"The Folks of Sanctuary don't know about Roland. Almost none of them would still be alive if it weren't for him, so... you might wanna let 'em know." (Mordecai, start of mission)
"I Tell ya, man. I'll never forget that time Roland an' all them jumped over Piss Wash Gully. Them's was some good times. Hell man, now I'm sad. Is this what sad feels like? You kill the crap outta Jack, you hear?" (Scooter, after hearing what happened to Roland)
"Roland's.. dead? Oh. Me and him didn't see eye to eye most of the time - he never liked how I sold guns to the bandits. But I would have died in New Haven if it weren't for him. He was a... he was a good man." (Marcus, upon hearing the bad news)
"Jack killed Roland? Son of a bitch... he helped me take care of Mister Shank, and unlike... well, damn near everyone around here, he always behaved like a gentleman. I don't... I don't know what to say. Dammit, am I crying?" (Moxxi does not take the news too well)
"Roland's dead? Oh, God... I remember the first time we met. I healed him up after he killed some of Nine-Toes's men. He seemed nice enough. Quite, But Uh...damn. I'm uh - I'm Sorry he deserved better" (Dr. Zed After hearing about Roland's Death)
"Had Roland not forced me to relocate to Sanctuary, I Would not be alive today. I am unpleasantly surprised to find that I am... sorry that Roland is dead" (Tannis)
"Mordecai told me what happened to Roland. So here's what we do. We bury Roland, we save this planet, and we kill Jack, his associates, his friends, his FAMILY - EVERYONE HE'S EVER MET! WE SKIN 'EM WITH THEIR OWN GODDAMN TEETH! I'm sorry. We went our separate ways a few years back, but Roland was my friend. And nobody - NOBODY - hurts my friends." (Brick is furious about Roland's Death)
"I'm sorry to bum you out like that, but somebody needed to tell'em. I've transmitted the code to Roland's armory to your ECHO device - if anyone deserves what's in there, it oughtta be the badass who's gonna avenge him." (Mordecai, after you have told everyone).
"Dont' let this all be for nothin, amigo. Find Jack. Kill Jack" (Mordecai, after you have completed the quest)
