History Quotes / BlackLagoon

->"There’s a noose that hangs at the entrance to [[ViceCity the city]]. It’s a message to be read by all who encounter it. For the cautious, the sane, it’s a warning. For the reckless, the wild at heart, an invitation they cannot refuse. The worst of the criminal underworld gather here. They come here from across the world to butt heads and jostle for power. An evil city caught between the east and the west founded during the UsefulNotes/ColdWar and nurtured by many who came here to ride the wave of the illegal drug trade sweeping across the continent. The edge of the world, the crucible of hypocrisy, a place where those whose souls have been destroyed in the relentless search for money and power reside. A final stop on the way to hell. How have [[ActionSurvivor I]] managed to stay alive this long? With the help of three people: [[BaldBlackLeaderGuy Dutch]], [[DarkActionGirl Revy]] and [[MissionControl Benny]]. Also known as the Lagoon Company. The name of this city is spoken of among the villains of the world. Many who come here to make a name for themselves are swallowed by the darkness, never to return. A cruel fate awaits any half-assed small time crook who accidentally stumbles into Roanapur. Right now [[MsFanservice another]] [[SacrificialLamb sacrificial lamb]] has [[YankTheDogsChain wandered too far from home]]. The city awaits."

->"It's been 35 years... since this rotten harbor town became a den of vice. Roanapur has managed to stay out of CNN's evening news or the dinner topic of housewives only because... from the past to the present, the motives of those who've gathered here have always been... consistent. That is, it's in our mutual interest... to lead the public eye away from our more stimulating businesses, for the peace of mind of those who are crooked... Please remember this. If we continue suspecting each other, continue pursuing our own self-interests... who do you think will be left standing in the ring in the end? There won't be anybody there, ladies and gentlemen. Not you, not me... Not even the ring itself."

->'''[[NunTooHoly Sister Eda:]]''' What the hell is your problem? Don't you remember what {{Jesus}} said in [[Literature/TheBible Luke 11]]? "Don't trouble me. The door is locked." Got that? Bitch.\\

->'''Balalaika:''' And Two-Hands... I have something to say to you. [[HannibalLecture I don't know what's going on in that head of yours, but it will only bring you disappointment if you hope to have a life like his.]]

->'''Revy:''' So that's how you look at it, huh? I see. Well since we're here... I've got a story that's perfect for this sort of atmosphere. I'm gonna do you a favour and let you in on a little secret, Rock. Okay? Let me ask you something. See this? And this? What would you say these two things are?

Things are gonna pick up again tomorrow, Rock. Oh and from here on I think you'd be wise not to risk your life on stupid games. ''(tosses keys in his lap)'' [[AffablyEvil Park the car somewhere, will you?]] Thanks.

->'''Revy:''' If I was looking for pity I would've told you something a lot more colourful. The moral of the story is when you're livin' on the edge, that's all that matters to you because that's all you've really got. Not everyone can get off being normal, Rock. And one more thing... All those rich fat bastards living under palm-trees - and bitches who think that life's only about putting on make-up. I don't want to hear you speaking your mind from the same perspective as those ''hypocrites''. Nothing's worse than being treated like some whore by your companions. I'll say this once. The next time you decide you're gonna tell me what's proper, you'll no longer be one of us. When that happens... I am going to kill you.
