Minimaul was able to figure out the format for all in-game text and did a dump of everything. From his work I was able to piece together most of the dialogue for cut SR2 activities and other things:
“ZOMBIE_HANK_MONOLOGUE_01″: “As a news correspondent I’ve seen a lot of things. I’ve watched famine destroy villages, I’ve witnessed psychic surgeons cure cancer, I’ve even covered wars…but I’ve never seen anything like this. My name is Hank East. Remember that name, because in three days I’m going to be reporting the story of a lifetime.”
Looks like a Dead Rising joke about Frank West.
Piracy, Guardian Angel, and Hijacking were cut activities that didn’t make it in to the final game. There are a lot of resources still around though including extra audio. I was able to reconstruct the back and forth dialogue for most of them:
GUARDIAN ANGEL CHINATOWN (CUT ACTIVITY)
OPENING CUTSCENE
LI: “I’m pleased you could make it. Wong Sheng Tai spoke highly of you.”
PLAYER: “Did Wong also tell you I don’t work for free?”
LI: “Of course…but before we discuss payment perhaps we should speak of what I would have you do.”
PLAYER: “If you were talking to Wong it probably has to do with killing some muthafuckers…”
LI: “This isn’t about simple murder. Several ambassadors are arriving to Stilwater for a summit, it’s imperative that thes-”
PLAYER: “Killing the ambassadors won’t be a problem.”
LI: “I don’t want you to kill them.”
PLAYER”You lost me.”
LI: “These men and women need to be protected from people like you at any cost. I will pay you handsomely to ensure their safe travel.”
PLAYER: “Oh…”
LI: “Is there a problem?”
PLAYER: “I was just hoping to, ya know, kill some dignitaries. But don’t worry, this’ll be fun too.”

DIALOGUE DURING MISSION
CUBE: “Aight boys, let’s do this…you two guard the door, I’ll go in for the cash…”
LEVAR: “We’re on it…”
CUBE: “Everybody on the ground, now! [gun shot fx]”
[Levar yells in to Cube who is in the bank]
LEVAR: “Hows it going in there, Cube?”
CUBE: “The bank manager is taking me to the vault right now…”
CUBE: “Open the vault…slowly…”
CUBE: “Listen up people. We’re havin’ problem with vault. Levar, I need you to radio our ride and make sure we’re getting a pick up…”
LEVAR: “You got it, boss…”
CUBE: “Load up the briefcase, but I swear to god you put a dye packet in this thing I will put a bullet in your ma’fuckin’ head…”
[Levar calls Ravel on the phone (Ravel is Levar spelled backwards lol)]
LEVAR: “Hey Ravel, we need you ready for pick up.”
RAVEL: “Dog, I’m runnin’ late, I need to stop by the cleaners and drop off my suit…”
LEVAR: “Bro we’re in a middle of a bank heist, the fuck you mean you have to stop to drop off your laundry?”
RAVEL: “My kid spilt juice all over my shit, you really expect me not to get it cleaned before the stain sets?”
LEVAR: “Shit, whatchu think? Turn the damn van around and get your ass over here…”
[cut back to Cube]
CUBE: “I got the cash, meet me out back, our ride should be waiting…”
CUBE: “Where the hell is our pickup?”
LEVAR: “Ravel’s runnin’ late, but he’s on his way…”
CUBE: “Aight, we gotta sit tight, or ride should be here soon…”
CUBE: “Let’s get the hell outta here boys!”

PIRACY SAINTS ROW (CUT ACTIVITY)
OPENING CUTSCENE
SARA: “You’re just in time, the plane made the drop a little bit ago.”
PLAYER: “What are you talking about?”
SARA: “Every month we donate medical supplies to various humanitarian efforts in third world countries.”
PLAYER: “I don’t see what yo-”
SARA: “(Interrupting) Of course, donating those supplies is a huge tax write off for us but we really would like for the whole process to be a little more profitable for us.”
PLAYER: “It’s a little hard to profit from charity.”
SARA: “Well, that’s why we’ve decided to jettison some of the medicine from the cargo plane mid flight.”
PLAYER: “Excuse me?”
SARA: “We dump a portion of the promised medicine, you go pick it up and sell it for money. Insurance compensates us for the loss and everybody wins.”
PLAYER: “Except the people who’re expecting the medicine…”
SARA: “(Dismissive) Look on the bright side, at least it’s not like you needed it.”
