- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Courier: "Why would I have brought it here?"
Ulysses: "I've walked the East. You've walked the West, more than I have. Circle Junction. Reno. Vault City. Word of you at Fort Aradesh... Fort Abandon. Even further West than that, Brahmin drives on the Big Circle. Whatever you saw out there, wasn't enough to make you stay. Maybe the markings on the package reminded you of the road home." (Ulysses' dialogue)
- ↑ Ulysses: "You may not know my voice, but we've walked the same places. The Long 15 to Primm... that wasn't the only road you ever walked."
(Ulysses' dialogue)
- ↑ Joshua Graham: "Something bad happened near Death Valley, at a place called the Divide. NCR couldn't cut across anymore and it slowed down their reinforcements. Terrible storms ripped entire companies apart before they even got to Nevada soil. The aftermath of Hoover Dam could have been even worse for Caesar."
(Joshua Graham's dialogue)
- ↑ Courier: "You said I brought it from the West?"
Ulysses: "It was a device, a detonator. One I'd never seen before - or heard before. You carried that thing to the Divide. I know because I followed you as you walked the road, watched you do it. You brought it here, to the community you built. And you are responsible for what happened after - when the device opened, started to speak. When it did, the Divide answered back. Those missiles you've seen, buried in their silos. They exploded beneath the ground, cracked the landscape. Sand, ash... the dead... the Divide skies became a graveyard." (Ulysses' dialogue)
- ↑ Robert House: "You signed a contract to deliver the Platinum Chip, and you'll be paid when the delivery is made."
(Mr. House's dialogue)
- ↑ Courier: "What was strange about it?"
Johnson Nash: "That cowboy robot had us hire six couriers. Each was carrying something a little different. A pair of dice, a chess piece, that kind of stuff. Last word I had from the office, it looked like payment had been received for the other five jobs. Guess it was just your chip that didn't make it." (Johnson Nash's dialogue)
- ↑ Courier: "If the Chip's so valuable, why use a single courier to transport it?"
Robert House: "You realize you were just one of many couriers, the rest of them dummies, so to speak?" (Mr. House's dialogue)
- ↑ Doc Mitchell: "I just don't get it. A stiff breeze'd tear you in two but a couple of bullets and you're right as rain."
(Doc Mitchell's dialogue)
- ↑ Courier: "Where you see death, I see change - and I see it as a strength."
Lanius: "Hnh. My coming would have saved you, set your people free in ways they cannot see. War would have tested them. Broken the weak with its violence, yet allowing the strong to arise. Violence gave you that strength, awakened you - I can see it upon your face, where two bullets left their mark." (Lanius' dialogue)
- ↑ Courier: "Do your thinking about me."
The Forecaster: "Your face does the thinking - two to the skull, yet one gets up. Odds are against you... but they're just numbers after the two-to-one." (The Forecaster's dialogue)
- ↑ Courier: "What was your relationship with Benny... back when he was breathing?"
Robert House: "Benny was the leader of the Chairmen for seven years, ever since I recruited the tribe. I considered him something of a protege." (Mr. House's dialogue)
- ↑ Courier: "Why didn't you intervene sooner when Benny ambushed me?"
Robert House: "Why didn't Victor intervene sooner, you mean? Goodsprings is a bit too far away for me to reliably control a Securitron agent by remote. I can send and receive packets of data, at best. Victor's combat algorithms determined the proper course of action. Benny and his thugs were more than a match for a lone Securitron. When he alerted me, I instructed him to approach the site after Benny and the others had departed." (Mr. House's dialogue)
- ↑ Doc Mitchell: "Whoa, easy there. Easy. You been out cold a couple of days now."
(Doc Mitchell's dialogue)
- ↑ Doc Mitchell: "Now, I hope you don't mind, but I had to go rooting around there in your noggin to pull all the bits of lead out."
(Doc Mitchell's dialogue)
- ↑ Courier: "Aren't you that singer from New Reno? I think I saw you play the clubs there."
Bruce Isaac: "Oh, so you have heard of me. Yeah, that's right. I was the big draw at the Shark Club, people used to pay hundreds of caps to see me." (Bruce Isaac's dialogue)
- ↑ Courier: "I've been known to hunt a few bounties, myself."
Little Buster: "Well hey, the field's wide open, now that I'm gone. Probably lots of people looking to get in, once they hear I quit." (Little Buster's dialogue)
- ↑ Courier: "Why were you following me?"
Malcolm Holmes: "It started off innocently enough. I was travelling, as I often do, and happened to observe you picking up one of those blue-star caps. You didn't show any reaction to it, so I figured you didn't know what you'd gotten your hands on." (Malcolm Holmes' dialogue)
- ↑ Courier: "I know who they are but I don't care about their agenda."
Veronica Santangelo: "Yeah, it's pretty far out, right? Fixating on old technology just doesn't seem very relevant to most people's lives." (Veronica Santangelo's dialogue)
- ↑ Courier: "No, wait, I want to hear this. You were bald before?"
Christine: "[She nods with an exasperated look, then makes a circle with her hands, repeats it twice more, then raises her hands and waves them like wings.] [She puts both hands in front of her, then makes a motion with her hands as if writing something.]" Courier: "[Intelligence 7] Wait... that's a Brotherhood of Steel symbol, right? You're a Scribe?" Christine: "[SUCCEEDED] [She nods, looks impressed.]" (Christine's dialogue)
- ↑ Courier: "They're usually harmless unless you use advanced technology around them."
Veronica Santangelo: "Well that shouldn't be a problem for me. I can't afford anything like that." (Veronica Santangelo's dialogue)
- ↑ Courier: "They're enemies of the NCR. If you know where they are you should turn them in."
Veronica Santangelo: "Oh my gosh, really? Well, I didn't see where they went, but I'll keep an eye out. Wow, I had no idea they were so dangerous. Thanks for letting me know. Glad I didn't do any business with them." (Veronica Santangelo's dialogue)
- ↑ Veronica Santangelo: "No offense, but you look like you've traveled a long way down some bad roads. Where'd you come from?"
Courier: "I'm not entirely sure." Veronica Santangelo: "Yeah, guess the roads must've been long, then, if you forgot where you started from." (Veronica Santangelo's dialogue)
- ↑ Courier: "What the hell is a fish?"
Rose of Sharon Cassidy: "It's this... slimy, scaled thing, like a Lakelurk, except no legs. Well, most times. They're like birds, except they stay underwater. Anyway, I've seen pictures. One guy even had one above his bar in Redding, except it was made of Pre-War plastic. Used to say it could sing, but I figured he was on a Jet rush." (Rose of Sharon Cassidy's dialogue)
- ↑ Courier: "[Intelligence] I'm familiar. Do *you* know what a fish is?"
Rose of Sharon Cassidy: "Well... of course I do." (Rose of Sharon Cassidy's dialogue)
- ↑ Courier: "What's FEV?"
Father Elijah: "A long story. FEV... a virus with an even longer story... it gave birth to the docile one, turned him into a super mutant long ago." (Father Elijah's dialogue)
- ↑ Courier: "I've never heard of the place you're talking about."
Elijah: "Big Empty's a treasure box, a scientific graveyard of Old World misery. Like the Sierra Madre... there's treasures there, sleeping. Some, awake. The Holorifle, the Saturnite alloy... the hologram technology, hibernation chambers, Securitrons, the collars... ...even the suits attached to those things stalking the Villa... that's only the surface of what's there. Right now, the Sierra Madre is what I want." (Elijah's dialogue)
- ↑ Courier: "I haven't been through Utah recently - what's the situation like?"
Jed Masterson: "Well, it ain't good, I'll tell you that. It's not like the Mojave or the NCR - hell, even Arizona under Caesar is safer. You got raiders all over the damn place, tribes of degenerates that'll eat you as soon as look at you, regional warlords... the works. Not too many decent places to stop and trade. New Canaan's one of the only ones left I know about." (Jed Masterson's dialogue)
- ↑ Courier: "Am I... looking for Joshua? Yes, I am. Can you tell me where he is?"
Dead Horse stalker: "You know our tongue - smart owslandr. Joshua in high place of cave. You show respect, utman! Joshua is greatest warrior. You show him no respect, he show you thunder and fire!" (Dead Horse stalker's dialogue)
- ↑ Courier: "Pray? God? What are you talking about?"
Joshua Graham: "I am a New Canaanite. We believe we are the heirs of a spiritual tradition given to our ancestors thousands of years ago." (Joshua Graham's dialogue)
- ↑ Courier: "But there must have been other signs of a larger world."
Doctor Mobius: "There have been other visitors to make them doubt their perceptions, but you are the one who dialed back their monitor-micro-magnifiers. You were irrefutable proof that there was a world outside. And then there was the whole 'brain' fiasco, which forced me to take steps. See, your brain had a special kind of... uh... wrinkle, a unique-ity that they had never thought to try in all their countless escape attempts." Courier: "The bullet that went into my brain? Doc Mitchell tried to patch me up, but..." Doctor Mobius: "[SUCCEEDED] Yes. Very good. I should have Mentats ingest you instead of the other way around. Mmm. Mentats." (Doctor Mobius' dialogue)
- ↑ Descriptions of the perks Big Brained, Cardiac Arrest, and Reinforced Spine.
- ↑ The Courier: "Your Pip-Boy isn't working. The screen's locked up, and the reboot button is missing."
Ricky: "[SUCCEEDED] Bullshit! Ain't nothing wrong with my Pit-Boy! I mean Pip-Boy! Look, this is a sweet gig for me! Don't go fucking it up! What are you after, anyways?" (Ricky's dialogue)
- ↑ Courier: "Wait, after listening a bit - that's RobCo termlink protocol you're broadcasting, right?"
[SUCCEEDED] @@[#-????-#]@@! @@[*.......]@@... @@[$((*&^#%]@@. (Doctor 8's dialogue)
- ↑ Courier: "Yes, ED-E, I'm sure RALPHIE the Robot would be very proud of you."
ED-E (Lonesome Road): "<Ecstatic beeping>" (ED-E (Lonesome Road)'s dialogue)
- ↑ X-8 research center ending
- ↑ Courier: "Illinois? So that's where you got that plate. The other you, I mean."
ED-E (Lonesome Road): "<Happy beeping>" (ED-E (Lonesome Road)'s dialogue)

ED-E (Lonesome Road): "<Happy beeping>" (ED-E (Lonesome Road)'s dialogue)
- ↑ Courier: "What's a Chicago?"
ED-E (Lonesome Road): "<Expository beeping>" (ED-E (Lonesome Road)'s dialogue)
- ↑ Courier: "[Intelligence 6] I thought snipers worked in teams."
Boone: "Hnh. Yeah. Working on your own, you're a lot less effective. I've been there and paid for it. But this isn't gonna end well." (Boone's dialogue)
- ↑ Courier: "Wait, Montana? You wouldn't happen to be 17, would you?"
The Lonesome Drifter: "No sir, I'm 28. Why?" (Lonesome Drifter's dialogue)
- ↑ Courier: "You don't sound too enthusiastic about it."
Arcade Gannon: "I'm enthusiastic about helping people, but nihil novi sub sole." Courier: "Nihi-what?" Arcade Gannon: "Oh. Sorry. "There is nothing new under the sun." If agave and mesquite were that miraculous, the locals would have figured it out a few thousand years ago." (Arcade's dialogue)
- ↑ Courier: "[Intelligence 7] 'Ulysses.' Not the myth. You're honoring history, not stories."
Ulysses: "[SUCCEEDED] History. Yes. Ulysses walked a hard road. A general, like Caesar and Oliver. He was Brahmin-stubborn, gave him strength on the battlefield. He led his side to victory, turned two flags into one. That's when he lost - when the fighting was done, the sickness took hold. Lesson there, if history's to be believed. One you should heed." (Ulysses' dialogue)
- ↑ Courier: "Where'd you get that Vaquero outfit?"
Raul Tejada: "I found it in a costume shop. It was sort of my calling card, you know? "Raul the Ghoul, the zombie vaquero of Mexico City."" (Raul Tejada's dialogue)
- ↑ Thanks, baby
- ↑ Courier: "Hegelian Dialectics? What are those?"
Caesar: "How do I put this basically enough? It's a philosophical theory, the kind you might encounter if you took time to read some books. The fundamental premise is to envision history as a sequence of 'dialectical' conflicts. Each dialectic begins with a proposition, a thesis... ...which inherently contains, or creates, its opposite - an antithesis. Thesis and antithesis. The conflict is inevitable. But the resolution of the conflict yields something new - a synthesis - eliminating the flaws in each, leaving behind common elements and ideas." (Caesar's dialogue)
- ↑ Courier: "Sometimes I feel the same way. Why do you think I became a courier?"
ED-E (Lonesome Road): "<Melancholy beeping>" (ED-E (Lonesome Road)'s dialogue)
- ↑ Courier: "I've run some cons in my day - one clever bastard to another, what's your trick?"
Keith: "[SUCCEEDED] You know how they say you make your own luck? Let's just say I make mine with a little extra ink on the cards." (Keith's dialogue)
- ↑ 743.00Hz ULF radio signal: "What the hell is 21 doing now... hnh."
- ↑ 743.00Hz ULF radio signal: "Good thing the new recruit had a Pip-Boy, too, probably stole it from a Vault 21 dweller. Still, a thief's just what I need for this."
