Silent Hill 2 (2024 video game)

"Mary... Could you really be in this town?"

"I got a letter. The name on the envelope said 'Mary.' My wife's name... It's ridiculous. Couldn't possibly be true. That's what I keep telling myself. Mary died of that damn disease three years ago. So then why am I looking for her? Our 'special place'... What could she mean? This whole town was our special place. Could Mary really be here? Is she really alive, waiting for me?"

"Don't worry, I'm not crazy. At least, I don't think so..."

"Ugh. This town's full of monsters. Who could just sit here and eat pizza?"

"I think you were right. What we're looking for, it's not here."

"[to the twin Pyramid Heads] I know what you are. I know why I needed you. But it's all over now. I don't need you anymore. I'm ready."

"["In Water" Ending] I miss you so much. I tried, I really did, but I can't... I just can't go on without you. I can't forgive myself for what I've done. I know this isn't what you would want. But I guess it doesn't matter anymore, you... You're not here. Are you?"

"["Rebirth" Ending] Mary. You look so peaceful. Forgive me for waking you. Without you, I just can't go on. This town, Silent Hill.... The Old Gods haven't left this place. And they still grant power to those who venerate them. Power to defy even death. Ah... Mary."

"In my restless dreams, I see that town. Silent Hill. You promised you'd take me there again some day. But you never did. Well, I'm alone there now, in our special place. Waiting for you."

"I don't know why, but I just love it here. It's so peaceful. You know what I heard? This whole area used to be a sacred place. I think I can see why. It's too bad we have to leave... Promise you'll take me again, James."

"What do you want, James? Flowers? I don't want any damn flowers. Just go home already. Look at me. I'm disgusting! Between the disease and the drugs, I look like a monster. Well, what are you looking at? Get the hell out of here. Leave me alone already! I'm no use to anyone. I'll be dead soon anyway. It'd be easier if they'd just kill me. But I guess the hospital's making a nice profit off me... Why are you still here? I told you to go! Are you deaf?! Don't come back! James! Wait! Please don't go... Don't leave me alone. I didn't mean what I said. Please... Tell me it'll be okay. Tell me I'm not going to die. Help me!"

"In my restless dreams, I see that town. Silent Hill. You promised you'd take me there again some day. But you never did. Well, I'm alone there now, in our special place. Waiting for you to come and see me. But you never do. So I wait, wrapped in my cocoon of pain and loneliness. I know I've done a terrible thing to you. I wish I could change that, but I can't. I feel so pathetic and ugly laying here. Every day I stare up at the cracks in the ceiling and all I can think about is how unfair it is. The doctor came today. Told me I could go home for a short stay. It's not that I'm getting better. It's just that this could be my last chance. Even so, I'm glad to be coming home. I missed you so much. But I'm afraid James. I'm afraid you don't really want me to come home. Every time you come to see me, I can tell how hard it is on you... And I don't know if you hate me or pity me... Or maybe I just disgust you. I'm so sorry. When I first learned that I was going to die, I couldn't accept it. I was so angry, I struck out at everyone I loved. Especially you. That's why I understand if you hate me. But I want you to know, I will always love you. Even though our life together had to end like this, I still wouldn't trade it for the world. Well, this letter has gone on too long so I'll say goodbye. I told the nurse to give this to you after I'm gone. Which means that as you're reading this, I'm already dead. But that's okay. I'm not afraid of it anymore. I just hope the pain will end soon so that you remember me for who I was and not what the disease made me. I want you to go on. I want you to live for yourself and for others. Like you did for me. James... You made me happy."

"My name is Maria. I don't look like a ghost, do I? See? Warm."

"I mean, there's this one place, not far from here. [...] The kind two lovers might call "special". I can show you, if you want. Unless you have somewhere else to be? Something else to do?"

"Is it because... I remind you of... her? You loved her, didn't you? Didn't you?"

"You gonna dance, big guy? I'd pay to see that..."

"Are you confusing me with someone else?"

"Ain't no big deal. Just put the gun to the head and pow."

"Couldn't leave well enough alone, huh? You just had to follow me all the way out here. How many times do I have to kill you?!"

""You fat, disgusting piece of shit! You make me sick! You gonna cry, fatass? Run to your mama?! Waste of skin! Why don't you just kill yourself?!" Well maybe he was right. Maybe I am nothing but a fat disgusting piece of shit. But you know what? It doesn't matter if you're smart, dumb, ugly, pretty, it's all the same once you're dead! And a corpse! Can't! Laugh!"

"Don't get all holy on me, James. This town called you, too. Yeah -- you and me, we're the same. We're not like other people, don't you know that? Well... You're about to find out!"

"Do you know what it does to you, James? When you're hated, picked on, spit on... Yeah, I ran away after I killed the dog. But you know what? It was fun! It tried to chew its own guts out! Finally died all curled up in a ball. Then he came after me. I shot him too, right in the leg. He cried more than the dog! And now it's your turn, James!"

"You'll die here, James. You'll squirm and squeal and cry like a little girl. And then you'll curl up and die. And it's gonna feel great! Just like before!"

"I'm sorry! I've been bad! Please, don't...!"

"This place is different from what I remember. I guess things never really stay the same, do they?"

"You shouldn't be here."

"No, please... Daddy!"

"I see what you're doing. It's always the same with you, you're only after one thing. [...] You don't have to lie. Go ahead. Say it. Or you could just force me, like he always did. You disgusting pig! I hate you! I hate you..."

"You see it too? For me, it's always like this."
