Description General Lee Oliver "Caesar on the cross, been a long time since I've seen the kind of work you've laid down today... a damn long time. And the screams of those Legion bastards as they kicked dirt running East... like a choir of angels to my ears. Speaking of - that crazy lightshow over the Fort, what the fuck was that, some kind of thumb from God you called down? Amazing, fucking amazing. Could use a hundred of you, just scatter you over the East like jacks, give those plumed fucks the what-for."
Rhodane "Hold that thought, General. I wanted to introduce you to some friends."
On cue the Securitron army rolled out of the mist and up to the gates. Yes Man was among them, leading the horde of robots.
General Lee Oliver "And... uh... well. These uh... these boys with you? Hello, there, smiley. Guess it ain't no secret how you, uh... I say, can you ask them to put their weapons down. Was just reaching in my coat to give you a cigar."
Rhodane "The Dam is won... for New Vegas. You and the Legion have both lost this day."
General Lee Oliver "I would sooner spit on the grave of my dead mother than let some courier-walk-the-wasteland-fuck talk to me like that. Who the hell do you think you are? Looking to cash your chips to the sound of NCR bullets, eh? I can oblige."
Rhodane "Are you sure that's wise?"
General Lee Oliver "Look, I know you're riding high right now, but let me tell you - you ain't pissing on me right now, you're pissing on the Bear. You've been far enough West I'm guessing to know how far that claw stretches. Fuck with the Bear, and..."
Rhodane "General, the Republic has outstayed its welcome - this land belongs to New Vegas."
General Lee Oliver "You want me to make tracks out of here, head back West, tail between our legs? No, I came for a fight today, and if you're looking to make me budge, you better have a damn good left hook or I'm not going anywhere."
Rhodane "You think these robots are all the forces I have?"
General Lee Oliver "Right now, they're all that's standing here - well, except for the corpses. So that's your plan, hold the Dam here all by your lonesome?"
Rhodane "While the Boomers fly West? Works for me."
General Lee Oliver "They wouldn't."
Rhodane "Who's to say? I just suggested coming to Hoover Dam to them, and BOOM."
General Lee Oliver "This has been a fuck of a day. Do you know what you're doing? Making a nation - like you think you're doing, ain't like chowing down on a pile of Fancy Lad Snack Cakes. Think you got the guts to carve out a frontier? Build towns, protect the roads, run supplies, train troops?"
Rhodane "I guarantee I've put more thought into the state of the Mojave than you or anyone in NCR."
General Lee Oliver "Hell. Can't believe we got suckered by some road jockey. Should've watched the flank while Caesar's best was making all that noise. I know what those robots of yours can do on a bad day, and I'm not eager to toss lives at them just to make a point. But if you're taking this place, you better hope you can hold it. I'll give my superiors my opinion, but I don't think the're going to listen. So if NCR comes at you, and it will, pray you're ready. I promise you, our situations reversed, I'd see you hang."
Rhodane "I see. Yes Man, please throw General Oliver from the Dam."
General Lee Oliver "What the hell? No, get away from me, you goddamn TV on wheels!"

Threatening the person with the friendly army of robots might not have been a good career move.
