Mass Effect 2 (2010 Video Game)

Brandon Keener: Garrus Vakarian

Quotes 

• Garrus Vakarian : Do you ever miss those talks we had on the elevators?

  Tali'Zorah : No.

  Garrus Vakarian : Come on. Remember how we'd always ask you about life on the flotilla? It was an opportunity to share!

  Tali'Zorah : This conversation is over.

  Garrus Vakarian : Tell me again about your immune system.

  Tali'Zorah : I have a shotgun.

  Garrus Vakarian : Mmmmaybe we'll talk later.

• Commander Shepard : I couldn't do this without you, Garrus.

  Garrus Vakarian : Sure you could. Not as stylishly, of course.

• Commander Shepard : Have you got a minute?

  Garrus Vakarian : Can it wait for a bit? I'm in the middle of some calibrations.

• Commander Shepard : [discussing 'sparring']  So when should I book the room?

  Garrus Vakarian : I'd wait if you're OK with it. Disrupt the crew a little as possible. Take that last chance to find some calm just before the storm. You know me, always like to savor that last shot before popping the heatsink.

  [Shepard gives Garrus a knowing smirk] 

  Garrus Vakarian : Wait... that metaphor just went somewhere horrible.

• Commander Shepard : What do you think our chances are Garrus?

  Garrus Vakarian : Honestly? The Collectors have killed you once, and all it seems to have done is piss you off so...

• Commander Shepard : I need Grunt back up to speed. What's wrong with him?

  Urdnot Wrex : There's nothing wrong with him. He's becoming a full adult.

  Garrus Vakarian : Adolescence? Can't we just take him to Omega and buy him a few dances?

• Garrus Vakarian : [When bringing Garrus to Mordin's recruitment mission]  A quarantine zone for a plague that kills turians. Why don't we ever go anywhere nice?

• Garrus Vakarian : I remember this one mission, me and this recon scout had been at each other's throats, nerves mostly. She suggested we settle it in the ring.

  Commander Shepard : I take it you went easy on her?

  Garrus Vakarian : Actually, she and I were the two best hand to hand combatants on the ship. I had reach, she had flexibility. It was brutal. After 9 rounds, the judges declared it a draw. A lot of unhappy bettors in the other room. We, uh, ended up having a tiebreaker in her quarters. I had reach, she had flexibility. More than one way to work off stress, I guess...

• Commander Shepard : You're awfully anxious to get Samara out of your district.

  Detective Anaya : My bosses want me to detain her. They're worried she'll cause some kind of cross-species incident. But her Justicar Code won't let her be taken into custody. If I try it, she'll have to kill me. I have no interest in dying, so if you lure her away with some big noble cause before I have to carry out my orders, I'm thrilled to help you.

  Commander Shepard : Your superiors are sending you to certain death for no good reason. You have a right to disobey.

  Garrus Vakarian : We can disobey suicidal orders? Why wasn't I told?

  Tali'Zorah : That's about twice a day.

• Jacob Taylor : Commander. We've done what we could for Garrus, but he took a bad hit. The docs corrected with surgical procedures and some cybernetics. Best we can tell, he'll have full functionality, but...

  [Garrus enters the room] 

  Garrus Vakarian : Shepard.

  Jacob Taylor : Tough son of a bitch. Didn't think he'd be up yet.

  Garrus Vakarian : Nobody would give me a mirror. How bad is it?

  Commander Shepard : They did what they could, but you're going to have some scars. I'm sorry.

  Garrus Vakarian : Some women find facial scars attractive. Mind you, most of these women are Krogan.

• Jacob Taylor : Commander. We've done what we could for Garrus, but he took a bad hit. The docs corrected with surgical procedures and some cybernetics. Best we can tell, he'll have full functionality, but...

  [Garrus walks in] 

  Garrus Vakarian : Shepard.

  Jacob Taylor : Tough son of a bitch. Didn't think he'd be up yet.

  Garrus Vakarian : Nobody would give me a mirror. How bad is it?

  Commander Shepard : Hell, Garrus, you were always ugly. Slap some face-paint on there, and no one will even notice.

  Garrus Vakarian : Ha-ah! Don't make me laugh, damn it. My face is barely holding together as it is. Ah, probably for the best. Everyone was always ignoring you and hitting on me. Time for you to get a fair shot at it.

• Garrus Vakarian : And here I thought I had had my one betrayal and attempted murder for this year.

• Garrus Vakarian : [after dodging an explosion]  Definitely like old times.

• Harkin : Wait! I can't just give client information away! It's bad for business.

  Garrus Vakarian : You know what else is bad for business?

  [Garrus kicks Harkin in the face and rests a foot on his throat] 

  Garrus Vakarian : A broken neck!

• Garrus Vakarian : Over the years I've grown used to the smell of burning bodies. That's probably a bad sign.

  Grunt : Anyone else hungry? No?

  Garrus Vakarian : You might want to keep comments like that to yourself, Grunt. Krogans are unpopular enough already.
