Deus Ex (2000 Video Game)

Tom Hall: Walton Simons, Howard Strong, Morpheus, Bar Man Vince, Clinic Bum

Quotes 

• Walton Simons : You take another step forward and here I am again, like your own reflection in a hall of mirrors.

  JC Denton : That makes me one ugly son of a bitch.

• Bob Page : Your appointment with FEMA should be finalized within the week. I've already discussed the matter with the Senator.

  Walton Simons : I take it he was agreeable?

  Bob Page : He didn't really have a choice.

  Walton Simons : Has he been infected?

  Bob Page : Oh yes. Most certainly. When I mentioned we could put him on the priority list for the Ambrosia vaccine, he was so willing it was almost pathetic.

  Walton Simons : This plague... the rioting is intensifying to the point where we may not be able to contain it.

  Bob Page : Why contain it? Let it spill over the schools and churches, let the bodies pile up in the streets. In the end they'll beg us to save them.

  Walton Simons : I've received reports of armed attacks on shipments. There's not enough vaccine to go around, and the underclasses are starting to get desperate.

  Bob Page : Of course they're desperate; they can smell their deaths, and the sound they'll make rattling their cages will serve as a warning to the rest.

  Walton Simons : Mmm. I hope you're not underestimating the problem. Intelligence suggest they're behind the problems in Paris.

  Bob Page : Bunch of pretentious old men playing at running the world. But the world left them behind long ago. We are the future.

  Walton Simons : We have other problems.

  Bob Page : UNATCO?

  Walton Simons : Formed by executive order after the strike on the Statue. I have someone in place though. I'm more concerned about Savage. He's relocated to Vandenberg.

  Bob Page : Our biochem corpus is far in advance of theirs, as is our electronic sentience, and their 'ethical inflexibility' has allowed us to make progress in areas they refuse to consider.

  Walton Simons : The augmentation project?

  Bob Page : Among others. But, I must admit, I've been somewhat disappointed with the performance of the primary unit.

  Walton Simons : The secondary unit should be online soon. It's currently undergoing preparations and should be operational within six months. If necessary, the primary will be terminated.

  Bob Page : We've had to endure much, you and I, but soon there will be order again. A new age. Aquinas spoke of the mythical city on the hill, soon that city will be real and we will be crowned its kings. Or, better than kings... Gods!

• Walton Simons : What an expensive mistake you turned out to be.

• Walton Simons : All in all, you weren't a bad experiment. You will be the last prototype we have to discard.

• Walton Simons : [Simons is interrogating an NSF Prisoner]  You will confess, by the way. I don't like to dirty my hands with that sort of thing, but you will confess.

  NSF Prisoner : Leave me alone.

  Walton Simons : If you wanted to save people, you could have unloaded the whole shipment in Manhattan. Why the airlift?

  NSF Prisoner : You said it yourself; secrets are power.

  Walton Simons : We have less civilized ways of making you talk. I am a patient man.

  NSF Prisoner : Ask me if I care.

  Walton Simons : But not that patient.

  [Simons shoots the NSF Prisoner dead] 

• Walton Simons : You can't begin synthesizing the vaccine without a universal constructor, and don't think we're going to just leave one lying around. Not after you blew up the one in Hong Kong.

  JC Denton : I was never properly trained in its operation.

• JC Denton : Excuse me, but I don't believe I know your name.

  Walton Simons : We aren't ready for an introduction. Not yet.
