Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory (2005 Video Game)

Marcel Jeannin: Douglas Shetland

Quotes 

• Douglas Shetland : [pointing guns at one another]  It doesn't have to end like this, Sam.

  Sam Fisher : No, but it does have to end.

  Douglas Shetland : On that we agree. We've been fighting thei dirty little wars our whole lives, and where do we end up? Staring at each other down the barrels of our guns. Nothing has changed, Sam, but I won't change my degrees. We have to tear it down and start over; it's the only way.

  Sam Fisher : Your own little Chaos Theory; throw the whole world into war and hope that what comes out the other side is better?

  Douglas Shetland : It will be better because this war will change things, Sam. Every other war has been about keeping things the same, but the status quo doesn't work anymore. America is sick, Sam... she's dying; the politicians, the bureaucrats, the whispered backroom deals, it's all life support for a sick old woman who was dead long ago.

  Sam Fisher : The only backroom deals I've seen lately have been made by you. You're a murderer and a war criminal.

  Douglas Shetland : Those are the only names the state has for the revolutionaries. You only become a hero after the war is over. You know the truth; the world is built from the bottom-up, not the other way around. Honor, courage, fidelity, we don't inherit these things from the world, Sam; we build the world from them. You believe in these things more than any government, and I know because of it you wouldn't shoot and old friend

  Sam Fisher : [staring over Shetland's corpse]  You're right, Doug; I wouldn't shoot an old friend.

• Douglas Shetland : Blood is thicker than water, Sam, and you and I have bled a lot together.
