Patrick: First off: my name's not, 'Rick.' Secondly: I don't know what Frenchy told you, but you need to shut up. Go take that directory-
Doodle Patrick: Dictionary.
Patrick: Take that dictionary and give yourself a paper cut.
Doodle Patrick: But I'm made of paper-
Patrick: SHUT UP! And C, I know that at some point, I wasn't a friend to SpongeBob. I was a bully, and now I'm a friend with many regrets. No amount of acceptance will relieve my guilt for the poor guy. The last thing I need is for an idiot like you to hammer it in! If there's one thing I hear a lot, it's that I'm some big dummy. I'd rather be stupid than be a Smartypants like you so my life isn't a constant tragedy. We're both alike, y'know?
Doodle Patrick: Surely not-
Patrick: We failed as best friends, and no matter how hard we try, it just isn't good enough, is it?
Doodle Patrick: I say-
Patrick: Unlike you though, I would never lay a finger on SpongeBob! What kind of friend are you if you don't trust each other?

Majd Addin: I killed them because I could! Because it was fun! Do you know what it feels like to determine another man's fate? And did you see the way the people cheered? The way they feared me? I was like a god! You'd have done the same if you could! Such power...
Altaïr: Once, perhaps, but then I learned what becomes of those who lift themselves above others.
Majd Addin: And what is that?
Altaïr: Here, let me show you. (stabs Majd in the neck with the Hidden Blade, killing him)

Lucia Márquez: My father saw such potential in these islands. Gold... industry... freedom... all of it squandered. You have not a clue how to use it. He could have brought you wealth.
OpÃa Apito: You believe we wasted freedom by living freely? You die a prisoner of your Templar mores.

Astro: Enough, Atlas! I have a very important mission I have to accomplish! I fight for a future of peace between humanity and robots!
Atlas: Ha ha ha. You imagine a dreamworld. One that will never exist. First of all, that's not what you were built for. Do you know what your true purpose in life was for, Astro? You were created as a replacement for Dr. Tenma's late son, Tobio. You're just a fake created to help him forget his loss! But he couldn't truly love a robot as a replacement for his son. So he abandoned you.
Astro: He didn't abandon me!
Atlas: What?
Astro: I finally realized it. My father, Dr. Tenma, let me go to test me! It's because he believes in me! Atlas, you are nothing but my shadow! And I will defeat you! You've been drowning in your own sorrow for far too long to be rescued. I shall defeat you, my dark shadow!
Atlas: ASTRO!
Astro: He didn't abandon me!

Atlas: ASTRO!
Chakravartin: You have exceeded my expectations; I praise you. You are indeed the one to inherit this world; Gaea must be led by one of its own. I may now leave this world and save other worlds in need of my guidance. Come, and join your daughter. I am counting on you.
Asura: (punches him in the face) I refuse!
Chakravartin: ...how dare you defy me?!
Asura: I will destroy you AND YOUR SO-CALLED WORLD!
Asura: (punches him in the face) I refuse!
Chakravartin: ...how dare you defy me?!

The Joker: All this... all this rage. All directed at me, and for what?! You know, if you'd actually let me finish a sentence, you might learn something. You might learn that we're not so different. You might even learn something about yourself.
Batman: You need to learn to shut up.
Batman: You need to learn to shut up.
Rakshas: You slimy little elf! So you have joined hands with these humans, have you? Very well, both of you shall soon be dead!
Eryssa: Good luck, you monster. You are cut off and surrounded. We shall kill you and feed your carcass to the vultures and wild beasts.
Rakshas: Hahahaha! You fools, do you not see that you are right in the heart of orcish territory, surrounded yourselves! Why, at this very moment my entire western army is marching this way. They will soon be here and will scatter your forces like straw!
(Hamel arrives with his forces)
Hamel: Will they, now?
Rakshas: What?!
Hamel: Your western army has been slaughtered, Rakshas, and you will soon join them!
Rakshas: But... but... how can this be?
Hamel: It's called "The End", foul orc. Forward! FOR KNALGA!!
Krash: FOR FRIENDSHIP!!
Ro'Arthian: FOR PEACE!!
Camerin: FOR FUN!

Aesir: To be the Overseer of this world, to rule it... A power only meant for Aesir. Human free will is a joke; it is a worthless illusion. You need only obey me. My will shall become that of the universe!
Balder: Humans need not be told what their will shall be. We can create our world with our own eyes!
Aesir: An indulgent statement of human folly. Do you have any idea how much turmoil and confusion you have created?
Balder: We may not see our next step. We may stumble, we may fall off the path. But we always move forward. That is the power of man! Bayonetta, shall we illustrate?
Bayonetta: Let's rock.

Hazama: Dolls don't have "lives!" They got jack shit!
Makoto: A-A doll?
Hazama: Soul or not, if it was meant to be used by human hands, then it was obviously meant to be used as a tool by humans! I mean, seriously! But wait... I guess that would make beastkin tools too, huh?
Makoto: Shut the hell up! We were never tools, you stupid asshole!

I'll never forget what the Head Monk told me right before I left the Abbey: "Child, you have so much left to learn" he said. I imagine he would have continued speaking, had I not pulled the trigger.

Richter Belmont: Die, monster! You don't belong in this world!
Dracula: It was not by my hands that I am once again given flesh. I was called here by humans who wished to pay me tribute!
Richter Belmont: Tribute!? You steal men's souls, and make them your slaves!
Dracula: Perhaps the same could be said of all religions.
Richter Belmont: Your words are as empty as your soul! Mankind ill-needs a savior such as you!
Dracula: What is a man?! A miserable little pile of secrets! But enough talk, HAVE AT YOU!!!

Richter Belmont: Dracula, die now and leave this world! You'll never belong here!
Dracula: Oh... but this world invited me. Your own kind called me forth with praise and tribute.
Richter Belmont: Tribute?! You're a thief! You steal men's souls, their freedom!
Dracula: Freedom is always sacrificed to faith, good hunter. Or are you truly here by choice?
Richter Belmont: All I'm here for is you. To Hell with your heresy! You're nothing but a blight on mankind!
Dracula: Ha! Mankind. A cesspit of hatred and lies. Fight for them, then, and die for their sins!

Dr. Samuel Hayden: I'm willing to take full responsibility for the horrible events of the last twenty-four hours, but you — must — understand: our interest in their world was purely for the betterment of mankind.
[the Doom Slayer glances down at the butchered corpse of a UAC worker]
Dr. Samuel Hayden: Everything has clearly gotten out of hand now, yes, but it was worth the risk, I assure you.

Rendon Howe: Your parents died on their knees, your brother's corpse rots in Ostagar, and his brat was burned on a scrap heap along with his Antivan whore of a wife. And what's left? A fool husk of a son/daughter likely to end his/her days on rock in the Deep Roads. Even the Wardens are gone. You are the last of nothing. This is pointless. You've lost.

Gold Pig: (to Pink) You could have used your powers to become anything you wanted. Instead, you chose to destroy everything!
Blue Thief: No, it was your greed that ruined everything, Gold Pig! You used your powers to hinder the rest of us. You made us into your slaves!
Gold Pig: ...
Blue Thief: This society suffocated because you always wanted more!
Gold Pig: I saw opportunities... ...to make it better for myself! I made my own wealth. What should I have done??? Give everything away for nothing?!

Elder Maxson: Danse isn't a man, it's a machine. An automaton created by the Institute. It wasn't born from the womb of a loving mother, it was created from the cold confines of a laboratory. Flesh is flesh. Machine is machine. The two were never meant to intertwine. By attempting to play God, the Institute had taken the sanctity of human life and corrupted it beyond measure.
Paladin Danse: After all I've done for the Brotherhood... all the blood I've spilled in our name... how can you say that about me?
Elder Maxson: You're the physical embodiment of what we hate most: technology that's gone. Too. Far. Look around you, Danse. Look at the scorched earth, and the bones that litter the wasteland. Millions, perhaps even billions died because science outpaced man's restraint! They called it "a new frontier" and "pushing the envelope", completely disregarding the repercussions! Can't you see the same thing is happening again?! You're a single bomb in an arsenal of thousands, preparing to lay waste to what's left of mankind.
Sole Survivor: Danse wants to save mankind, not destroy it.
Elder Maxson: You're as delusional as you are insubordinate! How can you trust the words of a machine that thinks it's alive? A machine that had its mind erased, its thoughts programmed, its very soul manufactured! The ethics that it's trying to champion aren't even its own. It was artificially inserted in an attempt to have it blend into society.
Paladin Danse: It's true. I was built within the confines of a laboratory, and some of my memories aren't my own. But when I saw my brothers dying at my feet, I felt sorrow. When I defeated an enemy of the Brotherhood, I felt pride. And when I heard your speech about saving the Commonwealth... I felt hope. Don't you understand? I thought I was human, Arthur. From the moment I was taken in by the Brotherhood, I've done absolutely nothing to betray your trust, and I never will.

Arcade Gannon: You got the survivors of the Enclave back together so you could convince them to help Caesar?! What are you thinking? Do you want to see Vegas turned into the new slave capital of the west?
The Courier: The Legion is better than the alternative.
Arcade Gannon: What?! Caesar is going to enslave or kill everyone in the Mojave. And when that's done, he'll try to destroy the NCR senate and install himself as its new military dictator. I can't comprehend how Caesar could so extensively scramble your sense of morality to make you think the Legion is a better alternative to anything. And you know what? I'm not going to stick around to try to figure it out. At least legionaries have the excuse of being born into it. Have a nice life.

Citra: Jason, why must you leave? You will stop being a warrior, a hero. Your friends, they will move on, have kids and boring lives. Stay here. The jungle will always be there for you, and you will always be king. With them gone, you never have to leave.
Jason: This violence is over. I'm done. No more blood.

Walhart: Why do you resist me, little Prince?
Chrom: You enslave the weak and kill the able. You are the enemy of peace.
Walhart: I would end the reign of the gods, and you object on moral grounds?! Blood is spilled in any new birth, Prince. And in many a just cause, as you know...
Chrom: There is no justification for what you've done.
Walhart: By whose laws do you judge me? Yours? Your sister's? The gods'?
Chrom: You cannot—
Walhart: Look at you! Are you not ashamed? Your mind is filled with nothing but secondhand beliefs. You dance upon the stage of your gods like a mindless puppet! THAT is what I reject: being a slave to tradition, to obligation. The old ways. Damn the gods! Damn their fates and their destinies! I will have true freedom! Any man who offers less is my enemy.
Chrom: Enough! I don't require every detail of your twisted philosophy. You're a villain and a murderer, plain and simple. And I am the justice you deserve.

Validar: Avatar, why insist on these games? You only delay the inevitable. And besides, the alternative? Have you considered what happens should I fall? These followers of Naga will spurn you now that they've learned what you are. Kill me, and incur the wrath of the Grimleal as well... Would you truly choose to be so utterly alone?

Jedah: No… No, this cannot happen! Falchion’s seal, broken? Foul Mila! Duma is your brother! Would you truly betray your own kin?!
Alm: Stand down, Jedah! Your schemes end here and now. Prepare to pay for your atrocities!
Jedah: Rudolf’s worthless spawn… You’re both disgusting heretics. How dare you wish harm on Duma!
Celica: Open your eyes, Jedah. No matter how it pains you, you must see the truth. Duma’s gone mad—he brings only suffering to his people now. This is the divine dragons’ fate.
Jedah: Silence, girl! You know nothing of what you speak. And if suffering is the gods’ will, what of it? Without their strength at its foundation, Valentia cannot sustain life.
Alm: No. You're wrong. It’s time for us all to stand on our own feet. To live as free men and women.

Cassette Man/Henry Emily: Connection terminated. I'm sorry to interrupt you, Elizabeth, if you still even remember that name. But I'm afraid you've been misinformed. You are not here to receive a gift, nor have you been called here by the individual you assume. Although you have indeed been called. You have all been called here. Into a labyrinth of sounds and smells, misdirection and misfortune. A labyrinth with no exit, a maze with no prize. You don't even realize that you are trapped. Your lust for blood has driven you in endless circles, chasing the cries of children in some unseen chamber, always seeming so near, yet somehow out of reach. But you will never find them, none of you will. This is where your story ends. And to you, my brave volunteer, who somehow found this job listing not intended for you. Although there was a way out planned for you, I have a feeling that's not what you want. I have a feeling that you are right where you want to be. I am remaining as well, I am nearby. This place will not be remembered, and the memory of everything that started this can finally begin to fade away. As the agony of every tragedy should. And to you monsters trapped in the corridors: Be still and give up your spirits, they don't belong to you. For most of you, I believe there is peace and perhaps more waiting for you after the smoke clears. Although for one of you, the darkest pit of Hell has opened to swallow you whole, so don't keep the devil waiting, old friend. My daughter, if you can hear me, I knew you would return as well. It's in your nature to protect the innocent. I'm sorry that on that day, the day you were shut out and left to die, no one was there to lift you up into their arms the way you lifted others into yours. And then, what became of you. I should have known you wouldn't be content to disappear, not my daughter. I couldn't save you then, so let me save you now. It's time to rest. For you, and for those you have carried in your arms.

The Moonsick One: So it's you. I see that even death didn't want you. And now here you are. Stinking of snow and pine. Stinking of them. You wear their clothes. You bear their crown. But you are not one of them.
Madison: You're right. I'm not. Just like you'll never be a human.
Madison: You're right. I'm not. Just like you'll never be a human.
Green Lantern: You're Sinestro Corps?!
Yellow Lantern: Sinestro's right. Fear is more effective than willpower.
Green Lantern: So you ditched green and went yellow. The color of cowardice.
Yellow Lantern: I'm still about order, like the Guardians.
Green Lantern: I'm sure they're very proud of you.
Yellow Lantern: Sanctimony is easy when you don't know what-

Regime Superman: I knew they'd pull you over eventually. You don't belong here.
Superman: My obligations don't end at the borders of my dimension.
Regime Superman: I am this world's savior. I protect it.
Superman: (incredulously) That's what's happening out there? Protection?
Regime Superman: Disobedient children will be punished.
Superman: Children? We're not gods. We don't decide who lives and who dies.
Regime Superman: The decision IS mine! It became mine when Joker turned me into a weapon of mass destruction!
Superman: I know what you lost.
Regime Superman: And you judge me?! (beat) After I've killed you, I'll bring Lois here. When she sees how I've perfected this world—
Superman: She'll be afraid and disgusted!
Regime Superman: She'll be alive!
Superman: Lois's death doesn't justify—
Regime Superman: He stole her from me!
Superman: And you stole this planet's freedom! It's time to give it back.

Supergirl: Diana said the Joker was executed. Were you the one who...?
Superman: I took one life to save millions.
Supergirl: But it wasn't just one, Kal, was it? How many? How many?! Everywhere I go, people are afraid of this... Now I know why.
Superman: It's not how I wanted things. But humans... They've been slaughtering each other for millennia. I stopped that violence.
Supergirl: (lost for words, looks at Superman with a horrified expression)
Superman: Humans need strong leadership. We have to save them from themselves.

"You shut your mouth, Medusa! Lady Palutena is nothing like you! Who turns people to stone and poisons the rivers? Who reduces cities to rubble? And who is leading the Underworld's destruction of the land and heavens? Not Lady Palutena! You're the one responsible for all this, Medusa!"

Ansem: All worlds begin in darkness, and all so end. The heart is no different. Darkness sprouts within it, it grows, consumes it. Such is its nature. In the end, every heart returns to the darkness whence it came! You see, darkness is the heart's true essence.
Sora: That's not true! The heart may be weak, and sometimes it may even give in. But I've learned that deep down, there's a light that never goes out!
Sora: That's not true! The heart may be weak, and sometimes it may even give in. But I've learned that deep down, there's a light that never goes out!
Hades: Let's cut to the chase. Here's the deal I'm gonna offer you. I'll let you out of the slammer— no strings— you'll be free as a bird. And all for one little job: fight Hercules, in the Coliseum, to the death!
Auron: This is my story. And you're not part of it.
Hades: Did you forget who you're talking to?! I am the Lord of the DEAD!
Auron: Hmph. No wonder no one wants to die.
Auron: This is my story. And you're not part of it.
Hades: Did you forget who you're talking to?! I am the Lord of the DEAD!
Auron: Hmph. No wonder no one wants to die.
Xemnas: You accept darkness, yet choose to live in the light. So why is it that you loathe us who teeter on the edge of nothing? We who were turned away by both light and dark— never given a choice?
Riku: That's simple. It's because you mess up our worlds.
Riku: That's simple. It's because you mess up our worlds.
Xemnas: Sora, are you certain you can trust Riku?
Sora and Riku: (both use reaction commands to throw a skyscraper at Xemnas)

Vanitas: It's always about your friends now, isn't it?
Ventus: At least I have some!
Ventus: At least I have some!
Sora: (to a smug Xemnas and Xigbar) Just stop it! You treat people's hearts like bottles on a shelf, but they're not! Hearts are made of the people we meet, and how we feel about them! They're what ties us together even when we're apart! They're what… make me strong!
Xigbar: Duh. You're strong because of the ties you have with other people. As if the Keyblade would choose a wimp like you. But no pouting. We see much bigger and better things in your future… once you side with us.
Sora: I know the Keyblade didn't choose me, and I don't care. I'm proud to be a small part of something bigger… the people it did choose.
(Xigbar gasps as Sora is surrounded by a vision of his past and present allies)
Sora: My friends. They are my power!
(the grin on Xemnas' face has been wiped clean off)
Xigbar: (visibly startled) Those are just words… y-you've lost! Fine. See where your "power" gets you here! Xemnas! He's all yours!

Young Xehanort: What, "your friends are your power"? Hmph. How very true. But if the light of friendship is a form of power... the darkness of being alone is a power even greater. Darkness is the heart's true nature.
Woody: Whatever you're talking about, I don't care. Put Buzz back the way he was, then get lost!
Young Xehanort: Or else what, toy?
Woody: Yeah, I am a toy. And a friend. (marches forward, pushing back Xehanort's darkness with each step) My guess is that no one's ever loved you before. Because you know nothing about hearts and love.

The King of Sorrow: Sob... Why... why do you... hate sorrow? Can't you... can't you accept sorrow at all...? Is there no place for me... in this world?!
Leorina: Don't flatter yourself! You isolated yourself from the world, thinking that you're the only one who's sad! You make me sick!

Weissmann: Hah...STILL sticking to the 'mutual assistance' argument and invoking the power of 'human bonds,' of all things... I would ask you to read a history book before saying such nonsense, Ms. Bright. As an example, consider the overpowering, nation-crushing machine called 'war.' Is man not only capable of being ground beneath its treads?
Estelle: Absolutely not! In the middle of the biggest war in Liberl's history, my mother gave her life to save mine! And because of that, I chose the path of a bracer, and now...look at me! I'm here to stop the crisis YOU caused and prevent another war from breaking out! All thanks, in the end, to my mother! Hell, I'd say you just made my point for me! People are NOT powerless! Not against anything!
Weissmann: Pfeh! You're quite good at trite answers, if nothing else.
Estelle: If you really, seriously believe people are powerless...And you've really convinced yourself humanity can only be 'saved' by you turning us into emotionless superbeings... Then that makes you really pathetic, I think.
Weissmann: What?!
Estelle: I mean, that'd mean you've never known the joy of trusting someone or helping them. To think that your only smug satisfaction comes from watching people struggle...That's just...That's too sad.
Weissmann: Hmph...
Estelle: But even if I feel sorry for you, I am a bracer. I can't ignore the fact that you're getting a lot of people involved in your little pity party. Sorry, but I'm afraid we're going to have to stop you. By force.

Zant: You... TRAITORS!
Midna: Traitors? Ha! You want to know why none would call you king? It was your eyes, Zant. All saw it, a lust for power burning in your pupils. Did you think we'd forget our ancestors lost their king to such greed?

Odie O'Bright: Mercy will be your undoing, Masaru Takahara. The so-called "masters" you defeated, whose techniques you made your own in your quest to become the very best... You left them alive, and so others were free to follow in your wake. I, on the other hand, ensured my victories were complete. Without exception! Namkiat, the naïve brat... That gaudy luchador, the "great" Aja... Simple-minded Han... Jackie, still dreaming of a squandered youth... Max, who was never more than a mere showman... and of course, that doddering fraud Moribe... Each lay dead at my feet when I was finished. For true triumph is found only in death, in the extinguishing of a life and its legacy. You glory in nothing. <chuckle> And who am I, you ask? I am that which you aspire to become. The greatest warrior... Odie O'Bright!
Masaru: You... You son of a bitch. A warrior? Like hell you are! You're nothing but a cold-blooded murderer! With Namkiat's speed... The Great Aja's acrobatics... Han's guile, Jackie's strength... Max's determination, Moribe's wisdom, and my own... righteous fury—I will end you!

Weil: The desire for power. The joy of making everything work for you. You have no way of experiencing this without a human brain. It's the ultimate joy! No mere Reploids could ever understand!

Zero: I never cared about justice and I don't recall ever calling myself a hero... I have always only fought for the people I believe in. I won't hesitate... If an enemy appears in front of me, I will destroy it!

Monsoon: 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. Expose someone to anger long enough, they will learn to hate. They become a carrier. Envy, greed, despair... all memes. All passed along.
Raiden: How about "full of shit"? Is that a meme?

Steven Armstrong: But you DID survive! Through sheer force of will, following your own set of rules! With your own two hands, you took back your life!

Raven Beak: You have followed my instructions faithfully so far. Continue to do so. It's that simple. I consider your performance here on ZDR highly satisfactory. As I hoped, it has even awakened your Metroid powers. I was right to let you live during our first encounter. That one glimpse you showed told me everything. Submit and offer up your power. My plan is the only way to bring order to the galaxy. Fulfill your destiny, Samus. This is an order. Disobedience will not be tolerated.

Iris Zeppelin: I think I might just start believing in fate now. Ah, the feeling of hating another with every fiber of your being... It's such an amazing rush...! Oh, I'm so anxious to rip you apart! What about you? You have the power of the world's finest magician coursing through your veins. How does it feel? Exhilarating? Intoxicating? Exuberant? Or perhaps such a puny vessel can't fully comprehend the magnificence of it all?
Lilli: (in defense of Spiritia) Tia will always be Tia! So there!
Spiritia Rosenberg: Thanks, Lilli. I don't really know if I possess Rosenkreuz's spirit... if I'm his other incarnation or whatnot... or if I inherited his ability to tap into the strength of others'... But none of that matters when it comes to magic. Freu... Zorne... Trau... Luste... Grolla... Sichte... Liebea... Schwer... and Lilli... It's because they support me that I have the will to fight. They're the source of my power. That much, I know for sure!

Sly: I don't get it. You're so familiar with my family, you must have known my father had a son. If you hated the Coopers so much, why did you let me live when you stole the Thievius Raccoonus?
Clockwerk: Because I wanted to show the world that without your precious book, the Cooper line was nothing!
Sly: Ah, well, there's where you're wrong. The Thievius Raccoonus doesn't create great thieves, it takes great thieves to create the Thievius Racoonus!

Sly: Then you'll understand why this Eye needs to be destroyed.
The Contessa: Short-sighted fool. I've no interest in your narrow interpretation of morality. I'm above all that, Above Good and Evil.
Sly: And you think I'd give the Eye to someone that's "above morality"?

Bentley: It's no secret, I'm smarter than the other guys. But there's more to it than that.
Dr. M: Like what?
Bentley: Like brotherhood.
Dr. M: "Brotherhood"? (chuckles) That's just what he wants you to think. It's a tool to keep you in line.
Bentley: No, that's the thing that keeps us happy and alive. It's why I'm going to stop you.

Sly: So, before we finish this, let me get one thing straight: you came after the Coopers because of what happened to your father?
Le Paradox: No, you imbecile! I came after the Coopers to prove that Le Paradox is the greatest thief who has ever lived! If there any doubt? Ask yourself this: if the Coopers were truly the greatest thieves in history, and I have stolen their most valued possessions, then what does that make me?
Sly: Ummm... an idiot? You had it made! You could have been the biggest thief of all time, but you had to target my ancestors and blow your own cover. You exposed your operation because of your ego! No Cooper would've done that. And for the record, can you really say you stole the canes? Seems like your "friends" did all the real work.

Baion: …Failures must be eradicated! Just like former humanity…!
Red: I'm not a failed anything! None of us are!
Baion: Since awaking in this world 350 years ago, I've been watching you failures, all of you. Conflict and war still exist, just as it did in the past for humanity. If things are left as is, your kind will destroy themselves. Again, failures will lead this planet, the Earth, to total ruin! My awakening in this age is surely an Order from the Earth itself! An Order to remake paradise!
Red: You're wrong…! That's all wrong!
Baion: What?
Red: However many times you fail, you can't pretend those failures didn't happen! When I make a mistake or lose my way… I have people who get really mad at me. I have people who have protected me with their lives. People who smile to cheer me up. And people who believe in me, all the way up until the end! And they all believe in me… Because I am who I am! So, no matter how many times I fail, I can get back on my feet! If that makes me a failure in your eyes, that's fine by me! I'll just keep getting up, stronger, every time!

The Evil Sandstream: Just look at all this... All of it, come to pass because of that girl. She needed money to save her sick mother. She chose to do it through the thing that she loved most: dancing. What I'm saying is, she did the right thing for the right reasons. But greed was her undoing... Enticed by a way to make even more money... she caused this. The justice you believe in so strongly... crumbles so very easily when faced with simple human desires. People can do terrible things in the name of justice!
Godfrey: Ohhh... Put a sock in it, will ya? Do you think I'm an idiot? Give me a break. Blaming all of this on the poor girl? Telling me there ain't no justice? You are the deluded one. All of this is your fault, and yours alone! You are just leading people into disaster for your own amusement!
The Evil Sandstream: Heh! All I ever did was to give them a gentle nudge...
Godfrey: I am done talk' with ya. It's time to put 'em up! Gird your loins for a nice big taste of steaming justice!

N: The Sword of Origin...! You are going to end it all? To end Moebius, the pinnacle of life?! This very world?!
Noah: If the world holds our lives back, I will end it! It's as simple as that!
N: It is impossible! I tried... We tried to walk that path, and failed!
Noah: You're full of shit! You never tried, you're just a coward! If you meant it, you'd have found a way! But you didn't even try to make the effort, did you?! So what do you know of the world and of life?!

M: Oh no... Tell me! Tell me why!
N: I didn't... want to lose any more.
M: What do you mean, "any more"?! Everything we held dear is gone! You took them all away, and you dare talk of your feelings of loss?!

Isador Akios: Pathetic! You were great once, before doubt addled your will. Before you rendered judgment on Cyrene. Before you murdered the innocent and guilty, ALL IN ONE STROKE! You weak, sorry fool! How does it feel to have slain millions?! To have betrayed your own family?!
Gabriel Angelos: I betrayed NO ONE! Innocents die so that humanity may live. I ended their suffering, as I will end yours.

Avitus: You are purging yourself of a weakness, Thaddeus, but there are more to come. You cling to hope, which just brings despair. We are weapons. There is the Emperor, and there is war. Nothing more.
Tarkus: There is the Chapter, Avitus.
Avitus: And its secrets, and its lies? Who ever heard of a Chapter that has forgotten its Primarch?! We would sooner forget our own name! There is something dark and hidden there. And look at Captain Thule, a shadow of his former self, who can barely stay conscious for a single battle. That's what heroism gets you. War is all we are. Killing is all we are good for. The rest is delusion!
Thaddeus: Perhaps... But I will cling to hope for a while longer, I think. And if the secrets of the Chapter cost me that? Well, then I will stand with my brothers... all of them.

Tarkus: [The Chaos Space Marines] are taking note of you, Blood Ravens. Best to be Cautious.
Avitus: Enough! Enough of your orders and suggestions! Enough of your excuses! You are no martyr, Tarkus! You are a treasonous cur! A heretic!
Tarkus: In a way, Chapter Master Kyras set me on this path.
Avitus: Another place to put the blame.

Thaddeus: You followed. Could you not just leave things be for once?
Cyrus: We do not overlook betrayal, Thaddeus.
Thaddeus: You think I betrayed you? I did this to save us, all of us!
[..]
Thaddeus: Leave before it is too late. This does not have to end in death.
Avitus: Trying to "save" us again, whelp?
Thaddeus: It is pointless to argue with you. I did what I had to in order to stop the Tyranids.
Tarkus: Serving the Black Legion has nothing to do with the Tyranids.
Thaddeus: Not the Black Legion — Ulkair. I heard the daemon whisper to me on that battlefield. He said he could open the Warp. He could allow the Litany of Fury to reach Typhon. If not, Captain Angelos and the rest of our brothers would never escape the Warp. He asked so little in return.

Thaddeus: I do not wish to kill you, but you are not leaving me much choice.
Jonah Orion: If you have pledged yourself to Ulkair, you have already made the only choice that matters. You have chosen heresy.
Thaddeus: You were not there, Librarian! We stood on Typhon, we faced the Hive Mind. We saw the Armageddon destroyed, and we knew we could not win! I did what I had to do!
[...]
Jonah Orion: You are too eager to believe the lies of daemons, Thaddeus.
Thaddeus: You cannot know! You were not on Typhon!
Jonah Orion: No. I was on the Litany of Fury, facing down the Hive Mind itself! I fought that terrible intelligence for weeks, child! I felt it die as the bio-toxin reached the central hive ship. There was no daemonic hand in that victory.

Azariah Kyras: Ahh, Gabriel! Ever so faithful to that rotting Emperor... Do you not know his soul has been picked clean centuries ago?
Gabriel Angelos: Such are the ways of daemons, to lie and mislead us. Destroying it is the only way to avoid its influences!

Apollo Diomedes: No more talk, Kyras. You have much to answer for. For what you have done to the Blood Ravens, much shall be avenged this day. For Gabriel! For the Emperor!
