Shiv and Apollo

1. Shiv What's your story pretty boy?
2. Apollo Are you trying to mock me, or befriend me?
3. Shiv Why not both.

Shiv and Bebop

1. Shiv Seen you fight before, you gotta flair for the dramatic.
2. Bebop I've found that pit fighting is two parts violence, one part theatrics. You should give it a try sometime, bet you'd be a natural.
3. Shiv Ya know there was a time in my life when I probably would've taken you up on that. But I like the new path I'm on.
4. Bebop Suit yourself.

Shiv and Calico

1. Shiv Traitor.
2. Calico Please, I didn't betray you. You weren't even in the Baxter Society before my departure.

Shiv and Celeste

1. Celeste What's it like working with Gary Talon
2. Shiv His name's Grey Talon.
3. Celeste Thought it was Gary.

5. Celeste huh. Guess he just really looks like a Gary.

Shiv and Drifter

1. Drifter Been a while.
2. Shiv Don't talk to me.

2. Dynamo Sounds like a plan.

Shiv and Grey Talon

1. Grey Talon The society still giving you problems.
2. Shiv Of course.
3. Grey Talon Stay with it. They'll come around.

Shiv and Infernus

1. Infernus Heard you're the latest addition to the Baxter society.
2. Shiv Hear anything else?
3. Infernus Brother, if I judged people based on the bad shit that they have done in the past, then I'd be the biggest hypocrite in the world. If you say that you're a better man, then I'll treat you like a better man.
4. Shiv Thank you.

Shiv and Lady Geist

2. Shiv I can impress 'em all on my own.
3. Seven Don't pretend you didn't think about betraying me.
4. Shiv Of course I thought about betraying you, that's why I'm not doing it. The OSIC already has your number. I punch your ticket first then the feds think the Society is doing it to make them look bad.

4. Apollo It's sharp.
5. Shiv You ever have to use it?
6. Apollo I use it all the time.
7. Shiv I'm not talking about practice, I'm talking you stabbing a man because you want to end his life.

1. Drifter What the hell happened to you Shiv… you used to be a man.

Shiv and Mo & Krill
