Solid Snake: Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing.

Colonel: I hear it's amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm in flap-jaw space with the tuning fork does a raw blink on Hara-Kiri Rock. I need scissors! 61!

Colonel: Actually, I am in really bad shape financially. I pay money to my ex-wife as part of our divorce settlement, among other bills... I just had no choice but to make you pay for lunch the other day. I'm really sorry.

[about Fortune]
Revolver Ocelot: You were hamming it up as the tragic heroine, thanks to the script the Patriots wrote for you. It was pure self-indulgence - you couldn't get enough of the drama.
Share this quote

Solidus Snake: Good luck.
Fortune: Thanks, but I already have quite enough of that.

[Solid Snake hides in a locker]
Solid Snake: This reminds me of when we first met.
Otacon: I was the one inside the locker that time. We're equal now, huh?
Solid Snake: Not unless I wet my pants.
Otacon: That's a low blow, Snake.
Share this quote

Otacon: Another Chinese proverb: "Those who look to the Heavens prosper, those who defy it are no more." Do you know this one? The meaning here is - hold on a sec - that you can only survive as long as you're a part of the natural order of things. You remember pre-ripped jeans? Manufacturers thought that just because people loved old, broken-in jeans, they would want to buy new jeans that looked old. So they purposefully...
Solid Snake: What do jeans have to do with nature and order?

[When the player equips a cardboard box]
Iroquois Pliskin: The cardboard box that you have is ideal for fooling your enemies. It's a very important tool for infiltration missions.
Raiden: Really?
Iroquois Pliskin: Of course. I can't begin to count the number of agents whose lives were saved by a cardboard box...
Raiden: You mean everyone's using them?
Iroquois Pliskin: Look, I'm not exaggerating when I say the success of your mission hinges on how you use that cardboard box. But in the end, a cardboard box is only made of paper. Handle it with care or it won't be of much use to you. Don't think of it as just another box. Treat it with love... Don't be rough. Okay?

[When the player equips an enemy uniform]
Colonel: Raiden, don't act in any way that will excite the enemy's suspicion. A perfect disguise can be ruined by a single odd behavior. Be careful. If you make physical contact with the enemy while in disguise, the disguise will be deselected.
Rose: That uniform's probably not even close to your size.
Raiden: Yeah, to tell you the truth, it feels pretty tight.
Colonel: It's probably a better fit for Rosemary here than you.

[Raiden loses all of his gear and is forced to sneak around in the nude]
Colonel: Raiden, you won't be able to Hang, throw, or chokehold anyone in your current state.
Raiden: Why not?
Colonel: Is it really necessary to ask? It's just not a good idea to perform those maneuvers. There could be... complications.
Rose: Oh really, Jack. Do we have to spell it out for you? Really!

[Raiden lies unconscious on the examination table]
Solidus Snake: Is he still alive?
Revolver Ocelot: He was when Olga brought him in. I've checked everything, including the Genome data, but there's nothing on this guy; NSA, CIA, FBI, he doesn't exist in any database. He's a non-existent operative from a non-existent organization.
Solidus Snake: I suspected as much. However, I know this man.
Revolver Ocelot: [shocked] Hm?
Solidus Snake: Wake him up.
[the examination table tilts forward, bringing Raiden face-to-face with Solidus and Ocelot]
Solidus Snake: It's been a while hasn't it, Jack the Ripper?
Revolver Ocelot: You know this fellow?
Solidus Snake: You remember me, don't you? You've grown.
Solidus Snake: [snags Raiden's head with one of his mechanical arms and begins scanning] High concentration of cerebral implants. Have they altered your memory too?
[Raiden chokes and screams as Solidus scans him]
Solidus Snake: This is my son, I taught him everything I know.
[Solidus looks up in nostalgia]
Solidus Snake: Jack, I thought I'd never see you again.
Raiden: You... know me?
Solidus Snake: You don't remember? Your name, your skills, everything you know you learned from me.
Solidus Snake: [cuts to flashbacks while Solidus narrates] The 80s... the civil war... you were one of the best amongst the child soldiers that fought in that conflict. When you were barely ten years old, you became the platoon leader of the "Small Boy" unit. At the time, your outstanding kill record earned you several nicknames including "White Devil" and "Jack the Ripper." Jack, I was your godfather, I named you. When the war ended, you disappeared from the relief center. I wondered what happened to you, but I should have known they would recruit you!
Revolver Ocelot: [cuts back to present day] It's an interesting coincidence.
Solidus Snake: If he's a lackey for the Patriots, I doubt he knows anything of interest.
Revolver Ocelot: What shall we do with him?
Solidus Snake: We'll use him like you suggested.
Revolver Ocelot: What about Dead Cell?
Solidus Snake: ...Ignore them.

[when Raiden is naked trying to find Snake]
Solid Snake: Amazing how you walk around like that.
Share this quote

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.
Share this quote

Colonel: There are certain things that cannot be contained in digital information.
Raiden: What's that?
Colonel: Human memories, ideas, culture, and history. Isn't it something that should be passed on? Should that information be kept at the mercy of nature?

It's not unlike life started in the oceans four billion years ago. The White House was our primordial soup, a base of evolution. We are formless. We are the very discipline and morality that Americans invoke so often. How can anyone hope to eliminate us? As long as this nation exists, so will we.

Solidus Snake: [walking slowly towards Raiden] Jack, my son, my brothers and I are called "Les Enfant Terribles," replicas of evil genes. You are different; one-of-a-kind, but still a monster. We must decide now which monstrosity will have the privledge of survival. Oh, and by the way Jack, I was the one who killed your parents.
[Raiden looks up at him in shock]
Solidus Snake: I claimed you for my own and raised you as a soldier in the army of the Devil. I am your foster-father and your worst enemy!
Raiden: Why?
Solidus Snake: Because I needed to know if we were really someone else's creation. We're repeating history here, Jack; Liquid and Solid hunted down Big Boss trying to sever the tie that bound them to him. Unless you kill me and face your past, Jack, you will never escape.

Otacon: Raiden? About this Colonel of yours - I found out where he is.
Raiden: Where?
Otacon: Inside Arsenal.
Raiden: What?
Otacon: I've checked out all the possibilities, but I keep coming back to Arsenal. It isn't a relay point, it's the origin of the signal. And the encryption protocol it uses is exactly the same as that of Arsenal's AI - the so-called GW.
Raiden: What the hell does this mean?
Otacon: I think it means - you've been talking to an AI.
Raiden: That's impossible!
Otacon: The Colonel probably isn't GW per se. GW was most likely stimulating cortical activity in the dormant part of your brain through signal manipulation of your own nanomachines. The Colonel is in part your own creation, cobbled together from expectations and experience.
Raiden: That's crazy!
Otacon: But it's probably the truth. The virus may be starting to affect GW, which would explain the Colonel's behavior.
Raiden: It was all - an illusion? Everything I've done so far...?
Solid Snake: Raiden!
Raiden: Snake - what's happening around here?
Solid Snake: I don't know. What I do know is that you're standing right here in front of me. Not an illusion - flesh and blood. It's your call. You can drop this if you want.

Fortune: Why the uncharacteristic generosity?
Solidus Snake: I'm no philanthropist. Arsenal is far from impregnable. It needs other Metal Gears as guards, a huge payload of warheads, and full air, sea, and land support to function efficiently. Against a large attack force without support, Arsenal is nothing more than a gigantic coffin. Seizing Arsenal Gear was never the real objective!
