| The wasteland... A desolate place darkened by the shadows of a dead civilization. There are no heroes, only survivors. This is the story of one man's quest to find happiness. The perfect Nuka-Break... | |
| Fallout: Nuka Break | |
| In front of a General Merchandise store in Goodsprings, a radroach scuttles by... The store owner drags Twig out the doorway. | |
| Twig sits up, shaking himself upright. He turns to look at Chet. | |
| Twig | I told you! Tha-that's what he gave me! |
| Chet | And I told you I ain't paying for the wrong delivery! |
| Twig | Aww come on, Chet! You know this isn't my fault. |
| Chet | (sighs) You always say that. |
| Twig | Well, yeah, that's because it's always true. |
| Chet | You ever think maybe... you're just a terrible courier? |
| Twig | No. Wh-ar-y-how ya mean-- |
| The sound of a laser rifle fires up, and Chet holds his hands up as Scarlett points her rifle behind his neck. Chet sighs again. | |
| Scarlett | You know as well as I do that all he did was carry the boxes and didn't choose what was in it. |
| Twig | Scar, don't-- |
| Scarlett | You! Shh... (to Chet) I'd pay the kid if I were you. |
| Chet reluctantly takes his wallet out of his pocket and tosses it to Twig. Twig shakes the wallet and hears a handful of caps inside. | |
| Chet | There. Ya happy? |
| Scarlett | Very. |
| Chet | Now get outta here. And you can forget about any more business with me, or this town! |
| Ben leaves the store with three Sunset Sarsaparillas and bumps into Chet. | |
| Ben | 'Scuse me. |
| Chet | Scuse-- AUGH! |
| Chet is frightened by the ghoul and runs back into the store, shutting the door. | |
| Ben | Don't worry, y'all are excused. (to Scarlett) Prick. |
| Scarlett gives Twig a hand as he brushes dirt off himself. | |
| Twig | (sighs) Really? |
| Scarlett | What? He wasn't gonna pay us but I'm starving! |
| Twig | Yeah! I'm starving, too! |
| Ben | Coulda' fooled me, fatty. |
| Twig stares at Ben. | |
| Twig | Anyway... I thought we talked about this! I mean, you and I. We--we said that we talked about you not aiming guns at people, or, or, or shooting them, or punching them, or yelling at them, and-- |
| Scarlett identically mimicks Twig's speech as if they've had this conversation before. | |
| Scarlett | Yeah, I got it. We got paid, didn't we? |
| Twig | Yeah, actually, yeah... let's see... |
| They get about five caps for their efforts. Ben sighs and shakes his head. | |
| Ben | Barely. |
| The team hang their heads in disappointment. | |
| Ben | Well, wasn't a total loss. (showing the bottles) Look what I got. Cooler than a bloodbath. |
| Twig | (looking at the bottle) You stole these? |
| Ben | Victimless crime. |
| Twig | How so? |
| Ben | Nobody died. |
| Twig | (disbelief) That's not-- |
| Scarlett | (interrupting) No, he's right. |
| Twig shuts his mouth, and returns the bottle back to Ben. | |
| Twig | That's not my brand, anyway. |
| Ben | Well, suit yourself fat boy. More for me. |
| Scarlett | (sighs) So now what? |
| Ben | Set up our courier scam in another town. |
| Scarlett | What? |
| Ben | What? |
| Scarlett | Scam? |
| Ben shrugs like it's the usual thing. | |
| Twig | Yeah! It was like every single package we delivered from the beginning was robbed! |
| Scarlett glances from Twig back to Ben. | |
| Ben | Yeah, that was weird. I thought like one of us was switching out the other when we were supposed to deliver with useless crap which definitely the whole point was. |
| Scarlett hangs her head in dismay. She walks past Ben, glaring at him. He quickly steps to the side. | |
| Ben | Don't touch my back. |
| Scarlett | Goddammit, Ben. |
| Ben | What!? I got the score and we got paid. What's the problem? |
| Scarlett quickly walks toward Ben, pointing the rifle at him. Ben holds his hands up. | |
| Ben | We've skipped some levels... |
| Scarlett | The problem is that now nobody can trust us. We're labelled as thieves, and now no one's gonna hire us! You screwed us! |
| Ben | (puts the muzzle down) Th-That-bu-just... you know what that's gonna do to me, just... ok Just, no, it's not that big of a deal, ok? The town south-west of here, this buddy of mine, will have some work for us. |
| Scarlett looks away. Unsure whether to trust Ben. She puts the gun on him again. | |
| Scarlett | Something legit? |
| Ben | It's all legit! |
| Scarlett raises an eyebrow. | |
| Ben | Kinda. |
| Scarlett | (hesitantly) Fine. |
| Ben | (far away) Geez, why'd you get so... |
| Meanwhile, Twig was figuring out the scam himself, and had only come to an conclusion now. | |
| Twig | Oh! Oh you were stealing! Oh, man... |
| He follows them as they leave Goodsprings... As they trekked the Wasteland... | |
| Scarlett | (to Ben) Man, how old are you? |
| Ben | Old enough. |
| Scarlett | Then how old were you when the War started? |
| Ben | Mid-twenties, I guess? I don't remember. |
| Scarlett | So, how much do you actually remember? |
| Ben | Nothing... for the rough? |
| Scarlett | Yeah. |
| Ben | Lots of things. |
| Scarlett | Like? |
| Ben stops, thinking over a cigarette... | |
| Ben | By mannan. |
| Scarlett | What was that? |
| Ben | I dunno. I think like a ham or something. |
| Scarlett | What, like from an old religion? |
| Ben | Must be. You know those things you stick in your head? |
| Scarlett | Huh. |
| Ben | Hmm. |
| Twig walks ahead only to trigger a frag mine. He stops. | |
| Twig | Aww, crap! |
| The mine explodes, and Twig gets blown back. The trio get shot at by three raiders. Ben immediately kills one of them with his shotgun. One of the two raiders runs past while shooting wildly, as Scarlett and Ben trade fire. | |
| Ben | Let's get outta here! |
| Scarlett manages to help Twig up and they retreat, hiding behind a rock. | |
| Twig | (coughing from dust) What was that? |
| Ben | Raiders. Didn't think they'd be out this far. |
| Scarlett | They're not raiders. They're too organized. |
| Twig | They're way too well-equipped. |
| Scarlett | So what are we thinking? (a bullet ricochets past her) Ugh! Radroaches in a barrel? |
| Ben | If I'm in charge. |
| Scarlett | Dead man's feint? |
| Ben | (pointing at Twig) I'd love him to be the human target. |
| Twig | Oh, come on, man! Those ideas are just people shooting at me! |
| Ben | Hey, statistically, two-thirds of us survive. I like those odds. |
| Twig shakes his head sighs in distress. | |
| Scarlett | Ok, what about the lucky charmer? |
| Twig | Aww, no! I hate that one too! |
| Ben | Well, it's either that, or...(hands him a stimpak and a frag grenade) Chucky the suicide bomber! |
| Twig | Aww... stimpak. I... For the record, I hate you. |
| Ben | For the record, I don't give a shit. |
| Twig administers the stimpak. Another bullet ricochets near Scarlett. Twig grabs the grenade and stands up, raising his arms. | |
| Twig | Okay, STOP SHOOTING! Stop shooting. Hey, heeyyy... (to the raiders) Hey, guys! Hey, hey, hey. You guys, I just wanna talk! You guys know how to do that, right? |
| John | Shut up! I don't wanna hear from you, fat man! |
| The raider whistles at Scarlett. She shakes her head. The raider grins slyly and nods. | |
| Twig | (pointing to self) No, hey, hey. Up here. You guys obviously know what you're doin'. So, y'know. Let's, let's talk it out. Y'know, you guys get what you want, and I get to go right that direction with my own life! |
| John | Yeah? Well, what if someone wants us to kill ya? |
| He looks at the other raider, who nods. The other raider nods as well. | |
| Twig | H-hold on. You, you just said you wanted to hear from me. |
| John | Yeah, we lied. We're raiders. |
| He fist pumps the first raider. | |
| Twig | (scoffs) Are not. |
| James | (stuttering) Are... are too. |
| He nods at the middle raider, who nods back. | |
| Twig | No. You guys are way too well-dressed to be raiders. |
| Jimmy | Aww, he noticed! |
| John | We set up an ambush, we fired at you behind, which makes us raiders. |
| James | Big time! |
| Jimmy | I think I'd rather be a bounty hunter than we're in now! |
| John | Jim, we'll talk about this later, ok? |
| Jimmy | There's good money in bounties! |
| James | Y'know... we're kinda doing bounty hunting right now. |
| John | James! We will talk about this later, ok? |
| Jimmy | Why are you always saying that? Why can't we talk about it now? |
| Twig laughs in amusement at the ongoing quarrel between the raiders. | |
| John | Well, I'm tellin' ya, it's not a good time! |
| Jim starts crying. | |
| James | Look what you did, you got him all upset! |
| John | You got him upset even when he cries! He always cries! |
| Ben nods at Scarlett. They take their chances and move out of their hiding spot to their position. | |
| John | We're gonna talk about it later, ok, Jimmy?! |
| Jimmy | -I think we should talk about it now! |
| The quarrel becomes incoherent. | |
| Twig | Ladies! Hey, ladies... ladies? What you guys really need to worry about right now, are the two guns pointing right at your heads. |
| Ben cocks his shotgun. Scarlett aims her rifle nearby. | |
| Jimmy | Aww, man... |
| Ben shoots James at the neck, and Scarlett disintegrates Jim into a fine dust. Twig takes out That Gun and enters VATS. He shoots the last raider's weapon off, his left arm, and his head, in that order. The battle is over. | |
| Scarlett | By mannan, nice shootin'! |
| Twig unloads his gun. | |
