Dialogue: Changes

Saul

You can do this.

Panam

Saul!

V

Fuck!

Bastard Smasher!

Saul

Aldecaldos!

Smasher

Fucking meat.

Saul

Aughhh!

Panam

Noooo!

Rogue

Can't turn back time, Johnny – ever. But you can always start over.

Smasher

I remember you, cunt.

V

Rogue…!

Rogue

Eat shit and die, bastard!

Aughhh!

Panam

It can't be much further, can it?

Saul

We have the room past the partition, then we'll be at the core.

Rogue

OK, so close I can almost smell the data stream.

Room past the partition – we cross it and we're at the core.

Alt Cunningham

Their defenses are breached.

The path to the core lies open, but we don't have much time.

V

1APanam?

Panam

1AI'm going to miss that constant bickering, the unending fights.

1AI never knew an ox more stubborn… who'd follow family into fire.

1AAnd in the end did exactly that.

Smasher

This is not the end! We'll meet again!

V

Doubt it.

V

2ARogue…

2AYou were… the best. Always.

Weyland

2AMe father always said that had he a desert isle to go to taking but one thing, he would take Rogue.

2ATheir generation – made of a different mettle.

V

2ARogue…

2AYou were… the best. Always.

Listen to me, you borged son of a bitch.

Rogue meant more than you or I ever could. Best there ever was. And you killed her.

Smasher

She knew the risks…

V

3ASilverhand – wanted to flatline 'im somethin' bad, didn'tcha? I mean, you swore you'd crush me.

Smasher

3ASilverhand? How's this even possible?

V

3AWe've come full circle. 'Cept back then, I'da finished you off 'thout a thought… Now?

Smasher

3AA pussy always and forever.

V

3AYou don't know shit. We've all changed. Yesterday's convictions mean nothing today.

3AFifty years back, we killed in the name of all that was beautiful.

3AToday, we can kill only in the name of those beautiful memories.

3BRogue had it in for you – finally got what she wanted.

Smasher

3BYou're talking tripe. I killed the old cunt.

V

3BDon't know shit, Smasher. She finished things off on her own terms.

3BSomethin' you'll never get.

V

4AGonna let you in on a little secret.

4AJohnny? He's here with us. Now, he can't talk, but I can feel him under my skin.

Smasher

4AWhat the fuck are you talking about?

V

4AIn the end, gotcha – Silverhand triumphs.

4BWas a good man, the guy you killed today.

Smasher

4BHe knew he was all-in.

V

4BSaul didn't want to, but he followed me here. Made the ultimate sacrifice – for a friend, for family.

4BSomethin' you'll never understand.

Adam Smasher.

I remember you. Promised to kill Silverhand once.

V

Shit, shit, shit!

You killed them! You borg fuck!

Johnny...

No idea if you got an ear out for me.

Might be better that way. This once you won't interrupt me mid-sentence, mid-thought.

Got no idea either how this'll end. Thing is, wouldn't've ever got this far without you.

Ancient fuckin' bastard…

Thanks... Thanks for everything.

Smasher

Only human.

V

Rogue…

You were… the best. Always.

V

1ASo listen, all I know for sure is Alt's bound to stage a coup in my head.

1ACan't know who'll be comin' back from this cyberjaunt, so I gotta thank you now…

Panam

1AV, shut up and do whatever you have to do.

V

1AAny parting advice?

Panam

1AJust be yourself.

V

2AHey, Weyland?

Weyland

2AYeah, man?

V

2AYou're all right.

Weyland

2AGood luck, Silverman.

V

4AAlt?

4ADunno if I'll have the wherewithal later, so figure I'll just say this now.

4AOn V's behalf – thanks.

4AAs for me...

4AI'm sorry.

Panam

You don't look too strong.

V

I'll make it.

Alt Cunningham

The access point lies before you.

Link to it, insert yourself, then search for me on the other side.

Panam

Come on, lean on me.

V

I can do this.

Panam

You don't look too strong.

V

I'll make it.
