>A chance at a real life, just not from behind a gun.
>We don't draw weapons on comrades. Look around you, this is your family.
>Your CQC is sloppy, come see me later for a lesson you won't forget.
>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.
>He's right, I killed them with my own hands.
>I won't scatter your sorrow to the heartless sea. I will always be with you. Plant your roots in me. I won't see you end as ashes. You're all diamonds.
>I'm already a demon. Heaven's not my kind of place anyway.
>Either way one of these days we're gonna have to kill her. But now is not the time. When the time comes I'll pull the trigger.
>Anyone here can use a knife or a gun, what you're gonna learn is how to use your head.
>Just one thing, Kaz... This isn't about the past...We're fighting for the future.

I have to drive out this demon inside me - build a better future. That's what I - what we - will leave as our legacy. Another mission, right Boss?
>That's right, don't blame yourself. Blame me.
