Powinny być wszystkie:
Snake, remember what De Gaulle said The graveyards are full of
indispensable men.
Snake, you're all alone and surrounded by bad guys. Try to be careful
and avoid getting into a fight whenever you can.
You're right. Wow. You know all sorts of great quotes, don't you?
Well, both my parents are from Guangdong, China, but I was born and
raised in America.
I've always liked reading literature from both sides...kinda keeps me
in touch. I'll share some more quotes with you if you like.
I'm looking forward to it. But to tell you the truth, I'd like to learn
more about you.
Well...I'll think about it.
Snake! Are you smoking a cigarette!?
Cigarettes are poison...they kill people. Didn't you hear what Dr.
Naomi said?
"He that cuts off twenty years of life cuts off so many years of
fearing death. Is that why you smoke, Snake? You're too afraid of life?
Snake, listen to what Lao-Tze said He who knows that enough is enough
will always have enough.
Just cause you see an item doesn't mean that you always have to get it.
If you don't really need it, think twice before you stick your neck
out. It might not be worth it.
Snake, like Shakespeare said Nought's had, all's spent, where our
desire is got without content.
Basically, it means that your desire can get you into trouble if you're
not careful.
That goes for items too. Don't get too greedy or you might be sorry. Be
careful, Snake.
Snake, in China they say You must cross the river before you tell the
crocodile he has bad breath. Do you know what that means?
It means that the wise man avoids danger first. Use your brain to avoid
traps and stay away from the enemy.
How's it going, Snake? Have you gotten used to using the radar yet?
Yeah. It's a great system. Not only can I read the topography, but I
can monitor the movement of the bad guys too.
Pretty convenient, huh. It also makes it easy for us to see everything
that you're doing.
You're watching everything?
Of course. If you were my boyfriend, you'd never be able to cheat on
me.
Being monitored 24 hours a day...that would be like hell.
Don't think of it like that. At least you'd never get lost.
Snake, like Confucius said The cautious seldom err.
If you proceed cautiously, you probably won't make a big mistake.
Snake, even after you get used to the mission, don't lose your concentration.
Snake, have you ever heard the saying Friendly counsel cuts off many
foes ?
It means that a little bit of advice from friends can save you a lot of
trouble. You should think about it.
If you're in trouble or if you need some information about something,
please contact Colonel Campbell or someone else. Okay?
In my parents' homeland they say If there are more wolves, the people
are eaten; If there are more people, the wolves are eaten.
That means the side with greater numbers is usually the winner. You're
badly outnumbered Snake...try not to let them see you.
I wish I could send you weapons through this Codec, instead of just
data.
That would be nice. I'm starting to feel like a thief already...
Ransacking rooms, rifling through fallen enemies' pockets...
But you have no choice, Snake.
Maybe so, but I think I'm starting to develop kleptomania. I just keep
putting things in my pocket.
Have you ever heard this one? Confucius said it...
Enough proverbs for now. I want to hear about you.
"The superior man is modest in his speech but exceeds in his actions.
What's that supposed to mean?
It means I hardly know you, Snake. It wouldn't be right to start
telling you all about my personal life.
Okay...but I'm not giving up.
"O, he's a limb, that has but a disease; mortal, to cut it off; to cure
it easy.
Snake. You caught a cold, didn't you? Don't you think you'd better take
some cold medicine at least?
Snake, This sickness doth infect. The very life-blood of our
enterprise.
That's from Henry IV. Snake, you'd better take that cold medicine and
start feeling better. The success of this mission may depend on it.
Mei Ling, how did you get into this line of work?
The truth is...I always wanted to become a fighter pilot.
I fell in love with jets watching them in the movies.
You'd be surprised how many people say the same thing.
But I didn't want to kill people. That's when I heard that the US Air
Force needed people to do BDAs, battle damage assessments.
Those are the guys whose job it is to confirm how successful a bombing
run was.
Yeah. So I started to do research into aerial photography and air
intelligence. I made it my major.
But there are no pilots who only do BDAs...
That's right. But by the time I learned that, I was already an expert
in my field.
Mei Ling, you said that you wanted to become a pilot. Did you take an
aptitude test?
Well, I've got bad eyes. You probably didn't know it, but I'm wearing
contact lenses.
So you failed your aptitude test, huh?
Yeah, it's ridiculous. We're not flying around in biplanes anymore,
y'know.
That's right. Today's pilots fly jets that go several times the speed
of sound.
Exactly. At those speeds, the naked eye isn't that useful. You need
sophisticated electronics to see what's really going on.
So is that why you developed your radar system?
Yeah. I wanted to develop a radar system that would help soldiers make
better, more informed decisions.
So your radar shows what's really going on, huh?
It depends on how you interpret it. Like beauty, truth is in the eye of
the beholder.
You can say that again.
Snake, what does it feel like to fight?
Why do you ask?
I like to play fighting games.
Games?
Yeah. Fighting games. Since I started this job, I've seen so many
people kill each other. But I always see it on a monitor, or in burst
transmission.
Not a very good job, huh.
I'm not sure. When you watch it on a monitor, it starts to feel just
like a video game.
This is no game! There are no startovers if you make a mistake.
I'm sorry...
Killing's not fun. It's not pretty either, like it looks in those video
games.
Okay, Snake...I understand. War's not a game.
Listen, Mei Ling, after this operation is over, I want you to go back
to being a normal student.
You should be having fun...playing real video games instead of playing
war.
In China, they say Rashness brings success to few, misfortune to many.
Snake, go forward when it's safe, but retreat when there's danger.
You'll just have to play it by ear depending on the circumstances.
The Chinese say It is the strong swimmer who most often drowns.
0xe6cd: It is because the strong swimmer overestimates his abilities and
underestimates the strength of the river.
You are probably quite used to the mission now, but don't get careless.
There's a Chinese proverb The mind cannot be in two places at once.
Make sure that you're not thinking of something else during the
mission, okay?
"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, old time is still aflying, and this
same flower, that smiles today, tomorrow will be dying.
Snake, laughter is the best medicine.
You should be happy you've got enough free time to play a game. Enjoy
yourself, okay?
In Paradise Lost, Milton wrote Solitude sometimes is best society, and
short retirement urges sweet return.
Is that why you came back, Snake? You got tired of your short
retirement in Alaska, huh?
The proud man does not eat rotting meat even when hungry, nor steal
water from another's well when he thirsts.
But...on the other hand, you were forced to steal or find every item
you've got, so I guess I shouldn't say that.
In China, they say Once the fox gets his nose in, he'll soon find a way
to make his body follow.
That's a perfect description of you. You can do it, Snake. But you've
got to be flexible...adapt to each situation uniquely.
"He who is firm in will molds the world to himself.
Don't forget what you're here to do. You've got to seize any
opportunities that present themselves.
But I guess I don't have to tell you that, do I?
Don't forget to save your memories of me too.
You can't save memories even on that system of yours. Memories are
fragile things.
After you reduce them to binary numbers and send them through the air,
they're not memories anymore.
I wouldn't be so sure of that. There's nothing that my systems can't
do.
Memories aren't just sounds and pictures. They exist somewhere between
the sounds, between the pictures.
I don't get it. Anything can be done digitally.
If that's true, why don't you go ahead and try to save what I'm
thinking right now.
I can't save that type of thing. You have to put it into words at
least...
That's right. And that's what memories are...wordless.
I don't know about that...
No matter how far data technology advances, you'll never be able to
penetrate the human heart.
You're wrong. It's just a matter of time...
But first you have to try to understand human emotions, Mei Ling.
And how do I do that?
You have to allow yourself to fall in love with someone.
Snake, in China they say When walking through a melon patch, don't
adjust your sandals.
That means that when things get really bad, you have to try to remember
what's important.
Keep things in the proper perspective, okay?
In China, they say The snake, knowing itself, strikes swiftly.
It means that if you have confidence that what you are doing is part of
your true nature, there should be no hesitation.
I don't know whether your orders are in your true nature or not. But
Snake... believe in yourself!
Snake, Leo Durocher said Win any way you can. Nice guys finish last.
What about you, Snake? Is that what you think? Is there anything that
you wouldn't do to stay alive?
You should think about that, Snake.
Snake, don't give up. Remember Macbeth, act V, scene 3.
"I'll fight, till from my bones my flesh be hack'd, give me my armor.
Everyone is counting on you, Snake....You've got to do it!
"War he sung, is toil and trouble; honor but an empty bubble.
What about you, Snake? Is your honor just an empty bubble, too?
Snake, Come, what come may, time and the hour runs through the
roughest day.
"How do I love thee? Let me count the ways...
Have you ever heard that? It's Elizabeth Barett Browning.
Oh uh...don't think too deeply about that one. I'm not sure why I said
it...
"The tongues of dying men enforce attention, like deep harmony.
Snake, people don't normally lie with their dying breaths. I think he
was telling the truth. Maybe you should believe him.
In China they say It's better to live ugly than to die beautiful.
I think it's true. Once you're dead, you'll never have another chance
to be happy. I can't understand people who want to die before their time.
Please Snake...promise me that you'll come back alive.
Listen...in China, they have a saying...
Forget it...I'll use my own words this time.
Cheer up, Snake.
Don't listen to what he said. It's nothing but a bluff. I'm sure about
that.
I don't think he's the bluffing type...
But, Snake. You have a job to do. Pull yourself together for the
world's sake.
First, you've got to figure out how to get out of there.
I bought a ceiling fan the other day. Complete waste of money. He just stands there applauding and saying "Ooh, I love how smooth it is."
