- ↑ Gordon's character description: "You see a very nicely dressed ghoul with his hair slicked back."
(Gordon's dialogue) - ↑ Gordon: "I look for ways of maximizing my potential worth."
The Chosen One: "Hmm, sounds like greed to me."
Gordon: "I am greedy. But most people misunderstand greed. Greed is a powerful driving force. Throughout history, mankind's greatest achievements were driven by men that wanted to better their positions. Driven by greed. Greed, for lack of a better word, is good."
(Gordon's dialogue) - ↑ The Chosen One: "I'll take your word for that, Gordon. But what does greed have to do with Gecko?"
Gordon: "So far, not much. But in greed lies Gecko's salvation. I have important information about the survival of Gecko, but I can't get anyone to listen to me."
The Chosen One: "What kind of information?"
Gordon: "Well, I've calculated that if our reactor was running properly, we could generate an enormous amount of excess power -- far more than Gecko needs."
