Psychonauts/Unused Dialogue
This is a sub-page of Psychonauts.
Oh wow. Sometimes, you have no idea how morbid the things in these pages can be. This page contains content that is not safe for life, whether it be you or anyone in proximity to you. Such as: Sounds of children burning to death. |

Cutscene Lines
The individual voice lines for the dialogue of pretty much every pre-rendered cutscene in the game are present in the soundbanks of their respect levels. Since the audio is baked into these cutscenes, the raw voice line sound files go completely unused.
It's likely that during development, these lines were simply grouped with all the other lines for each level and were packed into the soundbanks by accident. This is evidenced by the fact that Coach's lines in the Basic Braining soundbank have been put through the same filter as the rest of his lines for that level, showing that they were batch-processed with all the other lines.
Raz's Names
Raz referring to himself by different names.
Name | Clip | Subtitle |
---|---|---|
CANT002RAa | Hey. I'm Angus. | |
CANT004RAa | Dare is what they call me back home. | |
CANT008RAa | My parents call me Finn. I think they wanted a fish. |
Camp
Late for Basic Braining
You can't read the message boards until after you've done Basic Braining. However, there is data for a board post that only exists before you can actually read it:
"If you're reading this then you're late for class! Report for Basic Braining immediately to avoid detention in the Geodesic Psychoisolation Chamber. --Coach Oleander."
Lili Gives Raz the Smelling Salts
It appears that Lili originally gave Raz the smelling salts instead of Maloof.

CALU010LI | Lili: Hey... you wanna cut class later? Try the smelling salts. | |
CALU011LI | Lili: They'll pop you out of anyone's mind and back to the real world before you can say "Crud! That hurts my nose!" | |
CALU012RA | Raz: Out of anyone's mind? | |
CALU013LI | Lili: You'll find out... | |
CALU014LI | Lili: Now mush! We don't want you late for class! | |
CALU015RA | Raz: Why do you care if I'm late for class? | |
CALU016LI | Lili: Because the late thing is my thing! Don't copy! |
Linda Eats Lili
This clip is positioned right after "Oh no! You DIDN'T just hit my boyfriend!" implying that Raz would've said this when Lili got eaten by Linda the lungfish. Instead, he just yells her name.

Uncut Lines

BBLI009BZ | Bobby: Eh, eh-heh! Eh, eh, eh-eh! Eh, eh-eh! Eh, eh, eh-eh! |
Bobby's teasing taunt after he kicks Raz off the ledge. The cutscene cuts him off during the second time around.
Name | Clip | Subtitle |
---|---|---|
BBLI017LI | Lili: Hmmmm... No. You're not gonna get into my dreams that easy. |
Lili's response to Raz asking about her nightmares. The cutscene omits everything after "no."
Brain Tumbler Experiment
Temporary Dogen Sound
Among the audio files for the Brain Tumbler Experiment is a file named NI_dogenbrain_temp.wav, which is a short sound bite from The Wizard of Oz of the Scarecrow singing, "if I only had a brain", most likely put in as a jokey placeholder.
Milla's Dance Party
Orphanage Tragedy
There is an... unsettling room inside Milla's Dance Party that, along with the nearby Memory Reel, reveals that the orphanage where Milla worked had burned down with the children inside. Unused are some voice lines from Milla where she seems to almost be reliving the experience.
Some (though not all) of these are referenced in the script files, but in an odd place - the Figment scripts. A "FigmentSounds" script class exists that seems to be intended to tie specific Figments to sound files that would play when they are collected, though it seems that this was only ever done with Milla's level. MINO036MI through MINO044MI were at some point tied to Figments in Milla's level, and would play when certain Figments were collected.
After you hear these... you can imagine why they weren't used in-game. Listen to at your own risk
Name | Clip | Subtitle |
---|---|---|
MINO036MI | Who's going to adopt these poor children? | |
MINO037MI | Hey, what's that smoke over the village? | |
MINO038MI | Ohhhhh! | |
MINO039MI | Ahh! The orphanage! It's on fire! | |
MINO040MI | Oh, no! | |
MINO041MI | The children! Some one save the children! | |
MINO042MI | Please! Some one help! | |
MINO043MI | Oh god no! | |
MINO044MI | The babies! | |
MINO045MI | I can hear them! | |
MINO046MI | Can't you hear them! | |
MINO047MI | They're screaming! | |
MINO048MI | They're frightened! | |
MINO049MI | Don't cry, my darlings! | |
MINO050MI | Please stop crying! | |
MINO051MI | Pleeeease! | |
MINO052MI | (crying) | |
MINO053MI | (crying) | |
MINO054MI | (crying) |
Milla and Sasha's Makeout
Milla and Sasha... romantically involved? These were likely intended for the make-out room, which Milla gives mention to, but is never seen.
Name | Clip | Subtitle |
---|---|---|
MINO028MI | Ahhh. | |
MINO029MI | Sasha... | |
MINO030MI | I don't care! I don't care who's looking! |
Cameras
Some scripted lines about the in-game camera, or some cameras in the party itself. The lines also reference rock stars, being a celebrity and a party that only opens for celebrities. Perhaps there was going to be a puzzle sequence where Raz and other PSI cadets had to prove himself of rock or music stardom to be able to proceed further.
Name | Clip | Subtitle |
---|---|---|
MITU043MI | Oh, some of these places can be so exclusive! | |
MITU044MI | Anyway, I'm sure once you show them what a rock star you are, doors are gonna open for you baby. | |
MITU045MI | You know I love you, darling, but you have to make the camera love you too. | |
MITU046MI | In fact, you have to make all the cameras love you. | |
MITU047MI | Being a rock star isn't easy! | |
MITU048MI | I know you can do it! | |
MITU049MI | Razputin dominates the airwaves! | |
MITU050MI | I need rock stars like you at my party! | |
MITU051MI | Get down here! |
Dancers
There are a few scripts pertaining 2 cut characters. They both have the same lines, and the sound files use the same names, except that the high-pitched girl's files end with a B, and the lower-pitched girl's with an L. These don't even have subtitle text.

Misc.
Some misc. lines. She seems to be conversing with a group of friends and discussing events right in front of her, so maybe the party at the end of the level was meant to have more unique (or just lots more) NPCs and look more like a conventional party. Since the party in the final product features the same architecture and similar level design philosophy from previous parts of the level, this may have been cut due to time constraints.
Name | Clip | Subtitle |
---|---|---|
MITU099MI | Which do you like better--spinach or onion dip? | |
MITU100MI | You know, I was hoping someone would bring that spinach dip in a bread bowl thing to the party, but nobody did. | |
MITU101MI | Then again, last time I had that, I walked around for an hour with spinach stuck between my teeth! | |
MITU102MI | Hey, you two! Get a room! | |
MITU103MI | Oh, thank you babydoll! So do you! | |
MITU104MI | Yeah, yeah, yeah. Call me! | |
MITU105MI | Hey you! | |
MITU106MI | Hi there! | |
MITU107MI | Oh, I'm so glad you guys could make it! | |
MITU108MI | Yeah, isn't it? | |
MITU109MI | Just throw your coat on the bed there. | |
MITU110MI | What are you talking about? You look great! | |
MITU111MI | Okay, that's definitely not Francois' wife! | |
MITU112MI | Oh my. Are THOSE two back together? | |
MITU113MI | No, no, no. Don't drink that. I saw someone put a cigarette out in there. | |
MITU114MI | Yay, shake that thing, beautiful. | |
MITU115MI | Down the hallway to the right! | |
MITU116MI | No, no. That's a closet. | |
MITU117MI | Now go mingle in the real world for a while. | |
MITU118MI | And tell Sasha I say hello! |
Asylum Grounds
Boyd
Speaker | Clip | Subtitle |
---|---|---|
Raz | Hey, did you happen to see a girl drop this bracelet? | |
Boyd | How could I see anything? When we've all got our heads in the sand? |
This exchange is wired up to be used when showing Lili's bracelet to Boyd, but it can never actually play because Boyd's special handling for playing the different dialogues when talking to him will completely stomp the default handling for showing him items. This handling is disabled after completing his level, but at that point he's deleted and replaced with a separate "Milkman" NPC regardless, so this interaction can never happen.
Milkman Conspiracy
Boyd
Speaker | Clip | Subtitle |
---|---|---|
Raz | Hey, take off your hat and I'll give your bangs a little touch up with these. | |
Boyd | Ha ha. Nice attempt to get my hat. Anyway, I took the microfilm out of there days ago. |
This dialogue was intended to play when using the hedge trimmers on Boyd, but his interaction table uses the incorrect name for the item so it never plays.
Asylum Couryard
Fred's Pieces
Due to two code oversights, 3 short conversations with Fred regarding his different real world game "pieces" go unused. All of them foreshadow the elements in his mental world.
Gnome
Speaker | Clip | Subtitle |
---|---|---|
Raz | These little lawn gnome guys sure get around. | |
Fred | That's my carpenter. He fixes bridges! | |
Napoleon | Which I love to break! Ha ha! |
Teddy Bear
Speaker | Clip | Subtitle |
---|---|---|
Raz | Wow, a teddy bear. Those crazy kids... | |
Fred | That's not a teddy bear! That's my hearty knight! He's going to storm the castle! | |
Napoleon | I will believe that when I see it! |
Gurney Wheel
Speaker | Clip | Subtitle |
---|---|---|
Raz | Looks like a rusty old wheel off one of those rusty old gurneys. | |
Fred | Don't make fun of my militia men! Those guys are hard to recruit! | |
Napoleon | Not if they were inspired by their leader, or paid well, or well armed, or even fed! | |
Fred | I'm trying! |
Black Velvetopia
Placeholder Lines
In the voice files for Black Velvetopia are various lines of dialogue attributed to Raz, but spoken by a completely different person instead of Richard Horvitz. They were most likely used as demo lines for scripting.
Name | Clip | Subtitle |
---|---|---|
BVTI001RAa | You shut up. | |
BVWP010RA | Whoauugh! |
Raz telling somebody to shut up, and exclaiming. The latter was probably intended for being caught by the bull.
Name | Clip | Subtitle |
---|---|---|
GLPP000RA | Poor guy, looks beat. | |
GLPP001RA | Hey, wake up you! I need a PSI-Popper! |
These lines (which seem to be misplaced, as the "GL" prefix indicates they should be global) were intended for Psi-Popper Generators, which do display these lines as text when interacted with while asleep, but don't actually attempt to call on these sound files.
Waterloo World
Higher-Pitched Snail Dialogue
The snails in Waterloo World have two versions of each of their sound files: the ones that play in-game, and the same lines pitch-shifted higher.
