| GREETING
| GREETING
| Neutral 50
| Well, looks like you came through after all. She's not half bad looking, is she? It's almost a shame...
| 1
|
| Neutral 50
| Crimson Caravan and Van Graffs won't need to worry about you anymore, Mojave's ours, we're shutting you down for good.
| 2
|
| GREETING
| Happy 65
| {Laughs} That was fun. Did you see the look on that bitch's face? {Laughs again} Priceless.
| 3
|
| GREETING
| Neutral 50
| As I live and breathe, Rose of Sharon Cassidy. The {emph} late Rose of Sharon Cassidy. Was hoping you were on that caravan I massacred, but...
| 4
|
| Neutral 50
| Crimson Caravan and Van Graffs won't need to worry about you anymore, Mojave's ours, and we're shutting you down for good.
| 5
|
| GREETING
| Neutral 50
| Hey, how's it going? You find that bitch yet or not?
| 6
|
| GREETING
| Neutral 50
| Ah, just the person I was looking for. Your name came up in a discussion we had recently.
| 7
|
| Neutral 50
| My sister is very impressed with you so far, but I'm not. I don't think you have what it takes to work for this family.
| 8
|
| Neutral 50
| Luckily for you, I'm going to give you the chance to prove me wrong. What do you say? Want to make some real money?
| 9
|
| GREETING
| Neutral 50
| What the fuck do you want? I've got no use for fucking cowards.
| 10
|
| GREETING
| Neutral 50
| Glory's the one you want to talk to about working for us. I just handle the details.
| 11
|
| GREETING
| Neutral 50
| Eh? You want something?
| 12
|
| GREETING
| Neutral 50
| Get the fuck away from me. The last man who bothered me "volunteered" to help test our weapons.
| 13
|
| VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic000
| Absolutely.
| Neutral 50
| All right then. If we're going to work together, there's only one thing you need to know about me. I like things simple.
| 14
|
| Neutral 50
| Recently Glory negotiated a deal between us and a big time player. We're talking more caps than you'd probably see in a lifetime.
| 15
|
| Neutral 50
| Your part in this is simple. To finalize this deal, I need to tie up a loose end. To do that, there's a girl I need you to find.
| 16
|
| VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic001
| What would I have to do?
| Neutral 50
| No, no, no. That's not how it works. You don't get to weigh the options. You're either in or you're out.
| 17
|
| VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic002
| I'm busy now.
| Neutral 50
| Yeah, sure fucking thing. I'll be waiting with baited breath for your schedule to clear up, ha ha.
| 18
|
| VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic004
| In that case, I'm out.
| Neutral 50
| I thought so. Come back when you've got a backbone.
| 19
|
| VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic005
| Who is this girl?
| Neutral 50
| Her name's Rose of Sharon Cassidy. That's some fancy shit, right? {Beat, to himself} Don't know what her mother was thinking with a name like that.
| 20
|
| Neutral 50
| But this girl and I, we need to have a discussion. {Beat, cold} Find her, bring her here, so I can talk to her, one-on-one.
| 21
|
| VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic006
| Do you know where she is?
| Neutral 50
| Fuck, no. If I knew where this bitch was, do you think I'd be asking you?
| 22
|
| Neutral 50
| Still, there's someone who might - old Alice McLafferty, Crimson Caravan, might know something.
| 23
|
| Neutral 50
| She keeps tabs on caravan traffic in the Mojave, wouldn't put it past her to keep track of Cassidy Caravans and its owner.
| 24
|
| VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic009
| I'll do it.
| Neutral 50
| Find her, bring her back here so we can talk. Needless to say, there's some good money in it for you.
| 25
|
| VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic010
| I better go.
| Neutral 50
| Then go bother someone else. I got shit to do.
| 26
|
| VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic012
| Count me out.
| Neutral 50
| You already agreed to take the job, asshole. There's no backing out now.
| 27
|
| VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic013
| Just thought I'd say hi.
| Anger 50
| <Jean-Baptiste just stares at you.>
| 28
|
| VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic014
| She's dead.
| Neutral 50
| Guess I don't have to worry about talking with her, then. About fucking time. Any longer and I was gonna track you both down.
| 29
|
| She's dead.
| Neutral 50
| Anyway, Glory's been antsy lately because that big deal she's been working on is finally going down.
| 30
|
| Neutral 50
| If this thing goes down, we'll have it made. Fucking {stressed} made, I tell you! Talk to her about it. I'm sure she'll want you along.
| 31
|
| Happy 80
| And don't think I forgot your pay. A job well done is its own reward, but it doesn't pay for pussy at the local brothel, does it?
| 32
|
| VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic015
| I'm working on it.
| Neutral 50
| Well work fucking faster. I don't like thinking there's someone out there that hates me more than I hate them.
| 33
|
VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic016
{ Ask about Pacer }
| I heard your family has a grudge against a King named Pacer.
| Neutral 50
| Yeah, you can blame Glory for that mess. She had some fun with the little prick and it ended badly.
| 34
|
| Neutral 50
| Now he goes around spreading lies about my sister, which pisses me off. One of these days I'm going to piss in his skull, you watch.
| 35
|
| VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic017
| I was thinking of raiding his jet stash.
| Neutral 50
| Ha, he's a jet junkie? He'll go crazy when he finds it gone. I like it.
| 36
|
| Neutral 50
| I'll tell you what. When you hit the stash, leave him this note from me. If the punk really has it bad, he'll come running straight here.
| 37
|
| Neutral 50
| His gang won't be able to say shit if he comes storming this place himself.
| 38
|
| VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic018
| Why don't you just kill him?
| Neutral 50
| We could do that, but then we'd have to kill his four hundred friends too, and that'd just get tiring.
| 39
|
| Neutral 50
| Some day he'll make a mistake, though, and his friends won't be around to back him up, and then he'll be mine.
| 40
|
| VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic019
| What about you?
| Neutral 50
| I'm not one for running a business. Never really had a head for numbers or smooth-talk. My talents are a little more... direct.
| 41
|
| Neutral 50
| Mama always said that was my gift. When we were kids, the others used to fight over and steal one another's toys. I always broke mine.
| 42
|
| Neutral 50
| And if any of the others messed with me, I broke theirs too. Sometimes I'd break them even if they were nice to me, just to show them what's what.
| 43
|
| Neutral 50
| One day mama took me aside and said, "Boy, you're never going to go very far, but you're going to make a whole lotta people come up short." {Jean-Baptiste mimics his mother in the quote here. This is a woman he respects and fears above all others, so this isn't a comical falsetto.}
| 44
|
| VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic020
| Tell me about the Van Graffs.
| Neutral 50
| Our family comes from Redding, to the west. We deal weapons mostly, but trade other commodities, like gold, if there's cash in it.
| 45
|
| Neutral 50
| Our mother's been running the show for longer than most of us have been alive, but she stays at the home office.
| 46
|
| Neutral 50
| We've got branches all over the place, which are run by my brothers and sisters.
| 47
|
| Neutral 50
| Momma's real popular with the menfolk, both for her money and her looks, which is why there's ten of us kids in total, all by different fathers.
| 48
|
| VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic021
| Tell me about your siblings.
| Neutral 50
| We're a wild bunch. There's my sister Frieda, who used to run this branch but took off to pursue "the opportunity of a lifetime", as she put it.
| 49
|
| Neutral 50
| The rest are all long stories, and I don't got the time to tell them.
| 50
|
| VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic022
| I had other questions.
| Neutral 50
| Make it quick. I got shit to do.
| 51
|
| VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic023
| What about Gloria?
| Neutral 50
| Glory? Glory's fucking {heavyily stressed} crazy.
| 52
|
| Neutral 50
| Some of my siblings are real pieces of work, but I'd bet on Glory if she were facing down a deathclaw with a plastic spoon.
| 53
|
| Neutral 50
| She's got the smarts to do whatever she wants, but she and momma are always butting heads, so she gets all the shit jobs.
| 54
|
| VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic025
| How come your last name isn't Van Graff?
| Neutral 50
| Unlike most of my brothers and sisters, Mama didn't get sick of my father and get rid of him. He died right before I was born.
| 55
|
| Neutral 50
| Mama had liked him so much, she made me use his last name. Said he deserved that much at least, since he never got to meet me or nothin'.
| 56
|
| VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic026
| I've changed my mind. I'm not going to do it.
| Neutral 50
| That's just fucking great. I knew you didn't have what it takes from the start, but would Glory listen to me? No.
| 57
|
| Neutral 50
| Still, my sister has plans for you, so I'll cut you a break. You bring the girl here, and I'll take care of the fun part. That's fair, eh?
| 58
|
| VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic027
| I thought you said I didn't have to kill her.
| Neutral 50
| Yeah, if you brought her back here. Is she behind you or something? 'Cause I don't see her.
| 59
|
| Neutral 50
| Now stop stalling, get out there, and do your fucking job already. Sheesh.
| 60
|
| VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic028
| Sounds good, kill her.
| Neutral 50
| {Eager} Waited too long to finish this, last loose end, all wrapped up.
| 61
|
| VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic030
| You shoot, you'll regret it.
| Neutral 50
| {Scoffs} Really. We'll see about that.
| 62
|
| VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic031
| [Terrifying Presence] Raise that gun, and I'll kill everyone in here.
| Neutral 50
| {Pauses, a little uneasy} You know what, I think you mean that. All right... maybe...
| 63
|
| VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic032
| Cass is dead.
| Surprise 50
| Dead? {Beat} What... by you? {Beat, admiring} Yeah, I can tell, you had something to do with it.
| 64
|
| Happy 50
| {Nods, impressed} Gloria was right about you. You take care of business before it's a problem.
| 65
|
| VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic033
| Cass? She's in the Mojave Outpost.
| Neutral 50
| {Chews it over} Really. NCR all around her.
| 66
|
| Neutral 50
| Well, tell you what. You find a {emph} way to bring her here. She'll want to hear what I have to say.
| 67
|
| VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic034
| I doubt Cass will listen to anything I have to say.
| Neutral 50
| {Slight mockery} What? You two on the outs? Ain't that a shame.
| 68
|
| Neutral 50
| Guess you misheard me - I wasn't asking you a question. Find a way to get her here.
| 69
|
| Neutral 50
| If you can't bring her here, then make sure she never leaves the Outpost, and that's {draws it out} fine with me.
| 70
|
| VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic035
| Do you know where she is?
| Neutral 50
| Fuck, no. If I knew where this bitch was, do you think I'd be asking you?
| 71
|
| Neutral 50
| Still, there's someone who might - old Alice McLafferty, Crimson Caravan, might know something.
| 72
|
| Neutral 50
| She keeps tabs on caravan traffic in the Mojave, wouldn't put it past her to keep track of Cassidy Caravans and its owner.
| 73
|
| VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic036
| Is it because the Van Graffs attacked her caravan?
| Neutral 50
| {Frowns} I had nothing to do with that, and neither did anyone here. Now where would you have gotten an idea like that?
| 74
|
| VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic037
| Why don't you do it?
| Neutral 50
| I got business here, need to watch the shop, make sure things are running - smoothly.
| 75
|
| Neutral 50
| {Slight mockery} Besides, if I came for the girl, I'm not all friendly and charming like you are. She might get the wrong idea.
| 76
|
| VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic038
| Anything you can say to her, you can say to me.
| Neutral 50
| {Cold, angry that player is challenging him} You don't want {emph} us chatting, trust me. {Smooths out} As for the girl - I just want to talk to her.
| 77
|
| Neutral 50
| And if you can't bring her here, you're no use to me - or Gloria. So if you want to cause trouble in here over nothing, then go on - try.
| 78
|
| VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic039
| What did you want to talk to her about?
| Neutral 50
| {Irritated} If your answer isn't "yes, I'll bring her here" or "no, I won't, cause Gloria had me pegged wrong," then we're done here.
| 79
|
| VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic042
| These contract papers, for one.
| Neutral 50
| So, looks like we have us a thief. All right, guess I'm talking to you instead of the girl.
| 80
|
| VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic043
| Found out from investigating the wreckage.
| Neutral 50
| And after all the trouble I went through to kill all those witnesses. Guess now I have one more than I thought.
| 81
|
| VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic044
| Nowhere.
| Neutral 50
| Nowhere's a strange place to get an idea like that.
| 82
|
| Neutral 50
| You know what, you're new. Gloria's not going to miss you. And I'm not going to risk you saying the same thing to that bitch I'm hunting for.
| 83
|
| VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic045
| I'm not doing this for you.
| Neutral 50
| {Frowns} Guess Gloria was wrong about you, then. Get out of here, you're no use to me.
| 84
|
| VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic046
| Forget it, I'll bring her here.
| Neutral 50
| Good, getting tired of questions from you when I should be getting answers. Bring her here.
| 85
|
Edit
