KGB Soldier: Sokolov is ours. Now get out of here.
Ocelot: An ocelot never lets its prey escape.
KGB Soldier: What?
[Ocelot kills them all with his makarov]

Ocelot: [Snake, surrounded by the Ocelot unit, assumes his CQC fighting stance] What is that stance? And that gun?
[the Ocelot unit all laugh at Snake]
Ocelot: [Ocelot flips out his gun and catches it with his right hand] If you're not The Boss... then die!
[Ocelot pulls the trigger, but his gun jams, then Snake proceeds to take down him and every GRU surrounding him]
Naked Snake: You ejected the first bullet by hand, didn't you? I see what you were trying to do, but testing a technique you've only heard about in the middle of battle wasn't very smart. You were asking to have your gun jam on you. Besides, I don't think you're cut out for an automatic in the first place; you tend to twist your elbow a little to absorb the recoil. That's more of a revolver technique.
Ocelot: [pulls out a knife] You... filthy American dog!
[attacks Snake, but Snake easily takes him down]
Naked Snake: But, that was some fancy shooting. You're pretty good.
Ocelot: Pretty good...

The Boss: In 1960 I saw a vision of the ideal future from space. Three years earlier the Soviet Union had succeeded in launching Sputnik, the first manmade satellite in history, into orbit. This came as a huge shock to the United States. In response, America threw everything it had into its own manned space flight project, the Mercury project. Even as the Soviets seemed poised to send their first man into space America was still experimenting with chimpanzees in rockets. The government wanted human data. So they secretly decided to send a human being into space. I was the one they chose. At the time they didn't have the technology to block out cosmic rays and whoever they sent up would inevitably be exposed to heavy radiation. That's why they chose me. After all, I had already been irradiated once. Of course, you won't find any of this in the history books. I could see the planet as it appeared form space. That's when it finally hit me. Space exploration is nothing but another game in the power struggle between the US and USSR. Politics, economics, the arms race - they're all just arenas for meaningless competition. I'm sure you can see that. But the Earth itself has no boundaries. No East, No West, No Cold War. And the irony of it is, the United States and the Soviet Union are spending billions on their space programs and the missile race only to arrive at the same conclusion. In the 21st century everyone will be able to see that we are all just inhabitants of a little celestial body called Earth. A world without communism and capitalism... that is the world I wanted to see. But reality continued to betray me.

The Boss: Life's end...
[drops the Davy Crockett]
The Boss: Isn't it beautiful? It's almost tragic. When life ends, it gives off a final lingering aroma. Light is but a farewell gift from the darkness to those on their way to die. I've been waiting, Snake, for a long time. Waiting for your birth, your growth, and the finality of today.

The Boss: Snake, you were an atomic test subject, weren't you? On Bikini Atoll. That's part of the reason I was drawn to you. You and I are alike. We're both slowly being eaten away by the karma of others. We'll never have the chance to die peacefully of old age. We have no tomorrow.

Solid Snake: [on radio before starting Snake vs Monkey] I'll say this once and only once. I'm not taking out any more Metal Gears! Not rescuing any old men, or VIP. If it's a hot damsel in distress, I'll think about it.
Colonel Campbell: Well, it's not exactly a hot damsel, but it is a rescue mission.
Solid Snake: What are we rescuing?
Colonel Campbell: Apes.
Solid Snake: What?
Colonel Campbell: Monkeys.

Sigint: Snake, what's up? Why are you naked? I know there's a "NAKED" option under "UNIFORM" that lets you take off the upper part of your uniform. But without a shirt on, your camouflage sucks, and your stamina goes down faster. You don't get any advantages whatsoever.
Naked Snake: Sure there are.
Sigint: Like what?
Naked Snake: It feels good.
Sigint: ...Man, you do whatever you want.
Naked Snake: I will, thanks. Just one question, though.
Sigint: What?
Naked Snake: Is there a way to take off my pants?
Sigint: Say what?
Naked Snake: My pants, can I...

EVA: [voiceover] But I think she wanted you of all people to know the truth. She wanted to live on in your memory, not as a solider, but as a woman. But she was forbidden to tell you herself. And that's why she told me. Snake, history will ever know what she did. No one will ever learn the truth. Her story... her debriefing, will endure only in your heart. Everything she did, she did for her country. She sacrificed her life and honor for her native land. She was a real hero. She was a true patriot.

[if you call Sigint after a nightmare]
Sigint: Well, let me tell you about the absolute worst, most sickening nightmare I ever had. This one isn't for the kids. OK, so there's this huge pile of crap, right? It's shaped like a giant tank, and it's walking around on two legs, goin' on a rampage and stompin' on people and houses and stuff. And this giant turd is carrying the nastiest missiles you ever saw. Like whenever it launches one of its turd missiles... whatever it hits - people, trees, buildings - turns into shit. My hometown, my old school, my family, my girlfriend, old man John... Everything in that turd's path turned into shit.
Naked Snake: That's... pretty sick, man.

Para-Medic: [On the radio] Snake, have you seen "007: From Russia with Love"?
Naked Snake: I don't like those movie. Real spies are nothing like James Bond. It's pure fantasy.
Para-Medic: Snake, I don't think the Major's going to like you saying that.
Naked Snake: And even though it's fiction. I can't help but comparing myself to Bond.
Major Zero: What exactly don't you like about James Bond? Is it the fantastic gadgets? The cars? The guns?
Naked Snake: Major...!
Major Zero: Snake, wouldn't you like to have a gun shaped like a pen?
Naked Snake: What good is a pen going to do me in the jungle? I'd look like a fool.
Major Zero: Then what about a snake-shaped gun? You could make it look like you're grappling with a giant snake and then get a shot in on the enemy while they're distracted.
Naked Snake: Ok, now you're being ridiculous.

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.

The Boss: Look at this scar. This is proof that I was once a mother. I gave up my body and my child for my country. There is nothing left inside me now. Nothing at all. No hatred, not even regret. And yet sometimes at night I can still feel the pain creeping up inside me. Slithering through my body, like a snake.

The Boss: One must die and one must live. No victory, no defeat. The survivor will carry on the fight. It is our destiny... The one who survives will inherit the title of Boss. And the one who inherits the title of Boss will face an existence of endless battle. I'll give you ten minutes. In ten minutes, MiGs will come and bomb the hell out of this place. If you can beat me in less than ten minutes, you'll be able to escape in time.

The Boss: It was November 1st, 1951. I was in the Nevada desert participating in atomic testing. The name "Nevada" is derived from Spanish... "covered in snow," "white as snow." And snow is exactly what I saw in the that Nevada desert. It froze my blood white.

Sigint: [if you call Sigint while wearing a cardboard box] Uh,Snake... what are you doing?
Naked Snake: I'm in a box.
Sigint: A cardboard box? Why are you...?
Naked Snake: I dunno. I was just looking at it, and suddenly I got this irresistible urge to get inside. No not just an urge - more than that. It was my destiny to be here; in the box.
Sigint: Destiny...?
Naked Snake: Yeah. And then when I put it on, I suddenly got this feeling of inner peace. I can't put it into words. I feel... safe. Like this is where I was meant to be. Like I'd found the key to true happiness.
Sigint: ...
Naked Snake: Does any of that make sense?
Sigint: Not even a little.
Naked Snake: You should come inside the box... Then you'll know what I mean.
Sigint: Man. I don't wanna know what you mean! Between you and Para-Medic, is everyone but me that is hooked up with the Major strange?
Naked Snake: ...
Sigint: Yeah, well, anyway. I suppose even that dumbass box might make a decent disguise if you wear it inside a building.

Para-Medic: Oh... well you should see it sometime. It's about this guy who gets hurt in a car accident and tries to heal his wounds by injecting himself with a crocodile serum, but then his head turns into a crocodile head. You look just like him with that mask on. That's awesome.

Naked Snake: This is Snake. I've made it to the sneaking point.
Colonel Campbell: You're right on time, Snake.
Naked Snake: For being dragged out of the sack at two in the morning, I did my best.
Colonel Campbell: Rise and shine. Don't you love mornings!
Naked Snake: Colonel... nobody loves being dragged away from their vacation.
Colonel Campbell: I'm sorry but we needed you. Something big is going down... very big. That's why...
Naked Snake: Alright, so what is this important mission? I'll say it once and only once... I'm not taking out any Metal Gears.
Colonel Campbell: Don't worry.
Naked Snake: And no saving some VIP or old man.
Colonel Campbell: It's nothing like that.
Naked Snake: If it's a hot damsel in distress, I'll think about it.
Colonel Campbell: Well, it's not quite a... hot damsel in distress... but it is a rescue mission.
Naked Snake: Rescuing who?
Colonel Campbell: Apes.
Naked Snake: ...
Colonel Campbell: ...
Naked Snake: What?
Colonel Campbell: Monkeys! But not just any monkeys.
Naked Snake: You said monkeys?
Colonel Campbell: Just listen. Your mission is to infiltrate the jungle and capture all of the monkeys.
Naked Snake: Again, you said monkeys?
Colonel Campbell: Yes, monkeys.
Naked Snake: This isn't really my thing... If you want your monkeys, you better ask Spike or Jimmy.
Colonel Campbell: Unfortunately, they weren't available.
Naked Snake: What about me? I was on vacation!

Colonel Campbell: Snake, we need you. If you don't do this, who will?

Naked Snake: Why don't you make Sam or Gabe do the job?
Colonel Campbell: Snake...
Naked Snake: Isn't this just some monkey catching action?
Colonel Campbell: Snake, I'm asking you. It's a request from the Professor himself.
Naked Snake: THE Professor...? Natalie's grandfather?
Naked Snake: That's the one.
Naked Snake: The one who came up with the monkey helmet?
Colonel Campbell: Well, that was the Professor's classmate.
Naked Snake: His classmate?
Colonel Campbell: From high school. Not only that, but the Professor is a friend of Otacon's.
Naked Snake: He's Otacon's friend, too?
Colonel Campbell: It's because of the Professor that Otacon has been able to come up with some of his inventions.
Naked Snake: ...Alright... what are the details?
Colonel Campbell: So you'll do it, great!
Naked Snake: I'm not against some "monkey catching." But I'd rather be collecting pants.
Colonel Campbell: Snake, the monkeys have fled into the jungle. When you find them, knock them out for capture.
Naked Snake: Right. I'm not going to be able to grab them when they are jumping all around the place.
Colonel Campbell: Right. When you've grabbed all of the monkeys, your mission is complete.
Naked Snake: Gotcha. Commencing Operation Ape Snake.
Colonel Campbell: Snake, when you capture a monkey, yell out the password. With the password, a warp device will activate.
Naked Snake: Understood.
Colonel Campbell: Good. I'm counting on you, Snake.
