Mass Effect 3 (2012 Video Game)
Ike Amadi: Javik - From Ashes DLC, Prothean VI
Quotes
-
Javik : Stand amongst the ashes of a trillion dead souls and ask the ghosts if honor matters.
-
Javik : I told Liara that Protheans invented electricity. Heh heh. Asari will believe anything.
-
Dr. Liara T'Soni : I've written over a dozen studies on your species. I've published in several journals...
Javik : Amusing. Asari have finally mastered writing.
-
Javik : You there. Tattooed human. I would like to touch you.
Jack : I'm not nearly drunk enough for that.
Javik : You then, shuttle pilot? How about you?
Lieutenant Steve Cortez : Um... Why's Javik getting all touchy-feely?
Jack : Hey, Collector-looking asshole, maybe go touch yourself?
Javik : That does not happen until the end of the party.
-
Urdnot Wrex : I appreciate the assist, Garrus.
Garrus Vakarian : Figured you'd gone soft sitting on your throne. Forgot how to hold a gun.
Javik : He wouldn't be king then, would he?
Urdnot Wrex : Who's that?
Commander Shepard - Male : He's a prothean.
Urdnot Wrex : Sometimes I'm not sure if the Normandy's a war ship or a travelling freak show.
-
Javik : I believe the Zaeed human is a Prothean in disguise. I like that one. He and I have discussed conquering the galaxy after the Reapers are gone. Though I do not understand why he is always "damning" his god.
-
Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : So you're a real living prothean?
Javik : As opposed to a fake dead one?
[silence]
Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : Uh... okay.
-
Garrus Vakarian : Everybody was fighting the Rachni, trying to push them back through the relay. Finally the Krogan were turned loose and stopped them.
Javik : I see.
Garrus Vakarian : But when the Krogan rebelled, we had to deploy the genophage to stop them. Wasn't the only rebellion. A thousand years later, the Geth revolted against the Quarians. That was a whole other war. Then along came the humans. My own people tangled with them for a while. And now, to top it all off, we've got the Reapers. What about you?
Javik : The Oravores fought the Densorin. The Enduromi conquered the Vandomar. And the Zha'til turned against the Zha.
Garrus Vakarian : So... I guess nobody really ever gets their act together.
Javik : The Synril claimed to have found the path to eternal peace.
Garrus Vakarian : What happened?
Javik : The Ditakur preferred war and wiped them out.
Garrus Vakarian : I hope you guys had alcohol.
-
Javik : This has been... amusing.
Commander Shepard - Male : Oh?
Javik : To discover that the most primitive races of my time now rule the galaxy. The asari, the humans, the turians...
Dr. Liara T'Soni : There's also the salarians.
Javik : The lizard people evolved?
Dr. Liara T'Soni : I believe they're amphibian.
Javik : They used to eat flies.
-
Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : I appreciate what you're doing here, Shepard.
Commander Shepard - Male : Well, I care deeply about the Quarian people.
Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : It's good to be back on the Normandy.
Commander Shepard - Male : Let me know if it's too quiet for you to sleep, and I'll find you someplace louder.
Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : Hmmm...
Javik : I don't understand.
EDI : Shepard and Tali became physically intimate during their fight against the Reapers.
Javik : Mating between species? A pointless exercise.
Commander Shepard - Male : Thank you, EDI.
-
Dr. Liara T'Soni : Incredible. The beacon seems to think you're Prothean, Shepard. It must be the Cipher you got back on Feros years ago.
Javik : Or it could be the Prothean standing next to you.
-
Javik : Your "Joker" pilot insists I call myself "Prothy the Prothean." I insisted he allow me to throw him out the airlock.
-
Lt. James Vega : So... Prothean, huh?
Javik : Yes.
Lt. James Vega : You guys like to drink? Booze it up?
Javik : No.
Lt. James Vega : Okay. What about gambling? Play cards?
Javik : Games of chance were punishable by death in the empire.
Lt. James Vega : Oh, sure, sure. That seems... reasonable.
-
Javik : And one day, the Prothean empire will rise again! And all the primitives will kneel before Javik!
-
Javik : I heard about the events on Tuchanka. You should not have let the Turian soldier evade his responsibility.
Commander Shepard - Male : I take it Protheans didn't forgive many mistakes?
Javik : If he had been under my command, I would have marooned him in the desert, buried him in sand up to his neck, and let the wildlife feast on his eyes. If he had survived that, I would have rewarded him by shooting him in the head.
-
Urdnot Wrex : I prefer my salarian liver served raw!
[the salarian soldiers glare at Wrex]
Javik : He is correct. It was a... delicacy in our cycle.
-
Javik : Your asari continues to question me. I'm beginning to wish her kind had never learned to talk.
-
Javik : In my cycle, this many species together was called a slave auction- I mean, a "Welcome-to-the-empire party".
-
[regarding traitors]
Javik : In our cycle, we would remove their limbs one by one and offer them a choice: eat their own flesh or starve.
-
Javik : [Seeing Elijah Khan's dead body] He has a bigger hole than your council's defense plan.
-
[after killing a Banshee on Thessia]
Dr. Liara T'Soni : I still can't face those things... my own people...
Javik : When we fought the Reapers, they turned our own children against us.
Dr. Liara T'Soni : I can't imagine that.
Javik : They assumed we would hesitate to kill them.
Commander Shepard - Male : Did you?
Javik : What answer would you prefer?
Dr. Liara T'Soni : None. Let's stop talking about this.

[Joker challenges Cortez to a drinking contest]
Lieutenant Steve Cortez : You're in for a rough time, Moreau. Vega and I are neck-and-neck when it comes to holding liquor.
Jeff 'Joker' Moreau : Oh, yeah? Here we go, shot one.
[Cortez takes the shot]
Lieutenant Steve Cortez : Ugh! What the hell is that? Tastes like the north end of a southbound goat!
Garrus Vakarian : Bad move, Cortez. He wanted the duel, and he also picked the weapon.
Jeff 'Joker' Moreau : I brought my own batch, bro! Three parts horse choker and one part antiseptic mouthwash.
Lieutenant Steve Cortez : That's not even a drink!
Jeff 'Joker' Moreau : And yet here are our second shots... unless you wanna give up?
Urdnot Wrex : Ah, this is all over. I'm gonna find a gun and let a few rounds off.
Javik : I am sober enough. I will join you.
Jeff 'Joker' Moreau : Have fun, try not to kill the neighbors. Cortez?
Lieutenant Steve Cortez : [sighs] Gimme your damn horse choker.
[takes the shot]
Lieutenant Steve Cortez : Mother of God, you are going nowhere near the shooting range, just make it stop!
Jeff 'Joker' Moreau : Yeah, I think we're done here.

[Shepard walks in on Liara and Javik arguing after the fall of Thessia]
Dr. Liara T'Soni : Those were all lies back there!
Javik : They were not.
Dr. Liara T'Soni : My people weren't animals for your kind to experiment on!
Javik : You wanted to know more about your history, asari. Now you do.
Dr. Liara T'Soni : [as her biotic field glows threateningly] I have a name! It's Liara T'Soni! And I'd appreciate you using it from now on!
[Shepard interrupts]
Commander Shepard - Male : Hey, settle down!
Dr. Liara T'Soni : My home was just destroyed, and all he can do is gloat!
Commander Shepard - Male : Given what's happened today, I think you owe Liara an apology, Javik.
Javik : Apologize for the truth?
Dr. Liara T'Soni : For not doing more! You're a Prothean! You were supposed to have all the answers! How could you not stop this from happening?
Javik : We believed you would.
[Liara looks at Shepard, and her biotic field disappears]
Javik : Long ago we saw the potential in your people. Even then, it was obvious. The wisdom, the patience. You were the best hope for this cycle. So you were... guided, when necessary.
Dr. Liara T'Soni : [sadly] Well, it didn't work.
Javik : You're still alive, aren't you? Your world may have fallen, but as long as even one asari is left standing, the fight isn't over.
Dr. Liara T'Soni : I guess that goes for Protheans, too.
Javik : Despair is the enemy's greatest weapon. Do not let them wield it... Liara T'Soni.
[Liara gives a half-smile, then leaves]
Commander Shepard - Male : That was... unexpected. Thank you.
Javik : We still need her talents. If grief overcomes her, she will be lost to us.
Commander Shepard - Male : So did you actually mean what you said?
Javik : Does it matter?
Commander Shepard - Male : Liara means a great deal to me. It matters.
Javik : Then I will tell you what you want to hear. I meant what I said.
[he turns away]
Commander Shepard - Male : Carry on.
-
[while fighting Cerberus Phantoms]
Lt. James Vega : I just gotta say... swords? Seriously?
Javik : Do not fear the weapon. Fear the one wielding it.
Lt. James Vega : That's what I love about you, Buggy. You're like Sun Tzu, with more eyes.
