Space Quest 4[]

(audio)

"...see, there was this deadly root monster, a ferocious swamp creature, and a Labion Terror Beast to contend with. Then, I had to outsmart another of Vohaul's gorillas and steal the shuttle, so I could penetrate the asteroid fortress and pull the plug on that corpulent creep once and for all. Yeah, all in a day's work for a guy like me.

"Anyway, I aborted the launch and jetted out of there in an escape pod. I crawled into the sleep chamber, and the next thing I knew, I woke up in a trash freighter! Yeah, things didn't look too good, but I blasted out of the freighter in an old jalopy I resurrected from the rubble.

"What I didn't know was, I was being tailed by Arnoid The Annihilator, that one-man collection agency from Hell. He nearly had me at a tourist trap on Phleebhut, but at the last minute, I wiped him out.

"After that grueling experience, I thought I'd take it easy for a while. That's when I got the distress call from the Two Guys From Andromeda. You ever seen those guys? Geez, what a couple of geeks! Anyway, before I knew it, I was face-to-face with the most ruthless band of outlaws in the galaxy: The Pirates of Pestulon. I was lucky to get out of there with my skin, not to mention those two ingrates I dropped off on Earth. Why I risked my neck for those bozos, I'll never know.

"Yeah, I think I'm overdue for a vacation. I'm not even gonna think about anything brave or heroic for at least... ah, six months. I'll be kickin' back on some sandy beach, soakin' up X-rays. Heck, maybe I'll even check out RobertaLand."

"Uh... yeah."

"Thanks for saving me. I thought I was a goner!"

"Hey, I wanna know, what the f-"

"Roger coughs and sputters."

"Oooh, this doesn't taste good. Yuck!"

"Yuck! Seriously gross!"

"Ugh, (gulp) now that was a bitter section. I don't think I wanna lick the road around here anymore."

"How do I get into these situations?"

"Hello!"

"Whoa! What was that?!"

"Help! A giant branch has penetrated my vital organs and I can't get up!"

"I said that?"

"Was that me?"

"Hey, what are you doin'?"

"Let me go, bi - witch!"

"Well, now wait a minute. Let's talk about this."

"What's goin' on in there?"

"I'm sorry. I lost my boots and the legs of my pants in a deadly fight with a giant sea slug, which I won in the nick of time with my clever thinking and my... uh... cleverness."

"Please help me, that other deal was a total misunderstanding. Anyway, as I said, I've misplaced the legs of my pants. My boots seem to be missing as well."

"Hey! That's a gilled thwarkeelambitross! I haven't seen one of those in years!"

"I'd like a..."

"I want a job."

"I can cook."

"Gee, thanks!"

"Gee, thanks! What a swell boss!"

"Mmm... wild berry!"

"Oh! Real plastic!"

"Ahh... the smell of brand-new simulated fabric."

"Nice waltz!"

"I'm not sure... I think I'll just look around for a bit."

"Hello, I was hoping to make a purchase."

"Well, uh, this is kinda hard to explain."

"Um... I'm, uh... I'm not sure, but she's built about like me."

"Oh... 38."

"Um... we're right."

"I think I'll wear it home."

"I'd still like to buy that dress. I'm terribly sorry about that little misunderstanding."

"Let's boogie, girls!"

"I sure know how to bust a move!"

"(feminine) *ahem* Yes, I want a job."

"(feminine) *gasp* Why, you male sexist pig!"

"Youch!"

"Aw, cripes! I hate it when that happens."

"Aw, cripes!"

"The Ulence Flats bar... my, this place brings back some memories... not!"

"Boy, that was close! Hey, how come their bikes can go through the forcefield?"

"Well... I gotta run, my hog pod's double parked. Hey, it's been swell talkin' to ya."

"Roger and Roger Jr. talking at the same time."

"Roger and Roger Jr. talking at the same time again."

"Were Vohaul's words true? Are you really my son? You do look a little like me, though not as good looking."

"You had to go back in time to get me? Why wasn't I available in this time? What happened to me? I don't understand."

"Hey, if you're my son, who's your mother, my wife? Where is she? Who is she?"

"What do you mean, 'Was quite beautiful'? What are you saying?"

"I don't believe all this! I'm so confused."

"Dang!"

"Geeze!"

"Great."

"Hi!"

"Mom!"

"Roger screams."

"Wow."

Hz. So Good Catalog[]

In an alternate universe, Roger ended up reading the Hz. So Good catalog aloud himself instead of the Salesbot doing it. He also complained about the general lack of viability of most of the items offered...
