General
Dialogue ID | Dialogue | Character | Subtitles |
---|---|---|---|
41362816 | Sam | We've already had our fun with that. | |
Meant to be used after getting Lincoln's voice in the Organic Listening Device, but in the final game you can keep using the bug after that with no restrictions. | |||
42507264 | Sam | I don't need a machine to tell me how old I am. | |
This line was seemingly written back when the Carbon Dating Machine could be "used" on objects. In the finished game, it acts like the Big Gun with an on-screen reticle, so Sam can no longer target himself. |
Office
Dialogue ID | Dialogue | Character | Subtitles |
---|---|---|---|
41235712 | Guard | Just doing my part, sir. I have a door to guard. | |
This line is grouped with the rest of the telephone dialogue. Might have been meant to play after getting Abe Lincoln's voice in the Organic Listening Device, but at that point, Sam can't call the guard anymore. | |||
41580160 | Sam | I keep wanting to wave back. | |
41580288 | Max | You're just naturally friendly, Sam. | |
Probably meant to be said in the middle of one of the three different televised addresses. | |||
41596032 | Sam | You can't give the money to yourself, Max. | |
41596160 | Sam | It'd be a conflict of interest and cause a huge scandal. | |
41596288 | Max | Okay then. I'll have the last five minutes of this conversation erased from the tape. | |
In the finished game, Jesse James' trophied hand is revealed to be a fourteen-year-old forgery. It seems that in an early draft, the hand was legit, making the office a historic monument and eligible for federal big bucks. |
Streets
Dialogue ID | Dialogue | Character | Subtitles |
---|---|---|---|
41586688 | Sam | How are we supposed to get to the White House? | |
41586816 | Max | We could start out as district attorneys, then back-stab our way up to the governor's office, raise about a dozen million in campaign funds, get involved in a sex scandal which we'll deny, then cheat our way into the presidency. | |
41586944 | Sam | Or I suppose we could take the DeSoto. | |
41587072 | Max | Sure, if you want to do it the DULL way. | |
This conversation with Max would make sense if gameplay began at the office, like in previous episodes, but Sam & Max arrive at the White House immediately after the intro ends. | |||
41587200 | Sam | What's the weather like in Washington DC? | |
41587328 | Max | Windy enough to blow the dress off an intern. | |
Another Washington conversation, likely unlocked after the previous cut dialogue. | |||
42192768 | Sam | It's lost its stick. | |
A message for trying to put the "Give Me All You Got!" poster back on the wall of posters. Unlinked in the final game, so Sam gives one of his generic "Nothing doing" responses instead. | |||
40321792 | Hugh | Oooo! I'm SO glad you asked! | |
40321920 | Max | Me too! | |
Meant to play after Sam asks what Hugh Bliss is doing in the neighborhood. Instead, the game skips straight to the explanation. | |||
40324992 | Sam | So you're recruiting simpletons into your wacky cult? | |
40325120 | Hugh | Oh, Sam. | |
40325248 | Max | I can't believe you just said that, Sam. | |
40325376 | Hugh | I'm not angry with you, Sam. I'm just very disappointed. | |
40325504 | Max | Anger is redness, and redness is but a part of the light. | |
40325632 | Hugh | Prismatology embraces the colors within us all! | |
40325760 | Max | We channel our redness into the pale yellow of contentment! | |
40325888 | Sam | Sigh. | |
The first of many dialogues between Sam and other characters that got cut. The actual question isn't in the game's text files anymore. | |||
40329600 | Sam | Managed to convert any non-believers today? | |
40329728 | Hugh | I don't convert people, silly! | |
40329856 | Max | Yeah, silly! | |
40329984 | Hugh | I simply awaken the magic of Prismatology already within them! | |
Whatever Sam asked in the previous cut conversation, asking that same question again would prompt this dialogue. | |||
40332800 | Hugh | Things you can't imagine! And things you've always known to be true! | |
40332928 | Hugh | The wonder of dreams! And the magic of reality! | |
40333056 | Max | That's like six books in one! I'll take a case of them! | |
40333184 | Hugh | Plus... it has an appendix! | |
After Sam asks Hugh what Prismatology is about, he says "It's about everything! And nothing at all!". His further elaborations were cut from the final game. | |||
40333824 | Sam | So you're giving them away? | |
40333952 | Hugh | Yes, take one! Hooray! | |
40334080 | Sam | I'll pass. | |
This conversation should unlock after asking how much the books cost, but it doesn't. That's why it's unused, you see. |
Bosco's
Dialogue ID | Dialogue | Character | Subtitles |
---|---|---|---|
41715584 | Bosco | I know you are listening! But you are hearing nothing! | |
41715712 | Bosco | Am simple Russian citizen making new life in US of A! | |
If it was possible to use the Organic Listening Device on Bosco, these would be used. But, as established in the previous episode, the O.L.D. has an agreement with Bosco to refrain from the spying. | |||
41605632 | Sam | Top story: "How I Plan to Murder my Partner". | |
41605760 | Max | They took everything I said completely out of context. | |
Bosco's magazine selection was meant to change this episode, it seems. The textures for these magazines isn't in the game's file, if it was even drawn at all. | |||
42301184 | Sam | "Weekly World Leader News". | |
42301312 | Sam | According to this, the prime minister of Belgium is a vampire and the UN Secretary General has a parasitic twin that he keeps hidden under his coat! | |
Another sampling from Bosco's theoretical stack of new crap. | |||
42303360 | Sam | "C&C Inc". | |
42303488 | Sam | This month's issue covers the basics of chapter eleven filings! | |
This was obviously cut from the game for being far too exciting. |
Sybil's
Dialogue ID | Dialogue | Character | Subtitles |
---|---|---|---|
46239360 | Sam | Hey Max, take a look at that. | |
46239616 | Sam | What's your problem? It's just a heart. | |
There's an object label for a "Heart Pot" in the game's text files, which probably refers to the heart-shaped cactus pots in Sybil's office. They're unclickable in the final game, though, so this dialogue never plays. | |||
41408000 | Sybil | Cut that out. | |
After screwing around with Sybil's intercom, Sybil would reply with this line. Instead, the game recycles her response from the previous three episodes. | |||
41412352 | Max | It's vinyl. Just check the barcode at the bottom. | |
The "Nice cactus. Saguaro?" line was meant to be reused in this episode, with a new response from Max. New dialogue was written instead. | |||
42940672 | Sybil | I've been using them to wipe the sweat of desperation off the dating applications. | |
Clicking the tissue box should give this response, but instead, the game jumps to the "I'm afraid to touch those." line that plays after clicking the tissue box a second time. |
White House Ext.
Dialogue ID | Dialogue | Character | Subtitles |
---|---|---|---|
42423040 | Sam | This phone only takes Susan B. Anthony dollars. | |
Could have played after trying to use any ol' item on the Pay Phone. | |||
41652224 | Max | Ours, or someone else's? | |
This is grouped with the DeSoto dialogue, but it doesn't seem to mesh well with any of Sam's lines. | |||
41659648 | Sam | What are we supposed to be doing? | |
41659776 | Max | You're my campaign manager, Sam. You figure it out. | |
One of many "What are we doing?" conversations. This one would play after the election begins, but the conversation choice never pops up. |
White House Int.
Dialogue ID | Dialogue | Character | Subtitles |
---|---|---|---|
41678336 | Max | Beats me. I can't concentrate with that guard staring at me like that. | |
An alternate response for Max after being asked "What do we do now?" while Chuckles is in the room. | |||
42044160 | Sam | How does it work: does the mob control the government, or does the government control the mob? | |
41295616 | Chuckles | I have no idea what you're talking about. | |
Could have been triggered after asking what a Toy Mafia man is doing in the Secret Service. | |||
41673216 | Sam | This is a great office. | |
41673344 | Max | Meh. I'd add a foosball table and a habitrail. | |
Sam can only comment on the office while the puppet president is in office. If he could still ask about it while the election was going on, this would play. | |||
41673472 | Sam | How do you like your office, Max? | |
41673600 | Max | The place stinks of powdered wigs, jelly beans, booze, shredded documents, and some other things I'm not allowed to talk about. | |
More oval office opining, meant to occur after Max succeeds to the presidency. | |||
42293632 | Sam | Is that a Rothko? | |
42293760 | Max | No, Sam, it's a painting! | |
42293888 | Max | Sheesh! | |
New dialogue for the Oval Office painting during Max's presidency. Mark Rothko didn't do any portraits of Steve Purcell...that we know of. | |||
41623808 | Max | Math is hard! | |
The final line of the Secretary's Day dialogue was cut. Probably by Sam. | |||
40387200 | Max | You should try being the President! Oh yeah, you can't, because I am! | |
After Superball's "Finest job in the world, sir.", Max would try to one-up him with this line. | |||
40400384 | Sam | You could start with "bye". | |
Pinning the secretary ribbon on Superball prompts him to remark "I don't know what to say." A little jab from Sam was cut. | |||
40871424 | Sam | What's the dispute? | |
40871552 | Specs | We're negotiating for custody of Mount Rushmore. | |
40871680 | Peepers | "Negotiating"? That's a laugh! | |
40871808 | Specs | What do you mean by that? | |
40871936 | Peepers | We can't... never mind. | |
Fourteen(!) different conversations with the Soda Poppers crew are inaccessible in the final game. This is either a shame or a cause for celebration, depending on the player. | |||
40872064 | Sam | Everybody knows Mount Rushmore is in South Dakota. What's the problem? | |
40872192 | Max | Yeah! Everybody knows that! | |
40872320 | Specs | That's what I keep saying! | |
40872448 | Peepers | Wait one second! | |
40872576 | Whizzer | Remember the conditions of the armistice! | |
Like Hugh Bliss's cut dialogue, the dialogue tree text that would prompt these conversations isn't in the game anymore. | |||
41274496 | Sam | Maybe you guys should thumb-wrestle for Mount Rushmore. | |
41274624 | Max | Or Russian Roulette! | |
41274752 | Specs | No more fighting! | |
41274880 | Specs | Everything will be fine as long as we keep quiet and stay polite. | |
It should be easy to guess what that text would be, though. Not exactly rocket surgery. | |||
40872704 | Sam | Things seem tense. | |
40872832 | Specs | Everything was fine until they messed it up! | |
40873088 | Specs | I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that. | |
40873216 | Specs | But relations between our three states have been shaky ever since we had to draw the borders. | |
Not much I can elaborate on these. They're self-explanatory. | |||
40879232 | Sam | When are we going to see a Soda Poppers reunion special? | |
40879360 | Specs | When my brothers stop being such poop-heads! | |
40879488 | Whizzer | What was that? | |
40879616 | Specs | Never mind. | |
Hahaha, he said poop. | |||
41272320 | Sam | You guys aren't getting along? | |
41272448 | Specs | Well, just between you and me, I'm the only one who's really trying as governor. | |
41272576 | Specs | Whizzer can't be trusted with anything, and Peepers has all kinds of ridiculous ideas that will just mess everything up. | |
41272704 | Sam | So why don't you just tell them that? | |
41272832 | Specs | Oh, I could never say that to them! | |
41272960 | Specs | The last time I spoke my mind , it almost started a war! | |
42145280 | Max | Honesty is rarely the best policy. All us presidents know that. | |
If this is what they cut, what they left in must be pure gold! | |||
40896256 | Sam | What were your qualifications for governor? | |
40896384 | Peepers | I was a beloved TV celebrity! | |
40896512 | Max | Sold! | |
Cut conversation No.007. Max and Peepers have something in common! | |||
40887296 | Sam | Why do you think your state should get Mount Rushmore? | |
40887424 | Peepers | Because I'm the one with vision! | |
40887552 | Peepers | I've got big changes planned for the monument! | |
40887680 | Max | And our loyal subject has come to ask us to pose for it? | |
40887808 | Max | Very well. Make sure one gets our good side. | |
40887936 | Whizzer | Hey, no fair! Specs, he's buttering up the President! | |
Max's dreams of Rushmoredom were never realized. | |||
40888064 | Sam | Max wants to be on Mount Rushmore! | |
40865152 | Max | Ahem. | |
40888192 | Sam | Excuse me. His Imminence, the Honorable Ur-Max, Champion of the Sea and Sky, wants to be on Mount Rushmore. | |
40888320 | Sam | Excuse me. His Imminence, the Honorable Ur-Max, Champion of the Sea and Sky, wants to BE Mount Rushmore. | |
40888448 | Peepers | Yes, I heard. I'll see what my people can do. | |
Max has been described as "pure id". I don't know what they're talking about! | |||
41259392 | Sam | There seems to be some tension among the Soda Poppers. | |
41259520 | Peepers | Well there wouldn't be, if the other guys just stopped being such jerks! | |
41259648 | Sam | You're all brothers, right? Why don't you just talk it out? | |
41259776 | Peepers | Because Specs is a control freak and Whizzer's a fizzed-out soda junkie! | |
41259904 | Peepers | I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that. | |
Geez, there are really fourteen of these. | |||
40896640 | Sam | We hate it when you guys fight. | |
40896768 | Sam | Can't you see what it's doing to Max? | |
40896896 | Max | I'm curiously energized by the palpable tension! | |
41260032 | Peepers | If we all just stay cool and be polite, even though Specs is ruining absolutely everything... | |
41260160 | Peepers | I mean, everything will be fine if we just keep quiet. | |
Did you know that Sam & Max, as characters, actually date back to the seventies? It's true! | |||
40906368 | Sam | Is a giant sculpture really worth fighting for? | |
40906496 | Whizzer | It's not for the sculpture. It's for what the sculpture means to thousands of soda abuse survivors. | |
Whizzer like soda. | |||
40910080 | Sam | Which state did you get, again? | |
40910208 | Whizzer | The newly formed Commonwealth of West Dakota. | |
40910336 | Max | I still say you're making that up. | |
40910464 | Specs | Where were you guys? It was the top news story in every newspaper in the world! | |
40910592 | Sam | We're American, buddy. | |
40910720 | Max | We only care about the news that happens in a ten foot radius around us at any given moment. | |
Biting social commentary. Well, "nibbling", maybe. | |||
40916096 | Sam | How goes the recovery process? | |
40916224 | Whizzer | I had a minor set-back earlier, but I'm getting stronger. | |
40916352 | Whizzer | As long as nobody takes advantage of my weakness again, I should be able to beat this thing. | |
40916480 | Sam | Max, you ever get a feeling of dread in the pit of your stomach, like you're about to do something really horrible? | |
40916608 | Max | I usually just hum the "Soda Poppers" theme to myself until it goes away. | |
Oh thank goodness, the last one. This one gives a hint on how to resolve the Mt. Rushmore dispute. | |||
42135168 | Sam | We need to get into that room! | |
42135296 | Sam | In case you haven't heard, there's a war on! | |
42135424 | Guard | Sorry, sir. I have my orders. | |
Trying to get in the War Room while the guard is still there could prompt this dialogue. Doesn't, but could. |

PEEPERS: Plenty! Snowmen, snow angels, snow forts, snowball fights, homemade ice cream, and of course the majesty of Mount Rushmore! |
This is just an alternate take of one of Peepers' longer lines.
War Room
Dialogue ID | Dialogue | Character | Subtitles |
---|---|---|---|
41806080 | Sam | Fancy. Cookies with gold leaf and the presidential seal. | |
41806208 | Sam | "Congratulations on your prolonged engagement". | |
41806336 | Max | They give the sugar rush my body needs to launch unprovoked nuclear strikes. I like that. | |
This was meant to play after clicking the plate of cookies for the first time. Instead, the game skips to the dialogue for clicking the cookies subsequent times. | |||
41437696 | Sam | The homing beacon has been destroyed. | |
41437824 | Max | Of all the explosions I've caused in my career, that's the one I'm most proud of. | |
Dialogue only plays after viewing each beacon monitor for the first time. | |||
41455616 | Sam | It's the homing beacon to the Kremlin, but it's not working. | |
New dialogue was recorded for viewing those locations subsequent times, but the game is silent instead. | |||
41438592 | Sam | Do you want to wait around for the impact, Max? | |
41438720 | Max | Nah. Once you've seen one peaceful world destroyed in an explosive cataclysm of fire and death, you've seen them all. | |
Similar dialogue for planet Krypton, set to blow up any year now. | |||
41457280 | Sam | It's the targeting beacon for Bosco's Inconvenience Store. | |
It sure is, Sam. It sure is. | |||
41796608 | Sam | We've got to stop Lincoln's mind-enslaving rampage! | |
41796736 | Max | If only we had a stockpile of nuclear missiles at our command! | |
A Max conversation that's never prompted anywhere in the game. | |||
41798528 | Sam | War is hell, Max. | |
41798656 | Max | It's hell on my button-pushing finger, that's for sure. I think I'm getting a blister! | |
Another cut conversation. Max keeps a close watch on his imminent Carpal tunnel. |

Before the missile obliterates Honest Abe, Max was meant to get one final quip. |
Unused Graphics
This graphic was used back when the war song had subtitles (see next section).
War Song Subtitles
The lengthy song sequence near the end of the game has subtitles in english.langdb, but they're never displayed in the game. Considering that this is the most ambitious sequence Telltale had done up to this point, they may have had problems syncing the lines up to the action and decided to put everything in a single audio track. Note that the subtitles don't match the actual lyrics exactly.
The war song would finally receive subtitles in the remastered release of the episode but unfortunately since the remaster no longer has dialogue icons, the above graphic for the agents doesn't make an appearance.
