Falldown Mall
(After finding a record by The Witch House in the vinyl record store)
- Meredith: That album art - you've found it!
- Meredith: Wait. Something's not right.
- Meredith: "Timeless and Strange"? That's not the name of the album...
- Meredith: And this cover art is slightly different too...
- Meredith: The track listing... I don't know these songs.
- Meredith: It's some alternate universe version. The one I wanted isn't here.
- Meredith: I knew I shouldn't have expected anything good to happen to me.
- Meredith: Typical...
(Meredith and the player fall as the floor collapses, landing in a Mer-Line Station)
- Meredith: Urgh, what happened... Cass, are you OK? The record - I dropped it. Can you see it?
(When Meredith and the player meets Nowhere Monarch)
- Meredith: Wh-what is that?! Why does it look so... wrong?!
- Meredith: It hurts my head just looking at it... Cass, it's an Archangel, isn't it...?
(Mid-battle against Nowhere Monarch)
- Meredith: It'd be so easy...
- Meredith: It'd be so easy to give up and just die...
- Meredith: But that's not me! I'm sick of letting myself down![1]
(When Nowhere Monarch is defeated)
- Meredith: We did it... We're alive... We fused?
(After defeating Nowhere Monarch)
- Meredith: Uh...
- Meredith: I realise that this was a really trivial thing to come all this way for.
- Meredith: And a really stupid thing to nearly die over.
- Meredith: You didn't have to do this. Thanks mate.
- Meredith: I think... I've had enough of abandoned malls and mortal peril for today.
- Meredith: C'mon, let's go back to town and check this record out.[1]
Relationship Level Scenes
This section is incomplete. Feel free to add the missing information by editing it.
Romance
- Meredith: You haven’t said anything for a while, <player>. Is something bothering you?
(Choice between "I want us to be together." and "Nothing in particular!")
- If chosen "I want us to be together.":
- Meredith: I…
- Meredith: I mean, of course I like you.
- Meredith: I don’t know why you like me, but I like you.
- Meredith: But we’re working towards leaving this world…
- Meredith: If we succeed, we might not stay together. Are you… OK with that?
- (Choice between "I am." and "I think so.")
- Meredith: Screw it. Why not?
- If the player goes by he/him pronouns:
- Meredith: Me, with a serious boyfriend. Sounds weird. Feels right.
- If the player goes by she/her pronouns:
- Meredith: Me, with a serious girlfriend. Sounds weird. Feels right.
- If the player goes by they/them pronouns:
- Meredith: Me, with a serious partner. Sounds weird. Feels right.
- Meredith: It’s always been easier for me to tell myself that I need to be happier with myself before I get into a relationship with someone, but I think the truth is…
- Meredith: I might NEVER be truly confident in who I am. I’m not ever gonna be my perfect self.
- Meredith: But you make me happy, and I'm more whole when I’m with you than I am without.
- Meredith: Th-that’s enough sappiness from me. Oh, and I can’t do cute-talk.
- Meredith: If you’re expecting me to ever call you “honey” or “dear”, you’ve got another thing coming, mate.
- If chosen "Nothing in particular!":
- Meredith: Uh, OK.

Partner Interactions in Gramophone Café
Meredith and Kayleigh
- Meredith: ...I really don’t get it.
- Meredith: What is the “inter net”? Half the people in Harbourtown are crying over how much they miss it!
- Kayleigh: Y’know, the internet? Like on computers, or phones?
- Meredith: On phones? Do you speak to people over it?
- Kayleigh: …What was the current year in your world before you came here, Meredith?
- Meredith: 1989, why do you ask?
- Kayleigh: Oh! OK. I can see we’re maybe a little out of sync with each other.
Meredith and Eugene
- Meredith: ...I did have some engineering work to do back at the shop, but I might just swerve it for now.
- Eugene: Yeah! You gotta take a break sometimes, buddy!
- Eugene: …. Wait, what did you say just now?
- Meredith: Uhh, I said I had some engineering work to do?
- Eugene: What did you say after that…?
- Meredith: ...I was gonna swerve it?
- Eugene: Is that a phrase? To “swerve” something?
- Meredith: Oh, I mean, yeah. Like if you’re going to skip out on doing something or going somewhere, that’s you “swerving” it.
- Eugene: OK, gotcha. I shall embrace your unusual slang with an open mind.
- Meredith: I think I’m gonna swerve this whole conversation.
Meredith and Felix
- Meredith: ...My music tastes?
- Felix: Yeah! What did you used to listen to back in your world?
- Meredith: That’s a broad question. I like bands where all the members hate each other.
- Felix: That’s very specific.
- Meredith: I’m a very specific person.
Meredith and Viola
- Viola: I must confess, dear Meredith, the way in which you fashion yourself is unlike any I have seen before – in my country, and in this one.
- Meredith: I’m not sure if that’s a compliment or not.
- Viola: I mean no insult. You seem unconcerned with aligning yourself with the appearance of those around you. It implies a deeper confidence in oneself.
- Viola: I find you rather admirable in that regard, dear Meredith!
- Meredith: Uh, thanks mate.
Meredith and Barkley
- Barkley: Arf!
- Meredith: You like belly rubs, don’t you?
Here Comes The Sun
(After meeting The Mer-Line)
- Meredith: That didn’t go how I expected.
