James Harper: Arcturus Mengsk

Quotes 

• Kate Lockwell : Sir, do you still stand by the sentiment that selfless devotion to the people is the basis of your rule?

  Arcturus Mengsk : Well, of course! I was called upon to serve the greater interest of humanity! Personal power was never my goal!

  Kate Lockwell : Then how would you characterize this statement?

  Arcturus Mengsk : [recording]  ... I will not be stopped. Not by you or the Confederates or the protoss or anyone! I will rule this sector or see it burnt to ashes around me...

  Arcturus Mengsk : I... I won't STAND for this! You jackals think you can come in here and question ME? This interview is OVER!

• Arcturus Mengsk : They say a man never really knows himself until his freedom's been taken away. I wonder... how well do you know yourself?

  Adjutant : Prisoner, step forwards onto the platform.

  Arcturus Mengsk : Convict 626. Murderer. Pirate. Traitor. Today... you go free. But as you'll soon learn... even freedom has a price.

  Adjutant : Combat suit sealed and locked.

  Arcturus Mengsk : You'll carry your prison with you. That armor will be your new cell. Make no mistake, war is coming. With all its glory... and all its horror. Mr. Findlay - your freedom awaits.

  Tychus Findlay : Hell... it's about time.

• Kate Lockwell : Emperor, the threat of a new zerg invasion is still very real - but instead of expanding our fleets, you've squandered trillions on hunting down has-been rebels like Jim Raynor!

  Arcturus Mengsk : Jim Raynor represents a clear and present threat to this Dominion! He is an unscrupulous, lawless revolutionary bent on spreading fear and dissention across the sector! He and his ragtag band of miscreants have instigated open rebellion across six separate worlds - and stolen vast amounts of Dominion weapons and hardware! I assure you, this criminal will be brought to justice... very soon.

  [Raynor aims his revolver at the TV] 

  Jim Raynor : It ain't over till it's over, you son of a bitch.

  [Raynor shoots the TV] 

• Arcturus Mengsk : Valerian! I've just received a report you've taken half the fleet! Care to explain yourself, boy?

  Valerian Mengsk : Father, I am about to accomplish that which you never could. Today I will defeat the Queen of Blades and secure peace throughout the Dominion. By this act the people will finally know that I am a worthy successor to you.

  Arcturus Mengsk : I love your gumption, son, but you're in way over your head. What makes you think you have the experience to...

  Jim Raynor : He ain't alone, Arcturus!

  Arcturus Mengsk : Raynor. I don't know what gutter my son fished you out of, but even you've got to realize that treacherous bitch cannot be saved... And neither can you.

  Jim Raynor : We'll see about that, and when this is over, you and me got a score to settle.

• Arcturus Mengsk : There's only one man arrogant enough to think he can get away with this - Raynor!

  Jim Raynor : Hah. Just for once Arcturus, this really is all about you. I hope you enjoy our show.

  Arcturus Mengsk : I knew it. Warfield! Get your men down there. I want Raynor's head, you understand? Him and all his terrorist friends!
