- 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.
- Ocelot: What's your name?
- Naked Snake: Snake.
- Ocelot: No, not that name. You're not a snake, and I'm not an ocelot. We're men with names. My name... is Adamska. And you?
- Naked Snake: John.
- Ocelot: Plain name. But I won't forget it.
- 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: [aghast] Say WHAT?
- Naked Snake: My pants, can I...?
- Sigint: Aw, hell no! This FOX unit is a nut-fest!
- [Snake chuckles mischievously]
- 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? Wha-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: [baffled] Uh-huh.
- 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: [gives an upset groan]
- Sigint: Yeah, well. Anyway, I suppose even that dumbass box might make a decent disguise if you wear it inside a building.
- Colonel Campbell: [after "accidentally" killing Ocelot] Snake, what have you done? You've changed history. You've created a Time Paradox!
- [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.
- 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.
- [loads her Patriot]
- The Boss: Jack, let's make this the greatest ten minutes of our lives!
- 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.
- [last lines]
- 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.
- 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.
- Solid Snake: Again, what?
- The Boss: I raised you, and loved you, I've given you weapons, taught you techniques, endowed you with knowledge. There's nothing more for me to give you. All that's left for you to take is my life.
- 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...
- [passes out]
- [first lines]
- Naked Snake: After the end of World War II, the world was split into two - East and West. This marked the beginning of the era called the Cold War.
- Para-Medic: Snake, look at your body!
- Naked Snake: Yep... lookin' good.
- Para-Medic: Not there.
- Naked Snake: Then where?
- Para-Medic: You have leeches all over your body!
- 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.
- Ocelot: [Speaking to someone on the phone] Yes. Groznyj Grad and the Granin research facility have both been wiped out without a trace. I understand, sir. But they were necessary sacrifices. Yes, the CIA has taken care of The Boss themselves. I believe the White House will be satisfied. Khrushchev is finished. Your time has finally arrived. Yes. The American president is relying on us to keep a lid on the whole affair. We've got him by the balls. It should make a valuable trump card in future negotiations. Yes, Chief Director. Of course. I'll keep the KGB informed.
- [hangs up and dials another number]
- Ocelot: Yes, it's me. The Boss has accomplished her mission. The Philosopher's Legacy is now safely with us... in America's hands. With this money... yes, the Philosophers can finally be revived. The film we handed the Chinese was a fake. Peking must be in an uproar right about now. I'm afraid so. Only half of the money has made it back to the United States. The KGB must still have part of the Legacy. Yes, the weapon has been reduced to ashes. That's right. Groznyj Grad has been obliterated by the Davy Crockett we brought in as well. Yes, that was The Boss' work, too. Speaking of which, I've obtained something from Granin that you might find interesting. It's a revolutionary new nuclear attack system. Perhaps it might just come in handy some day. Yes, we have John - I mean Snake - to thank for that. Khrushchev believed it as well. Yes, they bought our story. I don't think they'll be making a fuss. The secondary alert has been lifted as well. And the Soviets still haven't discovered my true identity. They have no idea that I've been triple-crossing them. I will continue my activities as a contact for the new government. Yes, it appears that no one knew that I was ADAM. Of course. I'm always at the CIA's disposal... Mr. Director.
- [hangs up]
- The Fury: I am the Fury... The flames of my rage will incinerate you! I came back from space, and as I returned, I had one vision... the world set ablaze! And do you know what I saw? Fury! A great and terrible fury at being alive! Now you will feel the scorching heat of that horrible blackness!
- EVA: [in reference to The Boss] Snake, the world will never know what she did. Future generations will revile her; in America as a dispicable traitor with no sense of honor, and the Soviet Union as a monster who unleashed a nuclear catastrophe. She will go down in official history as a war criminal.
- Ocelot: So this is the legendary Boss? We meet at last.
- KGB Soldier: You-you're from the Ocelot unit of Spetsnaz. What's a GRU soldier doing here?
- Ocelot: Soldier?
- KGB Soldier: He's the Ocelot Commander.
- Ocelot: Ha! That's Major Ocelot to you... and don't you forget it.
- 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: I can't say it feels good to kill a comrade, even if it is for the GRU.
- The Boss: My friends, let us fight together again.
- The Fear: I have waited long for this day.
- The Pain: We will fight with you once more.
- The End: Welcome back, Boss.
- The Boss: Now that all five of us are together, it's time we go to the depths of hell itself.
- [It begins to rain]
- The Boss: It's raining blood. Is he crying?
- [the Sorrow appears near her, then disappears from sight]
- 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.
- The End: ...I beg of you, grant me the strength to take this... final prey... let me linger in this world just a little longer. I have already slept enough for one lifetime... enough for an eternity, you have my thanks. I have to thank you... for waking me, if you hadn't shown up, my sleep would have been eternal... do you hear me, Snake? I am The End, I am here to bring you to your ultimate fate. You will make a fine quarry for my final hunt.
- Sigint: Snake, why are you smoking a cigarette?
- Naked Snake: It's a cigar.
- Sigint: Cigar, cigarette, same thing.
- Naked Snake: It's *not* the same thing!
- Major Zero: The origins of afternoon tea go back to the Victorian Era. Anna Maria, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, was...
- Naked Snake: EVA, I wanted to ask you about Ocelot...
- EVA: Yeah, I know. He's pretty infatuated with you, isn't he?
- Naked Snake: That's not what I meant.
- Colonel Volgin: Who's afraid of a little thunder?
- [suddenly gets struck by a lightning bolt, lighting him on fire and killing him instantly]
- Colonel Campbell: [after 'accidentally' killing Ocelot] Snake, what have you done? You've changed the future! You've created a Time Paradox!
- Para-Medic: Yes, the Russian glowcap is a glowing mushroom, so it'll recharge your batteries when you eat it.
- Colonel Volgin: Kuwabara, Kuwabara.
- [Volgin's body sparkles from electric bolts]
- Colonel Volgin: Ah, what a joyful scene.
- The Boss: Colonel Volgin...
- Colonel Volgin: Welcome to my country, and to my unit.
- Major Zero: I don't want to call President Kennedy a liar, but I simply cannot imagine that in six years' time, man will have reached the moon.
- Naked Snake: I don't know, I never thought we would make it into space.
- Colonel Volgin: [before firing the portable "Davy Crockett" nuclear warhead into Sokolov's former research lab in the jungle] Remember the Alamo.
- President Johnson: You are above even The Boss. I hereby award you the title of Big Boss. You are a true patriot.
- EVA: OK, your Raikov disguise is complete. Now they won't stop you no matter what you do.
- Naked Snake: Even if I punch someone in the face?
- EVA: Right.
- Naked Snake: Really?
- EVA: Really.
- Naked Snake: Why?
- EVA: Raikov's just that kind of guy.
