I think the Iron Bond is a button to activate silent mode. Curly gave it to Quote so she wouldn't press it, and so Quote would to get his voice back.
That's wrong on so many levels, I don't know where to start... Well, first, BUTTONS DON'T WORK THAT WAY! A button is an electrical device whose function is to open/close a circuit when pressed. Standing alone, it has no defined function other than it's "natural" one. Also, Quote didn't "lose" his voice. There are numerous events throughout the game which clearly state that he, in fact,
can talk. Then there's the whole "mute button present on a robot's body" issue which is totally ridiculous. Okay, being able to turn my robot's voice off is not a bad idea, but only when it's not able to turn it back on...
There's more, but I hope this is just enough.
