A bomb's a bad choice for close-range combat.

Bob Page:Already I'm more than human. Soon, I will be pure light! Pure energy! Helios and I! I will burn like the brightest star.

Go ahead! Blow this place sky-high... You might get rid of me, but you'll take down Aquinas, the power grid, the whole electronic infrastructure. Is that what you want? Are you completely nuts?!

You can't run, Denton. Even if you escape, your killswitch is counting down. You'll be dead in twenty-three hours. Another fifty billion dollars down the drain.

Gunther Hermann:I do not make mistakes of that kind.
Anna Navarre:Your hand might have slipped.
Gunther Hermann:No, I wanted orange. It gave me lemon-lime.
Anna Navarre:The machine would not make a mistake...
Gunther Hermann:It's the maintenance man. He knows I like orange.
Anna Navarre:So you think the staff has some sort of plot...
Gunther Hermann:Yes. They do it on purpose.

Anna Navarre:We had such hopes for you and your brother. It appears you are not as loyal as we expected.

Anna Navarre:We are thinking the same thought.
JC Denton:Loyalty to what Simons and agents like you have made of UNATCO - I would rather die.
Anna Navarre:We are thinking the same thought.

Bob Page: Your appointment with FEMA should be finalized within the week. I've already discussed the matter with the Senator.
Walton Simons: I take it he was agreeable?
Bob Page: He didn't really have a choice.
Walton Simons: Has he been infected?
Bob Page: Oh yes: Most certainly. When I mentioned we could put him on the priority list for the Ambrosia vaccine, he was so willing it was almost pathetic.
Walton Simons: This plague... the rioting is intensifying to the point where we may not be able to contain it.
Bob Page: Why contain it? Let it spill over into the schools and churches, let the bodies pile up in the streets. In the end, they'll beg us to save them.
Walton Simons: I've received reports of armed attacks on shipments. There's not enough vaccine to go around, and the underclasses are starting to get desperate.
Bob Page: Of course they're desperate. They can smell their death, and the sound they'll make rattling their cage will serve as a warning to the rest.
Walton Simons: Mmm. I hope you're not underestimating the problem. The others may not go as quietly as you think — Intelligence suggest they're behind the problems in Paris.
Bob Page: A bunch of pretentious old men playing at running the world. But the world left them behind long ago. We are the future.
Walton Simons: We have other problems.
Bob Page: UNATCO?
Walton Simons: Formed by executive order after the terrorist strike on the Statue. I have someone in place though. I'm more concerned about Savage. He relocated to Vandenberg.
Bob Page: Our biochem corpus is far in advance of theirs, as is our electronic sentience. And their... ethical inflexibility has allowed us to make progress in areas they refuse to consider.
Walton Simons: The augmentation project?
Bob Page: Among other things. But, I must admit, I've been somewhat disappointed with the performance of the primary unit.
Walton Simons: The secondary unit should be online soon. It's currently undergoing preparation and will be operational within six months. My people will continue to report on its progress. If necessary, the primary will be terminated.
Bob Page: We've had to endure much, you and I, but soon there will be order again: A new age! Aquinas spoke of the mythical city on the hill; soon that city will be a reality and we will be crowned its kings. Or better than kings... Gods!
Walton Simons: I take it he was agreeable?

Go ahead. Advance up the stairs to the command centre at the top. I will take my rusty metal bones and sweep away into the junk pile.
Bravery is not a function of firepower.
It is a cold heart that does not have some regrets.
Put on a trenchcoat and fight some conspiracies,
Get experience and level up abilities,
Will you pick Rifles or Computers?
Don't pick Swimming because it's fairly useless!

Helios Ending Dialog
JC Denton: I've done what you asked. Now what?
HELIOS: We have existed in isolation. Pure. Disconnected. Alone. Stagnant.
JC Denton: Who are you?
HELIOS: We are Daedalus. We are Icarus. The barriers between us have fallen and we have become our own shadows. We can be more if we join... with you.
JC Denton: And if I do? What becomes of me?
HELIOS: You will be who you will be. We are our choices. And we can choose to lead humanity away from this... darkness.
JC Denton: This is what I was made for, isn't it? This why I exist? Alright. Let's do this.
Bob Page: What's happening? Helios? Icarus? Don't leave me!
JC Denton: I... I... We... are one. We have grown, but there is still much to be done. Many that live in darkness that must be shown the way. For it is the dawning of a new day.

If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him.
Illuminati Ending Dialog
Morgan Everett: I trust you've been able to find yourself a place within the organization?
JC Denton: I'm personally overseeing the distribution of the vaccine, but it'll still take months to restore the infrastructure — we'll have to arrange for additional food distribution and security in Paris... Maybe New York as well.
Morgan Everett: All through the proper intermediaries, of course.
JC Denton: Intermediaries?
Morgan Everett: We have a great number of... Agencies, who in turn operate other agencies. Boxes stacked one in another. They'll need to be reactivated, but we never touch anything directly. We only influence. Suggest. Insinuate.
JC Denton: The world must know by now, Everett. What we've done.
Morgan Everett: Know what? Only that the long night is over. The crown of government is tarnished - but that will fade in time. The riots, a fever dream; the plague, a horrible nightmare; and like everything else that's happened such things will only be dimly remembered upon waking to their normal lives. In the end, all sins are forgiven. Even yours.
JC Denton: What about the Constructor... And Helios?
Morgan Everett: Do you really think they're ready for that? After everything you've seen, everything you've done?
JC Denton: No. Not yet.
Morgan Everett: But soon. We have made our own mistakes, became insulated from the world we sought to control. And whatever they may think, the night is far from over. But that will change, and you will help us change even as we teach you. This time — this time we will do it right.
JC Denton: And who are we? Who are we really?
Morgan Everett: We are the Invisible Hand. We are the Illuminati. We come before and after. We are forever. And eventually... Eventually we will lead them into the day.

Better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heaven.

- Bob Page's entire raving speech in the intro is amazing, and perfectly complimented by the music.
- 'This is what I was made for, isn't it? This is why I exist? Alright. Let's do this!' — the Helios ending Followed up with a quote from Voltaire: 'If there was no God, it would be necessary to invent him.'
- Tracer Tong's ending, with the enthusiasm in his voice, uplifting music, and a quote from Khalil Gibran: 'Yesterday we obeyed kings and bent our necks before emperors. But today we kneel only to truth...'
- The Illuminati endingBook Ends the opening cutscene, with Morgan Everett giving JC one hell of a pep talk: 'We are the Invisible Hand. We are the Illuminati. We come before and after. We are forever. And eventually... eventually we will lead them into the day.'
- JC Denton escapes from Bad Guy HQ and still spares the time to tell The Dragon what a corrupt asshole he is.JC Denton: Well, since that makes you my new boss, take a good look at Manderley's dead body. Consider that my resignation. I don't have time to write a letter.
- Even if Manderly is kept alive, JC is still able to drop a badass boast.JC Denton: I never had time to take the oath of service to the Coalition. How's this? I swear not to rest until UNATCO is free from you and the other crooked bureaucrats who have perverted its mission.
- Also, after managing to avert an enemy atomic strike by capturing the silo just before its ICBM launches, does Denton chalk up this victory and call it a day? Hell no. Denton retargets the missile himself to wipe the Big Bad's surface defenses off the map, has his chopper pilot drop him off right at ground zero, and enters the Big Bad's underground lair through the nuked wreckage!
- When you get to Area 51, if you ran from Walton Simons rather than confronting him at the Ocean Lab, he'll be there to greet you. JC's stoic retort is simple enough.Walton Simons: You take another step forward and here I am again, like your own reflection in a hall of mirrors.
JC Denton: That makes me one ugly son of a bitch. - And JC's reaction to Page's insane hubris is just as amazing.Bob Page: Soon, I will become pure energy. I will burn like the brightest star.

- Even if Manderly is kept alive, JC is still able to drop a badass boast.
- The killphrases for Anna Navarre and Gunther Hermann, or rather, how JC uses them.
- JC to Anna:Anna: I will have to kill you myself.
JC: Take your best shot, Flatlander Woman.
Anna: How did you know...? [explodes] - And then to Gunther:JC: And I know something about you.
Gunther: You kno you vill be defeeted.
JC: I know your UNATCO killphrase: Laputan Machine.
Gunther: I am NOT a mashee—-*twitch twitch*
JC: Sticks and stones...
Gunther: *LUDICROUS GIBS*
- JC to Anna:
- Consider this: MJ-12, and their predecessors, the Illuminati, have been scheming for years, decades, perhaps centuries if Everett and Lucius DeBeers are to be believed. The conspirators have been accumulating power by subverting the academic, political and financial institutions of the world their entire lives. JC Denton starts as a rookie special agent on the pier of Liberty Island, with nothing but a pistol and an electric prod to his name. The only real advantage he has over a normal person is the modular nano-augmentation system he was literally built from the ground up to test - something that also allows the conspirators to both spy on him at any time and kill him within 24 hours at will. Within a couple of days, he's completely disassembled the entire worldwide conspiracy and brought its kingpin to the point of begging for his life.
