Quotes 

• Roy Campbell : [after having submitted to Ocelot's torture, Snake escapes and makes his way back to where Sniper Wolf had gunned down Meryl. Colonel Campbell then contacts Snake via Codec]  Snake, about Meryl.

  Solid Snake : Colonel, I'm sorry.

  Roy Campbell : Listen to me.

  Solid Snake : I wasn't able to protect her.

  Roy Campbell : Snake, it's okay. You did what you could. Now, let it rest.

  Solid Snake : Colonel...

  Roy Campbell : She joined up of her own free will. I'm sure she was prepared for this.

  Solid Snake : No, you're wrong.

  Roy Campbell : ...?

  Solid Snake : Meryl thought she had to become a soldier, thought it was the only way. She said she thought it would bring her closer to her dead father.

  Roy Campbell : [surprised]  She said that?

  Solid Snake : She wasn't ready for real combat. I shouldn't have pushed her so hard. It's all my fault.

  Master Miller : That's not like you, Snake.

  Roy Campbell : Master? What is it?

  Master Miller : Sorry for eavesdropping, but I just couldn't listen anymore.

  Solid Snake : Master...

  Master Miller : Snake, you can have regrets if you want to. It's only natural, but you can't keep attacking yourself for things that happened in the past. That road leads to madness, believe me.

  Mei Ling : He's right. Don't kick yourself. It doesn't suit a legend like you. And besides that, for all we know, Meryl's okay, right?

  Solid Snake : Mei Ling...

  Roy Campbell : Snake, forget about Meryl. Stop Liquid. That's what Meryl would want, too.

  Solid Snake : You're right. Meryl would say the same thing.

  Naomi : Snake?

  Solid Snake : What?

  Naomi : Meryl... she's pretty special to you, huh?

  Solid Snake : Yes, she's special. There aren't many women like her around.

  Naomi : That's not what I meant.

  Solid Snake : She's the Colonel's niece, and a combat buddy.

  Naomi : Is that all? C'mon...

  Solid Snake : This is like a police interrogation.

  Naomi : No, I just...

  Roy Campbell : I guess it's in the genes.

  Solid Snake : The genes? What are you talking about, Colonel?

  Roy Campbell : [chuckles]  No, I just remembered about Naomi's grandfather. I think Naomi said he rose as high as assistant secretary in the FBI during Edgar Hoover's time.

  Solid Snake : Is that right?

  Naomi : Yes. Yes, uh... he was, uh, Japanese, and he became a special undercover investigator to nab the mafia.

  Master Miller : When was that?

  Naomi : Oh, sometime in the '50's, I guess.

  Master Miller : Where?

  Naomi : Uh, New York, I think.

  Master Miller : Naomi, I thought you didn't have any family.

• Mei Ling : Snake. That's a ladies bathroom.

  Solid Snake : I know that. I saw Meryl come in here.

  Mei Ling : So you went in after her? Are you some kind of pervert? I won't let you save your mission now.

  Solid Snake : Listen Mei Ling, this is the only place on this base that I can talk to Meryl alone.

  Mei Ling : Whatever, weirdo. Don't call me again.

• [player calls Mei Ling's frequency, and chooses "DO NOT SAVE" 3 times in a row] 

  Mei Ling : C'mon, Snake, don't call me for no reason!

• Solid Snake : [contacting Colonel Campbell via Codec after receiving a call from someone named 'Deepthroat']  Colonel, I got a Codec call from someone outside this operation!

  Roy Campbell : I know. We were monitoring the call. Mei Ling knows everything about the communications system, so let me have her explain it to you.

  Mei Ling : Well, if somebody knows your frequency, they can call you. But, the question is, how did he learn it? It's top-secret information.

  Solid Snake : So, you mean someone leaked the information?

  Mei Ling : That's the only explanation I can think of.

  Solid Snake : Mei Ling, do you know where that transmission originated from?

  Mei Ling : I'm sorry. The radio waves were too weak to locate their source, but I'm sure he's near you. Somewhere on the base.

  Roy Campbell : Snake, you'll have to go through the minefield to advance.
