GREETING

|
Oh- oh my. How unfortunate! And in front of all these people, too. {fretting - a little flustered}

|
He always was a bit of a pill, Mortimer. He was so pouty when I decided to ban eating people. And now this.
|
2
|
| Neutral 50
|
I should've paid more attention to the warning signs.
|
3
|
| Neutral 50
|
Can you imagine what people would've said? Why, it would've been a complete scandal if it weren't for you.
|

| GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
To think, Mr. Gunderson, a cold-blooded murderer. It's simply chilling.
|
5
|
| Neutral 50
|
But his arrest ought to instill faith in our patrons that murderers are not welcome to gamble here.
|

|
| GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
What a disaster! An important person dead in my hotel.
|

|
| Neutral 50
|
{Appalled} Now people will confuse us with Gomorrah. The idea!

| GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
So glad you could be here tonight. I had hoped you would join us.
|

|
| GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
Welcome to the Ultra-Luxe. I do hope it exceeds your every expectation.

|
I'm looking for someone who went missing here recently.
|
Neutral 50
|
This again? I thought all this was settled. I answered every one of that investigator's questions to his satisfaction and gave all the help I could.
|
11
|
| Neutral 50
|
I know our reputation hasn't always been spotless, but that's all in the past now. How some people can't get over it is beyond me.
|

|
| Neutral 50
|
For the last time, the White Glove Society has never and will never consume human flesh for any reason. It's written in the charter.
|
13
|
| VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic001
|
The White Glove Society used to eat human flesh?
|
Neutral 50
|
Now didn't I already tell you that we don't do that sort of thing? We do not engage in cannibalism here under any circumstances.
|
14
|
| Neutral 50
|
Though we haven't always been the White Glove Society. There was another time, a dark time, when we went by a different name. {lightly admitting some guilt}
|
15
|
| Neutral 50
|
But that's all changed now! We've... evolved past such base impulses since settling into our new home. I've seen to it that those days are behind us. {proud}
|
16
|
| VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic002
|
Who did you talk to about the disappearance?
|
Neutral 50
|
There was an investigator who came through here last week. He'd been hired by a young man whose bride-to-be went missing during their stay here.
|
17
|
| Neutral 50
|
Well you can already guess what probably happened, can't you? It seems perfectly likely that she got cold feet and ran off.
|
18
|
| Neutral 50
|
And that young groom just didn't have a clue, the poor dear.
|
19
|
| VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic003
|
It's okay. I eat people too. You can tell me the truth.
|
Anger 50
|
You disgust me. How dare you say such a filthy thing in my establishment? I ought to have you arrested.
|
20
|
| Anger 25
|
You'll kindly mind your tongue, or we shan't speak any further.
|
21
|
| VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic004
|
<Lie> It's okay. I eat people too. You can tell me the truth.
|
Anger 50
|
You disgust me. How dare you say such a filthy thing in my establishment? I ought to have you arrested.
|
22
|
| Anger 25
|
You'll kindly mind your tongue, or we shan't speak any further.
|
23
|
| VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic005
|
Is there any way I could talk to the investigator?
|
Neutral 50
|
Why yes, I think so. If he hasn't checked out yet, that is.
|
24
|
| Neutral 50
|
I had our maitre d', Mortimer, offer him a complimentary room for as long as it took for him to be satisfied.
|
25
|
| Neutral 50
|
You see? The White Glove Society remains the very picture of courtesy, even in the face of such impolite accusations. We have nothing to hide here.
|
26
|
| VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic006
|
I'm investigating someone else. A man. And he just recently went missing.
|
Neutral 50
|
A man? Well then this... well this can't be. Two disappearances in my hotel? What will people say?
|
27
|
| Neutral 50
|
I'm going to have a word with my staff about security on the premises.
|
28
|
| Neutral 50
|
Whether these people are found or not, our guests simply must feel safe in their own rooms.
|
29
|
| VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic007
|
Do you work here?
|
Neutral 50
|
I do, but one can hardly call it work. I think of myself as a caretaker rather than a common laborer.
|
30
|
| Neutral 50
|
I suppose it is a labor of love if it can be called labor at all.
|
31
|
| Neutral 50
|
We at the White Glove Society are all responsible for maintaining the beauty and class of the Ultra-Luxe.
|
32
|
| Neutral 50
|
And as its founder I suppose it falls to me to decide how we go about it.
|
33
|
| VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic008
|
Heck Gunderson said he was here to talk business with you. What business?
|
Neutral 50
|
What else? Mr. Gunderson and I have been discussing his livestock.
|
34
|
| Neutral 50
|
It's put us in rather a delicate position, you see, his coming here. Not that we aren't grateful for his generous offer.
|
35
|
| Neutral 50
|
But our executive chef Philippe has transformed brahmin steak into a delicacy. He really is a genius. Everyone wants it.
|
36
|
| Neutral 50
|
But a delicacy is just that - delicate. If everyone can get it, it ceases to be a delicacy. It becomes a perfectly ordinary staple. {turning up her nose at 'staple'}
|
37
|
| Neutral 50
|
And if the Gourmand served staples, it would no longer draw the caliber of people it deserves. It'd be a diner or a... a family restaurant. {nauseated by the thought of a family restaurant}
|
38
|
| Neutral 50
|
So as much as we'd all love for there to be enough steak for everyone, I'm afraid there are more important things to consider.
|
39
|
| VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic009
|
I want to join the White Glove Society. I was told I'd need a sponsor.
|
Neutral 50
|
Why yes, of course. The White Glove Society is the most exclusive club in all of New Vegas. Perhaps the entire world.
|
40
|
| Neutral 50
|
It's only natural that you'd need a sponsor from within the club who can vouch for your good name.
|
41
|
| Neutral 50
|
Originally we didn't allow anyone else in, you see. Founding members only. We thought exclusivity would make us the envy of everyone who's anyone.
|
42
|
| Neutral 50
|
And it has. But then I had the idea to allow honorary members. Lower in status, naturally, but it just makes people want to be us even more. {emph. "has."}
|
43
|
| Neutral 50
|
And the right people could certainly do wonders for our image. Celebrities, philanthropists. We want only the very best.
|
44
|
| I want to join the White Glove Society. I was told I'd need a sponsor.
|
Neutral 50
|
I'm afraid you are a relative unknown. Certainly not the caliber of person we would consider for such an honor. Not yet, anyway.
|
45
|
| Neutral 50
|
If you had more notoriety or clout here on the Strip, things would be different. People need to have heard of you, and you must be well thought of.
|
46
|
| I want to join the White Glove Society. I was told I'd need a sponsor.
|
Neutral 50
|
And you most definitely fit the bill. Given your deeds on the Strip alone, I can safely say that you would be a prized addition to our honorary ranks.
|
47
|
| VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic010
|
Would you be willing to sponsor me as an honorary member now?
|
Neutral 50
|
The answer is still no, I fear. You need to be the talk of the town, really. Think big! Your name should be on everyone's lips.
|
48
|
| Neutral 50
|
Come back then, and we shall welcome you with open arms.
|
49
|
| Would you be willing to sponsor me as an honorary member now?
|
Neutral 50
|
Most definitely! You have become quite an impressive person in my estimation, and you are very well regarded here among those in the know.
|
50
|
| Would you be willing to sponsor me as an honorary member now?
|
Neutral 50
|
You have my full support, and you are welcome to join us at our nightly banquets in our special section of the Gourmand.
|
51
|
| Neutral 50
|
I hope to see you there.
|

Caesar wishes to extend your society an offer of alliance with his Legion.
|
Neutral 50
|
Tell your ruler we have no interest in such ties. Caesar's Legion is a collection of unclean barbarians.
|
53
|
| Neutral 50
|
Any time the White Glove Society is mentioned in the same breath, it sullies our good name.
|
54
|
| Neutral 50
|
As much as Mortimer and some of the other members have tried to convince me otherwise, I will not have us seen as savages.
|
55
|
| Caesar wishes to extend your society an offer of alliance with his Legion.
|
Neutral 50
|
I don't care for their incivility or the hodgepodge of sporting equipment that passes for fashion with them.
|
56
|
| Neutral 50
|
Nevertheless, I have heard Caesar has a stately dignity about him. And I understand his policies will agree with our new menu.
|
57
|
| Neutral 50
|
I prefer Mr. House, of course, but he may not be around forever. And the NCR will surely set back our cuisine. Tell your Mr. Caesar we are with him.
|
58
|
| VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic012
|
How is your new cuisine faring?
|
Neutral 50
|
Why it's splendid. Simply to die for.
|
59
|
| Neutral 50
|
{affably} Mortimer told me about you, you know. What a pair of mischief makers you two are!
|
60
|
| Neutral 50
|
But the new entrees are fresh and bold and I have the two of you to thank for it.
