's that old antique shop of yours doing these days? |
Lydia Montenegro | Antique shop? Really, Anthony, you need some new material! And I'm not just talking about your jokes either, darling. Those threads are atrocious! | |
Anthony Ling | Why, you old hag! You're just jealous. My fabulousity pains you, doesn't it? You can't help feel smaller standing before my greatness, can you dear? | |
Lydia Montenegro | At least I'm not some dried up tart, prancing around like the queen of America, carelessly spouting grotesque phrases. "Fabulousity?" Really now! | |
10 | Anthony Ling | Lydia, darling. What's wrong? You're looking rather frumpy today! |
Lydia Montenegro | Who you calling frumpy?! At least my ass isn't shaped like a pear. | |
Anthony Ling | Ouch! You wound me! | |
11 | Anthony Ling | So, tell me. How are things? |
Margaret Primrose | Things are alright, I guess. I'm thinking I should stop by sometime and get some new clothes. I just can't seem to find the time. | |
Anthony Ling | You need to MAKE time, dear! You'll never be fabulous just moping around a kitchen all day. You need to relax, go out, get done up, have some fun! | |
12 | Anthony Ling | You haven't stopped by the Urban Apparel in a while. |
Margaret Primrose | Yeah. I know. It's just... Well, I've been busy. | |
13 | Anthony Ling | So, are you still hiding from that husband of yours? |
Tiffany Cheng | Why? You haven't seen him have you?! | |
Anthony Ling | And I thought I hated MY life! | |
14 | Anthony Ling | Mrs. Cheng! Wouldn't you like a brand new outfit from Urban Outfitters? With a fabulous make-over, perhaps Mr. Cheng wouldn't recognize you! |
Tiffany Cheng | What? Are you kidding me?! Mind your own damn business. I don't go turning lights on in your closet, do I? Jeez! | |
15 | Anthony Ling | I bet you exercise a lot, huh? |
Hi there! That's quite some ordnance you're packing, isn't it! | ||
If you're tired of sleeping in those barracks, let me know. | ||
Security guard | What the hell are you talking about?! | |
Come on man. Quit it already! I'm not interested! | ||
You're not very subtle, you know. |

Chief Gustavo[]
Speaker | Conversation | |
---|---|---|
15 | Chief Gustavo | You got anything to report, Ling? |
Anthony Ling | Everything's just fabulous! | |
16 | Chief Gustavo | Doctor. I trust everything's okay? |
Doctor Banfield | Everythings | fine, Chief. Thanks for keeping us safe.|
17 | Chief Gustavo | Wellington. You and your wife getting along alright? |
Edgar Wellington II | Fine, thank you. You and your men patrolling makes everyone feel safe here. Thanks again. | |
18 | Chief Gustavo | Dashwood. You're staying out of trouble, I hope? |
Herbert "Daring" Dashwood | Haha! Nothing you can pin on me, Chief! But shouldn't you be out killing things in the Wasteland instead of pestering old harmless fogies like me? | |
19 | Chief Gustavo | Cheng. Sorry I keep missing your Neighborhood Watch committee meetings. Keep up the good work, though. |
Irving Cheng | No worries, Comrade. Everyone else has trouble making the meetings, too. When I get my computer working, I'll get you a copy of the minutes. | |
20 | Chief Gustavo | Ms. Montenegro. How are things? Any suspicious activity you'd like to report? |
Lydia Montenegro | We all feel safe knowing you and your men have this place locked up tight. Thank you! | |
21 | Chief Gustavo | Ms. Primrose. The next shipment of food stuffs might be delayed. I was chatting with the caravan guard. Seems the Raiders have gotten rather bold. |
Margaret Primrose | Raiders? Again? Well, I'll have to make do. Thank you for the heads up, Chief. And thank your men for us. We are all grateful of your presence here. | |
22 | Chief Gustavo | Hawthorne. We've gotten a few complaints. Having trouble sleeping recently? |
Michael Hawthorne | Oh that? It was nothing. A one time indiscretion, I assure you. Won't happen again, ol' chap. Scouts honor and all that. Care for a drink? | |
23 | Chief Gustavo | Mrs. Wellington. |
Millicent Wellington | Thank you for looking into that situation for me. I'm embarrassed it turned out to be nothing. Well, one can never be too careful. | |
24 | Chief Gustavo | Ms. Lancaster. How is the tower's favorite resident? |
Susan Lancaster | Why thank you, dear! How charming of you to say so. Perhaps you and I should start spending some time together? Eh? Ahahah. | |
25 | Chief Gustavo | Ms. Cheng. How are you today? |
Tiffany Cheng | I'm just great, if you don't count the fact that I'm married to the biggest idiot on the planet! |
Doctor Julius Banfield[]
Speaker | Conversation | |
---|---|---|
26 | Doctor Banfield | I got a spot of blood on my labcoat recently. Any chance you've got something that'll take that out in the wash? |
Anthony Ling | Ewwww! Labcoats are so last century. I have a better idea, Doc. Why don't you come to New Urban Apparel, and I'll give you a complete make-over! | |
Doctor Banfield | Well, that's more than I had in mind. Maybe I'll just order a new labcoat instead. | |
27 | Doctor Banfield | You feeling alright these days Anthony? It's time we do a regular check up soon; it's been a while. |
Anthony Ling | What's the point? Besides, I hate all that cold metal touching my skin. It gives me the willies! So, I'll just stick with visiting when I get sick. | |
28 | Doctor Banfield | Chief. There's something we should discuss. There's been an increase in 'accidents' among your crew. I'm afraid someone's going to get really hurt. |
Chief Gustavo | Thank you for your concern, Doctor. But things've been tense is all, and my men are just blowing off steam. Don't worry. They'll be fine. | |
Doctor Banfield | Alright. They're your men. I just don't want to have to sew anything back on because one of your guys got a little carried away. | |
29 | Doctor Banfield | Chief. How're things out there in the Wasteland? |
Chief Gustavo | Same old shit. See something big and ugly moving in the distance. Shoot the hell out of it. Go an' check to make sure it's dead. Rinse and repeat. | |
30 | Doctor Banfield | Hello Lydia. How are you faring these days? Did those pills finally help you start to relax? |
Lydia Montenegro | Yeah, I pop a couple, then have a Martini. Does wonders. Thanks Doc. | |
Doctor Banfield | That's good to hear... only, you should stick to the suggested dosage, and avoid alcohol for at least two hours after taking it. Come see me soon. | |
31 | Doctor Banfield | Lydia. Don't suppose you can scrounge up a few more holodisks for me? |
Lydia Montenegro | I don't scrounge for anything. I run a high class Boutique, doctor, as you know. However, I can check with my supplier about holodisks for you. | |
32 | Doctor Banfield | Margaret, you work too hard. I might have to prescribe a vacation for you. |
Margaret Primrose | Nonsense. I'm fine. I enjoy making food and keeping the residents happy. A vacation from this would only make me anxious. | |
Doctor Banfield | Fine. For now. I got my eye on you. If you seem to be getting exhausted, I'm prescribing that vacation! | |
33 | Doctor Banfield | Don't work too hard! |
Margaret Primrose | Shoo! Away with you. Leave me alone! | |
34 | Doctor Banfield | Susan, I haven't seen you in a while. Shouldn't you be coming in for a regular "check up" soon? |
Susan Lancaster | Doctor Banfield! Have you lost your appointment book? I thought we've made a regular appointment. A "house call" I do believe! | |
Doctor Banfield | Ah! I remember now. Yes of course. I'll be sure to bring my medicine bag with me. | |
35 | Doctor Banfield | How are you feeling today my dear? |
Susan Lancaster | It hasn't been that long since my last "check up." So you know EXACTLY how I'm feeling, doctor. | |
36 | Doctor Banfield | Ms. Cheng. I'm worried about you. You're always seem so high strung. Stress is bad for the heart, you know.[Note 1] |
Tiffany Cheng | Ha! Well, doc. If you got a pill that will make my husband disappear, I'll gladly take it. | |
Doctor Banfield | No. I'm afraid you'll need to take care of that one on your own. But I might have something that'll help you cope. Come see me for a prescription. | |
37 | Doctor Banfield | You finding some time to relax, Ms. Cheng?[Note 1] |
Tiffany Cheng | If you mean day dreaming about killing Mr. Cheng and knocking a few back in the lounge, then yeah, I'm able to relax once in a while. |

Edgar Wellington II[]
Speaker | Conversation | |
---|---|---|
38 | Edgar Wellington II | Still keeping the Wasteland at bay, Chief? |
Chief Gustavo | I can assure you, Mr. Wellington, we're not just sunning ourselves out there all day. That's for damn sure! | |
39 | Edgar Wellington II | Ms. Primrose. How are you today? |
Margaret Primrose | Oh, I'm alright, I suppose. Though, apparently raiders have been attacking the caravans again. Missed a shipment. I'll just have to be be creative! | |
Edgar Wellington II | Yes, well. You'll think of something I'm sure. Good luck. | |
40 | Edgar Wellington II | Millicent, have you ever thought of making friends with the other ladies in the Tower? Not that I mind your constant company, or anything. |
Millicent Wellington | EDGAR! I do believe you are trying to shake me off! The fire has finally died away, has it, Edgar? You fancy someone else these days, do you? | |
Edgar Wellington II | No, no. Of course not you silly woman. It's just that I... well... I think spending time with the other ladies in the Tower might do you some good. | |
Millicent Wellington | You know the other ladies and I don't get along famously. They're quite jealous of me, naturally. | |
Edgar Wellington II | Very well. If you insist on remaining a social hermit, by all means continue to follow me around all day. | |
41 | Edgar Wellington II | Are you SURE you don't want to make friends with the other ladies? You know, crochet, or gossip, or whatever it is ladies like to do together? |
Millicent Wellington | Don't be silly. I know enough about them to make being friendly... awkward at best. Besides, I much prefer spending all my time with you! | |
42 | Edgar Wellington II | Are you happy, dear? |
You've something on your mind, dear? | ||
Millicent Wellington | Have you seen the way Mrs. Cheng avoids her husband all the time? Poor Mr. Cheng drew the short straw when he married her, didn't he? | |
That Susan Lancaster is a real snob. And the way she flirts with all the men! The woman's got no sense of shame! No sense at all, if you ask me. | ||
I think Mr. Ling is asking for trouble by teasing all the male guards the way he does. What he needs to do is find a nice woman and settle down. | ||
Have you seen the way Mr. Dashwood skulks about when no one is looking. He's up to something, I'm sure! But what on earth could he be doing? | ||
Ms. Primrose works too hard, poor girl. How is she ever supposed to land a good husband if she's stuck in her kitchen all day? | ||
Have you ever wondered why the only house call Doctor Banfield makes is to that Susan Lancaster's room? How positively shameful! | ||
Why does Mr. Cheng insist on calling everyone 'Comrade?' It's 'Comrade this.' And 'Comrade that.' Do you suppose he was dropped often as a child? | ||
Mr. Hawthorne sure has pickled himself, hasn't he? That man exists in a constant state of inebriation. I wonder what drives him to the bottle so. | ||
One has to wonder about Mr. Tenpenny, doesn't one? I mean, we're all grateful for the Tower. But... the man is a recluse. I wonder what he's hiding. | ||
That Mr. Burke is a shady character, isn't he? I've heard some positively awful things about him. But Tenpenny trusts him. So he can't be all bad. | ||
Ms. Montenegro's quite full of herself, isn't she? Puffed up like a souffle, she is! Ha! That was a good one, wasn't it? I'm quite funny today! | ||
Edgar Wellington II | Yes, dear. | |
Oh, I don't know about all that. | ||
Is that so? | ||
I hadn't noticed. | ||
Mm-hmm. | ||
Right-o. | ||
Millicent Wellington | Are you even listening to me?! | |
Earth to Edgar! Mr. Wellington, are you there? | ||
You're just humoring me, aren't you? You haven't heard a word I've said, have you? | ||
Sometimes I get the feeling you're off in your own little world. | ||
Edgar! I'm talking to you. | ||
Are you even listening? | ||
Edgar Wellington II | What? | |
Yes dear. | ||
Uh huh. | ||
Sorry dear... must have dozed off there for a moment. | ||
Millicent Wellington | I swear Edgar. It's in one ear and out the other with you! Grrr. | |
Useless man! | ||
Edgar! Pay attention when I'm talking to you! | ||
Sometimes I get the feeling I'm talking to myself. | ||
43 | Edgar Wellington II | Oh. Hello there Susan - er, I mean, Ms. Lancaster. I hope all is well. |
Susan Lancaster | Yes Edgar dear, I'm quite fine. Thanks for asking! Maybe I'll "see you" around later, then? When you get out for an "evening stroll," perhaps? | |
Edgar Wellington II | Um... Yes. Right. Of course. Okay then. See you around Ms. Lancaster. | |
44 | Edgar Wellington II | Um... hello Susan. Er.. Ms. Lancaster, rather. Pardon my momentary lapse of manners. |
Susan Lancaster | Nonsense Edgar! I always find your manners to be quite "up to the task." if you know what I mean! He he he he. See you later, MISTER Wellington. |

Herbert "Daring" Dashwood[]
Speaker | Conversation | |
---|---|---|
45 | Herbert "Daring" Dashwood | Still pushing back the borders of the Wasteland, Chief? A never ending task, that. Ah. But some days I do miss a good adventure. You're lucky sir! |
Chief Gustavo | And I envy your retirement, Dashwood. Though it's true. There's something satisfying about bagging a Rad-Scorpian at 100 yards with a single shot. | |
Herbert "Daring" Dashwood | I once killed a Yao Guai with my bare hands! Almost lost an arm. But I got the bastard in the end. Ah... Those were the days. | |
46 | Herbert "Daring" Dashwood | Good Chief Gustavo! Anything interesting happening out there in the Wasteland? |
Chief Gustavo | Hah! I'm fine with the same old shit all the time. The day something "interesting" happens in the Wasteland, it's time to retire! | |
47 | Herbert "Daring" Dashwood | How's that manifesto of yours coming along, Comrade? |
Irving Cheng | Well, Comrade. My computer keeps breaking, and I have to start over each day. Not to worry though. I've got it practically memorized by now! | |
Herbert "Daring" Dashwood | Hehe. I'm sorry to hear that, Irving. Maybe I should take a look at your computer sometime. Heheh. | |
48 | Herbert "Daring" Dashwood | Still having issues with your computer, Comrade? |
Irving Cheng | <Sigh.> I don't know what to do, Comrade. Every day I fix it, but it always breaks again. | |
49 | Herbert "Daring" Dashwood | How's the cafe holding up these days? I must say, your new menu is superb. You are a fine chef! |
Margaret Primrose | Thank you for saying so! It's always been my dream to own my own restaurant. Supplies have been running low, but it just makes me more creative! | |
Herbert "Daring" Dashwood | That's the spirit, girl! Every seeming setback is actually just a chance for your genius to shine! | |
50 | Herbert "Daring" Dashwood | Hello Margaret. You holding up, child? You slave in that kitchen all day for us lazy retired folk. Ever thought of taking a little break? |
Margaret Primrose | It's okay, really. I prefer to stay busy. | |
51 | Herbert "Daring" Dashwood | Hawthorne! You going to come up for air soon? You're going to drown yourself if you're not careful! |
Michael Hawthorne | What? Oh right. Hah! That's a good one, Daring. I'm fine really. I've been drinking since I was a toddler. I can hold my liquor. What's new with you? | |
Herbert "Daring" Dashwood | Just trying to keep busy, I guess. I'm not sure I'm really cut out for the whole retirement thing. Just can't seem to sit still. | |
52 | Herbert "Daring" Dashwood | I've heard Margaret's cafe is running low on pickles. You better not let her catch you, Hawthorne. You might wind up in someone's sandwich! |
Michael Hawthorne | What? Very funny old man! Well, I hear she's also running low on dried up old raisins, you cheeky bastard! Leave a gent to his drink already! | |
53 | Herbert "Daring" Dashwood | Hey girl. How are you doing? You need to slow down and pace yourself, or you'll be old before your time. Like me! |
Susan Lancaster | Whatever. I know your type, Daring. You want me all to yourself. Well, I'm not some trophy animal you can just bag and hang on your wall! | |
Herbert "Daring" Dashwood | We'll just have to see about that! You watch out! I can be a very stealthy hunter! | |
54 | Herbert "Daring" Dashwood | Marry me, Susan? |
Susan Lancaster | Eww! Banish the thought, old man! Seriously though, if you're still around in a decade or two, I might take you up on the offer. | |
55 | Herbert "Daring" Dashwood | You manage to shake your husband again? Good show! If you'd like, I can show you some stealth tricks I picked up in my adventures. |
Tiffany Cheng | Yeah. He's so stupid! I don't actually need to sneak out. I just tell him to piss off, and then I leave. If he was smart, he'd try to stop me. Men! | |
Herbert "Daring" Dashwood | Some men just don't have the hunting instinct, dear. You should try talking to him about your needs. | |
Tiffany Cheng | Whatever. He loves those damn meetings, and that stupid "Community Manifesto" of his more than me. He hardly knows I exist! | |
56 | Herbert "Daring" Dashwood | I hear Irving's having a bit of trouble with his computer? |
Tiffany Cheng | It breaks all the time! Does he take that as a sign to spend time with me? No. Stupid man! He spends hours retyping everything. He's such a loser! |

Irving Cheng[]
Speaker | Conversation | |
---|---|---|
57 | Irving Cheng | Comrade. Do you have something that will make me, you know, look attractive? |
Anthony Ling | Yes! But the key to being fabulous, is that it comes from within. What you wear is only half the equation. BELIEVE you ARE already fabulous! | |
Irving Cheng | Right, comrade! I see. The fabulous comes from the inside out. I will have to remember that. Thank you! | |
58 | Irving Cheng | Comrade, how are you doing? |
Anthony Ling | Fabulous! Can I sell you a pair of sport shoes? Maybe they'd help you catch your wife when she runs away from you! | |
59 | Irving Cheng | "Comrade Gustavo! How are things? |
Chief Gustavo | Cheng. Damn it. Call me "Chief." Chief Gustavo! All that "comrade" nonsense is really getting on my nerves. | |
Irving Cheng | Oh. I'm sorry Comraaa - err, CHIEF Gustavo! | |
60 | Irving Cheng | Comrade Gustavo! |
Chief Gustavo | N/A | |
61 | Irving Cheng | Comrade Dashwood. Do you know much about computers? My computer is not cooperating with me lately. |
Herbert "Daring" Dashwood | I know a little bit about technology. I've picked up a few tricks in my adventures. Why, what seems to be the problem? | |
Irving Cheng | Every day it erases everything. Each day I have to start over again. But it's not the end of the world. I have everything memorized. Never mind. | |
62 | Irving Cheng | I've been thinking about taking up adventuring as a profession. What would I need to know before I do that, comrade? |
Herbert "Daring" Dashwood | My dear boy. You've got all the adventure you need, right here in these four walls. For starters, you can figure out how to make your wife happy. | |
Irving Cheng | Ohhh. Well, comrade. I don't think I'll ever be able to do that. | |
63 | Irving Cheng | Comrade Lydia, do you have something in your shop that my wife would like? |
Lydia Montenegro | Mr. Cheng. Shouldn't YOU know what your wife would like? Why don't you go find out what she wants, and I'll see about ordering it for you. | |
Irving Cheng | Yes, you are right, comrade. But I'm afraid I've done something to upset her, and now she isn't talking to me. Never mind. I'll figure something out. | |
64 | Irving Cheng | You have a nice shop, comrade Lydia. |
Lydia Montenegro | Thank you! | |
65 | Irving Cheng | You make the BEST sandwiches ever, comrade Margaret! |
Margaret Primrose | Thank you. It's always my pleasure to serve you Mr. Cheng. If you'd like, I could prepare a special candle light dinner for you and Mrs. Cheng. | |
Irving Cheng | That's an excellent idea, comrade! I have to get her to stop and listen to me for a moment to even ask her if she'd like that. But thank you though. | |
66 | Irving Cheng | I think sometime soon I'll try that Iguana Bits sandwich Mr. Tenpenny is always ordering. |
Margaret Primrose | Really? He orders that every day. I prefer making more creative dishes. Choose something else, I beg you! | |
67 | Irving Cheng | Comrade Hawthorne. You seem to get along okay with the ladies. What's your secret? |
Michael Hawthorne | My secret to what? Oh right. The ladies. Always start off with a few drinks to loosen up, then move onto the hard liquor to get the party rolling! | |
Irving Cheng | Oh, I see. Well, maybe you're right. Mrs. Cheng spends a lot of time drinking in the lounge, doesn't she. | |
68 | Irving Cheng | Cheers! |
Michael Hawthorne | Indeed! I'll drink to that! | |
69 | Irving Cheng | Ummm. Errrr. Ahh... |
Susan Lancaster | Don't be scared Irving, dear! I won't bite. Well, not unless you ask me to! Hahahaha! | |
Irving Cheng | Oh... oh. Alright Susan. I'll see you later then? | |
70 | Irving Cheng | Su-su-susan! Hello! I uh... well. You know. |
Susan Lancaster | Why do I intimidate you so? You weren't intimated the other night! Aha! See you around, Don Juan. | |
71 | Irving Cheng | Tiffany. Why are you always off doing your own thing? |
Tiffany Cheng | Oh no! I'm not going to make it that easy for you. If you can't figure it out, then I'm not going to help you. Why are you so stupid?! | |
Irving Cheng | I don't know why I'm so stupid. Never mind. I'll go work on my projects. | |
Tiffany Cheng | Ha! See?! That's what I'm talking about! Stupid. Stupid man! | |
72 | Irving Cheng | Tiffany? |
Tiffany Cheng | What?! |

Lydia Montenegro[]
Speaker | Conversation | |
---|---|---|
73 | Lydia Montenegro | Anthony, darling, you're looking rather bloated today. |
Anthony Ling | Whatever, you old hag. I'm just swelling with fabulous. | |
Lydia Montenegro | Do you realize how often you use that word? You be careful, darling, or you'll wear it out like you've worn out your sense of style. | |
74 | Lydia Montenegro | I've got some ointment in the Boutique that should help with those bags under your eyes, love. |
Anthony Ling | And I've got a little number in my shop that should help push up those sagging girls of yours, darling. | |
75 | Lydia Montenegro | There's nothing to worry about I presume, Chief? |
Chief Gustavo | Everything is under control, Ms. Montenegro. | |
76 | Lydia Montenegro | I trust everyone in the tower is healthy? No plagues to worry about, are there Doctor? |
Doctor Banfield | Yes, of course. There's nothing to worry about. Though, it's been awhile since I've seen you. We should schedule a checkup soon. | |
Lydia Montenegro | Right. Until next time, then. | |
77 | Lydia Montenegro | Have you ever considered performing, what do they call it? Plastic surgery? You know, where you make people look young again? |
Doctor Banfield | Surgery of any kind is always extremely dangerous. The risk of infection is great. A doctor should never cut open a patient unless it's necessary. | |
78 | Lydia Montenegro | I've noticed some new items on the menu. |
Margaret Primrose | Yes, well. There've been shortages of certain things, so I've had to get creative. I hope everything is to your liking Ms. Montenegro. | |
Lydia Montenegro | Yes, of course, child! Your dishes are always superb! | |
79 | Lydia Montenegro | One day, you'll have to teach me to cook. I've always wanted to learn, but never had the time. |
Margaret Primrose | A sophisticated lady like you slaving over the stove? Don't trouble yourself with that, dear. You kick back and enjoy. I'm here to cook for you. | |
80 | Lydia Montenegro | Ahhh. There's nothing like a nice glass of wine at the end of a long day, eh Michael? |
Michael Hawthorne | Indeed! And at the beginning of a long day! Though, I prefer the stiffer stuff myself. So how're you holding up these days? How's that shop of yours? | |
Lydia Montenegro | That shop is my pride and joy. I like to be surrounded by fine things - a little beauty in all this ugliness. | |
81 | Lydia Montenegro | Here's to being rich, eh Michael? |
Michael Hawthorne | Amen. I'll drink to that sister. Cheers! | |
Lydia Montenegro | Ha! You'll drink to ANYTHING! Cheers! | |
82 | Lydia Montenegro | Not to pry, dear. But what is exactly the problem between you and your husband? |
Tiffany Cheng | You mean other than the fact that he is an idiot? Or that he's always busy with stupid meetings, or writing stupid books, that NO ONE cares about? | |
Lydia Montenegro | Have you tried distracting him, dear? You know, get his "attention" every now and then? Some men are just clueless when it comes to a woman's needs. | |
Tiffany Cheng | Ha! He's so stupid, he wouldn't know what do to even if I did manage to get his attention! | |
83 | Lydia Montenegro | Tiffany. A toast! Here's to stupid men and the women who love them! |
Tiffany Cheng | Cheers. |

Margaret Primrose[]
Speaker | Conversation | |
---|---|---|
84 | Margaret Primrose | What will you be having for lunch, Mister Tenpenny? |
Allistair Tenpenny | The usual, dear. And please, be sure to remember to measure the salt precisely. We don't a repeat of last weeks debacle. | |
Margaret Primrose | Of course Mister Tenpenny. | |
85 | Margaret Primrose | I'll need another order of hairnets, Anthony. |
Anthony Ling | Those things are so tacky. How about you swing by New Urban Apparel, and I fit you into a cute Sunday dress? You need to spruce up your look dear. | |
Margaret Primrose | Thank you, but I'm always so busy serving everyone. Maybe you can just pick something out for me and send it along with the hairnets. | |
86 | Margaret Primrose | You know, if they'd like to, your men could dine in the cafe. They don't always have to eat in the barracks. |
Chief Gustavo | That's kind of you, Ms. Primrose. But it's better if they don't cozy up with the residents. Helps retain discipline and remind them why they're here. | |
Margaret Primrose | Right, of course. Well, maybe I'll send a special desert over there today, to let them know we appreciate their keeping us safe and sound. | |
87 | Margaret Primrose | I'll send over something tasty for the men later. A special treat of some kind to let them know we care. |
Chief Gustavo | They don't deserve it. But... oh, what the hell. Go ahead Ms. Primrose. If it'll make you happy, send them whatever you like. | |
88 | Margaret Primrose | Doctor, I've been meaning to ask you. Do you think it's safe to serve raw Mirelurk meat? It can be quite delicious. |
Doctor Banfield | Absolutely not. All Wasteland meat MUST be thoroughly cooked. Disease and parasites are killed by the heat. I'm surprised I have to tell you this. | |
Margaret Primrose | I found this old cook book for something called "sushi." Um... well, you might want to check up on a few residents I already served it to. Whoopsie. | |
89 | Margaret Primrose | Have you noticed the newer, healthier additions to the menu, Doc? |
Doctor Banfield | Yes. They are a fine addition. Now, if we can only get the residents to start eating them! | |
90 | Margaret Primrose | Here you are, hon. |
Bon appetit! | ||
Here you are. Sorry that took so long. | ||
Here you go. I hope you enjoy your meal! | ||
I made it just like you like it. Enjoy! | ||
Target | Thank you! | |
Excellent! | ||
Wonderful. Thank you, dear. | ||
Thanks! |

Michael Hawthorne[]
Speaker | Conversation | |
---|---|---|
91 | Michael Hawthorne | Hey! I know you! Care to share a drink? |
Chief Gustavo | I'm on duty. You alright Hawthorne? Don't want a repeat of that little stunt you pulled. | |
Michael Hawthorne | Indeed! I'll drink to that! Cheers! | |
92 | Michael Hawthorne | Gustavo, pal. You need to lighten up a bit. Relax. Have some fun, right? Right. Life's too short for all that grumpiness. |
Chief Gustavo | You're pressing your luck, Hawthorne. | |
93 | Michael Hawthorne | Daring... why do they call you that? Why not "Dash" or "Wood," or "Herb" for godsakes. I mean, that'd make more sense, wouldn't it? |
Herbert "Daring" Dashwood | Hawthorne. Go easy on those remaining brain cells, alright? | |
Michael Hawthorne | Nah! Drown the buggars! | |
94 | Michael Hawthorne | Daring. I've been meaning to ask. Was it hard to do all those adventures with the radio crew tagging along? I mean, it must have been distracting. |
Herbert "Daring" Dashwood | It's a radio play, not a documentary. | |
95 | Michael Hawthorne | Hey... Cheng. Why the hell do you call everyone "Comrade" all the time? |
Irving Cheng | Because, while it's true, some of us are better suited to lead the community, by calling you all comrades, I'm helping you not feel envy or sadness. | |
Michael Hawthorne | Huh... sure. I'll drink to that Comrade! | |
96 | Michael Hawthorne | Comrade. Come share a drink. |
Irving Cheng | I shouldn't. A good leader, leads by example. But thank you anyway. | |
97 | Michael Hawthorne | Lydia! I've missed you! Come share a wee drinky with me. How was your day dear? |
Lydia Montenegro | Let's just say it's high time for a glass of wine. Putting on a happy face for all my customers all the time can be a bit tiresome. | |
Michael Hawthorne | I always have my happy face on! I mean, just look at it! Are you looking? See how happy it is! The key, you see, is not to give a damn about anything | |
98 | Michael Hawthorne | I'm glad you're here. You're the only one that understands me. The rest, I think they are secretly laughing at me all the time. But not you. |
Lydia Montenegro | Don't worry about them. Just be yourself dear. You've had a hard life. You deserve some happiness. Hell, we all do. | |
99 | Michael Hawthorne | Susan. Why are you always so kind to me? |
Susan Lancaster | Don't be silly, Michael. It's because you pay me to be nice to you! | |
Michael Hawthorne | Oh, I see. | |
100 | Michael Hawthorne | I like spending time with you Susan. |
Susan Lancaster | Don't they all, dear? Don't they all! | |
101 | Michael Hawthorne | Mrs. Cheng. Take a load off, enjoy a glass of wine. Relax. You're so high strung, woman! |
Tiffany Cheng | No amount of drink is going to make my husband less stupid. But, it'll certainly help me forget about him, won't it. | |
Michael Hawthorne | That's the spirit! | |
102 | Michael Hawthorne | Nothing like a fine glass of bubbly to make all things right with the world, eh Mrs. Cheng? |
Tiffany Cheng | I hate that stupid man. |

Millicent Wellington[]
Speaker | Conversation | |
---|---|---|
103 | Millicent Wellington | Did you find any of the information I collected at all useful, Chief? |
Chief Gustavo | It was very... thorough, Mrs. Wellington. Do the other residents know you have catalogued all their habits and daily routines like that? | |
Millicent Wellington | I just thought it might be helpful for the security team to know where everyone is and what they are doing. You know, in case of emergency. | |
104 | Millicent Wellington | Chief. I'm concerned some of your men have been sleeping on the job. Well not literally, I just mean, they don't seem that alert. |
Chief Gustavo | I'll be sure to discuss it with them Mrs. Wellington. | |
105 | Millicent Wellington | Edgar, dear... |
Edgar... |

105 | These are a set of alternate prompts for Millicent, instead of Edgar, to start conversation 42. |
MS12TillDeath[]
This conversation occurs during the quest Tenpenny Tower if Millicent is given proof that her husband has been cheating on her with Susan Lancaster. Millicent will start this conversation with Edgar just before she kills him.
Speaker | Conversation |
---|---|
Millicent Wellington | You broke your sacred promise. |
Edgar Wellington II | What are you talking about dear? Is everything alright? |
Millicent Wellington | Let me remind you... 'Till death do us part. |
Mister Burke[]
Mister Burke does not participate in any special random conversations. He starts one scripted, one-time conversation (dialogue topic MS11NukeView) as part of the quest The Power of the Atom; this conversation occurs on the balcony of Tenpenny Tower after helping Mister Burke blow up Megaton. It has one alternate line depending on the player character's gender.
Speaker | Conversation |
---|---|
Mister Burke | Now that, my friend, is beautiful. |
Allistair Tenpenny | Well done, Mister Burke! What a grand display of fireworks! I almost wish there was another nuke we could detonate. You don't see that very often. |
Mister Burke | I'm glad you're pleased. I had help, of course. |
Allistair Tenpenny | Quite right. And you are to offer him the reward we discussed. Now... all this bright light and wind has given me quite a thirst. Where's my scotch? |
Quite right. And you are to offer her the reward we discussed. Now... all this bright light and wind has given me quite a thirst. Where's my scotch? | |
Mister Burke | I'll send someone up as soon as I've completed business with our friend here. |
Allistair Tenpenny | Righto. And be quick about it! I haven't been dry in years. I'd hate to start now. |
Roy Phillips[]
Roy does not have dynamic conversations under the DialogueTenpenny quest, unlike all other characters listed here. However, he has two scripted one-time conversations related to Tenpenny Tower characters, listed below.
MS12ArgumentTopic[]
This conversation, stored in the DialogueTenpennyIntercom quest, occurs at the gate to Tenpenny Tower when approaching the location for the first time.
Speaker | Conversation |
---|---|
Roy Phillips | You can tell Tenpenny he can kiss my ass! We got plenty of bottlecaps! Let me in, goddamnit! |
Chief Gustavo | How many times do we have to go through this? You're not getting in! |
Roy Phillips | I can stand here all day yelling at you through this damn speaker if I have to! |
Chief Gustavo | I've already told you Tenpenny won't allow zombies to live here! |
Roy Phillips | Who the hell are you calling a zombie? |
Chief Gustavo | You're definitely not human, that's for damn sure. For the last time: NO ZOMBIES ALLOWED! |
Roy Phillips | Can't tell the difference between me and a feral? Fine. I'll show you the goddamn difference! Just you wait! You'll get yours. All of you![Note 2] |
MS11BurkeAndPhillips[]
This conversation occurs on the top floor of Tenpenny Tower during The Power of the Atom near the end of Mister Burke's path if the quest Tenpenny Tower was completed with the ghouls taking over the tower, as an alternative to this conversation.
Speaker | Conversation |
---|---|
Roy Phillips | Look, Burke. I... I don't care how you got past the others. I could... I could have you torn apart in an instant, with a snap of my fingers! |
Mister Burke | Is that so? Do it then, Phillips. Set you feral pets upon me. I could use a bit of sport. After I've dealt with them, I'll turn my attention to you. After all, you've destroyed my home, murdered my employer. I've something of a score to settle, wouldn't you say?[Note 3] |
Roy Phillips | Hey, now, come on... The old man got what he had coming... Look, maybe we can work something out. You said you just have some... business to conclude? |
Mister Burke | Correct. You and your friends may have killed Tenpenny, but the man gave me a task, and I intend to complete it. There's a detonator on the balcony. When that switch is activated, the bomb at the center of Megaton goes... boom. THAT will conclude my business. |
Roy Phillips | Holy shit, you're gonna blow up Megaton? No lie? Look Burke... if you're about to burn down that smoothskin shithole, I ain't gonna stop ya. In fact, I... Well, I think it's fair to say you'd be quite welcome around here. So what do you say? You do your thing and we let bygones by bygones. |
Mister Burke | All right. Water under the bridge, then. Truth be told, I'm a firm believer in natural selection. What you people did here was... inspired. |
Roy Phillips | All right then, Burke... er... Mister Burke. I'll let you get to it. And, um, thanks for your... understanding. |
Susan Lancaster[]
Speaker | Conversation | |
---|---|---|
106 | Susan Lancaster | I trust you are still feeling satisfied from our last... "conversation?" |
Allistair Tenpenny | Umm... er... why yes, Ms. Lancaster. You are quite the "conversationalist." I await with anticipation our next opportunity for chit chat. Indeed! | |
Susan Lancaster | Hehe. Of course, love. Until then. Be good boy now! Hahaha. | |
107 | Susan Lancaster | Why, hello there! |
Chief Gustavo | Ms. Lancaster. | |
Susan Lancaster | Call me Susan. And if you like, we can be on even more "familiar" terms! Hahah! | |
108 | Susan Lancaster | Hello Chief. |
Chief Gustavo | Hello Ms. Lancaster. | |
109 | Susan Lancaster | I'm not feeling well, Doctor. |
Doctor Banfield | Ahem. Yes. It has been too long since you've been properly examined. | |
Susan Lancaster | A house call, perhaps? I'll be waiting! Hahah! | |
110 | Susan Lancaster | Doctor Banfield... |
Doctor Banfield | Susan... | |
111 | Susan Lancaster | Why Edgar, darling. You're looking quite handsome today! |
Edgar Wellington II | Oh... well... umm... Thank you Susan... er, I mean, Ms. Lancaster. A pleasant day to you. | |
Susan Lancaster | Hehehehehe. Oh, Edgar. | |
112 | Susan Lancaster | Do I make you nervous, Edgar? |
Edgar Wellington II | Do you make me nervous? Uh... No, not at all. Of course not. | |
113 | Susan Lancaster | Daring, I'm positively bored here! You know, I used to have quite a different life before Tenpenny Tower. Sometimes I long for a little excitement. |
Herbert "Daring" Dashwood | You should count yourself very lucky. I do. Most people die a horrible death out there in the Wastes. Excitement and danger often go hand in hand. | |
Susan Lancaster | Trust me. I know all about it... You're right, of course. Being bored out of your mind and surrounded by morons ain't all that bad. Even still... | |
114 | Susan Lancaster | Let's run away together, and have a real adventure! |
Herbert "Daring" Dashwood | Let's you and I stick to finding trouble to get into here, before we rush out in the Wasteland again; I'll take Gustavo over a Behemoth any day. | |
115 | Susan Lancaster | Irving. |
Irving Cheng | Um. Hi. | |
Susan Lancaster | That wife of yours has you terrified, doesn't she? Don't worry. I can help you relax. | |
116 | Susan Lancaster | You must learn how to relax, Irving! |
Irving Cheng | Right, Susan. Whatever you say. | |
117 | Susan Lancaster | You're always so busy. Why don't you take a day off once in a while? |
Margaret Primrose | Don't worry about me. I'm fine. Besides, if I didn't cook for all of you, you'd starve to death! Heaven knows none of you can fend for yourselves! | |
Susan Lancaster | Haha. Perhap's you're right, dear. But you could always set out a few meals in advance and take a nap once in a while. | |
118 | Susan Lancaster | Where'd you learn to cook? Everything you make is so delicious. I'd just set the place on fire if I ever tried what you do. |
Margaret Primrose | Something I picked up from my mom. She wasn't always the best mother... but she always showed her love for us in her cooking. I miss her sometimes. | |
119 | Susan Lancaster | Michael... do you think I'm pretty? |
Michael Hawthorne | I wouldn't pay you so much to hang out with me if I thought you were ugly! I'm just kidding. Stop fishing for compliments. You know you're beautiful. | |
Susan Lancaster | I'm not sure whether to be hurt or flattered by all that. | |
120 | Susan Lancaster | Do you ever find it stifling in this tower? Like the walls are keeping us in, rather than keeping the Wasteland out? |
Michael Hawthorne | Why do you think I spend so much time getting smashed in the lounge? |

Tiffany Cheng[]
Speaker | Conversation | |
---|---|---|
121 | Tiffany Cheng | Hey Anthony. I think I need a new dress. Something with a little color, if you got any thing like that. |
Anthony Ling | Of course! Shopping is wonderful therapy, isn't it? Better than any old pill Doc Banfield prescribes. | |
Tiffany Cheng | I suppose it is. | |
122 | Tiffany Cheng | You ever been married before? |
Anthony Ling | What?! Are you kidding? I'm too fabulous to settle down. | |
123 | Tiffany Cheng | What's the chance you or one of your men would trip and accidentally shoot my husband in the head? |
Chief Gustavo | I'd have to say that would be extremely unlikely, Mrs. Cheng. | |
Tiffany Cheng | I was afraid you'd say that. | |
124 | Tiffany Cheng | Hello there, Chief. I don't suppose there's any way you could, I don't know, SHOOT MY HUSBAND?! Make it look like an accident or something? |
Chief Gustavo | I'm afraid not, Ms. Cheng. | |
125 | Tiffany Cheng | Hey Doc. You got any poison pills in your hospital? |
Doctor Banfield | Why? Has someone been poisoned?! | |
Tiffany Cheng | Not yet. | |
126 | Tiffany Cheng | Is it hard to tell if someone has been murdered, or just died in his sleep? |
Doctor Banfield | I'm worried about you, Mrs. Cheng. Come by the Wellness Center, I might have a pill or two that'll help you relax and cope with things. | |
127 | Tiffany Cheng | You ever kill a man, Daring? |
Herbert "Daring" Dashwood | I've had too kill far to many men... listen, Mrs. Cheng... have you tried talking to your husband about things? I think he really cares about you. | |
Tiffany Cheng | I shouldn't have to talk to him. Why make it easy for him? He doesn't make it easy for me! If he can't see the problem, then he's just stupid. | |
128 | Tiffany Cheng | Irving's always on that damn computer, typing away at his stupid projects. I wish I knew about computers. I'd erase that damn thing! |
Herbert "Daring" Dashwood | Now there's an interesting idea, Mrs. Cheng! | |
129 | Tiffany Cheng | I'm leaving. Bye! |
Irving Cheng | Oh. Okay, dear. Goodbye. | |
130 | Tiffany Cheng | Lydia, have you ever been in love? |
Lydia Montenegro | Yes, Mrs. Cheng. It's not easy though, is it? | |
Tiffany Cheng | That's because men are stupid. | |
Lydia Montenegro | Yes they are dear, quite! | |
131 | Tiffany Cheng | Do you think it's possible to love someone too much? |
Lydia Montenegro | What a question! I don't know. I supposed it is. But, it can't always be helped. We can't help who we fall in love with, can we? | |
132 | Tiffany Cheng | Are you happy with your life, Ms. Primrose? |
Margaret Primrose | Why, yes. I believe so. Fairly happy, anyway. I really enjoy what I do. Cooking and preparing meals for the residents makes me happy. | |
Tiffany Cheng | I guess maybe I should figure out what I want to do with MY life. | |
133 | Tiffany Cheng | Is cooking fun? Maybe I should help you out sometime. You know, just to have something interesting to do? |
Margaret Primrose | Sure! I could always use another pair of hands in the kitchen. | |
134 | Tiffany Cheng | You're in here even more than I am. And I thought my life sucked. |
Michael Hawthorne | Just goes to show you: It's always darker on the other side of the fence. | |
Tiffany Cheng | I guess so. | |
135 | Tiffany Cheng | Nothing like a little ale to wash away the day, eh? |
Michael Hawthorne | Indeed, Mrs. Cheng. Indeed! Sometimes it helps wash away a lot more than just one day. |

Subtitle discrepancies[]
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 In the voiceline, Doctor Banfield correctly addresses Tiffany Cheng as Mrs. Cheng, unlike in the subtitle.
- ↑ The subtitles exclude a word; in the voiceline, Roy's first sentence is "Can't you tell the difference between me and a feral?"
- ↑ The subtitle is missing a word. In the voiceline, the last sentence is "I've got something of a score to settle, wouldn't you say?"
