Quotes 

• Security Guard : [inspecting a prototype 'Tau Cannon']  What is this thing, some kinda weapon?

  Scientist : Put that down, it's a prototype...

  Security Guard : [Blows a hole in the wall with it]  Man! Why aren't we using it?

  Scientist : It's much too unpredictable, don't let it overcharge!

  Security Guard : What d'ya mean, "overcharge"?

  Scientist : [Tau Cannon overcharges, killing them both]  NO!

• Eli Vance : [after the experiment fails]  Why didn't they listen? We tried to warn them.

  Scientist 2 : I never thought I'd see a resonance cascade, let alone create one.

  Eli Vance : Gordon, you're alive! Thank God for that hazard suit. I'm afraid to move him and all our phones are out. Please get to the surface as soon as you can and let someone know we're stranded down here. You'll need me to access the retinal scanners. I'm sure the rest of the science team will gladly help you.

• Soldier : [Over a dead soldier's radio]  Come in, Cooper! Do you copy? Forget about Freeman, we're abandoning the base. If you have any last bomb targets, mark them on the tactical map. Otherwise, get the hell out of there! Repeat, we are pulling out and commencing airstrikes, give us targets or get below!

• Security Guard : [to Gordon]  Hey, catch me later - I'll buy you a beer!

• Scientist : [to a security guard in a sealed off control room]  For God's sake, open the silo door! They're coming for us, it's our only way out!

  Scientist : [the guard is killed by a zombie]  Oh my God, we're doomed!

• Scientist : Freeman, you fool!

• Soldier : I didn't sign on for this shit. Monsters, sure, but civilians? Who ordered this operation anyway?

• Scientist : [playing with tie]  Why do we all have to wear these ridiculous ties?

• Soldier : Forget about Freeman, we are cutting our losses and pulling out! Anybody left down there now is on his own, repeat, if you weren't already, you are now!

• Security Guard : I would really like a cold one right now...

• Security Guard : [to Gordon]  Mister, if you can get the power on, that train will take us straight to the surface. I would try it myself, but it's a long way down the generator room, and there are... things, in the way...

• Eli Vance : Ah, Gordon. Here you are. We just sent the sample down to the test chamber.

  Scientist 2 : We boosted the anti-mass spectrometer 105 percent. Bit of a gamble, but we need the extra resolution.

  Scientist 3 : The administrator is very concerned that we get a conclusive analysis of today's sample. I gather they went to some length to get it.

  Eli Vance : They're waiting for you Gordon, in the test chamber.

• Security Guard : [shooting with a pistol at a sixty foot high 3 headed creature]  Eat this, you outer-space octopus!

• Soldier : We've got hostiles!

• Security Guard : [switching on a false alarm]  C'mon, Gordon! You trying to get me into trouble?

• Security Guard : [when told to follow player]  Roger that, let's run like hell!

• Security Guard : Do you think there's a cold beer for us at the end of all this?

  Security Guard : Don't bet on it.

• Security Guard : [to Gordon]  I'd like to get my hands on the guy responsible for this mess.

• Soldier : I killed twelve dumbass scientists and not one of 'em fought back. This sucks.

• Soldier : Where are we taking this Freeman guy?

  Soldier : Topside for questionin'.

  Soldier : What the hell for? We got him. Let's kill him now.

  Soldier : Uhh... and if they find the body?

  Soldier : Body...? What body?

  Soldier , Soldier : [Chuckling]
