BioShock 2

"Gracie's room is just up ahead. Now, she's been sendin' all manner o' unkindness your way, so I'm not particular as to ‘’how’’ you take that key away from her... But she's old, an' this grudge against you was based on a misunderstandin'."

"[after the player is offered a choice to either kill or spare Grace] Your call, friend. Gracie's unarmed, for what it's worth."

"Kid? Come on, wake up now... There you are — I thought you rode that torpedo into the great hereafter! I'm in Dionysus Park now... train car's a shambles, leakin' air. Whole damn place is flooded and sealed. But there's a pumpin' station back there in Siren Alley — an' I believe you could jerry-rig it to drain the park out. That'll letcha stroll right inside. Get to those pumps... and hurry."

"Mother o' mercy, I think that was Simon Wales. What's he done to himself? He and his brother were Rapture's architects, but when Doc Lamb came along, Simon got religion. He's got a... Kinda church down in the pumping station. Expect a reckoning when you arrive."

"The Pearl was among the ritziest lodgings in Rapture, but durin' the war the residents put themselves up for sale... Daniel's office is on the top floor, I believe."

"Dionysus Park was owned by Sofia Lamb, chief. Sort of a private retreat for her social experiments. One night it flooded — killin' all her guests. Papers said it was "cult-related". Come on up to the train station, let's rendezvous."

"Well, the good news is, I've located a new train car. But the Station's still locked down, an' we're not alone in here..."

"[about Stanley Poole] Well, I'd say "he's hidin' somethin'" — but he sort o' took the fun outta that one. He's locked in the security booth, however — so we'll have to play along. Find those Sisters."

"When all this is over, an' we're divvyin' up Rapture's bounty, you an' I will be holdin' court on a private island, son. Think of it — each world power on bended knee, holding a bouquet made o' money!"

"This is it, chief... End of the line. If I'm right, Eleanor's momma's usin' ADAM to force all of Rapture's minds an' memories into the poor girl... Lamb reckons it'll make that child a saint. Now, Eleanor's in a deep dark place beneath Fontaine Headquarters... And to keep you alive, we need to sneak in an' find her."

"Hmmm... Gil Alexander... As I recall he was involved in Big Daddy development from the beginning. Likely had something to do with you an' Eleanor, son."

"Alex the Great?! Oh hell, that has to be Gil Alexander, same man who left that message we’re followin'. He sounds mad as a March hare now."

"As I recall from my time doing business with the owners... That Oxy-Fill station out there’s just a front for a kinda hidden passage leadin' down below. If Lamb’s hidin' Eleanor from ya, that’s where she'll be."

"[regarding the insane Alpha Series Big Daddies] Poor things — what a life. Marchin' around playin' Daddy until some Splicer manages to kill off their Sister... And then if the coma doesn't take 'em, they turn maniac... Nothin' left to do but scream. Uh, no offense intended son. We better get you to Eleanor on the double."

"Rebirth, hunh? Sure, you live forever, but minus your body. I like my body, kid. I don't feature the idea of my memories an' personality bein' stored in the head of some saintly child... Like just one more dusty ol' book in the library..."

"Persephone... we're finally here. Find Eleanor, son — and fast. Her momma's got all Rapture dyin' to keep you two apart..."

"That's her, son! Eleanor Lamb. No matter what you may be feelin' right now — this is business. Get that cage open — she's comin' with us!"

"[after being turned into Subject Omega] Kid... Lamb's in my head... I can't help myself... Have to fight just to talk... Left me my goddamn tongue to torture the bomb codes out of me... She wants me to stop you leavin'... I... I'm sorry..."

"Kid... I'm sorry... I've... I've locked you in here... Lamb's makin' me dance on her goddamn strings... I can't stop... you're going to have to break in here an'... An' put me down. Wish there was... Another way... But I'd rather die a man than live like this..."

"Son... I built this place, an' I did rent you out to those Plasmid Trials at Fontaine... An' now now I'm paying for it. Wish I had time to make amends... I — take the lifeboat, it's all yours, just don't leave me like this..."

"When you... When you do me in, kid... Don't blame yourself... I won't be able to stop from tryin' to gun ya down... But it helps to know that you'll stick it to Lamb after... An'... An' let young Eleanor see the sun..."

"[last words] So long... Kid... [coughs] Thank you..."

"I remember you, Monster. You stole Eleanor from me... Twisted that baby girl into a thing so sick it can't even die... And now you come swanning into my neighborhood looking for me? Wrong turn, Tin Daddy. When we hang you from a streetlight, and you're choking out your last... I want you to remember my face."

"Family! That Monster has taken another of our babies for its own. Tin Daddy's hollow like a jail-cell that needs filling, and he will never let her go unless you put him down!"

"The Monster has taken another of our children, Family! It would turn her from us, just as he did to Eleanor! Show this thing what befalls the boogeyman that would sneak into our garden!"

"Eleanor's grown now, Baby-snatcher, even after what you did to her. Dr. Lamb found a way to shape that girl into something perfect, somethin' holy, she's a daughter to us all. Nobody in Rapture will shelter you now."

"The Tin Daddy is not a man — it is half dog and half devil, made by Ryan to condemn our children to walking death!"

"The Baby-snatcher's headin’ up into the hotel, Family. He wants me so that he can get to Eleanor. Tin Daddy feels no guilt, Tin Daddy feels no pain, but we are the family and we can teach him how!"

"Watch'n you hurt shouldn't give me such a lift. But I'm not as clean on the inside as the Doctor. I take my joy when I can."

"Blood divides us, Monster. It's blood that makes us strangers. But thanks to Dr. Lamb, we're all family now. One people, one cause, you can stop this heart, bleed this old body, but you cannot end the Family. And as for you, Tin Daddy, you're dying alone."

"We both die tonight, Monster. I, because your kind has killin' in its nature, and you, because there's no way the Family will let you stroll out alive with that key."

"I know what you're here for. Go on take it... I won't have you touchin' me. Dr. Lamb trusted me to care of her child... And I tried... But Baby Eleanor disappeared. And then one day, I see her walking with you... Lookin' wrong... And when I tried to hold her, you knocked me down, broke my jaw. So I'm ready, baby-snatcher. Come on in and finish the job."

"[Note: the following quotes are spoken if the player chooses to spare her]"

"To hell with you then! Go on!"

"You had me under a gun... Yet you just walk away? No monster alive turns the other cheek. No monster does that. A thinkin’ man does that..."

"I know that Doctor Lamb is no liar, but she's got to be wrong about you. It doesn't seem right now, letting you walk into that bush whack waiting outside. I can't call off the Family, but I can whisper a bit and improve your odds."

"Well, sir — I don't know what to call you now. You've done more than just spare my life, you've opened by eyes. I need to put a few questions to Doctor Lamb."

"I've got the maddening notion that I owe you my life, stranger... Such as it is. I'm sending you a care package to the Pneumo along the way. I'd appreciate it if you didn't tell Doctor Lamb."

"Hear me, O ye who would murder the Lamb of God! Ye shall never reach her garden! [blows up train with a torpedo]"

"The Beast of Ryan lives! Gather the Family!"

"Know this, Beast... Daniel's body may go cold... But his soul rests with the child of the Lamb. You shall roast and blacken in the pit, and it'll be a grieving brother sends you there..."

"Your sin itself marches to meet you, Beast — and its name is Legion!"

"Eleanor Lamb is our salvation, demon... You shall not rob us of our final reward!"

"But the Beast is upon us, children. It wears a hide of iron, and its hands are Death and Change. It would seize the Child from us, and with her, Paradise itself! Be ye soldier of the ground, or angel of the sky, ye must stand fast… and send it howling back to hell!"

"Well, hello, boys! The name's Stan Poole — Rapture Tribune. Quality paper... Before the locals stopped readin' and started findin' uh... Other uses for it... Anyways, I'm looking to cut a deal here, fellas. Come by the train station, I'm here in the booth."

"Now that — see: Lamb knows you're here, but I'm incognito. Thing is, since you've drained out the Park, the Little Sisters are already startin' to, uh, nose around, lookin' for ADAM. And, uh, heh... I can't have that."

"Okay. So, dead men tell no tales, right? Wrong. See, with ADAM involved, every stiff's got a story — and Lamb knows how to read it. If that stuff makes it back to her, I'm an obituary. So I want you to take the story of Dionysus Park... And bury it. Get rid of the Little Sisters for me... your way. Do that, and I'll unlock the station here. Scout's honor."

"[after the player either saves or harvests the first Little Sister in Dionysus Park] "Subject Delta"'s just a serial number, amigo. I did a lot of diggin' on you for a feature once. They used to call you "Johnny Topside" — found the city all on your own in a divin' bell... real shame what they did to ya."

"[after saving or harvesting the second Little Sister in Dionysus Park] Now, you were just a deep sea explorer with iron cojones, pal... the public gave ya the nickname. But Ryan was sure you were a spook. So his people locked you up... erased your damn name! Goodbye Johnny Topside – hello Subject Delta."

"[after saving or harvesting the last Little Sister in the level] That's it! Now all that old dirt stays underground, and Lamb'll be none the wiser! Hey, come on back. I've unlocked the train for ya! But remember, if Lamb catches ya, mum's the word."
