'''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.
|-
|[[File:Atlas_forge_2.mp3]]
|
'''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.
|-
|[[File:Atlas_forge_3.mp3]]
|
'''Abrams:''' Just to give you a heads up, I plan on picking... a lot of fights today.

'''McGinnis:''' Good. I hate people.

| rowspan="3" |No

|
|
'''McGinnis:''' Who made you, Bebop?

'''McGinnis:''' She looking for a job?

'''McGinnis:''' Well. When you see her, tell her she did great work.
|-
|
|
'''McGinnis:''' Eh, I like blowing things up.
|-
|
|
'''McGinnis:''' So, what sort of bindings did your creator put on you?

'''McGinnis:''' Rules that you're required to follow.

'''McGinnis:''' More like... the unethical enforcement of ethics.

'''McGinnis:''' Who made you, Bebop?

'''McGinnis:''' She looking for a job?

'''McGinnis:''' So, what's stopping you from mowing down humanity with that death laser?
|-
| rowspan="3" |{{PageRef|Dynamo}}
| rowspan="3" |Yes

|[[File:Dynamo_forge_1.mp3]]
|
'''McGinnis:''' How's that body working out for ya?

'''Dynamo:''' Splendid, all things considered.

'''McGinnis:''' Well, if you ever want an upgrade or something, you may call!

'''Dynamo:''' I appreciate the offer, Miss McGinnis. But hopefully after today, your services won't be needed.
|-
|[[File:Dynamo_forge_2.mp3]]
|
'''Dynamo:''' Have you ever considered being an adjunct professor?

'''McGinnis:''' No. I'd make a really bad teacher.

'''Dynamo:''' Why do you think that?

'''McGinnis:''' I don't know how I do what I do, it just... comes naturally. If I tried to teach someone, it would probably boil down to me saying "Try it again, but don't suck this time!"

'''Dynamo:''' Good god, you would be the Lash of academia.

'''McGinnis:''' You say it like that, I kinda wanna give it a try!
|-
|[[File:Dynamo_forge_3.mp3]]
|
'''McGinnis:''' Neat gun!

'''Dynamo:''' Thanks. I designed it myself.

'''McGinnis:''' Did you patent it?

'''Dynamo:''' No, no. Why do you ask?

'''McGinnis:''' No reason.
|-

|
|
'''McGinnis:''' You know they make things like "guns", if you ever wanna step into the 20th century.
|-
|
|
'''McGinnis:''' If you start smelling burnt toast, let me know.

'''McGinnis:''' In case you have a stroke.

'''McGinnis:''' I'm not even being an asshole here, there's a non-zero chance you fall and break a hip or something and if you do, I'm gonna have to step in.
|-
|
|
'''McGinnis:''' So what's your deal, "Murder Grandpa"?

'''McGinnis:''' Someone's touchy.
|-
| rowspan="3" |{{PageRef|Haze}}
| rowspan="3" |Yes
| rowspan="3" |
|[[File:Forge_haze_1.mp3]]
|
'''McGinnis:''' After the ritual, you think the OSIC is gonna pack up shop?

'''Haze:''' No. I think they'll open a permanent office. With all the activity going on, I'm shocked they haven't sooner.

'''McGinnis:''' Planning on transferring up here?

'''Haze:''' I'll go wherever they need me.
|-
|[[File:Forge_haze_2.mp3]]
|
'''Haze:''' Were you working for FI when the whole Cadenza situation was going down?

'''McGinnis:''' Yeah... that was a little intense.

'''Haze:''' I assume Fairfax wasn't thrilled.

'''McGinnis:''' Honestly, the rest of us were more rattled than he was. I was just a kid freaking out 'cause I thought I was going to lose my job but, Fairfax was surprisingly calm. I don't think he expected Cadenza to last forever. He just wanted to make the most out of an opportunity before legislation caught up. Plus, the guy gets to say he created one of the United States!

'''Haze:''' When you're someone who cares about legacy as much as he does, that's probably more valuable than money.

'''McGinnis:''' Exactly.
|-
|[[File:Forge_haze_3.mp3]]
|
'''McGinnis:''' I'll box them in for you, Haze.

'''Haze:''' Just make sure you don't box me out.

'''McGinnis:''' Hey, what's gonna happen's gonna happen!
|-
| rowspan="3" |{{PageRef|Holliday}}
| rowspan="3" |Yes
| rowspan="3" |
|[[File:Astro_forge_1.mp3]]
|
'''Holliday:''' What's it like working for Fairfax?

'''McGinnis:''' You ever work with rich people?

'''Holliday:''' Nah, I'm from Central Illinois. I just assume they're assholes with god complexes.

'''McGinnis:''' Eh, pretty close.
|-
|[[File:Astro_forge_2.mp3]]
|
'''Holliday:''' You were that kid genius, right?

'''McGinnis:''' Yeah.

'''Holliday:''' How that worked out for you?

'''McGinnis:''' I'm the lead engineer for the occult industrial complex?

'''Holliday:''' So... good?
|-
|[[File:Astro_forge_3.mp3]]
|
'''Holliday:''' How long you think you'll stay with Fairfax Industries?

'''McGinnis:''' I don't know. Probably until I get bored or open some portal to hell and die?

'''Holliday:''' Pretty specific.

'''McGinnis:''' Eh, I think about it a lot.
|-
| rowspan="3" |{{PageRef|Infernus}}
| rowspan="3" |No

|
|
'''McGinnis:''' Nah, Jezebel's not my scene. Too fancy.

'''McGinnis:''' I'm in!
|-
|
|
'''McGinnis:''' We're gonna make short work of those Guardians.
|-
|
|
'''McGinnis:''' Where's your gun?

'''McGinnis:''' No one "needs" a gun, it just makes surviving a firefight significantly more likely!
|-

|
|
'''McGinnis:''' And if Carlos paid my mortgage, I might care what he had to say.
|-
|
|
'''McGinnis:''' First up is asking for an application.

'''McGinnis:''' Ohh, so you wanted to have moral superiority over someone you just met.

'''McGinnis:''' Yeah. Don't do that.
|-
|
|
'''McGinnis:''' I read about you in the paper. Thanks for making New York a little better.
|-
| rowspan="3" |{{PageRef|Kelvin}}
| rowspan="3" |Yes
| rowspan="3" |
|[[File:Forge_kelvin_1.mp3]]
|
'''Kelvin:''' I've watched your career from afar, Miss McGinnis. Very impressive.

'''McGinnis:''' Thanks! You can drop the "Miss", though. Feel free to call me McGinnis, or Maggie... really, anything that makes me feel like I'm not in a boardroom.

'''Kelvin:''' I'll keep that in mind.
|-
|[[File:Forge_kelvin_2.mp3]]
|
'''McGinnis:''' I'm looking forward to working with you, Kevin.

'''Kelvin:''' Kelvin.

'''McGinnis:''' That's what I said.

'''Kelvin:''' I'm pretty sure you said "Kevin".

'''McGinnis:''' ''Pssh...'' No.

'''Kelvin:''' Yes.

'''McGinnis:''' I think I know what I said.

'''Kelvin:''' I think you do too.
|-
|[[File:Forge_kelvin_3.mp3]]
|
'''McGinnis:''' Hope your back's strong, because we are gonna be carrying this team.

'''Kelvin:''' Uhh, let's not get ahead of ourselves.

'''McGinnis:''' C'mon, it's just you and me. We're the two people that are gonna be keeping everyone alive, right?

'''Kelvin:''' Hm, it does seem likely.

'''McGinnis:''' Then let's have some healthy arrogance!

'''Kelvin:''' We're gonna do quite well!

'''McGinnis:''' We can work on this.
|-
| rowspan="4" |{{PageRef|Lady Geist}}
| rowspan="4" |Yes
| rowspan="3" |
|[[File:Forge_ghost_1.mp3]]
|
'''McGinnis:''' I don't know how you do it.

'''Lady Geist:''' You'd be surprised what you're capable of when the only other option is death.

'''McGinnis:''' Oh, I wasn't talking about murder. I was talking about pretending to be interested in people at fundraisers. I've seen you work the room at Fairfax's parties, it's... something else.

'''Lady Geist:''' Oh. Johann dragged me to hundreds of those before. It's second nature.

'''McGinnis:''' Is that your husband?

'''Lady Geist:''' Was.
|-
|[[File:Forge_ghost_2.mp3]]
|
'''Lady Geist:''' Ugh. You smell of motor oil and labor.

'''McGinnis:''' That's because I work for a living!

'''Lady Geist:''' How fun for you.

'''McGinnis:''' Yeah, turns out being a human being is good for the soul. You should try it sometime.
|-
|[[File:Forge_ghost_3.mp3]]
|
'''McGinnis:''' You're dressed practically.

'''Lady Geist:''' Ah. Wit.

'''McGinnis:''' Seriously, how do you think you're gonna fight in that?

'''Lady Geist:''' Your concerns are as unwanted as they are unneeded. Watch and learn.
|-
|Unlocked in Geist's visual novel
|[[File:Forge_ghost_oathkeeper_1.mp3]]
|
'''McGinnis:''' You remember what you need to do?

'''Lady Geist:''' Collect souls, power gauntlet, summon Patron... live forever.

'''McGinnis:''' You got it.

'''Lady Geist:''' Thank you, McGinnis.

'''McGinnis:''' You know, that actually sounded sincere. Way to go, Lady Geist!
|-
| rowspan="3" |{{PageRef|Lash}}
| rowspan="3" |No
| rowspan="3" |
|
|
'''McGinnis:''' I was a kid over a decade ago. Now I'm just a genius.

'''McGinnis:''' No need for pet names, "Lash-hole".
|-
|
|
'''McGinnis:''' Are you?
|-
|
|
'''McGinnis:''' You can go over my walls, right?

'''McGinnis:''' I'm amazed you know what either of those words mean.

'''McGinnis:''' Shut up.
|-
| rowspan="3" |{{PageRef|Seven}}
| rowspan="3" |Yes
| rowspan="3" |
|[[File:Forge_gigawatt_1.mp3]]
|
'''Seven:''' All your brilliance is wasted toiling for Fairfax.

'''McGinnis:''' Not wasted. I'm getting paid a fortune!

'''Seven:''' So you're content with being a wage slave.

'''McGinnis:''' Pretty much.

'''Seven:''' How depressing.
|-
|[[File:Forge_gigawatt_2.mp3]]
|
'''McGinnis:''' You ever take that thing off?

'''Seven:''' It's impossible.

'''McGinnis:''' For someone who likes to talk about having no limits, you sure seem quick to give up the goals on that one.

'''Seven:''' Hmm.

'''McGinnis:''' When this is over, come find me.
|-
|[[File:Forge_gigawatt_3.mp3]]
|
'''Seven:''' You were a prodigy, McGinnis.

'''McGinnis:''' I still am.

'''Seven:''' Now I think it's safe to say you plateau'd.

'''McGinnis:''' I'm sorry, what did you say?

'''Seven:''' You are a woman who executes pedestrian ideas at the highest level. That makes you a master craftsman, but far from a visionary.
|-
| rowspan="3" |{{PageRef|Wraith}}
| rowspan="3" |Yes
| rowspan="3" |
|[[File:Forge_wraith_1.mp3]]
|
'''Wraith:''' You're Fairfax's pet genius, right?

'''McGinnis:''' I'm no one's "pet" anything.

'''Wraith:''' Bad choice of words.

'''McGinnis:''' Little bit.

'''Wraith:''' Suppose now's not the time to ask for an introduction?

'''McGinnis:''' You'd be correct.
|-
|[[File:Forge_wraith_2.mp3]]
|
'''Wraith:''' Bet your turrets can't keep up with me.

'''McGinnis:''' You're on.
|-
|[[File:Forge_wraith_3.mp3]]
|
'''Wraith:''' You know, I'm used to working with people that are a little more subtle.

'''McGinnis:''' You have four arms and a tommy gun, "subtle" is the last word I'd use.

'''Wraith:''' Subtlety is on a spectrum.

'''McGinnis:''' Okay.
