Vanessa Marshall: Strangelove

Quotes 

• Strangelove : [Cassette Tape - "AI Pod's Final Recording"]  Open this thing! Huey! Damn it Huey! Open it now! Please... Let me out... Kill me... If only I tried to get out sooner... Perhaps I'd have made it. Why didn't I stop the hatch from closing? Even if it meant losing an arm? Well, I guess I'll... stay a while. My voice... It's so distant. But you can hear me, can't you, Joy? I know you can. You're recording all of this. Deep down in some memory board he'll never find. Duplicating it... Burying it under heaps of meaningless code. Anyway, I guess I can say what needs to be said. I can still do that much - talk to you... Even if I can't face you. Even if there's a heaven - even if you're waiting there - I don't deserve to see you again. I don't deserve to love you. I signed up for Zero's plan. Even now that he's halfway to dead, his plan lives on - leeching away at the world. And it took your strength to make it happen. In using you, I put the world in his palm, once and for all. Zero... Zero... Or whoever it is who's taken his name... They found me - after the Caribbean. They made me... simulate his will. So that - even after the body was gone - that will would keep the world turning the way they wanted. I had no choice. They dredged Lago Cocibolca, pulled up your phantom... Forced me to revive and modify you. I thought I could bring you back! But in the end... I sold your will to "him." Now this pod is just one big shell - a husk. Your phantom is no longer here... As for me, everything I touch turns to ashes. I could never make anyone happy... And now I'll never see my son again. But at least Hal's free from his father's hands. Me, with child. Can you imagine? I wonder how you took the news. Were you jealous? I knew what I was doing. If I could pass your will onto a child I carried... My genes, your meme... The father would be... irrelevant. If I did that, that child would be ours. I've been a fool. Pride, conceit, baseless theories... Of course I couldn't see through the dream. The "false you" I created... I only wanted to pass your will on to the next generation. But Zero took it away. And now I haven't just lost you, I've lost my... Oh Hal, can you forgive the mother who couldn't protect you? The one who let them take it all away from us? There's still hope. You - the one he took away. He'll never break your will. The will to make this world... The way you saw it could be. I buried code - just to be sure. Inside of you, there's an "egg." And when someone finds it... When they crack it... They'll be nothing left to stop you. The world you envisioned will become a reality. Joy... I know you can hear me... You do remember my voice, don't you? Please... Take care of our son. Hal... Don't ever be afraid. Whatever happens out there, she'll be watching over you. The system - the framework for your world - will protect you. You don't need me... You just need to be strong enough for the both of us. Talked... too much... I'm glad it's you... Here at the end... I think I hear your pulse...

• Ocelot : Nine years ago, this man acted as accomplice to the attack on Mother Base. He then provided support to Skull Face. Conspiring with Eli, he repaired Sahelanthropus in secret. His "research materials" caused the leak at the quarantine facility. Which in turn caused the Wolbachia mutation, letting the parasites off their chains. We lost a lot of good men. He also stands accused of murdering one of his own family, hiding the body.

  Huey Emmerich : I haven't killed anyone. The rest is all wrong, too. The inspection was supposed to help everyone! I sacrificed myself for my companions just as much as any of you... Why won't you believe me?

  Kazuhira Miller : The prosecution calls a witness.

  [Summons The Boss AI] 

  Kazuhira Miller : Strangelove's gravestone. Haunted by her phantom.

  Huey Emmerich : It's just a machine...

  Strangelove : [the Boss AI blinks and plays the recording of Huey locking away Strangelove inside The Boss AI]  Open this thing! Huey! Damn it Huey! Open it now! Please... Let me out... Kill me...

  Kazuhira Miller : It recorded it all...

  [Throws the photos on Huey] 

  Kazuhira Miller : Everything... Everything you did living together.

  Huey Emmerich : How could a machine...?

  Kazuhira Miller : You forced your own son into the cockpit of a Metal Gear. A test subject.

  Huey Emmerich : Hal...

  Kazuhira Miller : His mother had to hide him away... And for that you locked her in that coffin.

  Huey Emmerich : No! She... She did it herself! It was suicide!... And even if I did, what right do you have?

  Kazuhira Miller : There's more. We have you to tell us everything you've done - everything you've thought - all this time. Nine years ago. You agreed to the inspection in return for Cipher's guarantee that you'd be spared.

  Huey Emmerich : I thought it was real!

  Kazuhira Miller : We've reviewed into everything else that's happened since you arrived here.

  Huey Emmerich : Please...

  Kazuhira Miller : Guilty. All counts.

  [Smashes his cane on the ground and the angered crowd keeps shouting to kill Huey before Ocelot shuts them with a gunfire] 

  Kazuhira Miller : We exist outside the law. What should we do, Boss? Just give the order... We'll handle the rest.

  Punished Snake : [Walks to Huey]  Prepare a life raft. Big enough for one. Food and water, too.

  Kazuhira Miller : Boss...?

  Punished Snake : He's leaving.

  Kazuhira Miller : You... He's responsible for... for all of this. Think of all the men... He didn't lose a damned thing. This is the enemy, and he's here - on his knees...!

  Punished Snake : Kaz. You are right, he's not one of us... But we are not responsible to judge an enemy. He leaves Mother Base and that'll be the end of it.

  Huey Emmerich : [One of Diamond Dogs staffs puts a box containing food and water on a raft, about to touch a part on Huey's exo-leg before Huey backs him off]  Get back! Don't touch me! I'm innocent! You're the murderers!

  [points at Snake before the raft slowly descends to the sea] 

  Huey Emmerich : Snake, you should be in this boat! There'd have been no inspection if it weren't for your precious nuke! I risked my life trying to save you all! How can you do this? Am I the only sane one here? I... My... It's not my fault.

  [as the water flows to the raft, Huey throws both his exo-legs] 

  Ocelot : Look... You can't discard your phantoms forever, Doctor.

  Kazuhira Miller : Son of a bitch'll make it, you know. I can see it now. In no time he'll be telling tales about the black-hearted Diamond Dogs. The shining white knight. Blabbering on about our injustice, hiding behind his fool's idea of morality... And all the other fools will stand around, nodding with every word he says.

  Ocelot : No. One day he'll see through the lies he's built up. Realize what kind of man he really is. What goes around comes around. You can't run from yourself forever.
