Death Battle Quotes
- Just one?
- Thanks, Otacon. Piece of cake.
- Where's the data?
- I'm not alone. Someone beat me to the intel and destroyed the source. Think he's with Praying Mantis? Raven Sword?
- I already got it covered.
- Do I need to go over this again? A cardboard box is a very important tool for infiltration missions. It's ideal for fooling the enemy.
- Otacon, I'm not exaggerating when I say the success of my mission hinges on how I use this cardboard box. But in the end, a cardboard box... is only made of paper.
- Otacon, I've got the intel.
- Piece of cake.
