Unused Dialogue

This is a sub-page of Sam & Max Hit the Road.

Unused Dialogue#

These are voice clips that are supposed to be called by in-game scripts, except they never are because the conditions to do so just can't be met. There are some recordings using what appears to be leftover dialogue from the Computer Entertainment Show (CES) prototype, and basically any obsolete, even development-related SCUMM say-line events have their own vocal counterpart.

All offsets are relative to the file monster.sou. The subtitle of each piece of dialogue is taken from the game's files, with the notable exception of the Unused Dialogue With No Subtitles section.

Sam & Max's Office#

Dialogue that would have once been triggered by looking at the Antenna for a second time in a playthrough. This matches the subtitle used in the interactive demo.

Snuckey's Interior#

Used when looking at the merchandise with var240 set to 1:

Used when looking at the merchandise with var240 set to 6:

Used when looking at the merchandise with var240 set to 3:

Used when trying to pick up merchandise with var239 set to 0:

Used when trying to ask Snuckey's Employee about merchandise he doesn't have dialogue for:

Dinosaur Tarpit#

When looking at the line of children for the first time, Sam comments "This line's not moving very quickly."

This dialogue specfically overrides Max making the same joke if Max is trapped in the Dunk the Beast tank. There's no way to get to this room without freeing Max from the tank.

Asking Max about Snuckey's Video Game#

A short conversation that would have been used for asking Max about either of the Snuckey's Video Games.

Asking Max about Snuckey's Flip Book#

Dialogue that would have been used for asking Max about the Snuckey's Flip Books.

The response given by Max would be the same as the one used for the Paper Dolls: "I say we go down to the scummy side of town and give a bunch of hoods some paper cuts."

Unused Dialogue With No Subtitles#

Dialogue with no scripts or subtitles remaining in the game's files. It's pretty obvious what most of them are intended for, while others are a bit more mysterious.

Snuckey's Interior#

This dialogue isn't referenced in the game's scripts anymore, for obvious reasons. It appears at offsets 0x7290C9B, 0x72AF85C, and 0x72CE05D.

Hall of Oddities#

This is a duplicate of a used line, but the used one has Shep Kushman also saying "Bruno!" dubbed over it, as the conjoined Kushman Brothers say it in unison.

Savage Jungle Inn Lobby#

This unused line is stored right between lines Evelyn Morrison uses to respond to Sam saying "Nice outfit." Interestingly, the clip contains the line twice.

Bigfoot Convention#

This dialogue is stored amongst the lines for talking to the bigfoot eating food to the right of the table. It seems to be an earlier version of the "Gotta go." line.

This dialogue is stored immediately after two used lines of Max failing to pronounce abominable snowman and giving up. Maybe he would have pronounced it correctly in the end.

Door Dialogue#

This dialogue is similar to dialogue usually found in SCUMM games for interacting with doors that are already open or closed, but this game made the unique decision to have only one Use action instead of the option to Open or Close any object.
