32-->-- '''Sundowner'''
33

43
44->"[[ChildSoldier You aren't the only one to grow up on the killing fields]]. War is a cruel parent, but an effective teacher. Its final lesson is carved deep in my psyche: [[StrawNihilist that this world, and all of its people, are diseased. Free will is a myth. Religion is a joke. We are all pawns, controlled by something greater: Memes, the DNA of the soul.]] They shape our will. They are the culture. They are everything we pass on. [[TeachHimAnger Expose someone to anger long enough, they will learn to hate.]] They become a carrier. Envy, greed, despair: all memes, all passed on. You can't fight nature, Jack. Wind blows, rain falls, and [[TheSocialDarwinist the strong prey upon the weak]]. Sam tells me you see your weapon as a "tool": something that saves lives, a means of justice. Now, there's a pretty meme! ''Exquisite''! [[NeverMyFault It spared you the burden of all the lives you've taken, absolved you of guilt when you enjoyed it.]] That is, until the illusion was broken. Don't be ashamed. It's only nature running its course. You have no choices to make. Nothing to answer for. You can die with a clear conscience."
45-->-- '''Monsoon [[BreakThemByTalking throwing Raiden's philosophy back in his face]]'''
46
47->'''Raiden''': You're right… about me, I mean. I knew something was… off. After the Patriots, I thought I could walk off the battlefield and into a normal life… but here I am, surrounded by death, arguing philosophy with terrorists. I told myself this was about justice, about protecting the weak… [[HeelRealization but I was wrong.]]\
48'''Monsoon''': Then you admit it?\
49'''Raiden''': [[ChildSoldier I learned young that killing your enemies felt good.]] '''Really good.''' In America, my friends, my family… they helped me forget the devil inside… but who am I kidding? I was '''born''' to kill! The bit about my sword, that "means of justice" stuff? [[AxCrazy I guess I needed something to keep "the Ripper" in check when I was knee-deep in bodies…]]\
50'''Monsoon''': You…\
51'''Raiden''': But you… all this… is a wake-up call to what I really believe… what I really am.\
52'''Monsoon''': [[OhCrap What are you saying?]]\

Anyway, none of this will matter in three hours. Demand for PMC's is about to skyrocket. [[UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror Like the good ol' days after 9/11!]]"

77'''Raiden''': At some cushy Ivy League school.\
78'''[[spoiler:Armstrong]]''': Try University of Texas. Coulda gone pro if I hadn't joined the Navy. I'm not one of those beltway pansies. I could break the president in two with my ''bare hands!'' DON'T [[PrecisionFStrike FUCK]] WITH ''THIS'' [[spoiler:SENATOR]]!
79-->-- '''[[spoiler:Senator Steven Armstrong]] and Raiden after [[spoiler:Armstrong powers up his nanomachines]]'''

81->"You're right about one thing. I ''do'' need capital. ''And'' votes. Wanna know why? '[[UsefulNotes/MartinLutherKingJr I have a dream]].' That one day every person in this nation will control their ''own'' destiny. A land of the ''truly'' free, dammit. [[TheSocialDarwinist A nation of]] ''[[TheSocialDarwinist action]]'', [[TheSocialDarwinist not words! Ruled by]] ''[[TheSocialDarwinist strength]]'', [[TheSocialDarwinist not committee! Where the law changes to suit the individual,]] ''[[TheSocialDarwinist not]]'' [[TheSocialDarwinist the other way around. Where power and justice are back where they belong: in the]] ''[[TheSocialDarwinist hands of the people!]]'' [[TheSocialDarwinist Where every man is free to think - to]] ''[[TheSocialDarwinist act]]'' [[TheSocialDarwinist - for himself]]! [[SirSwearsALot Fuck all these limp-dick lawyers and chickenshit bureaucrats]]. Fuck this 24/7 Internet spew of trivia and celebrity bullshit! ''Fuck 'American pride'! Fuck the media!'' ''FUCK ALL OF IT!'' America is diseased. Rotten to the core. There's no saving it - we need to pull it out by the roots. Wipe the slate clean. BURN IT ''DOWN!'' And from the ashes, a new America will be born. Evolved, but ''untamed!'' The weak will be purged and the strongest will thrive - free to live as they see fit, they'll [[OlderThanTheyThink make America]] ''[[Creator/RonaldReagan great again]]!'' In my ''new'' America, people will die and kill for what they ''BELIEVE''! Not for money, not for oil! Not for what they're told is right. Every man will be free to fight his ''own'' wars!"
82-->-- '''[[spoiler:Senator Steven Armstrong]]'''
83

86
87->"Maybe I ''was'' wrong about you... I was wrong. You're not greedy [=--=] '''''[[BaitAndSwitch you're]] [[PrecisionFStrike bat-shit]] [[YoureInsane insane!]]'''''

91-->-- '''[[spoiler:Senator Steven Armstrong]] to Raiden'''

94-->-- '''Raiden [[spoiler:before using Sam's Murasama to fight [[FinalBoss Senator Armstrong]] after [[HoistByHisOwnPetard his own sword is broken by Armstrong]].]]'''
95
96->''"I owe you for that speech you wrote. It did wonders for my approval ratings! You understand what matters. [[GullibleLemmings Filters, information control]], none of that matters anymore. People these days don't care about what's right or wrong. [[VillainWithGoodPublicity It’s all about the spin, how well you can shift blame to the other guy.]] People these days only see what they want to see. Don't tell me you’re still on about that grand jury nonsense. They've got nothing that connects me to Desperado. [[BreadAndCircuses Besides, the average Joe doesn’t give a shit, either way. People these days think money is the solution to all their problems.]] We need to bring back the greatness of good old America! Reclaim the American Dream! To do that, we need to make sacrifices. [[TakeThat That's what those pansies in the so-called Tea Party don't seem to realize.]] This is a revolution, my friend. We are the true [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2SonsOfLiberty Sons of Liberty]]! Anyway, I gotta run. We'll talk soon."''
97-->-- '''Senator Steven Armstrong''', '''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeX55kZH9yE in a leaked conversation]].'''
