Cooper Howard: How do you know my wife?

Lee Moldaver: My research company was acquired by her division. We were developing this kind of technology that's... difficult to monetize. Cold fusion. Infinite energy. That's what I was on the verge of achieving when Vault-Tec swept in and bought up every company I'd ever worked for.

Cooper Howard: Every one of them? So, what are you, a millionaire communist?

Lee Moldaver: Hypocrisy is like violence in your movies. If you only let the bad guys use it, the bad guys win.

Cooper Howard: Yeah? I, uh, I got a little showbiz secret for you. A good bad guy doesn't see themselves as the bad guy.

Lee Moldaver: America has been locked in a resource war for over a decade. Vault-Tec bought the means to end that war, the same war you fought in, so they could put it on the shelf. All because it didn't fit into their business model. I want your help in getting it back.
