Twisted Metal 4[]
- "Stories tell of a carnival that would travel from town to town. At its head was a man surrounded by mystery, who is known only as Calypso."
- "One day, this carnival came to my master's town. It was unlike anything he had seen before! In it, contestants would battle in vehicles of their choosing for a chance of winning a mysterious prize. Some said this prize was a single wish; anything the victor could possibly desire. But, they also say that the stakes for playing were high. The cost of losing; one's immortal soul!"
- "My master also tells me he did not start life out as a clown. He was once a boy; A boy who dreamt of fire! Destruction! And twisted metal!"
- "Word of the deadly traveling show spread like the plague!"
- "Great was my master's skill in battle, but in the collection of souls, he was but a pawn."
- "Days turned into months, months into years. Desire turns into envy, and envy turned into a plan."
- "Calypso's time as the carnival's master of ceremonies came to an end! My master was ready to take his rightful place; seated at the throne of the Twisted Metal empire! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Trivia[]
- There's a recurring error with Melvin holding the fine that Zanita hands to him in her ending cutscene. He is seen holding it during the first view of him after it was handed to him. But when the camera is directed back to him after Zanita speaks, the fine is absent. When the camera views Needles before viewing Melvin again, the fine is shown in his hand once more, yet it disappears again when the camera changes while he is talking.
- In a trailer for the game, he states that his name is "Melvin".[1] However, this name was never mentioned in-game.
