Nolan North: Capt. Martin Walker
Quotes
-
Colonel John Konrad : It seems that reports of my survival have been greatly exaggerated.
Captain Martin Walker : This isn't possible...
Colonel John Konrad : Oh I assure you, it is.
Captain Martin Walker : How?
Colonel John Konrad : Not how. Why? You were never meant to come here.
Captain Martin Walker : What happened here was out of my control...
Colonel John Konrad : Was it? None of this would've happened if you just stopped. But on you marched. And for what?
Captain Martin Walker : We tried to save you.
Colonel John Konrad : You're no savior. Your talents lie elsewhere.
Captain Martin Walker : This isn't my fault.
Colonel John Konrad : It takes a strong man to deny what's right in front of him. And if the truth is undeniable, you create your own. The truth, Walker, is that you're here because you wanted to feel like something you're not: A hero. I'm here because you can't accept what you've done. It broke you. You needed someone to blame, so you cast it on me. A dead man. I know the truth is hard to hear Walker, but it's time. You're all that's left and we can't live this lie forever. I'm going to count to five, then I'm pulling the trigger.
Captain Martin Walker : You're not real. This is all in my head.
Colonel John Konrad : Are you sure? Maybe it's in mine? One.
Captain Martin Walker : No... everything, all of this, It was your fault!
Colonel John Konrad : If that's what you believe then shoot me. Two.
Captain Martin Walker : I-I didn't mean to hurt anybody...
Colonel John Konrad : No-one ever does Walker. Three.
Colonel John Konrad : Four. Is this really what you want Walker? So be it. Five!

Captain Martin Walker : This is Captain Martin Walker, United States Army. Attempted evacuation of Dubai ended in complete failure. Survivors... One too many.
-
Captain Martin Walker : Gentlemen, welcome to Dubai.
-
Captain Martin Walker : Go fuck yourself!
Radioman : Woah woah! Let's keep it clean! This is, after all, a family program! Rated E for EVERYONE'S THIRSTY!
-
Captain Martin Walker : [Talking about Col. konrad] Back when I knew him in Kabul, he was an honorable man.
Colonel John Konrad : Because I saved your life? I saved many lives, Captain... I've ended even more.
-
SSgt. John Lugo : [Fast roping] Weeeee!
Captain Martin Walker : That's enough, Lugo.
SSgt. John Lugo : Just keepin' it light, boss.
Captain Martin Walker : Yeah, I don't need light. Need you focused on the mission.
-
Captain Martin Walker : We're looking for survivors
Radioman : Well, you found some. And it's a bitch ain't it?
-
Captain Martin Walker : Was John Konrad the greatest man I ever served with? Well, I dunno. There was this one time in Kabul when he dragged my bleeding carcass half a mile to the evac chopper, so maybe I'm biased. But the facts don't lie. The man's a f*ckin' hero. Remember when the first storms hit Dubai? You were probably safe and sound at home watchin' TV. Well, Konrad was leadin' the damned 33rd outta Afghanistan. 'Stead of comin' home, he volunteered his entire battalion to help with the evac. But all you did was send a check. Rumor is Konrad was ordered to abandon the city. He defied that order. And the 33rd stood with him. Now, the official story's still hazy 'bout what happened next. All we know for sure is the storms got worse. Much worse. Last thing we heard outta Dubai was the Konrad was leading a caravan of survivors outta the city. That was six months ago. Then, two weeks ago, we picked up this transmission...

Colonel John Konrad : [if player shoots Konrad] It takes a strong man to deny what's right in front of him.
Captain Martin Walker : Stronger than you were.
Colonel John Konrad : Whatever you say, Walker. No matter what happens next, don't be too hard on yourself. Even now, after all you've done, you can still go home.

Captain Martin Walker : Command wants us to look around, we look around.
SSgt. John Lugo : I don't know. Sounds like a waste of three stone-cold, ruggedly handsome delta operators such as ourselves.
1st Lt. Alphanso Adams : Think of it as a paid vacation.
SSgt. John Lugo : Well, for future reference, I prefer my beaches with a 3-to-1 Sexy Lady:Dead Body ratio.
Captain Martin Walker : Lugo... Do you ever actually hear the sh*t comin' outta your mouth ?
SSgt. John Lugo : No, I do not, sir. I find it messes with my rhythm.
-
SSgt. John Lugo : Yes, sir. About 800 yards away.
Captain Martin Walker : Then, we are 800 yards away from findin' out whose more fulla shit - you or intel.
SSgt. John Lugo : Wow. If I wasn't a hardened kill' machine, that mighta hurt.
-
Captain Martin Walker : I tried to save you.
Colonel John Konrad : You're no savior. Your talents lie elsewhere...

Soldier : [after the white-phosphorus strike] Why?
Captain Martin Walker : You brought this on yourself.
-
Sergeant Roberts : [Ending lines] You know, Captain, we drove through this whole city to find you. We saw things. If you don't mind me asking, what was it like? How'd you survive all this?
Captain Martin Walker : Who said I did?
-
Staff Sergeant John Lugo : This is just fucked.
First Lieutenant Alphonso Adams : What're you talking about?
Staff Sergeant John Lugo : People died back there. Not just soldiers and civilians, but Gould. Our best chance of gettin' outta this hellhole.
Captain Martin Walker : Calm down, Lugo. There's nothing we could have done.
Staff Sergeant John Lugo : Don't tell me to calm down. We got no idea what the fuck we're doin' here!
First Lieutenant Alphonso Adams : Yeah, you're right. Puttin' your faith in Gould, you are fuckin' clueless. Man, I'm through with this shit.
Staff Sergeant John Lugo : Fuck you! At least I'm doin' my job! You're the one who's fine just sitting back, waiting for things to unfuck themselves.
First Lieutenant Alphonso Adams : [Clocks Lugo] You think I like watchin' these people die, huh? You think I won't carry this shit to my fuckin' grave?
Captain Martin Walker : Stand down! Both of you, stand the fuck down! The fuck is wrong with you two? We're in the middle of a fucking war zone and you're fighting in the dirt like a couple of goddamn kids. You are Delta operators. Fucking act like it!

Captain Martin Walker : You okay?
1st Lt. Alphanso Adams : Do I look okay to you?
Captain Martin Walker : What happened to Lugo isn't our fault.
1st Lt. Alphanso Adams : Don't tell me what I already know. Lugo's blood is on your hands, not mine.
[Makes finger guns]
1st Lt. Alphanso Adams : Bang.
Captain Martin Walker : Konrad deserves to die. You know that.
1st Lt. Alphanso Adams : And what do we deserve?
Captain Martin Walker : I think we both know the answer to that.
1st Lt. Alphanso Adams : So, how we gonna do this?
Captain Martin Walker : Kill everything that fuckin' moves.
1st Lt. Alphanso Adams : Sounds like a plan.
