Notable quotes[]
- "I like to think that I've still got some big achievements left in me, although some of my joints seem to disagree these days."
- "I am Proctor of the Order of the Shield. I oversee the others in my Order, and make sure our defenses are up to snuff. Do you know how long it took to fortify these ruins? From the husk of the Pentagon I carved a grand Citadel! No easy task, my friend! Ah, but that was yesterday, when all we had to worry about was those damn Super Mutants. The Enclave, now... That's a different problem altogether..."
- "That's the thing, really. Casdin's "technology first" sort of attitude is more traditional in the Brotherhood always used to operate, out West. But somewhere along the way from there to here, Elder Lyons made sure we watched out for the people, not just the technology. To some of us, that was noble. I guess to Casdin and his crew, it was just soft. I wish they could see some sort of middle ground."

(Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition Wasteland Census) - ↑ The Lone Wanderer: "So... Any thoughts on the Enclave?"
Bowditch: "They're sporting some pretty impressive Power Armor, I'll give them that. The Advanced Mark II. But that's all right. With a few modifications, our own armor will more than handle anything they throw at it."
(Bowditch's dialogue) - ↑ The Lone Wanderer: "What have been the highlights of your time with the Brotherhood?"
Bowditch: "I like to think that I've still got some big achievements left in me, although some of my joints seem to disagree these days. I'll tell you what the low-lights of my time have been though: every time I've been shot at. I'm a scribe, not a soldier!"
(Bowditch's dialogue) - ↑ The Lone Wanderer: "Can you tell me more about the Brotherhood of Steel?"
Bowditch: "Oh yes, I can. In fact, I suspect I could write several texts on the various details of the Brotherhood. But I suspect you're in a hurry, so what particulars would you like to know?"
(Bowditch's dialogue) - ↑ The Lone Wanderer: "Outcasts? Who are they?"
Artemis: "I'd really don't want to go into it. Go bug Scribe Bowditch. He could talk a dog off a meat truck."
(Artemis' dialogue) - ↑ The Lone Wanderer: "Could you repair my equipment?"
Bowditch: "I suppose that I can. The Brotherhood can make use of Wasteland currency to trade."
