I'm still just so fascinated by this creature. Cinder, dear, are we coming through? Can you see us clearly? Well, as clearly as you can.
”
—Watts, curious about the seer
“
Oh goody, you've recovered.
”
—Watts, to Cinder with sarcasm
“
As much as I'd love to take credit, ma'am, I can't say that either of us are to thank for this development. I guess you could say, a little birdie told us.
Little late to run and hide. You've been on our master's list for some time, so you must understand that we cannot allow you to slip away.
”
—Watts, talking to Raven
“
Technically, I was also a doctor, but I must say, the rest was spot on.
”
—Watts, talking to Raven after she recognizes him as an Atlesian scientist
“
Alright ladies, let's pause for a moment. We have one objective - retrieving the Relic of Knowledge. Now Qrow Branwen may be on our list of individuals we would very much like dead, but he's not going to go down without a fight, and he's not going to fight quietly. Our advantage here is just as you said - we walk straight into Haven, no resistance, no one the wiser. A battle with your brother throws that all out the window.
”
—Watts, to Cinder and Raven about the Relic of Knowledge and Qrow
“
Wait. Don't think I don't see what you're after. If this falls to pieces over a grudge with a child, I will not be taking the blame.
”
—Watts, warning Cinder before she makes a deal with Raven
James Ironwood never recognized my genius. After everything I gave him, he still disgraced me. I simply wish to return the favor.
”
—Watts, to Jacques about his strained relationship with Ironwood
“
A seat on the council. All I need is your login credentials for the Atlas network. You promise to make Ironwood's life a waking nightmare, and I will guarantee you victory at the polls by giving the voters down in Mantle a little… "digital push", if you will.
The Colosseum remodeling was a communications tower? How did James get this past me?
”
—Watts, questioning about James and his secret project
“
Our tin soldier's heart has cost him his mind. We need to keep their attention on Mantle for as long as possible.
”
—Watts, to Tyrian
“
If anyone on Remnant could deliver that, wouldn't it be you?
”
—Watts, to Tyrian
“
Hmm… This will certainly do the trick. Although I wouldn't exactly call it finished.
”
—Watts, about the communications tower
“
It wasn't finished... it was bait.
”
—Watts, finding out that he fell into James' trap
“
You know, James, this place has always been a technological marvel. Truly. Even before you went and, uh, did all this. The different types of Dust, the biome system, and of course, everything that goes into controlling them.
”
—Watts, to James before their battle
“
At the risk of sounding cliche, James… I won't be going down without a fight.
I said I had Penny under control. Not that I could telekinetically force her to do whatever I want.
”
—Watts, to Cinder about Penny
“
I implanted a virus in her, you dimwit. She's on a set path now. At least she should be. As much I hate to admit it, there seems to be some part of her capable of resisting. Regardless, it's only the matter of time before her mechanical body succumbs to the virus. She'll open the vault, then she'll destroy herself and our little Penny problem will be done.
”
—Watts, to Cinder about his virus on Penny
“
You know it's impressive that you haven't realized this yet but I don't work for you.
”
—Watts, to Cinder
“
Please. You can't just threaten me like everyone else.
”
—Watts, when Cinder threatens him by dropping him to his death from the building
“
Salem sent you to bring me back.
”
—Watts, reminding Cinder about Salem's orders on retrieving him
“
(laughs) Oh, of course you are! Because that's just what you do, isn't it? And how has that worked out for you? You stormed into Fria's room, thinking you can take on Ironwood's top fighter and war machine. But you couldn't. And that machine became the Winter Maiden. Oh, and let's not forget your deal with Raven Branwen. Get all your enemies in one place so you'd have a shot at revenge. If only someone could have warned you against such a miserable idea. Oh wait, I did! But you pushed ahead and you lost it, when all you had to do was your job! You think you're entitled to everything just because you've suffered, but suffering isn't enough! You can't just be strong, you have to be smart! You can't just be deserving, you have to be worthy! But all you have ever been, is a bloody migrane!
Watts... A name that brings back memories. I thought our friendships ran deeper than our rivalries did, Arthur. Pietro was shattered when he thought you were dead. Your contributions to the network in Mantle, environmental dust controls, and the Paladins are all admired to this day. Is it not enough that your work is being utilized across Atlas in one shape or another right now? Could you sacrifice the color of your spirit for your creations? Because you sure sacrificed your humanity for revenge. But you must understand... Pietro's "life's" work stands apart from ours. Arthur, we made killing machines. He... made a soul. It was our loss, clear and simple.
"You chose that fat imbecile over me!" -Watts
