Trivia

• If you take too long to escape the test chamber, GLaDOS will fill the room with neurotoxin.
• If you fall for GLaDOS's attempt to trick you back into testing, she traps you and fills the fake Test Chamber 22 with neurotoxin.
• Halfway through Chamber 22, there's an unknown chamber with a Turret inside it.

Transcript

GLaDOS: I've got a surprise for you after this next test.
GLaDOS: Not a fake, tragic surprise like last time... ... a REAL surprise with tragic consequences.
GLaDOS: And real confetti this time.
GLaDOS: The good stuff - our last bag.
GLaDOS: Part of me's going to miss it, but at the end of the day, it was JUST taking up space.
[LIGHTS TURN OFF]
GLaDOS: What's going on? Who turned off the lights?
Wheatley: Hey, buddy!
Wheatley: I'm speakin' in an accent that is beyond her range of hearin'. I know I'm early, but we have---
GLaDOS: Look, metal ball - I CAN hear you.
Wheatley: Run - I don't need to do the voice - RUN...
Wheatley: RUN!!!
Wheatley: Come on, come on!
Wheatley: RUN! Come on! I'm closin' the doors!
Wheatley: OK, quick recap: we are escaping! That's what's happening now: we're escaping. So you're doing great. Just keep running!
Wheatley: Err, quick word about the future plans that I've got in store.
Wheatley: We're gonna shut down her turret production line, alright, turn off her neurotoxin, and then confront her.
Wheatley: Again though - for the moment - RUN!
Wheatley: This way, this way.
GLaDOS: The irony is you're almost at the last test.
GLaDOS: Here it is. Why don't you just do it? Trust me, it's the easiest way out than whatever asinine plan your friend came up with.
Wheatley: Whaaa? How stupid does she think we are?
Wheatley: Oof.
Wheatley: This way, this way.
Wheatley: Come on, come on!
Wheatley: WAARGH!
Wheatley: What's going on in there?!
Wheatley: Can you--- can you get out?!
Wheatley: We HAVE to get you out of there!
Turret: (Who are you?!)
Wheatley: Try to make your way back out here!
Turret: (Malfunctioning!)
Turret: (Shutting down.)
Wheatley: I heard gunfire! A bit late for this, but look out for gunfire! Probably doesn't help at this point, but I have at least tried.
Turret: (Awww!)
Turret: (Why?)
Turret: (WHEE! OW, OW, OW, OW, OW!)
Turret: (I don't blame you.)
Wheatley: You're OK! Great, come on!
Wheatley: This way, this way.
Wheatley: Turrets!
Wheatley: Go, go, go, go.
Wheatley: There's the exit! We're almost out of here.
[TESTCHAMBER MOVEMENT]
Wheatley: She's bringing the whole place down. HURRY! HURRY! This way.
Wheatley: GET IN THE LIFT! GET IN THE LIFT!
Wheatley: We made it, made it, made it, made it.
Wheatley: I'll meet you on the other side!
