wolves without teeth

have you ever loved someone? do you think love can bloom, even on a battlefield? i do. i think at any time, in any place, people can fall in love with each other. but if you love someone, you have to be able to protect them. what was she fighting for? what am i fighting for? what are you fighting for? if we make it through this, i’ll tell you. hal and dave? that’s a good one. maybe we should take a trip to jupiter. i’m his friend—i know him better than anyone else. you’ve got a job to do. i’m counting on you, otacon. you can’t wait to be loved—you have to go out and find it. we’re something like a family, aren’t we. i’ll follow you wherever you go—like this! otacon, why don’t you jump off the ship with me? snake had a hard life. are you crying, uncle hal? snake, stand up. please don’t give up on me. the nine years with me—have they been fun? thanks to you, i’ve seen my battles through to the end. i’m content with that. i don’t believe in god, otacon, so you’re the only one to whom i can pray. give me the strength to do this now. i'll remember everything you were, and stick with you to the end. otacon, are you there? i’m here. i’m with you, snake. now and always.
