Don Jordan: Irving Lambert

Quotes 

• Sam Fisher : Lambert, now that I got 50 million bucks with me, it's time to talk about a raise.

  Irving Lambert : Hmmm. 25 cents an hour and not a penny more.

  Sam Fisher : Deal.

• Irving Lambert : [after stabilizing Admiral Otomo]  Okay, Fisher, he's stable. Now, for your extraction; you'll have to blast your way out.

  [of the submerged Japanese ISDF headquarters] 

  Sam Fisher : [shouts]  We're over a hundred feet under water!

  Irving Lambert : But you're not pressurized. It will be a shock, but you won't get the bends.

  Sam Fisher : Next time, you're going on the mission and I'm coming up with the crazy plan.

• Irving Lambert : [Sam reaches a crash site]  Fisher, that plane is too badly damaged for you to recover the data, but we can't let it fall into North Korean hands. NKA recovery teams are already inbound. Call in an airstrike on the area.

  Sam Fisher : And leave those pilots to die?

  Irving Lambert : I'm telling you what the objective is. You have your orders. Call the air strike. That building will be a perfect vantage point.

  [Sam picks one up] 

  Irving Lambert : Fisher, I told you to leave them and call the air strike!

  Sam Fisher : Yeah, well, you gave me my orders, and I'll follow them, once I get the pilots out.

  Irving Lambert : Fisher, if you compromise the mission for those men...

  [Sam saves one] 

  Irving Lambert : Great. Now you can call that air strike.

  [Sam picks up the other] 

  Irving Lambert : What are you doing?

  Sam Fisher : No point saving one and not the other.

  Irving Lambert : You don't even exist, Fisher. You won't get any medals for this.

  Sam Fisher : Medals won't help me sleep at night.

  Irving Lambert : Now you've saved both of them. Can you call that air strike now?

• [Fisher shoots a civilian who was tortured to death] 

  Irving Lambert : Fisher! What the hell are you doing?

  Sam Fisher : Just making sure he wasn't suffering.

  Irving Lambert : Well, leaving NATO rounds in his body isn't going to look good, is it? Get back to work!

  Irving Lambert : [alternative]  Sam, leave the body and move on.

  [Sam releases the body] 

  Irving Lambert : I told you to leave the body! We don't have time for this

  Sam Fisher : I don't have to leave him hanging here like a piece of meat. You can spare 30 seconds for some simple dignity.

• Admiral Toshiro Otomo : American! What have you done?

  Sam Fisher : Give it up, Admiral; it's over.

  Admiral Toshiro Otomo : Ha! Do you think that I will surrender to you? Allow your people to strip me of my dignity? Throw me in chains? No, my people have endured your *charming* oppression for more than sixty years!

  Sam Fisher : You say tomato...

  Admiral Toshiro Otomo : Americans; always turning to their jokes when their hearts are full of fear. You should be afraid; I may be defeated, but I am a man and ideas are stronger than men. You may have stopped this war, American, but the dragon has been awakened, and he will not be so easily sedated this time.

  [Otomo unsheathes a sword and attempts to commit Sepuku] 

  Irving Lambert : [over Fisher's radio]  What happened?

  Sam Fisher : I think someone is taking himself a little too seriously.

  Irving Lambert : Well, we can't afford to let him die, Fisher. Get in there and stablize him. Hurry!

• Sam Fisher : [Sam disables a propaganda tower] 

  Irving Lambert : Good thinking, Fisher. Disabling them will improve our boys' morale.

  Sam Fisher : Our boys? I only did it because it was killing me.

  Irving Lambert : [later]  Way to go, Fisher, that's all three.

  Sam Fisher : Thank God.

• Irving Lambert : Looks like there's an active alarm system...

  Sam Fisher : Let me guess - three alarms and it's over?

  Irving Lambert : Of course not! This is no video game, Fisher.

• Irving Lambert : Fisher! Fisher! Come in!

  Sam Fisher : Yeah. I'm... ok. They wanted to interrogate me.

  Irving Lambert : Interrogate you? They couldn't have had time. You were only gone for a few minutes!

  Sam Fisher : Good.

• Irving Lambert : [as Sam is entering the torture room]  Doesn't sound too good down there Fisher

  Sam Fisher : The sound isn't the problem... you should smell it...

  Irving Lambert : You're sure he's dead?

  Sam Fisher : Deader than Elvis!
