Otacon: Snake, there's something I've really got to ask you. It's why I followed you up this far...

Otacon: Have you ever... loved someone?

Snake: That's what you came to ask?

Otacon: No, I mean...

Otacon: I... I was wondering if even soldiers fall in love.

Snake: What are you trying to say?

Otacon: I wanna ask you...

Otacon: Do you think love can bloom even on a battlefield?

Snake: Yeah...I do.

Snake: I think at any time, any place... people can fall in love with each other.

Snake: But... if you love someone, you have to be able to protect them...

Otacon: I think so too.
