Privateer 2: The Darkening (1996 Video Game)

John Hurt: Joe Kane

Quotes 

• [Lev Arris enters the notorious Sinner's Inn and walks up to the bar] 

  Joe : You're a hungry man.

  Lev Arris : Yeah, I guess I could eat.

  Joe : You are starving, don't deny it. A barman nowadays, he has to have a sixth sense about his customers. And I'm nothing if I'm not a barman. Your credit's sweet enough. So we have stew, we have lizard guts... oh, and we have Space Bug Gumbo!

  Lev Arris : I'll have the stew, please.

  Joe : I could have told you that. And you prefer your beer lukewarm, right?

  Lev Arris : No. No, actually I prefer it...

  [he suddenly hesitates, Joe's smile fades] 

  Lev Arris : Lukewarm.

  [Joe's smile returns] 

• [at the Sinner's Inn, a rough drinking establishment] 

  Joe : [as a fight breaks out]  Don't mind them, they're loudmouth vicious cutthroats.

  [a man crashes against the bar] 

  Joe : But they're decent loudmouth cutthroats.

  Lev Arris : So, they're no trouble?

  Joe : No, nothing I can't see coming. No, some spacers, as soon as they walk in I can smell it on them so I break their necks just a little to be on the safe side. No trouble I smell on you.

  Lev Arris : Uh-uh. I left my troubles outside.

  Joe : Good. Soon as I saw you, I said "Well there's one smart vertebrae." You hang around here and I'll see you'll have decent food and drink, maybe a couple of juicy deals. A respectable guy like you wants to be careful where he's seen. You don't want to hang out in some spit-and-sawdust toilet with a liquor licence, you need somewhere like this. A place with a little... refinement.

• Joe : My friends call me Joe. Probably because that's my name! Ha ha ha ha ha haaa!

• Lev Arris : Joe, listen, I need somebody.

  Joe : It's written all over your face, Lev.

  Lev Arris : Somebody who knows how to crack a password.

  Joe : Is that all?

• [in Sinner's Inn, a drunk man collapses onto the bar with a belch] 

  Joe : [hauling him off the bar]  Manners!
