Piero's devices
Piero Joplin and Callista Curnow talk in front of Piero's workshop.

Piero: "I know the Golden Cat. Not as a patron, mind you. I designed some specialized devices for them. I kept the blueprints, if anyone is curious."

Callista: "Don't. I brought you tea as a courtesy to a college. I won't make that mistake in the future."

Piero: "I'm sorry, I only thought – never mind what I thought. Thank you for the tea."

Callista: "I have to get back to the Admiral. He has news for me."

Wallace & Lydia
Wallace Higgins and Lydia Brooklaine talk in the servants' quarters.

Wallace: "You're lucky I keep you on."

Lydia: "Lucky? This place would fall apart in ten minutes without me."

Wallace: "Is that so?"

Lydia: "In any case you can't dismiss me. I went through the books this morning and found five mistakes you've made."

Wallace: "Very well."

Lydia: "You're lucky I found them before the Admiral did."

Weepers below
Admiral Farley Havelock talks to Corvo Attano near the sewer hatch in the courtyard.

"Hello, Corvo. I expect Martin will be joining us shortly.

''I hate to start your day with such a strange matter, but the servants heard something last night, moving through the storm drains beneath the building. Most likely a weeper, the poor bastard.''

''There's no hope for them once the plague gets that far along. Nothing more than a shuffling corpse full of sickness and insects, if you ask me. I'd appreciate you investigating. Just to be sure it's not a nosy guardsman that's getting too close.''

''Here's a key to the hatches. I'd send a servant down there, but but they'd die of fear on the spot, I'm afraid. Maybe Piero can concoct some sort of sleep poison for your crossbow if you want to go that route."''

Cecelia's praise
Cecelia talks to Corvo after he emerges from the sewer.

"You went down there in the sewers? I thought I heard a weeper in there earlier. You're probably the bravest man I've ever met.

''Overseer Martin has arrived. He's with Admiral Havelock now. They want to talk to you."''

Briefing with Martin and Havelock
Havelock: "Corvo! I trust you remember Martin. An Overseer before and perhaps again some day soon."

Martin: "I owe you thanks for my rescue."

Havelock: "Indeed, you've given us a glimmer of hope, Corvo, because we've gotten what we wanted from Campbell's journal. You've done it! We know where Emily Kaldwin is being held."

Martin: "The Golden Cat, of all places. A bathhouse for aristocrats. Little better than a cursed brothel."

Havelock: "But there's an unfortunate twist. It appears that Pendleton's own kinsmen stand in our way. The twins Morgan and Custis. Not only are they controlling Emily, but they have the controlling parliamentary votes we so desperately need."

Martin: "Yes, the Pendletons have to die. But most importantly, Emily must be brought here safely so we can protect her until the Lord Regent and his entourage have been dealt with. Pendleton's waiting for you on the dock. He's asked to brief you personally – I think it's best."

Briefing with Pendleton
"Corvo, a moment, if I may.

''Corvo, I've asked to speak to you myself. You see, I'm sending you to kill my older brothers, Morgan and Custis. They're horrible men, it's true, as you may have heard. Cruel beyond words.''

Further, my brothers are close allies to the Lord Regent, and as long as they are in Parliament, we cannot gather the votes we'll need to stop the Lord Regent from further consolidating his power.

''These days, they're best known for exploiting their favor with him to cheat others out of their wealth. Let's just say that not every family evicted and quarantined for actually having the plague actually has the plague.''

''I warned my brothers in every way I could, I really did, but they never did listen to me. They'll be at the Golden Cat tonight, at their usual revels.''

They'll be protected by the City Watch, so it'll be dangerous.

''Now go. Please do it before I change my mind."''

Havelock & Callista
Havelock: "Ah, you're finally back."

Callista: "Excuse me, Admiral. I was delayed."

Havelock: "Pay close attention to your duty, miss. It will never work without Emily, and when she gets here you will be her nurse and teacher. In a way you're more important than Corvo here."

Callista: "You mean you've found her?"

Havelock: "We have her location, and I'm sure Corvo will whisk her back here in no time. You, Miss Curnow, are tasked with tending to the most important person in the empire. Tend to her every need. Educate her, train her in graces, cut her meat if you must. Do whatever is needed. Do you understand?"

Callista: "Yes sir."

Departure
"I'll take you to the Golden Cat when you're ready. I've taken Lord Pendleton enough times, believe me."

Farley Havelock

 * "If I were a few years younger I'd be doing your job myself. Don't think I couldn't! I used to climb the rigging like a monkey."
 * "Wine's no good for a Navy man. I need a proper drink."
 * "D'you know, we met once back in your old job? State dinner, you wouldn't remember, you were looking after the Empress. Ah, she was beautiful, wasn't she?"
 * "A man sees funny things out at sea. The world's not all like the Overseers teach it. Not by a long shot."
 * "Give some thought to what you'll be doing when this foolishness is over, won't you? Anything you like, just name it."
 * "It has taken some adjustment to lead a civilian organization such as this. In my younger years I'd have just ordered my ships to fire on the Tower, then drag the Lord Regent to me. But a bright future does not lay in that direction."
 * "Once we've got the daughter of the Empress here, we'll be counting on you to protect her."
 * "Oh, what I'll do when I get my fleet back. I've broken a blockade or two in my time."

Teague Martin

 * "Campbell's book appears to contain much more than we expected. He was blackmailing a number of highly ranked Overseers. With the information in his journal, we will be able to manipulate the religious faction. The Overseers will bend to our will."
 * "You've never been to the Golden Cat? No, I suppose not. Me neither, of course."
 * "Interesting. I won't ask, but the mark on the back of your hand – are you studying the forbidden arts, Corvo? Never mind. We're all friends here."
 * "My neck still aches a little from the stocks. But I must say, you created quite an impression on the Overseers during your visit. They are a nervous lot now."

Before briefing

 * "Ah, hello, Corvo."
 * "Cursed weepers, roaming all over the city."
 * "This movement will have a cost. For some of us, it will be very high."
 * "I wonder, Corvo. Do you have brothers somewhere? You left your family on Serkonos to come here for the Empress, didn't you?"
 * "There will be lasting consequences when this is all said and done. Make no mistake about that."

After briefing

 * "A challenge, even for someone like you."
 * "Six months ago, I was out at the estate hunting with my brothers. Custis and Morgan were always better shots, though one of them nearly killed me, all for a cruel joke. I never thought I'd be the Pendleton heir, you know. I never expected any of this."
 * "By the Outsider's eyes, I'm going to drink tonight."
 * "It'll have to be now, I think. With Campbell out of play, they'll move Lady Emily soon. And in a few days, Custis and Morgan will be out at the estate hunting and we'll never catch them. Strange, I never thought I'd be the Pendleton heir, you know. I never expected any of this."

Wallace Higgins

 * "It was a milkmaid who started it. She took ill one morning after her chores, but the milk had already been delivered. That was all it took for them to wall the place off. Plague spreads fast."
 * "My master had a very fitful night. no one sleeps well here."
 * "When they come to get me, they'll be surprised. I've held a sword before, believe it or not."
 * "Please pardon the untidiness of the room. I will tend to it shortly."

Lydia Brooklaine

 * "It's a nice old pub. These beds have seen quite a bit of use, I can tell you."
 * "Two barrels of flour, four weeks, eight men and three women... Oh no, I've lost it."
 * "All I ever wanted was to keep a respectable public house."
 * "You'd think a Navy man wouldn't be so particular about his linens."
 * "Lady… Lydia… Pendleton. Ecch, no. I'd rather die of plague."

Samuel Beechworth

 * "All well, Master Corvo?"
 * "Better than the Coldridge Prison, ain't it?"
 * "Always dreamed I'd have my own ship..."
 * "Reminds me of one time - off the Morley coast - no, I've forgotten."
 * "Just waiting for my orders to come in, sir. You can count on me."

Piero Choplin

 * "I built some of their specialized equipment at that bathhouse myself. Hydraulics, you know. Handled wrong, it could do some real damage."
 * The weeper, a phenomenon unknown before the plague reached its worst. The sentience is all but gone, higher thinking lost. But the body continues to move and walk, literally bursting at the seams with virus. It becomes a breeding ground for horrendous insects that are quite dangerous."
 * "Yes, they moan and plea and beg for help. But I believe this is more of a reflex, or perhaps even a mimicked behavior, intended to lure in fresh prey."
 * "It seems there is a weeper beneath our very feet. Harmless as long as it remains down there."
 * "What? You've not seen a weeper? This is a person with the most advanced stages of the plague. Well, with the exception of death itself. I suppose there are no weepers in Coldridge Prison, where you've been. But you will see them on the streets, I assure you. How about meeting your first on your own terms, hmm?"
 * "I suppose there are no weepers in Coldridge Prison, where you've been. But you will see them on the streets, I assure you. How about meeting your first on your own terms, hmm?"
 * "I have a friend who still works within the Academy of Natural Philosophy. He would gladly take a single weeper into his care for study, if you were able to render it unconscious. Perhaps he can help it or make it comfortable."
 * "If you sedate it, perhaps with a sleep dart, and leave it there alive, I will see that it is moved, in secret, to the Academy."
 * "The Golden Cat is a delightful place for a man, or, er, so I'd imagine."
 * "The potential energy in a dram of whale oil defies all the laws of nature as we understand them. But that does NOT mean the whales are magical. Or that they practice black magic"
 * "No one understands the challenges I face. I had to rebuild everything so that it can't be heard on the river."
 * "When Dunwall is free again, I am going to make a fortune on the patents I developed in this very room. I may buy this place from Havelock for old times' sake."

Loudspeaker announcement

 * "It is every citizen's duty to report treasonous speech and actions. The state depends on you."

Arrival
Samuel Beechworth and Corvo Attano approach the Distillery District by boat.

"I'll get you as close as I can to the Golden Cat, Corvo. You'll have to go to the rest of the way on your own. The entrance is near Holger Square.

The main thing is to make sure that little girl, Emily, gets back all safe and sure.

''Them two Pendletons are there, so I'm guessin' there'll be a lotta guards. Slackjaw might have some ideas on helping you get inside the Cat. If he don't kill ya.''

''This here's his territory. He and his Bottle Street gang hole up at the old Dunwall Whiskey factory.''

They sell the elixir that folks use to fight off the plague."

Samuel steps out of the boat.

"I'll lay low, but keep an eye out for you and the little lady you're bringing back. Good luck to ya. I know Emily must mean a lot to you."

Guards try to extort a survivor
Two City Watch Guards try to take elixir from a survivor on Gaff Street.

Guard 1: "You filthy mud lark! Where'd a tramp like you get elixir?"

Guard 2: "We've been on half rations for a week! I ain't catchin' the plague. Hand it over!"

Survivor: "No, please! It's for my baby! He needs it!"

Guard 1: "It's us that needs it! If the City Watch get sick, how are we gonna protect you?"

Survivor: "Protect me?"

Guard 2: "You grab her! I'll get the elixir!"

Guard 1: "You're gonna rot in a cell 'till you die, thief!"

Survivor: "No! I found it! It's for my baby! Help! Someone please help me!"

Guard 1: "Go ahead and yell! Ain't no one can hear you!"

Survivor: "No! I need it for my little one! So he won't get sick! I didn't steal the elixir! I'm not a thief!"

Guards attack the survivor.

[When the survivor is saved] Survivor: "You saved me! How can I thank you? I have nothing…"

[Activated] Survivor: "Wait. Take this. It's the back door service key to Bunting's house - the art dealer on the main street. I used to work for him, you know, before the plague. He's let all his servants go, but he's still there. Probably hoping he'll be able to sell something from that safe of his. I don't know what he has left, but it's all I have to offer you. Please take it."

Granny Rags

 * "Come on, come to dinner now. That's right, my sweet little birds. Come to Granny. Granny won't hurt you."
 * "My gentlemen callers don't come around like they used to. You took care of it for me, didn't you? That's nice." (Only if the still was poisoned.)

"Who's that? I can't see. No, don't go. Let Granny Rags tell you a story. It won't cost you anything at all.

''Which would you like? The history of the great city of Dunwall? No, no, that's not for you. No, no. You want the tale of Empress Jessamine Kaldwin! Regal, fair-minded, she brought prosperity to the city, hope to all, then violently murdered these six months ago!''

''Nothing's been the same since her death! Poor child! Her spirit lives on - trapped - misused - and for what purpose?''

''But here is the worst part - it was a man she trusted over all others that did the deed! They say he's in league with the Outsider, and that he won't rest until everyone in Dunwall is dead! Dead and cold!! Ha, ha!''

''Now, Granny Rags has told you a tale, so maybe you'll tell it to someone else later. Change up the ending a bit if you want. Hmmm?"''


 * "No coin? Granny won't forget. No she won't."
 * "Have you seen him? The handsome one, with the beautiful dark eyes? I just want to tell him I'm doing my part. Yes, Granny Rags is doing her part. Tell him, won't you? If you see him."
 * "Stop fussing with my collar, mama! The dance is starting soon! Is my hair smooth enough? He's sure to be there!"
 * "Coo, coo. Coo, little birds. I've got some seed for you."
 * "They'll do what Granny says. I hear them laughing. But then they'll see what I can do."
 * "No, no. Don't take anything else! I did what you said! It's just they wouldn't listen. Give me another chance, won't you? Darling? Let me prove myself to you!"
 * "Did you see his eyes? We're to be married, and soon too, in front of one of his shrines. Once I finish this one last task."
 * "Can't be! Dearie? Is that you? No. No, you're dead. Dead, dead, dead."
 * "Just a sweet old woman. blind and helpless. Take no mind of me. Let me go about my business."
 * "Don't you give me any trouble. Granny Rags can't see, but she's got the Sight. Understand?"
 * "Nothing's ever easy with you, is it? What a state you're in! Now I'll have to set the dogs on you. Finish the job. Why? Because I've met someone new…"

Officers on Walls of Light
Officer 1: "How does it work?"

Officer 2: "What, the Wall of Light? Isn't it a wonder? It's one of Sokolov's latest inventions. They say the idea came to him in a vision."

Officer 1: "Yes, yes, but, do you know how it works?"

Officer 2: "I really couldn't say, but all the hairs on your body stand up when you walk through it. Keep your men from tampering with it."

Samuel Beechworth

 * "Be careful going up the street, Corvo. A river-hand I know pulled alongside me last night and said there's one of those Watchtowers on Clavering now. I guess you gettin' rid of Campbell shook up the Lord Regent."
 * "Remember what I told ya. If you need a man what knows the ins and outs of this city, especially the gutter-side parts, you should find Slackjaw. Watch yerself though."
 * "Something you ought to know, there've been more weepers in the area lately. Some plague-sick folks must have been hiding out in the warehouses down off Bottle Street."
 * "I'll lay low, but keep an eye out for you. Good luck to ya."
 * "Yer not havin' trouble finding the Golden Cat, are ya? Fanciest bar in the City. Surprised you don't know where it is."
 * "We can't go back 'til you've taken care of Lord Pendleton's older brothers. Remember?"
 * "Did you forget the young lady? Emily? She's the most important part of this trip, I believe."

I-rony
Two Bottle Street thugs outside the Distillery discuss their plague-infected peers.

Thug 1: "I don't think they're gonna last much longer in there."

Thug 2: "That's what they get for takin' free swigs from the still. That tainted elixir is bad stuff, I guess."

Thug 1: "It's what they call i-rony, I think. Elixir is suppose to prevent the plague sickness, fight it off. But someone poisoned the bootleg still and now we got elixir that gives you the plague."

Thug 2: "I don't think that's what that word means, idiot."

Thug 1: "Oh, well how would I know. It's some other word then. Anyway, I almost feel sorry for the poor fools that drank the bad elixir."

Drink 'til ya drop
Two Bottle Street thugs inside the Distillery talk about the bootleg Elixir.

Thug 1: "Easy, easy! You just need a bit!"

Thug 2: "Ain't you heard? Slackjaw keeps the good stuff fer himself. Rest of us get one part elixir, three parts waterdown."

Thug 1: "Aw, that's just to make the swallowin' go smooth."

Thug 2: "Well I ain't take no chances on gettin' the plague! Drink 'til ya drop. That's my motto."

Dyscalculia
Two thugs argue when Corvo returns to the distillery:

Thug 1: "Hey, hey, hey. Wait a bit! What just occurred to me?! How come it's always me who pay fer the whiskeys?"

Thug 2: "Shush up your mouth. You know I can't work up the right number of coin. It's embarrassing."

I think he's dead
Two City Watch Officers on the top floor investigate Crowley's corpse.

Officer 1: "What do ya think?"

Officer 2: "I think he's dead. Right?"

Officer 1: "I know that. I mean, do we have suspects?"

Officer 2: "Suspects? Wha- suspects?! We ain't gonna waste time solving who killed him! Personally, I'd buy who did it a drink."

Officer 1: "But what are ya gonna put on your report?"

Officer 2: "I'm gonna say we found one of Slackjaw's men inside, all dead and bloody, and that you're a stinkin' idiot."

Guard payment
Two City Watch Guards discuss their pay on the ground floor.

Guard 1: "How much they pay you?"

Guard 2: "I ain't telling you that."

Guard 1: "Come on. A coin? Two? More?"

Guard 2: "Watcha mean? They pay you in coin? Ha, ha, I get mine in bottles."

Guard 1: "Paid in drink? Oh you lucky bastard. How much they give you?"

Guard 2: "I said I ain't tellin' you that."

No Appreciation for Art
Two thugs critique Anton Sokolov's self-portrait.

Thug 1: "So this is art? Awful lousy way to make coin. Poor bastard. Stuff can't be worth nothin', can they?"

Thug 2: "Not a chance. I think I remember having seen this painting at my grandmother's place. And she wasn't no duchess."

Thug 1: "Yeah, prolly can't even sell it for junk. Not worth the time takin' it off the walls. I might go upstairs, see if them other two found something worth the trouble."

Brawns Over Brains
Two thugs try to open Bunting's safe.

Thug: "Come on, Stu. One more try. They wouldn't have such a strong door 'less they kept some interesting things on its other side."

Stu: "I'm tellin' ya, it won't budge. Not even a bit. And I think I bruised out my shoulder."

Thug: "Stop yer cryin' and give another shove. Just imagine what could be behind it. That'll gitcha through the pain."

Stu: "If yer so sure, then you shove it."

Courtesan tries to seduce Officer
A courtesan wants to perform a deed with a City Watch Officer in exchange for money near the the Golden Cat.

Courtesan: "Hey sweetheart, you want to play with me? You're a lot cuter than my regulars."

City Watch Officer: "Sorry lady, I'm on duty."

Courtesan: "I'm on duty too. Want me to show you?"

City Watch Officer: "You want me to lose my job? Get lost."

Courtesan: "Excuse me! Just trying to make a living."

Guard explains his hypothesis to Officer
A City Watch Guard tries to convince a City Watch Officer of his theory on the plague rats' origins near the Golden Cat.

City Watch Guard: "I say we take the fight to them."

City Watch Officer: "There's no proof."

City Watch Guard: "The rats are the proof."

City Watch Officer: "They're still just rats."

City Watch Guard: "Just rats? Rats that can strip a corpse to nothing in seconds. That's from the continent. I got a cousin, a trader, said he saw shit like that, and much much worse."

City Watch Officer: "Even if you're right, what do we do?"

City Watch Guard: "Send a fleet to the continent, burn the whole country down. That'd show them."

Officer in the Steam Room
City Watch Officer: "That's wonderful! How did you know how to do that?"

Courtesan: "Most of the women here were farm-girls whose parents sold them to the Madame. I trained in the school at Samara, the finest in the world. I trained in a great many things."

City Watch Officer: "Morgan and Custis are gonna take hours. They always do."

Courtesan: "Tell me, then. How can I satisfy you?"

City Watch Officer: "Could you … well, there's a part of me that's never been the same since I was in the fighting pits. There was a hound, and…"

Courtesan: "You're not the only one this happens to."

Arrival
Samuel Beechworth, Emily Kaldwin and Corvo Attano approach the Hound Pits Pub by boat.

Samuel: "So you did the business, did you, Corvo? I'm not one to speak against my betters, mind you, but anybody deserved their fate it was those Pendletons."

Emily: "What business are you talking about?"

Samuel: "Oh! I, uh… Grown up business, girl. I mean, your ladyship! Forgive me."

Emily: "It's okay. I heard a lot of grown up business at the Golden Cat."

Samuel: "Oh. I should concentrate on piloting this boat."

Emily and Corvo step out of the boat and approach the waiting servants. Corvo takes off his mask. The servants bow to Emily.

Callista: "Young lady Emily, I'm Callista. I'll be caring for you and schooling you while you're with us."

Emily: "Pleased to meet you."

Callista: "As am I. Would you like to see your room, in the tower?"

Emily: "Can I see it?"

Callista: "Yes, you may. You'll get to see it all, the entirety of the Hound Pits."

Emily: "Good. I think I'll like it here. I'll go with Callista, Corvo. I'll see you later."

Havelock joins Corvo as Emily and the servants leave the docks.

Havelock: "You do not fail to impress. Armed with a blade, you've changed the course of the city forever, and with the Pendleton twins gone, our own Lord Pendleton will assume their votes in parliament. In one night you've done more than most men do in a lifetime. I need to speak to you soon, but for now Lord Pendleton requests your attention."

Lord Pendleton confides to Corvo
"Corvo, the Loyalist Conspiracy thanks you for your work. I don't know if I can. My own brothers…

''We never believed that you killed the Empress. It made much more sense that the Royal Spymaster, now the Lord Regent, was behind it, aided by some of his key allies.''

''We spent a lot of money and exposed ourselves to great risk in getting you out of prison. But we did it because we believe that you're the that can make the difference.''

Oh, and Havelock's looking for you."

Briefing
Admiral Havelock tells Corvo his next task as he sits at a table in the bar with Overseer Martin.

"Martin's devised our next move. There's a footnote in Campbell's journal that tells us the Lord Regent's mistress sat for a portrait with Sokolov, the painter and Royal Physician. He'll be able to give us her name.

''Sokolov lives on Kaldwin's Bridge about half the time, out over the river. The catch is that I'm afraid you've got to head out right away, while Sokolov is at his apartment on the Bridge.''

''Samuel can get you close to the Bridge, but you'll have to find Sokolov. Bring him back here, intact, and it'll enable us to make our next move.''

''I can't believe what you've done so far, escaping from Coldridge, taking down the High Overseer, recovering Emily. You make this old military man proud.''

That's it, then."

Emily thinks about her mother's death
Emily: "Callista, I don't want to look around right now."

Callista: "Of course. We can give you the tour later, when you've rested."

Emily: "I was wondering, do you think my mother is really dead? I saw her get stabbed, but maybe she was still alive and got better. Is that possible?"

Callista: "I'm sorry, Emily. But no. She did not survive…"

Emily: "Oh… Did you go to her funeral? Was it fancy and beautiful?"

Callista: "A train of carriages rode through the city. It was very beautiful. Flowers everywhere, and thousands of people wept because they will miss her."

Emily: "I wish I could have seen it."

Callista: "I'm sorry, dear."

Emily Kaldwin

 * "This place isn't as pretty as the Golden Cat, but I like it better anyway."
 * "You can see the tower across the river from here. That's where my mother died."
 * "Sometimes I wonder about that man who stabbed my mother. Who was he?"
 * "So I get to stay in a smaller tower while I live here? That'll be good practice."
 * "I like Samuel. Perhaps we can take another boat ride soon."

Farley Havelock

 * "Sokolov's unpredictable. And as head of the Academy of Natural Philosophy, he's an odd bird to be sure."
 * "You showed skill in dealing with the Pendletons. I'm impressed. When a fight starts in a brothel, well – I've seen it go poorly."
 * "You know Sokolov, don't you? They say genius and madness are so finely balanced in his personality that no one can tell the difference."
 * "Sokolov's on the Bridge right now but he's given to late-night wanderings. Best to move as soon as possible. He's one of the keys to this puzzle, to putting things right."
 * "If we could bring him to our side, think what he and Piero could accomplish together."

Teague Martin

 * "Campbell's journal, it's amazing how many Overseers he'd been blackmailing. It really is the key to the Abbey."
 * "Your work at the Golden Cat was something for the poets, Corvo. Both target eliminated and Emily delivered to us without so much as a bump or bruise."
 * "The city is better off without the men you took care of, those loutish twins. And now Lord Pendleton can slow down the Lord Regent in Parliament. Gum up the works."
 * "Bit by bit, we're winning. Let's just hope the city lasts long enough for us to make things right again."

Treavor Pendleton

 * "Where's Wallace? Wallace? You're promoted, wherever you are. Head lackey!"
 * "I suppose this means I'll have to have children. Or else recognize one of my bastards."
 * "This will be a new beginning for the Pendletons, I'll make sure of that."
 * "Lord of Pendleton Manor. If Waverly could see me now."

Callista Curnow

 * "I've been planning for Emily. Lesson plans are together. A schedule is prepared. We will make life as normal as possible here."
 * "The horrors she has seen. But all that's almost over."
 * "Now is my time to show my worth in this coalition."
 * "I knew this was why they brought me here, but I didn't want to say it out loud lest it not happen. Superstitious, I know."

Wallace Higgins

 * "It is a difficult time for the family. Perhaps we should not speak."
 * "I must fetch the mourning garments. His lordship never looked well in black."
 * "If only there had been another way…"
 * "I had always hoped to see the Pendleton name redeemed. For the first time in years, it seems possible."

Lydia Brooklaine

 * "I hope his Lordship is taking this well. Pendleton, I mean. I do worry about the poor man."
 * "I'll be giving your quarters a good scrubbing. I hope you don't mind having a lady in your room."
 * "I envy your trip to the Golden Cat. They must have gorgeous gowns."
 * "You startled me! You move so silently, you could have been a dancer."
 * "A night at the Golden Cat, Corvo? I wonder if it's your first time…"

Cecelia

 * "Hello Mr. Corvo. I'll be getting on with my work, then…"
 * "The Admiral says sounds travels for miles over water. I'm afraid even to sneeze."
 * "Why doesn't anyone listen to me? I feel like a ghost."
 * "I've been practicing my curtsey, but it's not going well."
 * "I don't mind helping Wallace. He gives me the dirty work, but that's what I do. I'm accepting of that. Someone has to do it, right?"
