Quotes

(On Sheik)

Snake: "What's going on here? What happened to Zelda?!"

Mei Ling: "Snake, Princess Zelda transformed into Sheik. I can understand the clothes, but to change her skin and eye color? That must take some powerful magic."

Snake: "...Magic...?"

Mei Ling: "Come on, Snake! Don't get all grumpy and start talking about how unscientific it is. Science is basically just another form of magic that makes our lives easier."

Snake: "I never thought I'd hear that coming from you, Mei Ling."

Mei Ling: "Don't you think talking to someone halfway around the world is a kind of magic? Or flying across entire continents?"

Snake: "No. I think this is completely different."

(On Zero Suit Samus)

Snake: "Mei Ling, Samus took her clothes off!"

Mei Ling: "That's just her in her zero suit, Snake."

Snake: "Without that bulky power suit, she's gotten a lot more agile. You know, I bet if I took of all this heavy gear, I could catch her...

Mei Ling: "Um, yeah, you wish. Even without the Power Suit, all that training she did with the Chozo has made her a super athlete. I don't think a normal human could keep up. Just look at her."

Snake: "...Her loss."

(On Meta Knight)

Snake: "Mei Ling, there's a mysterious masked man flying around here with a sword..."

Mei Ling: "That's Meta Knight. He's a knight from Dream Land. They say his sword swings can break the sound barrier. Whatever you do, don't get caught in one of his furious barrage attacks. He also commands the Halberd, a flying battleship."

Snake: "Mm, I've seen it. The bow looks like his mask. What kind of weirdo puts his face on the bow of a ship, anyway?"

Mei Ling: "Umm, maybe he's a little narcissistic. Kind of like someone else I know."

Snake: "Really... And who would that be?"

Mei Ling: "Use your imagination..."

(On Pikachu)

Mei Ling: "Ooh! How cuute!"

Snake: "What? The yellow thing?"

Mei Ling: "That's Pikachu. It's a Pokémon. They're popular all over the world, you know. And it may look cute, but be careful. It can store up large amounts of electricity in those adorable little cheeks. It'll try to pepper you with electric shocks."

Snake: "Couldn't be much worse than Ocelot's old torture device..."

Mei Ling: "Oh, and, Snake?"

Snake: "What?"

Mei Ling: "I was wondering, could you maybe try and catch Pikachu for me? Pleeeeease?"

Snake: "Give me a break! What do I look like, a Pokémon Trainer?"

Mei Ling: "Fine... Sorry I asked."

(On Lucario)

Mei Ling: "You're fighting Lucario, aren't you, Snake?"

Snake: "Mei Ling, what's that purple fire coming out of his hands?"

Mei Ling: "That's his "Aura.""

Snake: "Aura?"

Mei Ling: "I guess you could call it his life force. Lucario can use his own Aura and turn it into power. Every time Lucario's damage increases, his aura gains strength, making his attacks more powerful. So don't think you've got him beat just because his health is down."

Snake: "The cornered rat will bite the cat... Sounds like trouble."

Mei Ling: "Hey! When did you become so good with proverbs?!"

Snake: "You must have rubbed off on me."

Mei Ling: "Well, come back in one piece, and I'll teach you all the Chinese proverbs you can handle."

(On Marth)

Mei Ling: "Snake, have you heard the saying "Politics makes strange bedfellows"?"

Snake: "Don't tell me that's a Chinese proverb."

Mei Ling: "Err, no... It means that when the going gets tough, you might need unexpected partnerships in order to succeed. Marth was a prince whose kingdom was usurped. He didn't even have an army to fight with him. But as he battled his way forward, he found new allies to fight at his side, and in the end, he was able to reunite the war-torn land of Altea."

Snake: "So he built his army from the ranks of his defeated enemies..."

Mei Ling: "Marth did his share of fighting too. Even when he had an army, he was always alongside his men in the thick of battle. Then he was betrayed by one of his most trusted friends. I can't even imagine how that feels..."

Snake: "...I can."
