1DialogueInstituteEnricoFirstGreetingScene{Nervous, a little exasperated} It's a real juggling act, trying to keep all the systems down here operating in the green.EnricoThompson: This place might look shiny and new, but there's a lot of old technology in these walls.A
2NPCMEnricoThompson: It's a real juggling act, trying to keep all the systems down here operating in the green.This place might look shiny and new, but there's a lot of old technology in these walls.A1a
3I lose sleep worrying about when the next blackout's going to hit.Player Default: Looks like everything's running great. I'd say your doing your job.A1b
4Player Default: Looks like everything's running great. I'd say your doing your job.Hey, thanks. It's nice to be appreciated. Most people just take my work for granted.A1a
5It's the kind of work that only gets noticed when something goes wrong, if you know what I mean.EnricoThompson: There's some stuff I need to check on. See you around, yeah?A1b
6Player Default: Look, I don't want to get trapped down here because the power goes out.What, you think I do?B1a
7If it's any comfort to you, I take my job very seriously for exactly that reason.EnricoThompson: There's some stuff I need to check on. See you around, yeah?B1b
8Player Default: So basically, this place is a sham. Great.I wouldn't say that. I mean, even the older tech has held up for decades, some even for centuries.X1a
9It's pretty amazing, when you think about it. Our ancestors built things to last.X1b
10Of course, that was before they blew everything up in the war.EnricoThompson: There's some stuff I need to check on. See you around, yeah?X1c
11Player Default: How old are we talking about?Well, the reactor and a lot of the related systems - you know, cooling, monitoring, power distribution - that's all pre-war tech.Y1a
12Most of the superstructure down here was built later, by the people who survived the war.Y1b
13I guess each generation's been tinkering with the place, adding labs, making upgrades and so on.EnricoThompson: There's some stuff I need to check on. See you around, yeah?Y1c
14Player Default: It's the kind of work that only gets noticed when something goes wrong, if you know what I mean.There's some stuff I need to check on. See you around, yeah?A1a
15-{Wondering why the player has stopped talking.} You feeling alright?
16{Sincere relief, gratitude} It's a good thing Doctor Li was able to refurbish that old reactor.
17{Exasperated / Tired} I fix one relay, and two more start to fail. At least I'm not bored.
18{Proud, happy / Friendly} Best part of my day is coming home to my girls.
19{Proud, happy / Friendly} I love my work, but I love being a father even more.
20{Wary, a little concerned. / Somber} Power demand jumped another five percent this year.

21DialogueInstituteThompsonHomeScene2JanetThompson: No I know, but I can't stop thinking about him. He's supposed to be an exact replica of a child but that's all he'll ever be. It feels wrong.{Confused / Puzzled} I don't understand what the issue is. He is as real as any child I've ever seen.JanetThompson: That! We gave him every capability of a real child, except a future. He'll never age, he'll never be allowed to grow up or have a family of his own.A1a
22JanetThompson: That! We gave him every capability of a real child, except a future. He'll never age, he'll never be allowed to grow up or have a family of his own.{Trying to sympathize / Apologetic} So you're worried about what will happen to him?JanetThompson: He'll be a child forever...Sometimes I feel we have no right to do the things we do, just because we can is not a reason. I think we made a mistake.A1a
23JanetThompson: He'll be a child forever...Sometimes I feel we have no right to do the things we do, just because we can is not a reason. I think we made a mistake.{Concerned, a little frightened / Concerned} Janet, don't say things like that. Someone might not understand, and take it the wrong way.A1a
24{Concerned / Concerned} What's wrong? You look upset.JanetThompson: Nothing... I saw the synth Shaun today. There's something about him that just makes me sad.A1a
25JanetThompson: Nothing... I saw the synth Shaun today. There's something about him that just makes me sad.{Comforting / Friendly} Why? He's not perfect, but he's a remarkable step forward for the program. You all did an amazing job.JanetThompson: No I know, but I can't stop thinking about him. He's supposed to be an exact replica of a child but that's all he'll ever be. It feels wrong.A1a
26DialogueInstituteThompsonHomeScene3AliceThompson: Oh, come on. It's just a story.{Tired / Tired} Girls, enough, Daddy spent all day fixing a generator, and isn't doing stories tonight. Maybe tomorrow.JuliaThompson: Awww.A1a

36InstituteSS1Scene{Talking to a robot work crew, laying out rules} Remember to keep unnecessary power consumption to a minimum. Don't recharge unless your primary levels are below two percent.Enrico: Also, if you haven't patched your navigation software, do so after this meeting.A1a
37Enrico: Remember to keep unnecessary power consumption to a minimum. Don't recharge unless your primary levels are below two percent.{Addressing a robot work crew.} Also, if you haven't patched your navigation software, do so after this meeting.Enrico: The last thing we need is more synths bumping into walls.A1a
38Enrico: Also, if you haven't patched your navigation software, do so after this meeting.{Addressing a robot work crew. Slight irritation... referring to an ongoing problem.} The last thing we need is more synths bumping into walls.Enrico: Alright, that's all for now. You can resume your duties.A1a

40MinVsInstStage50EnricoSavagesScenePlayer Default: The Minutemen were only doing what they felt was right.Well from here it looked like they were out for blood. And if you hadn't arrived, I think they might've gotten it.Enrico: Can we just get on with this, please?A1a
41Player Default: Those are good men out there. You have no right to insult them like that.{frustrated, sarcastic} Those "good men" of yours wanted to kill me. Forgive me for not thinking terribly highly of them.Enrico: Can we just get on with this, please?B1a
42Player Default: Those "savages" had you pretty well cornered.{flustered} Did I not mention the part where we didn't expect this? This was supposed to be a simple extraction.Enrico: Can we just get on with this, please?X1a
43Player Default: Weren't you prepared for some amount of resistance?Of course not!Y1a
44It was supposed to be a simple chat with Wallace and an invitation to join us. I didn't know he was this paranoid...Enrico: Can we just get on with this, please?Y1b
45Player Default: Well from here it looked like they were out for blood. And if you hadn't arrived, I think they might've gotten it.Can we just get on with this, please?Enrico: I know he's potentially important to Phase Three and all, but I'm not sure it's worth putting ourselves in harm's way...A1a
46MinVsInstStage50EnricoSceneI can't wait to get out of this suit.Enrico: I was starting to worry we might not make it out of this mess.A
47I really, really hate field work.Enrico: I was starting to worry we might not make it out of this mess.A
48Oh, thank god you're here.Enrico: I was starting to worry we might not make it out of this mess.A
49Player Default: If he's really important to the Institute, then it's worth it.You're right, I suppose.Companion: Just get to the damn information. Who am I shootin'?A1a
50Player Default: Far as I can tell, you were only in "harm's way" because you screwed this up.Look, I had the same intelligence reports as everyone else. No one saw this coming.Companion: Enough yappin'. Just give us the information already.B1a
51Player Default: This does seems like lots of effort for just one man.If things were different, we might not be here. Not now, at least. But with the situation in the Commonwealth being what it is...Companion: Cait interjectsX1a
52Player Default: Why did the Institute send you, specifically?They thought I'd be able to relate to him, with my scientific background.Companion: Cait interjectsY1a
53Player Default: It was bad enough when Wallace reacted so poorly to our arrival, but then Gunners? I was not prepared for that.I know he's potentially important to Phase Three and all, but I'm not sure it's worth putting ourselves in harm's way...Player Default: If he's really important to the Institute, then it's worth it.A1a
54Player Default: You're right, I suppose.I know they've been keeping an eye on him for years. Not sure how they originally found him; probably don't want to know.Enrico: But once they realized how smart he was, and what an asset he could be for Phase Three, they watched pretty closely.A1a
55Enrico: I know they've been keeping an eye on him for years. Not sure how they originally found him; probably don't want to know.But once they realized how smart he was, and what an asset he could be for Phase Three, they watched pretty closely.Enrico: I think they even fed him scientific material from time to time, to see how good he was. You know, testing him. To see if he was Institute material.A1a
56Enrico: But once they realized how smart he was, and what an asset he could be for Phase Three, they watched pretty closely.I think they even fed him scientific material from time to time, to see how good he was. You know, testing him. To see if he was Institute material.Enrico: Let's just get Wallace and get out of here.A1a
57NPCMEnricoThompson: I can't wait to get out of this suit.I was starting to worry we might not make it out of this mess.Player Default: Everything's taken care of. You're safe.A1a
58Player Default: Everything's taken care of. You're safe.Good, good. It was bad enough that Wallace started giving us trouble, but then he called in those... savages.Player Default: The Minutemen were only doing what they felt was right.A1a
59Player Default: Everything's taken care of. You're safe.It was bad enough when Wallace reacted so poorly to our arrival, but then Gunners? I was not prepared for that.Enrico: I know he's potentially important to Phase Three and all, but I'm not sure it's worth putting ourselves in harm's way...A2a
60Player Default: It wouldn't have been such a mess if you'd handled it differently.I never claimed to be suited for field work, and I explicitly stated that when given this assignment!B1a
61Besides, it's not my fault that Wallace called in those... savages.Player Default: The Minutemen were only doing what they felt was right.B1b
62Player Default: It wouldn't have been such a mess if you'd handled it differently.I never claimed to be suited for field work, and I explicitly stated that when given this assignment!B2a
63Mercenaries. You believe that? There was no intelligence to suggest he was that paranoid...Enrico: I know he's potentially important to Phase Three and all, but I'm not sure it's worth putting ourselves in harm's way...B2b
64Player Default: Let's focus on getting back.I couldn't agree more.Enrico: I know he's potentially important to Phase Three and all, but I'm not sure it's worth putting ourselves in harm's way...X1a
65Player Default: How exactly did this happen?{frustrated} I'm not suited for field work. I've said that over and over... and they sent me anyway.Y1a
66There was no indication that Wallace had been in contact with anyone, or was aware that we might be watching him.Y1b
67{frustrated} If I'd known, I'd... I don't know, maybe I'd have tried to handle things differently.Enrico: I know he's potentially important to Phase Three and all, but I'm not sure it's worth putting ourselves in harm's way...Y1c
68Enrico: I think they even fed him scientific material from time to time, to see how good he was. You know, testing him. To see if he was Institute material.Let's just get Wallace and get out of here.Player Default: No argument from me. Let's go.A1a
69Player Default: No argument from me. Let's go.{slightly embarrassed} Right...Enrico: There's just... well, there's a slight problem with that. He doesn't want to go with us.A1a
70Player Default: What do you mean, "get Wallace." You don't have him already?{slightly embarrassed} I know...Enrico: There's just... well, there's a slight problem with that. He doesn't want to go with us.B1a

72Player Default: What does this Wallace guy have to do with Phase Three?Wallace is... well, brilliant by all accounts. Like nothing we'd seen in the Commonwealth prior.Y1a
73He truly has a gift when it comes to theoretical physics. He'd be an asset to the Institute, specifically in getting the reactor running.Y1b
74With his help, we could accelerate the timetable immensely.Enrico: There's just... well, there's a slight problem with that. He doesn't want to go with us.Y1c
75Player Default: Right...There's just... well, there's a slight problem with that. He doesn't want to go with us.Enrico: I was thinking... Maybe you could try and talk to him.A1a
76MinVsInstStage50EnricoWallaceSceneI was thinking... Maybe you could try and talk to him.Player Default: No problem. I'm sure I can get him to see reason.A1a
77Player Default: No problem. I'm sure I can get him to see reason.I hope so. We really need him.A1a
78Player Default: I guess I'll have to, since you're useless.I think that's a little unfair.B1a
79Player Default: Talk is cheap. Maybe it's time to kick in the door.No, no! We need this man on our side. He needs to see that we'll help him as much as he'll help us!X1a
80Just don't antagonize him, and you should be fine.X1b
81Player Default: Any advice on how to talk to him?Don't make him angry. Let him know we're not going to hurt him... In fact, his life would improve considerably.Y1a
82MinVsInstStage60EnricoFinalSceneOkay, I think we've got this under control now.Enrico: Thanks... I mean, thanks for the assist.A1a

85Player Default: Oh screw you. There are plenty of things I'd rather have done than come fix your mess.Wow... Okay, message received.Enrico: I'll see you back in the Institute.B1a
86Player Default: I'm here for the Institute, not for you.Right, right. Okay. I gotcha.Enrico: I'll see you back in the Institute.X1a
87Player Default: You're going to bring him in immediately, right?Oh, yeah. Don't want him to start second-guessing the decision.Enrico: I'll see you back in the Institute.Y1a
88Player Default: I really mean it, I owe you one.I'll see you back in the Institute.A1a
89MinVsInstStage60WallaceCalmScenePlayer Default: My help? With... with what?The Institute has an engineering problem that your scientific expertise could help solve.Enrico: In exchange for helping us out, you'd be granted access to the most advanced research facility imaginable.A1a
90Enrico: The Institute has an engineering problem that your scientific expertise could help solve.In exchange for helping us out, you'd be granted access to the most advanced research facility imaginable.Enrico: Whatever research you wanted to perform... anything... it's possible there. I promise.A1a
91Enrico: In exchange for helping us out, you'd be granted access to the most advanced research facility imaginable.Whatever research you wanted to perform... anything... it's possible there. I promise.Enrico: You'd be safe and secure in a way that's completely impossible anywhere else.A1a
92Enrico: Whatever research you wanted to perform... anything... it's possible there. I promise.You'd be safe and secure in a way that's completely impossible anywhere else.Player Default: You'd be helping us create a better world.A1a
93MinVsInstStage60WallaceFailSceneOkay, look. We're out of time here.Enrico: Institute, this is Dr. Thompson. I'm sorry; I'm going to need a synth relayed to my coordinates offset by 5.3 to subdue our subject.A1a
94Enrico: Okay, look. We're out of time here.Institute, this is Dr. Thompson. I'm sorry; I'm going to need a synth relayed to my coordinates offset by 5.3 to subdue our subject.DoorTalkingActivator: Ahh, what are you doing?!A1a
