Death Stranding quotes:
To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.
— William Blake, Auguries of Innocence
Episode 1: Bridget
Bridget: Time's running out. Help Amelie. She needs you. Together, you can help us reconnect. You can make America whole. Sam, if we don't all come together again, humanity will not survive.
Sam: We don't need a country. Not any more.
Bridget: We do! Alone we have no future!
Sam: No, America's finished. Bridget, you're the president of jack shit.
Sam: We don't need a country. Not any more.
Bridget: We do! Alone we have no future!
Sam: No, America's finished. Bridget, you're the president of jack shit.
Episode 2: Amelie
Sam: I'm Sam Porter Bridges now. I'm not a Strand. Hell, I'm not even a part of this outfit. You all saw to that. I'm not getting involved with you or anyone else, ever again.
Amelie: Wait!
[Sam passes through Amelie's hologram]
Sam: See? It's like I'm not even here. Same as it ever was.
Die-Hardman: Sam! Sam!
[Sam storms out of the Oval Office; Die-Hardman follows]
Die-Hardman: Hold on, stop! Listen to me. America needs you. Both of you.
Sam: Yeah? Covering the world in cable didn't bring an end to war and suffering. Don't act surprised when it all comes apart if you try to do it again! Round and round it goes; connect, reconnect — it's not that simple!
Die-Hardman: Alright, alright, Sam. Just take it easy. I get it. You don't have to commit to anything now.
Amelie: Wait!
[Sam passes through Amelie's hologram]
Sam: See? It's like I'm not even here. Same as it ever was.
Die-Hardman: Sam! Sam!
[Sam storms out of the Oval Office; Die-Hardman follows]
Die-Hardman: Hold on, stop! Listen to me. America needs you. Both of you.

Higgs: You see, I've come to understand the truth of the Death Stranding... [sigh] There's so much you people don't know. The girl, for instance — she's not like you or me. DOOMS ain't her thing. She's more into destruction on a worldwide scale. An Extinction Entity. [sigh] Oh, it's so hard to form connections when you can't shake hands. Fortunately, I've got a good connection to the other side... Now you? You're no bridge. But me? I'm bound to all of it. This world, that world, and our sweet little angel of death...
[Higgs extends chiral strands into the earth, summoning an enormous monster from the Other Side]
Higgs: [laughs] You're on the menu! All it'll take is one itty-bitty voidout to blow us all to kingdom come. So how 'bout it? Aren't you gettin' tired of the grind? Isn't this what you've been waiting for this whole time? A game over?
