<code>{{Spoiler|
[ARRIVAL] <br>
GLaDOS: Oh, my facility. <br>
GLaDOS: This place is SELF-DESTRUCTING, you idiot! <br>
Wheatley: Was. Was self-destructing - already fixed. <br>
[BANG] <br>
Wheatley: Programmed in one last tremor, for old time's sake. <br>
Wheatley: Two. One or two more tremors in there, just for fun. <br>
Announcer: WARNING: core overheating. Nuclear meltdown imminent. <br>
Wheatley: I let him keep his job. I'm not a monster. Ignore what he said though, just keep on testing. <br>
Wheatley: Alright - still though - let's keep moving. Sorry about the [[Chamberlock|lift]]. It's out of service 'cause it melted. <br>
Wheatley: Might as well, you know, give you the tour. <br>
Wheatley: To your left, you'll see some lights. Of some kind. Don't know what they do... ...but very sciencey anyways. <br>
Wheatley: And to your right, there's something huge hurtling towards--- OH GOD! RUN! YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THERE! <br>
[BANG!] <br>
Wheatley: Are you alright back there? Here, I'll turn the [[Excursion Funnel|beam]] off. <br>
Wheatley: WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT - aw - no, no, no, that's not helpful! That--- URRRGH! I didn't know that that wouldn't help! <br>
GLaDOS: After seeing what he's done to my facility - after we take over again - is it alright if I kill him? <br>
