Jade Empire

"[to Sun Li]: You were a great teacher. It is a shame that your skill was wasted on evil ambition."

"[to Captain Sen, before Aishi the Mournful Blade kills him] If I help you, you'll only tell the others what I've done. I have to let you go."

"[CF player about Gao the Lesser] Empty threats. Let him argue with the worms."

"[going CF] I should... I should fight more. I should spit more. I should slap the princess in her smirking face, and I should... I should...I should look at you without fear of what might happen, because if I grow to need you and if you *leave*, ancestors help me, you will regret it."

"Sometimes all you will learn in defeat is that you have been defeated."

"Your abilities have grown immensely. But it also does my heart good to see that you remember the basics of what I taught... even the flaws!"

"[on Death's Hand]: You know who he is, but what he is defies you, defies your skill. He is more than Sun Kin ever was."

"[last words] You surprise me yet again. I'm a better teacher... than I thought..."

"[At the end of the credits] Once, when you were a child, you fell from a great height and cut your head clean off. I told you to walk it off, because, the cut was clean. And then you could punch a mountain... from space!"

"Oh dear. This will be unpleasant for someone."

"I have little use for morals, but honor?"

"It would be a great inconvenience if we were all suddenly slaughtered."

"Your best is not always enough. That's why it is used as a comforter after failure. "You tried your best, but death consumed the nation anyway. Sorry.""

"[last words] I wasn't looking for victory... just a few seconds..."

"I have moved with you, hidden, trying to keep focus. I give you all that I am, all that I was. Restore what has been corrupted."

"My fill? I have been sated from battle, but never filled!"

"If there is no wine, there should be fighting!"

"[When the Whirlwind is killing Lotus Assassins atop the Temple of Dirge, a voice sounds every 20 kills, possibly that of a god... or just in his own head]"

"Hahaha! Come to my axes! All of you!"

"That racket is distracting me from the cries of my enemies. Sky better have a good reason for ringing that bell."

"[upon entering the Lotus Assassin's fortress] These Lotus Assassins really aren't all that tough; they're just trained well. I've seen men a lot tougher than this run scared from a fight, but not these guys. They're like well-trained dogs, and just as dangerous... though they smell slightly better, and I'm willing to bet they wouldn't taste as good over a plate of rice. Damn it, now I'm getting hungry... and thirsty. Let's get this finished so I can get something to drink."

"So we serve Gang until we find the information we need? I'd rather fight the golem army. That would draw out their leaders, whether Death's Hand or the Emperor."

"[to the Overzealous Lotus Acolytes] You look to be worth about a silver and a half. What do we need to prove to you?"

"[Acolyte threatens] A foolish, foolish mistake. You have no idea."

"[reaction to Master Gang] He thinks it's too tough, but impossible odds make the best fights."

"[after Master Gang uses the word "machinations"] He thinks we will die. That means there will be fighting. I like him."

"[Inside the Imperial Palace]I always figured if I saw the Emperor it would be for my own execution. 'Course, the day's still young."

"[after Master Gang uses the word "machinations"] He uses big words, but he seems small. He lets others fight for him."

"The Guardian says for me to be cheerful, and to not repeat what he says all the... oh."

"[to the overzealous Lotus Acolytes] Bullies will meet the Guardian... or worse."

"I think Mister Gang is a jerk."

"What do you want? I owe you a great deal for freeing me. This body should serve well... as long as it lasts. Your mortal fates are such interesting things. Such amusing toys. But if you get what you seek here, and your ambition is realized... remember a faithful servant. Ha! And if you fail... well, then I'll have your soul to toy with, anyway, as with this girl."

"[at the sight of the cut open Water Dragon] I marvel at the mind that came up with this. To cast his gaze so far above his station to his own makers is... admirable."

"The time has come, mortal! I won't share this body any longer. I'll destroy you, Chai Ka, and this girl if I have to!"

"[battle with Chai Ka inside Wild Flower's mind] Grr... he presumes to trap us, too. He is too strong to fight alone, but you can use the strength of your followers. What else are they good for?"

"[If the player sides with Chai Ka] You think your treachery will kill me, mortal?! As long as the corruption exists in this world, I will endure. Now die, along with this stupid girl!"

"[pre Dirge battle]I don't like these odds, but death is not as final for me as it is for you, so what do I care?"

"I am Kang the Mad. I make things explode, and I make things fly, and I'm very good at both. The things I fly tend to survive. The things I explode... not so much."

"You handled the guards well, with your punching and kicking. I was going to make more of an explody thing, but the kicking worked well, too."

"Next time I hide something, I'm packing explosives around it. Explosives shaped like silver bananas! Stops thieves, monkeys and monkey thieves in one fell swoop."

"The things I fly tend to survive. The things I explode...not so much."

"If you stage a combat related accident for Gao, like say, falling down a flight of punches, I'll replace the inductors on the Dragonfly and we can fly away!"

"You are sure to profit from this partnership. In fact, I've never accidentally exploded anyone traveling *with* me, so that alone is a benefit of my presence."

"Interruptions... who designed that Dragonfly... build something to make his sandals explode..."

"Well, it's much like the dilemma of the centipede. If he relaxes and lets things happen, he can walk naturally all day long, his hundred legs not missing a step. But, if he thinks too hard about the complexity of what he's doing, those legs might crash into the teahouse and kill everyone. A valuable lesson."

"That was astonishing! I haven't seen such martial skills in an eatery since the last time I added ginger to my wife's hot and sour soup!"

"It would seem we have our work cut out for us. But as my darling wife likes to say, when things are tough... quit your whining and get to work."

"As I mentioned, I am but a simple bun master, with a dear wife who has turned my life into a miserable cesspool devoid of humor and excitement. Bless her soul."

"Life is not all bad though. I may have lost all my dignity and self-respect, along with my ability to fight or even make a tight fist, but I am a bun master of some renown."

"[to Kai Lan the Serpent, suggesting that Black Whirlwind fight him in his or her stead] There have been other substitutions. Mine won't be the first."
