	I never had much use for a name. Names are for people who want to be remembered. Me? [Chuckle] My existence is like gravity or time. A concept that you fear, but you cannot escape. I simply am.
	The Troubadour ain’t got nothin’ on me.
	[Laughter] I’m exactly who you think I am.
	By the time I’m through with them, the cops won’t be able to identify the body.
	Fact of the matter is: I'd do this for free. The Patron's gift is just a bonus.
	The elders of New Amsterdam are soft, clinging to archaic titles like they grant them real power.
	Can’t wait to see how Manhattan’s changed in one generation.
	Let’s get this show on the road, I’m feelin’ peckish.
	We all got weaknesses, but mercy ain’t one of mine.
	They gonna cry, they gonna beg, they gonna scream.

	I don't need the Patron's help.
	I had my own plans tonight.
	Do I look like I need to be the Patron's errand boy?
	Wish I could help, but I have an old friend I need to say hello to.
	I came to New York for a reason, and it wasn't to help the Patrons.
	I don't work for anybody but myself.
	Today, I plan to sit back and just watch the carnage unfold.
	They're gonna tear each other apart for whatever scraps the Patrons give 'em... And it's gonna be beautiful to watch.
	I don't need the Patrons, the Patrons need me.
	Killin's no fun if someone's telling you to do it. You gotta just feel it in the moment, like jazz.

		Drifter: You afraid of things getting messy, detective? Abrams: Drifter: Then let's get to work.
		Abrams: Drifter: You're just gonna have to wait and find out now, ain't ya?
Bebop	Yes	Bebop: You look a little rough around the edges, mate. Drifter: Been traveling a long way to get here. Haven't had time to rest up and... get a proper meal. Bebop: In that case, you should come over to the scrapyard after the ritual! I'm sure Ms. Shelly could help out with dinner. Drifter: Thanks for giving me something to look forward to, Bebop. Bebop: My pleasure!
		Bebop: I'll pull 'em in close to you, Drifter! Drifter: Well, aren't you a thoughtful little scrap golem?
		Bebop: How long are you planning on being in New York? Drifter: Hm. Counting the days until I'm gone? Bebop: Basically.
Calico	No	Drifter: I see the Baxter Society is sending their B-team to help me. Calico: Drifter: How could I forget? You're a scary killer now. Calico: Drifter: Stop pretendin' like you're gonna do a damn thing about my tone. Calico:
		Calico: Drifter: Which I'd say is a testament to how satisfying it is.
		Calico: Drifter: It's a remarkably ugly cat, I can't help it.
Dynamo	No	Drifter: So you got yourself a wedding ring, Professor? Dynamo: Drifter: What's her name? Dynamo: Drifter: Pretty name, you love her? Dynamo: Drifter: No, Professor. Fail today, and she'll die for you.
		Dynamo: Drifter: Don't worry about me not capitalizing, Professor. There's few things I like more than helpless victims.
		Dynamo: Drifter: Mighty kind of you, offering up your students like that. Heh, I appreciate it. Dynamo: Drifter: Significantly less entertaining, but still appreciated.
Grey Talon	Yes	Grey Talon: Did you do it? Drifter: Wesley... If I was gonna murder your grandkids, we both know I would've tied you down and made you watch. Grey Talon: I'm going to kill you. Drifter: Oh, you're certainly gonna try, but it ain't gonna be today. You need me.
		Drifter: The Patrons have a curious sense of humor now, don't they? Grey Talon: ... Drifter: The silent treatment? Really? Don't tell me you're still raw about Oklahoma. Grey Talon: ... Drifter: (Sigh) how disappointin'.
		Drifter: What are the boys and girls of the Baxter Society gonna say about us workin' together? Grey Talon: I wouldn't know. I'm retired. Drifter: You sure look like it.
Haze	Yes	Drifter: OSIC finally coming for me? Haze: No, we're using you. If we were coming for you, you'd already be dead.
		Drifter: Think you can keep up, Haze? Haze: I'm not getting in some schoolyard challenge with you. Drifter: All business, heheh... that's fine. I can appreciate directness. I am going to kill more than you, though. Haze: Sure you are.
		Drifter: Smile, Haze. You're gonna like killing people with me. Haze: Being good at something and liking something are two different things. Drifter: Life's more fun when you accept who you are, Haze. Haze: Thanks for the advice. Drifter: It's true.
Holliday	Yes	Drifter: You looking for the Troubadour, right? Holliday: That's right. You got a tip for me? Drifter: Yeah, you don't wanna find him. Holliday: I'm getting real tired of people telling me that. Drifter: Macomb matters a lot to you, but to him it was just a fun time that'll get lost in the ocean of memory... but if you find him, if he knows he got his hooks in you? You gonna be his hobby. Holliday: What's that mean? Drifter: Oh, I wouldn't want to spoil the surprise, but trust me, sheriff. For your sake, let it go.
		Drifter: Tie them down, Holliday, and leave the rest to me. Holliday: I don't take orders from you. Drifter: You want them dead? Tie them down for me.
		Drifter: You spell Holliday with one "L" or two? Holliday: Two. Why? Drifter: Hmph. Particular spelling. Holliday: What's your point? Drifter: I know who's gun that is. You gon' be able to make him proud? Holliday: We're about to find out.
Infernus	Yes	Drifter: You got a gleam in your eye, Infernus. How long has it been since you really cut loose? Infernus: Long time. Drifter: You gon' enjoy yourself today.
		Infernus: Level with me: are you the Troubadour? Drifter: While I do have a song in my heart, I'm not. Infernus: Is he a friend of yours? Drifter: You friends with every bartender in Manhattan? Infernus: A lot of 'em. Drifter: No. Never met the man, just know him by reputation.
		Infernus: You scared of fire? Drifter: It's... not my favorite. Infernus: So yes. Drifter: Let's just say I'm... glad you're on my side.
Ivy	Yes	Drifter: Well, looky here. The savior of Spanish Harlem herself. Ivy: I don't call myself that. Drifter: Legends don't get to choose what they're called. Ivy: I'm not a legend. Drifter: Yes, you are. You know it, and you're afraid of it. Don't be.
		Ivy: Nice to meet you. I'm Ivy. Drifter: I don't care what your name is, you'll be dead long before you're relevant in my world. Ivy: ... Nice to meet you too.
		Drifter: Look at us, the Sower and the Reaper. Ivy: I think you may be confusing me with Mina? I don't know how to sew. Drifter: "Sow"... like farmin'? Ivy: I've never been to a farm. Drifter: It's plantin' seeds. Ivy: Sure, but I'm not a farmer, so why would you say that? Drifter: You save lives, and I take 'em. Ivy: I think your analogies need some work.
Kelvin	Yes	Drifter: What's on your mind, Kelvin? Kelvin: Just wondering if getting the answers I seek is worth helping you in the process. Drifter: Now that is the question, ain't it?
		Drifter: You're looking a little upset, Kelvin. Kelvin: I don't want to work with someone like you. Drifter: Careful, now. You keep talking like that and you might hurt my feelings. And no one wants that.
		Kelvin: I understand that violence is going to happen in the ritual, but... it's not necessary for you to make them suffer. Drifter: I know it's not necessary, I just like to go above and beyond expectations.
Lady Geist	Yes	Drifter: Been a while, friend. Lady Geist: I've never met you before in my life. Drifter: I was talking to your arm. Lady Geist: You know Oathkeeper? Drifter: Oh, we go back a long ways.
		Lady Geist: Oathkeeper asked me to give you a message. Drifter: Can't wait to hear it. Lady Geist: "See you soon." Drifter: [Laughter] Oh, today is gonna be fun.
		Drifter: That ward's lookin' like it ain't lastin' much longer, Geist. Lady Geist: I appreciate your concern. Drifter: You gotta be scared as hell. Lady Geist: Be quiet. Drifter: You should be.
Lash	Yes	Lash: So, what are you supposed to be, some kind of murder hobo? Drifter: They call me the Drifter. Lash: Don't know if that has a better mouthfeel, but whatever Mobo, it's your life.
		Drifter: Are you that arrogant stevedore everyone's been talking about? Lash: Arrogance is a concept made up by people who don't want to recognize greatness. Drifter: Yeah, it's you.
		Drifter: Heard you like hurting people, Lash. Lash: I like proving I'm better than people. If they get hurt, that's on them, not me.
Mirage	Yes	Drifter: So how much dirty work do the Djinn have you do? Mirage: Nashala is a woman of nobility and poise. She doesn't ask me to do dirty work. Drifter: I see. So she don't trust you. Mirage: She trusts me, implicitly. Drifter: Of course. Mirage: I don't like your tone, vampire. Drifter: If you don't like it now, wait till you hear the sounds I make when I'm ripping out your gullet. Mirage: You dare threaten an emissary of the Djinn? Drifter: Heh heh heh... ritual's starting, pretty boy. We'll finish this later.
		Mirage: Nashala has warned me about you. Drifter: And Nashala don't know me. Mirage: She knows your deeds. Drifter: If she really did, she woulda told you to play nice.
		Drifter: What happens if I break that fancy bottle of yours? Mirage: I kill you. Drifter: You'll try. Mirage: No. I'll kill you.
Paige	No	Drifter: Paige: Once, there was a girl who was being harassed by a vampire... Drifter: Paige: So... she staked him, the end. Drifter: Paige: What threat? It was just a story, heh!
		Paige: You're not gonna kill me, right? Drifter: Paige: Sure, but- What about... for fun? Drifter: Paige: I'm gonna stop talking.
		Paige: You're a monster, but I will protect you. Drifter: Paige: Kindness in the face of evil?
Paradox	Yes	Drifter: You look annoyed. Paradox: I am annoyed. You don't have anything interesting to steal.
		Drifter: What size jacket do you wear? Paradox: Why? Drifter: Well, it's a nice coat. Paradox: All members of Paradox wear one. Drifter: You got any friends who don't mind goin' missing? Paradox: I can just get you a coat. Drifter: Doesn't work like that.
		Paradox: Don't worry. If they try to run from you, I'll bring them back into position. Drifter: Thank you kindly, miss.
Venator	No	Venator: After the ritual's complete, I'm going to drive a stake in your heart. Drifter: Venator: You've never fought a man like me before.
		Drifter: Venator: Enjoy your last day of wanton slaughter, Drifter. Tomorrow your wretched life will come to an end.
		Drifter: Venator: I'm not interested in your musings, vampire. Drifter: Venator: Equally pointless. Drifter: Venator: The feeling's mutual.
Vindicta	Yes	Drifter: Why limit yourself to the Friends of Humanity when there's plenty of people that deserve to die? Vindicta: You have to start somewhere. Drifter: Now that's some ambition I can appreciate!
		Drifter: What's with the rifle? Don't like working up close? Vindicta: I'm not psychotic enough to have a preference. Drifter: I thought I was gonna like you.
		Drifter: Just to get this out of the way, I'm not precious about murder. If I'm carving someone up and you wanna take the shot, I'm not gonna be offended. Vindicta: How magnanimous of you. Drifter: We're a team, right?
Vyper	Yes	Vyper: Oh, I can't believe I get to murder people with you! Drifter: I don't know if the rest of our team shares your exuberance. Vyper: Yeah, it's 'cause they never did time in OKC. Buddy, you're a legend there! You're like the... you're like the... the boogeyman! Heh, as far as I'm concerned, this is like sitting next to Mozart on the piano bench while he plays Canon in D. Drifter: Pretty sure that was Pachelbel. Vyper: Yeah, him too, point still stands.
Vyper	Yes	Vyper: What'cha doin' after the ritual? Drifter: What, you lookin' to get drinks? Vyper: Y'know, I was lookin' to get as, uh, far away from you as possible while you were still in a good mood... but if you're buying I'm good for, like, a cocktail or two.
Wraith	Yes	Drifter: You like to gamble, right Wraith? Wraith: I know where you're going with this. Here's the problem with gambling on body counts with you: You're a psychotic killing machine, which means if I incentivize you to kill more on top of that, there's a non-zero chance that you don't finish the ritual because you want to pad your numbers. Drifter: You really thought this through? Wraith: I really wanted to make it work. Drifter: Hm, thanks for considering it.
		Wraith: Between the two of us, they don't have a chance in hell at escaping. Drifter: Oh, it's gonna be a massacre.
		Wraith: Glad you're on our side, Drifter. Drifter: You should be, Wraith, otherwise I... Wraith: No need to threaten me, I'm already scared of you. Drifter: Heh, very good.

Hero	Context	Transcription
Apollo	Kill	You should have stuck with human prey, Drifter.
		I'm not afraid of you, Drifter.
		I'm not your victim, Drifter, I'm your executioner.
		He thought he was in control, didn't he?
		He was overconfident.
Bebop	Kill	I took out Drifter!
		I'm not easy prey, Drifter!
		What do I look like, Drifter, a frail organic?
		Lash was tougher.
		That thing was evil!
Billy	Kill	Go whistle your dumb song somewhere else!
		Get outta New York, you swamp rat!
		Yeah, he's reeeal scary.
		Not so fun when they fight back, is it, Drifter?
		Stupid-ass vampire.
Celeste	Kill	I stopped Drifter.
		He would kill us all if he could...
		He was a maniac!
		You're not feedin' off my friends, Drifter.
		Drifter had to die.
The Doorman	Kill	Always a pleasure to see you again, Drifter.
		The Drifter stalks us no more.
		This is New York, not some spooky Mardi Gras.
		I won't be hunted by the likes of you!
		New York is your hunting ground no longer.
	Trapped in ult	Your heart beats faster as you find yourself in new territory. Slowly, but surely, realizing that here you are no predator, merely vermin scuttling down the hall. It wont be long before you find yourself feeling something that’s eluded you for centuries: fear.
	Trapped in ult (short)	[Whistling]
Graves	Kill	Drifter won't be hunting us any time soon.
		That guy gave me the creeps...
		It looks like my mastery of the dead extends to vampires.
		I'm not gonna be one of your victims, Drifter.
		Go whistle someplace else, loser.
Grey Talon	Kill	I've waited for this, Drifter.
		Finally...
		I wasn't expecting to see the Drifter here, but I'm glad he showed up to get what's coming to him!
		I killed the monster.
		I won't let you ruin any more lives, Drifter!
Haze	Kill	Thank God he's dead.
		New York isn't your hunting ground anymore.
		Drifter's been neutralised.
		Looks like the viscount is going to owe the OSIC a favour.
		That should make the office happy.
Holliday	Kill	I'm not letting another serial killer get away!
		Came for a different killer, but I'll settle for you.
		One less maniac to deal with.
		Feeding time's over, Drifter!
		No one stalks my friends!

		You're finished, Drifter!
Kelvin	Kill	You won't prey on us, Drifter.
		Die, monster!
		No more innocents will suffer at your hands!
		A pity I couldn't stop him sooner.
		Drifter got what he deserved.
Lady Geist	Kill	If you're going to be a mass murderer, at least have some decorum.
		He was vile.
		You're not freeing Oathkeeper, Drifter.
		And he thought I'd be easy prey.
		I'm not afraid of you, Drifter.
Mina	Kill	Get that thing away from me!
		That guy creeped me out.
		Never seen a vampire like him before.
		There's only room for one predator of the night.
		Yeah, sure he was a vampire, but he was a shitty vampire, so it's okay.
Mirage	Kill	I will always make time to stop men like you.
		The innocent of New York are safe.
		The Drifter died at my hand.
		No mercy will be given to the likes of you.
		I haven't felt evil like that in some time.
Mo & Krill	Kill	You're a monster, Drifter.
		We won't let you prey on the people of New York.
		The Drifter has been stopped.
		That man had no remorse, no humanity.
		We didn't stop the Drifter, we only slowed him down...
Paige	Kill	Stopped the monster!
		Took down the Drifter!
		I'm not going to be another one of your victims!
		You're not winning, Drifter!
		I won't let you stalk anyone else!
Paradox	Kill	Get away from me, Drifter!
		That man's a monster!
		Despicable Creature!
		He needed to be put down!
		I killed the Drifter!
Rem	Kill	I don't wanna play with Drifter.
		His whistling scares me.
		He didn't have a happy smile.
	Naptime taunt	So that's what insides look like...
Seven	Kill	Mindless savage!
		No one stalks me.
		The old must make way for the new.

		Drifter's dead! You're welcome.
Yamato	Kill	(Die, monster.)
		(I won't be your prey, Drifter.)
