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
|
