Awesome / Courier's Mind: Rise of New Vegas

• Many of the moments when Bullet Time goes into effect. Sometimes the Courier's shots miss or otherwise don't kill the target, but when they do...
• The long list of the Courier's one-liners, including Pre-Mortem One-Liners, Bond One-Liners, and general Badass Boasts. Some of these include:
  The Courier: (After learning that some of the people who participated in his murder are Great Khans who have a huge reputation, but still deciding to get his revenge anyway) Hell, they'll never look at letters and parcels in the same way again once I'm done with them.
  
  The Courier: The day you mess with The Courier is the day you sign your fucking death warrant. And not you, not Vegas, and not anyone else is going to change that. Start writing a will, Eddie, because I'm coming to collect my due.
  
  The Courier: I'm the Courier, and I'm here to deliver your death!
  
  The Courier: Who else wants some? Please form an orderly line! You want police brutality? I'll show you police brutality! ... I'm planning to take down Eddie, and this? This isn't even an obstacle, it's a speedbump!
  
  The Courier: He who crosses the law shall pay. He who crosses the law and the Courier shall be shot multiple times, fried by laser, and then castrated by a rusty knife.
  
  The Courier: I'm just a single motherfucker who's itching to tear someone's balls off!
  
  The Courier: (Fighting some Geckos) I eat you guys for breakfast! Literally!
  
  The Courier: Oh there are many things I can do. It just depends on how far you can stretch both your imagination and your wallet.
  
  The Courier: The Mojave is a terrible place to live in. Either that or I seriously pissed off God in some manner when I was a kid or something. I can almost imagine that guy sitting behind a massive control panel, covered with buttons labeled with different ways to kill me. Well, not to tempt fate or anything, but it hasn't worked yet. I got shot and blown up. That's two strikes, Death. And I'm not even counting all the other times I got attacked in between. You've got one more chance and then you're out.
  
  Fiend: You like the sight of your own blood?
  The Courier: No, but I hope you do!
  
  The Courier: I counter your maneuver, sir, with my own. It's called being a badass!
  
  The Courier: You look better with these [bullets] in your face, madam. We're having a giveaway sale at Courier's Lead Jewelry Store. Everything must go today!
  
  The Courier: Yeah, say what you like about me, but one thing I am not is lazy. I just woke up from the hospital bed after nearly getting blown up. Most normal people would take at least the day off, but not me. Hell, most normal people would still be in bed after waking up from two bullets in the head, but again, not me.
  
  The Courier: My squad has done shit you would not believe, so until you earn my respect, I'm going to put my faith in them.
  
  The Courier: If these guys were still alive, I would give them a lecture about picking your targets wisely. If you can't take the heat, stop poking your head in the end of my gun barrel.
  • From the Season 8 Trailer:
  Caesar: You dare to come here and stand before me. What were you thinking?
  The Courier: What were you thinking when you invited me here? Did you want to see what Death looked like in the flesh?
  The Courier: Depending on how this meeting goes, I'm either gonna end up as your superior, or the man who's gonna cut your fucking head off. Let's go find out!
• After Benny tells him We Can Rule Together, The Courier immediately sees through his Blatant Lies and casually pulls out his automatic carbine as Benny walks out. Then proceeds to calmly mow down Benny's henchman while singing Orange Colored Sky, before telling Benny over the intercom that he only let him live, so he can have the fun of continuing their little game, before he kills him.
• The Courier deciding to show up First Recon by beating Driver Nephi (an Ax-Crazy, golf club-wielding Made of Iron Fiend) in melee combat while outnumbered.
  The Courier: What's this? Three on one in hand to hand combat? What's wrong, Nephi? You losing your touch? That's bullshit!
  (The Courier kills a Fiend immediately after he says this)
  The Courier: Never mind, make that two on one. I take it back, get more reinforcements, you need it!
• The Courier giving New Vegas its first taste of his presence by challenging McCaffery ^note  the man The Courier has been hired to kill to a duel.
  McCaffery: Huh, so the Garrets sent you to track me down. What a joke.
  The Courier: Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know I was supposed to laugh. I do apologize, because you're right. This is a joke. It's a joke that someone like me is still having to deal with a Radroach like you. Well here's something to think about. You're not gonna die tonight because of the Garrets. You're gonna die because I want you as an example to everyone here! Now show me your murder face, maggot!
  McCaffery: I'd rather not waste the ammo, kid, but if you insist, draw. Tries to pull out his shotgun, only to get his head blown off with automatic fire.
  The Courier: Way too slow! And with that, the most predictable duel of the century is over. If you lost any money on this bet, you deserved it. (To the crowd) Yeah that's right, I just killed a man in public with an automatic weapon. What are ya going to do about it? Nothing!
• The Season 8 trailer.
• While at Fortification Hill, Cass grudgingly admits that though she hates The Legion as much as the next girl, they are better at protecting their trade routes and it would be nice not having to think about, Fiends, Powder Gangers, and Boomers. The Courier's response?
  The Courier: Of those three, I wiped out two and made the last one my bitch.
• The Courier finally facing Benny in The Legion's Pitt, and fighting to the death with machetes.
  • Despite what a Opportunistic Bastard he was, Benny never lost his cool in the face of death.
  • The Courier's response, after recovering Maria from Benny's pockets:
  Wait a minute... you had this on you the whole time? (beat) Well I assume you didn't bother to use this because you knew it would be hopeless either way!
  (A little later)
  The Courier: Well... am I literally holding my own murder weapon right now?
  *beat*
  The Courier: Death, I hope you're listening because there's no doubt about it: You're my bitch now.
• After The Courier reunites with Boone during the season eight finale, he decides its time to go after Caesar instead of waiting any longer. Cue The Courier and his companions, attacking Caesar's main fort head on and mopping the floor with his mooks, before going after the main man himself.
  • While storming Caesar's tent, The Praetorian Guard actually put up a decent fight and are the only ones to make the team fall back, leading to the melee battle outside.
  • During said fight, The Courier and Caesar finally get to face each other, armed with a chainsaw and Power Fist respectively. Guess who wins.
  The Courier: From one maniac to another, you are way out of your league!
  • After The Courier finishes off Caesar, Boone gives a very satisfying Bond One-Liner, which doubles as a Funny Moment, when the former complains that making one-liners is his job, only to admit it was pretty good.
  Boone: Thumbs down, you son of a bitch.
• Episode 6 of Season 9:
  • The Courier demonstrates a special negotiation technique with the help of his friend, Veronica:
  The Courier: See that Power Fist my friend is wearing? Did you know that those things augment gripping power as well as punching power? She told me that this morning and I am itching to see it in action.
  Veronica: Yep.
  Tyrome: I've reconsidered my position, and I think it would be in my best interest if I were to sacrifice my profit on this particular deal.
  • After returning to Primm, The Courier essentially does Sheriff Meyer's job for him when he talks some deserters out of the town.
  The Courier: The fact that these guys even got this far clearly means that Meyers is not doing his job right. I cannot believe I have to hold his hands through this whole thing.
  • The Courier takes on Quarry Junction with his team, and the deathclaws don't stand a chance.
  • During this assault, The Courier picks up two big guns - a Light Machine Gun and A FATMAN. ]]
  The Courier (( [[On the Fatman]] )) Yeah, I realize it's too heavy, but it's a sacred relic of the God of Explosions. What, you want me to leave it behind? HERESY!
• Courier's talk (or should I say verbal smackdown?) of Caesar. Also moment of awesome for 101Phase, matching the critically and publicly acclaimed writing of Fallout: New Vegas with his own.
• For all that the context is incredibly sad, the Courier's calm and methodical takedown of Mr. House on the intellectual and physical levels is incredibly awesome.
