Marcus Kincaid/Quotes

In-Game Quotes

Borderlands

• Don't worry about saying goodbye; I'm sure we'll do this all again soon enough. - said in the bus, this is a reference to the 2nd Playthrough. The second half has become one of Marcus's catchphrases, and he repeats it throughout all Borderlands titles.
• You've done well! I've decided to reopen my Fyrestone franchise, thanks to you! Head into town and buy some new gear!

Entering the shop

• "Don't be shy, come right in!"
• "Welcome to my shop!"
• "Come on in, and take a look around!"
• "Hello! Let me know if there is anything I can do for you."
• "Come in, come in. Have a look around."
• "Enter friend! How can I help you?"
• "If I can't find you what you need, it can't be found on Pandora."

Leaving the shop

• "I hope to see you again soon."
• "Talk to you later!"
• "Keep at it, my friend!"

Before Seek Out Tannis

• "I understand that believing in the improbable gives us hope, but if that Vault existed, someone would have found it decades ago."
• "Far be it from me to put a damper on chasing a dream, but that Vault's about as likely as having Skags invite us to a tea party. One lump or two?"
• "I'm pretty sure I've seen this rock from top to bottom - if that Vault did exist, you can bet I'd know."

After Seek Out Tannis

• "So maybe I was wrong about the Vault, but I'm sure glad I was!"
• "Well, it's like I have been saying... each new day brings new possibilities. Yesterday no Vault, today Vault!"
• "Hell, I'd give half my stock to charity to get a peek in that Vault - I bet I'd make double back just offa one piece of what's in there!"

After The Next Piece

• "I'm extremely connected here - people want something, they go through me. Tannis, though... she's got support from someone else - someone even I can't track down."
• "You gotta admire the kind of drive she's got, but I think she's hiding something."
• "Tannis? I hear she's a little, you know, out there. Keeps to herself, mostly."

After Smoke Signals: Shut Them Down

• "Well, those Crimson Lance fellows came with some nice stuff, but stuff breaks - and when it does, guess who they'll need?"
• "One thing's for sure - if the Lance are here, Atlas hasn't abandoned this planet."
• "Hey, new soldiers means new business, can't be bad!"

After The Final Piece

• "This is awful! The Crimson Lance is nothing but a bunch of mercenaries!"
• "I don't know what they're doing here, but they're not gonna run this show!"
• "We've been through plenty troubles here, but we've never been shut down like this. I can't do business this way!"
• "When I'm back on-line, I'm taking those guys off the Preferred Customer List, first thing!"

The Secret Armory of General Knoxx

• Hello! Marcus here! I've got an opportunity for you. Come see me at my place in T-Bone Junction.
• I've managed to purchase the warehouse you blew up. You'd be amazed at how much I managed to salvage. If you do some work for me, I'll let you have a little shopping spree. What do you say?" - Before Mop Up

Claptrap's New Robot Revolution

• It's a beautiful day on Pandora. Well, apart from the mechanical armageddon... - Cutscene intro

You'll be compensated, of course. - Upon acquiring Old Spicy

• "My guns aren't just highly effective against bandits, skags, varkids, et cetera! They're also great for fighting mutated plant people! I just never had to advertise that before."

• "Sure, I've got vending machines on planets all over, but THIS is why I stay on Pandora! Right in the thick of the action with all you crazy Vault Hunters! (sigh) There's nothing like it. And nothing more profitable!"
• "My stockroom, up in flames! Good thing I moved all of my liquid assets into eridium! Earl's been looking after it for me."
• "I remember when Dahl left this planet. I made a FORTUNE off those unarmed settlers, heh-heh! Whenever a corporation leaves, I move in. Like a capitalist bedbug."
• "I can't wait to see what jackass tries to take over this planet next. What can I say? War is good business! (laugh) \n What? It is."
