Sam

I'd rather save them for something I really want.

A response for trying to use the Stack o' Tokens on any random person. Since every person at that point in the game has a unique response for that, this response isn't needed.

38804224

Sam

A bug, in more ways than one.

Early dialogue for examining the Organic Listening Device from inventory. The bug talks back to you in the final game.

38821632

Sam

No use in bugging that.

The original failure message for the Organic Listening Device. In the final game, the bug scolds you instead.

38835200

Bug

If it don't TALK, I can't bug it!

An alternate line for trying to use the O.L.D. on a generic object.

38825216

Sam

I don't think that can be hypnotized.

Early version of the Altered Bear's failure message. The line used in the game is "I doubt I could hypnotize that."

Sam

Hello, operator? Get me anybody but you! I have an urgent crank call to make!

38581376

Sam

No, I don't have anything better to do. Unless you count saving the entire universe from the growing menace of the Toy Mafia.

A second telephone dialogue. Doesn't make a lot of sense with the way it's recorded, though.

38548352

Sam

Yo' mama's so rotund...

38548736

Max

she tried out a hoola-hoop and ended up with a belt!

Neither the setup nor the punchline for this hi-larious maternal insult are used.

38541952

Sam

Yo' mama's so ugly...

This is the setup for Max's punchline, "she beat out Sam for Best in Show!" but Sam never gets a chance to say it.

38544896

Max

she beat out her own dog for Best in Show!

38546048

Max

she beat out Sam for Worst in Show!

38550784

Max

she entered herself in a dog show and lost!

Yo' mama's so thorough, she included four different responses for "Yo' mama's so ugly..."

38549376

Sam

Yo' mama's so hairy...

"...she knitted a sweater with all her own materials!" This isn't in Sam's list of setup lines, though.

Sam

Uh ooh!

Sam would say this when the anti-delivery system sucks up any item on the sale table. It was replaced by the far better "Great Coleco's ghost!" line.

38063232

Bug

AAAAHH!

38063360

Max

I'll get him!

38063488

Bug

Brings back memories of 'Nam!

This unique dialogue would have been triggered by placing the Organic Listening Device on the sale table.

33693056

Sam

He wanted to thumb wrestle. But the size of our digits scared him.

This line is the reason why Cuddly Bear gives Sam & Max a thumbs up after placing the teddy bear on the sale table, but the line was cut anyway.

33826048

Max

Sam, please. I can't bare to see my two best friends fighting.

Probably meant to play after Bosco's line "Oh yeah, you're real busy. You done nothin' but loiter around my store all day!"

Sam

You can relax now, Sybil.

38022016

Sybil

Easy for you to say.

After Sam successfully fakes Sybil's death, talking to her again should prompt this dialogue. Instead, she just acts like she's still under watch from the Toy Mafia.

38022144

Sam

No, really, you can relax. We took care of everything.

38022272

Sybil

Sure you did.

The next bit of dialogue for the above.

38022400

Sam

The Toy Mafia will leave you alone now. We faked your death for you!

38022528

Max

It was gruesome!

38022656

Sybil

Amazing how you did that without my participating, or even noticing for that matter.

38022784

Max

Yes, it was!

The final post-Toy Mafia conversation.

Sam

You know the only thing better than a toy train winding its way around a room?

38227328

Max

A flaming toy train winding its way around a room?

38227456

Sam

That too.

There's a toy train that runs on a track above the card tables, but it can't be clicked upon.

38227968

Sam

I'd probably sever my hand if I tried, and then somebody would find my severed hand and mount it on their wall.

38244352

Max

It happens to the best of us.

If the toy train were an actual hotspot, trying to use a generic item on the train would produce this response.

38732160

Sam

I can see that guy's head reflected on here.

Sam never notices Leonard's head in the clown's nose in the final game. What a sentence.

38135424

Dealer

Welcome to Whack-A-Rat.

The "Whack Da Ratz" machine was originally known as "Whack-A-Rat", a direct reference to the machine in Sam & Max Hit the Road. The name might have been obscured for legal reasons.

38249344

Sam

Wanna see something?

38250624

Dealer

No.

A failure response for trying to give the Cuddly Bear / the dealer a generic item. He has responses for every item you could possibly carry at this point in the game.

38269312

Sam

Who's the talkative fellow with the derby and the more-than-recreational interest in our card game?

38269440

Dealer

You don't know?

38278912

Dealer

That's Chuckles, the pit boss.

38273408

Max

PIT boss? No one tells MY pits what to do!

38273536

Sam

It's true. My requests to curtail the armpit flatulence have fallen on deaf pits.

38275712

Max

My pits were put on this Earth for a reason Sam, and I intend to use them.

Originally, Chuckles would have been a more obvious presence in the casino. In the final game, he only pops in briefly after Sam "wins" on the One-Armed Bandit slot machine.

38279040

Sam

Who's the guy that watches us play?

38278912

Dealer

That's Chuckles, the pit boss.

This is just a subsequent response for asking what Chuckles' deal is.

37352832

Sam

Lemme show you something, Leonard.

33856640

Leonard

If it ain't your money, I ain't interested!

Just like the dealer, Leonard has a response for every item you can carry at the point when you meet him, so this line isn't used.

37353216

Leonard

Leave me alone!

Another generic item response, but this Leonard is a sad Leonard.

33603328

Sam

The password is... Antwerp.

Of the 10 possible responses for trying to brute-force the password, this is the only one that isn't used.

It's either a reference to the Antwerp in Sierra's Quest for Glory, or it's just a reference to the city of Antwerp in Beligum. Pick one.

37671168

Max

What? I like the taste!

An extra line for Max after Sam denies him the right to taste a fifty-year-old sandwich.

Sam

This stuff's very nice! But somehow I think what's behind the Pain Of Death door is probably more important.

Before Telltale wrote unique responses for every item in Ted E. Bear's office, clicking on any object back there gave this response.

This thing is pumping out insidious hypnotic bears at a frightening rate! It's got to be stopped!

35792512

Sam

And so does Harry Moleman, for that matter.

Clicking on the machinery in the north-east corner of the room should give this response, but it'll just give one of the generic machine responses instead.

The subtitle says "Harry Moleman", but in the actual sound file, Sam says "Ted E. Bear". Since Sam doesn't know Harry's name at this point, it's likely that the line was corrected and the subtitles were just never updated.

You will die at the hands of the Toy Mafia. Not that we're Mafia.

38317696

Chuckles

Say whatever prayers are customary for your species, you're dead.

38319872

Chuckles

Prepare to meet your manufacturer.

Three different car chase taunts from Chuckles. He's oddly silent in the final game -- compare him to the chatty skinbody rats in episode 2.

38248192

Chuckles

This is not good.

38289920

Chuckles

Get out of the way.

38290432

Max

Almost got 'em!

38318336

Chuckles

Watch it.

After almost hitting Chuckles with one of the Prismatology signs, one of these lines was meant to play.

38291456

Max

It pains me to say it, but it'll take more than bullets to stop these guys!

This line was never properly linked in game. It should play after trying to shoot the car, but instead, Sam gives one of his default "Nope" failure messages.

env_playingcards

Just a couple of generic playing cards.

env_signoutoforder

The "OUT OF ORDER" sign from this texture is used, but not this one.

env_slotmachinefarm

For some reason, Telltale saw fit to include an an entire set of farm-themed symbols for the out of order slot machine. The only one used in the game is the cow.

env_slotmachinepay

Straight and to the point6 Tokens per Play

There are two broken slot machines in the casino, but only the "Bet The Farm" machine is ever fully on camera.
