113	->We can do this one of two ways. The easy way... Or the excruciatingly painful death way. I suggest the former, m'self.

164	'''Frank Hannibal:''' You like the killing, then.\
165	'''Schlock:''' Done right, yeah. Ending a horrible, evil person with superior firepower is very satisfying. It's so much simpler than how society usually tries to do it.\

171	'''Tagon:''' Sergeant, we're not going to go down there and start shooting just for the fun of it. We're soldiers, not sociopaths.\
172	'''Schlock:''' ''Not'' sociopaths. ''NOT''. hmmmm... I guess I ought to go set the guys straight on that one.\

192	->It could be safe to say that you would rather have a psychopath at your side than to your back, since they're more likely to splatter your enemy's brains on the wall than your own. The Sociopath loves to fight, or at the very least feels the most alive while in battle. They kill without hesitation or remorse, and only rarely do we see any kind of emotion other than a "Don't fuck with me or I'll shove a rock up your ass" sort of vibe. While dangerous and unpredictable at times, they often have a personal code of honor, and will not break it under any circumstances. Though we doubt shooting you over the last Pop Tart in the pantry falls within the confines of that code, so you'd best watch yourself.

198	->This sounds like a job for Ambassador [[GrenadeTropes Pineapple]]. You'll be representing me on the floor. Now go out there and work your magic. (''[[StuffBlowingUp KABOOM]]'') Well, it sounds like we've reached a resolution!
199	-->-- '''Gordon Freeman''', ''WebVideo/FreemansMind''
200
201	->That's it. No more Mr. Nice Guy. If you're wearing an enemy uniform, you're dead. If somebody's grandma is cold and puts on a camo blanket, she's ''dead''.
202	-->-- '''Gordon Freeman''', ''WebVideo/FreemansMind''
