After blowing a hole in the wall with some C4 explosives, Snake peeks
around the corner to see Kenneth Baker, the guy who played R2-D2... erm, I
mean, the President of Arms-Tech, tied
to a fixture in the center of the room, surrounded by cords.
Snake: "Am I too late?"
Baker: "Ooooohhh... Uhh...."
Snake: "He's alive. You're the ArmsTech president Kenneth Baker, right?
Don't worry, I'm here to save you."
Snake reaches out toward one of the cords...
Baker: "No! Don't touch it!"
Snake: "C4!"
PING!
Ocelot: "Right. Touch that wire, and the C4 will blow up, along with the
old man! ... So you're the one the Boss keeps talking about..."
Snake: "And you?"
Ocelot: "Special Operations FOX-HOUND... Revolver Ocelot. I've been
waiting for you, Solid Snake. Now we'll see if the man can live up to the
legend!"
"This is the greatest handgun ever made. The Colt Single Action
Army. Six bullets. More than enough to kill anything that moves. Now I'll
show you why they call me... 'Revolver'"
"Draw!"
Ah, who can forget the first boss battle of Metal Gear Solid? Chasing
Ocelot around the pillars and shooting him while he screams "Agh!Agh!Agh!"
over and over again as he is shot.
If you played this fight in the laughable "The Twin Snakes" remake for
the Nintendo GameCube, then you didn't play the real fight. You probably
just went into first-person view and shot at Ocelot through the pillars -
somehting you couldn't do in the first game because there WAS no first
person view. A perfectly good fight ruined.
Watch out, because Ocelot will twirl around and unload all his six shots
into you when he gets the chance. And he's a great aim.
This is a rather fitting re-enactment for this scene, actually,
considering that the concepts for areas like this in the first Metal Gear
Solid game were actually constructed out of LEGO by the game design team,
to give them some idea as to what they were working toward.
"I love to reload during a battle! There's nothing like the feeling
of slamming a long silver bullet into a well-greased chamber."
"You're pretty good! Just what I'd expect from the man with the same
codename as the Boss. It's been a long time since I've had such a good
fight..."
"but I'm just getting warmed up!"
"Aagh! My hand!!!"
"Stealth camouflage?!"
"Can't you even die right? You were lucky! We'll meet again!"
Snake: "Who are you?!"
Ninja: "I am like you... I have no name."
Baker: "Ugghhh... That... That exoskeleton!"
Ninja: "GYAAAAGHH!!!"
BOOM!
"Oomf!"
"Gyaaggh!!!"
Snake: "Who the hell...?"
Snake: "Can you talk?"
Baker: "Who are you?"
Snake: "I'm not one of them. The DARPA Chief told me he gave them his
detonation code. What about yours?"
Baker: "Oohh, I get it. Jim sent you! You're from the Pentagon."
Snake: "Answer my question! What about the code? There's no time!"
Baker: "I... talked."
Snake: "What! Now the terrorists have both codes and can launch at any
time!"
Baker: "I never had any training on how to resist torture..."
Snake: "It looks like he had some fun with you all right."
Baker: "He's not human. I tell you he loved every second of it..."
Snake: "What happened to your arm?"
Baker: "He broke it."
Snake: "Looks like you're more than even now. His was sliced off."
Baker: "Ha. You're a funny man. So... the DARPA Chief... is he okay?"
Snake: "Dead."
Baker: "What!? It can't be! You know, that's not what you promised, Jim!
Now you want to shut me up!"
Snake: "Calm down! What's wrong with you? I just told you I was here to
save you! I didn't kill the DARPA Chief. He had a heart attack or
something..."
Baker: "A heart attack? Oh, don't be a fool..."
Snake: "Anyway, the terrorists have both codes now."
Baker: "Here, this is what you came for, right?"
Snake: "What's that?"
Baker: "An optical disk. It's all here. The main hard drive was destroyed
by gunfire. This is the only remaining copy of the data."
Snake: "What kind of data?"
Baker: "All the data collected from this exercise. Don't play dumb. I know
you were sent to get this. I hid it from that sadistic maniac while he was
torturing me. They don't know that this disk exists. Make sure that you
report this to Jim...to your boss. I'll give you my card too. It'll open
up all security level 2 doors."
Snake: "Huh!?"
Baker: "What...what did you do to me!? Uh... Oooh.. No!.. Ooh Oh no, It
can't be! ...those Pentagon bastards! ...So they... they actually went and
did it...!"
Snake: "What are you talking about!"
Baker: "They...they're just...using you for... uuuhhh... Uuuuhhh..."
Snake: "What the hell?"
