| - Good.
- {Dismissive, almost disrespectful / Neutral} At any rate, I'm sure you did the best you could.
- {Condescending / Neutral} Then you'll have to improvise. You seem clever, I'm sure you'll manage.
- {Confident / Confident} I trust we won't be seeing the Brotherhood of Steel again anytime soon.
- {Excited / Friendly} The early results from those new seeds you delivered are remarkable.
- {Annoyed, confrontational... you assume Volkert's guilty} Doctor Volkert, one of my valeriana officinalis specimens is missing. Do you know anything about it?
- {A stern lecture / Stern} It's not enough just to do a job. It must be done well.
- {Snippy, annoyed} Yes, Doctor Holdren, it's taken care of.
- I am simply trying to tell you, in as polite as manner as possible, that I am busy.
- {Stern, lecturing / Stern} Your carelessness has jeopardized months of research.
- {Surprised} Bit of a blunt instrument, aren't you? Kellogg was much the same. Very well then, down to brass tacks.
- {Snippy, annoyed} Thanking a man for doing his duty is like thanking a dog for barking.
- Now I'm afraid I must end this little chat, although it's been so very diverting.
- {Angry, stern / Stern} I told you to be discreet and you blatantly disregarded that directive.
- {Stern, lecturing / Stern} I'm still angry about Warwick Homestead. I see no point in hiding it.
- {Aloof, impatient / Irritated} Well well, if it isn't our visitor from the past.
- {Hurried, impatient / Neutral} That will be all, thank you very much. Goodbye.
- {Neutral} When Roger asks how your trip was, tell him some Bloodbugs chased you halfway across the Commonwealth.
- {A stern lecture / Stern} Being a member of the Institute means holding yourself to a higher standard.
- {Irritated} On second thought, don't answer that. You'll just discourage me.
- {Snippy, annoyed} The compliment is quite unnecessary, Doctor Holdren.
- *Sigh* All of my work is important.
- *Sigh* Honestly, you wouldn't understand them.
- {Irritated} I have little enough faith in people as it is. I'd prefer not to lose any more.
- If an apology will suffice to stem your anger, then I'll offer it.
- {Sympathetic / Neutral} My condolences on the loss of your son, director.
- {Stern / Stern} Is that supposed to excuse your behavior?
- Take this packet of seeds to the Roger Warwick synth.
- Hardly. There is no place for ego in science.
- {Stern / Stern} We monitor our surface operations carefully.
- {Sarcastic, angry / Stern} You're not here to sabotage more of our work, I hope?
- Mm hm. Goodbye.
- My tone?
- Now, goodbye.
- So nice talking to you. Goodbye!
- They're difficult enough without the distractions.
- {Depressed} No doubt Doctor Holdren preferred to boast about the importance of the BioScience division rather than tell you the details of my situation.
- After all, how can we hope to redefine mankind if we can't even hold on to our own humanity?
- Yes, well... I suppose you're right.
- {Angry, stern / Stern} Oh yes, we know all about what happened.
- {Irritated} No, sir, it is no joke. You had better start taking our work more seriously if you intend to have a future here.
- {Stern / Stern} If you think you can sabotage our efforts and get away with it, you're very mistaken.
- I simply require your services to make a delivery to one of our operatives on the surface.
- {Stern, angry / Stern} Now what do you have to say for yourself?
- {Nervous} I... I meant no offense. Just, uh... well, let's move on.
- {Snippy, annoyed} I told you that I would. Well, unsurprisingly, I have.
- {Neutral} That code phrase will identify you as an agent of the Institute.
- {Very annoyed, bordering on angry / Angry} Patience, man! Rushed work is shoddy work, and we do not do shoddy work here.
- {Condescending / Confident} I trust that it won't.
- {Curt, professional / Neutral} Good day, director.
- {Depressed} *Sigh* How unsurprising.
- {Friendly} Splendid, splendid.
- {Haughty, annoyed, how dare you} You had no right!
- {Interested / Neutral} Go on.
- {Neutral} Good enough, I suppose.
- {Angry, stern / Stern} You made a real mess of things at Warwick Homestead.
- {You've been thwarted, but you're still angry and vindictive / Stern} Yes, well... You should know that I'll be reporting this to Father and the rest of the Directorate.
- There's no need to take offense. As you can clearly see, I'm deeply involved in some rather complicated mental equations.
- {Angry, disgusted / Angry} The entire project will have to be suspended indefinitely, at best.
- If that was an attempt at humor, I'm afraid it's lost on me. I'm much too preoccupied with my equations.
- {Stern / Stern} In the meantime, I suggest that you think very carefully about whether you truly belong here.
- {Annoyed, dismissive} I'm sorry, but I'm too preoccupied for chit-chat.
- Now, if you're quite finished, I'd very much like to get back to these mental equations.
- {A stern lecture / Stern} It means efficiency and diligence, attention to detail and an exacting thoroughness.
- {Snarky / Sarcastic} Hopefully you can manage such a simple task.
- {Snobbish, arrogant} Most men lack the patience to observe and document plant growth.
- {Neutral} The fruit it bears will be perfectly healthy and edible. Or so I hope.
- {Don't screw this up / Irritated} Be careful with these! They represent years of genetic manipulation and enhancement.
- {Measured, uncertain} I hope that when the time comes, you'll take your responsibilities as director seriously.
- {You're saying "Good job" in a roundabout way. / Neutral} I'm sure the Facilities division is relieved to have the new reactor online.
- {Begrudging admission / Neutral} I admit it, you've been more of a help to us than I expected.
- Warwick Homestead is on Nut island. Just look for the old waste treatment plant.
- Have you had time to examine my latest reports on batch two-seven-four?
- {Dismissive / Neutral} Now hurry on to Warwick Homestead so we can begin the experiment.
- I wonder how the Warwick family is doing. Young Wally must be close to ten years old by now.
- {Accusing, angry / Angry} Months of my life's work wasted because you couldn't take your job seriously.
- {Angry / Irritated} This is unacceptable. I had plans for that root!
- Now, how about I get back to those and you get back to whatever it is you're doing.
- {Puzzled} A secret decoder ring? What a fascinating suggestion. I'll have to look into that.
- {Exposition / Neutral} Some time ago, we covertly replaced the family patriarch at Warwick Homestead with a synth.
- Er, what? Now just a moment. There's no need to get angry.
- Remember, use discretion! We don't want to blow our synth's cover.
- {Nagging, almost scolding} Please resist any urge you might feel to eat the specimens in the hydroponic garden.
- {Measured, uncertain} I was surprised when Father named you as his successor, but I'm sure he knows what he's doing.
- {Petty, envious} Director Holdren seems very taken with you.
- {Confident / Question} Good, good. I trust everything went smoothly?
- {Annoyed, even petulant} One of the ginger plants is gone. Was this another of your medical emergencies?
- And now, if we're quite finished here, I'll return to them.
- {Irritated} Frankly, I resent Doctor Holdren claiming that I "need help". There's a subtle insinuation there that I don't care for.
- {Excited / Friendly} We're already seeing remarkable results from the new specimen at Warwick.
- {Neutral} He's been field-testing a variety of genetically-modified seeds that I created.
- {Irritated} Don't tell me the simple act of carrying a packet of seeds from point A to point B proved difficult for you, hm?
- {Emphasize "vitally" / Neutral} Now listen closely, because this next part is vitally important.
- {Emphasize "must". Be insistent, urging caution, this is important.} Also, you must be discrete! Do nothing to draw attention to yourself or raise suspicion.
