Quotes 

• Jim Raynor : I can't believe you're really going to trust this snake!

  Arcturus Mengsk : Don't worry, Jim. He's our snake now.

• Lt. Sarah Kerrigan : This is Kerrigan. We've neutralized the Protoss but there's a wave of Zerg advancing on this position. We need immidiate evac!

  Arcturus Mengsk : Belay that order. We're moving out.

  Jim Raynor : What! You're not just gonna leave them?

  Arcturus Mengsk : All ships prepare to move away from Tarsonis on my mark.

  Lt. Sarah Kerrigan : Uh, boys? How about that evac?

  Jim Raynor : Damn you, Arcturus! Don't do this!

  Arcturus Mengsk : I's done. Hellsman, signal the fleet and take us out of orbit. Now!

  Lt. Sarah Kerrigan : Commander? Jim? What the hell is going on up there?

• Arcturus Mengsk : [giving his inauguration speech at the end of the Terran Campaign]  Fellow Terrans, I come to you in the wake of recent events to issue a call to reason. Let no human deny the perils of our time. While we battle one another, divided be the petty strife of our common history, the tide of greater conflict is turning against us, threatening to destroy all that we have accomplished. It is time for us as nations and as individuals to set aside our long-standing feuds and unite. The tides of an unwinnable war are upon us and we must seek refuge on higher ground lest we be swept away by the flood. The Confederacy is no more. Whatever semblance of unity and protection it once provided is a phantom... a memory. With our enemies left unchecked, who will you turn to for protection? The devastation wrought by the alien invaders is self-evident. We have seen our homes and villages destroyed by the calculated blows of the Protoss. We have seen first hand our friends and loved ones consumed by the nightmarish Zerg. Unprecedented and unimaginable though they may be, these are the signs of our time. The time has come my fellow Terrans to rally to a new banner. In unity lies strength; already many of the dissident factions have joined us. Out of the many we shall forge an indivisible whole capitulating only to a single throne. And from that throne, I shall watch over you. From this day forward let no human make war upon any other human. Let no Terran agency conspire against this new beginning, and let no man consort with alien powers, and to all the enemies of humanity: seek not to bar our way. For we shall win through, no matter the cost!

• Arcturus Mengsk : Gentlemen, you've done very well, but remember that we've still got a job to do. The seeds of a new Empire have been sewn, and if we hope to reap...

  Jim Raynor : Aw, to hell with you!

  Arcturus Mengsk : You're making a terrible mistake. Don't even think to cross me. I've sacrificed to much to let this fall apart.

  Jim Raynor : You mean like you sacrificed Kerrigan?

  Arcturus Mengsk : You'll regret that. You don't seem to realize my situation here. I will not be stoped. Not by you, or the Confederates, or the Protoss, or anyone. I will rule this sector or se it burnt to ashes around me! If you try to get in my way...

  The Terran Adjutant : The fleet is prepped and ready, Commander. Awaiting orders.

  Jim Raynor : The hell with him. We're gone.

• Arcturus Mengsk : Gentlemen, you've done very well, but remember that we've still got a job to do. The seeds of a new Empire have been sewn, and if we hope to reap...

  Jim Raynor : Aw, to hell with you!

• Edmund Duke : This is Duke. The emitters are secured and online.

  Lt. Sarah Kerrigan : Who authourized the use of Psi emitters?

  Arcturus Mengsk : I did, Lieutenant.

  Lt. Sarah Kerrigan : What? The Confederates on Antiga were bad enough but now you're going to use the Zerg against an entire planet? this is insane!

  Jim Raynor : She's right, man. Think this through.

  Arcturus Mengsk : I have thought it through, believe me. You all have your orders, carry them out.

• Arcturus Mengsk : Listen, I know Duke's a cold hearted bastard, but an entire colony shouldn't have to suffer for that. Besides, a Confederate general could prove to be a powerful ally.

• Arcturus Mengsk : You know of course that my organisation operates outside the bounds of Confederate law. That's why they spread their lies and misinformation. If you decide to accept our help, you'll be branded as an outlaw too. But, it might be a chance to save those people. Time to make a stand, Magistrate!

• Lt. Sarah Kerrigan : I'm having doubts about this, Arcturus. I just don't think anyone deserves to have the Zerg unleashed on them.

  Arcturus Mengsk : I know you have personal feelings about this, but you can't let your past cloud your judgement. Carry out your orders, Lieutenant.

• Arcturus Mengsk : I'm offering you a position in my cabinet, not just some backwater post. Don't test my patience, Edmund.
