Re: [EVENTO] Maiores Heróis: Naked Snake x Lara Croft (Combate 22)
Um dos muitos diálogos phodásticos de Metal Gear 3:
Snake: ...Why'd you disappear on me all of a sudden?
Boss: I was on a top-secret mission.
Snake: ...
Boss: You didn't need me anymore.
Snake: But there were still so many things I wanted you to teach me.
Boss: No. I taught you everything you needed to know about fighting
techniques. I taught you all I could. The rest you needed to learn on your
own.
Snake: Techniques, sure. But what about how to think like a soldier?
Boss: How to think like a soldier? I can't teach you that. A soldier needs to
be strong in spirit, body, and technique - and the only thing you can learn
from someone else is technique. In fact, technique doesn't even matter. What's
most important is spirit. Spirit and body are like two sides of a single coin.
They're the same thing. I can't teach you how to think. You'll just have to
figure it out for yourself. Listen to me, Jack. Just because soldiers are on
the same side right now doesn't mean they always will be. Having personal
feelings about your comrades is one the worst sins you can commit. Politics
determine who you face on the battlefield. And politics are a living thing.
They change along with the times. Yesterday's good might be tomorrow's evil.
Snake: Is that why you abandoned me?
Boss: No. It had nothing to do with you. I already told you, Jack. I was on a
top-secret mission. A soldier has to follow whatever orders he's given. It's
not his place to question why. But you're looking for a reason to fight.
You're a natural born fighter, but you're not quite a soldier. A solider is a
political tool, nothing more. That's doubly true if he's a career soldier.
Right and wrong have no place in his mission. He has no enemies and no
friends. Only the mission. You follow the orders you're given. That's what
being a soldier is all about.
Snake: I do whatever I have to do to get the job done. I don't think about
politics.
Boss: That's not the same thing. Sooner or later, your conscience is going to
bother you. In the end, you have to choose whether you're going to live as a
soldier, or just another man with a gun. There's a saying in the Orient;
"Loyalty to the end." Do you know what it means?
Snake: Being... Patriotic?
Boss: It means devoting yourself to your country.
Snake: I follow the President and the top brass. I'm ready to die for them if
necessary.
Boss: The President and the top brass won't be there forever. Once their terms
are up, others will take their place.
Snake: I follow the will of the leader, no matter who's in charge.
Boss: People aren't the ones who dictate the missions.
Snake: Then who does?
Boss: The times. People's values change over time. And so do the leaders of a
country. So there's no such thing as an enemy in absolute terms. The enemies
we fight are only in relative terms, constantly changing with the times.
Snake: ...
Boss: As long as we have "loyalty to the end," there's no point in believing
in anything... even in those we love.
Snake: And that's the way a soldier is supposed to think?
Boss: The only thing we can believe in with absolute certainty is the mission,
Jack.
Snake: All right. But do me a favor.
Boss: What is it?
Snake: Call me Snake.
