Jak II (2003 Video Game)

Clancy Brown: Baron Praxis

Quotes 

• Jak : Kor! What's going on?

  Kor : I'm sure you know! Deep down in your darkest nightmares! We've met before, remember.

  [to Praxis] 

  Kor : Everything is going exactly as planned.

  Daxter : [as Kor transforms]  Jak! It's the metal head leader!

  Kor : Now you see! Without the shield walls corrupting my powers inside the city, I am my full potential now! So for the last time, give me the Precursor Stone!

  Baron Praxis : If the city must die, then we all die!

• Baron Praxis : You are the supreme weapon, Jak. And I made you. Still... any leader worth his salt always has a back-up plan.

  [he presses a button, revealing a bomb] 

  Baron Praxis : Remember, the first rule to making a bomb... is to always make two...

  [he dies] 

• Baron Praxis : I've told you, I will have more eco by week's end. We'll transport it directly to your nest, as promised!

  Kor : A deal is of no value if you can't deliver, my dear Baron. I grow impatient with your puny gestures. Give me the agreed upon eco soon, or the deal is off, and your precious city will pay the price!

  [his hologram vanishes] 

  Erol : He's toying with us! Let me lead an assault on the Nest before it's too late! I can take him!

  Baron Praxis : Patience, commander. No one has ever penetrated the Metal Head Nest. You know that! I've seen what comes of such foolish plans.

  [he strokes the ruined side of his face] 

  Baron Praxis : No! Strength is their weakness... We play helpless... We train them to eat from our hands, and then... Move forward with the plan! Tell Ashelin to up her patrols. I want that Tomb found!

  Erol : But your daughter has not been... agreeable.

  Baron Praxis : Agggg... I'll see to that problem. One way or another.

  Jak : [aside]  Ashelin is the Baron's daughter?

  Baron Praxis : And find that child! If you'd spend half as much time looking for that little brat as you spend flirting with that mechanic girl, we would have pinned his royal ass to a wall long ago!

• Baron Praxis : [over his intercom]  Fear not the men in red. Sure there are occasional complaints, about their over-aggressive policing, wanton destruction of people's property during raids, mass arrest, misplaced loved ones and whatnot. Hey, we're only human! Running a city can be tougher than it looks. Imagine how much worse it would be if the Metal Heads were in charge.

• Computer Voice : Dark Eco injection cycle complete. Bio readings nominal and unchanged.

  Baron Praxis : Hhhppp. Nothing! I was informed that this one might be different!

  Erol : He is surprisingly resistant to your 'experiments' Baron Praxis. I fear the Dark Warrior program has failed.

  Baron Praxis : Aaaagh!

  [to Jak] 

  Baron Praxis : You should at least be dead with all the Dark Eco I've pumped into you!

  Erol : What now? Metal Head armies are pressing their attacks. Without a new weapon, my men cannot hold them off forever!

  Baron Praxis : Aaggh, I will not be remembered as the man who lost this city to those vile creatures! Move forward with the final plan! And finish off this 'thing' tonight!

  Erol : As you wish.

  [leans towards Jak] 

  Erol : I'll be back later...

• Baron Praxis : [over loudspeaker]  We've had a few... incidents with our lower-class labor force lately. If your Lurker is acting up, call Krimzon Animal Control. Is your Lurker in a tree? Stuck in a sewer grate? Foaming at the mouth? Call the friendly officers of the K.A.C., and they will deal with your furry slave with all the love and care it deserves. Then haul it away for reconditioning.
