Notable quotes
- "Welcome to the 188 Slop & Shop. Like our slogan says, "It's better than nothing.""
- "When 15 shut down, 95 became the route NCR citizens use to get to the Strip - or limp back home, after the Strip's drained 'em of caps. We get 'em coming and going. Coming, the suckers flush with caps they saved to gamble on the Strip... and going, the same folks, but now they're losers who'll trade you the shirt off their backs so they don't starve before they make it back home. Add in the troopers marching back and forth from McCarran and the Dam, and well, let's just say we don't miss Primm."
- "Guess that makes you a big hero - in Primm. Like I said, me and Michelle didn't sit around waiting to be saved."
