* CatchPhrase: "What the hell?"

to:

* CatchPhrase: Henry's "What the hell?"hell?!"
** Henry is infamous for "What the hell?", even though he says it only four times throughout the game, or (for those keeping track at home) only one fewer time than [[SilentHill1 Harry Mason]] describes his daughter to people as "just turned seven last month, short, black hair" And, one presumes, this is only because he ran out of people to ask.
