	In time, all men die, the gun just speeds things up.
	Trust me: You want me on your side.
	People who say you can't outrun a bullet have a severe lack of imagination.
	Time travel isn't a thing... yet.
	Time's a-wastin'! That was a little time joke. Not sure if you picked up on that.
	I gave up my name to join Paradox. And it's a choice I would gladly make again.
	Do- really? Don't expect me to explain how this all works. Just be happy that it works.
	No one can stop me from taking what I want.
	It was smart to turn to Paradox for help.
	I represent Paradox, and we always get what we want.

	More time to plan a heist.
	That certainly was a choice.
	Spurning Paradox is a mistake.
	Paradox will remember this insult.
	You... realize I create walls of time, right?
	Think I'll take a walk through the museum.
	Great. I didn't wanna miss the Paradox blackmail party tonight, anyway.
	You know where to find me if you want my help.
	You're gonna regret it.
	Good luck out there.

Conversations[edit | edit source]

Hero	Complete?	Transcription
Abrams	Yes	Abrams: I don't like the way you've been looking at the tome. Paradox: Can't a girl be curious? Abrams: I'm warning you Paradox. You touch my property, you won't like what happens next.
		Paradox: We've been following your work, detective. Abrams: Who's we? Paradox: Paradox. Abrams: And why's that? Paradox: We like secrets and you seem to have a knack for finding them. But a word of advice. Some things aren't meant to be revealed. Stop asking questions about us. Abrams: Ugh, I'll keep that in mind. Paradox: Be sure that you do.
		Paradox: You look uneasy, detective. Abrams: Just wondering if we're going to have a problem. Paradox: With the ritual upon us, Paradox has bigger concerns than your nose in our business. So no, you have nothing to fear from me.
Bebop	Yes	Paradox: You're a marvel to behold, Bebop. Truly exquisite craftsmanship. Bebop: You should see me fight! Paradox: I can't wait to see it.
		Paradox: Between the two of us, we'll put them right where we want them. Bebop: Looking forward to working with you, Paradox!
		Paradox: "Bebop". That's a curious name for a golem. Bebop: Eh... Ms. Shelly's a fan of music. Paradox: Do you play? Bebop: Sadly, no. These hands aren't exactly, uh... delicate. Paradox: Are you gonna let a little thing like "hands" stop you? Bebop: Seems rather important. Paradox: S'pose so but, I bet there's a solution if you try hard enough.
Drifter	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.
Dynamo	Yes	Dynamo: So, how does time manipulation work? Paradox: I have no idea. Dynamo: That's... not particularly helpful. Paradox: It's almost like I don't give away secrets for free.
		Dynamo: I'm absolutely fascinated by your organization, Paradox. Paradox: Thank you very much, professor. Dynamo: I took Marla to the last pop-up. Truly... wonderful things to behold. Paradox: I think you'll enjoy our next event. I'll make sure you get in. Dynamo: I can't wait!
		Dynamo: Can I ask you a question? Paradox: Sure. Dynamo: Why do you keep stealing things? Don't you have enough? Paradox: Why do you keep reading books? Haven't you read enough? Dynamo: Point taken.
Grey Talon	Yes	Paradox: The Baxter Society pulling you out of retirement? Grey Talon: This has nothing to do with the society. Paradox: If it did, would you tell me? Grey Talon: I'm not in the mood for games, Paradox. Paradox: I really thought you'd be more fun... Grey Talon: Sorry to disappoint you.
		Paradox: I'd love to see the inside of the Manor House. Grey Talon: I wouldn't recommend breaking in. Paradox: Oh, I know what happened to the last member of Paradox that tried to steal from the Baxter Society. That's why I want you to get me in. Grey Talon: Never going to happen. Paradox: We'll see.
		Paradox: You're looking spry for an old man. Grey Talon: Spry enough. Paradox: Don't expect me to carry you if you lag behind. Grey Talon: The only thing I expect from Paradox is style over substance.
Haze	Yes	Paradox: Uhh, if we win, I don't suppose you could put in a good word with the Curator Division for me? Haze: Afraid not. Paradox: Worth trying.
		Haze: Are you the one who stole Booth's Derringer? Paradox: This may surprise you, Haze, but as a Scottish woman I don't particularly give a shit about American artifacts. Haze: What about Paradox in general? Paradox: Of course we stole it.
		Paradox: You look uptight. Haze: That's because I don't trust you. Paradox: You have more sense than I thought.
Holliday	Yes	Paradox: We're... not going to have any... problems, right sheriff? Holliday: I don't care about you or your friends. Paradox: In that case, welcome to New York!
		Paradox: A word of advice, sheriff? Holliday: Can't wait to hear this. Paradox: Don't trust the OSIC. Their goals and your goals are not in alignment.
		Holliday: How often do you take the mask off? Paradox: You think I keep this on all the time? Holliday: Lady, you're running around with a fishbowl on your head. I think it's safe not to assume anything.
		Holliday: So, what's your story, lady? You fall in a vat of clocks? Paradox: It's not wise to mock Paradox. Holliday: Yeah, you're real spooky.
Kelvin	Yes	Paradox: I don't suppose you have any trinkets you'd be willing to donate to the Paradox Museum? Kelvin: Why do I have the feeling that you already robbed me? Paradox: Goes to say, we definitely planned on robbing you during the ritual, but my colleague may or may not have broken into your home yet. Kelvin: I'm... Not sure what to say to that. Paradox: Be flattered that you lived a life interesting enough to be robbed by us.
		Kelvin: You have so many gifts and yet you waste them on petty theft and childish stunts. Paradox: That's a little judgemental. Kelvin: It's the truth. Paradox: The heart wants what the heart wants, Kevin.
		Paradox: You... Know you're held in high regard by Paradox, right? Kelvin: Why? I'm an explorer, not a thief. Paradox: An explorer is just a thief that specializes in stealing from the dead. Kelvin: That's a gross oversimplification. Paradox: Who's got time for nuance?
Lady Geist	Yes	Lady Geist: I heard a rumor that you had one of my husband's paintings. Paradox: I wouldn't know, art's not really my thing. Lady Geist: I want it back. Paradox: I don't blame you. Lady Geist: I am not someone to play games with. Paradox: Lady, we already robbed you. You're exactly the person to play games with. If you want the painting back, I recommend that you try to find it. Good luck.
		Lady Geist: You know, I've been to the Paradox museum last summer. Paradox: Did you enjoy yourself? Lady Geist: I found it cliché and overwrought. Paradox: Excuse me? Lady Geist: It was a multi-million exhibition with the emotional depth of a 10th grader writing "I will rage against conformity" in a poetry unit of Remedial English. Paradox: It had a hellenistic bust of Homer! Lady Geist: Homer is also overwrought.
		Lady Geist: How often do your little social club gather? Paradox: A few times a year. Lady Geist: I'm assuming your ilk likes to brag about what they stole. Paradox: We're a bunch of bored rich people, of course we brag about what we stole.
Seven	Yes	Seven: For all the might your organization wields, you waste it on publicity stunts. Paradox: We don't need to explain ourselves to you. Seven: I would settle for you explaining it to anyone.
		Paradox: What is it worth it to you to have your safehouses location... Not exposed? Seven: Your life. Paradox: I won't be threatened by you, Seven. Seven: And yet you just were. Paradox: You have until the end of the ritual to consider your answer.
		Seven: Does Paradox take commissions? Paradox: ... No. Our jobs are based on individual interest and challenge. Seven: But if I proposed something... Would you consider it? Paradox: I would be lying if I didn't say I was curious. Seven: We'll speak later.
Wraith	Yes	Paradox: At some point, they're going to think they escaped us... And then reality is going to hit them. Wraith: Oh it's gonna be hilarious.
		Wraith: You know what I like about you, Paradox? You don't just like to win. You like to do it with style. Paradox: The feeling's mutual, Wraith.
		Wraith: When's the next event? Paradox: We're securing a few more items of interest, but hopefully the gallery will be opened shortly. Wraith: Anything exciting? Paradox: Blackmail on Fairfax, the Ghent Altarpiece, the Tome of Anubis... Wraith: I thought that was at the Met? Paradox: Sure it is.

	They're not ready for what I've got planned.

	I'll put them in their place.
	I'll make the opening. Just be sure you're ready to capitalize.
	They aren't going to like what I have planned.
	Don't worry, boys and girls, time's on our side.

Post-Game[edit | edit source]

Audio	Transcription
	Can't wait to tell the Paradox Council about this.
	This is going to make a hell of an exhibit in the museum.
	What did I tell you? Paradox... is inevitable.
	Time to talk to a god!
	We made history.
	It was fun working with you all, we should run another job sometime.

Voice lines spoken by enemies when interacting with Paradox.

Hero	Context	Transcription
Abrams	Kill	Took out Paradox.
		Stopped Paradox.
		Time thief's dead.
		You weren't a threat. Just a nuisance.
		You're clever, lady. But not as clever as you think you are.
	Killed post-swap	Your little trick didn' work!
		Gotta try better than that, Paradox.
		You really think your little party trick would make a difference?!
Bebop	Kill	The Time Thief is down!
		We don't need to worry about Paradox for a while!
		That could have gone worse.
		Paradox, you're not on my level!
		You've never fought someone like me, Paradox!
Billy	Kill	Time thief? Please?
		I hope you choke on your dumb ascot.
		I'll leave the blue flower on your headstone.
		What a snob.
		Paradox ain't a woman of the people, she's just somebody snooty in a mask.
	Killed post-swap	You ain't special, Paradox.
		Gotta try harder than that, Paradox!
		That's the best you got? Swappin' places?
Calico	Kill	Oh, I've always wanted to go toe-to-toe with Paradox.
		Love your museums, by the way.
		I was hoping our paths would never cross, Paradox.
		Next time, just stay out of my wayǃ
		You shouldn't have provoked me, Paradox.
	Killed post-swap	That was your big plan?
		You need to do better, Paradox.
		[Chuckle] Paradox thought she was sooo smart.
The Doorman	Kill	Paradox has been defeated.
		The time thief won't be bothering us.
		Tsk tsk tsk, Paradox, when are you going to learn?
		I wouldn't let you take a coaster from the Baroness's lounge, what makes you think I'll let you finish the ritual?
		You may be clever, Paradox, but in the end, you're only human.
	Killed post-swap	You have to try harder than that, Paradox!
		You're not half as clever as you think you are, Paradox!
		You made a grave mistake, Paradox!
	Hotel Guest Taunt	I know what you’re thinking, Paradox. Sadly there are no tchotchkes for you to take as a souvenir from your time at The Baroness. Just the memory of an unforgettable experience.
	Hotel Guest Taunt (short)	What will the Paradox council think when you fail in truly spectacular fashion?
Drifter	Kill	She thought she was on top, didn't she?
		I love it when they think they are clever.
		Paradox, you can do better than that!
		I can't wait to find more of her little friends.
		There's no escapin' me, Paradox.
Dynamo	Kill	Stopped Paradox!
		Took care o' the time thief!
		Kids these days...
		Close call...
		She made me work for that.
	Killed post-swap	Well, you tried, Paradox.
		Effort isn't enough, Paradox.
		And you thought you had the upper hand!
Grey Talon	Kill	I have no time for games, Paradox.
		I won't be stopped by the likes of you, Paradox!
		Took down the time thief!
		Try your tricks somewhere else.
		Paradox, all you did was delay the inevitable!
	Killed post-swap	I'm done playing games, Paradox.
		The fox can only outrun the hunter for so long.
		You picked the wrong man to toy with.
Haze	Kill	All style, no substance.
		Paradox should know better than to interfere with us.
		Paradox will die with you.
		You're no queen of thieves. You're just another target.
		Such a disappointment.
	Killed post-swap	Did you think you had an edge?
		Getting sloppy, Paradox.
		Did she think that would work?
Holliday	Kill	It's over, Paradox.
		The legend was way more impressive than the reality.
		Time thief? Please, you're just a petty crook.
		Paradox won't be bothering us for a while.
		Crawl back to whatever hole you were hiding in, Paradox.
	Killed post-swap	That the best you got?!
		I expected more from you.
		Takes more than that to stop me, Paradox!
	Ping (see)	There's the time thief!
Infernus	Kill	Took out Paradox!
		Nice try, Paradox.
		Oh you ain't robbin' us, Paradox.
		All those tricks were never gonna be enough.
		You're not half as clever you think you are, Paradox.
	Killed post-swap	Cute trick.
		Well Paradox... You tried.
		That the best you got, Paradox?
	Steals Rejuvenator	Paradox!
		Paradox robbed us!
		Of course she stole the Rejuve'.
Ivy	Kill	Stopped Paradox!
		Took down Paradox!
		Ay, she was a tough one!
		I am so sick of that lady!
		Paradox's been dealt with!
	Killed post-swap	That was never going to finish me off, Paradox!
		It'll take a lot more than that, Paradox!
		This isn't over yet, Paradox!
Kelvin	Kill	I stopped the time thief.
		Paradox is no longer a threat.
		We need not worry about Paradox.
		You're clever, Paradox, but you're not better than me.
		Almost had me, Paradox.
	Killed post-swap	You're not as smart as you think, Paradox.
		I've been put in worse death traps.
		You have to be faster if you want to catch me, Paradox!
Lady Geist	Kill	First my husband, now me. When will Paradox stay out of my life?
		I've looked forward to this for quite some time.
		You thought you were untouchable, didn't you, Paradox?
		I've waited fifty years for this.
		Your organization will crumble.
	Killed post-swap	She thought she was so clever...
		Your tricks weren't enough.
		You didn't really think that would work, did you?
	Steals Rejuvenator	That little thief did it again.
		Paradox!
		Right from under our noses!
Lash	Kill	Took down little miss fishbowl head.
		Yeah, Paradox won't be bothering us for a while.
		Paradox. Pfft.
		I don't get the big deal.
		Time thief's down!
McGinnis	Kill	And you thought you were so clever...
		Maybe Paradox will stop tryna raid my lab.
		Paradox, come at me again and see what happens.
		You learned you lesson, Paradox?
		Stay away from me.
Mina	Kill	Handled Paradox.
		You know, there was a time when Paradox was actually relevant.
		She thought she was so smart.
		Hey! I killed the time thief.
		I made that look easy!
	Killed post-swap	You're pathetic, Paradox.
		That's the best you got, Paradox?
		Thought she'd be harder to kill than that.
Mirage	Kill	Nashala won't end up in one of your museums, Paradox.
		Paradox will be destroyed.
		The Djinn won't rest until Paradox is dismantled.
		When will Paradox learn?
		The Djinn's enemies are my enemies.
	Killed post-swap	You're not as smart as you think.
		All you did was delay the inevitable.
		Really, Paradox? That's the best you can do?
	Steals Rejuvenator	She stole the Rejuvenator.
		Paradox stole our Rejuvenator!
		Damn you, Paradox!
Mo & Krill	Kill	We took out Paradox!
		She was a clever one, but clever only gets you so far.
		She made some questionable life decisions.
		Be on guard, Momo. She'll be back.
		Oh, she's not going to be happy about that.
	Killed post-swap	Good try, Paradox.
		You'll have to do better than that, Paradox.
		You thought you had an advantage, didn't you?
Paige	Kill	I bet that lady stole some really good books.
		Took down Paradox!
		You know, they say never judge a book by its cover, but... You are running around in a trench coat, and a mask, and shooting at people, so I think it's pretty safe to make assumptions... You look great, though!
		Stopped the time thief!
		She was a tricky one!
Pocket	Kill	I took out Paradox!
		You can dress up however you want but at the end of the day, you're just another rich asshole.
		I used to be a big fan!
		Maybe my dad was right about you guys.
		I really didn't want to make enemies with Paradox today.
Seven	Kill	The time thief is dead.
		Your organization will be mine, Paradox.
		Got Paradox.
		Paradox won't be bothering us for a while.
		Paradox needs a new leader.
	Killed post-swap	I won't be killed by the likes of you, Paradox.
		You were a fool to fight me, Paradox.
		[Chuckle] Big mistake, Paradox.
	Steals Rejuvenator	Paradox!
		We've been robbed by Paradox!
		Paradox will answer for this!
	Ping (see)	Ahhh, so the time thief has made her appearance...
Shiv	Kill	Time thief is dead.
		Paradox has been handled.
		That was a wily one.
		Stupid time wall.
		What a nuisance.
Victor	Kill	Took down Paradox.
		Paradox is out of the way.
		I'm not here for your games, Paradox.
		God, she's annoying.
		Paradox isn't our problem anymore.
	Killed post-swap	Not clever enough, Paradox.
		That the best you got, Paradox?!
		You picked the wrong fight, lady.
Vindicta	Kill	I stopped Paradox!
		You're not as clever as you think, Paradox.
		I dealt with the time thief!
		I won't let Paradox ruin my chance at revenge!
		She won't bring me out of the sky!
Viscous	Kill	I took out Paradox!
		She's dead.
		She's clever, but now she's clever and dead.
		I stopped Paradox! Yay!
		That should buy us some time.
	Killed post-swap	You thought you were clever, didn't you?
		Nice try.
		Not today.
Vyper	Kill	Stopped the time thief!
		Paradox is outta commission!
		Yeah, won't be seeing Paradox for a while.
		Gotta say, she really makes the coat work.
		Okay, maybe next time, you guys shouldn't kick me out of the Paradox Museum!
Warden	Kill	To think I was worried about the Time Thief...
		All your power... And you squander it on petty nonsense.
		Paradox, if you applied yourself you might actually be dangerous.
		Paradox... You mascarade as having a code, when really you are driven by nothing but ego!
		Pride will only get you so far, Paradox.
	Killed post-swap	Reposition me all you like; the result is the same!
		Your little time tricks were never gonna be enough!
		You think you had the advantage there, Paradox?!
Wraith	Kill	Check out Paradox.
		Dealt with the time thief.
		Nice try, lady.
		Paradox won't be bothering us for a while.
		Should've stayed out of my way, Paradox.
	Killed post-swap	You didn't really think that would get it done, did ya?!
		You don't got what it takes, Paradox.
		Cute trick, next time: try one that works.
Yamato	Kill	[This is not a game, Paradox.]
		[Paradox, this ends here.]
		[This is what happens when kids get cocky.]
		[Paradoxes are meaningless before the Seventh Moon!]
		[You're not as smart as you think.]

			Oh, I'm coming for you, Akimbo.
			Akimbo, this isn't over!
Astro	Killed by	Old name for Holliday	Ok, sheriff. If that's how you wanna play, fine by me.
			Gotta look out for that lasso of hers.
			I do not know what Forge sees in her.
			Well, I know someone who's getting their museum privileges revoked!
			I'll remember that, Astro.
Atlas	Killed by	Old name for Abrams	Probably shouldn't have made Atlas mad.
			I need to get through that guy's armor.
			Atlas is tough to bring down.
			We need a plan to stop Atlas.
			Maybe he wasn't making up all that time soldier stuff after all...
Ballista	Killed by		I gotta stop Ballista.
			That little anarchist is ruining everything.
			God, I hate them.
			Lash's ex is as obnoxious as he is. I'm shocked.
			They wanna play with explosives, I'll show them explosives.
Butcher	Killed by		I think I'll leave killing werewolves to the Haunts.

			We need to stop her before she ravages everything.
			That's the last time I laugh at a lady with a rock.
			That woman is dangerous.
Chrono	Killed by		I won't let her sully Paradox's name.
			I won't be replaced by her.
			I can't let that impostor win.
			Won't lie, wasn't expecting to see a doppleganger.
			Suddenly I understand why people hate me.
Dynamo	Killed by		Maybe he'll quit if I just offer him a spot in the museum food court.
			That kid got his hands on some impressive tech.
			How does a line cook get his hands on a black hole generator?
			Worst part is that I can't even be pissed. He's just so damn nice!
			That kid's tougher than he looks.

			I'll get Kali next time.
Yamato	Kill		C'mon Yamato, don't tell me you're still mad at me.
			I can't wait to steal that sword.
			Hopefully, she stays down this time.
	Killed by		Her dad's scary, she's scary, and I bet her kids wear matching outfits.
			That sword's gonna be a problem.
