Nathaniel "Fixer" Salvatore

What's hips but a second-hand emotion...

...it doesn't actually look like a salami, does it...?

I survived the worst thing a man could see and yet I am still here.

Is that enough?

Indie Sole Survivor from Fallout 4 and after.
Brotherhood of Steel Ending and Alignment.

[Downs half a beer and stares right back]

Very hip, very cool. [Neither does he. Fond sigh.]

That's definitely the only place you heard it.

Right, honey?

I mean, I could go for a good sandwich.

Not in my medical opinion.

Cover your ears, kid.

You ain't bothered me a day in your life.

[He leans back against her, just a little. He's still remembering how to let someone be at his back like that and release the tension that built after centuries in the apocalypse.]

[Especially] not these days.

Still ain't allowed to lay eggs in this bitch of a wasteland.

honey help i am under staddus affecks

WHEN ARE YOU GONNA SAY SOMETHIN' I AIN'T HEARD BEFORE??

Oh no oh man parts are fallin' off me. That's fuckin' new!!!!!!

Still ain't allowed to lay eggs in this bitch of a wasteland.

[He almost drops his welding torch, eyes wide at his near-failure to shut it off.

Okay. Okay, nothing on fire, all his fingers are still on. Deep breath.]

If you are, I think my ass might have fallen off, cause I don't feel a strap.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT A SYNTH INFILTRATOR WOULD SAY.

WHATEVER YA SAY, MCDONOUGH, JR.

OH WOW SOMEONE TARGETING A GHOUL, HOW FUCKIN' ORIGINAL.

God forbid I have a single goddamn aspiration.

Wait, what the fuck did I do now?

I'm just gonna pull my old standby costume outta the closet.

Ah, yes, the most common invention: drugs.

This ain't about my robots, my robots work great.

They should invent memories that work.

WELL, WOULD YOU ALL LOOK AT THE TIME, ME AND THE MISSUS BETTER BE HITTIN' THE HAY.

How the fuck do you forg-

[No, no. He made a promise. He will try to keep it for at least ten minutes.]

Never mind. We'll go to my workshop.

...I'm still gonna give you shit, but I'm not serious. You think 'business partners' is friendly, though?

It's a good way to get shot in the ass. Don't ask me how I know.

'Attaboy. C'mon, I keep my bag on me, let's get somewhere warm and I'll take a look.

'Business partners' is a crazy way to say 'I hired you for like a day.' The bot didn't get you too bad, did it? Still standin'.
