Fallout 3-esque Speech Challenges in real life.

I want to know if any of you have ever said or heard anything that would fit in with the logicless speech challenges of FO3. They can be from anything.

I heard this on the radio.

Kid: Dad, can you do this math for me? It's too hard!

Dad: C'mon, you know I can't do it for you, you can do it.

Kid: No I can't.

Dad: Hey, remember when you jumped off your bed because you wanted to fly like Super-Man?

Kid: Yeah?

Dad: You still want to fly?

Kid: I want to be a pilot dad...

Dad:[SPEECH] You think pilots know math?

[SUCCESS] Kid: Okay....

I'm curious to know what logicless speech checks you encountered in Fallout 3.

PC: "[speech] This has to end, Eden. You need to destroy yourself and your base"
E: "And why would I do that, when I am clearly the best hope for the people of the Wasteland?"
PC: "You can't just decide to take over, and force everyone to follow you."
E: "What alternative would you suggest? Without the Enclave, what would the world do?"
PC: "If you don't stop it now, where will it end? It's up to you to do what's right."
E: "Yes, I suppose it is. Very well, you shall have your wish. Once you have left, I will put an end to the Enclave."
 
Either everyone can be easily convinced by any shit that you spit out, or its really bad written. Go figure.

But even though those speech checks are lame, I still think that the SPECIAL Checks (say, those [Intelligence] ones are waaaay worse than the speech checks.
 
Oh just let me get home today, I've got F3 installed on my laptop, but I don't always bring it to work.

Or both. :D

Well, post up the best "X" Challenges you can find, be they skill or stat checks

Three of my favourites are in Megaton.

PC:I see you have a drug problem.
Leo:So what?
PC:[Speech]Winners don't do drugs.
Leo:I'm convinced.

Burke:I want to destroy Megaton, miss. Do you accept the work?
PC:[Black Widow]But I live here, honey pie.
Burke:Oh, wow. I changed my mind.

PC:Can you share infos on your patients?
Doc Church:I'm a doctor, I don't divulge private informations.
PC:[Medicine]But I'm a doctor too.
Doc Church:Oh, okay then.

What makes the last one hilarious is that if you don't have the Medicine skill high enough he'll refuse even though the line you can choose is exactly identical (minus the tag, of course). Having him asking a medical question to the PC, with the correct answer appearing only if you had the necessary skill, was too complex I guess.
 
That one made me think of this:

I really hate the way that they're broadcast as a SKILL CHECK, INCOMING. Don't do that. I'm just gonna save/reload. Remove your random checks they're just dumb, replace them with non random static check

Save/Reload > random cehcks.
