1 What do you know about the Rust King? 0084BDE2 Some overgrown green bastard with delusions of grandeur?
2 Not the first would-be king I've seen in the Wasteland. Doubt he'll be the last.
3 He doesn't interfere with my business, I've got no reason to get involved with his.
4 All I know is kings fall, and all crowns rust.
5 Give me a premium target. 0084BDD3 Well, all right! Full of confidence, eh, cowboy?
6 Wasteland's full of confident dead guys. Let's see if you've got the stuff to back it up. There's just this little matter of my fee, mind you.
7 0084BCAB 0084BDDC For the likes of you, anyway. Me, well, I'm here for other libations.
8 0084BDDD That ain't a problem for you or me, though, is it?
9 What are you doing in Ohio? Besides running bounty hunters, I mean. 0084BDD4 Maybe I'm just waiting for the right bounty to fall into my lap. Maybe it's none of your business.
10 Let's just say I followed somebody out here. Somebody I'd very much like to meet. Until we have a face-to-face, well...
11 A man needs a hobby.
12 I'll stick to regular targets for now. 0084BDE1 Suit yourself. You know where to find me.
13 Tell me about these "juicy" targets. 0084BDE4 These are the worst of the worst. Most hunters that go after these targets wind up dead. And that just makes the bounty larger.
14 Thing is, it's bad for business if I keep sending bounty hunters to their death. People start to think I can't get things done.
15 So, things work a little differently for these. First off, you post the notice for one of these fellas, it's open season.
16 Any hunter that wants to can get in on the action, and you'll likely be grateful for the help.
17 Second, I only allow one of these bounties to be open at once. Somebody else has one posted, you're just gonna have to wait until they're taken out.
18 Hell, join in if you want!
19 Most importantly, these are the ones I like to handle myself. If you want one, I need compensation.
20 I wanted to know about something else. 0084BDD2 Of course you do.
21 Forget it. I'll come back later. 0084BDD9 Just as well. Ain't no half measures in this business.
22 What's it going to cost me? 0084BDDB Probably more caps than you're comfortable payin', but... I'm a man of principle, you see.
23 Principles cost a lot in the Wasteland. Often more than just money. Consider this a bargain.
24 I'm looking for another bounty. 0084BDEB Hah! Knew you'd get the taste for it. Now you're back for more, huh?
25 No need to get me involved; you know the drill. Peel one off the stack and get to it.
26 Good huntin'.
27 0084BCBC 0084BDDF I can do that. There's just the small matter of my compensation.
28 0084BDE0 No can do, hoss. One per customer. Gotta finish what's on your plate before you come back for seconds.
29 Give me a premium target. 0084BDE7 Hmm...
30 [5,000 Caps] All right, here's your caps. 0084BDDE Pleasure doing business with you.
31 Here's the bounty notice. Take this and post it on the board outside. Let everyone know the hunt is on.
32 Good huntin'.
33 You want a bribe? 0084BDF3 Well, not a bribe entirely. Think of it as greasing the wheels of commerce.
34 Are you kidding me? You've already made money on this. 0084BDEE Someone once said it was easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism. Well, they was right.
35 Now, you want to jump the line, well...that costs. Your call.
36 Actually, never mind. 0084BDE3 Last time somebody wasted my time like you, I shot 'em. Keep it up and maybe next bounty's on you.
37 0084BCC8 0084BD6F No need to be shy about it, stranger. The locals sure ain't. Or maybe you're just the silent, violent type.
38 0084BD70 If you're looking for the tourism office, this ain't it.
39 Ah, what the hell, I'm in a good mood... Best not change that.
40 0084BD71 The sort of person I'm sending you after is a killer, to be sure, but small potatoes.
41 Now, if you're hungry for a full meal... I've got contracts out on real sons of bitches.
42 The kind that put the fear in entire towns and leave a trail of dead bounty hunters in their wake. And I'm not just referring to myself.
43 I'm talking twelve course dinner. Real juicy targets. I don't give those out to just anyone.
44 0084BCC9 0084BD80 Unless you've got business, keep on walkin'.
45 0084BD81 Hmm. Considering - sizing up the player.
46 0084BD82 Those tin cans ain't all they're cracked up to be, y'know. Player is wearing Power Armor
47 0084BD83 Hnh. A dismissive noise - seeing the player and not thinking much of them
48 0084BD84 Help yourself to a bounty. There's always more.
49 0084BD85 Pile never seems to get smaller. Grab a bounty if you feel like rollin' the dice.
50 0084BD86 More where those came from. Help yourself.
51 0084BCCA 0084BDF4 Well, now, welcome back, killer
52 0084BDF5 Just here to wet your whistle, or you lookin' to play for blood?
53 0084BDF6 Not lookin' for friends. Talk business or get lost.
54 0084BDF7 Still alive? Wouldn't've put money on it.
55 0084BDF8 You wainting for something? You've got the bounty. Get on out there, killer.
56 0084BDF9 You still interested in taking a bounty?
57 0084BDFA You gonna quit wastin' my time?
58 0084BDFB Well, well, looks like you and I share something more than just an itchy trigger finger, don't it? Appraising, a little sarcastic - player is also a ghoul
59 0084BDFC *laughs* I'd recognize that look anywhere. You've got that "I'm inclined to violence" way about you.
60 0084BDFD You again. Didn't think you'd make it this far. Guess you got your hands very dirty indeed.
61 Sounds like I should just deal with the clients themselves and keep the money. 0084BD68 Assuming you know where to begin, then you'd be competition, wouldn't you?
62 Lotta folks made that mistake over the years. I'm still here.
63 They ain't.
64 Why not collect the bounties yourself, if you're already being paid? 0084BD4B Oh, I keep my hand in, from time to time, if the job's interesting enough. Most ain't.
65 Let's just say the barkeep here's got the vials I like, and I ain't inclined to stray unless properly compelled. Besides...
66 There's always more folk need killin' than I can be bothered with, anyway.
67 And here you are.
68 You're getting paid. Why am I doing all the work for scraps? 0084BD6E I think you mean you're getting to do the best part, while I sit in this pisshole.
69 I keep my ear to the ground, you keep your iron in your hand. We'll get along just fine.
70 A reputation as a killer of killers goes a long way in these parts, if the excitement and looting ain't enough for you.
71 That easy? What's the catch? 0084BD51 That easy. Those contracts aren't worth my very valuable time, so I'm happy for you or anyone else to take 'em off my hands.
72 Unless you're looking for something more exciting. That's a beast of a different color.
73 I guess I'm off, then. 0084BD77 Remember: we don't do "dead or alive". Just dead.
74 I'm not a murderer. 0084BD7A Is that right, hoss? Your path here bathed in blood, and you innocent as the day your momma spat you out?
75 Well, if it helps you sleep at night, every name I hand out's somebody that has it comin'. Might as well collect 'fore someone else does.
76 What's in it for me? 0084BD94 Keep what you kill, cowboy. To the victor goes the spoils, as they say.
77 If someone's bad enough the poor saps here put up money to kill them, odds are they've got something worth taking.
78 Of course, well, you might just do it for the thrill of it. Or am I mistaken?
79 Okay, deal me in. I'll take a bounty. 0084BD5A That's the killer instinct I was looking for! Got a big stack of open contracts right there. Help yourself; more there than I could ever bother with.
80 Unless you're looking for something juicier. Well, that's a whole different ballgame.
81 Who the hell are you? 0084BD63 Not that kind of rodeo, partner. I don't care who you are and I sure as hell ain't here to share my life story, even if you'd believe me.
82 You want to talk business, we can. Otherwise, move along. You're classin' up the joint.
83 All right, then. Tell me more about bounty hunting. 0084BD47 I had you pegged from the start.
84 Simple enough arrangement. I collect a fee from the afflicted, and farm out the killin' to motivated individuals such as yourself.
85 You run down the target in whatever shithole they're hidin' out in and put 'em in the ground, whatever means necessary.
86 Have fun with it! I know I do.
87 Are you talking about assassins? 0084BD69 That's a bit high-falutin' for folks 'round these parts. Call it what it is: bounty huntin'.
88 Somebody needs somebody else dead and ain't got the stones to handle it themselves, I make the arrangements. For a fee, of course.
89 0084BCEC 0084BD52 What it is, is business. Business that just might be of interest to someone of your...disposition.
90 Is that a threat? 0084BD78 Now, let's put that hostility on ice for a spell, hotshot. Hands away from the iron.
91 If I meant you harm, you'd already know it. I've got a little proposition, if you'll shut up and listen.
92 0084BCEF 0084BD55 I happen to run a little service for the folks of this...charming locale.
93 See, they ain't got anything you might call law around here. Suits me fine, mind you, but that leaves a lot of bad blood unaddressed.
94 Generous soul that I am, I match demands for vengeance with bloody-handed individuals like yourself who are eager to deal it out.
95 0084BDC7 0084BDE8
96 0084BDE9
97 0084BDEA
98 Let's talk about something else. 0084BDE5 Yeah, I'm bored already.
99 You don't sound like a local. 0084BDED Figured that out all by yourself, did you? No, I am not.
100 Small mercies, huh? Not that one place is much better than another in the Wasteland.
101 Where I'm from is one of those things that's not your concern.
102 Tell me about Highway Town. 0084BDDA This dump is the only livable place for miles and miles. They've got drinkable water here.
103 Well, drinkable enough. Everything else in the region is pure poison, never mind the radiation.
104 What can you tell me about the area? 0084BDEF Ohio? Didn't think much of it before the bombs dropped, and it hasn't improved since.
105 Never expected a desert out this way, though. Somebody really fucked it up.

1 0084BCF0 0084BD87 Well, look at you. Fresh from the can and not a speck of dirt on you. Best watch your step around here.
2 Figured you Vaulties weren't done cooking yet. Guess I was wrong.
3 Already interrogated the last one of you to come out of that hole. Sounds like there's nothing down there for me, though.
4 Saves me the trouble of breakin' in.
5 0084BF32 Got no time nor inclination for chit-chat.
6 Find me at the Last Resort in Highway Town if you're lookin' to do business.
7 What happened to your face? 0084BEE8 Hah.
8 Guess they don't have manners in that Vault of yours.
9 I'll give you a pass on that this one time, seein' as you just stepped foot into the Wasteland a minute ago.
10 Same thing that'll happen to your face you stay out here long enough. Ain't the only one, neither. Best get used to the sight.
11 Can you tell me anything about this area? 0084BF28 This brain ain't for pickin'. Plenty of locals around here who'll talk your ear off, I'm sure.
12 Wait...there's people alive out here? 0084BEF4 A lot more than you might expect, Vaultie, depending on your definition of "people". Best get comfortable with the idea.
13 There's a lot of folks out there might take advantage of your wide-eyed innocence. Present company included.
14 0084BED5 0084BF57 Keep those hands where I can see 'em, stranger. This one's mine, and I'd prefer my killin' to be for-profit today.
15 0084BF59 Normally, I'd tell you to go to hell, if not shoot you and take anything valuable.
16 Seein' as this one here just made me a pile of caps and you're still wet behind the ears, I'm feelin' generous.
17 What? Who are you? 0084BF5A Oh, just a workin' man passin' through.
18 This fella here had a price on his head, and thought he'd run far enough.
19 He hadn't.
20 I think that's enough talk. 0084BF5B Couldn't agree more.
21 If you get out to Burning Springs, see me at the Last Resort saloon. Might be there's work for you.
22 Where'd you come from? 0084BF5C Slow down there, cowboy. Buy a fella dinner first. Let's just say I'm currently residing in Burning Springs, across the river in what used to be Ohio.
23 You killed this person? 0084BF5D He was dead the moment they put a bounty on his sorry ass. This just happens to be where we concluded our business.
24 Burning Springs? 0084BF5E That's the name the locals use these days. Burnt clean away after the war. Not like here. Might've been an improvement.
25 Maybe it was the bombs, maybe something else. Nothing but rock, sand, and poison dust now. And opportunity, if you've got the stones for it.
26 Got a half-assed town out there, though. Highway Town. At least they've got a decent bar.
27 How do I get there? 0084BF5F You got a map on that fancy Pip-Boy of yours? I'll point it out. If you're inclined, there's a bridge out by Point Pleasant.
28 I had some other questions. 0084BF60 Make it quick. I'm gettin' bored, fast.
29 0084BED5 0084BF61 Might want to get your feet under you first. Folks out that way tend to shoot first and forget about questions.
30 Do what you want, 'cause I ain't your daddy.
31 0084BF62 You might even survive the experience. Plenty of work out there, if you don't mind killing.
32 You're what...a bounty hunter? 0084BF63 Bingo! Got it in one.
33 Run a little business out in Burning Springs, from a saloon called the Last Resort.
34 I farm some of it out to independent operators. I keep the fun ones for myself.
35 What did they do? 0084BF64 Hell if I know. So long as the caps from the bounty end up in my pocket to pay for the chems in my lungs, I don't much care what they did.
36 0084BED5 0084BF65 Probably best you worry about yourself for now. This kind of work isn't for lost little lambs like you.
37 Of course, if that changes - or if you just have a death wish - come look me up sometime.
38 0084BF66 If you're interested, find me there. I got a feelin' you might be cut out for this sort of thing.
