Quotes 

• Austin Buckell : [inside Conning Tower, during the first quarantine sequence]  I'm reading a quarantine. Are you all right, Isaac?

  Isaac Clarke : [fighting Necromorphs amid country music blaring on the intercom]  No, not really! I'm locked in!

  Austin Buckell : Well, there must be an override on one of the walls.

  Isaac Clarke : Okay. I'll look once I'm not being - *stabbed in the face!*

• Isaac Clarke : [during the mining drill situation]  Now what?

  Sgt. John Carver : *You're* the rocket scientist; you tell *me!*

  Isaac Clarke : [offended]  Hey, I work on *ships,* not - giant *drills!* Just - look for an override!

  Sgt. John Carver : What the fuck is *that?*

• Sgt. John Carver : [after freeing the giant mining drill]  A-haha! Now we're gettin' somewhere - !

  [the drill starts moving toward the pair, sparks flying]

  [Necromorphs enter the drilling area] 

  Isaac Clarke : Stay out of it's path!

  Sgt. John Carver : No shit!

• Isaac Clarke : ["Chapter 1: Rude Awakening" - after accidentally causing several unmanned transports to crash with his Stasis module]  Oops.

• Isaac Clarke : Oh no... no... We've got it all wrong... This isn't the Marker homeworld! The aliens, they... they found the Markers, just like us - and it spread! It consumed them, it... it pulled their bodies into the sky to form the final stage... Oh my god! The moon... The Moon is the source of the Marker Signal, not the Machine! The Moon IS Convergence! The aliens, they... they built the Machine to freeze the planet - to keep the Moon from becoming whole! If the Machine shuts down, everything thaws and Convergence has resumed! Not just here - but everywhere the Markers have spread!

  John Carver : [radio; interrupting]  They *didn't* survive. They got turned into those... *things.*

  Captain Robert Norton : [radio; reeling from the unexpected info]  ... who - okay, what... what do we do?

  Isaac Clarke : You keep your weapon ready, and you stay the *hell* away from the ventilation ducts. If they get close, shoot for the limbs. You got that?

  [Beat] 

  Isaac Clarke : [urgently]  I said, do you got that?

  John Carver : [radio]  Yeah, yeah - okay! Okay!

  [cuts out] 

• Isaac Clarke : ["Chapter 2: On Your Own" - in the C.M.S. Roanoke; finding a roomful of coffins]  Geezus... Coffins everywhere. Looks like some kind of funeral...

  Sgt. John Carver : Executions.

  Isaac Clarke : Why do you say that?

  Sgt. John Carver : The bloodstains on the walls are about head height.

  Isaac Clarke : [Beat]  That's no good.

• Isaac Clarke : ["Chapter 4: History's Ember" - after reuniting with Ellie and learning of her new relationship with Cpt. Norton]  You could've warned me about Ellie and the captain.

  Ellie Langford : The world is ending, and all you can think about is us?

  Isaac Clarke : Damn right! I never gave up on you!

  Ellie Langford : Oh, no! You gave up on the world!

  Isaac Clarke : Hey, I paid my dues! Or don't you think I'm fucked up enough already?

  Ellie Langford : Isaac, this is do-or-die! We're stuck without your help!... Are you with me?

  Isaac Clarke : [brief pause; still annoyed]  Doesn't look like I have a choice.

  Sgt. John Carver : [puts it away]  My boy.

  Isaac Clarke : Cute kid. Did you leave him behi...

  Sgt. John Carver : [interrupts]  He's dead. Danik killed him, and his mother.

  Isaac Clarke : [surprised]  ... I'm sorry.

  Sgt. John Carver : [picking up his rifle]  Yeah. Don't be. We're not friends.

• Sgt. John Carver : [from the official reveal trailer]  Let's get one thing straight, Clarke: we came to this frozen shithole to stop the Markers, and *nothing* - not *you*, or your obsession with Ellie - is gonna get in my way. You got that?

  Isaac Clarke : I know why *I'm* doin' this. Do you?

  Captain Robert Norton : [picks up photos of Isaac and Ellie; to Carver]  It's him.

  Isaac Clarke : Who the hell are you?

  Captain Robert Norton : Lift him up. Up.

  Captain Robert Norton : [to Isaac]  I don't have a lot of time, so I'm gonna make this brief. I understand you're something of an expert on Markers. You created one...

  Isaac Clarke : I didn't make *shit*! Your government made me!

  Captain Robert Norton : [continuing]  And you destroyed two. Which is why we're here. We've got a job for you.

  Isaac Clarke : No. No! I'm done with that. You find somebody else for your suicide mission!

  Captain Robert Norton : We did. And before we lost contact with her...

  Captain Robert Norton : [holds up photo of Ellie]  She told us to find you.

  Isaac Clarke : [tries to grab photo]  Ellie. Where is she? What d'you to her? *Where is she?*

  [an explosion from outside gets their attention] 

  EarthGov soldier : Unitologists have breached the inner concourse! We can' hold them!

  Sgt. John Carver : Cap'n! Runnin' outta time, gotta go.

  Captain Robert Norton : She's out there all alone, Isaac. And I can't help her unless you help me.

  [Another explosion lights the room up] 

  Isaac Clarke : [giving in]  ... Okay.

  [breaks free of Carver] 

  Isaac Clarke : *Okay!*

• Captain Robert Norton : ["Chapter 2: On Your Own" - as the Eudora is caught in a swarm of mines; Isaac and Carver find Cpt. Norton trying to free Rosen and Locke from a room]  Isaac! Carver! Goddammit, gimme a hand here!

  [Isaac breaks a welding tool from a wall cabinet] 

  Isaac Clarke : [handing the tool to Norton]  Here! Grab some of that paneling, and seal up that doorway!

  Captain Robert Norton : Since when're you givin' the orders?

  Isaac Clarke : [the ship shakes from another mine]  Since nobody else has a fuckin' plan! Look, I'll explain as I go!

  Isaac Clarke : [turns to Carver]  Carver! Where can I find an E.V.A. suit?

  Isaac Clarke : [Before Carver answers, another mine hits the Eudora]  Carver!

  Sgt. John Carver : [points down the hallway]  Down that way!

• Isaac Clarke : ["Chapter 2: On Your Own" - as the room ejects itself from the Eudora]  Oh, *shiiiit!*

• Isaac Clarke : ["Chapter 2: On Your Own" - as the group flies from the Eudora; Norton steers the room around a giant chunk of debris, only to find that he is about to crash into another chunk]  Hey, watch it, *watch it!*

  Captain Robert Norton : I can't steer around it!

  Isaac Clarke : Then punch through it!

  Captain Robert Norton : [as Isaac closes in on Norton and the room]  Oh no, oh *no* - !

  [Isaac reaches the room just as it crashes through the debris, sending it spinning] 

  Isaac Clarke : [reaching out to grab on]  I got it! *I got it!*

  Captain Robert Norton : [as Isaac grabs on with a yell]  Get it under control!

  Sgt. John Carver : I'm *full thrusters!*

  Isaac Clarke : [hanging on]  It's slowing!

  Captain Robert Norton : [shortly before Isaac lets go, reorienting himself]  Okay, o - okay... There we go.

  Isaac Clarke : Geezus... Let's not do that again.

• Isaac Clarke : ["Chapter 1: Rude Awakening" - while fighting through Unitologist soldiers; to Norton via radio]  Norton! These are Unitologists! Why're they trying to kill us?

  Captain Robert Norton : You! They're trying to kill *you!*

  Isaac Clarke : What - ?

  Captain Robert Norton : Just get out of there and shut your trap!

  [cuts out] 

  Isaac Clarke : Son of a...

  [finds and climbs up a ladder] 

  Isaac Clarke : [switches to visual link w/ Norton]  Why're these fanatics after me?

  Captain Robert Norton : You've destroyed Markers in the past, Isaac. That makes you a direct threat to their plan.

  Isaac Clarke : "Plan"?

  Captain Robert Norton : Some "end time" prophecy, based on the Markers.

  Isaac Clarke : [realizing]  ... Convergence.

  Captain Robert Norton : Yeah. Ellie thinks you can stop it.

  Isaac Clarke : So now she's missing, and they followed you here?

  Captain Robert Norton : [really annoyed]  YES. Now got to the roof of the Dredger Corp. building. There's an extraction team waiting.

• Ellie Langford : ["Chapter 13: Reach For The Sky" - after Isaac climbs up a third mountain while hearing Ellie fighting off Necromorphs]  Isaac! We're okay, we drove it off.

  Isaac Clarke : Oh thank God.

  Ellie Langford : Look, about Robert... I just don't understand why he would try to kill you?

  Isaac Clarke : He blamed me for all the trouble we're in. He kept pushing to go home, I kept pushing to stay.

  Ellie Langford : But the mission is all that matters. I thought Robert understood that.

  Isaac Clarke : Well, I'm here for you. I mean that.
