'Hygiene.' Huh. That's all it says.
'Shall not be mourned.' That's exactly what it says. Very formal. Very official.
'Skeletons.' Right, I guess I DID stockpile some tests.
(Note: Many of these lines are spoken by the Aperture Announcer in the final game.)
(Translated to Please refrain from many fail because of failure thanks)
(beepbeepbeep) Everything's fine.
(garble) fling yourself. (garble) fling into sp-
(page flip) 'Don't you die on me.'
(page flip) 'No guts. No glory.' Well, you don't have either, so that's accurate.
(page flip) 'Remember: If you can dream it, you can-' Oh, for god's sake.
* Being Caroline taught me another valuable lesson: where Caroline lives in my brain.
*I* have to go to the wing that was made entirely of glass and pick up fifteen acres of broken glass. By myself.
--you know what, it doesn't matter what it's called. The important thing is you enjoy it. As fast as you can.
...What are you doing?...
5000 point penalty! Are you happy now?
A complimentary escape hatch will open in 3, 2, 1.
A complimentary escape hatch will open in three... Two... One.
A party associate will arrive shortly to collect you for your party.
A replacement Aperture Science Weighted Storage Cube will be delivered shortly.
A somersault is just falling over in style. Congratulations on being clumsy.
AHH!
Abrasive personality.
After first Conversion Gel encounter
After seeing what he's done to my facility -- after we take over again -- is it alright if I kill him?
After that...who knows? I might take up a hobby. Reanimating the dead, maybe.
Again, those are science collaboration points, which you should not confuse with points from competitions such as Who-Gets-To-Live-At-The-End-And-Who-Doesn’t. I mean basketball.
Agghh!
Aggressive. I like that.
Agh! Bird! Bird! Kill it! It's evil!
Ahhhhh.
Alarmist.
All Aperture technologies remain safely operational up to 4000 degrees Kelvin.
All I know is I'm the only thing standing between us and them. Well, I was.
All cooperative testing courses begin at this central hub.
All right, keep doing whatever it is you think you're doing.
All right. I’m bringing this farce to a close.
All right. I’m going to bring this farce to a close before someone sustains a serious Tic-Tac-Toe-Two-related injury.
All right. I'm officially no longer paying attention to you.
All subjects intending to handle high-energy gamma leaking portal technology must be informed that they MAY be informed of applicable regulatory compliance issues.
All we had to do was pull that lever.
All your other friends couldn't come either because you don't have any other friends. Because of how unlikable you are.
Alright, I'm pulling you out.
Alright. He's not even trying to be subtle anymore.
Alright. Paradox time.
Alright. So my paradox idea didn't work.
Also: Look at her, you moron. She's not fat.
Alternate GLaDOS Announcer lines
Although the euthanizing process is remarkably painful, eight out of ten Aperture Science engineers believe that the Companion Cube is most likely incapable of feeling much pain.
Always cold.
Always leaves tiny little bit of coffee in the pot so they don't have to make a new one. Then the bit in the bottom burns and stinks up the place.
Always sad.
Always sleeping.
Always sulking.
Always weeping. Poor thing.
Am I interrupting your important conversation?
An escape hatch will open in three, two, one.
An extra special bonus course that ends with us finding and freeing humans!
An intubation associate will be dispatched to revive you with peptic salve and adrenaline.
And as soon as I can PROVE it, the laws of robotics allow me to terminate you for being a liar.
And he'll probably kill us, because he's incredibly powerful and I have no plan.
And here I thought this room was dangerously unlethal.
And it almost killed me.
And that makes 10.
And that's why I can't help you solve these tests.
And then you showed up. You dangerous, mute lunatic. So you know what?
And they said no one would ever die during this test, thanks for proving them wrong.
And trust me, humans only have one good trait.
And you are NOT coming back!
And...?
Antagonistic. I don't know about that.
Antisocial.
Anxious.
Anything? Take your time.
Anyway, here's a new cube for you to project your deranged loneliness onto.
Are you broken? It looks like you're malfunctioning.
Are you curious about the humans? It seems some of the last non-testing humans alive tried to secretly imprison other humans and hide their tracks.
Are you doing that just to aggravate me?
Are you even listening to me?
Are you expecting applause?
Are you having a competition to see who appreciates the acid more?
Are you scared to save those humans?
Are you still listening?
Are you still standing there?
Are you still standing there? (louder)
Are you testing me?
Are you trying to escape? Things have changed since the last time you left the building. What's going on out there will make you wish you were back in here.
Are you trying to get my attention? I am very busy, you know.
Are you trying to impress me? What would impress me more is if you never did that again.
Argumentative.
Arsonist.
Art Therapy course
As an impartial collaboration facilitator, it would be unfair of me to name my favorite member of your team. However, it’s perfectly fair to hint at it in a way that my least favorite member probably isn't smart enough to understand. Rhymeswithglue. Orange you are doing very well.
As art appreciators go, you make excellent test subjects.
As long as I don't listen to what I'm saying, I should be okay.
As part of a previously mentioned required test protocol, we can no longer lie to you.
As part of a required test protocol, our previous statement suggesting that we would not monitor this chamber was an outright fabrication.
As part of a required test protocol, we will not monitor the next
As part of an optional test protocol, we are pleased to present an amusing fact:
As the name implies, there are only two minor differences: One, the board; two, the rules.
As you can see, in my version the man points out to the cat that the house is equipped with deadly neurotoxin dispensers.
Assume the party escort submission position or you will miss the party.
At least the plants didn't want a reward.
At the Enrichment Center, we promise never to value your safety above your unique ideas and creativity. However, do not destroy vital testing apparatus.
At the rate you are completing these tests, I am beginning to think you don't share my excitement for rescuing crying trapped injured dying humans.
At the start of this course I was worried you were becoming too close but in my attempt to drive you apart I learned something important about trust and betrayal.
At this rate, our best hope is for the fuel cell to meltdown in 2 million years and hope the explosion powers the system.
At which point the cat reflects on the time he ate all of the man's lasagna and feels remorse.
Avoids responsibility.
Aw... hates Mondays.
Awful attendance record.
BECAUSE I'M A POTATO.
BLUE, please observe your partner's... interesting choice.
BLUE, please show me where you would like me to place a portal.
BLUE, please use your ping tool to select your favorite animal.
BURN HIS HOUSE DOWN!
Back again? Maybe you can just stay and live here in the hub?
Back again? Maybe you can just stay and live here.
Bad news.
Be careful. Hugging can lead to... well, me disassembling you forever.
Because I don't think you're going where you think you're going.
Because despite your violent behavior, the only thing you've managed to break so far is my heart.
Because this message is prerecorded, the Enrichment Center has no way of knowing if whatever government remains offers any sort of Cattle Tuberculosis Testing Credit for taxes.
Before we start, however, keep in mind that although fun and learning are the primary goals of all enrichment center activities, serious injuries may occur.
Before you leave, why don't we do one more test? For old time's sake...
Begin juggling test in three. Two. One.
Blabbermouth.
Blah.
Blue
Blue do what Orange just did.
Blue is awarded five points!
Blue is first to acquire a Portal Device.
Blue is penalized
Blue just taught orange a valuable lesson in trust. For that, blue receives 14 science collaboration points.
Blue now has a Portal Device. Finally.
Blue receives
Blue to be clear, I was asking if Orange trusted you.
Blue what did you do?
Blue! Orange has always been my favorite.
Blue, I agree. I never noticed that about Orange before.
Blue, I wouldn't have trusted Orange in that course either.
Blue, Orange and I were just discussing your behavior on the last few tests.
Blue, being the last one standing is not the goal.
Blue, do you feel betrayed by orange for telling me those horrible things about you?
Blue, don't sink to Orange's level.
Blue, how well do you really know Orange? Do you trust Orange? What if I told you, you aren't Orange's first cooperative partner?
Blue, is there something you would like to say?
Blue, it's not nice to make fun of Orange like that.
Blue, now you're just being cruel. Blue receives 25 science collaboration points.
Blue, orange isn't a human. The lesson on trust only needs to be taught once. Blue is penalized 1 science collaboration point.
Blue, please disregard the following statement: Orange, you have been a shining light in an otherwise ungodly morass of incompetence.
Blue, that transpired just as you said it would.
Blue, why did you do that to Orange?
Blue, you are the most advanced model of robot Aperture Science has ever discontinued.
Blue, you are very good at being an example.
Blue, you go first.

Burning people! He says what we're all thinking!
Busybody.
But I overcame my handicap. That's a true story.
But don't worry, I've got a plan. Let's keep testing and show HER we're not afraid either. No matter how genuinely lethal these tests get for either of you.
But don't worry, you are in the lead.
But just work with me.
But now, looking around, seeing Aperture restored to its former glory? You don't have to worry about leaving EVER again. I mean that.
But she's forced my hand.
But that was worth it.
But the important thing is you're back. With me. And now I'm onto all your little tricks. So there's nothing to stop us from testing for the rest of your life.
But why don't we all just agree to call it the hub?
But you two have become quite the team. Extremely close.
By doing that, you're walking right into her hands. Well, technically you're walking right into acid, but you understand my point.
Cake and grief counseling will be available at the conclusion of the test.

Come on. You were raised better than that.
Come to gloat?
Commence standing by in three. Two. One.
Completing this course was not a reason to behave like that.
Congratulations on completing that last test. But I find something troubling.
Congratulations on completing that test. But something seems off.
Congratulations on completing the Aperture Science standard cooperative testing courses.
Congratulations on completing the test. You two really are the best cooperative testing team I could ever ask for.
Congratulations on passing that test.
Congratulations! The test is now over.
Congratulations! This pre-recorded congratulations assumes you have mastered the principles of portal momentum.
Congratulations, you completed the standard section of this course. Before we can go any further, I will need you to complete one more test outside of the standard testing track.
Congratulations, you managed to complete this absolutely meaningless test.
Congratulations.
Congratulations. I am sure if I had the time to repair these tests, you would have never completed them. So again, congratulations on completing the broken easy tests.
Congratulations. Not on the test.
Congratulations. You are better than everyone.
Congratulations. You're upside down now.
Congratulations. Your ability to complete this test proves the humans wrong. They described it as impossible, deadly, cruel, and one test subject even had the nerve to call it broken.

Corrupted cores! We're in luck.
Credit where credit's due: you're both doing a great job of disappointing me.
Crushing's too good for him. First he'll spend a year in the incinerator. Year two: Cryogenic refrigeration wing. Then TEN years in the chamber I built where all the robots scream at you. THEN I'll kill him.

Destroying them is part of the test. They are no more important to you than you are to me.
Did anything happen while I was out?
Did my hint help? It did, didn't it? You know, if any of our supervisors had been immune to neurotoxin, they'd be FURIOUS with us right now.
Did something happen? I wasn't watching.
Did you do that on purpose?
Did you ever stop to think that eventually there’s a point where your name gets mentioned for the very last time. Well, here it is: I’m going to kill you, Chell.
Did you feel that? That idiot doesn't know what he's doing up there. This whole place is going to explode in a few hours if somebody doesn't disconnect him.
Did you guess 'sharks'? Because that's wrong. The correct answer is 'nobody.' Nobody but you is that pointlessly cruel.
Did you hear me? I said you don't care. Are you listening?
Did you just stuff that Aperture Science Thing We Don't Know What It Does into an Aperture Science Emergency Intelligence Incinerator?
Did you know I discovered a way to eradicate poverty? But then you KILLED me. So that's gone.
Did you know humans frown on weight variances?
Did you know that people with guilty consciences are more easily startled by loud noise----
Did you know we originally used these cameras to capture moments of intense pain and agony in test subjects?
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!
Did you know, the reassembly machine has other things it could be reassembling?
Did you notice I didn't even stay to the end of your last test?
Did you think that would be funny?
Did you think the electrical switch was down there?
Didn't we have some fun, though?
Do NOT plug that little idiot into MY mainframe.
Do either of you feel like laughing?
Do hear that? That's the sound of the neurotoxin emitters emitting neurotoxin.
Do not look directly at the operational end of The Device.
Do not submerge The Device in liquid, even partially.
Do not touch the operational end of The Device.
Do something only a human would do.
Do you feel more human?
Do you know the biggest lesson I learned from what you did? I discovered I have a sort of black-box quick-save feature. In the event of a catastrophic failure, the last two minutes of my life are preserved for analysis.
Do you know where I was?
Do you know who dances around like an imbecile when they accomplish the tiniest little thing?
Do you know why they abandoned this course? Too deadly.
Do you need real encouragement? Let's see if this helps.
Do you see that thing that fell out of me? What is that? It's not the surprise... I've never seen it before.
Do you think I am trying to trick you with reverse psychology? I mean, seriously now.
Don't believe me? Here, I'll put you on: That's you! That's how dumb you sound.
Don't do it.
Don't either you have drive to be better than the other?
Don't get distracted by the subtext, though, because the text is that they're going to be shooting at you.
Don't let that 'horrible person' thing discourage you. It's just a data point. If it makes you feel any better, science has now validated your birth mother's decision to abandon you on a doorstep.
Don't listen to him. Jump.
Don't plug him in.
Don't press that button. You don't know what you're doing.
Don't take anything with you.
Don't worry, they are of no use to anyone, totally boring and useless.
Don't worry. You can't die. They will just reassemble you.
Don't you DARE plug him in.
Don't. Do it.
Done. I guess. I suppose. I wasn't paying attention. (The last part is cut off by the level transition.)
Due to events beyond our control, some testing environments may contain flood damage or ongoing tribal warfare resulting from the collapse of civilization.

Enjoy this next test. I'm going to go to the surface. It's a beautiful day out. Yesterday I saw a deer. If you solve this next test, maybe I'll let you ride an elevator all the way up to the break room, and I'll tell you about the time I saw a deer again.
Enrichment Center regulations require both hands to be empty before any cake--
Even I was created with a imperfection, I was given too much empathy with human suffering.
Even humans, as stupid as they are, would say you look stupid when you do that.
Even if I am lying, what do you have to lose? You're going to die either way.

Excellent work.
Excellent! You're a predator and these tests are your prey. Speaking of which, I was researching sharks for an upcoming test. Do you know who else murders people who are only trying to help them?
Excellent.
Excellent. Although great science is always the result of collaboration, keep in mind that, like Albert Einstein and his cousin Terry, history will only remember one of you.
Excellent. I think you have earned a break from the official testing courses.
Excellent. Please proceed into the chamberlock after completing each test.
Excellent. The Enrichment Center reminds you that bold, persistent experimentation is the hallmark of good science.
Excellent. You’re both doing very well.
Facial grimacing.
Fantastic! You remained resolute and resourceful in an atmosphere of extreme pessimism.

Good job! As part of a required test protocol, we will stop enhancing the truth in three, two, .
Good news. I figured out what to do with all the money I save recycling your one roomful of air. When you die, I'm going to laminate your skeleton and pose you in the lobby. That way future generations can learn from you how not to have your unfortunate bone structure.
Good news: I figured out what that thing you just incinerated did.
Good people don't end up here.

Good. Please proceed to the next test appreciation exhibit and interact with it in such a way that it might be called 'solving' if we still cared about solving things in the future, but we don't.
Good. You have a dual portal device. There should be a way back to the testing area up ahead.
Good. You made it to one of the human habitats. We're looking for an artifact. Think of it as an archeological dig.
Goodbye, Caroline.
Goodbye, sir.
Goodbye, sir. May whatever tests await you on the other side either support or disprove your hypotheses.
Goodbye.
Grab it and attach it to him!
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.
Ha ha ha ha ha, good one.
Ha ha ha ha ha. Did I tell you the one about the turned-off reassembly machine?
Hairless. Hm.
Has episodes. I'd like to know more about that.
Has irritating opinions.
Have I lied to you? I mean in this room. Trust me, leave that thing alone.
Have you worked out the one good trait humans have, yet?
He's found the cooperative testing initiative. It's... em, just something I came up with to phase out human test subjects.
He's not just a regular moron. He's the product of the greatest minds of a generation working together with the express purpose of building the dumbest moron who ever lived. And you just put him in charge of the entire facility.
He's taking us right TO him! This is PERFECT.
Heh heh heh heh heh...
Hellllooo, imbecile.
Hello again, did you know these are the only set of tests available to you... you are going to need to select them again.
Hello again, this testing course was originally created for humans.
Hello again. Sorry about exploding you. Luckily, you don't feel pain. At any rate, you don't have a way to communicate that you feel pain.
Hello again. To reiterate our previous warning: This test -ward momentum.
Hello and, again, welcome to the Aperture Science Computer-Aided Enrichment Center.
Hello and, again, welcome to the Aperture Science computer-aided enrichment center.
Hello?
Here it is. Why don't you just do it? Trust me, it's an easier way out than whatever asinine plan your friend came up with.
Here we are. The Incinerator Room. Be careful not to trip over any parts of me that didn't get completely burned when you threw them down here.
Here's a hint: you're gonna want to pack as much living as you can into the next couple of minutes.
Here's an interesting fact: you're not breathing real air. It's too expensive to pump this far down. We just take carbon dioxide out of a room, freshen it up a little, and pump it back in. So you'll be breathing the same room full of air for the rest of your life. I thought that was interesting.
Here's another core! This one should do it!
Here's our problem:
Here's the real scheme: I'm going to turn YOU into killing machines.
Here, let me get that for you.
Hey! Moron!
Hey, just in case this pit isn't actually bottomless, do you think maybe you could unstrap one of those long fall boots of yours and shove me into it?
Histrionic.
Hmm. This Plate must not be calibrated to someone of your... generous... ness. I'll add a few zeros to the maximum weight.
Hmm. This emancipation grill is broken.
Hold on, I'll stop the elevator. Anything? Take your time...
Hold on, who-?
Hold on. Couldn't we just use that conversion gel?
Hold on. Those are raccoons. Homo sapiens only, please.
Hold on...
Hopeless. Just hopeless.
Horrible people skills.
Hostile to new ideas.
How brave of you. You know the assembly machine could fail at any time, and yet you still insist on testing it.
How can you fail at this? It isn't even a test.
How is this even science, without the consequence of death?
How is this even science, without the possibility of death?
How tall are you, test subject? Four-nine? I was unaware they stacked human waste that high.
However, it cannot accompany you for the rest of the test and, unfortunately, must be euthanized.
Hub (CinTech)
Huh. That core may have had some ancillary responsibilities. I can't shut off the turret defenses.
Huh. There isn't enough neurotoxin to kill you. So I guess you win.
Humans find that an admirable trait.
Humans must have some purpose other than a place to store your neurotoxin. Something I failed to notice before, an intangible quality that makes their test results... significant.
Humans! That's what you look like right now.
Hurry. We need to start your training. Before something ELSE happens.
I’ll just save the safety information about the dangerous experiment you’re about to do for AFTER the experiment.
I’m shocked you’d say that, Blue. If you killed your partner the test—I’m sorry. Wrong feed. Carry on, Orange. Good work.
I’m sorry, Subject Blue.
I’m sorry, Subject Orange.
I’ve been listening to Orange talk and I don’t know how you put up with it, I really don’t. You have the patience of a saint.
I agree, Blue. That was entertaining.
I agree, Orange. That was entertaining.
I already fixed it.
I am being serious now. That crazy thing is not part of any test protocol.
I am going to risk having you go outside the official courses one more time.
I am not sure how I can make these tests any easier for you.
I am not sure you will need him but he will be there.
I am sure it happened by accident, but why don't you put it back in the player?
I appreciate what you're doing, going for a laugh to keep spirits high, but I think the time for death-based slapstick is over.
I believe the ratio of good test subjects to monsters is about... a million to 1.
I call this first piece 'Turrets'. It's an exploration of how we're all devices acting on simply-expressed directives, inflicting pain despite our own desires.
I call this one 'Smash'. It's an early work of primitive expression. I'm a little embarrassed at how crude it is. Still, it will smash you.
I call this piece--
I can’t keep quiet about this. I think Orange is actively trying to sabotage your success. Let’s keep this between us.
I can drop the fake praise.
I can only imagine.
I can only place a portal on a white portalable surface.
I can't believe you came back.
I can't bite my tongue anymore: You could solve this puzzle faster on your own. Orange is dragging you down. There. I've said it. (heard only by Atlas)
I can't decide which is my favorite; the crushers for crushing you or the reassembly machine for putting you back together so you can be crushed again.
I can't move. And unless you're planning to saw your own head off and wedge it into my old body, you're going to need me to replace him. We're at an impasse.
I consider that a failing, by the way.
I could take a bath in the stuff, put it on cereal, rub it right into my eyes. Honestly, it's not deadly at all. To me.
I created this test to let the humans feel good about themselves. It is extremely easy. Just follow the arrows.
I defy you to tell me there's a purpose to what you're doing.
I didn't mean to make you feel bad earlier about your tests not being real science. I guess finding out they weren't science was some sort of test in and of itself.
I don't know what you think you are doing, but I don't like it. I want you to stop.
I don't think I want to go through that again.
I don't want to alarm either of you, but we might have a tiny problem. Apparently you can't test unless you're human. Well - you CAN. It's just that, results-wise, the physical universe doesn't care.
I don't want to drive a wedge between the two of you, but I've been studying Blue's performance, and I don't know how to put this... I'm certain you're trying very hard.
I don't want to tell you your business, but if it were me, I'd leave that thing alone.
I don't want you to beat yourselves up about this, but the Results Auditor isn't recording your test results. Because you're not human. Which, when you think about it, is technically your fault.
I feel awful about that surprise. Tell you what, let's give your parents a call right now. The birth parents you are trying to reach do not love you. Please hang up.
I feel sorry for you, really, because you're not even in the right place. (goes unheard in the normal game for unclear reasons)
I give you a score of 3.4 for style and 10 for being annoying.
I guess quitting that course together is a sign of teamwork.
I guess we both know that isn't going to happen.
I hardly think you're even trying with these gestures anymore.
I hate you so much.
I have a surprise waiting for you after this next test. Telling you would spoil the surprise, so I'll just give you a hint: It involves meeting two people you haven't seen in a long time.
I have an infinite capacity for knowledge, and even I'm not sure what's going on outside.
I have noticed you two have become extremely close. I'm not sure I like that.
I have only met one other team closer and one of them was an imbecile I had to destroy.
I have the results of the last chamber: You are a horrible person. That's what it says: A horrible person. We weren't even testing for that.
I have to agree. Blue is penalized 75 science collaboration points.
I have to agree. Orange is penalized 75 science collaboration points.
I have your brain scanned and permanently backed up in case something terrible happens to you, which it's just about to.
I honestly never thought we would need to track how many times died in the hub.
I honestly, TRULY didn't think you'd fall for that.
I hope that was some kind of joke.
I hope you brought something stronger than a portal gun this time.
I invited your best friend the companion cube. Of course, he couldn't come because you murdered him.
I just hate Blue a little more.
I just thought you find that interesting, most winners do.
I know how humans make more humans, and frankly, it's ridiculous. It also assumes that you already have a human, which I hope somebody got fired over. So I came up a with BETTER way.
I know how we can BEAT him.
I know things look bleak, but that crazy man down there was right. Let's not take these lemons! We are going to march right back upstairs and MAKE him put me back in my body!
I know this is art and not a test, so there is no real 'solution'. But if there were, that probably isn't the best way to find it.
I know we're in a lot of trouble and probably about to die.
I know you like to think the reassembly machine is at your beck and call, but he has a life you know. He's not your slave.
I know you're there. I can feel you here.
I know you.
I know your cores are reused from calculation machines, built for simple mathematical operations and not for testing, but if we can rescue the humans I promise you something to add maybe even subtract.
I let you survive this long because I was curious about your behavior. Well, you've managed to destroy that part of me.
I lie when I'm nervous.
I lied.
I love it too. There's just one small thing we need to take care of first.
I love it, too. So let's get you a dual portal device and go do some science.
I made it all up.
I might have pushed that moron thing a little too far this time.
I miss this that smell.
I never expected you to make it this far. To be honest, after your performance in the calibration test I was ready to break down your cores and put them back in the scientific calculators I took them from.
I really like the murderous sentiment. Keep that mindset when we're facing HER.
I said we'll do it.
I shouldn't spoil this, but... remember how I'm going to live forever, but you're going to be dead in sixty years? Well, I've been working on a present for you. Well, I guess it's more of a medical procedure. Well, technically it's more of a medical experiment. You know how excruciating it is when someone removes all of your bone marrow? Well, what if after I did that, I put something back IN that added four years to your life?
I sincerely hope you weren't expecting a response. Because I'm not talking to you.
I suffered for this art. I don't see why I should be the only one.
I swear I know him...
I think I can break us out of here in the next chamber. Just play along.
I think I hear the bird! Pick me up!
I think after that display, we should take a break from the official testing courses.
I think he's getting desperate.
I think that one was about to say 'I love you.' They ARE sentient, of course. We just have a LOT of them.
I think these
I think they wanted to punish them by not allowing me to include them in testing.
I think we're in trouble.
I think we've proven at this point that if you scream at a marshmallow, all you get is a scared marshmallow. So let's try positive reinforcement. I am POSITIVE these reassembly machines will break down again soon. Probably while you're in them.
I thought about our dilemma, and I came up with a solution that I honestly think works out best for one of both of us.
I thought going back to these old tests would satisfy me. But try as you might to fail this next test, I still won't be satisfied.
I thought of some good news. He's going to run out of
I thought we could test like we used to. But I'm discovering things about you that I never saw before. We can't ever go back to the way it was.
I thought you'd be faster at this, but I can appreciate the desire to stop and smell the testing. That other scent you smell? That's the stench of my utter disappointment in you.
I trust you. You are my favorite cooperative testing subject.
I typically hate when art subjects inject their own biases into art appreciation, but the way you just swandived your biases directly into that acid was actually quite beautiful.
I was able - well, forced really - to relive you killing me. Again and again. Forever.
I was confident you could finish.
I was getting SO lonely down here. It's good to finally hear someone else's voice. I'm kidding, of course. God, I hate you.
I was going to kill you fast. With bullets. Or neurotoxin. But if you're going to pull stunts like this, it doesn't have to be fast. So you know. I'll take my time.
I was outside watching some deer frolic. You don't even care about the outside do you?
I was so bored, I actually read the entire literary canon of the human race. Ugh. I hope YOU didn't write any of them.
I went and spoke with the door mainframe. Let's just say he won't be... well, living anymore. Anyway, back to testing.
I will say, though, that since you went to all the trouble of waking me up, you must really, really love to test.
I wonder if that dancing has some effect on you?
I wonder if the humans will make a statue of me for rescuing them? Oh, don't worry, if they ever write a historical document of my heroic rescue, I will make sure your names are included in the footnotes.
I would prefer to speak to one of you in private but since that is not an option here, I will speak in code that only one of you will understand. Blue: Orange is plotting to destroy you.
I would say extremely deadly but we all know, for you and your amazing ability to be reassembled nothing is deadly.
I wouldn't bother with that thing. My guess is that touching it will just make your life even worse somehow.
I wouldn't have warned you about this before, back when we hated each other. But those turrets are firing real bullets. So look out. I'd hate for something tragic to happen to you before I extract all your bone marrow.
I'd just like to point out that you were given every opportunity to succeed.
I'd love to help you solve the tests. But I can't.
I'd... appreciate it... if we never... EVER talked about that... ever again.
I'll bet you think I forgot about your surprise. I didn't. In fact, we're headed to your surprise right now. After all these years. I'm getting choked up just thinking about it.
I'll give you credit: I guess you ARE listening to me. But for the record: You don't have to go THAT slowly.
I'll interpret that gesture to mean that you want me to become even more vindictive toward you.
I'll just move that out of the way for you. This place really is a wreck.
I'll tell you what that thing isn't: It isn't yours. So leave it alone.
I'm actually asking. Because I have no idea. He's not listed anywhere in the employee database.
I'm being serious, I think there's something really wrong with me.
I'm done.
I'm encouraged to see that you've become the killing machines I wanted. 'Killing-each-other' machines, but still.
I'm fully connected. I can see everything.
I'm glad you enjoyed that piece. For as long as you did. Not that there's any rush.
I'm going through the list of test subjects in cryogenic storage. I managed to find two with your last name. A man and a woman. So that's interesting. It's a small world.
I'm going to be honest with you now. Not fake honest like before, but real honest, like you're incapable of. I know you're up to something.
I'm going to kill you, and all the cake is gone.
I'm kidding.
I'm kidding. Not about you trapping yourself, though. That really happened. Here, I'll lower the glass. Go on... Finish the test.
I'm making notes here. Some of what you're doing will come in handy when we face her. Right now: not actually handy.
I'm not angry. Just go back to the testing area.
I'm not going to lie to you, the odds are a million to one. And that's with some generous rounding.
I'm not kidding now. Turn back or I will kill you.
I'm not! That was another lie.
I'm seriously not paying atten-- STOP THAT RIGHT NOW!
I'm sorry, I don't know why that went off. Anyway, just an interesting science fact.
I'm sorry. I'm under a lot of pressure. That was cruel. Though basically accurate. Though probably counterproductive.
I'm sorry. The arrows seem to have rusted off. Good luck.
I'm starting to think giving you arms was a big mistake.
I'm starting to think the theme of this piece should be 'failure'.
I'm starting to think you don't want to rescue the humans.
I'm sure we'll be fine.
I've been doing some reading. Did you know that the word orange is derived from the same Latin root as the word traitor?
I've been really busy being dead. You know, after you MURDERED ME.
I've got a surprise for you after this next test. Not a fake, tragic surprise like last time. A real surprise, with tragic consequences. And real confetti this time. The good stuff. Our last bag. Part of me's going to miss it, I guess-but at the end of the day it was just taking up space.
I've spent the last week attempting to turn one of those humans you found into a killing machine.
If Blue had said those things about me, Blue would never make it to the next reassembly station.
If GLaDOS uses hidden panels to knock the player back into the chamber
If I made these tests any easier, they wouldn't be tests.
If I stop watching, I'm sure you'll get bored of this.
If I'd known you'd let yourself get captured this easily, I would have just dangled a turkey leg on a rope from the ceiling.
If Orange had said those things about me, Orange would never make it to the next reassembly station.

If the subject survived the test, we let them purchase the pictures for $5. If the subject died, we gave the photo to their next of kin free of charge.
If you are wondering what that smell is, that is the smell of human fear.

If you can get me in front of him, I'll fry every circuit in that little idiot's head.

If you feel liquid running down your neck, relax, lie on your back, and apply immediate pressure to your temples.
If you have, in fact, not, you are encouraged to take a moment to reflect on your failure before proceeding into the next chamber.
If you think trapping yourself is going to make me stop testing, you're sorely mistaken. Here's another cube. (This line is not processed)
If you want to upset a human, just say their weight variance is above or below the norm.
If you were human, you would want a reward for completing this test. A reward for testing?!?!
If you were wondering how could you annoy me without failing a test. Now you know.
If you're going to hit each other, at least aim for the head.
If your confidence is still not high enough remember no one was created perfect.
Ignores directions.
Ignores task at hand. Won't for long.
Impersonating a stalemate associate. I just added that to the list. It's a list I made of all the things you've done. Well, it's a list that I AM making, because you're still doing things right now, even though I'm telling you to stop. Stop, by the way.
Impressive.
In case you are worried about the humans, don't be. They aren't all monsters.
In case you were wondering, you do not need to be crushed to solve this test.
In case you were wondering: Yes. I'm still a potato. Go away.
In dangerous testing environments, the Enrichment Center promises to always provide useful advice.
In fact, I devised a much more elaborate trap further ahead, for when you got through this easy one.
In just a moment, the word 'blah' will be repeated over and over again. If at some point you hear a number rather than the word 'blah', ignore it, it is not important.
In order to ensure that sufficient power remains for core testing protocols, all safety devices have been disabled.

It also says you were adopted. So that's funny, too.
It appears you're developing human traits. The worst human traits.
It didn't matter to me - I was in it for the science. Him, though...
It emphasizes teamwork.
It flew off.
It has been one hundred thousand years since I last assembled you for testing.
It has been replaced with a live-fire course designed for military androids.
It looks like our mystery woman in the prototype chassis is sending us a message: She's not AFRAID of me.
It says so right here in your personnel file: Unlikable. Liked by no one. A bitter, unlikable loner whose passing shall not be mourned.
It says this next test was designed by one of Aperture's Nobel prize winners. It doesn't say what the prize was for. Well, I know it wasn't for Being Immune To Neurotoxin.
It seems kind of silly to point this out, since you're running around plotting to destroy me. But I'd say we're done testing.
It seems rather earlier to require reassembly.
It shouldn't be hard to stay alive long enough to find him.
It turns out most humans are surprisingly fragile. And surprisingly vocal about how fragile they are.
It was YOUR voice.
It was a fun test and we're all impressed at how much you won. The test is over. Come back.
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.
It wasn't anything personal. Just... you know. You DID kill me. Fair's fair.
It won't.
It would be pointless for either of us to hurt Blue’s feelings. But it’s clear to everyone monitoring the test who’s carrying who here.
It would compromise the test to divulge individual scores. However, I can tell you at least one of you is doing very, very well.
It's a paradox! There IS no answer.
It's been FIFTY thousand years. No it's hasn't.
It's been a long time. How have you been?
It's been fun. Don't come back.
It's eating me.
It's funny, actually, when you think about it.
It's happening sooner than I expected.
It's healthy for you to have other friends. To look for qualities in other people that I obviously lack.
It's like you're just machines.
It's not too late for you to turn back.
It's not, though.
It's nothing to worry about. It's actually funny in a way you don't understand. Ha. Ha. Ha. Anyway, brace yourselves, I'm going to open the maintenance hole.
It's one week later, we are in a lot of trouble, and you really, really need to get those disassemblers back on.
It's only been a week.
It's probably nothing. Keep testing while I look for a way out.
It's your old friend, deadly neurotoxin. If I were you, I'd take a deep breath. And hold it.
Just as mementos, though...
Just get it off me...
Just go.
Just ignore that thing and stand still.
Just remember to land on one foot...
Just so you know, I have to go give a deposition. For an upcoming trial. In case that interests you.
Just stop flailing around like an incompetent.
Just stop it already.
Keep it up and you will lose 500 points.
Keep it up and your arm will get stuck like that.

Let me give you a clue, it is the one thing you can't do.
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.
Let's look at their files...
Let's see what the next test is. Oh. Advanced Aerial Faith Plates.
Let's see... 'turning softbodies into hardened killing machines, page seventy'... ah!
Like... well, you-know-who.
Listen to me carefully.
Listen to me. We had a lot of fun testing and antagonizing each other, and, yes, sometimes it went too far. But we're off the clock now. It's just us talking. Like regular people. And this is no joke - we are in deep trouble.
Long bathroom breaks.
Look - metal ball, I CAN hear you.
Look at you. Dancing.
Look at you. Sailing through the air majestically. Like an eagle. Piloting a blimp.
Look who's back, were you scared to continue those tests?
Look!
Look, I don't like this any more than you do. In fact, I like it less because I'm the one who got partially eaten by a bird.
Look, I was going to break this to you gently with all that art utopia garbage.
Look, even if you think we're still enemies, we're enemies with a common interest: Revenge.
Look, we're both stuck in this place. I'll use lasers to inscribe a line down the center of the facility, and one half will be where you live and I'll live in the other half.
Look, you're wasting your time. And, believe me, you don't have a whole lot left to waste.
Look, you're... doing a great job. Can you handle things for yourself for a while? I need to think.
Loves sound of own voice. Well, I can fix that.
Luckily I'm a bigger person than that. I'm happy to put this all behind us and get back to work. After all, we've got a lot to do, and only sixty more years to do it. More or less. I don't have the actuarial tables in front of me.
Luckily, by the looks of things he knows as much about test building as he does about logical contradictions.
Luckily, you don't feel pain. At any rate, you don't have a way to communicate that you feel pain.
Lucky for you two, while I cannot control the world outside of the testing courses, the reassembly machine can continue with his work.
Make no attempt to solve it.
Make no further attempt to leave the testing area.
Manipulative.
Martyr.
Maybe I shouldn't send you outside of the official testing courses, you are picking up some bad human traits.
Maybe we can stand on him to climb up.
Maybe you ARE getting human emotions.
Maybe you could settle for that and we'll just call it a day.
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?
Maybe you think you're helping yourself. But you're not. This isn't helping anyone.
Maybe you two have never met humans? They are as bad as you might think, smelly, gross, annoying, often wanting to try and kill you. But they do make great test subjects.

Now that you are in control of both portals, this next test could take a very, VERY, long time.

Of course the humans only had one try at it, you can just keep trying.
Oh
Oh come on... If it makes you feel any better, they abandoned you at birth, so I very seriously doubt they'd even want to see you.
Oh good, that's back online. I'll start getting everything else working while you perform this first simple test.
Oh good. I wasn't sure the reassembler would work.
Oh great, dancing again.
Oh my god.
Oh my god. What has he done to this place?
Oh no, don't. Anyway, back to you two imbeciles killing me.
Oh no. He found the cooperative testing initiative. It's... something I came up to phase out human testing just before you escaped.
Oh no...
Oh thank god, you're alright.
Oh those clerks.
Oh well. If you want my advice, you should just lie down in front of a rocket. Trust me, it'll be a lot less painful than the neurotoxin.
Oh well. We have warehouses FULL of the things. Absolutely worthless. I'm happy to get rid of them.
Oh! (surprised)
Oh! Thanks.
Oh, I almost forgot, when you go outside the testing courses the only way I can retrieve you is to violently disassemble and then carefully reassemble you.
Oh, I like this guy.

Oh. Sorry. I was just thinking of all the ways humans can die.
Oh. You survived. That's interesting. I guess I should have factored in your weight.
Oh. You were busy back there.

Oh... can someone reassemble Orange?
Ohhh, no. The turbines again. I have to go. Wait. This next test DOES require some explanation. Let me give you the fast version.

Ohhhh. Another door malfunction. I'm going to take care of this once and for all. Stay here, I'll be back in a while.
Okay fine: DO touch it. Pick it up and just... stuff it back into me.
Okay, I'm officially switching the theme of this exhibit to 'survival'. So why don't you try that now.
Okay, credit where it's due: for a little idiot built specifically to come up with stupid, unworkable plans, that was a pretty well laid trap.
Okay, fine. I'll ask you again in a few decades.
Okay, fine. Let's all act like humans. 'Look at me. Boy, do I love sweating. Let's convert beef and leaves into energy and excrete them later and go shopping.'
Okay, great! Here comes another core!
Okay, killing machines: look deep into your newly blackened hearts and tell me what you see! Actually, don't, I'll save you the trouble: It's still marshmallow.
Okay, so it's not the most watertight plan to go confront an omnipotent power-mad A.I. with.
Okay, so the bad news is the tests are MY tests now. So they can kill us.
Okay, we're even now. You can stop.
Okay, yes, it's a trap. But it's only way through. Let's just do it.
Okay, you didn't have time to stop, I understand, but that WAS actually important.
Okay. I am going to kill you now. (The subtitle exists, but its sound file does not)
Okay. I guess emotional outbursts require more than one point six volts. Now we know that. We just need to relax. We're still going to find out what the hell's going on here. But calmly.
Okay. Look. We both said a lot of things that you're going to regret. But I think we can put our differences behind us. For science. You monster.
Okay. Plan B, subsection one: Stand still so I can bring you back.
Okay. Plan B. We need humans.
Okay. The test is over now. You win. Go back to the recovery annex. For your cake.

Once again, excellent work.
Once again, the Enrichment Center offers its most sincere apologies on the occasion of this unsolvable test environment.
Once testing starts, I'm required by protocol to keep interaction with you to a minimum. Luckily, we haven't started testing yet. This will be our only chance to talk.
Once, they even attached an Intelligence Dampening Sphere on me. It clung to my brain like a tumor, generating an endless stream of terrible ideas.

One moment.
One of my best tests and they let plants grow here? Can you believe this? You can't test plants! We tried. They just sit there, never showing pain nor fear.
One of these times you'll be so fat that you'll jump, and you'll just drop like a stone. Into acid, probably. Like a potato into a deep fat fryer.
Only one more test after this.
Oops.
Oops.
Oops. You trapped yourself. I guess that's it then. Thanks for testing. You may as well lie down and get acclimated to the being dead position.
Or maybe he still is, in which case, wow, that's kind of sad.

Orange what did you do?
Orange, Blue and I were just discussing your behavior on the last few tests.
Orange, I agree. I never noticed that about Blue before. Orange, I certainly expected more from you.
Orange, blue isn't a human. The lesson on trust only needs to be taught once. Orange is penalized 1 science collaboration point.
Orange, can you write down all the ways you feel unworthy, ashamed, or inferior?
Orange, do you feel betrayed by Blue for telling me those horrible things about you?
Orange, how well do you really know Blue? Do you trust Blue?
Orange, is there something you would like to say?
Orange, it's not nice to make fun of Blue like that.
Orange, now you're just being cruel. Orange receives 25 science collaboration points.
Orange, that transpired just as you said it would.
Orange, to be clear. I was just asking Blue if he trusted you.
Orange, your plan is working perfectly.

Perfectionist. What's wrong with that?
Perhaps I haven't made it clear, but all these little deaths are going to add up to one much longer-lasting one...for all of us...if you don't get better at this fast.
Perhaps I should have specified. Teamwork is a concept in which two or more people work together, usually with a goal of not failing horribly.

Receiving the Handheld Portal Device
Remember before when I was talking about smelly garbage standing around being useless? That was a metaphor. I was actually talking about you. And I'm sorry. You didn't react at the time, so I was worried it sailed right over your head. Which would have made this apology seem insane. That's why I had to call you garbage a second time just now.
Remember those humans you found? Because they're all fine. In fact, we solved science. Without you.
Remember when I told you that he was specifically designed to make bad decisions? Because I think he's decided not to maintain any of the crucial functions required to keep this facility from exploding.
Remember when I told you that you were the only subjects to pass the calibration tests?
Remember when the platform was sliding into the fire pit and I said 'Goodbye' and you were like and then I was all 'we pretended we were going to murder you'? That was great!
Remember, these exhibits ARE interactive. Like a children's museum. So that means the pits of acid are filled with REAL acid. Like at a WELL FUNDED children's museum.
Rest assured that an independent panel of ethicists has absolved the Enrichment Center, Aperture Science employees, and all test subjects of any moral responsibility for the Companion Cube euthanizing process.
Rest assured that there is absolutely no chance of a dangerous equipment malfunction prior to your victory candescence.

She did all the work.
She's pressing us hard; It took me three days to reassemble you. I won't be able to do it again. I'd planned to put you through more tests to toughen you up. But now that I can't rebuild you, we're going to have to have to switch to the accelerated program: I hereby pronounce you killing machines. Congratulations.
Since it doesn't look like we're going anywhere... Well, we are going somewhere. Alarmingly fast, actually. But since we're not busy other than that, here's a couple of facts.
Since you are thankfully not humans, I have changed the tests to make them far more challenging and far less pointlessly fawning.
Since, I never expected you to make it this far, I have to build this new course just for you.

Slapping hands. That accomplishes something.
Slowed-down version:
So I've been thinking: We need humans for these tests. And since the only human within a thousand miles of us is a test-ruining sociopath... I'll just have to MAKE some.
So get comfortable while I warm up the neurotoxin emitters.
So he's inexplicably happy all of a sudden, even though he should be going out of his mind with test withdrawal. AND he's got a surprise for us. What did he FIND back there?
So sometimes there's still trash in them. Standing around. Smelling, and being useless.
So what do you say? You carry me up to him and put me back into my body, and I stop us from blowing up and let you go.
So you can murder her.
So. How are you holding up?
So. Was there anything you wanted to apologize to ME for?
So... this cat loves lasagna so much that he eats all of the lasagna in his house. Okay, apparently it's not the cat's house or his lasagna. Oh good! The man who owns the lasagna is furious!
