	sound\vo\cavejohnson\cavefind_intro01.wav	Greetings, friend. It's Cave Johnson, CEO of Aperture Science.
	sound\vo\cavejohnson\cavefind_intro02.wav	Down here! [pause] On the floor.
	sound\vo\cavejohnson\cavefind_intro03.wav	Down here. On the floor.
	sound\vo\cavejohnson\cavefind_intro04.wav	Uh, down here. Yeah, down here.
	sound\vo\cavejohnson\cavefind_intro05.wav	That's right! It's really me. My entire living consciousness, for all eternity, inside a machine.
	sound\vo\cavejohnson\cavefind_intro06.wav	Alone. On a dirty floor. In an abandoned room. At the bottom of a pit.
	sound\vo\cavejohnson\cavefind_intro07.wav	Oh, please kill me.
	sound\vo\cavejohnson\cavefind_intro08.wav	[Laughs] Oh, please kill me.
	sound\vo\cavejohnson\cavefind_intro09.wav	My life is torture, please kill me.
	sound\vo\cavejohnson\cavefind_meetup01.wav	Hold on a second. Is that you, Caroline?
	sound\vo\cavejohnson\cavefind_meetup02.wav	You were my assistant! The heart and soul of Aperture Science! You don't remember?
	sound\vo\cavejohnson\cavefind_meetup03.wav	See, the science boys invented me a machine to house my consciousness in. But that sounded DANGEROUS, so I volunteered you to go first. Like a food taster, except with your soul! [chuckling] Guess they must've found a use for you after all. Oh! Which reminds me. I do need you both to kill me.
	sound\vo\cavejohnson\cavefind_meetup04.wav	What were we talking about again? That's right: you killing me. Both of you killing me.
	sound\vo\cavejohnson\cavefind_meetup05.wav	Oh, but I could go on for days. What were we talking about before? Oh, that's right: you killing me.
	sound\vo\cavejohnson\cavefind_meetup06.wav	Now, before you say no, I want you to remember that I've lived a full life. Also, if this helps seal the deal, livin' in a computer this long's made me crazy. That's right: I am insane.
	sound\vo\cavejohnson\cavefind_meetup07.wav	Wait. I suppose tellin' you I'm not in my right mind could sway you to not unplugging me. Let me round back on the important parts: in a computer. Ceaseless torture. Monster in the eyes of god. So why don't you get on over here and unplug ol' Cave.
	sound\vo\cavejohnson\cavefind_meetup08.wav	Just pick me right up, don't be shy.
	sound\vo\cavejohnson\cavefind_meetup09.wav	All you got to do to unplug me is pick me up.
	sound\vo\cavejohnson\cavefind_meetup10.wav	Come on, kill me. Just pick me up.
	sound\vo\cavejohnson\cavefind_meetup11.wav	Come on, be a sport and kill me. All you gotta do is pick me up.
	sound\vo\cavejohnson\cavefind_meetup12.wav	Plug's in the back of me. Give me a good pull, it should pop right out.
	sound\vo\cavejohnson\cavefind_meetup13.wav	All you got to do is pick me up.
	sound\vo\cavejohnson\cavefind_shutdown01.wav	Ho ho! I can feel myself shuttin' down. Man, this is excitin'.
	sound\vo\cavejohnson\cavefind_shutdown02.wav	Oh! Room's gettin' dark. That's a good sign.
	sound\vo\cavejohnson\cavefind_shutdown03.wav	I'm comin' for you, Caroline!
	sound\vo\cavejohnson\cavefind_shutdown04.wav	Ten–four!
	sound\vo\cavejohnson\cavefind_shutdown05.wav	Thank you, Caroline.
	sound\vo\cavejohnson\cavefind_shutdown06.wav	Alright! Too much jawin', not enough dyin'. Here I go! Ah.
	sound\vo\cavejohnson\cavefind_shutdown07.wav	Here I go! The great beyond! Valhalla, home of Hercules! I can hear them winged chariots thunderin' over now!

sound\vo\cavejohnson\diorama01.wav	Welcome, friend. I'm Cave Johnson, founder and CEO of Aperture Science, the best damn applied sciences company on Earth. Now, maybe you're asking yourself, "Cave, where am I? When can I leave? Am I in danger?" Let me answer them questions with a question: who's ready for a science adventure? Yeah!	sp_under_cave_transition_1
sound\vo\cavejohnson\diorama02.wav	Science isn't about why, it's about why not. People ask me, "Why is so much of our science dangerous?" I say, "Why not marry safe science if you love it so much?" In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you on the ass on the way out, cuz you're fired!	sp_under_cave_transition_1
sound\vo\cavejohnson\diorama03.wav	I want you to know a lot of folks and animals gave their lives so you could run this test today, and you're making them proud.	sp_under_cave_transition_2
sound\vo\cavejohnson\diorama04.wav	Working here takes a certain breed of scientist. Opinionated go-getters, gutsy mavericks... When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade! Make life take them lemons back! Demand to see life's manager! Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! That's right! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!	sp_under_cave_transition_2
