Unused Dialogue

This is a sub-page of UNBEATABLE.

The game has a handful of scripted dialogue trees with no means to trigger, so they went unused.

Episode 2#

C1_Start_Twins_Arrested#

"Cop 2" in this sequence has voicelines, but they were disabled in a postlaunch update. The developers intend to replace these lines in a future update.

Beat: The way corn detasseling works is this:

Beat: They throw a ton of kids (and it's always kids) on a giant metal rig.

Beat: You're not really strapped in or seated. You just kind of hold on to the side.

Beat: Everyone gets these itchy, shitty, sweaty gloves,

Beat: and is told to pick the tassels off the corn.

Beat: This is so that the corn can't pollinate itself.

Beat: Because if it does, they can't use the seeds for a hybrid plant.

Beat: The purpose of the hybrid plant is to make it produce more corn.

Beat: So that they can sell more corn and corn by-products.

Beat: Anyway, the kids pick the tassels off as the rig goes through the field.

Beat: It does this pretty fast.

Beat: Kids are slow.

Beat: They are not nice about it.

Brianna: I don't want to lose you, Beat.

Brianna: I'm so scared.

Brianna: I- you know I get mad.

Brianna: I know you know I get mad.

Brianna: And I hate when I get mad at you.

Brianna: ...

Brianna: Sometimes I get worried that you have some kind of god complex.

Brianna: You act like you can't die.

Brianna: But here you are, and you...

Brianna: You're not unbeatable, no matter how much I want you to be.

Brianna: The last thing we did before all of this was fight.

Brianna: And it was your fault, and I hate that.

Brianna: I really wish it wasn't your fault.
Brianna: Because then I'd be mad at myself and not you, and you're the one...

Brianna: I don't know if you can even hear anything I'm saying.

Brianna: But I say it because if I keep talking to you, you're still here.

Brianna: And if you're still here, I can get you back, maybe.

Brianna: And if I lose you, I'll never stop being mad.
Brianna: And I don't want that to be the last thing between us that-

Brianna: Oh,

Brianna: Oh. Hi.
