	When I come for you, you're gonna know it. There's just not a damn thing that you can do about it.
	You were looking to summon a god, right? Well, here I am.
	Ohh, I'll summon the Patrons. But just so I can tell 'em... "you're welcome".
	Fun little fact: The Lash used to do an uppercut. And then I saw Bebop do an uppercut and I knew right then and there that I would never do one again.
	Reason 26 I'm better than Bebop: Only one of us has an impossibly dashing mustache. (Alt: Reason number 31 I'm better than Bebop: I know how to actually throw a bomb.)
	Reason number 87 I'm better than Bebop: He's Bebop.
	See, not everyone can handle the weight of being the best fighter on God's green Earth.
	The only demons I can't punch... are my own.
	Fear... is for lesser men. And Bebop.
	I'm not dumb. I know a lotta people hate me. It's a... it's a curse really, you know, to just rule so hard that every mediocre soul in the city has to resent you. (Alt: I'm not dumb. I know a lotta people hate me. It's, uh... I mean it's a curse, really. You know, I rule so hard that, uh, you know, every mediocre soul in the city just has to resent me.)
	It's important to give back. That's why I'm taking 3% of my winnings and donating them to Lash Back. My charity dedicated to children who, uh, kinda suck.
	Oh, I'll summon the Patrons. And when I do, I know exactly what I'm wishing for.
	You know, it's important to give back. That's why I'm taking 3% of my earnings a day and donating them to Lash Back. It's my charity dedicated to children who kinda suck.

	Ahaha, ah, good one. Wait, you're serious?
	Okay. Yeah, that was smart, don't pick me. Haha. See what happens.
	It's fine. The Lash doesn't crash parties he's not invited to, cause no party worth going to would ever not invite The Lash.
	Honestly, I was only planning on doing this as a favor to you, so- Ahah. Yeah, no worries.
	I understand, you wanna feel a challenge. See what it's like to not be the god of combat.
	Oh, Bebop got in your head, didn't he?
	The Lash is going to take a "me day".
	Not surprising. It takes time to get comfortable with greatness.
	You don't need to be intimidated by me, I am quite approachable.
	Not today my friend, The Lash is offering his beautiful physique to a life-drawing class.

Abrams	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.

Grey Talon	No		Grey Talon: I was feeling better before you started talking.
			Grey Talon: I do. Your prowess is undeniable. Grey Talon: You begin your career with a string of modest successes. Each one throwing logs on the fire of self-confidence. Grey Talon: Then you'd start taking more dangerous work. Work that you feel only you could handle. Your unorthodox tactics work 100% of the time... until they don't. And then your brothers find your skinless body in a retention pond in Portugal or Denmark. It's always Portugal or Denmark.
			Grey Talon: If we're going to win, we're need to learn to work together. Grey Talon: This is gonna be a goddamn nightmare.
Haze	No		Haze: This is gonna be a looong day. Haze: Well, you haven't been shot yet but there's still time.

			Holliday: Lash, here's the thing: I'm gonna need you to talk to me as little as humanly possible. Lash: What's in it for me? Holliday: I don't knock your teeth in. Lash: The Lash accepts.
Seven	Yes		Lash: Word on the street is you're some kinda boogeyman. Seven: I'm not interested in chit-chat. Lash: That's fine, the Lash knows how to carry a conversation. Seven: There is no conversation. Lash: The Lash does it again.
			Seven: They say you have quite the ego. Lash: Mediocre people say lots of unintelligent things. Seven: On this, we can agree.
			Seven: You're the pitfighter, yes? Lash: Uh... You mispronounced "champion". Seven: How silly of me. Lash: Mistakes happen, Glowstick. Seven: What did you call me? Lash: Glowstick. It's your new nickname. Seven: Call me that again and I will pop your eyes like grapes. Lash: Seven it is!
Wraith	Yes		Wraith: Mendoza said you were gonna take a dive in that fight. Lash: Mendoza says a lot of stupid shit. Wraith: I lost a lot of money. Lash: You didn't lose money. You spent it learning a valuable lesson: Never bet against the Lash.

Bebop		Bebop! You're a dime store version of me, so just deal with it!
		Hey Bebop! Pro tip: Stop sucking!
		Normally I'd say something like "I took your title, and now I took your self-respect". But the reality is, you have no self-respect.
		Let me break it down for you, Bebop: I'm flaming on. And you? You just suck.
		Like the belt? You should. It was yours.
		You can't hang with me, Bebop. Ever! Not in the Bear Pit, not in the Election Battle, not ever, ever, ever!
Forge		Took out Forge.
		Good try, Forge. "Golf clap"!
		Forge is down!
		Oof, those turrets actually gave me a workout!
		You'd kick Bebop's ass, Forge, but you don't got a chance against the Lash.
Kali		Not gonna dunk on you, Kali. You were a hell of a fighter before you retired. Lived in obscurity, came out of retirement in a desperate bid for relevancy, only to get injured by Bebop. Ouch! And put on a shelf for the better part of two decades. Uhf.
		Kali, I just want you to know that it is an honor to kick your ass.
		Reason 96 I'm better than Bebop: Bebop was only able to send you to the hospital. I was able to send you to the morgue.
		A lot's changed since you were out of the game, Kali. There's a new king in town. And his name... is... Lash.
		Keep your head up, Kali. There's nothing wrong with being second-best.

Ballista		It's fine. You know, lots of guys get the shit kicked out of them by their exes, right?
		I am not "hung up" on Ballista. It's fine.
		Ugh, they look good...
		Get it together, Lash! You're not gonna win them back by losing!
		I taught Ballista that move!
Bebop		This isn't over, Bebop.
		Plenty of time left for me to get revenge.
		If you don't think I'm gonna dedicate my life to destroying you, you haven't been paying attention.
		Bebop took me out. Well, I guess miracles do happen.
		I am not gonna get humiliated by Bebop.
Forge		I see her at the Bear Pit every Thursday with Astro, that lady is a student of the game.
		Forge knows how to build some artillery, that's for sure.
		If I charge into those turrets, I'll be in trouble.
		Astro is a lucky lady to be with someone like Forge.
		Lash, you gotta be smart when you're approaching Forge!
