C.W.'s initial tree speeches

C.W.'s initial tree speeches are given to the player by C.W. through the window of his vault after the red beam has been disabled but before any trees have been connected. Each time the player rings for C.W. before connecting any trees, he gives a follow-up speech. Once they have all been heard, C.W. no longer answers the doorbell.

Oh, yeah.

There's a cable up next to my big battery out there.

You ain't got the horse sense to get all the Trees and roots connected?

And my battery?
