Sniper Wolf: I was born on the battlefield, raised on the battlefield... Rockets, gunfire, screams... they were my lullabies...
Solid Snake: There are no heroes in war. The only heroes I know are either dead or in prison. One or the other.
Meryl Silverburgh: But Snake, you're a hero, aren't you?
Solid Snake: I'm just a man who's good at what he does: Killing.
Roy Campbell: If you ask me, these so-called Next-Generation Special Forces should to be called "simulated soldiers". They have no real battle experience.
Solid Snake: Video game players, huh?
Solid Snake: A strong man doesn't need to read the future, he makes his own.
Solid Snake: I never felt truly alive until I was staring death in the face.
Sniper Wolf: I watched the stupidity of mankind through the scope of my rifle.
Psycho Mantis: From the moment we're thrown into this world, we're fated to bring each other nothing but pain and misery.
Sniper Wolf: I finally understand. I wasn't waiting to kill people, I was waiting for someone to kill me. A man like you. You're a hero.
Solid Snake: It's easy to forget what a sin is in the middle of a battlefield.
Solid Snake: Unfortunately, killing is one of those things that gets easier every time you do it.
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Liberty
Raiden: Still ticking, huh?
Vamp: Unfortunately, Hell had no vacancies.
President Johnson: Even if a pawn becomes a queen, it is still just a playing piece...
Solidus Snake: Good luck.
Fortune: Thanks, but I already have quite enough of that.
Solidus Snake: How much do you think we spent on that arm in Lyon? The best transplant surgery in the world!
Revolver Ocelot: I never trust a Frenchman.
[Vamp comes back to life in Fortune's arms]
Vamp: There's no need for sorrow, Queen. I died once already. I cannot die twice.
Raiden: Why didn't you tell me you were the real Snake?
Solid Snake: You never asked.
Otacon: As for the equipment... Hey! Snake! Cigarettes? What's wrong with you?
Solid Snake: It's my lucky charm.
Solidus Snake: Jack, listen to me. We're all born with an expiration date. No one lasts forever. Life is nothing but a grace period - for turning our genetic material into the next generation. The data of life is transferred from parent to child. That's how it works. But we have no heirs, no legacy. Cloned from our father, with the ability to reproduce conveniently engineered out. What is our legacy if we cannot pass the torch? Proof of our existence - a mark of some sort. When the torch is passed on from parent to child... it extends beyond DNA; information is imparted as well. All I want is to be remembered. By other people, by history.
Solid Snake: You want eternal rest? I've got it right here!
Solid Snake: Find something to believe in, and find it for yourself. When you do, pass it on to the future.
Raiden: Believe in what?
Solid Snake: That's your problem.
Solid Snake: If you run out of ammo, you can have mine.
Raiden: What about you?
Solid Snake: [points to his bandanna] Infinite ammo.
Fortune: Since no one can kill me, I may as well kill everyone I can.
Solid Snake: We're going to play Sniper!
Emma: You can't realize your dreams without greed.
Raiden: You're changing sides now?
Solid Snake: I don't recall saying I was on yours.
Revolver Ocelot: Americans are too in love with the sound of their own voice to speak the truth!
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
The Boss: I raised you, and loved you, I've given you weapons, taught you techniques, endowed you with knowledge. There's nothing more for me to give you. All that's left for you to take is my life.
Para-Medic: Snake, look at your body!
Naked Snake: Yep... lookin' good.
Para-Medic: Not there.
Naked Snake: Then where?
Para-Medic: You have leeches all over your body!
Ocelot: What's your name?
Naked Snake: Snake.
Ocelot: No, not that name. You're not a snake, and I'm not an ocelot. We're men with names. I'm Adamska. And you?
Naked Snake: John.
Ocelot: Plain name. But I won't forget it.
Sigint: [after talking to snake with no camo on upper body] Whatever, you do what you want.
Naked Snake: I will, just one question though.
Sigint: What's that?
Naked Snake: Is there any way to take off my pants?
Sigint: Say *what*?
Naked Snake: My pant's, can I...?
Sigint: Ah, hell, no! This FOX unit's a nutfest!
Naked Snake: He, he, he.
Major Zero: 007 is the biggest thing to come out of England since the Mayflower. I wouldn't be surprised if they made 20 more of those movies.
