Notable Quotes from the Crystal Dynamics Games:

Legend - Tomb Raider VII

[Lara pulls down a bookcase in library with her grapple]

• Alister: Don't mind my offer to help you get it down in a less... calamitous manor.
• Lara: I didn't hear you offer at all, and especially not a calamitous one, but thanks all the same.

• Zip: Y'know, I think you forgot your climbing gear on purpose!
• Lara: What would give you that idea?

[She grabs the edge of a crevice, but the rock brakes and Lara falls. She quickly finds a new place to hang onto]

• Lara: Breathe Zip, it's like going up a set of stairs, only far less boring.
• Zip: Yeah? Well I wanna throw up every time you look down... Hey, Alister's back! [To Alister] Grab a headset.
• Lara: Back so soon? From Florence, wasn't it?
• Alister: Decided on Genoa at the last minute. My dissertation will never see daylight at this rate, but never mind that. What are you doing in Bolivia?
• Lara: Ascending.

• Zip: Do me a favour and check you PDA?
• Lara: It still works if that's what you're wondering.
• Zip: Cool! They said it was water-proof. You should be able to swim with it no problem. Unless you eat it. Then you'll have to wait an hour.

[Lara arrives in Ghana and looks at a beautiful waterfall]

• Lara: If all else fails, I can get into the postcard business.

[Lara manages to make an ancient trap mechanism work ]

• Zip: Congratulations, you've had your wish-- the place is a deathtrap.
• Lara: It needed a woman's touch.

[Through her binoculars Lara looks at a ruin]

• Lara: Isn't she beautiful? I'm falling in love all over again.
• Zip: You say that to all the ruins.

• Lara: They don't seem so keen on visitors these days...
• Zip: But hey, you're the one with the guns.
• Lara: You can't blame me for knowing how to accessorize. Any word from Anaya?
• Zip: She said she'll meet you at the statue in the marketplace.
• Lara: At least we'll have our privacy.

• Lara: Zip, did you speak to Takamoto?
• Zip: He didn't want to see you so I reminded him how much you hate the word no.

[Referring to Takamoto]

• Nishimura: He is a very dangerous man when his interest differ from yours.
• Lara: You'd be amazed how persuasive I can be. Even with dangerous men.

[Lara returns into the main hall after meeting Nishimura and sees Takamoto's goons firing at her. She jumps behind a bar. A goon heads to the bar, thinking Lara is a sure target. Lara stands up holding her pistols and kills the goons]

• Zip: Where'd you get those?
• Lara: Basic etiquette: never arrive at a party empty-handed.

[Lara shoots an explosive barrel and destroys an area]

• Zip: Nishimura's gonna bill you for that.
• Lara: It's not a party until something gets broken.

• Zip (to Alister): Man, I don't know what she's thinking. She's crazy!
• Lara: I can hear you, you know, and it's a tad distracting.

[Lara is outside and looking at a tall building]

• Lara: What a lovely evening to be outside.
• Zip: Uh oh, you know what that means.
• Alister: I'll get the Dimenhydrinate...

[Lara is in the King Arthur Museum and notices a button. A voiceover babbles about King Arthur and the Sword]

• Zip: Press that again - it's like electroshock therapy for Alister here!

• Zip: The connection isn't too strong, so you probably won't be able to hear much once you're under water.
• Lara: There is a God.

• Zip: Once again we find ourselves on top of a mountain with no climbing gear.
• Alister: And I doubt any of that snow and ice is stable. You should keep moving before it brakes on you.
• Lara: I have done this before, you know.

• Zip: It's usually someone else's past you're digging into.
• Lara: That's where you're wrong, Zip - this has always been what it's about

• Lara:Good advice Zip, you do look after me.
• Zip: You *and* Winston, he signs the checks.

[Lara needs to get across an area with the floor set on fire]

• Zip: No way your long jumping that!
• Lara: No, but it might have been worth trying just to hear you lads squeal about it.

[Lara uses Excalibur to blow open a door]

• Zip: Now THAT'S how you open a door!
• Lara: I prefer door knobs

[Lara has just opened the temple door in Ghana. Rutland notices her.]

• Rutland: Lara. You're a busy beaver aren't you.
• Lara: Oh look, it's Rutland.
• Lara: Fancy dropping down for a chat then?
• Rutland: Only if you can shoot this far.
• Lara: You know long distance relationships inevitably come to an end.
• Rutland: I'd wish you luck with that but..er..ya' know.

[Lara arrives in Bolivia Stone Dais]

• Lara: Everyone between me and the stone dies.

[Lara puts Excalibur in the Stone Dais]

• Amelia: What? Who are you?
• Lara: Mother, it's Lara, your daughter
• Amelia: Daughter?
• Lara: Don't touch the sword!

[Amanda awakes]

• Amanda: Take out the sword!
• Lara: What? No! Mother. Mother listen to me.
• Amanda: Everything will explode unless you pull out the sword!

Anniversary - Tomb Raider VIII

• Natla: My company has recently turned its focus on the study of ancient artifacts, and I am led to believe that with the right incentive, you are just the woman to find them for me.
• Lara: I'm afraid you've been mistaken. I only play for sport.
• Natla: Which is precisely why I've come to you Miss Croft. This is a game you've played before.

[Lara is looking for Pierre among the columns]

• Pierre: I suppose you are more of a dog person.
• Lara: Natla doesn't honor her contracts, Pierre. I'd move on if I were you.
• Pierre: No, Mademoiselle. Natla and I understand each other. I find things for her and she rewards me handsomely. But you seek the very thing she does. That is why you are not trusted.
• Lara: I trust my instincts.
• Pierre: And that's why you are in second place. I, am a professional, Mademoiselle; I focus on the job, and I get paid.
• Lara: There's more to life than money, Pierre.
• Pierre: This isn't life, Mademoiselle. It's BUSINESS! Your compulsion prevents you from seeing the difference!
• Lara: It hasn't prevented me from getting a piece of the Scion. How's business for you?
• Pierre: [pause] Touché. So then, why don't we see whose compulsion gets them the next piece?

[Pierre is holding Lara at gunpoint]

• Pierre: You see, instincts can be expensive. Yours are going to cost you both pieces of the Scion.
• Lara: That's not a price I'm prepared to pay.
• Pierre: Don't be absurd; no job is worth dying for.
• Lara: [pause] Yes, it is.

[Lara finds out that the track has been blocked by a large crate. Larson walks out, holding up a fuse]

• Larson: Sorry, Darlin', this is the end of the line.
• Lara: [sighs] Just hand it over, Larson. This has nothing to do with you.
• Larson: What's it got to do with you? The Scion belongs to Natla. Face it, Lara; you've got no business here.
• Lara: I don't have time for this; get out of the way, or you die.
• Larson: [snorts] What are you going to do? Shoot me? Come on, I just work here. I know how bad you want this, but I can't let you pass. We both know you are not gonna kill me for it.

[Lara hesitates]

• Larson: That's just not who you are.
• Lara: [expression changes] I'm not who you think I am.

[Natla is on trial, watched in a vision by Lara]

• Qualopec: But it is my face you will see in your nightmares.
• Tihocan: What have you to say for yourself?
• Natla: The gods favour action not council.
• Qualopec: And yet it is this council that rules over you today.
• Natla: You rule over nothing. Atlantis is in ruin. Nothing can change that. Everything must burn! Only then can the Seventh Age begin.
• Qualopec: You choose a path of madness. I wash my hands of you.
• Tihocan: For your treachery when using the knowledge of the Scion to unleash our armies against us, I expel you forever from the sacred Order of the Three and condemn you to shame in the frozen limbo of eternity.
• Natla: It cannot be stopped. The Wheels of Kathar are already in motion. Doom will find you both while I rise from the dust of your bones to finish what I started.

[Natla is deep frozen as Tihocan and Qualopec chant.]

• Natla: What have you really accomplished here? Nothing, but a temporary stay of execution for your kind! This island is just one remnant of Atlantis; I will find another! But you, Lara, have lost EVERYTHING!

[Lara and Natla fight, which ends with Lara grappling one of the pillars down on top of Natla]

• Lara: No, I haven't.

Underworld - Tomb Raider IX

[Lara opens a door with Thor's first gauntlet.]

• Lara: I can see where the rumours of Thor's godlike strength come from.

[Zip either pushes Winston back and shoots at Lara]

• Zip: Look out!
• Winston: Stop! It's Lara!
• Zip: I know!
• Lara: Wait!

[She dodges the shots again, and then points her pistols at him.]

• Lara: Drop it, Zip, or I'll drop you!
• Zip: What, so you can shoot me again?
• Winston: It wasn't Lara. Why would she set fire to her own home?
• Zip: She got into the vault. It had to be her.
• Lara: Is that what happened here? Someone blew upon the vault?
• Zip: All right, say it wasn't you. Someone who looked a hell a lot like you opened it using the retina scanner.
• Lara: Impossible.
• Zip: Exactly.
• Lara: Then what happened?
• Zip: You... she got away with Amanda's Wraith Stone.
• Lara: Where is Alister?
• Winston: We haven't seen him.
• Lara: I'm gonna to the Tech Room to watch the security video. You two get out before the roof comes down.

[Lara is in the tech room and suddenly realizes the doppelganger is on the other side of the glass.]

• Lara: No...

[The doppelganger shoots Alister]

• Lara: No!

[Lara opens the room's doors and tries to fight the thing, but fails. After it escapes, Lara goes to Alister]

• Lara: Alister!
• Alister: I feel... bloody awful.
• Lara: Shhh... Just lie still.
• Alister: I'll see... you...
• Lara: Alister, hold on!
• Alister: ...see you... in... Avalon.

[He dies.]

• Lara: Damnit!

[Lara, Zip and Winston escape the burning Manor. Lara paces the grounds, frustrated.]

• Zip: Ahh. No!

[Winston exams Alister's neck to see if he is still alive, but he is dead.]

• Zip: What the hell was that thing?
• Lara: I've only seen something like it once before - a doppelganger that Natla sent after me years ago, but that one didn't have a mind of its own.
• Winston: But how could Natla have sent it if she's Amanda's prisioner?
• Lara: They're a team of sorts now. Amanda and Natla, her pet Atlantean god.
• Zip: What are we going to do?
• Lara: After I deal with the authorities, I'm going to Southern Mexico to retrieve Thor's Belt.
• Zip: What?! Alister is dead! And... It's just... business as usual?!
• Lara: I need Thor's belt to get his hammer, and I need the hammer to kill a god.

[Lara returns to the imprisoned Natla, again in the hold of a ship]

• Lara: Avalon, Helheim, I don't care what it's called. Where is it?
• Natla: Look at all you have done. Incredible. I will never doubt you again.
• Lara: Tell me, now!
• Natla: Very well.

[Natla writes something in letters of fire with her finger.]

• Natla: But, before you put me to death, tell me: are you prepared to wait for Odin to appear and perform the ritual to open Helheim?
• Lara: And you know this ritual, of course.
• Natla: I'm sure you've realized that I want to get to Avalon just as much as you do. But neither of us can go alone. You need my ritual and I need you hammer.
• Lara: If... no, when you step out of line, you'll get it,

[Lara finds her mother, who is looking down at the Eitr.]

• Lara: Mother? It's me! It's Lara!

[Amelia looks at Lara. She has become a half rotted thing, maybe a Thrall.]

• Lara: No. No, no, no. My mother is dead. My mother died a long time ago. You are not my mother.

[Amelia stumbles forward, reaching out for Lara, who takes her pistols and shoots Amelia until she falls backwards in the Eitr. Natla appears suddenly]

• Natla: I've lived so many times longer than your entire civilization, and I've never seen such delicious irony.
• Lara: You seem to forgotten what I would be holding.

[Lara tries to strike Natla with Thor's hammer and is stopped by the Doppleganger]

• Natla: When I made this creature for Amanda, she had no idea my true purpose was to have the means to destroy you at this very moment. The two of you never suspected that you were mere actors in my play. And so it ends.

• Lara: Shut it down!
• Natla: Lara! Unexpected, but I'm glad you're here. You should be allowed to see the fruits of your labor.
• Lara: That's the Midgard Serpent?
• Natla: Of course not. Jörmungandr is the network of the tectonic ridges that encircles the earth on the ocean floor. And we stand now on its weakest point, where the ancient supercontinent Pangaea first broke in two.
• Natla: When this relic unleashes its fury below, the very seams of the planet will burst. (She quotes from an Edda;) "The Midgard Serpent will rise up and spew poison into the air, and all the world will be consumed by fire and ash." Ragnarök! The Seventh Age is upon us!"

• Amanda: After killing the Midgard Serpent, Thor dies from its venom anyway.
• Lara: Not if you clear the corridor and get us out of here!

[Amanda tries to use her powers, but fails]

• Amanda: Out of juice, just like Bolivia. The good news is we saved the world. The bad news is now we're going to die here, just like your mother.

[Lara is about to punch Amanda, but stops.]

• Lara: Wait...

[She and Amanda discover a Stone Dais and an Excalibur.]

• Lara: Mother must have tried to use it to escape but didn't know how. If pulling out these artifacts always brings you here, what will happen if I'm already here?
• Amanda: Maybe you'll go to hell.

[Lara sees a section of a pillar is missing. She replaces the missing section so as to active the portal.]

• Lara: Damn it. I can't reach the sword, but you can.
• Amanda: What about you?
• Lara: I can reach you if you hold out your hand.
• Amanda: You trust me?
• Lara: We're out of time, Amanda.

[After deciding whether to help Lara or not, Amanda quickly pulls out the sword and takes Lara's hand.]

• Amanda: Now!

• Lara: So, it's back to this, is it?
• Amanda: What, you think we're even?
• Lara: Would killing me make us even?

[Amanda leaves the room. Lara takes the drawings she left there when she was a child.]

• Lara: Goodbye, Mother. Rest in peace.
