*[[Media:Cave Johnson fifties_fifth_test_complete09.wav|"Science isn't about WHY. It's about WHY NOT. Why is so much of our science dangerous? Why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you on the butt on the way out, because you are fired."]]
*[[Media:Cave Johnson fifties_fifth_test_complete03.wav|"Not you, test subject, you're doing fine."]]
*[[Media:Cave Johnson fifties_fifth_test_complete08.wav|"Yes, you. Box. Your stuff. Out the front door. Parking lot. Car. Goodbye."]]
*[[Media:Cave Johnson fifties_fifth_test_intro01.wav|"If you're hearing this, it means you're taking a long time on the catwalks between tests. The lab boys say that might be a fear reaction."]]

*[[Media:Cave Johnson fifties_fourth_test_complete02.wav|"Alright, this next test may involve trace amounts of time travel. So, word of advice: If you meet yourself on the testing track, don't make eye contact. Lab boys tell me that'll wipe out time. Entirely. Forward and backward! So do both of yourselves a favor and just let that handsome devil go about his business."]]
*[[Media:Cave Johnson fifties_into_middle_of_test01.wav|"Ha! I like your style. You make up your own rules, just like me."]]
*[[Media:Cave Johnson fifties_into_middle_of_test02.wav|"Bean counters said I couldn't fire a man just for being in a wheelchair. Did it anyway. Ramps are expensive."]]

*[[Media:Cave Johnson fifties_waiting01.wav|"There's a thousand tests performed every day here in our enrichment spheres.

*[[Media:Cave Johnson fifties_waiting08.wav|"Bad news is we're postponing those tests indefinitely. Good news is we've got a much better test for you: Fighting an army of mantis men. Pick up a rifle and follow the yellow line. You'll know when the test starts."]]

*[[Media:Cave Johnson fifties_second_test_intro01.wav|"The lab boys just informed me that I should not have mentioned the control group. They're telling me I oughtta stop making these pre-recorded messages. That gave me an idea: Make more pre-recorded messages. I pay the bills here, I can talk about the control group all damn day."]]
*[[Media:Cave Johnson fifties_second_test_complete03.wav|"Oh, in case you got covered in that repulsion gel, here's some advice the lab boys gave me: DO NOT get covered in the repulsion gel."]]
*[[Media:Cave Johnson fifties_second_test_complete02.wav|"We haven't entirely nailed down what element it is yet, but I'll tell you this: It's a lively one, and it does NOT like the human skeleton."]]
