Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_01) Go ahead, Dr. Freeman. See if you can hit that crate with the supplied ammunition.
(kleiner_02) Oh fie. This is quite unexpected. Wait right where you are, Dr. Freeman. Don't move until I return.



Muffled speech:
(haz_pa01) Where's the subject?
(haz_pa02) What's going on in there? Look at these readings, it seems to be...
(haz_pa03) Get him back on course. We need reimmersion therapy now.



G-Man:
(gman_12a) Cleverly done, Mr. Freeman, but you're not supposed to be here. As a matter of fact, you're not.
(gman_12b) Get back where you belong, and forget about all this, until
(gman_12c) we meet
(gman_12d) again.



Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_03) Well, that's just fine. You may advance to next area now.



Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_04) Well, I've been advised that you should continue to the next area. Please proceed.
(kleiner_05) Good enough. Please proceed to the next area.
(kleiner_06) Excellent. I really have to hand it to Gordon. He's done the impossible once again.
(kleiner_07) Oh fie.

G-Man
(gman_12) Cleverly done, Mr. Freeman, but you're not supposed to be here. As a matter of fact, you're not. Get back where you belong, and forget about all this, until we meet again.

Barney:
(barney_01) Hey, Doc? Doctor Kleiner? Look who's here.

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_02) Blast that little... where did she get to?
(kleiner_03) Lamarr! Come out of there!

Barney:
(barney_04) Doc. Someone here to meet you.

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_05) What is it, Barney? Another fugitive? You can't keep dragging in every stray you...
(kleiner_06) Oh, my goodness.

Barney:
(barney_07) Hehheh, I thought that would get your attention.

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_08) Is... is it really? I just... Gordon Freeman? I had given up hope. It is Gordon, isn't it? And why... why on earth did you bring him here, Barney? If they follow him here, my work is ruined!

Barney:
(barney_09) It's okay, Doc. Relax. So far we haven't set off any alarms though we should keep moving.

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_10) Well if you say so. But I really think this is most unwise. It could jeopardize not only Gordon's mission, but years of my research!

Barney:
(barney_11) Don't mind him, Gordon, we've all been on edge.

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_12) I... I do apologize, Gordon. Of course I'm delighted to see you. Absolutely delighted. You look a bit pale, but nothing like...
(kleiner_13) My God, Barney, they'll be scouring the city! Are you sure it's worth the risk?

Barney:
(barney_14) Just get him in his suit and I can get him off to Eli's.

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_15) Eli's? But Dr. Mossman has been waiting for him.

Barney:
(barney_16) Oh, and how's that supposed to work, exactly?.

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_17) I'll have to call her right away. I’m sure she’ll think of something. I must say it’s unfortunate they couldn’t find the way to deliver you directly to Kraken base. It’s extremely secure.

Barney:
(barney_18) Eli's place is a hell of a lot closer. But I'm not taking Gordon out in his civvies.

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_19) Excellent point. Yes, the sooner you're suited up, the better. Let's brush the dust off the old outfit, shall we?



Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_20) I expect you'll be pleased to see this after your hazardous journey.
(kleiner_21) I can't vouch for the carbonation, but still, there's a choice of diet or regular.

Barney:
(barney_22) Knock it off, Doc.

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_23) I just thought Gordon might be a bit parched

Barney:
(barney_24) You're an odd duck.

Barney:
(barney_25) Here we go - Yaaah! Hey get that thing away from me!

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_26) Lamarr! There you are!

Barney:
(barney_27) I thought you got rid of that pest!

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_28) Certainly not! Never fear, Gordon, she's de-beaked and completely harmless. the worst she might do is attempt to couple with your head. Fruitlessly.

Barney:
(barney_29) I don't know how you can stand to keep that thing around. After what it did to your partners

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_30) Lamarr never hurt a fly. She was raised in captivity.

Barney:
(barney_31) hoooo ah wah

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_32) Here, my pet. Hop up, up. No, not up there!

Barney:
(barney_33) Damn it! Get it off me!

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_34) No, no, those are quite fragile! Be careful, Lamarr! Dear me.
(kleiner_35) Oh fie! It’ll be another week before I can coax her out of there.

Barney:
(barney_36) Maybe I can convince her to stay longer.



Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_37) Well, Gordon, go ahead. Slip into your suit now.

(kleiner_38) Gordon, if you please. I’m eager to see if your old suit still fits.
(kleiner_39) Gordon, the longer you delay, the greater the danger to us all. You understand better than anyone the importance of my work. Please get into your suit now.
(kleiner_40) Please, Gordon, put on your suit.

Barney:
(barney_41) It's time to suit up, Gordon.
(barney_42) Get your suit on, Gordon.   
(barney_43) I'm with Dr. Kleiner on this one, Gordon. We don't have time to fool around. Get your suit on.

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_44) Well, Gordon, I see you slipped into your HEV Suit. I made a few adjustments, but still in all, it should be the suit you remember. Let's familiarize you with the basic functions, and we can be on our way.



Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_45) Now. Over here you'll see a collection of charging mechanisms. We have enabled the HEV Suit to draw power from a variety of common Combine charging systems, using a standard UBC interface. This will allow you to avail yourself of the same devices utilized by the Metropolice and Combine military.

Barney:
(barney_46) So always look for the Combine label.

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_47) At any rate, power up your suit, and we'll move on to health practices.



Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_48) Any one of these will power up your suit, Gordon. Just step in close and use the device.
(kleiner_49) Go ahead and charge your suit, Gordon.
(kleiner_50) Very good.



Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_51) Now, the same interfaces often useful in treating injuries, if you come across a Combine automedic like this one. You seem to be slightly fatigued. Why don't you god ahead and administer some healing agents as well.
(kleiner_52) Go ahead, Gordon. Try out the automedic.
(kleiner_53) That ought to make you feel much better.



Barney:
(barney_54) Okay, gang. Time's a-wasting. I'm gonna need to send word out to Eli, and smooth the way for Gordon to get out of town.

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_55) I told you, Barney. I intend to solicit Dr. Mossman's advice. I doubt you'll approve of sending him into the wilderness as much as I agree he would be safer outside the city.

Barney:
(barney_56) Look, Doc, I don't tell you how to conduct your experiments, so don't you tell me how to run my operation.

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_57) Ordinarily, I would agree, but Gordon is a special case. We can't just send him into the wilderness with a sharpened stick and our best wishes. He needs to go somewhere his education can be put to good use. Now let's proceed, shall we? This way, Gordon.



Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_01) This should only take a moment.

Barney:
(barney_02) Mossman's just gonna tell you what I've been saying, get him to Eli's place and Eli can take it from there.

Dr. Mossman:
(mossman_03) Kleiner, is that you?

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_04) Yes! Good morning Elena!

Dr. Mossman:
(mossman_05) Did you call to chat, or there's some point to this? I'm running a critical sequence right now.

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_06) Well I think you'll agree this is critical as well. I'm standing here with my old protégé Gordon Freeman!

Dr. Mossman:
(mossman_07) Are you kidding me? Freeman? What's he doing there?

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_08) Well, It's a bit of a mystery actually.

Dr. Mossman:
(mossman_09) You're telling me he's in City 17? That's the worst place he could be.

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_10) It was a surprise to me as well, I assure you.

Barney:
(barney_11) Tell her I'll smuggle him out to Eli's place!

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_12) Uh, we were wondering if Eli's colony might not be the best place for him right now, as my man here points out, it has the advantage of being much more accessible than Kraken.

Barney:
(barney_13) Your man?!

Dr. Mossman:
(mossman_14) Accessible? You mean vulnerable? They'll be crawling all over those rocks if the combine gets wind of him. No, we need to get him down here where it's safe and I can put him to work. Eli's facilities are too primitive to make use of him. They're more suited to mechanics then research scientists. No, just port him over. I'll clear the receiver for the transmission.

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_15) P-port? As in, teleport?

Dr. Mossman:
(mossman_16) Yes, is something wrong? I've run seven sequences without single failure.The initial protocol you developed and then another I devised with the new specs. Ehm, don't tell me of all people you aren't functional yet.

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_17) Certainly not, I mean, I certainly am.

Barney:
(barney_18) What?!

Dr. Mossman:
(mossman_19) Since you decline to reconsider your treatment of the boring old vector bundles, I've been operating under the assumption, that you're far ahead of me.

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_20) No, err everything here is in complete order,I I'd like to see your new protocol did you make use of my suggestions regarding Calabi-Yau space?

Dr. Mossman:
(mossman_21) Eghm, another time, Kleiner.

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_22) Certainly. Barney, the rotor coils will need your attention, as before.

Barney:
(barney_23) You're not serious!

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_24) Gordon, you heard doctor Mossman, they can make immediate use of your expertise at Kraken base and this is the swiftest way of getting you there.

Barney:
(barney_25) But doc, the last time you tried this…

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_26) I've made major strides since then Barney, major strides.

Dr. Mossman:
(mossman_27) Is there a problem?

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_28) No! No problem.

Barney:
(barney_29) I'm telling you we should be heading for Eli's.

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_30) His teleport is still in pieces, you've got no way to get there except on foot.

Barney:
(barney_31) Sometimes the old ways are the best.

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_32) Well Gordon, since it appears Barney would rather call you a taxi cab than trust us in our area of expertise.

Barney:
(barney_33) Alright alright doc, but I’ve gotta tell ya, I’ve got a baad feeling about this.

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_34) Gordon, if you'll be so good as to climb up and manipulate the crystal insertion device, I'm not sure if you've had much opportunity to take part in a real scientific enterprise in the last decade, so this ought to be rather nostalgic for you.



Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_36) Go ahead Gordon, whenever you’re ready.

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_37) Oh do be careful.

Barney:
(barney_37) Careful with that thing.

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_38) Gently, gently.

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_39) Excellent!



Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_35) There you are, fairly simple. One needn't be a licensed crane operator to manage it.

Barney:
(barney_40) We're not out of the woods yet.

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_41) Now if you'll climb down into the chamber we can begin in earnest.

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_42) We can't continue until you're in the teleport chamber Gordon.
(kleiner_43) Once you're safely ensconced in the transmitter we can begin.

Barney:
(barney_44) I don't blame you for hesitating but if we're gonna do this thing then let's just get through it.
(barney_45) Gordon get a move on.

Dr. Mossman:
(mossman_46) Ready any time, doctor.
(mossman_47) I'm still waiting, Kleiner.
(mossman_48) Don't hurry on my behalf.

+use

Barney:
(barney_use_01) You should be listening to Kleiner.
(barney_use_02) Get serious, Gordon.
(barney_use_03) This is for real, Gordon. We got to get you outta here.

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_use_01) It's good to see you too, Gordon.
(kleiner_use_02) We've urgent matters to attend to.
(kleiner_use_03) I wish I had time to give you a tour of the lab.



Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_49) Excellent, all set barney?

Barney:
(barney_50) Yeah except for this gnawing certainty of doom.

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_51) Now, now, there's nothing to be nervous about. Let's see, the massless field flux should self limit and I’ve clamped the metafold parameters to CY Base and LG Orbifold, Hilbert inclusive. Barney, there's a little dial with a nameplate under it that says “Yukawa”. Could you please read me that number?

Barney:
(barney_52) Uh, 9973793,37 - are you writing this down?

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_53) That's not necessary, just checking for potential module interferences in the interstices. Conditions could hardly be more ideal.

Barney:
(barney_54) That's what you said last time, to that poor cat.

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_55) Let's not dwell on our mishaps, shall we? Initializing in three, two, one.
(kleiner_56) Ah, warming up nicely.

Barney:
(barney_57) I didn't tell Gordon about the cat. Maybe I should have…

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_58) Stage two. Barney, please throw the switch.

Barney:
(barney_59) I can't bare to look...
(barney_60) I'll be damned!

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_61) You see? Nothing to be afraid of. We're ready to project you doctor freeman, have a safe and best of luck in your future endeavors.

Barney:
(barney_62) I had to turn the cat right side out again Gordon, to make sure it was a cat.

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_63) Final sequence. I’ve got this one…

Barney:
(barney_64) It's all you doc.

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_65) …Now!

Barney:
(barney_66) What the hell?

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_67) Lamarr! No!

Barney:
(barney_68) That damn thing! Look out! No!

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_69) Noooo!



Dr. Mossman:
(mossman_01) Well, well, I confess, I'm a bit surprised that actually worked. I guess Kleiner is farther along than I thought.
(mossman_02) Welcome to Kraken base doctor Freeman, our home beneath the sea. It's an honor and a pleasure to finally meet you. I've heard so much about your part in the Black Mesa incident.
(mossman_03) I don't suppose Doctor Kleiner has told you a thing about me. I'm Elena Mossman, Kraken’s director, although we don't use formal titles down here. I'm just another researcher, doing my part for the Resistance.
(mossman_04) Now, let me get you out of there.
(mossman_05) Wait a minute, what the hell?



Barney:
(barney_06) He's back!

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_07) Oh fie, and it was going so well! I'll see if I can hold him.

Barney:
(barney_08) I'm getting him outta there!

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_09) You can't just wade into the field, it'll peel you apart!

Dr. Mossman:
(mossman_10) I've just lost Freeman! What the hell is going on?!

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_11) I wish I knew, I’m encountering unexpected interference.

Dr. Mossman:
(mossman_12) Well get him back here! Now!

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_13) I'm trying.

Barney:
(barney_14) Don't worry Gordon. We're…



Dr. Breen:
(br_tele_02) What's the meaning of this?
(br_tele_03) Who are you?
(br_tele_05) How did you get in here?



Barney:
(barney_18) I see him! Cut the Juice! Gordon stand back I’ll try to break open this window.

Dr. Mossman:
(mossman_19) What's going on in there? You pouring smoke into my lab!

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_20) Nothing, Elena. Just a minor discrepancy.



Dr. Breen:
(br_significant) This is a significant development. As soon hear from my contact, we can make our move. The only potential drawback is that man, the one I saw!
(br_thereheis) There he is again!



Dr. Mossman:
(mossman_23) That's it, Kleiner! I've got to protect my work!

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_24) Yes, yes. Very good, Doctor.
(kleiner_25) Gordon, can you see us? Things ought to have stabilized sufficiently.

Barney:
(barney_26) See if you can climb out through there. And hurry, we sort of blew our cover.

Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_27) One moment, is Lamarr in there with you?

Barney:
(barney_28) For the last time forget about that thing!
Dr. Kleiner:
(kleiner_29) She'shelpless without me! Lamarr? Hedy?

Barney:
(barney_30) Holy crap! Doctor Kleiner!
(barney_31) Ah doc! You poor sap!
(barney_32) Well We're not gonna do anyone any good hanging around here. Let's get out before the roof caves in! Follow me, Looks like we're going the long way after all.
(barney_33) Come on, Gordon, no kidding! Follow me!
(barney_34) Gordon! Come on!
(barney_35) Now!
(barney_36) Let's go!

---

Odell:
(Odell_01) I usually get a warmer reception than this.
(Odell_02) Open up, it's Odell.
(Odell_03) They're not going to make it easy on us are they.
(Odell_04) Well, stand back.
(Odell_05) Easy does it.
(Odell_06) There we go.
(Odell_07) I'll go first, they know me.
(Odell_08) Hello?
(Odell_09) Hello...holy, oh Jesus, don't tell me, oh God.
(Odell_09a) Ha - uh, let's not go that way.



(Odell_10) Captain, Johanson, you in there?
(Odell_11) I don't know whether I'm releaved or, what's this?
(Odell_11a) Lets give it a listen.
(Odell_break_01) What the hell? That might have been important.

Kraken guy:
(kraken_radio) Hyberborea, come in, please! This is Kraken Base, do you read? Our situation is critical down here! We thought you were sending someone! I repeat: this is Kraken Base calling Hyberborea! Is there anybody up there? We are in serious trouble!

Odell:
(Odell_12) Poor bastards, what the hell were they carrying?
(Odell_13) We better get to the sub and get the hell out of here.



(Odell_14) Well I see why they were locking doors behind them.
(Odell_15) I don't have to tell you to keep it quiet in here.
(Odell_16) What the hell was that?
(Odell_17) Hey, here's a thought. I've got a cigarette lighter. You've got a gun. Maybe you should go first.

Unused

Odell:
(Odell_18) Appreciate it.



(Odell_comeon_01) Hurry up, Gordon.
(Odell_comeon_02) I'd appreciate it if you'd stay close.
(Odell_comeon_03) Get over here.
(Odell_comeon_04) Come on, Gordon.



(Odell_lookit_01) You better look at this.
(Odell_lookit_02) Get a look at this.
(Odell_lookit_03) See that?



(Odell_lost_01) Where'd you get to?
(Odell_lost_02) Gordon, you coming?



(Odell_see_01) Oh, there you are.
(Odell_see_02) Wondered where you got to.



(Odell_shock_01) Oh Jesus!
(Odell_shock_01a) Oh Jesus!
(Odell_shock_02) Holy shit!
(Odell_shock_02a) Holy shit!
(Odell_shock_03) Holy crap!
(Odell_shock_03a) Holy crap!
(Odell_shock_04) Oh my God!
(Odell_shock_04a) Oh my God!
(Odell_shock_05) God damn it!
(Odell_shock_05a) Goddamn!
(Odell_shock_06) What the hell?
(Odell_shock_06a) What the hell?
