Added DiffLines:
* TeachingThroughAccident: The second part of test chamber 10 has a pit with a tiny ledge over it. Stand on it, and you'll probably fall off, into the pit, a boring place to be. The only way to get out of the pit is to put a portal on the floor, which will take you back to the door of the level. But the cool thing is, the solution to this puzzle involves having a portal on the floor, so they're luring you into solving it.

-->'''[=GLaDOS=]:''' I'd just like to point out that you were given every opportunity to succeed. There was even going to be a party for you. A big party that all your friends were invited to. I invited your best friend the Companion Cube. Of course, he couldn't come because [[spoiler:you murdered him]]. [All All your other friends couldn't come either because you don't have any other friends. Because of how unlikable you are. It says so here in your personal file: Unlikable. Liked by no one. A bitter, unlikable loner whose passing shall not be mourned. "Shall ''not'' be mourned." That's exactly what it says. Very formal. Very official. It also says you were adopted. So that's funny, too.

You're still shuffling around a little but believe me you're ''dead.'' The part of you that could have survived indefinitely is gone. I just struck you from the ''permanent record.'' Your entire life has been a mathematical error. ''A mathematical error I'M ABOUT TO CORRECT.''

* ContraltoOfDanger: When [[spoiler:you destroy her Morality Core]] and [=GLaDOS=] switches from robotic monotone to a lower, emotive (described by the subtitles as ''seductive''), and more obviously female voice... the contrast is actually ''creepier'' than the MachineMonotone that you've been listening to all game.
