From the original Max Payne:

Max Payne: So what does B.B. stand for anyway, backstabbing bastard?

* * *

[Max has forcibly overdosed on Valkyr, and is not thinking at all straight]

Max Payne: There was something disturbingly familiar about the note on the desk. The handwriting was all pretty curves.

Michelle Payne: [the note reads] You're in a graphic novel.

Max Payne: The green light washed the lies away. My whole life was just frames, words hanging in the air like bubbles. I was in a graphic novel. Funny as Hell, it was the most horrible thing I could think of.

* * *

[Max is still hallucinating on Valkyr, and encounters the same note as before]

Max Payne: There was something disturbingly familiar about the note on the desk. The handwriting was all pretty curves.

Michelle Payne: [the note reads] You're in a computer game, Max.

Max Payne: The truth was like a green crack through my brain. Weapon statistics floating in the air, glimpsed out of the corner of my eye. the repetitious act of shooting, time slowing down to show off my moves. The paranoid feeling of someone controlling my every step. I was in a computer game. Funny as Hell, it was the most horrible thing I could think of.

You try to open some doors and you get a message:

From Max Payne 2:

Max Payne: what about Mona Sax?

Vladimir Lem: I know of her, her reputation as a hired killer. I hear she is a stone fox, I would fuck her.

Max Payne: [narrating] Right then, I hated Vlad.


* * *

Max Payne: [narrating] Death is inevitable. Our fear of it makes us play safe, blocks out emotion. It's a losing game. Without passion you are already dead.


* * *

Max Payne: [narrating] "The Things that I Want," by Max Payne. A smoke. A whisky. For the sun to shine. My wife and baby girl back. Unlimited ammo and a license to kill. Right then, more than anything, I wanted her.


* * *

Operator: Thank you for calling Dangerous Liaisons. For Candy, press one. For Sandy, press two. For Mona, press three.

Max Payne: [presses three on the phone]

Operator: You pressed three for Mona.

Mona (not Sax): Hi, this is Mona. What's your name?

Max Payne: I just need someone to talk to.

Mona (not Sax): Honey, this is a phone sex line; all we do is talk.

Max Payne: Right. It's... how do you fix something like that? How do you make amends? I thought it would help, but it only made it worse.

Mona (not Sax): Just give me your credit card number and I can listen to you all night.

Max Payne: Killing them all only made it worse; it didn't bring them back.

Mona (not Sax): Hey! What are you, some kind of a weirdo?

Max Payne: Sorry... this was... sorry.

The Longest Journey

April: Where's everybody this morning?

Fiona: Mickey's tied up in the basement... Mind you, she's not literally tied up, of course - although that is a tempting thought.

April: Are you getting into your sexual fantasies here, Fiona? Because it's a little too early in the morning for that, don't you think?

Gabriel Knight: The Beast Within

Gabriel Knight: Just the right size for the Big Bad Wolf to come down the chimney... unless he's already here.

* * *

Gabriel Knight: All she wants to talk about is white sausage.


* * *

Gabriel Knight: What do you think of the club philosophy?

Preiss: It works, doesn't it?

Gabriel Knight: Does it?

Preiss: Were all animals! Why deny it?

Gabriel Knight: So you don't believe in suppressing anything?

Preiss: Why would I want to suppress my urges? If your body wants something, it must be natural.

Gabriel Knight: Well, what if you get the natural urge to rip someone's throat out? Shouldn't they suppress?

Preiss: Well, fortunatly my instincts are for pleasure, the equally sticky, but less fatal kind.

Gabriel Knight: What about those whose instincts are fatal? Shouldn't they suppress?

Preiss: I believe that nature handles that situation when it occurs, Herr Knight.

Gabriel Knight: How does it do that, exactly?

Preiss: In the wild when a member of society does not conform, he is hunted down and executed. End of mutant instinct, and its genetic bloodline.

Grim Fandango

Olivia Ofrenda: [reading a poem] With bony hands I hold my partner / On soulless feet we cross the floor / The music stops as if to answer / An empty knocking at the door / It seems his skin was sweet as mango / When last I held him to my breast / But now we dance this grim fandango / And will four years before we rest.


* * *


Hector LeMans: Oh Manny... so cynical... What happened to you, Manny, that caused you to lose your sense of hope, your love of life?

Manuel Calavera: I died.


* * *

Membrillo: [describing his work at the morgue] All day long, Manny, I sort through pure sadness. I find evidence, and I piece together stories. But none of my stories end well - they all end here. And the moral of every story is the same: we may have years, we may have hours, but sooner of later, we push up flowers.


* * *

Olivia Ofrenda: Why are you leaving town?

Manuel Calavera: I'm chasing a woman I met once and can't forget.

Olivia Ofrenda: Well, I have a poem I wrote just for you. Pay attention because it's pretty short. Here it goes: Ch-ch-ch-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-mp.

"If you're going to doubt yourself, I'll leave you here."

"A strong man doesn't need to read the future. He makes his own."

"I never felt truly alive until I was staring death in the face."

"Can you understand what it's like to know that you're garbage since the day you were born?!"

"Foolish man. He prayed for death, and it found him."

"I'll send you a love letter my dear. Do you know what that is? It's a bullet, straight from my gun to your heart."

"This world is one of sadness. Battle brings death. Death brings sorrow. The living... may not hear them. Their voices... may fall upon deaf ears. But make no mistake... the dead... are not silent. Now you will know the sorrow of those whose lives you have ended."

- Metal Gear Solid.

Sam Carter: "How are you holding up?"
JC Denton: "Fine. I completed the mission objectives."
Sam Carter: "You were ordered to kill a man in cold blood. That must have been difficult."
JC Denton: "Not if you pause for a second and think about who he was and what he stood for."
Sam Carter: "It's a shame when a difference of opinion gets somebody killed. That's all I have to say about that."
JC Denton: "Every war is the result of a difference of opinion. Maybe the biggest questions can only be answered by the greatest of conflicts."

Walton Simons: "The government is just responding to a threat."
Terrorist Prisoner: "A government should be about more than self-perpetuation."
Walton Simons: "You will confess, by the way. I don't like to dirty my hands with that sort of thing, but you will confess."
Terrorist Prisoner: "You said it yourself; secrets are power."
Walton Simons: "We have less civilized ways of making you talk."
Walton Simons: "I am a patient man."
Terrorist Prisoner: "Ask me if I care."
Walton Simons: "But not that patient."

Walton Simons (facing you): "You saw nothing, Denton."

"When due process fails us, we really do live in a world of terror."

"He'd been assuming that there were two sides to this game and both were playing to win. But what if. . .what if there was someone else and they wanted to see both sides lose?"

"I'm not a holy woman of any sort. I'm just a regular woman. I get angry... I cry... I laugh... Although at times I can resent others, I also know how to love others... Loving whole masses of people at times... and loving just one person the rest of the time... I am in supreme bliss when I am embraced by the man that I love. Giving what I have to him, and receiving what he gives to me, we become one flesh... That is the moment when I am most at peace. It is my prerogative as a woman to simply want to save the man that I love!"

- Xenogears.

"I don't know who you are, where you are from, or what you want... But if you threaten my freedom... I'll kill you. "

- Duke Nukem.

"I want you to know that I didn't dislike him. Gotta admit he was a strange dude. Just when you thought he was cool, he'd go and do some damn fool thing. And when you thought he was smart, he'd show how stupid he was. Everything about him from his movements to his speech were kinda odd."

- Final Fantasy 7.

I used to play Zork on my C64, but is wasn't the first computer roleplaying game. My older brother had a game called "Adventure Land" on his TRS-80 at least 2 years earlier. The game media was a cassette tape and it took 20 minutes to load.
