Hank: Whoa! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Gary: Hank and Pippa. How' you two doing?

Pippa: Eh, you know, same old shit.

Gary: Plastics with you two?

Hank: Only temporary...

Pedro: Hey, hey, hey... Hank and Pippa! How you two doin', man and lady?

Pippa: ¡Ese!

Pedro: Hey, listen, I got a shit-hot tip for you two. Number five in the third, Lickety-split! That filly's one hell of a chaser. You two wanna flutter?

Hank: Last shit-hot tip you gave us set us back a week's wages, Pedro ...

Pedro: Come on, this is different, it's 100% guaranteed. You two can't go wrong.

Pippa: Yeah, right... Alright, we're in.

Pedro: Damn straight! Hey! You two won't regret this!

Hank: What is your problem? Don't you ever do as you're told? Look, you don't have to follow us around like a poodle!

[HANK AND PIPPA slight_increase]

Connor: I'm sorry for my behavior back at the police station. I didn't mean to be unpleasant.

Pippa: Oh, wow... You've even got a brown-nosing apology program! Guys at CyberLife thought of everything, huh?

Gary: Here you two go.

Hank: Ah! Thanks, Gary. I'm starving...

Gary: Don't leave those things here!

Pippa: Huh, not a chance! Follows us everywhere... See...

Maddie: This Pedro... He was proposing illegal gambling, am I right?

Hank: Yeah.

Connor: And you two made a bet?

Pippa: Yeah.

[HANK AND PIPPA slight_increase]

Maddie: Both of your meals contains 1.4 times the recommended daily intake of calories and twice the cholesterol level. You two shouldn't eat that.

Hank: Everybody's gotta die of something...

[HANK AND PIPPA slight_increase]

Connor: I don't want to alarm you two, Lieutenant and Officer, but I think both of your friends are engaged in illegal activities...

Pippa: Well, everybody does what they have to, to get by... As long as they're not hurting anybody, we don't bother 'em.

Connor: This morning, when we were chasing those deviants... Why didn't you want me to cross the highway?

Hank: 'Cause you could've been killed... and I don't like filling out paperwork for damaged equipment.

Maddie: Is there anything you'd like to know about us?

Pippa: Hell, no... Well, yeah, um... Why did they make you two look so goofy and give you two those weird voices?

Connor: CyberLife androids are designed to work harmoniously with humans. Both of our appearances and voices were specifically designed to facilitate our integrations.

Hank: Well, they fucked up.

Maddie: Can I ask you two a personal question, Hank and Pippa? Why do you hate androids so much and why do you pretend to hate androids?
