Anne Bobby: Brigid Tenenbaum

Quotes 

• [Ending: If the player chooses to save the little sisters] 

  Brigid Tenenbaum : They offered you the city... and you refused it. And what did you do instead? What I've come to expect of you. You saved them. You gave them the one thing that was stolen from them: A chance. A chance to learn, to find love, to live. And in the end, what was your reward? You never said it, but I think I know: a family.

• [Ending: If the player kills more than one little sister and save some of them] 

  Brigid Tenenbaum : [sad tone]  They offered you everything, yes? And in return, you gave them what you always did: Brutality. You took what you wanted. All the ADAM. All the power. And Rapture trembled. But in the end, even Rapture was not enough for you. Your father was terrified that the world would try to steal the secrets of the city. For you now have stolen the terrible secrets of the world.

• Brigid Tenenbaum : [Explaining her Love of Science] 

  Brigid Tenenbaum : I was in a German prison camp, only sixteen years old when I realized I have love of science. German doctor makes experiments, sometimes he makes scientific error. I tell him of this error, and this makes him angry. He asks "How can a child know so much?" I tell him sometimes I just know. He Screams "Then Why Tell Me?" Well I said if you are going to do such things you should at least do them properly.

• [Ending: If the player should be cruel and heartless enough to kill ALL the little sisters] 

  Brigid Tenenbaum : [angry tone]  They offered you everything, yes? And in return, you gave them what I've come to expect of you: Brutality. You took what you wanted. All the ADAM. All the power! And Rapture trembled. But in the end, even Rapture was not enough for you. Your father was terrified that the world would try to steal the secrets of his city. But not you. For now you have stolen the terrible secrets of the world!

• [Maternal Instinct] 

  Brigid Tenenbaum : What makes something like me? I look at genes all day long, and never do I see the blueprint of sin. I could blame the Germans, but in truth, I did not find tormentors in the prison camps, but kindred spirits. These children I have brutalized have awoken something inside that for most is beautiful and natural, but in me, is an abomination... my maternal instinct.
