"Hey! Sarif-Man!"

"Oh my God, JC! A bomb!"

"One thing the Air Force never understood: I'm dependable. No matter what, I'm dependable."

"Don't underestimate the allure of a well kept secret. Our organisation lasted from the Crusades to the early 21st century, and our only secret was a technique of meditation, a way of imagining your body dissolving into light."

"What am I? A bum? You think I'm gonna drink anything you find lying around?"

"Listen to your brother, JC. Respect his experience. Let's leave it at that."

"All the way down, JC. Get to Page's compound and take him out. Everett and I will join you shortly. We'll bring back the old institutions, the prosperity of the last century, the giddy acquiescence. Trust us, JC. We can put the world back together."

"Area 51. You heard of it, right?"

"[if the player attacks him once] Someone should knock you upside the head a few times, punk. Dismissed."

"There's a time and a place for security, but the legislature has to stay vigilant, or there will be abuses."

"Let's get one thing straight: we've got our share of crooked bureaucrats -- fact -- but this is still UNATCO, and by and large the people in this building are twenty-four carat gold."

"I have never had this much difficulty with a trainee in my life."

"The order hasn't so much lasted as been continually revived...It's the IDEA that has lasted. The SYSTEM. Or the DESIRE, every thinking person's desire to give the world some decent organization."

"Just fixed Gunther's knee, in fact. A sticky actuator. So far I feel more like a mechanic than a doctor."

"My unit killed a bunch of Afghans one time, but we weren't proud of it. In fact, our liaison at the UN went to the funeral."

"Direct intervention is always part of the game. In my day, we were just more civilized about it."

"All this blood has ruined my chrome."

"I guess it's not surprising to find a few crooks in a place protected by security procedures. The shadow of secrecy; it protects indiscriminately."

"A pistol is more than adequate. Hell, I dispatched a whole platoon one time with a pocket knife."

"Pain is no longer something I can feel."

"[after killing JC] Nine-hundred and ten. I am catching up, Gunther."

"Try to remember: people have rights. Don't just shoot everything that moves."

"I now have full access to your systems."

"In order to get our own message before the public, we too have been violent. We have even killed people. But it is the message -- the communication event -- that we target, not a few human beings, or a building, or an historical landmark."

"I'll make you a deal. Leave now and you will be made comfortable under the new world order."

"This war all around us is being fought over the very meanings of words."

"Observe your motivations for breaking the arbitrary laws of the current government. Do not miss your chance to be one of us and create the new world order."

"You will find no one to help you here. Beth DuClare has been dissected and placed in cryonic storage."

"I am ready. Attack my systems and you will suffer considerable losses."

"A corpse: yes. You feel something. I must know what you are feeling."

"The human being created civilization not because of willingness but of a need to be assimilated into higher orders of structure and meaning."
