Conversations

Hero	Complete?	Audio
Abrams	No	Abrams: Apollo: You know my father? Abrams: Apollo: We win today, and you will. Abrams: Apollo: With the two of us working together, we only lose if the sun implodes. Abrams: Apollo: Winners usually are.
		Abrams: Apollo: It's not Ixia, but it's tolerable. Abrams: Apollo: I'm here because my father asked me to be, not because I want to... But, only a fool doesn't make the most out of every opportunity.
		Apollo: I'm grateful not to be paired up with a human. Abrams: Apollo: No, they're not. But they're not us either. Never forget that. Abrams: Apollo: If we were in Ixia, you wouldn't dare talk to me like that.
		Apollo: Sirosi galah, Abrams. (Ixian) Abrams: Apollo: Karwoun kassil. (Ixian) Abrams: Apollo: Itani rah. (Ixian)
Bebop	No	Bebop: Apollo: I do. Bebop: Apollo: Sounds like a plan.
		Apollo: How do you think I'd fare in the Bear Pit? Bebop: Apollo: That's right. Bebop: Apollo: Excuse me?!
		Bebop: Apollo: Don't worry about me, Bebop. I'll be fine.
Billy	No	Billy: Apollo: Basically.
		Billy: Apollo: In Ixia, leaders are expected to lead, not delegate.
		Billy: Apollo: That's kind of you to say, Billy.
Calico	No	Apollo: I like your cat. Calico:
		Apollo: Why did you leave the Baxter Society? Calico: Apollo: Father says loyalty is everything.
		Calico: Apollo: As a general rule, he doesn't break bread with assassins. Calico: Apollo: Why would I put him at risk? Calico: Apollo: Until someone hires you to kill him.
Celeste	No	Celeste: Apollo: I'm focused. Celeste: Apollo: I don't need advice from someone who glues a horn on their head. Celeste: Apollo: That's what I know you do.
	Yes	Celeste: You're not like the other Blackmore Kids. Apollo: Of course I'm not. I'm better than them. Celeste: Nevermind. You're just like the other Blackmore kids.
		Celeste: I've never seen an 18-year-old look so serious. Apollo: Most 18-year-olds aren't about to summon an Elder God. Celeste: That's fair, but I bet you'd look the same if you were at the circus. Apollo: I'd never waste my time going to the circus. Celeste: You're missing out on life. Apollo: No. I'm setting myself up to enjoy it.
The Doorman	No	The Doorman: Apollo: He is. I'll be sure to give him your well-wishes.
		The Doorman: Apollo: Only in decorum.
		Apollo: How do you manage to treat people with respect when they look at you with contempt? The Doorman: Apollo: Are you comparing yourself to royalty?
Dynamo	No	Dynamo: Apollo: It's a good school. The teachers are competent and the student body well connected. Dynamo: Apollo: Prom doesn't further my goals. Dynamo: Apollo: I have my whole life to make memories, but my prime is right now and I can't waste it.
		Apollo: I've heard you're a good teacher. Dynamo: Apollo: Do you have any advice? Dynamo: Apollo: Most teenagers are morons. I value experience.
		Dynamo: Apollo: Not very sporting!
Graves	Yes	Graves: You gonna go make daddy proud? Apollo: My father's already proud of me. I don't need to pull stunts so he knows I exist. Graves: Don't talk to me like you know me. Apollo: How about you give me the same respect?!
		Apollo: You weren't in class yesterday. Graves: You noticed? Apollo: I notice everything. Were you sick? Graves: Do you care? Apollo: Of course I care! It's hard for you fight if you have a high fever or food poisoning or whatever. Graves: I was skipping class, I'm fine. Apollo: "Oh, I'm fine! Just undisciplined and negligent!" Graves: You're such a prick.
		Graves: Your dad's a warlord, right? Apollo: Kind of, yeah. Graves: How is someone "kind of" a warlord? Apollo: It's a cultural thing. You don't have a word in English for someone who wields the power of a governor and a general the way we do in Ixia. Graves: I mean we do. It's warlord. Apollo: [Sigh] I don't expect you to understand.
Grey Talon	No	Apollo: What happened to your grandchildren is unforgivable. Grey Talon: Apollo: And you shall have it.
		Grey Talon: Apollo: You talk as if you know him. Grey Talon: Apollo: I'm afraid reality is less salacious than the tabloids would have you believe. Grey Talon: Apollo: Who's to say? He's not here.
		Apollo: I heard about what you did in Boston. Grey Talon: Apollo: The Friends of Humanity rally? Grey Talon: Apollo: And the private security with arrows stuck in them?
Haze	Yes	Haze: Don't expect special treatment. Apollo: I'm not. Haze: I don't care who you are. Apollo: I think you covered that with the "Don't expect special treatment".
		Haze: You shouldn't be here. Apollo: I don't take orders from you. Haze: If you die, there's going to be an international incident. Apollo: Then I guess we better win. Haze: Us winning and you dying aren't mutually exclusive.
		Apollo: Are you here for the OSIC or yourself? Haze: Either you're asking me to tell you classified information, or to bare my soul to a teenager. I'm not sure which one is more absurd. Apollo: No need to be rude.
Holliday	Yes	Apollo: You haven't slept in days. Holliday: Who are you, my mother? Apollo: I'm the person who's putting his life in the hands of an emotional trainwreck on a suicide mission. Holliday: Do I look like Grey Talon? Apollo: Grey Talon has discipline that you could only dream about. I'm amazed you haven't accidently fired your gun already. Holliday: You're an asshole, kid.
		Holliday: You know how to use that sword? Apollo: No, I'm carrying it because I'm in Macbeth. What do you think? Holliday: This is gonna be a long day...
		Holliday: Be ready to stab 'em when I bring 'em in close. Apollo: You got it.
Infernus	Yes	Apollo: Infernus, I want you to know that I'm approachable. I don't expect you to address me by my formal title. Infernus: Yeah, that's great...cause I don't know who the hell you are. Apollo: Excuse me?! Infernus: This is gonna shock you, but I'm a grown ass man! I don't hang out with kids from Blackmore Academy: I kick 'em out of my bar. Apollo: But you're Ixian! Infernus: I'm a New Yorker, baby.
		Apollo: It's nice to fight alongside a fellow Ixian. Infernus: Ixian. Human. Chupacabra. Makes no difference to me. Apollo: Have you been here so long that you forgot where you came from? Infernus: I know where I'm from...and that's why I don't give a shit!
		Apollo: I've heard what you can do. Infernus: Make the best sidecar in Manhattan? Apollo: You know what I mean. Why are you working as a bartender? Infernus: You make enough bad choices in your life, it feels real good when you start making the right ones.
		Apollo: Sirosi galah, Infernus. (Ixian) Infernus: You having a stroke, son?! Apollo: You don't know Ixian? Infernus: English is the only language my parents will speak around me. Apollo: So they just want to abandon our culture? Infernus: Well, you'd have to ask them! All I know is that if my parents thought living in Ixia was so great, they never would've left.
Ivy	No	Ivy: Apollo: I'm assuming your sister's poor?
		Apollo: I'm glad I'm paired with you, and not some coward. Ivy: Apollo: Never confuse the desperate with the courageous.
		Apollo: You shouldn't have saved Spanish Harlem. Ivy: Apollo: Then they should have saved themselves rather than let you do all the work. Ivy: Apollo: Wasn't it?
Kelvin	No	Apollo: You're one of humanity's bravest, are you not? Kelvin:
		Kelvin: Apollo: It's not a secret. Kelvin: Apollo: This isn't about me, it's about my home.
		Kelvin: Apollo: I'm not completing the ritual for my father! Kelvin: Apollo: He thought it was safer for me. Kelvin: Apollo: The reward is worth the risk!
Lady Geist	No	Lady Geist: Apollo: You're paired with a prodigy. You're welcome.
		Apollo: So, are you idly rich or do you actually do something of value? Lady Geist: Apollo: You have no idea who you're talking to.
		Apollo: That's a curious piece of jewelry you have, Lady Geist. Lady Geist: Apollo: Just an observation!
Lash	No	Apollo: I've seen you fight before. Lash: Apollo: Yes. Someone fairly decent. Lash: Apollo: Look: I'm sure you could handle the town drunk in a bar fight, but in real combat... you're a middling talent.
		Apollo: So, you're that arrogant moron I've heard so much about. Lash: Apollo: That's not what they said. Lash: Apollo: Pretty sure they were.
		Lash: Apollo: I don't want your autograph. Lash: Apollo: You don't know who I am? Lash: Apollo: [Groan]
McGinnis	No	McGinnis: Apollo: No. I'm proud of my father, and he's proud of me.
		McGinnis: Apollo: Then you're gonna be in the thick of it. I tend not to stay in one place for long.
		McGinnis: Apollo: The last thing that I wanna do is work for a human's company. McGinnis: Apollo: I'm neither.
Mirage	No	Mirage: Apollo: You've done your homework. Mirage: Apollo: Please, give Nashala my father's regards. Mirage: Apollo: I'm royalty. It's important to know these things.
		Mirage: Apollo: I live in New York. It will never be my home.
		Apollo: You seem an honorable man. Mirage: Apollo: Nashala is lucky to have someone like you in her employ.
Mo & Krill	Yes	Apollo: So, is the mole your servant? Krill: Of course not. We are equals. Apollo: Then why doesn't he speak for himself? Krill: Because he's not interested in talking to you.
		Krill: I hope you're not above fighting dirty. Apollo: There's no honor in that. Krill: No, but there is great satisfaction in being alive.
		Krill: Well, if it isn't the Crown Prince of North Ixia. Apollo: That's not my title. Krill: Eh, it's close enough! Apollo: It's really not.
Paradox	No	Paradox: Apollo: ... Paradox: Apollo: I don't talk to thieves.
		Paradox: Apollo: There is no way in hell you will ever be within 20 miles of my father! Paradox: Apollo: There's no way in hell you'll ever be within 50 miles of where he sleeps!
		Paradox: Apollo: I'm not interested in seeing the trinkets you've stolen from others. Paradox: Apollo: It's no Tome of Anubis. Paradox: Apollo: Let me rephrase: I'm not going anywhere with you!
Pocket	No	Pocket: Apollo: Don't project your problems onto me!
		Pocket: Apollo: You went to Blackmore? Pocket: Apollo: Sounds like you miss it.
		Apollo: What's in the suitcase? Pocket: Apollo: If I didn't, I wouldn't have asked.
Rem	Yes	Apollo: Why are you carrying a pillow? Rem: Oh, I get sleepy. Apollo: Oh, gods, I'm gonna die...
		Apollo: This is no place for a child. Rem: Probably not. That's why Imma follow you! Apollo: Please don't. Rem: You can be my big brother that stabs people! Apollo: I'm an only child. Rem: Not anymore!
		Rem: How can I get a jacket like yours? Apollo: Do you have rich parents? Rem: No. Apollo: Are you the best at anything? Rem: Sleeping! Apollo: You're not getting a jacket like this. Sorry.
Seven	Yes	Apollo: I shouldn't be seen with someone like you. Seven: Already playing politics, I see? Apollo: I have a responsibility to my family. Seven: No... you have a yoke that you chose to don.
		Apollo: You're the one who escaped Lost Whisper. Seven: I am. Apollo: What was it like? Seven: I don't have time to wax poetic about the indignities I suffered. Apollo: Just enough time to wax poetic about brushing me off? Seven: Silence, child!
		Seven: Once I've rendered them helpless, run them through. Apollo: There's no honor in stabbing someone who can't defend themselves! Seven: No... but there is glory in victory. And victory is all that matters today!
Shiv	No	Shiv: Apollo: Are you trying to mock me or befriend me?
		Shiv: Apollo: It's a family heirloom, not something you pick up at a department store. Shiv: Apollo: It's sharp. Shiv: Apollo: I use it all the time. Shiv: Apollo: No. Shiv: Apollo: We'll find out, won't we?
		Apollo: You look confident. Shiv: Apollo: But, you do lose. Shiv: Apollo: Not me.
Silver	Yes	Apollo: Are you drunk? Silver: No. Apollo: Have you been drinking? Silver: Obviously. Apollo: It dulls the mind. Silver: Dulls a lot more than that... Apollo: You're going to get us killed! Silver: Relax, kid. We'll be fine.
		Silver: It's cool that you brought a sword. I assumed you gonna fight them with your silver spoon. Apollo: Ha, you're hilarious! Are you housebroken too? Silver: Oh my god, I've never heard that before, you are so clever. I bet you're daddy's special boy. Apollo: Billy? Is that you? Silver: Don't compare me to the goddamn goat. Apollo: Then don't act like him.
		Apollo: Are you good at your job? Silver: Yeah? Apollo: Then why can't you afford pants that aren't destroyed? Silver: These are nice pants! Apollo: Ehhh... Silver: We're done talking about this.
Venator	Yes	Venator: You're the one destined for greatness, right? Apollo: No, I'm great now. I'm just waiting for the world to catch up with the times so I can show it.
		Venator: You don't trust me. Apollo: Men like you call people like me demons, so no. I don't trust you. Venator: Young man, I don't care about the circumstances of your birth, I care about who you are. I don't give a damn if you look like a monster… but if you act like one, I will put you down. Apollo: Yep, I definitely don't trust you.
	No	Apollo: Follow my lead, and we'll get through this. Venator: [Chuckles] Apollo: Is something funny?! Venator: Apollo: I know what I'm talking about. Venator: No, you think you do. And there's a world of difference between experience and unearned arrogance.
Vindicta	No	Apollo: I read about Salem. It sounds horrific... and impossibly human. Vindicta:
		Apollo: Your war on the Friends of Humanity is commendable, even if your tactics are less than honorable... Vindicta: Apollo: I'm not. But as someone whose life has been affected by political assassinations, I have... complicated feelings.
		Apollo: You know... they speak of you in Ixia. Vindicta: Apollo: Yes. They call you Hasha Vogali. [Ixian] Vindicta: Apollo: "Death's Whisper."
Viscous	No	Viscous: Apollo: If you want to see fancy, you should attend one of my father's galas! Viscous: Apollo: That, um, th-that wasn't an invitation... Viscous: Apollo: You have me there!.. I shall try to make arrangements!..
		Viscous: Apollo: Not in any course I've taken. Viscous: Apollo: That probably speaks to your relevance.
		Viscous: Apollo: It's... beautiful. Viscous: Apollo: I imagine different people would tell you different answers. Viscous: Apollo: My culture has... complex dynamics. Viscous: Apollo: My family's in politics.
Vyper	No	Vyper: Apollo: I'll pass. Vyper: Apollo: I'm not.
		Vyper: Apollo: I think you're a little old for me. Vyper: Apollo: You're repugnant.
		Vyper: Apollo: What is it? Vyper: Apollo: I'm amazed you've given it any thought.
Wraith	No	Wraith: Apollo: Have we met? Wraith: Apollo: Classmate. I would never be friends with someone who is stupid enough to become indebted to you.
		Wraith: Apollo: Course you would! He's a great man. Wraith: Apollo: The first step is becoming someone worth talking to. Wraith: Apollo: Oh, I am keenly aware.
		Apollo: You don't have to worry about me. I'll earn my keep. Wraith:

Hero	Context	Audio
Celeste	Kill		Stopped the fencer.
			This isn't prep school, kid!
			Your family can't bail you outta this, kid.
			Stop playing with swords.
			He was slippery.
Graves	Kill		Great, I killed my lab partner...
			I don't hate him as much as I wish I did.
			He'll go cry to daddy and be fine, boo hoo.
			This is gonna make class awkward next week.
			Looks like you're not the best at everything after all!
Haze	Kill		Washington is going to be thrilled...
			This is gonna be tough to explain to Marlowe.
			Wonder who we're going to frame for this.
			I took down Apollo.
			He's his father's son.
Holliday	Kill		I don't care who your daddy is!
			He thought he was God's gift.
			Stay in school, kid.
			He's still got a lot to learn.
			Who brings a sword to a gun fight?
Infernus	Kill		That guy made being Ixian his whole personality.
			That kid needed to come down to Earth.
			Grow up, Apollo!
			You got potential, kid, but you're not there yet.
			I hope you learned from this, Apollo.
Mo & Krill	Kill		And he thought he was better than us.
			And now I feel like I've seen what Lash acted like as a teenager.
			The arrogance that radiated off that boy was astounding!
			Blackmore Academy: the breeding ground for Manhattan's finest narcissists.
			Took out the fencer!
Rem	Kill		He thought he was better than me.
			I don't know if he's mean, but he's definitely not nice.
			You shouldn't play with swords.
	Naptime taunt		Sirosi galah, Apollo... (Ixian)
Seven	Kill		Shioth valosh, Apollo. (Ixian)
			I have stained my hands with the blood of kings!
			Your father will be so disappointed.
			You never even considered failure, did you, Apollo?!
			Dispatched the fencer!
Silver	Kill		Crawl back to your mommy and daddy.
			I hate it when people act like I should know who they are...
			Blackmore Academy kids are all the same.
			Lil' humility will do him good.
			You're not special. You're cliché.
Venator	Kill		He had his whole life ahead of him...
			He threw away his future the moment he stood with that lot.
			I don't like snuffing out potential, but it had to be done.
			Poor lad had no idea who he was fightin' for.
			The fencer has been dealt with.
Yamato	Kill		(You have much to learn, boy.)
			(He had potential.)
			(Ah, the arrogance of youth.)
			You need more practice.
			(There's no shame in losing to me.)
