Scientists

• Ahh... Gordon Freeman, It's good to see you.
• They're waiting for you, Gordon, in the test chamber.
• Don't just stand there! Pick up that gun and shoot it!
• For God's sake, open the silo door! They're coming for us! It's our only way out! (sees guard die) OH MY GOD, WE'RE DOOMED!
• There goes our grant money.
• (adjusting tie) Why do we all have to wear these ridiculous ties?
• (when asked to help) With my brains and your brawn we'll make an excellent team.
• Wouldn't you like to get some of these blood samples under a microscope?
• (when grouped together with two others) I'm going to capture one of these crabs! (the other 2) My god, man, are you crazy?
• (upon telling them to stop following) Why are you leaving me here?
• (upon telling them to stop following) Slowing you down, am I?
• (Blue Shift; to security guard) Shouldn't you be guarding some doughnuts and coffee?
• Do you know who ate all the doughnuts?
• Help me Gordon!

Security guards

• (upon killing an enemy) Heh ha! Got another one!
• (upon killing an enemy) Man, did you see that shot?
• (in close proximity to dead aliens) Ewww, what's that stench?
• Heh...that'll look nice in my trophy room.
• We're all lucky if we survive this day.
• (when asked to help) Okay, why not? Didn't want to die alone anyway.
• (draws gun) STAND BACK! (sees that its Gordon Freeman) Oh, it's just you. (holsters his pistol)
• (Opposing Force; Otis) Hello Soldier Sir! (grabs electrified fence and dies)
• (Otis) Mmm...candy! Stupid machines! Why don't these ever seem to work?
• Now I wonder if those boys could have made a bigger mess?
• (upon getting fired at) Hey!
• (upon getting fired at) Stop that!
• (upon getting fired at) Your going to wish you hadn't done that!
• (upon getting fired at) I only take so much... and no more!
• (upon getting fired at) End of the line for you
• (upon seeing fellow getting fired at) Hey! What do you think your doing?

G-Man

• (Half Life) Gordon Freeman, in the flesh - or, rather, in the hazard suit. I took the liberty of relieving you of your weapons. Most of them were government property. As for the suit, I think you've earned it. The borderworld, Xen, is in our control, for the time being... thanks to you. Quite a nasty piece of work you managed over there, I am impressed. That's why I'm here, Mr. Freeman. I have recommended your services to my ... employers, and they have authorized me to offer you a job. They agree with me that you have limitless potential. You've proved yourself a decisive man so I don't expect you'll have any trouble deciding what to do. If you're interested, just step into the portal and I will take that as a yes. Otherwise, well... I can offer you a battle you have no chance of winning; rather an anticlimax after what you've just survived. Time to choose... It's time to choose...

• (Acception of Employment) Wisely done, Mr. Freeman. I will see you up ahead.

• (Decline Employment) Well it looks like we won't be working together, no regrets Mr. Freeman, but there are a few survivors of your personal holocaust, who would like to meet the man responsible for the total annihilation of their race.

• (Half Life: Opposing Force) So... Corporal Shephard, we meet at last. Please don't think I have been avoiding you, a great many matters require my attention in these troubled times, I do hope you understand. And now I require a further indulgence on your part. I cannot close my report until every loose end has been tied up. The biggest embarrasment has been the Black Mesa Facility but I think that's finally taking care of itself... quite so. But there is still the lingering matter of witnesses. I admit I have a fascination with those who adapt and survive against all odds... they rather remind me of myself, and if for no other reason I have argued to preserve you for a time. While I believe civil servants like yourself understand the importance of discretion, my Employers are not quite so trusting, and rather than continually subject you to the irresistable human temptation of telling all, we have decided to... convey you somewhere you can do no possible harm, and where no harm can come to you... I'm sure you can imagine there are worse alternatives.

Black Mesa Tram Announcer

• ’’’(Half Life)’’’–Good morning, and welcome to the Black Mesa Transit System. This automated train is provided for the security and convenience of the Black Mesa Research Facility personnel. The time is eight-forty seven A.M... Current outside temperature is ninety-three degrees with an estimated high of one hundred and five. The Black Mesa compound is maintained at a pleasant sixty-eight degrees at all times. This train is inbound from Level Three dormitories to Sector C Test Labs and Control Facilities. If your intended destination is a high security area beyond Sector C, you will need to return to the Central Transit hub in Area Nine and board a high security train. If you have not yet submitted your identity to the retinal clearance system, you must report to Black Mesa personnel for processing before you will be permitted into the high security branch of the transit system. Due to the high toxicity of material routinely handled in the Black Mesa compound, no smoking, eating, or drinking are permitted within the Black Mesa Transit System. Please keep your limbs inside the train at all times. Do not attempt to open the doors until the train has come to a complete halt at the station platform. In the event of an emergency, passengers are to remain seated and await further instruction. If it is necessary to exit the train, disabled personnel should be evacuated first. Please, stay away from electrified rails, and proceed to an emergency station until assistance arrives. A reminder that the Black Mesa Hazard Course decathlon will commence this evening at 1900 hours in the Level Three facility. The semi-finals for high security personnel will be announced in a separate secure access transmission. Remember, more lives than your own may depend on your fitness. Do you have a friend or relative who make a valuable addition to the Black Mesa team? Immediate openings are available in the areas of “Materials Handling” and “Low Clearance Security.” Please contact Black Mesa personnel for further information. If you have an associate with a background in the areas of “Theoretical Physics,” “Biotechnology,” or other high-tech disciplines, please contact our civilian recruitment division. The Black Mesa Research Facility is an equal-opportunity employer. A reminder to all Black Mesa personnel: Regular radiation and biohazard screenings are a requirement of continued employment in the Black Mesa Research Facility. Missing a scheduled urinalysis or radiation check-up is grounds for immediate termination. If you feel you have been exposed to radioactive or other hazardous materials in the course of your duties, contact your radiation safety officer immediately. Work safe, work smart. Your future depends on it. Now arriving at Sector C Test Labs and Control Facilities. Please stand back from the automated door and wait for the security officer to verify your identity. Before exiting the train, be sure to check your area for personal belongings. Thank you, and have a very safe and productive day.

• (When a grenade thrown in their direction) OH SHIT!
• Forget about Freeman!
• (grunt conversation about Gordon; soldier 1) So who is this guy Freeman? (soldier 2) They say he was at 'ground zero'. (soldier 1) Science Team, you think he was responsible? Sabotage maybe? (soldier 2) Yeah maybe! All I know for sure is that he's been killin' my buddies. (soldier 1) Oh yeah, he'll pay, he will definitely pay.
• (military radio; soldier calling airstrikes) Come in, Cooper. Do you copy? Forget about Freeman! We're abandoning the base. If you have any last bomb targets mark them on the tactical map! Otherwise get the hell outta there! Repeat, we are pulling out and commencing airstrikes. Give us targets or get below!
