145->Your specimen has been processed, and we are now ready to begin the test proper. Before we start, however, keep in mind that although fun, and learning, are the primary goals of all Enrichment Center activities, serious injuries may occur. For your own safety, and the safety of others, please refrain from t-- *static* ''Por favor bordón de fallar Muchos gracias de fallar gracias'' *static* stand back. The portal will open in three. Two. One.

147
148->Do not touch the operational end of the Device. Do not look at the operational end of the Device. Do not submerge the Device in liquid, even partially. Most importantly, under no circumstances should you- *static*.

150
151->Please be advised that a noticeable taste of blood is not part of any test protocol, but is an unintended side effect of the Aperture Science Material Emancipation Grill, which may, in semi-rare cases, emancipate dental fillings, crowns, tooth enamel, and teeth.
152-->-- '''[=GLaDOS=]'''
153
154->As part of a required test protocol, our previous statement suggesting that we would not monitor this chamber was an outright fabrication. Good job! As part of a required test protocol, we will stop enhancing the truth in three. Two. *static*.

171
172->Spectacular. You appear to understand how a portal affects forward momentum, or to be more precise, how it does not. Momentum, a function of mass and velocity, is conserved between portals. In layman's terms, speedy thing goes in, speedy thing comes out.
173-->-- '''[=GLaDOS=]'''
174
175->The Enrichment Center promises to always provide a safe testing environment. In dangerous testing environments, the Enrichment Center promises to always provide useful advice. For instance, the floor here will kill you. Try to avoid it.

203-->-- '''[=GLaDOS=]'''
204
205->[[spoiler:Although the euthanizing process is remarkably painful, eight out of ten Aperture Science engineers believe that the Companion Cube is most likely incapable of feeling much pain.]]

214-->-- '''[=GLaDOS=]'''
215
216->Didn't we have some fun, though? Remember when the platform was sliding into the fire pit and I said "Goodbye!" and you were like "[[AC:No way!]]" and then I was all, "We pretended we were going to murder you!" That was great.''
217-->-- '''[=GLaDOS=]'''
218
219->I'm not kidding now. Turn back or I ''will'' kill you. [...] I'm going to kill you. And all the cake is gone.

238->[Speaking in lower, sexier voice]
239->Good news. I figured out what that thing you just incinerated did. It was a morality core they installed after I flooded the Enrichment Center with a deadly neurotoxin to make me stop flooding the Enrichment Center with a deadly neurotoxin. So get comfortable, while I warm up the neurotoxin emitters.
240-->-- '''[=GLaDOS=]'''

246-->-- '''Cake Core''' (It's probably a good thing that [[spoiler:TheCakeIsALie]])
247
248->Speaking of curiosity, you're curious about what happens after you die, right? Guess what. ''I know''. You're going to find out first-hand before I finish explaining it, though, so I won't bother. Here's a hint: You're gonna wanna pack as much living as you can into the next couple of minutes.
249-->-- '''[=GLaDOS=]'''

255-->-- '''[=GLaDOS=]'''

261-->-- '''[=GLaDOS=]'''
262
263->When I said 'deadly' neurotoxin, the deadly was in ''massive'' [[SarcasmMode sarcasm quotes]]. I could take a ''bath'' in this stuff, put it on cereal, rub it right into my eyes; honestly, its not deadly at all. [[AC:To me]]. You on the other hand, are going to find its deadliness... a lot less funny.
264-->-- '''[=GLaDOS=]'''
265
266->Whose gonna make the cake when I'm gone? ''You''?
267-->-- '''[=GLaDOS=]'''
268
269->That's it. I'm done reasoning with you. Starting now, there's going to be a lot less conversation and a lot. More. Killing.
270-->-- '''[=GLaDOS=]'''
271
272->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 you murdered him. 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 right here in your personnel 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.
273-->-- '''[=GLaDOS=]'''
274

279->You've been wrong about every single thing you've ever done. Including this thing. You're not smart. You're not a scientist. You're not a doctor. You're not even a full-time employee. Where did your life go so wrong?
280-->-- '''[=GLaDOS=]'''
281
282->Unless you have a plan for building some supercomputer parts in a big hurry, this place isn't going to be safe much longer. Good job on that, by the way. *Beep*''Sarcasm Sphere self-test complete''*Beep*
283-->-- '''[=GLaDOS=]'''
284
285->Stop squirming and die like an adult or I'm going to delete your backup. STOP! Okay enough, I deleted it. No matter what happens now you're ''dead''. You're still shuffling around a little but believe me ''you're [[AC:dead]]''. The part of you that could have survived indefinitely is gone. I just struck you from the [[AC:permanent record]].
286-->-- '''[=GLaDOS=]'''
