Underworld is one of several locations featuring dynamic conversations in Fallout 3, using a distinct system:

  1. All characters use a HELLO based on their faction, location, and/or target
  2. The game then selects the response depending on the target NPC's faction and location and/or the speaker's identity
  3. If that NPC has a special routine, it can also select that one

The page has been ordered in what seemed to be the most sensible way, based on the Underworld Conversations (ConvUnderworld) quest. Each header refers to the NPC who initiates the conversation. Each conversation has been given an arbitrary number for convenience. If there are multiple lines listed next to a single speaker, assume that they are randomized unless otherwise specified.

Ahzrukhal[]

Speaker Conversation
1 Ahzrukhal Charon. Charon! Look at me when I'm talking to you!
Charon. Charon! Look at me when I'm talking to you!
Charon... come here. I want to talk to you about something...
Charon. Come here. Now.
Charon What?
<grunts>
Ahzrukhal I want you to keep a closer eye on these bastards. I caught one of them trying to swipe some booze from the shelf when my back was turned.
Look, despite all the grunting, I know you're not stupid. You need to start acting like you have half a brain and keep a closer watch on things.
I'm getting a bit tired of having to do my job and your job. Watch these drunks more carefully. I'm getting sick of my stock disappearing.
What do I have you here for? To watch the bar, right? So get your thumb out of your ass and start paying attention to what's going on around you.
Are you blind? Never mind, don't bother grunting a response. You need to watch these assholes better. Some stuff has turned up missing.
Charon <growls> Whatever.
<grumbles> Yeah. Sure.
... got it.
Yeah, whatever.
Sure.
Ahzrukhal I don't know how many times I've told you about this. I don't want to have to do it again.
I'm getting tired of having this conversation. Let's not go through it again. Got me?[Note 1]
I'm glad we had this little talk.
You'd best unfuck yourself, Charon. Or I'll just go ahead and 'cancel' our contract.
Good. I'm glad we're clear on that.
2 Ahzrukhal Charon. Charon! Look at me when I'm talking to you!
Charon. Charon! Look at me when I'm talking to you!
Charon... come here. I want to talk to you about something...
Charon. Come here. Now.
Charon Yeah?
What now?
What?
Ahzrukhal That little chore, the one we talked about yesterday. I trust that it won't be something I have to hear about again, right?
I gave you an assignment. I don't have to worry about it not being done, do I? You did do what I asked, yes?
I want to make sure that we're not going to have another disagreement. You did what I asked you to do, didn't you?
I've got something on my mind, Charon. I had asked you to do something and you never reported back to me. You did it, didn't you?
Charon Yeah.
It's done.
Did it. Done.
Already done.
Yep.
Ahzrukhal Good. You know how I hate to worry.
I'm glad to hear it. I knew I could trust you.
Good, Charon. Good. I know you wouldn't lie to me. You aren't that stupid. Hahahaha!
That's my boy.
Good dog. Keep it up and maybe I'll give you a treat.
Excellent. I'll have another task for you soon.
3 Ahzrukhal How's everything? Enjoying your drinks?
Yes, yes, how is everyone doing? Everything alright? Do you need anything else?
Underworld resident "Ehn. It's okay.
It's not bad. Not bad at all.
It's great! This must be that stuff that Quinn brought back.
Each one is better than the last.
It's better than that watered-down piss they pour over at Carol's.
Liquids aren't usually the way I prefer to fly, but it's not bad.
That's a good drink, there's no denying it.
Yes, I am, Mr. Ahzrukhal.

Notes[]

# Notes, conditions, context
1 Ahzrukhal's first two prompts are not duplicates; they have different voice files.
3 Bugged Ahzrukhal's prompts do not have any voice files. Furthermore, the responses are not connected to the prompts, so they cannot play.

Mister Crowley[]

Speaker Conversation
4 Mister Crowley Greta, bring me some of that slop that you call food.
Greta, bring me something. Preferably something dead this time. And not glowing.
Greta Not this again. Look, I've been telling you every day for ten years, if you don't like it, go make your own damn food.
If you don't like what we have, Crowley, you can always go hunt rats in the tunnels with the ferals.
Mister Crowley If I thought there was a chance that it would be better than this slop, I'd do that. But as it stands, this is my only option.
Very funny, Greta. I'd happily prepare my own meals if I could ever get anything was wasn't moldy, rotten, or still squirming.
Greta Well then. What'll it be, Crowley?
Looks like you're stuck eating our slop then. Now what do you want?
Well then, what are you complaining about? Oh, I forgot, you're a bitter bastard. Just tell me what you want to eat.
Mister Crowley Fine. I suppose I can choke down some of the squirrel stew.[Note 2]
Very well, bring me some of that disgusting iguana.
<sigh> Fine. I'll have the... squirrel. Cooked, please.
Greta See? I knew you'd come around.
Sure. I'll get it to you as soon as I can.
You got it.

Greta[]

Speaker Conversation
5 Greta Carol, why don't you get some rest? You look so tired.
Why don't you go get some sleep, Carol. I can manage things up here for a while.[Note 3]
Carol What now? Oh, I'm sorry Greta, I didn't see you there... did you need something?
Hrm? Oh, hey Greta... what were you saying?
Greta I was saying that you need to get some rest. You're falling asleep up here. You never sleep through a whole night anymore. I hear you getting up.
<sighs> I was saying that you need to get some rest, Carol. You hardly ever sleep at night, don't think that I haven't noticed.
Carol Oh, Greta, you worry too much. I'm fine, I'm fine. Just have a lot on my mind. It'll pass. Nothing to worry about.
There's nothing to worry about, Greta. You're so sweet, always thinking about me. But I'm fine, I promise.
Greta If you say so, Carol.
I want to believe you, Carol. I really do.
6 Greta Hey, are you okay? You're not looking so good.
Carol, honey, I'm worried about you. Are you alright?
Carol What? Oh, I'm fine, Greta. I'm just fine, miles away, you know?
Oh, Greta, baby. You don't need to worry about me, I was just lost in my thoughts. You know how it is.
Greta It's more than that, Carol, you've been moping around here for... I don't know how long. The customers have even started to notice.
C'mon, Carol. It's me, I can see through you. It's gotten so bad that the customers have started to notice.
Carol Oh, the customers are fine. So long as they've got you to being them food and drinks, they couldn't care less.
They don't need to worry about me, Greta, and neither do you. I'll be okay.
Greta I'm worried about you, that's all. Just think about what I said.
You know that I can't stop worrying about you. Just think about it, okay?
7 Greta Carol...
Carol Hey, Greta. How's my girl?
Hello, Greta. You always manage to make me feel a little better.
8 Greta Hey, hon. Do you need anything?
Do you need anything else?

Notes[]

# Notes, conditions, context
6 Bugged In Carol's last response set, her second response ("They don't need to worry") has the Goodbye flag checked, which will end the conversation before reaching Greta's last response. This seems to be unintentional, as that response is still set up to continue to Greta's last line.
8 These lines bridge into the food conversations between Greta and generic Underworld residents, which are transcribed here below, by skipping the Underworld residents' first line and having Greta speak twice in a row.

Patchwork[]

Speaker Conversation
9 Patchwork Dammit... it was attached a second ago... Hey! Robot! You seen any, you know, toes around here?
Hey, robot, have you seen any toes laying around here?
Cerberus Scanning... target identified as "Patchwork". Hello, Patchwork. I trust that all is well with you.[Note 4]
Scanning... target identified as "Patchwork". Hello, Patchwork. How are you?[Note 4][Note 5]
Patchwork That ain't what ... I asked you, stupid... stupid robot.[Note 6]
I'm doin' fine... fine indeed. How are you? ... I said how are you? What? Are you ignoring me? Stupid asshole robot...[Note 6]
10 Patchwork Good to see you, Doctor Barrows.
Hey there, Doc.
Doc Barrows! Good to see you!
If it isn't ol' Doc Barrows. Hey there, Doc!
Doctor Barrows...
Doctor Barrows I hope that everything is staying where it should be, Patchwork.
Stop by the clinic, Patchwork. Greta found one of your fingers over in Carol's Place.

Winthrop[]

Speaker Conversation
11 Winthrop Ahzrukhal, boy, I want to talk to you.
Boy, you and I need to talk.
Ahzrukhal, boy, I need to talk to you.
Ahzrukhal I'm not your "boy", Winthrop. What do you want?
Oh, look, if it isn't my favorite pain in the ass. What can I do for you, Winthrop?
Have you fixed that other fridge for me yet? Hrm? No? Than I've got no time for you, Winthrop. We'll talk later.[Note 7]
No time to talk right now, Winthrop. Come back later.[Note 7]
Winthrop It's about Patchwork. You need to stop feeding him booze, Ahzrukhal. The boy can barely stand most of the time, and you just keep serving him.
I want you to stop giving Patchwork booze when he's already drunk. You're gonna kill the boy.
Ahzrukhal He's a big boy, Winthrop. As long as he's got the caps, I'm going to sell him booze. I'm here to make money, not to babysit.
Stop serving him? This is a bar. How am I supposed to make money if I'm not serving booze? If he's got money, I'll give him whatever he asks for.
Winthrop And wouldn't it be a shame if your ventilation went down and all of your customers went to Carol's? Just think about it, Ahzrukhal.
Sure, sure, you're here to make money, and I fix all of your crap so that you can keep right on making that money. What would happen if I stopped?
Ahzrukhal Save your threats, old man. You don't have the balls.
Don't you threaten me. You wouldn't dare do that, these people would have your head.
Winthrop I'm not threatening you, I'm just sayin'. No equipment. No business. Either way, my problem is solved. Think about it. We'll talk later.
Oh, you'd be surprised. I may be old, but this place'd shut down without me. Just think about what I said, we'll talk later.
12 Winthrop Mr. Ahzrukhal...
Excuse me, Mr. Ahzrukhal...
Mr. Ahzrukhal.
Hello, Ahzrukhal.
Ahzrukhal...
Ahzrukhal No time to talk now, Winthrop. Too busy.
Hello, Winthrop. Have a seat, I'll be with you in a minute.
13 Winthrop All clear, Cerberus?
Have you seen anything unusual, Cerberus?
Cerberus Alert status: null. Patrol uninterrupted.[Note 4]
Threat level alpha. Disturbance level zero.[Note 4]
Winthrop No news is good news, eh, Cerberus? What about you, how are you doing?
Well, that's good. That's good to hear, Cerberus. Anything else going on?
Cerberus Unit functional. Patrol priority one.[Note 4]
Command not parsed. Please restate command.[Note 4]
Winthrop <sighs>You're a terrible conversationalist, Cerberus."'
I really need to teach you a thing or two about talking to people.
You really suck at conversation, robot.
14 Winthrop Cerberus, run your diagnostic program. Code 662-847-B.
Cerberus, you're still making that god awful noise. Go ahead and run that diagnostic program. Code 662-847-B.
Winthrop Unit diagnostics system compiling... diagnostics system ready. Running level 2 diagnostics... complete. Report prepared.
Unit diagnostics... running... running... complete. Report prepared.
Winthrop Well, give the report, you old bucket of bolts. I haven't got all day.
Well? Do you think I asked just out of curiosity? Give me the report, dammit.
Winthrop Unit weapon system 2B ammunition level low. Please service at earliest convenience.
Unit cognition system experiencing fluctuating contact. Unable to determine source of failure
Unit target recognition system contains failure of an unknown class. Advise immediate unit service for repair.
Unit locomotion system contains a class two failure. Currently operable. Failure will escalate to class one with a 47% probability.
Winthrop Dammit. I thought I fixed that. No time now, resume your patrol Cerberus. I'll deal with it later.
Damn worthless... it never ends with you, does it? Just resume your patrol, I'll take you offline for service later.
For Christ's sake, that's the fourth time this month. Just go back on patrol, I'm sure you'll be fine.
15 Winthrop "Why, hello there, Cerberus.
Cerberus! How are you? Programming holding up?
Cerberus Scanning... target identified as 'Winthrop'. Hello, Winthrop. How are you?"[Note 7][Note 4]
Scanning... target identified as 'Winthrop'. Hello, Winthrop. Que pasa?"[Note 7][Note 4]
Scanning... target identified as 'Winthrop'. Hello, Winthrop. How is you- you- your wife?"[Note 4]
Winthrop She's dead, you damn fool robot. Thanks for reminding me.
She's dead, you know that. Lousy old data tapes...
16 Winthrop Patches. Patches! Hey, buddy, stay with me here for a second. We need to talk.
Hey, Patches. Patchwork, man. Pay attention, I need to talk to you.
Patchwork Huh? Oh! Hey Winthrop! How're... how're you? I didn't see- see you there! What's up?
What... what do you mean? I'm not... I'm not... I'm not even drunk right now!
Winthrop C'mon, I'm worried that I'm going to find you dead one of these days. Listen to yourself. You can barely talk. You're a mess, man.
This is what I mean, Patches. You're a mess. I'm worried about you, man. I really am. You're falling apart.
Patchwork Oh... I get it! Ha! Like my name, right? Good 'ol... good ol' Patchwork, always leaving hitIn-game spelling, punctuation and/or grammar bits around town...
Hahaha! That's... that's funny! Did I ever tell you about how I got my name?
Winthrop Alright, I can't even talk to you about this right now. Let's just deal with it later.
Never mind, man. Let's just talk about this later.
Patchwork Oh, okay. Maybe..In-game spelling, punctuation and/or grammar maybe we can get a drink after you're done working!
Okay... bye Winthrop! Let's get a drink later and... and hang out...[Note 8]
17 Winthrop Everything alright there, Patches? You don't look so good.
Heya, Patches. You alright, buddy? You're not lookin' so good.
Hey, Patchwork. How're you holding together?
Patchwork, buddy, how are you holding up?
Hey, Patchwork... whoa there, be careful. Are you okay?
Hello, Patchwork.
Patchwork...
Patchwork Yeah, I'm okay, Winthrop.
I'm doin' alright, Winthrop. Just having a rough day, you know?
Oh hey, Winthrop. Yeah, I'm alright, I just.. err... dropped something around here. Don't worry about me, it'll turn up.

Notes[]

# Notes, conditions, context
11 This conversation will never happen in-game, as Ahzrukhal never leaves the Ninth Circle and Winthrop never leaves the concourse.
12 This conversation will never happen in-game, as Ahzrukhal never leaves the Ninth Circle and Winthrop never leaves the concourse.
14 Bugged This conversation is unfinished. The second and fourth response sets should be spoken by Cerberus but are instead spoken by Winthrop. Winthrop has voice files for the prompts and all of Cerberus' responses, but he has none for his own responses.

Underworld residents[]

These lines can be used by any member of the UnderworldGhoulFaction technical faction: all generic Underworld residents, plus Willow and Snowflake. However, Willow will never be a part of these conversations because her daily routine keeps her away from Underworld at all times. Furthermore, because Snowflake never leaves the Underworld concourse, he is also ineligible for any conversations in the Ninth Circle or Carol's Place. As such, Willow will not be counted as a possible speaker, and Snowflake will only be counted as a possible speaker for conversations that are not restricted to those locations; any conversations with Ahzrukhal, Carol, or Greta are location-restricted because they do not leave their respective bars.

Speaker Conversation
18 Underworld resident Oh, oh! Mr Ahzrukhal, I want to ask you something.
Ahzrukhal Yes, friend? What brings you to me today? Come on now... spit it out. I haven't got all day.
What is it? I'm very busy, you know.
You seem so nervous... relax. It's only me, there's nothing to be afraid of.
Underworld resident I was wondering if I could get... you know... one of the special drinks.
I need some of the special stock. You know, the stuff from behind the counter...
I'm all out of the stuff you sold me yesterday. I need more. Fast.
Ahzrukhal Ah, yes! Of course, of course, my friend. See me later tonight. We'll make sure that you have all the pick-me-ups that you need.
Shhh, say no more. See me later, I'll make sure that you want for nothing.
No need to be shy, my friend. I'll make sure that you have everything that you ever need, so long as you have the caps to pay for it, that is.
Underworld resident Oh, thank you! Thank you, Mr. Ahzrukhal! Thank you so much!
Oh, Mr. Ahzrukhal! I can't thank you enough! It's... it's been so hard lately...
I... I'll try to wait. You are good to us, Mr. Ahzrukhal. You really are. Thank you.
Ahzrukhal Don't mention it, my friend. It's what I'm here for.
It's nothing, I simply want to ensure that all my friends in Underworld are as happy as can be.
No thanks are wanted or asked for, it is my humble duty to ensure that you get what you need.
19 Underworld resident "Oh, hey... Mr. <coughs> .... Mr. Ahzrukhal... hi.
Ahzrukhal Whoa, whoa there. Take your illness away from me.
Take a step back, there. I don't want your slime on me. Tell you what, another drink should clear that cough up.
You should see someone about that cough. In the mean time, keep your distance.
Sounds like you need some of Akzurkhal'sIn-game spelling, punctuation and/or grammar special cough medicine.
You might want to see Doc Barrows about that cough. But have another drink before you do.[Note 9]
Shame the doc is dead, he could've done something about that cough. Ah well, just have another drink. It'll go away.[Note 10]
Poor doc Barrows, you people are falling apart without him, aren't you?[Note 10]
20 Underworld resident Hey, Mr. Ahzrukhal...
Mr. Ahzrukhal...
Excuse me, Mr. Ahzrukhal...
Ahzrukhal Welcome! Sit. Drink. Pay.
Get yourself another drink, you look entirely too sober.
My friend, you are not drinking nearly enough.
If you're sober enough to say hello, you're far too sober.
Less talking, more drinking.
You look like someone who needs another drink.
21 Underworld resident "Hey, Carol. You okay? You don't look so good.
Carol Oh, don't worry about me. You just go enjoy your drink.[Note 11]
No need to worry about me, dear. You just go enjoy your food.
Oh, don't worry yourself over me. I'm just fine. Go talk to your friends.
I've been better, but I'm fine. No need to worry.
Oh, I'm doing alright, I suppose.
I'm fine, I'm just fine. Thank you for your concern. I'm fine.
22 Underworld resident Hi, Carol.
Hello, Carol. It's been pretty quiet around here lately.
Hi, Carol. You know, things seem a little quiet around here.
Carol Good morning... I think. Is it morning?
If you need anything, just ask Greta.
Hello. How is everything?
Hi there, enjoying yourself?
23 Underworld resident Hey, Greta, can I get a drink?
I'm thirsty, Greta.
Greta, I have a thirst.
Greta, you got a second? I wanted a drink.
Hey Greta, can I get a drink?
I need a drink, Greta.
Greta, I'm still sober. Fix it, please.
Greta Sure hon, what do you need?
Yeah, no problem. What's your poison?
Of course, what's up?
No problem, drunky. What do you need?
That's my job, what do you need?
No problem at all. What can I get for you?
That's what I'm here for.
Underworld resident Give me a beer.
Beer.
I'll take a scotch.
Scotch, straight up. In fact, just give me the bottle.
If you've got any more of that scotch laying around, I'll take some of that.
Bring me some of that whisky, you know, the stuff that Quinn got from that guy up north.
Bring me something brown and alcoholic.
Kentucky straight. You remember Kentucky? Nah, you're too young.
How about some of that whiskey?
I'll take some of that vodka, if you have it.
I really don't care, just make sure it has liquor in it.
Bring me something warm and painful.
I don't care, really. Whatever takes the pain away.
Greta Sure, if you don't mind waiting a few minutes.
We just got some more in, I'll grab that for you in a minute.
I think we can do that.
Sure, no problem. I'll get it for you in a second.
One more, comin' up.
Sure, no problem.[Note 7]
You're really going for a record, aren't you?[Note 7]
Sure, no problem... drunk...[Note 7]
Alright, but if you pass out, I'm just going to roll you into the fire.[Note 7]
You should take it easy on this stuff. You know that you get all drippy when you're drunk.[Note 7]
Yeah, no problem.[Note 7]
You got it.[Note 7]
Underworld resident I'll just be here sobering up until you get back.
Relief can't come soon enough.
Thank you, Greta.
Thanks, Greta.
24 Underworld resident Brains... I mean "food". I'm hungry, Greta.
Well, I'm not dead yet, so I might as well eat something.
I want some food.
Greta, can I get some food over here?
Greta, can you get me something to eat?
I'm starving, Greta. Help me out here.
Nng. Hungry.
Greta Hungry again? What do you need?
Everyone's gotta eat, I suppose. What'll you have?
Just can't get enough, can you?
Get it while it's lukewarm.
Yeah, hon, what do you need?
What do you want?
Yeah, sure, what do you need?
That's what I'm here for.
Sure, kitchen's open. What do you want?
No refunds if you don't keep it down this time. Now, what can I get you?
Underworld resident Got any more of that Squirrel-on-a-Stick?
I'll take some of those Squirrel Bits, if you have any more.
You got any of Carol's special Squirrel Stew?
You ever wonder where all those iguanas come from? I do. I guess it don't matter, 'cause they sure are tasty. You got any?
I could really go for some Iguana. You got any left?
Doc says I should eat more Mutfruit. You guys got any?
You got any of those Mutfruits that Quinn brought back?
Sure could go for some squirrel, if you have any more.
Hrm... I haven't had noodles for a long time, you still makin' those?
I could go for some noodles. You got any?
Greta I'm not sure, I'll go check.
Sit tight, I'll find out for you as soon as I can.
I'll go have a look.
I can go find out for you.
Yeah... sure. It's your stomach. I'll go find out.
You must be feeling brave. I'll go have a look.
Wow. Well, okay. I'll go have a look.
Underworld resident Oh, awesome. Thank you, Greta. I'm starving.
Thank you, Greta.
I'll be here.
I'll try not to starve before you get back.
Thanks, Greta.
25 Underworld resident (1)
Snowflake
This place is going to shit, have you noticed?
You know, Winthrop does his best -- he's a great mechanic, but he just can't keep up. This place is falling apart!
Winthrop needs some help. I mean, it's not like he has any time to train anyone to fix this shit around here.
Every day, there's something new: the generators go down, the water has funk in it, the air filters die...
The air is off in the common house again. It stinks of sweaty death down there. I swear, every day it's something new.
Underworld resident (2)
Snowflake
This place is coming down around our ears.
Jesus, this place is falling apart.
Poor Winthrop, the guy really needs some help.
One mechanic just isn't enough to keep this place going, I guess.
If I knew how, I'd give Winthrop a hand, but I have no idea how all of this old junk works.
It a miracle that some of this shit works in the first place. I guess it's just a matter of time...
26 Underworld resident (1) Carol's changed at lot lately. Have you noticed? She's more... quiet.
Carol just seems so sad these days...
Carol used to love this place, now it's like she hardly even cares. Have you noticed that?
Underworld resident (2) Yeah, now that you mention it. I wonder what's going on...
Haven't noticed, don't care.
I don't really pay attention. I only come here because I can't stand the Ninth Circle. That place is just nasty. Even I think so.
Actually, I haven't noticed. At all.
27 Underworld resident (1) Did you hear that?
That sound just won't stop. Do you hear that?
Hey, did I tell you about... wait... do you hear that?
Do you smell something strange?
I keep smelling this strange smell... it's like... onions. You remember onions? Yeah. It's like that. Do you smell it?
What the hell is that smell? I mean, it's not bad, it's just... I don't know... do you smell that?
Underworld resident (2) Not, not really.
What are you talking about?
Not since the last time you asked.
Uhm... no. Are you okay?
Yeah, I wonder what it could be...
Yeah, that's really weird. Oh well, it's gone now.
28 Underworld resident (1) Do you smell something strange?
I keep smelling this strange smell... it's like... onions. You remember onions? Yeah. It's like that. Do you smell it?
What the hell is that smell? I mean, it's not bad, it's just... I don't know... do you smell that?
Underworld resident (2) No, not really.
I haven't been able to smell anything for about thirty years now.
Are you joking? I lost my sense of smell before you even crinkled up.
Yeah... kinda like onions... that's so strange...
29 Underworld resident (1) Have you tried the new whisky he's stocking? It's... it's something special...
This drink is foul. And that's a Ghoul calling something foul.
Oh man... this is nasty, but it does the job.
This vodka really sucks.
Have you tried this? It isn't good, but it's strong.
Christ, the beer in this place tastes like piss...
You know, the cider isn't half bad... for malted rat piss.
Underworld resident (2) Yeah. I ordered it yesterday... I found one of Patchwork's fingers in it. I think I'll avoid it.
Are you kidding? I wouldn't feed that shit to the dog.
I'd rather drink malted rat piss.
It's not half bad, I guess.
I don't even know what good drinks taste like anymore.
I've forgotten the taste of good liquor.
30 Underworld resident (1) ...buncha goddamn worthless walking corpses...
Jesus Christ... 123 years... what's the fucking point?
Some days, I just wish that someone would come through here and put a bullet in all of our heads...
Nothing but pain and misery...
There's got to be something more than this...
Yeah, I'm just a drunk zombie... what good am I?
The best I can hope for is that the liquor kills me before some mutated beast turns me into a snack.
If there were a God, I'd pray for death.
All I ask is to go quietly. And soon.
Underworld resident (2) Dude. Harshing the buzz. Minus five points.
We'd probably all be better off if the Brotherhood came through here and "purged" us.
Yeah... every time you start feeling good, life kicks you in the ass again.
Go away, I'm trying to enjoy myself here.
Well, aren't you a ray of sunshine?
31 Underworld resident (1)
Snowflake
Hey, you.
Hey.
Hi.
Hello.
Underworld resident (2)
Snowflake
What's new with you?
S'up?
What's happening?
Hey, what's up?
Hey, how's it going?
How're you?
Hey, have you heard any news?
Some people are talking, what have you heard?
I'm starting to get that funny feeling again, have you heard about anything that might be going on?
Hey.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
Hi.
Good morning.
Good morning... I think. Is it morning? I can never tell.
Mornin'.
Evenin'. Not that you can really tell down here.
Nice night.
32 Underworld resident (1)
Snowflake
Hey. How's it going?
How's it going?
Underworld resident (2)
Snowflake
What do you think?
Are you kidding? I'm a zombie who lives underground. I think you can guess how I am.
Fucking terrible, but I won't bother you with the details.
Look at this place. Look at me. How do you think I am?
About as good as can be expected.
I can't complain. Actually, I can, but I won't.
I'm alright, I suppose.
Meh. Been better.
33 Underworld resident (1)
Snowflake
Hey, you. What's new?
Hey, man. What's happening?
Long time, no see. What's going on with you?
Hey, what's up?
It's been a while, what've you been up to?
What's happening?
Underworld resident (2)
Snowflake
I'm still a Ghoul. That's what's happening.
I'm keeping it together. You know how it is.
Other than that thing with the Radroaches the other day, nothing at all.
Nada.
Nothing at all.
34 Underworld resident (1)
Snowflake
What's going on?
What's the word?
What have you heard?
Underworld resident (2)
Snowflake
It's been quiet... too quiet.
It's been too quiet.
I haven't heard a damn thing.
I never know what's going on.
It's been quiet lately. At least, it's been quiet around me.
Nobody tells me anything.
Nothing at all.
I haven't heard a damn thing.

  • Bugged These conversations work, but their response sets are mixed up. In-game, Carol's response set for #21 will be used for the first three prompts out of these four ("Hey, Carol. You okay?", "Hi, Carol.", and "Hello, Carol."), while Carol's responses for #22 will be used for the fourth prompt ("Hi, Carol. You know...").
  • There are two unused lines for #22 which would have played after Carol's responses: "Yes, yes, everything is fine." and "Oh, it's great. Everything is perfect. Greta takes good care of us." In-game, the conversation will end once Carol speaks.
24 The first prompt line has a one percent chance of occurring.
25 May only occur in the Underworld concourse.
26
27
28
May only occur in Carol's Place. Conversation 26 can only occur if Carol is alive.

May only occur in the Ninth Circle.

  • The first nine responses to this prompt will link into other conversations' responses:
  • The last five responses are dependent on the time of day.
  • The three "Hello." responses all have distinct, different voice files.

Shared[]

These lines can be spoken by anyone in Underworld. This includes all unique ghouls, all generic Underworld residents, and also Reilly. Cerberus can say a few of these responses, but he is not intended to, as he does not have any relevant voice files. However, there are no shared prompts that would target him either.

  • Ahzrukhal has unique responses if the speaker is Winthrop, listed here.

Bugged The prompts for these two conversations are incorrectly randomized (all of them have the Random End flag checked), which makes it so that only the first prompt can ever play. Otherwise, the conversation works as intended.

All characters can additionally respond with the generic line "Hey, you."

Unused[]

These two sets of responses are not used by any prompt. Their IDs indicate they would have been responses to HELLOs from Underworld residents to either Carol or Greta, or between two Underworld residents, if either Carol or Greta is dead. These are contained in the UnderworldTalkGhoulCarolsCarolDeadResponse and UnderworldTalkGhoulCarolsGretaDeadResponse topics (which are identical apart from the name).

Carol or Greta would say the following lines (though only Greta is listed as a possible speaker):

  • "I'm not really ready to talk about it."[Note 13]
  • "It's... it's been hard. I... I need to go..."
  • "Thank you, I appreciate it. I can't talk about her. Not now."
  • "I.... I can't talk about it. Not yet."

Underworld residents would say the following lines:

  • "This place just isn't the same without her."
  • "I don't know, maybe it's for the best. Not that I didn't love her, but this life sucks."
  • "I miss her too."
  • "She'll be missed."

Broken Steel[]

Broken Steel adds several sets of scripted conversations between Griffon and his audience of Underworld residents.

Sales pitches[]

These are Griffon's Aqua Cura sales pitches. They are scripted and occur in a looping fashion: Griffon will go through all twenty of his pitches before repeating any of them, though they will occur in random order, and with a randomly-selected audience response.

Confession[]

This is Griffon's scripted confession if The Amazing Aqua Cura! is completed by forcing Griffon to tell the truth about Aqua Cura.

Speaker Line
Griffon Ah... my um... LOYAL customers and FRIENDS! It appears I may have slightly exaggerated some of the benefits of the, uh, Amazing Aqua Cura.
Underworld resident (1) What?!
Griffon Aheh.
Underworld resident (2) Is he saying what I think he's saying?
Griffon Turns out due to ah... a bottling irregularity - aheh- rather than actual Aqua Pura... <deep breath> You've all been purchasing regular, unpurified, irradiated water.
Underworld resident (3) <Gasp!>
Underworld resident (4) I can't believe it.
Griffon Yeah, but we're ghouls so it's not like it's hurt anybody.
Underworld resident (1) He's been LYING to us!
Griffon Aheheh. Wooo. Now. Before you all get upset...[Note 15]
Underworld resident (2) It's a little late for that.
Griffon I'd like to point out something to you folks, that you might be overlooking in your current state of rage - aheh - You've all seen an actual improvement in your lives. Granted, it's not due to any inherent -material- property of the water.
Underworld resident (4) Lies! All lies!
Griffon BUT! Due to your BELIEF in the transmuting power of the AMAZING Aqua Cura, you have ALL experienced renewed hope!
Underworld resident (1) He's made fools of us!
Griffon And for that, I trust you will remain grateful.
Underworld resident (4) "Grateful?" Really?
Griffon Aheheh.
Underworld resident (3) I want my money back!
Griffon And, as I've said with each and every purchase: "All sales are final." Eheh.
Underworld resident (4) That's it. Get him!
Griffon I can assure you, ladies and gentlemen, that violence won't be necessary. I'll just pack up my things and be going now.
Underworld resident (4) Kill him! Kill the lying two faced bastard!
Griffon I've made a huge mistake.
