BioShock

"Hm, my nerves must be shot. Florida, make me a hot toddy."

"Juliet Landau – Little Sisters"

"[to the tune of Frere Jaques] Mr. Bubbles, Mr. Bubbles, are you there? Are you there? Come and give me lollies, come and bring me toffees. Teddy bears… teddy bears."

"Things were supposed to work out for me, down here...! RYAN! When's my turn, you son of a bitch?!"

"What I was trying to do with BioShock was to say, ‘Okay, well, [in Atlas Shrugged] that’s a utopia where Ayn Rand, who made the philosophy, made all the rules, and all the characters were under her control. What if things weren’t under everybody’s control?’ And I think that’s the problem with utopias — we bring ourselves to it, you know? We think we’re leaving our problems behind but – I don’t mean this in a cynical way – we are the problem. Like whatever social problems that occur come out of us. It’s not like they fall out of the sky. I think people think they’re going to go to a utopian society, and I think it’s not really possible."

"Susanne Blakeslee – Prof. Julie Langford"

"Ah, look at you. You look just the same as those... [remorseful] Ah, what things we have done... What things."

"This little Sea Slug has come along and glued together all the crazy ideas I've had since the war… it doesn't just heal damaged cells, it… resurrects them… I can bend the double helix… black can be reborn white, tall, short, weak, strong…"

"What's that, fella'? You think I'm prettier than Garbo, huh? Well…"

"I know you're here! And I'm itching for a fight."

"Can't somebody clean this place up? Scrub it down! It's crawling, crawling!"

"You're crawling! You're sick!"

"Karl Hanover – Atlas"

"Peter Francis James – Dr. J.S. Steinman"

"[after player takes the first dose of Lot 192] Yes! The compound is taking hold. The effects of the mental suggestion are now gone, but there will certainly be side effects. [the player's Plasmids start changing randomly] Lot 192 has reorganized your entire Plasmid structure. I should have known you would need a larger dosage. You'll have to locate another dosage to fully remove the effects."

"You see the suit control system? Sehr gut. Get it. That is step one of turning you into one of those disgusting Big Daddies. The only way to get through that door Fontaine went through is to have a little one open it for you. Und they'll only trust you if you look like, sound like, und even smell like one of those big, stinking brutes."

"[If player has harvested every Little Sister] They offered you everything, yes. And in return you gave them what I have come to expect of you: brutality! You took what you wanted, all the ADAM, all the power! And Rapture trembled, but in the end even Rapture was not enough for you! Your father was terrified the world would try to steal the secrets of his city! But not you, for now have stolen the terrible secrets of the world!"

"I was at German prison camp only of sixteen years old when I realize I have love for science. German doctor, he make experiment. Sometime, he make scientific error. I tell him of this error, and this make him angry. But then he asks, "How can a child know such a thing?" I tell him, "Sometimes, I just know." He screams at me, "Then why tell me?" "Well," I said, "if you're going to do such things, at least you should do them properly.""

"You ungrateful bastard! He offered you salvation, and you shit on him!"

"Closed the theater? Why? Because there's a war on? Bastards!"

"It's my part! Mine!"

"All I wanna do is meet someone... but this fucking place is poison."

"Go and run! That's all your time is good for!"

"I- I try to help, but- sometimes I- I make mistakes... I try to help! But sometimes I- I make mistakes."

"When is a fever not a fever…? When I say it isn't!"

"Toxic! Septic! UNSANITARY!"

"Armin Shimerman – Andrew Ryan"

"Greg Baldwin – Frank Fontaine"

"Anne Bobby – Brigid Tenenbaum"

"T. Ryder Smith - Sander Cohen"

"Welcome back, child. Welcome to the city where you were born. You are angry at Fontaine, yes? Now you know the truth. You are his tool, brought back to Rapture to save him."

"While you sleep, I undo some of Fontaine's mental conditioning. His control is no longer complete, but he can still pull some very unpleasant strings. We made your mind with many locks und keys. Fontaine has most of those keys, but not all. Suchong designed your mind, taught Fontaine to control you. You might find answers in Suchong's flat in Mercury Suites."

"[about Fontaine] What is this you wait for? Go und get this idiot!"

"[after Fontaine escapes] Scheisse! You let him get away! I need a moment for thinking. Ah! Ach, of course! This will be no problem. Find a Big Daddy und search his body. I would suggest you to be finding a dead one."

"It would mean very much to me if you will be gentle with the girls. Mein kleines maedchen."

"[about the cured Little Sisters] Ach, look at them. Even though they are physically free of the need to gather, Suchong's mental conditioning still holds them to their terrible task. For sins such as this we can never atone."

"[If player has harvested at least one Little Sister] They offered you everything, yes? And in return you gave them what you always did... brutality. You took what you wanted — all the ADAM, all the power — and Rapture trembled. But in the end even Rapture was not enough for you. Your father was terrified that the world would try to steal the secrets of his city. For you now have stolen the terrible secrets of the world."

"[If player has saved every Little Sister] They offered you the city... And you refused it. And what did you do instead? What I have come to expect of you: You saved them. You gave them the one thing that was stolen from them: A chance. A chance to learn, to find love, to live. And in the end what was your reward? You never said, but I think I know... A family."

"I traded You, oh Lord, for Mammon, and what did it get me, huh?!"

"He died for you, for YOU, you SON OF A BITCH!""

"Where is he Madonna? Where is the little sinner?"

"Run, run to your devil! I'm sure HE will help you!"

"She was up for the part as well, but then they found her in a salt pond."

"Who needs to make it on Broadway theatre|Broadway? When you can make it here."

"You gotta be rich, down here, to meet a lady. They don't care how nice you are."

"The lies, the money... the lies, The money..."

"You call that tenderloin? If you serve that in any respectable hotel in New York, they'd laugh you out of town!"

"You know what they do to vagrants in Rapture? They hang them!"

"Nothing there, but we should bring in the hounds from the stables, just the same."

"Made Ryan good and mad when I started playing the charity angle. Fontaine's Home for the Poor. 'Fore I knew it, I was calling myself Atlas and leading an army. Ryan and his precious Rapture. You don't have to build a city to make people worship you... Just make the chumps believe they're worth a nickel."
