Conversations

Hero	Complete?	Audio
Apollo	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.
Bebop	No	Calico: Bebop: More or less.
		Calico: Bebop: I'm not interested in killing people for money. Calico: Bebop: It's an arbitrary, yet distinct, line.
		Bebop: If I bring 'em to us, can you finish 'em off? Calico:
Celeste	No	Calico: Celeste: Please stop talking to me. Calico: Celeste: I said, please!
		Calico: Celeste: It didn't come naturally. It took a lot of practice. Calico: Celeste: Oh.
		Celeste: Hey, I'm Celeste! Calico: Celeste: Nice to meet you! So, what do you do? Calico: Celeste: Fun! Calico: Celeste: Fancy! What about for work? Calico: Celeste: Oh, that's... great.
The Doorman	No	The Doorman: Lovely to see you again, Miss Calico. Calico: The Doorman: I haven’t. Calico: The Doorman: Oh, that would spoil the fun. Calico: The Doorman: You wouldn’t have it any other way.
		The Doorman: So, are you just in New York for the ritual or do you have… professional interests in town? Calico: The Doorman: Ah, seeing old friends?
		Calico: The Doorman: In the unlikely event of it being necessary she will be treated like a queen at The Baroness. Calico: The Doorman: My pleasure.
Drifter	No	Drifter: I see the Baxter Society is sending their B-team to help me. Calico: Drifter: How could I forget? You're a scary killer now. Calico: Drifter: Stop pretendin' like you're gonna do a damn thing about my tone. Calico:
		Calico: Drifter: Which I'd say is a testament to how satisfying it is.
		Calico: Drifter: It's a remarkably ugly cat, I can't help it.
Graves	No	Graves: You look familiar. Calico: Graves: No, I've seen you before, not on the news. Calico: Graves: Nonono, they're alive... I know! You were at their Christmas party last year. Calico: Graves: It was at "Whiteside & Graves". Calico:
		Calico: Graves: Yeah, you gonna give me a lecture on how it's a bad idea to carry it? Calico:
		Graves: I like your ugly cat. Calico: Graves: Look, I mean, I think she's great, but... objectively she's ugly as sin. Calico:
Grey Talon	No	Calico: Grey Talon: We both know that's a lie. Calico: Grey Talon: I understand... You being here now means more.
		Calico: Grey Talon: How awkward do you want to make it? Calico: Grey Talon: Great.
		Calico: Grey Talon: I don't have many breaths left, Calico... I'm certainly not going to waste them on your problems.
Haze	No	Calico: Haze: I do. Calico: Haze: I'm going to kill you before the day is out, so making small talk seems a little pointless.
		Calico: Haze: That my restraint is superhuman.
		Calico: Haze: You'll find out real soon.
Holliday	Yes	Holliday: Cute cat, what's her name? Calico: Ava. Holliday: You think it's safe, bringing her out here? Calico: Don't worry about us, sheriff. We'll be fine.
		Holliday: Rumor is, you were in the Baxter Society! Calico: I was. Holliday: You ever hear of something called "The Troubadour"? Calico: Enough to know to stay away from it.
		Calico: You're not much of a talker, are you? Holliday: No. Calico: God, you and Wesley would get along famously.
Mirage	No	Mirage: You're the woman with no honor, yes? Calico: Mirage: You betrayed everything you believed in. Calico: Mirage: You used to save people. And now you kill them for money. Calico: Mirage: You're a lost cause.
		Calico: Mirage: I haven't had the chance to see much, but... what I have has been pleasant. Calico: Mirage: You are surprisingly affable.
		Calico: Mirage: I don't recall us meeting. Calico: Mirage: That's right. How did you...? (Gasps) You're the one who assassinated Siegfried, aren't you?
Mo & Krill	No	Calico: Krill: A pleasure to see you again, Calico. Calico: Krill: As much as we can in our line of work. Calico: Krill: As are we.
		Calico: Krill: It was a privilege. I'm sorry we couldn't do more. Calico: Krill: I suppose that's true. Calico: Krill: Eh, close enough.
		Krill: Your ward is looking ravishing as always. Calico: Krill: There are cats, there are queens, and then there is Ava.
Pocket	No	Calico: Pocket: Go to hell.
		Pocket: You tried to kill me. Calico: Pocket: The hell you didn't! A quarter inch to the right and that bullet would've been square in my heart.
		Pocket: When this is over, are you going to try to kill me? Calico: Pocket: To finish the job? Calico: Pocket: Yeah? Who is?
Seven	No	Calico: Seven: Well, aren't we clever? Calico: Seven: And here I thought I was supposed to be working with a professional.
		Seven: How does it feel to be the black sheep of the Baxter Society? Calico: Seven: Oh, you are an exceptional liar!
		Calico: Seven: I was the one betrayed. Calico: Seven: Be silent!
Silver	No	Silver: So you're Calico? Surprised we've never met. Calico: Silver: What's that supposed to mean? Calico: Silver: Venn diagrams are circles, you snooty bitch.
		Calico: Silver: Who's Ava? Calico: Silver: So, no one important. Calico: Silver: She's a pet, not some titan of industry.
		Calico: Silver: I'm not interested in a career change. Calico: Silver: There's a fairly large one. Calico: Silver: It's happened!
Venator	No	Calico: Venator: I'm not lookin' to chit-chat with a murderer. Calico: Venator: Don't try to equivocate with me, Calico. Calico: Venator: Wrong. I have no illusions that my hands are clean, but at least when innocent people die by my hand, it's not because I'm lookin' to make a dollar. Calico: Venator: Don't pretend that you bother to check.
		Calico: Venator: Not long enough. Calico: Venator: That was before you became a monster.
		Venator: Seeing you dote on that cat is nauseating. Calico: Venator: You and I both know that for the right price you'd slit her throat.
Victor	No	Victor: Keep the cat away from me. Calico: Victor: I'm not trying to be an asshole, but if a cat pulls my stitches, it's bad for all of us. Calico: Victor: Thanks.
		Calico: Victor: Excuse me? Calico: Victor: Did you? Calico: Victor: We're talking after the ritual.
		Calico: Victor: I'm fine. Calico: Victor: Why? What do you know?
Vindicta	No	Calico: Vindicta: Depends on the favour, I suppose. Calico: Vindicta: The economic woes of assassins are not particularly my concern... Hathorne and his little merry band of bigots will die at my leisure.
		Vindicta: You're one of Wesley's friends, right? Calico: Vindicta: He spoke highly of you. Calico: Vindicta: You can be disappointed in someone and still hold them in esteem.
		Vindicta: How long have you had your familiar? Calico: Vindicta: She seems fond of you.
Vyper	Yes	Vyper: It's nice, to finally get to work with someone like me. Calico: I'm nothing like you. Vyper: Come on! We're a couple of tough broads who kill people for money. Calico: I kill people for money. You kill people for a pack of cigarettes and a hot meal, we're not the same. Vyper: Oh, Cal- you're soundin' a little classist there, C. Calico: Oh, I'm sounding a lot classist, because I'm nothing like you.
		Vyper: You know, when I was in the joint I heard stories about you. Calico: I didn't realise my exploits were things of New Jersey lore. Vyper: No, not New Jersey, Wisconsin! There's actually a lot of assassins in Wisconsin. Calico: Why? Vyper: Safehouses are cheap in Milwaukee, I dunno? Point is, word on the street is that you do sloppy work. Calico: Excuse me?! Vyper: There was something about... like a hit, that went bad? I don't remember all the details, honestly, Wisconsin hooch is top-shelf.
		Vyper: Three bucks for your cat. Calico: She's not for sale. Vyper: Tell you what, I'll bump it up to a crisp Lincoln. Calico: Vyper, there are some who may find your pathetic nature endearing. I am not one of them. So let me lay down ground rules. If you touch my cat, I'll take your hand. If you hurt my cat, I'll kill you. And if for some pruno-addled reason you decide that it's a good idea to steal my cat, you will pray for a death that will not come. Vyper: You know, I like the way you threaten people, C. We're gonna be best friends, I can tell.
Yamato	No	Calico: Yamato: I don't need your help, Calico.
		Yamato: Tell me the name of your cat. Calico: Yamato: なんでもない、忘れろ. (It's nothing, forget it.)
		Calico: Yamato: Only if they're smart.

Voice Lines spoken by enemies when interacting with Calico.

Hero	Context	Audio
Apollo	Kill	Her reputation seems to be overblown.
		I took out Calico!
		You're not used to fighting someone with talent, are you, Calico?
		Stay away from my family, Calico!
		It was a mistake taking this contract, Calico.
Bebop	Kill	I stopped Calico!
		You're not stopping us, Calico!
		I'm not some organic that's easy to kill!
		Calico, your arrogance cost ya!
		Know when you're outmatched, Calico!
Billy	Kill	I hate your cat.
		Your cat? Is stupid.
		Your cat? Is ugly!
		I hope your cat gets eaten by a sewer rat.
		I hope your cat eats your corpse, then I hope the cat gets eaten by a chupacabra, or a spider, or anything that'll make that cat suffer!
Celeste	Kill	Stopped Calico!
		I know that she tried to kill me, but she sounds so fancy! I kinda love it.
		You're not takin' my horn, Calico!
		Leave me alone, Calico!
		It's not gonna be the last time she tries to kill me.
The Doorman	Kill	I liked her.
		Ava is welcome to stay at the Baroness as long as she wishes.
		Ava will belong to the Baroness soon enough.
		I can't have you assassinating my allies, Calico!
		You took the wrong contract, Calico.
	Hotel Guest Taunt	I see you, Calico. Your heart is cold, but it is not dead. There is a part of you that has not buried the past. It’s not too late to rethink your choices. Stay a while. The Baroness has a way of calming the tempest of the mind.
	Hotel Guest Taunt (short)	Look on the bright side, Calico. When your body rots, I’ll take care of your cat.
Drifter	Kill	I love a good reunion.
		Always nice when I get to kill Wesley's friends.
		Huntin' man ain't the same as huntin' me.
		She wasn't half bad.
		Wesley could never stop me, and you're no Wesley.
	Bloodscent Hunting	Here, kitty-kitty...
Graves	Kill	When this is over, I'd love to keep in touch.
		That cat rules.
		Took down Calico!
		She's as dangerous as they say…
		Glad I'm walking away from that in one piece.
Grey Talon	Kill	I was content to leave you alone, Calico. Why did you have to come here?
		What happened to you, Calico?
		I wish it didn't have to be this way.
		She gave up on her ideals for something as pointless as money.
		I don't want to fight you, Calico!
Haze	Kill	Calico has been dealt with.
		We have nothing to fear from Calico.
		Calico could only evade me for so long.
		Calico got what she deserved!
		That woman died as she lived.
Holliday	Kill	Took out Calico!
		"Most dangerous woman on the planet", my ass!
		That cat deserved better than to be attached to you.
		You belong in jail, Calico... But I'll settle for you in the dirt.
		No one's above the law, Calico!
Infernus	Kill	Sorry, Calico.
		Don't like the way that cat was lookin' at me.
		That lady's mean as hell!
		Sorry your mom's an asshole, Ava.
		You don't wanna start no shit with me, Calico!
Ivy	Kill	I love your cat!
		You're not picking off my friends, Calico!
		Took out their Assassin!
		Don't worry, Calico. I'm sure the Arroyos will adopt Ava.
		She used to be a hero...
	Ping (see)	There's the crazy cat lady!
Kelvin	Kill	It's over, Calico!
		That cat deserves better than you, Calico!
		Took out Calico!
		No more games, Calico!
		You couldn't run forever, Calico.
Lady Geist	Kill	Took out the arms dealer.
		That cat is revolting.
		I stopped Calico!
		Ugh. She reeked of new money.
		Calico won't be bothering us for a while.
Lash	Kill	Took out the cat lady!
		Calico's down and nobody misses her.
		Guess I have to clean up the Baxter Society's mess.
		Another problem solved by The Lash.
		Took down Calico.
McGinnis	Kill	Nice try, Calico.
		Tell you what, you stop stealin' my ideas and I stop shootin' you.
		Calico won't be botherin' us for a while.
		Crawl back to whatever hole you came out of.
		Get with the times, Calico.
Mina	Kill	A shame, in another life you could have been my cool aunt or something.
		I'd rather die than become a creepy cat lady.
		Oh my god, I think that cat was their only friend. That is so sad.
		If you had to have a cat, why'd you pick a sphynx?
		Yeah, I don't do pets.
Mirage	Kill	I won't be stopped by you, Calico.
		You've brought so much suffering to the world, Calico... You got what you deserved.
		Dangerous woman...
		Calico's down.
		Never trust someone who owns a sphynx.
Mo & Krill	Kill	We are not cat people!
		Calico was stopped!
		We dropped Calico!
		Ego catches up with all of us.
		There's nothing quite like beating an egomaniac.
		Sorry, but we're not cat people... Come to think of it, we're not even people.
Paige	Kill	Ava's adorable.
		I can't stay mad at her! She's got a cat!
		Calico's been dealt with.
		I don't think Calico's gonna take that very well.
		That woman was a nightmare.
Paradox	Kill	You're not better than me, Calico!
		I thought she was rather charming! A shame it had to end this way...
		I took down Calico!
		Calico isn't a real threat.
		Calico didn't have what it takes.
Pocket	Kill	I was wondering when I'd see you again.
		It's been a while!
		Calico's been dealt with.
		Don't worry, I'll take care of Ava.
		I suppose this was inevitable.
Rem	Kill	Her cat is scary.
		I think her cat hissed at me.
		You kill people for money. That's mean!
	Naptime taunt	I wanna be in the Baxter Society too...
Seven	Kill	The ego on that woman…
		Her talent did not match her reputation.
		Calico has been handled.
		The black sheep of the Baxter Society is dead.
		You need to be more discerning with your contracts, Calico.
Shiv	Kill	I hate cats.
		Calico's dead!
		You talk a big game, but you bleed just like anyone else, Calico.
		Calico won't be bothering us.
		Calico, you're not half as dangerous as you think you are.
Silver	Kill	Finally caught you, Calico.
		You're not a predator, Calico. You're a parasite.
		It was always gonna end this way, Calico.
		That was one ugly cat.
		And she thought she was so clever.
Venator	Kill	The black sheep of the Baxter Society is dead.
		I hope your thirty pieces of silver was worth it, Calico.
		You fancy yourself an aristocrat, but you're just a petty woman with petty aspirations.
		You were never going to kill me, Calico.
		That was for Grey Talon.
Victor	Kill	Took out Calico.
		Stopped Calico.
		I'm not letting that cat pull out my stitches.
		Sorry, Ava. Your owner is kind of an asshole.
		Thought she was supposed to be a scary assassin?
Vindicta	Kill	You can't hide from me, Calico.
		Some assassin she turned out to be.
		Don't worry. I'll find Ava a home.
		Ava will be well looked after.
		That should knock her down a peg.
Viscous	Kill	I took out Calico.
		I liked her cat.
		Stopped Calico.
		Calico isn't a threat.
		Goodbye, Calico.
Vyper	Kill	Took down Calico!
		Yeah, no one likes a cat lady.
		Snob!
		Turns out two dollar words can't stop a bullet!
		I ju-I'm tired of you acting like you're better than me!
Yamato	Kill	(You're nothing compared to me, Calico…)
		(I knew I could never trust you…)
		(I hate cats.)
		(Crossing the Seventh Moon was a mistake, Calico…)
		(Ha! This is "the most dangerous woman on the planet"?)
