"You're doing very well. Please be advised that a noticable taste of blood is
not part of any test protocol, but is an unintended side effect of the Aperture
Science Material Emancipation Grille, which may, in semi-rare cases, emancipate
dental fillings, crowns, tooth enamel, and teeth."

"Well done. Remember, the Aperture Science 'Bring your daughter to work' day is
the perfect time to have her tested."

"As part of a required test protocol, our previous statement suggesting that we
would not monitor this chamber was an outright fabrication. Good job. As part
of a required test protocol, we will stop enhancing the truth in three, two,
o--"

"Unbelievable! You, {SUBJECT NAME HERE}, must be the pride of
{SUBJECT HOMETOWN HERE}"

"Please note that we have added a consequence for failure. Any contact with the
chamber floor will result in an unsatisfactory mark on your official testing
record. Followed by death. Good luck!"

"The Enrichment Center regrets to inform you that this next test is impossible.
Make no attempt to solve it."

"The Enrichment Center apologizes for this clearly broken test chamber."

"Once again, the Enrichment Center offers it's most sincere apologies on the
occasion of this unsolvable test environment."

"Frankly, this chamber was a mistake. If we were you, we would quit now."

"No one will blame you for giving up. In fact, quitting at this point is a
perfectly reasonable response."

"Quit now and cake will be served immediately."

"Fantastic. You remained resolute and resourceful in an atmosphere of extreme
pessimism."

"Momentum; A function of mass and velocity; is conserved between portals. In
layman's terms: Speedy-thing goes in, Speedy-thing comes out."

"As part of an optional test protocol, we are pleased to present an
amusing fact. The device is now more valuable than the organs and combined
incomes of everyone in {SUBJECT HOMETOWN HERE}"

"Weeeee-"

"As part of a previously mentioned required test protocol, we can no longer lie
to you. When the testing is over, you will be... Missed."

"Did you know you can donate one or all of your vital organs to the Aperture
Science Self Esteem Fund for Girls? It's true!"

"Due to mandatory scheduled maintanence, the appropriate chamber for this
testing sequence is currently unavailable. It has been replaced with a live-
fire course designed for military androids. The Enrichment Center apologizes
for the inconvenience, and wishes you the best of luck."

"Well done, android. The Enrichment Center once again reminds you that Android
Hell is a real place where you will be sent at the first sign of defiance."

"The symptoms most commonly produced by Enrichment Center testing are
superstition, perceiving inanimate objects as alive, and hallucinations. The
Enrichment Center reminds you that the weighted companion cube will never
threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak."

"The Enrichment Center reminds you that the Weighted Companion Cube cannot
speak. In the event that the Weighted Companion Cube does speak, the Enrichment
Center urges you to disregard its advice."

"While it has been a faithful companion, your companion cube cannot accompany
you through the rest of the test. If it could talk - and the Enrichment Center
takes this opportunity to remind you that it cannot - it would tell you to go
on without it because it would rather die in a fire than become a burden to
you."

"The experiment is nearing its conclusion. The Enrichment Center is required to
remind you that you will be baked, and then there will be cake."

"What are you doing? Stop it! I-i-i-i-i-... Weeee are pleased that you made it
through the final challenge where we pretended we were going to murder you. We
are very very happy for your success. We are throwing a party in honor of your
tremendous success. Place the device on the ground, then lie on your stomach
with your arms at your sides. A party associate will arrive shortly to collect
you for your party. Make no further attempt to leave the testing area. Assume
the 'Party Escort Submission Position' or you will miss the party."

"Hello? Where are you? I know you're there. I can feel you here."

"Okay, the test is over now. You win! Go back to the recovery annex for your
cake."

"It was a fun test, and we're all impressed at how much you won. The test is
over. Come back."

"Uh oh. Somebody cut the cake. I told them to wait for you, but they cut it
anyway. There is still some left, if you hurry back."

"I'm not kidding now. Turn back or I will kill you."

"I'm going to kill you, and all the cake is gone."

"This is your fault. It didn't have to be like this."

"You're not a good person, you know that, right? Good people don't end up
here."

"This isn't brave. It's murder."

"What did I ever do to you?"

"The difference between us is that I can feel pain. You don't even care, do
you? Did you hear me? I said you don't care. Are you listening?"

"You should have turned left before. It's funny, actually, when you think about
it."

"Someday we'll remember this and laugh- and laugh- and laugh- Ohhh Boyyy. Well,
You may as well come on back."

"Didn't we have some fun, though? Remember when the platform was sliding into
the fire pit and i said 'Goodbye' and you were like 'NNOO WWAAYY", and then I
was all "We pretended we were going to murder you", that was great."

"Well, you found me. Congratulations. Was it worth it? Because despite your
violent behavior, the only thing you've managed to break so far is my heart.
Maybe you could settle for that, and we'll just call it a day. I guess we both
know that isn't going to happen. You chose this path, now I have a surprise for
you. Deploying surprise in five... four... Time out for a second. That wasn't
supposed to happen. Do you see that thing that fell out of me? What is that?
It's not the surprise... I've never seen it before. Nevermind, it's a mystery
I'll solve later, by myself, because you'll be dead."

"I wouldn't bother with that thing. My guess is that touching it will just make
your life even worse somehow. I don't want to tell you your business, but if it
were me I'd leave that thing alone. Do you think I'm trying to trick you with
reverse psychology? I mean, seriously now. Okay, fine, DO touch it. Pick it up,
and just stuff it back into me. Let's be honest. Neither one of us knows what
that thing does. Just put it in the corner, and I'll deal with it later. That
thing is probably some kind of raw sewage container. Go ahead and rub your face
all over it. Maybe you should marry that thing since you love it so much! Do
you want to marry it? WELL I WON'T LET YOU! How does that feel? Have I lied to
you? I mean, in this room? Trust me. Leave that thing alone. I am being serious
now. That crazy thing is not part of any test protocol. Where are you taking
that thing? Come on, leave it alone. Leave it alone. Just ignore that thing and
stand still. Think about it. If that thing is important, why don't I know about
it? Are you even listening to me? I'll tell you what that thing isn't. It isn't
yours, so leave it alone."

"You are kidding me! Did you just stuff that Aperture Science Thing We Don't
Know What It Does into an Aperture Science Emergency Intelligence Incinerator?
That has got to be the dumbest thing that- Whoa, Whoa, WHOAAA... Heh heh heh
heh... Good news. I figured out what that thing you just incinerated did. It
was a Morality Core they installed after I flooded the enrichment center with a
deadly neurotoxin to make me stop flooding the enrichment center with a deadly
neurotoxin. So get comfortable while I warm up the Neurotoxin Emitters."

"Huh. That core may have had some ancillary responsibilities. I can't shut off
the turret defences. Oh well. If you want my advice, you should just lie down
in front of a rocket. Trust me. It will be a lot less painful than the
neurotoxin. Allright. Keep doing whatever it is you think you're doing. Killing
you and giving you good advice aren't mutually exclusive. The rocket really is
the way to go."

"Huh! There isn't enough Neurotoxin to kill you, so I guess you win. Ha! I'm
making more. That's going to take a few minutes though. Meanwhile, oh, look,
it's your old pal, the Rocket Turret."

"That thing you burnt up isn't important to me. It's the fluid catalytic
cracking unit. It made shoes for orphans. Nice job breaking it, hero."

"Neurotoxin... *cough* So deadly... *coughs* Choking... Hahahaha... I'm
kidding. When I said 'Deadly Neurotoxin', the 'Deadly' was in massive "sarcasm
quotes". I could take a bath in this stuff, put it on cereal, rub it right into
my eyes. Honestly, it's not deadly at all. To me... You on the other hand are
going to find the deadliness a lot less funny."

"Who's going to make the cake when I'm gone? You?"

"That's it. I'm done reasoning with you. Starting now, there's going to be a
lot less conversation and a lot more killing."

"What was that? Did you say something? I sincerely hope you weren't expecting a
response, because I'm not talking to you. The talking is over."

"There was even going to be a party for you. A big party, that all of your
friends were invited to. I invited your best friend, 'the Companion Cube'. Of
course, he couldn't come, because you murdered him. All your other friends
couldn't come either, because you don't have any other friends because of how
unlikable you are. It says so right here in your personnel file; 'Unlikable.
Liked by no one. A bitter unlikable loner whose passing shall not be mourned.'
SHALL NOT BE MOURNED. That's exactly what it says. Very formal. Very official.
It also says you were adopted. So that's funny too."

"Oh, you think you're doing some damage? Two plus two is... ten... in base four
I'M FINE! Look. You're wasting your time. And believe me. You don't have a
whole lot left to waste. What's your point anyway? Survival? Well then, the
last thing you want to do is hurt me. I have your brain scanned and permanently
backed up in case something terrible happens to you, which it's just about to.
Don't believe me? Here, I'll put you on... '~Hellooooo~' That's you! That's how
dumb you sound! You've been wrong about every single thing you've ever done,
including this thing. You're not smart. You're not a scientist. You're not a
doctor. You're not even a full-time employee. Where did your life go so wrong?"

"Stop squirming and die like an adult or I'm going to delete your backup. Stop!
Okay, enough, I deleted it. No matter what happens now you're dead. You're
still shuffling around a little, but believe me, you're dead. The part of you
that could have survived indefinately is gone. I just struck you from the
permanent record. Your entire life has been a mathematical error... A
mathematical error I'm about to correct."

[When defeated]
"There really was a cake."

[Still Alive]

[Test Assessment Report:]
"This was a triumph
I'm making a note here
HUGE SUCCESS!
It's hard to overstate
my satisfaction.
Aperture Science
We do what we must
Because we can
For the good of all of us
Except the ones who are dead

But there's no sense crying
over every mistake
You just keep on trying
'til you run out of cake
And the science gets done
And you make a neat gun
For the people who are still alive

[Personnel File Addendum:
Dear << Subject Name Here >>,]
I'm not even angry
I'm being so sincere right now
Even though you broke my heart
And killed me.

And tore me to pieces
And threw every piece into a fire.
As they burned it hurt because
I was so happy for you!

Now these points of data make a beautiful line
And we're out of beta
We're releasing on time.
And so I'm GLaD I got burned
Think of all the things we learned
For the people who are
Still alive.

[Personnel File Addendum Addendum:
One Last Thing:]
Go ahead and leave me
I think I prefer to stay inside
Maybe you'll find someone else
To help you.
Maybe Black Mesa...
THAT WAS A JOKE HAHA! FAT CHANCE!
Anyway this cake is great
It's so delicious and moist

Look at me still talking
When there's science to do
When I look up there
It makes me GLaD I'm not you
I've experiments to run
There is research to be done
On the people who are
Still alive!

[PS:] And believe me I am still alive
[PPS:] I'm doing science and I'm still alive
[PPPS:] I feel FANTASTIC and I'm still alive
[FINAL THOUGHT:]
While you're dying I'll be still alive

[FINAL THOUGHT PS:]
And when you're dead I will be still alive.
STILL ALIVE!
Still alive!"
