Conversations

Hero	Complete?	Notes	Transcription
Bebop	Yes		Abrams: Hey Bebop, just do me a favor. If I'm punching someone in the face, please don't knock 'em away. Bebop: Do my best, mate, but I make no promises.
			Bebop: Now I'm not trying to cast aspersions detective, but in my experience, organics don't tend to last long in a fight. Abrams: Pal, the only thing you gotta worry about is keeping up.
			Abrams: So what's your deal? Bebop: I punch things. How about you? Abrams: Pretty much the same. Bebop: Oh, this is gonna be fun.
The Doorman	No		The Doorman: Good luck unburdening yourself from the tome, detective. Abrams: The Doorman: The ritual is about to begin, perhaps we can discuss this later.
			Abrams: The Doorman: I wouldn’t dream of getting in front of you.
			Abrams: The Doorman: I appreciate your concerns for my safety, but they are unneeded. I’ll be fine.
Dynamo	Yes		Abrams: You ready for this, Professor? Dynamo: Mr. Abrams, if you think this is the first fight I've been in, you've never played pinochle in Bristol.
			Abrams: Stay close to me Professor, I'll keep you safe. Dynamo: Detective, I was about to say the same thing to you.
			Dynamo: I... don't suppose I could... take a look at that Tome, when all this is over? Abrams: Professor, if things go our way, there won't be a tome for you to look at!
		Unlocked in Geist's visual novel	Dynamo: I heard a rumor that you moved in with Lady Geist. Abrams: Don't wanna talk about it. Dynamo: Who would have thought that a simple business card could have started a star-crossed romance! Abrams: Nothing romantic about it, pal! Dynamo: Not yet! Abrams: Not ever!
		Unlocked in Geist's visual novel	Abrams: Sorry about crashing your party. Dynamo: No apologies needed, it wasn't my party. Did you ever meet up with Lady Geist? Abrams: No. Never called back. Dynamo: Sorry to hear that. Abrams: It's probably for the best. I heard that woman is bad news.
Grey Talon	Yes		Abrams: You know they're gonna have guns, right? Grey Talon: Yep. They're also going to have arrows through their necks. Abrams: Fair enough.
			Grey Talon: You remind me of my stepdaughter. Abrams: Son married an Ixian? Grey Talon: Yeah. Abrams: No shit! Tell you what. We survive this, I'll take the whole family out for a drink. Grey Talon: That... that's a nice thought.
			Abrams: Talon, I know you don't care if you die, but I am highly motivated to stay alive. So please, don't do anything stupid. Grey Talon: Don't worry Abrams. I'm not dying until I have my revenge.
Haze	Yes		Abrams: You like being a Sandman? Haze: I'm good at my job. Abrams: That's not what I asked. Haze: Stay focused on the task at hand.
			Haze: You should consider working for the OSIC. Abrams: I think you guys have enough people who can kick down doors. Haze: We do. We don't have enough guys who care what doors are getting kicked down.
			Abrams: You're not gonna leave me out to dry, are you? Haze: You may not see me, detective. But I promise you, I'm doing my part.
Holliday	Yes		Abrams: You're the sheriff from Macomb, right? Holliday: Yeah. Abrams: I'm so sorry. Holliday: Thank you.
			Holliday: You got a plan? Abrams: Eh, I don't know... I was thinking you grab them and then I punch their skull in! Holliday: I like it!
			Abrams: Holliday... I don't suppose you're related to... Holliday: Yeah. Abrams: Long shadow! Holliday: I try not to think about it. Abrams: Eh, let's make him proud.
Infernus	Yes		Abrams: Hey Fern, next time you're pouring me the good stuff, remember all the times I saved your life today. Infernus: You got it buddy!
			Abrams: So when's the last time you went to Ixia? Infernus: Never. Abrams: You gotta be kidding me! Infernus: New York born and raised baby!
			Infernus: I haven't seen you in a minute, brotha. Abrams: Yeah, case I've been working's been... consuming... Infernus: Are you okay? Abrams: After today... I will be.
Ivy	Yes		Abrams: So, you're the savior of Spanish Harlem, huh? Ivy: I really hate that nickname. Abrams: Heh. Not looking to be deified? Ivy: I just wanted to make my neighborhood safe.
			Abrams: The city owes you a debt for taking care of Mendoza. Ivy: I'm not owed anything. Abrams: Humility is good, but word of advice. Don't undervalue your worth.
			Ivy: So, a private detective is a job where you help people, but charge them money? Abrams: Help is relative. I'm pretty sure a lot of my clients wished I wasn't honest about what I found. Ivy: That's depressing. Abrams: Truth usually is.
Kelvin	Yes		Kelvin: If we work together, victory is assured. Abrams: You're... the most confident dead man I've ever met. Kelvin: My friend, the grave has no time for pessimism.
			Abrams: You, uh... hot in that thing? Kelvin: Revenants don't really sweat. Abrams: Huh. Checks out.
			Abrams: You're worried at the last minute that the Patrons are gonna screw us? Kelvin: Detective, now more than ever we need hope, not skepticism. Abrams: Hope doesn't keep you alive. Kelvin: Trust me, my friend. Sometimes, it's the only thing that does.
Lady Geist	Yes		Lady Geist: And now I have to work alongside a brute. Abrams: I am right here. Lady Geist: Correct. That's why I'm exasperated.
			Abrams: Nice arm. Lady Geist: It's a malevolent spirit. Nice book. Abrams: It's a cursed tome.
			Abrams: You look... remarkably calm for a lady who's about to be shot at. Lady Geist: If I thought we were dealing with anyone competent, maybe I'd be worried. Abrams: So you're... calm because you're delusional? Lady Geist: Confident, detective. I am confident.
		Unlocked in Geist's visual novel	Lady Geist: Thank you for your help, detective. Abrams: We still got a long way to go before we summon the Patron! Lady Geist: Abrams, if there's one thing I am confident in, it's getting what I want.
		Unlocked in Geist's visual novel	Abrams: Remember: When we summon the Patron, we need to be very specific about what we ask for. Lady Geist: Yes, yes, I know. Abrams: No going into business for yourself. Lady Geist: You worry too much, detective.
Lash	Yes		Lash: Alright blue boy, ahhh, let's get to work. Abrams: My name's... Abrams. Lash: Probably not gonna remember that. Abrams: After we win, I'm gonna punch you in the face! Think you'll remember that? Lash: Bluey, when this is over, if you want the Lash to send you to night-night land, you're welcome to try.
			Lash: I'm excited for you Abrams! You get to bathe in the glory of Lash. Abrams: You are somethin' else. Lash: Just remember to say thank you when this is all over.
			Lash: So, what does it feel like? Abrams: Excuse me? Lash: Bein' next to greatness. What does it feel like? Abrams: Nauseating? Lash: No need to be nervous. I am approachable. Abrams: Oh god...
McGinnis	Yes		McGinnis: Just wanna get this out of the way. I'm gonna be doing my best to support you but, shit happens and if you end up on the wrong side of a spectral wall... I'm sorry. Abrams: That was... very specific. McGinnis: It happens a lot. Abrams: Ha, I picked up on that.
			Abrams: How do you not throw out your back carrying all that stuff? McGinnis: It's lighter than it looks. Souls don't weigh a whole lot.
			Abrams: Just to give you a heads up, I plan on picking... a lot of fights today. McGinnis: Good. I hate people.
Mirage	Yes		Mirage: Detective. Is that your rank? Abrams: Mirage: Ah. So you value profit over civic duty. Abrams: Mirage: Maybe you should find a new line of work.
			Mirage: Abrams. That Tome is radiating malice. Abrams: Mirage: Why are you carrying it? Abrams:
			Abrams: Mirage: A few years. Abrams: Mirage: One doesn't send out a CV to work for the Djinn, they... approach you, with an offer. Abrams: Mirage: Some days are safer than others, but... on the whole, no. I am grateful to be of service.
Mo & Krill	Yes		Abrams: So, do we wanna have a plan, or we just walk in there punching the hell out of everyone? Krill: I was thinking the latter but, if you wanna mastermind something, we're all ears! Abrams: Punching's good. Krill: Great.
			Krill: Abrams, I know this isn't exactly the most ideal time to bring it up but, do you remember last week's card game? Abrams: We're about to summon the Patron, and you're worried about 50 bucks? Krill: We owe Wraith money. Abrams: Makes a lot more sense now. I'll square up after the fight.
			Abrams: Didn't expect to be working with you two today. Krill: A delight for us as well! Our enemies will likely be... less enthused. Abrams: Oh, they are going to hate us.
Paradox	Yes		Abrams: I don't like the way you've been looking at the tome. Paradox: Can't a girl be curious? Abrams: I'm warning you Paradox. You touch my property, you won't like what happens next.
			Paradox: We've been following your work, detective. Abrams: Who's we? Paradox: Paradox. Abrams: And why's that? Paradox: We like secrets and you seem to have a knack for finding them. But a word of advice. Some things aren't meant to be revealed. Stop asking questions about us. Abrams: Ugh, I'll keep that in mind. Paradox: Be sure that you do.
			Paradox: You look uneasy, detective. Abrams: Just wondering if we're going to have a problem. Paradox: With the ritual upon us, Paradox has bigger concerns than your nose in our business. So no, you have nothing to fear from me.
Pocket	Yes		Abrams: What's in the case? Pocket: Something dangerous...? Abrams: You in trouble, kid? Pocket: Yeah, but you're not the person who can help me.
			Abrams: Look, about your old man... Pocket: Please don't talk to me like you know me. Abrams: You got it, kid.
			Abrams: It's ok to be scared. Pocket: I'm not. Abrams: You are, and it's okay.
Seven	Yes		Seven: Detective Abrams? Abrams: I don't believe we've met. Seven: Oh, we haven't. But I am fascinated by what you hold. Abrams: If you think I'm letting you get your hand on my- Seven: Oh, don't worry, Detective. I know better.
			Seven: That tome is pulling you into deep waters, detective. Be careful. Abrams: Ehh... Don't know if I need life advice from somebody who was caught and executed. Seven: Yet, here I stand. Perhaps you should consider that I know what I'm talking about.
			Abrams: What did you do to end up in Lost Whisper? Seven: I offended small-minded simpletons with fragile egos. Abrams: You don't try to obliterate someone's soul just because they offended you. Seven: [Laughter] Your naivete is refreshing, detective.
Shiv	Yes		Abrams: How long have you been with the Baxter Society? Shiv: Not long, a few years. Abrams: Didn't think they let guys like you in. Shiv: Wasn’t easy. Who knows, in a few more years they might actually start to respect me.
			Abrams: And how long did it take you to do your hair? Shiv: Please, I wake up looking this pretty.
			Shiv: I’ll make ‘em bleed, you finish ‘em off. Abrams: Works for me.
Vindicta	Yes		Abrams: You need me to buy you a pair of shoes? Vindicta: No. Abrams: You wanna walk in Times Square barefoot, be my guest!
			Abrams: I'm trusting you to help keep me alive. Vindicta: Don't worry detective, I'll do my part.
			Abrams: How long you've been in New York? Vindicta: Since the first Maelstrom. Abrams: That had to be an adjustment. Vindicta: It was wonderful and horrifying in equal measure.
Viscous	No		Viscous: You're blue! Viscous: I didn't mean to offend you. I'm just socially awkward!
			Viscous: I punch people with goo! Viscous: We're family now.
			Viscous: You're a detective, right? Viscous: I love mysteries. Viscous: Who is the Adversary and why are they massacring the denizens of the Deep? Viscous: I can't read!
Vyper	No		Vyper: Who lets anyone out of jail? Vyper: We're gonna have a blast, Abe, don't sweat it.
			Vyper: You're looking good, detective! Vyper: You suck.
			Vyper: Abe, you wanna meet up for a drink after this? Vyper: Am I buying- No! I'm not buy- I'm a lady, have some manners!
Wraith	No		Wraith: Missed you at the game. Wraith: Just sell the damn book already. Wraith: Yeah yeah, wrong hands, blah blah - Abe, you're not the chosen one. You're just a guy who was dealt a bad hand. Dump the book and get your life back.
			Wraith: Wanna make any side bets? Wraith: Today's the best day for gambling. You really think if this goes sideways we're walking out of here alive? Wraith: Let's go.
			Wraith: Obviously. Wraith: No, I'm thinking smart. When it comes to making wishes, you keep that shit as simple as possible to avoid loopholes.
Yamato	No		Yamato: かああこいつ話しかけて。(Oh, please talk to me.)
			Yamato: You owe me detective. Yamato: I haven't cut you down where you stand.
			Yamato: くるそれしか知らないん。(That's all I know.) Yamato: Nice try.
