Ashrah: What hell spawned you?
Ashrah: You will never find out.

Ashrah: You are all that remains of my sins.
Ashrah: The evil within you cannot be destroyed.

Ashrah: Quan Chi is to blame for this.
Ashrah: Who else wields such dark magic?

Ashrah: You also desire absolution?
Ashrah: I seek it with every swipe of my blade.

Ashrah: How is your soul already redeemed?
Ashrah: I am an unrelenting foe of evil.

Ashrah: Together we can rid all realms of evil.
Ashrah: It's a task I must face alone.

Ashrah: You must live in unbearable pain.
Baraka: The suffering makes me stronger.

Ashrah: How did a merchant learn to fight?
Baraka: I was once in Outworld's military.

Ashrah: Kombat won't ease your symptoms.
Baraka: But for a while, I will forget them.

Ashrah: Your kin have forsaken you?
Baraka: Down to the last member of my family.

Ashrah: Scorpion has offered you forgiveness?
Cyrax: Yes. But only if I complete my penance.

Ashrah: If I had been at the Wu Shi that day --
Cyrax: The Lin Kuei are fortunate you were not.

Ashrah: Can anyone operate that armor?
Cyrax: Only after months of training.

Ashrah: Your family remains Lin Kuei?
Cyrax: They have no qualms with Sub-Zero’s vision.

Ashrah: As Quan Chi's creation, you must be destroyed.
Ermac: We are beyond your power, Ashrah.

Ashrah: How did Jerrod lose control of you?
Ermac: He was overwhelmed by the Collection.

Ashrah: You're still loyal to the sorcerer?
Ermac: We no longer obey Quan Chi's will.

Ashrah: Your souls must be returned to the Living Forest
Ermac: An outcome the Collection does not desire.

Ashrah: The sorcerers made you their stooge.
General Shao: And for that, both will pay.

Ashrah: Your father's soul resides in the Netherrealm.
General Shao: Impossible. He died with honor.

Ashrah: Conquest is inherently evil.
General Shao: How can a demon be so naïve?

Ashrah: You fixed your sickly body, but not your sickly heart.
General Shao: Your judgement holds no water, Ashrah.

Ashrah: Was I alive in previous timelines?
Geras: You have sought absolution in all of them.

Ashrah: I have never met a being like you.
Geras: I am unique in all of creation.

Ashrah: I must know, Geras. Is my future set?
Geras: There is no fate but what you make.

Ashrah: Many would envy your eternal life.
Geras: It is not the utopia they think.

Ashrah: I have never come across evil like yours.
Ghostface: And you never will again.

Ashrah: You are so loathsome, so sickening --
Ghostface: What a nice thing to say.

Ashrah: Why seek Seido's downfall?
Havik: Because its 'order' is actually oppression.

Ashrah: What purpose is served by killing innocents?
Havik: Their deaths pave the way for freedom.

Ashrah: The anger in your heart is evil.
Havik: My fury is righteous and pure.

Ashrah: I embrace your cause, not your methods.
Havik: You hypocrite, Ashrah.

Ashrah: You are not yet beyond redemption.
Homelander: A god doesn't need redemption.

Ashrah: Repent your evil or be slain by my kriss.
Homelander: You think you're scary? Adorable.

Ashrah: You have poor taste in disguises.
Johnny Cage: When will you forgive me for that hat?

Ashrah: Your Hollywood is rife with evil.
Johnny Cage: You don't need your kriss to know that.

Ashrah: So you were once married?
Johnny Cage: Amazing anyone would let me go, right?

Ashrah: I will fight without fail until I am absolved.
Johnny Cage: You are truly a wonder, woman.

Ashrah: You fought bravely against Shang Tsung.
Johnny Cage: That's just life imitating art, sweetheart.

Ashrah: I am sorry your ancestors embraced wicked ways.
Kenshi: And I for the centuries of pain they caused.

Ashrah: Can I trust Johnny Cage?
Kenshi: He's got an ego, but he's as good as his word.

Ashrah: Your infirmity doesn't stop you.
Kenshi: Not as long as I wield Sento.

Ashrah: We have a long road ahead.
Kenshi: We'll travel it together, Ashrah.

Ashrah: To save those like him, Syzoth needs you.
Kitana: He has the Crown's backing, Ashrah.

Ashrah: My kriss senses no evil in you at all.
Kitana: That can't possibly be right.

Ashrah: You do not mind living in your sister's shadow?
Kitana: My only ambition is to serve the Empire.

Ashrah: If the Netherrealm can gain a foothold --
Kitana: It won't, as long as I command Outworld's army.

Ashrah: I'm sorry, Kung Lao, but I am spoken for.
Kung Lao: What's Syzoth got that I haven't got?

Ashrah: My lessons with Master Kai go well.
Kung Lao: Has he been teaching you my Leaping Cheetah style?

Ashrah: So you were a farm hand before this?
Kung Lao: From a humble start came greatness.

Ashrah: I've heard a lot about your Madam Bo.
Kung Lao: She is the toughest woman in Fengjian.

Ashrah: Yes, I was with the Earthrealmers that night.
Li Mei: Sun Do's First Constable never forgets a face.

Ashrah: I sense much evil in Sun Do.
Li Mei: Help me rid the city of it, Ashrah.

Ashrah: I admire how you rebuilt your life.
Li Mei: We must make the most of second chances.

Ashrah: Quan Chi is still in Outworld.
Li Mei: If he's in Sun Do, I'll find him.

Ashrah: I actually like Kung Lao's nickname for me.
Liu Kang: Shaolin Demon' is too irreverent.

Ashrah: It is an awesome burden, being Keeper of Time.
Liu Kang: That is why it can drive one mad.

Ashrah: Geras says I have never achieved absolution.
Liu Kang: I intend this timeline to be different.

Ashrah: I am proud to be one of your champions.
Liu Kang: You have earned it, Ashrah.

Ashrah: I sense a jealous heart, Empress.
Mileena: Of whom would I be jealous?

Ashrah: The Order of Light will capture Quan Chi.
Mileena: When you do so, turn him over to me.

Ashrah: There is nothing evil about you and Tanya.
Mileena: There is to those wedded to Umgadi tradition.

Ashrah: The magic that binds Ermac will corrupt your parents' souls.
Mileena: What can be done, Ashrah?

Ashrah: You know of my kriss?
Nitara: There's no Vaeternian who doesn't.

Ashrah: Destroying Vaeternus will assure my ascension!
Nitara: Committing genocide will expiate your sins?

Ashrah: Your kind belong in the Netherrealm.
Nitara: Shall we go to hell together?

Ashrah: Scurry back to the shadows, Nitara.
Nitara: You won't be the one to banish me.

Ashrah: Your conflict with Liu Kang --
Noob Saibot: Would not have happened were he reasonable.

Ashrah: Can you not see that evil has consumed you?
Noob Saibot: Your perception could not be more wrong.

Ashrah: Your soul is in chaos.
Noob Saibot: And is bettered by it, Ashrah.

Ashrah: You will return to the Temple of the Elements.
Noob Saibot: I am never going back.

Ashrah: The realms do not need another conqueror.
Omni-Man: You'll feel differently once I take over.

Ashrah: I, too, have walked in darkness. But I repented.
Omni-Man: Repent all you want, my conscience is clear.

Ashrah: You have a question, Peacemaker?
Peacemaker: Yeah I've *gotta* know. Do demons bump uglies?

Ashrah: There are evil branches in your family tree.
Peacemaker: You can tell that from just looking at me?

Ashrah: You've not an ounce of compassion.
Quan Chi: I have no use for it, Ashrah.

Ashrah: Free my sisters of your bondage.
Quan Chi: Their lives belong to me.

Ashrah: There is no one in the Netherrealm more evil.
Quan Chi: You haven't met Valtik, have you?

Ashrah: It will please me to take your life.
Quan Chi: Spoken like a true demon.

Ashrah: Sareena deserves better than to be your slave.
Quan Chi: I will never grant her freedom, Ashrah.

Ashrah: You sent Moloch and Drahmin to assassinate me?
Quan Chi: Clearly they weren’t up to the task.

Ashrah: Do you ever miss Fengjian?
Raiden: I miss home every day.

Ashrah: Liu Kang has been so generous.
Raiden: Because he understands your true potential.

Ashrah: The Netherrealm horrors defy belief.
Raiden: I can only imagine.

Ashrah: Master Kai says I must defeat you to advance.
Raiden: Then give it your best, Ashrah.

Ashrah: Seido's destruction was an act of pure evil!
Rain: You're not the only one seeking absolution.

Ashrah: If you were to die today, your soul --
Rain: I know where it's going, demon.

Ashrah: Your gift with hydromancy: is it innate?
Rain: It took years of toil to make it look that way.

Ashrah: I could smite you, but I would rather see you redeemed.
Rain: What if the latter proves impossible?

Ashrah: Shao has twisted your virtues beyond recognition.
Reiko: You pontificate on things you don't understand.

Ashrah: What good is there in throwing Outworld into chaos?
Reiko: From it will rise a shining new order.

Ashrah: Each life you take draws your soul closer to the Netherrealm.
Reiko: My motives are no less pure than yours, Ashrah.

Ashrah: The Netherrealm, not Earthrealm, threatens the Empire.
Reiko: Neither is a friend of Outworld!

Ashrah: Must you return to Outworld?
Reptile: Yes, Ashrah. I have been appointed the Empress's emissary.

Ashrah: With you at my side, absolution seems within reach.
Reptile: I'll do whatever I can to help.

Ashrah: If you could become fully human, would you?
Reptile: In my heart, I am Zaterran.

Ashrah: The Order of Light needs you, Syzoth.
Reptile: I know, but my duties lie elsewhere.

Ashrah: Bi-Han can be redeemed.
Scorpion: I don't see how that's possible.

Ashrah: I would see all evil destroyed.
Scorpion: That fire burns with me, too.

Ashrah: How are you like a scorpion?
Scorpion: I have its strength and its sting.

Ashrah: I'd do well to follow your example.
Scorpion: Then start by studying my kombat.

Ashrah: You have a devil's heart, Sektor.
Sektor: Still your lips. You know nothing about me.

Ashrah: The Lin Kuei's course can still be changed.
Sektor: We are far beyond the point of no return.

Ashrah: Your ardor for Bi-Han is --
Sektor: I don't need a demon's advice.

Ashrah: Madam Bo deplores your choices.
Sektor: Then why is my mother not here, fighting me herself.

Ashrah: You can't possibly explain away your evil.
Shang Tsung: How ignorant. You don't know me at all.

Ashrah: Are you not aware that you repulse people?
Shang Tsung: I am, Ashrah. I just don't care.

Ashrah: My kriss will slit your throat.
Shang Tsung: Poor Ashrah. You will be sorely disappointed.

Ashrah: You aren't born of the Netherrealm?
Shang Tsung: Not to the best of my knowledge.

Ashrah: Why do *you* require absolution?
Sindel: Even a good sovereign must occasionally do evil.

Ashrah: I am heartbroken that I could not save the Living Forest.
Sindel: You are not responsible for Quan Chi's crimes.

Ashrah: No Netherrealmer has fought in the tournament?
Sindel: Nor has any ever received an invitation.

Ashrah: Rain's change of heart is genuine.
Sindel: It may not be enough to save him.

Ashrah: Who was it that taught you magic?
Smoke: Xiaoqing, the Lin Kuei's Elder Arcanist.

Ashrah: Your anger with Bi-Han still smolders?
Smoke: Where there's smoke, there's fire.

Ashrah: Liu Kang expects us to defeat Shang Tsung?
Smoke: He won't overcome your sword and my smoke.

Ashrah: Beware of young Hanzo's rage, Tomas.
Smoke: Don't worry. Kuai Liang and I will tame it.

Ashrah: Your path leads only to darkness.
Sub-Zero: A Lin Kuei finds strength in the shadows.

Ashrah: What kind of son betrays his father?
Sub-Zero: One who sees his father's time has passed.

Ashrah: There are many in the Netherrealm just like you.
Sub-Zero: You conflate ambition with evil, Ashrah.

Ashrah: We will break your grip on the Lin Kuei.
Sub-Zero: It will be a cold day in hell before that happens.

Ashrah: There is so much anger inside you.
Takeda: All of it is justified, Ashrah.

Ashrah: I share your zeal for evil's destruction.
Takeda: I didn't expect to hear that from a demon.

Ashrah: Am I your first supernatural opponent?
Takeda: First? There will be more?

Ashrah: The path you tread could corrupt your soul.
Takeda: It's not that much different from yours.

Ashrah: A new evil rises to threaten the royal family.
Tanya: Elaborate, Ashrah.

Ashrah: To save the Empress, you must go with me to Nekros.
Tanya: The city is no myth? It exists?!

Ashrah: You find comfort in the divine.
Tanya: Not just comfort. Purpose.

Ashrah: Things have changed quickly since the Empress's ascension.
Tanya: She's determined to make the most of her rule.

Baraka: When Tarkat takes my mind, you must kill me.
Ashrah: You have my word.

Baraka: So I look like a demon to you?
Ashrah: How many times must I apologize, Baraka?

Baraka: I never wish to see the Netherrealm.
Ashrah: Then keep your soul pure of evil.

Baraka: Will this hasten your absolution?
Ashrah: This one is just for fun.

Baraka: You're not diseased?
Baraka: Diseased?! I was born this way!

Baraka: My Tarkatans aren't like yours.
Baraka: Then they'll be meat for the tribe.

Baraka: My people are hemmed in like cattle.
Baraka: Mine freely roam the Kuatan Plains.

Baraka: Every day, I'm more feral than the last.
Baraka: We are doomed to become monsters, Baraka.

Baraka: Teermakus?! Is that you?
Baraka: I now share your affliction, Brother.

Baraka: Seeing you reminds me how ugly I've become.
Baraka: There's a reason we don't own mirrors.

Baraka: What magic powers your armor?
Cyrax: It is called electricity, Baraka.

Baraka: Thank you for this fight.
Cyrax: Anything to help ease your symptoms.

Baraka: If Shao's troops ever get armor like this --
Cyrax: The danger is not lost on me, Baraka.

Baraka: Jerrod's and Sindel's souls are both inside you?
Ermac: Though neither of them rule us, Baraka.

Baraka: I've never met anyone like you.
Ermac: We are unique in the universe.

Baraka: You wish to reside in the colony?
Ermac: While among you, we will not be disturbed.

Baraka: When we last fought, you nearly killed me.
Ermac: We are no longer that being, Baraka.

Baraka: And to think I once proudly served you.
General Shao: It's to your shame you don't again.

Baraka: As a soldier, I swore the same oath you did.
General Shao: But clearly only I remember what it means.

Baraka: To win, you'd tear Outworld down?
General Shao: To its foundations, if I have to.

Baraka: I doubt any Tarkatan would follow you.
General Shao: How poorly you know your people, Baraka.

Baraka: Why does Liu Kang let good people suffer?
Geras: Not even he controls everything, Baraka.

Baraka: How was my disease cured in prior timelines.
Geras: It wasn't. It didn't exist.

Baraka: If Liu Kang expects me to pray to him --
Geras: He wishes nothing of the kind.

Baraka: Tarkat is a cruel fate, Geras.
Geras: As Liu Kang has told you, we cannot cure it.

Baraka: It's your turn to be scared.
Ghostface: Why? I'm the monster here.

Baraka: I'll tear that mask and cloak to shreds.
Ghostface: That's the spirit, Baraka.

Baraka: You're giving my people bad ideas.
Havik: I'm teaching them to fight for their freedom!

Baraka: Stay away from the colony, Havik.
Havik: You've no right to give me orders.

Baraka: Your chaos is even worse than Tarkat.
Havik: Since when is freedom a disease?

Baraka: I can smell the blood on your hands.
Havik: What you smell is liberation.

Baraka: The colony doesn't want your protection.
Homelander: Good. 'Cause I'm gonna burn it down instead.

Baraka: I can smell the false victimhood from here.
Homelander: What are you, a therapist?

Baraka: You're late, Earthrealmer.
Johnny Cage: Not my fault! My train to Busan got delayed.

Baraka: If Shang Tsung comes for me, I'll shred him to pieces.
Johnny Cage: You got some big ass maracas, Baraka.

Baraka: Why do Earthrealmers idolize you?
Johnny Cage: I'm just a big old pile of sexy goodness.

Baraka: Don't return to Outworld.
Johnny Cage: Why? Am I driving the ladies crazy?

Baraka: I was a tribune in the Empress's army, Cage.
Johnny Cage: And I played soldiers dozens of times. Big whoop.

Baraka: I should've gone with you into Shang Tsung's Laboratory.
Kenshi: That wouldn't have saved my sight, Baraka.

Baraka: You can fight me, without sight?
Kenshi: With Sento, I can.

Baraka: It's been said: better to be blind than to see a Tarkatan.
Kenshi: That's a horrible saying, Baraka.

Baraka: How will this fight aid your efforts?
Kenshi: I'll leave it better trained to battle the Yakuza.

Baraka: If the Empress fails me, there will be blood.
Kitana: You must be patient, Baraka.

Baraka: There are still those who deny that Tarkat exists.
Kitana: Some minds can never be opened, Baraka.

Baraka: If you need an executioner --
Kitana: Shang Tsung will die by the Crown's hands.

Baraka: The Empress wants to honor me?
Kitana: Much overdue recognition for your service as tribune.

Baraka: If the bloodlust consumes me, I'll lose control.
Kung Lao: This will be over before it gets that far.

Baraka: Picture your entire village, killed in an instant.
Kung Lao: Tarkat can kill that quickly?

Baraka: You're too young to be so arrogant.
Kung Lao: Whatever pride I have, I have earned.

Baraka: Remember who saved you from vivisection.
Kung Lao: How could I forget?

Baraka: I long for the days when I could serve the Empire.
Li Mei: You serve through the sacrifice you're making now.

Baraka: You shouldn't be this close.
Li Mei: If I was going to catch Tarkat, it would've happened by now.

Baraka: The constables I knew growing up were fierce.
Li Mei: Little has changed, Baraka.

Baraka: Those who preyed on my illness haven't faced justice.
Li Mei: Name them, and it will be done.

Baraka: As my creator, you're to blame for my affliction.
Liu Kang: It was an unforeseen consequence, Baraka.

Baraka: If you're a god, then cure me.
Liu Kang: I did not give myself that power.

Baraka: You owe me for saving your minions.
Liu Kang: Did we not free you of Shang Tsung's depredations?

Baraka: What are the odds I'd meet a demi-god?
Liu Kang: Let alone fight one.

Baraka: You still need our help, Empress.
Mileena: Your demands best not be extortionate, Baraka.

Baraka: Many oppose your mercy toward my kind.
Mileena: Rest assured, their threats won't stop me.

Baraka: Eventually, Tarkat will take your mind.
Mileena: If I succumb before you, kill me.

Baraka: Was Shang Tsung close to a cure?
Mileena: He could only treat my symptoms.

Baraka: Outworlders hate your kind even more than they hate mine.
Nitara: Which is why *we* should be allies.

Baraka: Vaeternians feel no guilt for the suffering they cause?
Nitara: We only do what we need to survive!

Baraka: My father died in the Battle of Chesna Fields.
Nitara: No wonder you despise us, Baraka.

Baraka: I will kill you for aiding Shang Tsung.
Nitara: You'll die before having vengeance, Baraka.

Baraka: Still you stand against us.
Noob Saibot: I won't allow Tarkat to spread.

Baraka: You are Sub-Zero?
Noob Saibot: I am no longer.

Baraka: Tarkatans are victims, not beasts.
Noob Saibot: Which doesn't change what must be done.

Baraka: You confront a Daybreaker, Earthrealmer.
Noob Saibot: Which doesn't worry me in the least.

Baraka: You smell of old blood and dark wars.
Omni-Man: That should make you very, very afraid.

Baraka: Tarkat makes me no less worthy an opponent.
Omni-Man: I won't tolerate you spreading that plague.

Baraka: I deserve respect, not scorn.
Peacemaker: I respect you. I just can't look at you.

Baraka: You couldn't live a day in my shoes.
Peacemaker: Why would I want to?

Baraka: It was you who built Shang Tsung's vivisection chambers!
Quan Chi: Who else could devise such a treasure?

Baraka: I'm here to infect you, not kill you.
Quan Chi: You can do neither, Baraka.

Baraka: Beg for your life, sorcerer.
Quan Chi: As if I fear you, Baraka.

Baraka: Wish to say anything before you die?
Quan Chi: I have no intention of dying here.

Baraka: My appearance scares you.
Raiden: I'd be lying if I said otherwise.

Baraka: If I lose control, I could kill you.
Raiden: I'll take the risk, Baraka.

Baraka: Your friend is full of himself.
Raiden: Do you mean Johnny or Kung Lao?

Baraka: So you beat Shao in the tournament.
Raiden: I was fortunate things went my way.

Baraka: You aided Shang Tsung's experiments!
Rain: I thought we were trying to cure your disease.

Baraka: Shang Tsung's anti-Tarkat serum. How is it made?
Rain: If I knew, I would tell you.

Baraka: You're not afraid of catching Tarkat?
Rain: Not when I command cleansing waters.

Baraka: Outworld expects better from its High Mage.
Rain: Even Tarkatans judge me now?

Baraka: Afraid I might make you sick?
Reiko: I am afraid of nothing.

Baraka: I won't forget you helped Shang Tsung.
Reiko: You will when you're dead, Baraka.

Baraka: The new Empress is the first to aid Tarkatans.
Reiko: Which just shows how much a fool she is.

Baraka: You rebels should be rounded up, not Tarkatans.
Reiko: Try as she might, Mileena will fail.

Baraka: Your help freed my people. I must repay you.
Reptile: Start by going easy on me.

Baraka: We'll recapture Shang Tsung together?
Reptile: Before he can hurt anyone else.

Baraka: Zaterra didn't welcome you with open arms
Reptile: Outworlders treat your kind better than Zaterrans treat me.

Baraka: Will you ever forget the terrors you've seen?
Reptile: Shang Tsung's experiments are carved into my memory.

Baraka: You're one of Earthrealm's defenders?
Scorpion: As were my ancestors before me.

Baraka: My blades will taste your flesh!
Scorpion: Calm yourself, Baraka!

Baraka: I wouldn’t wish Tarkat on my worst enemy.
Scorpion: Then help me stop Bi-Han from weaponizing it.

Baraka: How do you know I'll fight fiercely?
Scorpion: Because you have nothing left to lose.

Baraka: Your grandmaster is obsessed with us.
Sektor: Why do you think I'm here?

Baraka: Do all Lin Kuei despise Tarkatans?
Sektor: Not you. The disease your bodies carry.

Baraka: Give my regards to Longwei.
Sektor: You know my father? How?

Baraka: Longwei never told you he trained with Daybreakers?
Sektor: My father keeps to himself.

Baraka: I'll return the pain you've caused me ten-fold!
Shang Tsung: You should aim higher, Baraka.

Baraka: No more experiments, no more hybrids!
Shang Tsung: If you think I'll stop, you're horribly mistaken.

Baraka: You profited from my people's misery!
Shang Tsung: Well, someone should.

Baraka: How do we know *you* didn't create Tarkat?
Shang Tsung: It has been around far longer than I have.

Baraka: Give me one good reason to spare your life.
Shang Tsung: I won't insult you by pretending there are any.

Baraka: This is the last time we cross paths, sorcerer.
Shang Tsung: I shall inform your next of kin.

Baraka: Tarkatan souls are not allowed in the Living Forest.
Sindel: We can't risk infecting the honored dead.

Baraka: Having Tarkat isn't a moral failure.
Sindel: No, but it does evidence a lack of care.

Baraka: An empress should have more compassion.
Sindel: There are limits to everything, Baraka.

Baraka: I risked my life for Outworld, Empress.
Sindel: And you now serve it by living apart.

Baraka: You need seasoning, Smoke.
Smoke: You mean practice, not flavor, right?

Baraka: You Earthrealmers scare easily.
Smoke: Huge fangs do that to us, Baraka.

Baraka: When he's found, Shang Tsung is mine.
Smoke: Giving him Tarkat will solve nothing.

Baraka: If you’re one of Earthrealm’s best, it’s vulnerable.
Smoke: In that, Baraka, you're mistaken.

Baraka: You stood with Shang Tsung?!
Sub-Zero: Because he alone offered unchecked power.

Baraka: Your brother seeks you.
Sub-Zero: I'll leave a trail of your blood to draw him.

Baraka: Your attack will be avenged.
Sub-Zero: I thought your kind welcomed the release of death.

Baraka: You're a cancer on your clan.
Sub-Zero: I am the cure for its mediocrity.

Baraka: Outworld holds dangers you cannot conceive.
Takeda: That is becoming crystal clear.

Baraka: Do you fight like your cousin?
Takeda: I like to think I fight better.

Baraka: You hold Kenshi in low esteem.
Takeda: Who's been saying that?! It isn't true.

Baraka: It is not just the fangs. I have arm blades, too.
Takeda: Arm blades?! What are arm blades?!

Baraka: Is your Order prepared if Tarkat reaches it?
Tanya: We have plans for every contingency.

Baraka: You know the Empress could pass you Tarkat…
Tanya: I am aware of the risk, Baraka.

Baraka: My great aunt was chosen to be Umgadi.
Tanya: If she was like you, she served with distinction.

Baraka: Today I teach you the Daybreak Legion's ways.
Tanya: You'll find me an eager student, Baraka.

Cyrax: I have fought inner demons, never real ones.
Ashrah: You will have to tell me which fight harder.

Cyrax: There are Shirai Ryu that will not accept me.
Ashrah: It is the same for me with some Shaolin.

Cyrax: Who gave you the name Ashrah?
Ashrah: The Demon Mother of Nekros.

Cyrax: Havik's timeline? Now that was hell.
Ashrah: Nothing is as dreadful as the Netherrealm.

Cyrax: The armor should protect me against Tarkat.
Baraka: May Argus have mercy on you if it doesn't.

Cyrax: I have studied your exploits with the Daybreakers.
Baraka: Show me what you've learned.

Cyrax: I hope the Empress can ease your plight.
Baraka: She tries, but there is much to be done.

Cyrax: You've forsaken your Lin Kuei?
Cyrax: Bi-Han's actions left me no choice.

Cyrax: Let's see whose armor is better.
Cyrax: It won't even be close.

Cyrax: The Shirai Ryu should be your sworn enemies.
Cyrax: Keep your timeline's conflicts out of mine.

Cyrax: You are a refugee from Havik's timeline?
Cyrax: I'm here to avenge his defeat.

Cyrax: I sought you out because I --
Ermac: Make no demands of us, Cyrax.

Cyrax: Defeating one is hard. Defeating many --
Ermac: Is unachievable.

Cyrax: I cannot believe Quan Chi let you go.
Ermac: He did not do so willingly.

Cyrax: Your size? Your skill? They won't be enough.
General Shao: You can't possibly believe that.

Cyrax: Your coup wasn't about grievance, it was about power.
General Shao: Which I'd wield better than Sindel or her daughters.

Cyrax: Though we've never met, I already despise you.
General Shao: You'll hate me all the more when I kill you.

Cyrax: Your pitiful rebels are no threat to anyone.
General Shao: If that's so, why are they fled from in fear?

Cyrax: You are eternal? That is impossible.
Geras: As I stand before you, clearly not.

Cyrax: Are you fully recovered from your ordeal?
Geras: Fight me and we shall see.

Cyrax: The conflict between Kuai Liang and Bi-Han --
Geras: Will end in the manner of their choosing.

Cyrax: The threats other timelines pose --
Geras: Shall be overcome by warriors like you.

Cyrax: You are an obscene creature.
Ghostface: The *most* obscene.

Cyrax: I will sleep better when you are dead.
Ghostface: No you won't. I'll haunt your dreams.

Cyrax: You conspire against Earthrealm.
Havik: Only against those who condemn it to order.

Cyrax: No one desires anarchy, Havik.
Havik: Because they've been lied to about its benefits.

Cyrax: Compared to your Titan counterpart, you seem orderly.
Havik: Orderly?! I'll make you choke on that word!

Cyrax: I have had enough chaos for a lifetime.
Havik: Then it's for the best I end yours.

Cyrax: Behind your smile lurks pure evil.
Homelander: You have no idea.

Cyrax: I can't tell which is greater: your self-love or your self-loathing.
Homelander: Oh, I'll give you something to psychoanlyaze.

Cyrax: I am told you're some kind of movie star?
Johnny Cage: I can't…Oh…That was funny.

Cyrax: You are an unusual champion.
Johnny Cage: No, sweetheart. I'm unique.

Cyrax: As men go, you are not unattractive.
Johnny Cage: Not unattractive'?! You mean sexy as fuck!

Cyrax: Your mansion cannot compare to my family's compound.
Johnny Cage: No shit? You gotta send pictures.

Cyrax: Can Sento cut steel?
Kenshi: It won't have to.

Cyrax: Your chaos counterpart was cruel and vicious.
Kenshi: And not at all me, Cyrax.

Cyrax: I am not comfortable with you fighting blind.
Kenshi: I imagine it will be quite painful for you.

Cyrax: Your family's palace is beyond beautiful.
Kitana: Enjoy the memory, for you will not return.

Cyrax: You lead an army, but can you fight.
Kitana: I would be glad to answer that question.

Cyrax: If I had known what Bi-Han was doing --
Kitana: You would have stopped him? I'd like to believe that.

Cyrax: The Empress's ire toward me has cooled?
Kitana: Only slightly, Cyrax.

Cyrax: I hear you are one of the Shaolin's best.
Kung Lao: One of? Ha! Please.

Cyrax: Madam Bo trained you? No wonder you can fight.
Kung Lao: It helps I am a natural talent.

Cyrax: The Shaolin train hard, but we Shirai Ryu --
Kung Lao: Enough preening. Let our kombat do the talking.

Cyrax: How we met was less than ideal.
Kung Lao: That is an understatement.

Cyrax: It cannot be easy, being First Constable.
Li Mei: Thankfully, kombat relieves the stress.

Cyrax: We are both victims of conspiracies.
Li Mei: That fact creates no bond between us.

Cyrax: I loved being Lin Kuei as much as you loved being Umgadi.
Li Mei: I will *always* be Umgadi, Cyrax.

Cyrax: The Lin Kuei are down, but they are not out.
Liu Kang: They are being watched carefully, Cyrax.

Cyrax: You spoke to Kuai Liang about me, didn't you.
Liu Kang: Actually, you have Harumi to thank.

Cyrax: How does a god not expect worship?
Liu Kang: Because I exist to serve, not rule.

Cyrax: I fear how hard Sektor's heart is becoming.
Liu Kang: Hopefully history will not repeat itself.

Cyrax: I have never seen you like this.
Mileena: I prefer to keep this side of me hidden.

Cyrax: There are still many threats to your rule.
Mileena: They double by the day, Earthrealmer.

Cyrax: The 'Chaos' Mileena I met. She was crazed and savage.
Mileena: A glimpse of my future, perhaps.

Cyrax: The anarchy of Havik's timeline --
Mileena: Thank Argus he was defeated.

Cyrax: I was warned about you, Nitara.
Nitara: Apparently, not well enough.

Cyrax: The slaughter will stop, Vaeternian.
Nitara: Only once I've had my fill.

Cyrax: This appearance suits you, Bi-Han.
Noob Saibot: Always it is disrespect with you.

Cyrax: Havik did not perfect you, he --
Noob Saibot: I will not hear your thoughts on the matter.

Cyrax: Attacking Liu Kang? That was --
Noob Saibot: His weakness infuriated me.

Cyrax: The Shirai Ryu is now my home.
Noob Saibot: Your skills are wasted on them, Cyrax.

Cyrax: Benevolent invaders don't exist.
Omni-Man: Viltrumites are different… If you submit.

Cyrax: My will is unbreakable.
Omni-Man: Okay. How about your neck?

Cyrax: Hoping to scare me with your chiseled physique?
Peacemaker: I'm hoping to turn you the fuck on.

Cyrax: You've heard of me, Peacemaker?
Peacemaker: Mostly that you're a bad-ass bitch.

Cyrax: You are the sorcerer who concerns Liu Kang?
Quan Chi: As surely as you are about to be dead.

Cyrax: How did you become so horribly evil?
Quan Chi: How else, Cyrax? Practice.

Cyrax: Given the chance, you would have burned and pillaged Earthrealm.
Quan Chi: No, pillaged first. Then burned.

Cyrax: I can see why no one likes you.
Quan Chi: The Netherrealm's denizens like me just fine.

Cyrax: I truly regret our first encounter.
Raiden: As do I, Cyrax.

Cyrax: I owe the Shaolin restitution.
Raiden: Repay us with service to Earthrealm.

Cyrax: Are you the youngest champion ever?
Raiden: No. That was the Great Kung Lao.

Cyrax: Why did you train with Kuai Liang?
Raiden: To learn how to fight angry.

Cyrax: You're the mage who drowned Seido's capital?
Rain: An accurate, if inconvenient, truth.

Cyrax: The other Rain I met was an emperor.
Rain: Perhaps this is my future, too.

Cyrax: I'm surprised the Empress let you live.
Rain: Contrition earned her mercy.

Cyrax: This armor is waterproof.
Rain: Yes, but is it Rain proof?

Cyrax: You are no more than a thuggish brute.
Reiko: I don't care one whit what you think.

Cyrax: You worship war like it's a god.
Reiko: Time for your blood to stain its altar.

Cyrax: Your military achievements are legendary.
Reiko: And today I'll notch yet another victory.

Cyrax: If war had not taken your family --
Reiko: Their deaths freed me to reach my full potential.

Cyrax: Zaterran kombat is legendary
Reptile: That tradition gets upheld today.

Cyrax: Your acid. It burns through armor?
Reptile: It burns through just about anything.

Cyrax: You were not at Kuai Liang's wedding.
Reptile: Better for the Lin Kuei I wasn't.

Cyrax: How do a demon and a Zaterran --
Reptile: You don't know me well enough to ask that.

Cyrax: If any harm had to come to you or Harumi --
Scorpion: But it didn't. Do not dwell.

Cyrax: Thank you again for making me Shirai Ryu.
Scorpion: Prove worthy of my trust, Cyrax.

Cyrax: Hanzo is ruled by his emotions.
Scorpion: *You* must teach him control.

Cyrax: All Lin Kuei will soon wear this armor.
Scorpion: Then we must learn to defeat it.

Cyrax: Love for Bi-Han has made you blind.
Sektor: It is you who can't see the Lin Kuei's future.

Cyrax: It is not too late to turn back.
Sektor: The Lin Kuei's path is set, Cyrax.

Cyrax: What of your principles?! Your vows?
Sektor: I have broken neither.

Cyrax: The armor's just a first step, isn't it.
Sektor: You will find out in time.

Cyrax: This is technology against sorcery.
Shang Tsung: We both know which is superior.

Cyrax: You nearly destroyed two realms.
Shang Tsung: The end game was subjugation, not destruction.

Cyrax: Why come out of hiding, sorcerer?
Shang Tsung: To demonstrate my newfound power.

Cyrax: Once a snake, always a snake.
Shang Tsung: Do you expect me to disagree?

Cyrax: The stress of thousands of years in charge --
Sindel: Is it any wonder why my hair's gone white?

Cyrax: Are your daughters ready for the throne?
Sindel: Is that a question? Or a threat?

Cyrax: I do not condone Sub-Zero's actions.
Sindel: A decision good for your health.

Cyrax: Some days, I miss our Lin Kuei comrades.
Smoke: They made the choice to stay behind.

Cyrax: With Sektor as the Lin Kuei's grandmaster --
Smoke: I know. They could be even *more* dangerous.

Cyrax: Liu Kang asked me to help with Hanzo.
Smoke: *Liu Kang* asked? That's odd.

Cyrax: It is your sister's birthday today, isn't it?
Smoke: Yes. This is supposed to distract me.

Cyrax: I want no part of what you're building.
Sub-Zero: No one leaves the Lin Kuei.

Cyrax: The Lin Kuei deserve better than you.
Sub-Zero: I am the Lin Kuei, Cyrax.

Cyrax: You scarred your brother. Killed your father!
Sub-Zero: I did what had to be done.

Cyrax: Did you not think I would discover your lies?
Sub-Zero: That by the time you did, it wouldn't matter.

Cyrax: When I quit the Lin Kuei, my family disowned me.
Takeda: I know exactly how that feels.

Cyrax: I hope I don't hurt that handsome face.
Takeda: Well I -- Wait. For real?!

Cyrax: Liu Kang has taken you to Outworld?
Takeda: It was even more alien than I expected!

Cyrax: Sektor will come for you, too.
Takeda: Because I spent time with the Shirai Ryu?! That's crazy!

Cyrax: I thought my clan's vows were strict, but --
Tanya: No one has more rules than the Umgadi.

Cyrax: I've never fought an Umgadi.
Tanya: Feel no shame when I win.

Cyrax: What makes Umgadi such great fighters?
Tanya: Discipline, fortitude, and faith.

Ermac: Will you return to Quan Chi?
Ashrah: I will never serve him again.

Ermac: Your soul is in flux.
Ashrah: It grows more sanctified every day.

Ermac: Fear us, Ashrah.
Ashrah: I fear none of Quan Chi's minions.

Ermac: Not all sins can be absolved.
Ashrah: If that is true, then I am doomed.

Ermac: You were there when We were birthed.
Baraka: I'm still amazed I survived it.

Ermac: Sindel apologizes for her treatment of your kind.
Baraka: It took death for her to comprehend her error?

Ermac: We worry our powers will kill you.
Baraka: Tarkatans are already dead, Ermac.

Ermac: The darkness within us must be purged.
Baraka: Don't subject me to it, Ermac.

Ermac: Your soul is pained.
Cyrax: I've become outcast to my family, Ermac.

Ermac: That armor does not shield your soul.
Cyrax: It will be enough to win this fight.

Ermac: Though one, you fight as many.
Cyrax: And in doing so, I honor my ancestors.

Ermac: Quan Chi has made another?
Ermac: We improve on many of your flaws.

Ermac: We cannot survive, split in two.
Ermac: Nor can we survive as a single entity.

Ermac: The magic that binds us together --
Ermac: Will weaken without kombat.

Ermac: We are many --
Ermac: As are we.

Ermac: Your souls will be absorbed.
Ermac: The Collection will not surrender.

Ermac: Our souls will obliterate yours.
Ermac: Of that, there is no chance.

Ermac: Not one of our souls condones your rebellion.
General Shao: The views of the dead are irrelevant.

Ermac: Sindel and Jerrod seek revenge against you.
General Shao: Not them, or any soul within you, will harm me.

Ermac: You have shamed the souls of your ancestors.
General Shao: Which of my ungrateful kin are within you?

Ermac: Your soul will be absorbed and punished.
General Shao: Not on your lives, Ermac.

Ermac: Our many are greater than your one.
Geras: Are they, Ermac?

Ermac: Our destiny is unclear.
Geras: In no other timeline has that been true.

Ermac: How did Liu Kang not foresee our creation?
Geras: He did not anticipate Titan Shang Tsung's intrusion.

Ermac: The souls within us clamor for clarity.
Geras: I cannot reveal their fate, Ermac.

Ermac: Your soul is depraved.
Ghostface: You assume I have one.

Ermac: Who is it behind that mask?
Ghostface: The secret's killing you, isn't it?

Ermac: You are a malcontent murderer.
Havik: Not among souls who yearn to breathe free.

Ermac: Your life's miseries do not justify your actions.
Havik: How could so many souls be so totally ignorant?

Ermac: We no longer serve any master.
Havik: Then join me against those who deny others the same freedom.

Ermac: Be gone, son of anarchy.
Havik: Afraid of a little chaos, Ermac?

Ermac: We are many. You are one --
Homelander: And more than enough to bury you.

Ermac: The Collection unites against you.
Homelander: Oooooh… I'm so scared.

Ermac: We are many. You are one. --
Johnny Cage: Yeah, yeah. You'll destroy me. Whatever.

Ermac: We will not appear in 'Army of Souls'.
Johnny Cage: You can't say no! I've got posters already.

Ermac: If our souls stood side-by-side, you would face thousands.
Johnny Cage: Zoinks! Talk about your one-man armies

Ermac: The performers' souls within us are unimpressed.
Johnny Cage: Only I could get bad reviews from the dead.

Ermac: Where is Raiden, Earthrealmer?
Johnny Cage: Sorry, Ermac. You drew the real champ today.

Ermac: The souls Sento took. Return them to us.
Kenshi: I'm sorry. They don't want to go back.

Ermac: Outworld souls cannot live in an Earthrealm blade.
Kenshi: They seem to be doing just fine.

Ermac: Your Collection cannot best ours.
Kenshi: Give it a try, Ermac.

Ermac: You are one. We are many --
Kenshi: Wait. Doesn't that go the other way around?

Ermac: What you ask, We cannot give.
Kitana: Then you doom the Living Forest to extinction.

Ermac: We would not have the Empire undone.
Kitana: Then tell me what you know of Quan Chi.

Ermac: We cannot return to the palace.
Kitana: But your help is needed against the sorcerers!

Ermac: Your path to Quan Chi goes through the Netherrealm.
Kitana: I'll do whatever it takes to catch him.

Ermac: Kung Lao. Raiden's friend.
Kung Lao: More like Raiden's mentor.

Ermac: One of our souls was a suitor for Madam Bo.
Kung Lao: How many secrets does that woman have?

Ermac: Battling us will prove nothing.
Kung Lao: No, but defeating you will.

Ermac: Many of us saw the Great Kung Lao fight.
Kung Lao: What was it like?! I have to know!

Ermac: Our bad acts were compelled by Quan Chi.
Li Mei: Whether you bear blame has yet to be determined.

Ermac: We pose no further threat to Outworld.
Li Mei: I cannot gamble that you're lying.

Ermac: We wish to be left alone.
Li Mei: Not until you've answered my questions.

Ermac: Withdraw, or you will join us.
Li Mei: You threaten Sun Do's First Constable?

Ermac: There are many within us who know you.
Liu Kang: Are they friends? Or foes?

Ermac: You did not plan our creation.
Liu Kang: No. But I find myself glad it happened.

Ermac: Few are more formidable adversaries.
Liu Kang: Which is why tangling with a Fire God is unwise.

Ermac: You do not decide which souls will lead us.
Liu Kang: I simply urge the Collection to consider my advice.

Ermac: Freeing Quan Chi ensured our survival.
Mileena: You should've come to me before setting him loose.

Ermac: At the time of your passing, you could join us.
Mileena: I prefer to spend eternity in the Living Forest.

Ermac: Your parents wish you nothing but peace.
Mileena: They can tell me that themselves, Ermac.

Ermac: We are many. You are --
Mileena: Outworld's empress. Kneel before me.

Ermac: Why seek to capture us?
Nitara: The Coven's found a way for Vaeternians to feed on souls.

Ermac: There are no Vaeternians in the Collection.
Nitara: If there were, they would dominate.

Ermac: Sindel's soul wants vengeance.
Nitara: I'm not the one who killed her!

Ermac: We need souls to bolster our strength.
Nitara: Mine's not available, Ermac.

Ermac: Your soul is infused with Chaos.
Noob Saibot: Which hardens and strengthens it.

Ermac: General Shao's allies are our enemies.
Noob Saibot: He and I are no longer partners.

Ermac: Commit aggression against Outworld --
Noob Saibot: Who made you its protector?

Ermac: I do not seek kombat.
Noob Saibot: Nevertheless, it has found you.

Ermac: Millions of dead souls trail in your wake.
Omni-Man: Care to join them?

Ermac: Your body is strong but your soul is weak.
Omni-Man: Souls don't win fights, fists do.

Ermac: We sense your fear.
Peacemaker: Yeah, your whole death vibe is wigging me out.

Ermac: You are a buffoon, not a warrior.
Peacemaker: You wanna insult me? Fine. Just use words I understand.

Ermac: Though built by your magic, we are not bound to it.
Quan Chi: How precious little you understand.

Ermac: We saved you and you betrayed us.
Quan Chi: I can do with you what I please, construct.

Ermac: The spell which made us ravaged the Living Forest.
Quan Chi: Progress requires creative destruction.

Ermac: We are not free as long as you live.
Quan Chi: Then it's too bad for you I plan to live forever.

Ermac: You fight with the skill of many.
Raiden: I've learned from all who taught me.

Ermac: You are first among the champions We have known.
Raiden: How can that be possible?

Ermac: We envy your clarity of purpose.
Raiden: You will find yours. Have faith.

Ermac: There is much Outworld history you do not know.
Raiden: Should I be worried?

Ermac: You put all of Outworld at risk.
Rain: Because I was deceived as to whom I served.

Ermac: Sindel and Jerrod regret elevating you.
Rain: Do they want my apology or my life?

Ermac: We witnessed your first feats of magic.
Rain: If that impressed, you're about to be stunned.

Ermac: Redeem your soul. Join the Collection.
Rain: I'll share mine with no one, construct.

Ermac: Souls within us fought Onaga. Freeing him is folly.
Reiko: The General believes otherwise.

Ermac: In life, We were greater warriors than you.
Reiko: Then kill me, if you can.

Ermac: It is not our choice to serve Shao.
Reiko: Which would be fine, if you had one.

Ermac: We do not thirst for kombat.
Reiko: That's too bad. Because I do.

Ermac: No Zaterran souls live within us.
Reptile: Because our dead are barred from the Living Forest.

Ermac: Our standing in Outworld is unclear.
Reptile: Now you know how it feels to be Zaterran.

Ermac: You have two faces, yet one soul.
Reptile: Which is Zaterran, born and bred.

Ermac: We no longer owe allegiance to Quan Chi.
Reptile: Then help me and Ashrah find him.

Ermac: Among our souls are your forebearers.
Scorpion: What?! That cannot be possible!

Ermac: Yours is a tortured soul.
Scorpion: Thanks solely to my brother.

Ermac: Sindel and Jerrod thank you for your service.
Scorpion: No need. I was doing my duty.

Ermac: We have the powers of all within us.
Scorpion: Then you are truly an enemy to be feared.

Ermac: Your Lin Kuei differs from what We remember.
Sektor: And it is better than ever.

Ermac: Your parents are known to Us.
Sektor: Then you realize how dangerous I am.

Ermac: Sindel says she would have granted no mercy.
Sektor: Good for me, then, that her soul is inside you.

Ermac: Some in the collection were your enemies in life.
Shang Tsung: I am entirely unsurprised.

Ermac: One soul cannot defeat many.
Shang Tsung: Mine can, Ermac.

Ermac: Your continued existence threatens Outworld.
Shang Tsung: Sindel and Jerrod have taken control, eh?

Ermac: Choose. Absorption or death.
Shang Tsung: Surely there is a third option.

Ermac: You must trust us with your husband's soul.
Sindel: How?! You are born of the darkest magic.

Ermac: Jerrod wishes your soul to be at peace.
Sindel: It can't, knowing he's imprisoned within you.

Ermac: If We die, Jerrod will be forever lost.
Sindel: He is already lost to me, construct.

Ermac: You could join your husband within us.
Sindel: Not while I have an empire to govern.

Ermac: You lack our combined experience.
Smoke: I'll just have to fight that much harder.

Ermac: Your courage is to be commended.
Smoke: The Shirai Ryu never back down.

Ermac: Tragedy has touched your soul.
Smoke: Very perceptive, Ermac.

Ermac: Do not presume victory, Earthrealmer.
Smoke: That is the last thing I'm doing.

Ermac: Cryomancy cannot defeat us.
Sub-Zero: It already has once, Ermac.

Ermac: Your soul will serve us well.
Sub-Zero: Only if you can steal it.

Ermac: You escaped our grasp.
Sub-Zero: It was no match for my cold fury.

Ermac: The Lin Kuei fight as one?
Sub-Zero: With me as their heart and mind.

Ermac: Numbers give strength. Yet you fight alone.
Takeda: I don't like entanglements.

Ermac: No one soul has ever defeated us.
Takeda: That's not the story I hear, Ermac.

Ermac: The Collection does not need your soul.
Takeda: Good. Because it can't have it.

Ermac: The souls Sento stole must be returned.
Takeda: Like I have the power to change Kenshi's mind.

Ermac: Empress Mileena is in your care now.
Tanya: By Delia, I pledge my life to her protection.

Ermac: We shall not again disturb the royal peace.
Tanya: If you do, you will deal with me.

Ermac: The souls of your Umgadi sisters wish an audience.
Tanya: Scripture forbids my speaking with our dead.

Ermac: There are Umgadi secrets you have yet to discover.
Tanya: Are they hidden within you, Ermac?

General Shao: I thought Quan Chi had control of his minions.
Ashrah: I am no longer under his spell.

General Shao: It's not evil to defend one's realm.
Ashrah: Was that what you were doing?

General Shao: Your intervention ruined my plans.
Ashrah: I am glad to have been part of the resistance.

General Shao: I've never battled a demon.
Ashrah: Then you have never been truly tested.

General Shao: You served in the Daybreak Legion?
Baraka: First to rise, first to fight, last to die.

General Shao: Your affliction cannot harm me.
Baraka: You're a fool to think yourself immune.

General Shao: You may have been a soldier, but now you're a beast.
Baraka: And I've never been more dangerous, General.

General Shao: You sabotaged my plans, Tarkatan.
Baraka: Don't think for a moment that I'm sorry.

General Shao: Now, Earthrealmer, I grant your death wish.
Cyrax: It will take more than arrogance to kill me.

General Shao: Are none of you Lin Kuei loyal?
Cyrax: Not to a corrupt Grandmaster.

General Shao: The one thing I can't stomach is a turncoat.
Cyrax: How are you blind to that statement's irony?

General Shao: Go, Earthrealmer. Before I crush you.
Cyrax: That won't be how this fight ends.

General Shao: Which of your souls fights me today?
Ermac: All.

General Shao: Such a mighty weapon gone to waste.
Ermac: We are no weapon. Nor are We a waste.

General Shao: You'll take me to Quan Chi.
Ermac: You presume We know his whereabouts.

General Shao: My victory in this fight will be glorious.
Ermac: Will you also find glory in defeat?

General Shao: Here we are, born to be kings!
General Shao: We are princes of the universe!

General Shao: This is the last day you'll see.
General Shao: It won't be me who perishes.

General Shao: Two taigores can't share the same mountain.
General Shao: Then go. This one is mine.

General Shao: The greatest victories require no battle.
General Shao: I've never heard more ridiculous words.

General Shao: The drumbeats beckon. Can you hear them?
General Shao: Let us heed their call to war.

General Shao: The first blow is half the battle.
General Shao: And why you'll bleed before me.

General Shao: Join me, and we'll take the Hourglass.
Geras: Conquest is not in my nature.

General Shao: To defeat Liu Kang, I must destroy you first.
Geras: Are you aware I cannot be killed?

General Shao: I won't abide Liu Kang's limits.
Geras: I have no choice, then, but to enforce them.

General Shao: I'm told in past lives, I was a conqueror.
Geras: In past lives, you were evil incarnate.

General Shao: *You* are a warrior?! Ha! Ridiculous!
Ghostface: A warrior?! I'm a raving psychotic.

General Shao: I will crush you like the bug you are.
Ghostface: I'll survive. I always do.

General Shao: Swear fealty and I can help you.
Havik: I'll die before I owe allegiance to anyone!

General Shao: Laying waste to Seido was a masterstroke.
Havik: I didn't think it would earn your respect.

General Shao: Don't bring your campaign to Outworld, Havik.
Havik: Why not? It's people need freedom, too.

General Shao: You won the war, but you will lose the aftermath.
Havik: Because I won't impose your brand of order?

General Shao: I'll string you up with your cape!
Homelander: Oh. Take your best shot, sport.

General Shao: Aid my cause, and earn a place by my side.
Homelander: You aren't fit to lick my boots.

General Shao: Earthrealm will kneel, or it will burn!
Johnny Cage: Now *that's* how you chew scenery!

General Shao: An entertainer's life is a meaningless one.
Johnny Cage: Fuck that! I bring joy to millions.

General Shao: Ruin awaits those who defy me.
Johnny Cage: Someone's going all in on the supervillain.

General Shao: You haven't earned your swagger.
Johnny Cage: Like you've got any clue what it takes to be me.

General Shao: My war won't end until Liu Kang's corpse rots under my feet.
Johnny Cage: Damn. Someone needs a hug and a sandwich.

General Shao: A blind swordsman? Is this a joke?
Kenshi: No, General. It is deadly serious.

General Shao: I've had it with you Earthrealmers.
Kenshi: Can't stand the losing, can you?

General Shao: I'll pick off you champions one by one.
Kenshi: None of us will fall, General.

General Shao: Soon I'll bring the war to Earthrealm.
Kenshi: You need to survive this fight first.

General Shao: There are many Outworlders who've been left behind.
Kitana: War will not help them, General!

General Shao: If your sister won't defend Outworld, others will.
Kitana: Only a simpleton would question her resolve.

General Shao: Your sister is only empress because Liu Kang ordained it.
Kitana: Even if true, better her than you.

General Shao: Your family has soiled the throne for far too long.
Kitana: Soiled?! We've made it shine with glory.

General Shao: I don't take prisoners, Earthrealmer.
Kung Lao: Good thing you won't capture me.

General Shao: You wouldn't last a day in my army.
Kung Lao: Go ahead. Underestimate me.

General Shao: Mileena's government will be toppled.
Kung Lao: Not on our watch, General.

General Shao: I'll carve that smirk off your face.
Kung Lao: I hope you have brought your army.

General Shao: You are doggedly persistent, Li Mei.
Li Mei: I can't rest until you're behind bars.

General Shao: I regret not trying to bring you to my side.
Li Mei: It would've been a wasted effort.

General Shao: It's clear you have a death wish.
Li Mei: Is it, General?

General Shao: Why remain loyal to an ineffectual empress?
Li Mei: I disagree with your assessment.

General Shao: Your end game is Outworld's oppression.
Liu Kang: Nothing could be further from the truth.

General Shao: All my life I have wanted to take yours.
Liu Kang: Yours is an unhealthy obsession, General

General Shao: If you loathe me, why bring me into this timeline?
Liu Kang: Because I had hoped you could be redeemed.

General Shao: How is it you are my creator?
Liu Kang: It is a longer story than we have time for.

General Shao: A word from me, and your secret becomes public.
Mileena: No Outworlder will believe a traitor.

General Shao: Were it not for Liu Kang's aid to you --
Mileena: A pretender would now be on my throne.

General Shao: Your family won't hold the throne forever.
Mileena: You won't be the one to take it from us.

General Shao: In your hands, Outworld is doomed.
Mileena: I will usher in a second Golden Age.

General Shao: Kasomira was your mother?!
Nitara: Also the finest Vaeternian admiral to ever serve.

General Shao: When I'm Emperor, I'll make --
Nitara: Even more empty promises?

General Shao: Do you know the Battle of Chesna Fields?
Nitara: I know you killed many Vaeternians that day.

General Shao: If you despise me, why did you join me?
Nitara: You were worth more to me alive than dead.

General Shao: Back from the dead, Bi-Han?
Noob Saibot: And deadlier than ever.

General Shao: Are you still Lin Kuei?
Noob Saibot: I will *always* be Lin Kuei.

General Shao: I need Sektor's services.
Noob Saibot: You should have thought of that before freezing me out.

General Shao: Your army's battle armor masks its incompetence.
Noob Saibot: If you think so, take the field against us.

General Shao: Slaying you will make me a legend.
Omni-Man: Yet when I slay you, no one will remember.

General Shao: Steel sharpens steel--we are equally matched.
Omni-Man: The feeling is decidedly not mutual.

General Shao: You look at me strangely.
Peacemaker: Cause I clocked that epic six pack you're rocking.

General Shao: I am Outworld's savior.
Peacemaker: Nah, dude. You're just a dick.

General Shao: How do we solve a problem like Mileena?
Quan Chi: I'll strike her with a moonbeam from my hand.

General Shao: I'm done with both of you sorcerers.
Quan Chi: That would be a grievous mistake.

General Shao: What magic did Shang Tsung find on that island?
Quan Chi: I don't know. He's been silent.

General Shao: If I had known what you were truly up to --
Quan Chi: Why do you think we lied to you?

General Shao: *This* tournament has no rules.
Raiden: You'll do no better in Mortal Kombat.

General Shao: You're scrawny and pathetic.
Raiden: Why then, General, did you lose to me?

General Shao: Sindel is your master's puppet, Raiden.
Raiden: No, they are partners in peace.

General Shao: You haven't long to live.
Raiden: I won't be cowed by your bluster, Shao.

General Shao: Your loyalty is fickle, Rain.
Rain: I've realized you're not what's best for Outworld.

General Shao: Return to my side or pay the price.
Rain: You can't intimidate Outworld's High Mage.

General Shao: Without me, you'd never have become High Mage.
Rain: Am I to be in your debt for life?

General Shao: Forsake me, and you forsake Outworld.
Rain: That assertion holds no water.

General Shao: I've commanded no finer soldier.
Reiko: I am what you made me, sir.

General Shao: Our victory must be total, Reiko.
Reiko: We'll rout Mileena's troops as we did the Kytinn.

General Shao: All's too quiet on our western front.
Reiko: Then command us into battle.

General Shao: Together, we have trod paths of glory.
Reiko: How many more await us, General?

General Shao: Fight on your terms, or don't fight at all.
Reiko: Excellent advice, General.

General Shao: I've treated you like a beloved son.
Reiko: And I will follow you into the deepest valley.

General Shao: Join Liu Kang, and you board a sinking ship.
Reptile: I couldn't disagree more.

General Shao: Shang Tsung erred severely by not killing you.
Reptile: It wasn't for lack of trying.

General Shao: Mileena sent you? She must be desperate.
Reptile: She sees in me what you can’t, General.

General Shao: You won't escape me this time.
Reptile: Care to wager on that, General?

General Shao: I still owe you for the fight at Ying Fortress.
Scorpion: The sting of your failure still hurts?

General Shao: I knew you would cause trouble.
Scorpion: Good and necessary trouble, General.

General Shao: You should have followed your brother's lead.
Scorpion: Down a path of shame and dishonor?

General Shao: Can't you see that Liu Kang's a devil?
Scorpion: He is one only in your warped reality.

General Shao: If only you'd fathomed the Dragon Army's power.
Scorpion: I did, which is why I feared it.

General Shao: Outworld's army would overrun the Lin Kuei.
Sektor: We'll never know, as you no longer command it.

General Shao: Sub-Zero sends his woman after me?
Sektor: He sends his most skilled warrior.

General Shao: That Outworld ever feared the Lin Kuei --
Sektor: It will learn to fear us again.

General Shao: If you wish to live, leave.
Sektor: I'm insulted you think I spook so easily.

General Shao: What happened to you after Lei Chin?
Shang Tsung: I found my destiny.

General Shao: Earthrealm must suffer an apocalypse! Now!
Shang Tsung: Be patient, General.

General Shao: You've been whispering in Reiko's ear.
Shang Tsung: Fortunately for you, to little effect.

General Shao: You were scheming against me from the moment we met.
Shang Tsung: We all have our agendas, don't we?

General Shao: There are few who would dare double-cross me.
Shang Tsung: It thrills me to be in such elite company.

General Shao: Once I rule, Outworld won't be submissive.
Sindel: The throne will never be yours.

General Shao: If we don't conquer, *we* will be conquered.
Sindel: Why must Outworld be aggressive to be strong?

General Shao: You think Earthrealmers' morals are superior to ours?
Sindel: No, I find Liu Kang's superior to yours.

General Shao: Despite my many victories, you refuse to heed my counsel.
Sindel: In matters of diplomacy, yes.

General Shao: When Jerrod died, you lost your nerve.
Sindel: Do not invoke my husband's name!

General Shao: My family has served Outworld for generations.
Sindel: Which is why your treason is so tragic.

General Shao: Smoke is merely a defensive weapon.
Smoke: You won't think so once you're choking on it.

General Shao: You cannot hide, Earthrealmer.
Smoke: Good luck trying to smoke me out.

General Shao: Neither the Lin Kuei nor the Shirai Ryu concern me.
Smoke: You sleepwalk to disaster, General.

General Shao: Me, lose to you?
Smoke: Enjoy that feeling while it lasts.

General Shao: Finally, the chance to test the Lin Kuei's mettle.
Sub-Zero: It will end with your humiliation.

General Shao: I owe you nothing, Bi-Han.
Sub-Zero: You would still be in prison, were it not for me!

General Shao: If I *ever* see your brother --
Sub-Zero: You won't unless you visit his grave.

General Shao: You will end this a broken corpse.
Takeda: Only if it takes that to finish you.

General Shao: A fool and his life are soon parted.
Takeda: Better take those words to heart, General.

General Shao: I hope your farewells have been made.
Takeda: Why? I'm not going anywhere.

General Shao: Do you realize who you're fighting?
Takeda: If I had to guess, a bully with a god complex.

General Shao: So you're the Umgadi's new Matron Superior.
Tanya: And I've made us deadlier than ever, General.

General Shao: I know more than you realize, Tanya.
Tanya: I'll spill your blood before you can spill my secrets.

General Shao: If you're against me, you're against Outworld.
Tanya: Too bad you can't weaponize your ego.

General Shao: It gives me no pleasure, starting civil war.
Tanya: It doesn't, General?

Geras: Liu Kang is pleased that you have joined him.
Ashrah: Was that always part of his plan?

Geras: You are not ready to face Quan Chi.
Ashrah: Then why won’t you aid me, Geras?

Geras: Kronika never meant for you to attain absolution.
Ashrah: As it would have disrupted her golden balance.

Geras: Your spiritual journey will be long and arduous.
Ashrah: Whatever it takes, I will cleanse my soul.

Geras: Tarkatans are fortunate to have you.
Baraka: If only their creator cared for them as much.

Geras: If cured, what would you do?
Baraka: Why taunt me with impossibilities, Geras?

Geras: I understand your rage, Baraka.
Baraka: How can you? You've never faced death.

Geras: Would you rather have been excluded from this timeline?
Baraka: Better nonexistence than Tarkat.

Geras: Your efforts helped save reality.
Cyrax: It was an honor to do my duty.

Geras: You are not through battling Chaos.
Cyrax: I know. It infects Bi-Han.

Geras: Your armor heralds a potentially dark future.
Cyrax: Why Geras? What comes next?

Geras: Surviving the maze was no small feat.
Cyrax: Credit my will to live.

Geras: Stay on the right side of history.
Ermac: How are We to know what that is?

Geras: If history is any guide, Quan Chi is not done with you.
Ermac: Nor We with him, Geras.

Geras: Should darkness again consume you --
Ermac: You have our permission to finish us.

Geras: The magic which binds you is failing.
Ermac: If so, We have been deceived by Quan Chi.

Geras: When the universe dies, only I will remain.
General Shao: It's impossible that you're eternal.

Geras: Do you not see that Titan Shang Tsung would have killed you?
General Shao: He would have tried.

Geras: Had you respected the contours of this timeline --
General Shao: I'd still be the lap dog of a good-for-nothing empress.

Geras: You could have been part of the grand design.
General Shao: As Liu Kang's vassal?! Ha!

Geras: We do not owe Liu Kang loyalty.
Geras: Without him, we wouldn't exist.

Geras: My presence in this moment threatens the timeline.
Geras: We must get you back to the future.

Geras: You serve Titan Shang Tsung?
Geras: I command his legions.

Geras: Your Kronika lives?
Geras: And still reigns as Keeper of Time.

Geras: Return to your timeline of origin!
Geras: Not until I have destroyed this one.

Geras: You're from a previous timeline?
Geras: Here to warn you that this one is in peril.

Geras: This timeline will be freed of your evil.
Ghostface: Nobody's cancelling me.

Geras: What in your past led you to this?
Ghostface: Want an origin story? I've got tons of 'em.

Geras: I cannot aid your uprising.
Havik: Then you're on the wrong side of history.

Geras: Anarchy won't bring peace.
Havik: But it will bring freedom.

Geras: You unleash forces you can't control.
Havik: Exactly, Geras.

Geras: Be patient. Deliverance is coming.
Havik: My people won't wait any longer!

Geras: Your partners are called The Seven?
Homelander: Yeah, but, I'm the only one that matters.

Geras: Your coming here was a mistake.
Homelander: Uh, oh. Did I cross the line?

Geras: What happens in your future is devastating.
Johnny Cage: What? Do I become an asshole or something?

Geras: I cannot reveal more details of prior timelines.
Johnny Cage: C'mon, at least tell me if she was hot.

Geras: You want a sports almanac from the future?
Johnny Cage: Forget it. It was just an idea.

Geras: The Hourglass is beyond your understanding.
Johnny Cage: Please. I've gotta Ph.D. in quantum mechanics, bitch.

Geras: Pleasure and action make the hours seem short.
Johnny Cage: Which is why my movies always feel so well paced.

Geras: The Yakuza left scars on your body.
Kenshi: But it couldn't break my spirit, Geras.

Geras: Are you prepared for this battle?
Kenshi: Is this how Liu Kang tests his champions?

Geras: You have been warned about the Black Dragon.
Kenshi: Don't worry. I know what I'm doing.

Geras: You will meet others like Jackson Briggs.
Kenshi: Now I'm intrigued, Geras.

Geras: You have met your Titan counterpart.
Kitana: She was me. Perfected!

Geras: Your mother's death was unanticipated and untimely.
Kitana: Is that supposed to ease the pain?

Geras: I understand you have met Countess Jade.
Kitana: Is that important? Who will she be to me?

Geras: To secure Outworld, bring its warring factions together.
Kitana: Get Shokan, Osh-Tekk, and Naknadans to play nice? Please.

Geras: Liu Kang has assembled excellent champions.
Kung Lao: Though we all know who is the best.

Geras: Your Titan counterpart was most impressive.
Kung Lao: Of course he was, Geras.

Geras: Your future is at Raiden's side.
Kung Lao: Not stuck in his shadow, I hope.

Geras: Your boldness has been constant across timelines.
Kung Lao: Is that critique or praise, Geras?

Geras: Empress Mileena offered you a bright future.
Li Mei: It didn't feel like it was mine.

Geras: Your leap of faith saved Outworld.
Li Mei: And here I nearly rejected Liu Kang's request.

Geras: In a way, we are both First Constables.
Li Mei: Your responsibilities far exceed mine

Geras: The Sun Do you know didn't exist in past timelines.
Li Mei: How was it different, Geras?

Geras: Titan Onaga is the most powerful yet.
Liu Kang: We will defeat him, Geras.

Geras: You required my presence?
Liu Kang: To help me sharpen my skills.

Geras: Losing immortality does not worry you.
Liu Kang: All good things must end, Geras.

Geras: Shall we make use of this time?
Liu Kang: We shall let no advantage slip.

Geras: Any advice for when I control the Hourglass?
Liu Kang: Let all people be masters of their fate.

Geras: Do not blame yourself for Shujinko.
Liu Kang: If only I had found a less radical solution.

Geras: You fare better in this timeline than in others.
Mileena: Though I have Tarkat? That is hard to believe.

Geras: Prior Mileenas were all malice and spite.
Mileena: Why tell me this, Geras?

Geras: Ruling Outworld will take maturity and grace.
Mileena: You sound like one of my sister's boosters.

Geras: Liu Kang earnestly wants Outworld to do well.
Mileena: Then he shouldn't be keeping secrets from us.

Geras: History will judge the Coven harshly.
Nitara: Only if you're the one writing it.

Geras: Your people can't escape their choices.
Nitara: Our fate isn't sealed, Geras.

Geras: Abandon vampirism, and Vaeternus can be saved.
Nitara: We will never change what we are!

Geras: There are other ways to feed Vaeternus.
Nitara: None of them will sustain our immortality!

Geras: Liu Kang does not want this fate for you.
Noob Saibot: It is my choice, not his.

Geras: Chaos will not infect this timeline.
Noob Saibot: That is not my goal, Geras.

Geras: Persist and you will ruin the Lin Kuei.
Noob Saibot: No. I will perfect it.

Geras: Your brother. Your father. Is there --
Noob Saibot: No one will block my path.

Geras: Your timeline is unlike any I have encountered.
Omni-Man: If you think you know me, trust me, you don't.

Geras: Viltrumite rule would break the timeline.
Omni-Man: You can't perfect something without breaking it first.

Geras: You interfere with the timeline's progression.
Peacemaker: I'm just trying to bring it peace.

Geras: Childhood trauma does not justify --
Peacemaker: Zip it. I'm not here for therapy

Geras: Liu Kang wanted your life to be hard, not harsh.
Quan Chi: Did it never occur to him to check on my progress?

Geras: History will not bend to your whims.
Quan Chi: Once I command the Hourglass, it will.

Geras: Your transgressions are constant across timelines.
Quan Chi: What does that tell you about my power?

Geras: The Void awaits you and Shang Tsung.
Quan Chi: It will hold me no better than Lei Chin.

Geras: Liu Kang’s plans for you are grand.
Raiden: Any tidbits you wish to share?

Geras: Your thunder will be felt for centuries.
Raiden: What makes me so important, Geras?

Geras: The prior Raiden was overwhelmed by darkness.
Raiden: I won't make that same mistake, Geras.

Geras: Now we begin your next lesson.
Raiden: Will I learn to wield time as you do?

Geras: If only you could moderate your ambitions.
Rain: Is it my fault I can't? Or is it Liu Kang's?

Geras: My sole duty is to preserve this timeline.
Rain: Have you no other ambitions, Geras?

Geras: Your future now holds only ignominy.
Rain: There's no way I can change my fate?

Geras: You were a poor boy, from a poor family.
Rain: <>

Geras: Your parents would not want this life for you.
Reiko: Do not dare speak for them, Geras!

Geras: Shao will not sit on Outworld's throne.
Reiko: I thought the future wasn't written.

Geras: There are more noble pursuits than war.
Reiko: I can think of none, Geras.

Geras: The right path is still open to you.
Reiko: The right path? Or the submissive path?

Geras: Liu Kang has been kinder to Zaterrans than Kronika.
Reptile: What did she do to us, Geras?

Geras: You must be vigilant to avoid future tragedy.
Reptile: Why must you be so cryptic?!

Geras: Your work as the Empress's emissary goes well
Reptile: It's a life I could never have dreamed of.

Geras: Your liaison with Ashrah concerns me.
Reptile: I don't recall asking yours or Liu Kang's opinions.

Geras: Your brother's Lin Kuei are an obstacle to peace.
Scorpion: It is *my* duty to deal with them.

Geras: We are both sworn to serve.
Scorpion: May neither of us neglect our duties.

Geras: I am concerned about Tomas.
Scorpion: What has the Hourglass shown you, Geras?

Geras: You are the first-ever Kuai Liang Scorpion.
Scorpion: Am I also to be the last?

Geras: Defying Liu Kang's wishes --
Sektor: Is a choice I don't regret.

Geras: If you love Bi-Han, return him to Liu Kang.
Sektor: It's because I do that I cannot.

Geras: Your experiments with automation must end.
Sektor: Interesting. I must be on to something.

Geras: This timeline's course has been forever altered.
Shang Tsung: Good.

Geras: To protect history, you will be imprisoned in the Void.
Shang Tsung: Because that worked so well the last time.

Geras: With his Titan power restored, Liu Kang is invulnerable.
Shang Tsung: Kronika wasn't. And neither is he.

Geras: By defying your destiny, you have shortened your existence.
Shang Tsung: Is that a polite way of saying you’re here to kill me?

Geras: Your fate has always been tragic.
Sindel: In every single timeline?

Geras: It is a pleasure to know this iteration of you.
Sindel: What was wrong with the others?

Geras: Do not become obsessed with the sorcerers.
Sindel: I cannot rest until they die, Geras.

Geras: Are you prepared for the transition of power?
Sindel: My daughters are ready to succeed me.

Geras: Kuai Liang's future depends on yours.
Smoke: What must I do, Geras?

Geras: You are not prepared for the battles to come.
Smoke: Then train me, Geras.

Geras: Inevitably, the brothers will again clash.
Smoke: There's no way I can stop them?

Geras: My vision of the future is hazy.
Smoke: Is that because it's filled with Smoke?

Geras: Your future has been damaged beyond repair.
Sub-Zero: Are you here to end it?

Geras: In prior timelines, the Lin Kuei were assassins.
Sub-Zero: Mine are no less deadly.

Geras: Your actions disappoint my creator.
Sub-Zero: I care nothing for Liu Kang's approval.

Geras: Kuai Liang was not destined to be your enemy.
Sub-Zero: That was his choice, not mine.

Geras: The future of this timeline is unwritten.
Takeda: So I *do* control my fate.

Geras: Your time with the Shirai Ryu was pre-ordained.
Takeda: What else does Liu Kang have in store for me?

Geras: To be successful in your quest --
Takeda: Please. I'll handle it my way.

Geras: Your bond with Kenshi is crucial to your future.
Takeda: I won't force it, Geras.

Geras: The Umgadi was one of Liu Kang's best innovations.
Tanya: My order sprung from his mind?

Geras: Your future with the Empress is not set.
Tanya: She and I will overcome all obstacles.

Geras: There are enemies within the palace.
Tanya: Who, Geras? I need names.

Geras: It is imperative that you protect Kitana, too.
Tanya: What becomes of her in the future, Geras?

Ghostface: The things I'll do to your corpse --
Ashrah: By Datusha, your mind is sick!

Ghostface: If anyone can scare a demon, I can.
Ashrah: Then no one can.

Ghostface: I'll break off those teeth and stab you with them.
Baraka: Only if you survive my blades.

Ghostface: You look like you enjoy carnage too.
Baraka: Not at all, you freak.

Ghostface: Love the accent. Does it come through when you scream?
Cyrax: You will never know.

Ghostface: You're dead already. You just don't know it.
Cyrax: Hardly, you ludicrous imp.

Ghostface: If I kill you, thousands die?
Ermac: The Collection cannot be broken.

Ghostface: Now what will it take to butcher you…
Ermac: You do not have the power.

Ghostface: If I had a nickel for everybody I've killed --
General Shao: More blood has stained my blade than yours.

Ghostface: Those horns are gonna be a helluva trophy.
General Shao: Fool! You think you'll win?!

Ghostface: I love I can kill you again and again.
Geras: You will not succeed even once.

Ghostface: I'll rip you apart at those seams.
Geras: That which Liu Kang has joined, will not be torn asunder.

Ghostface: Which one of us are you?
Ghostface: You’ll have to kill me to find out

Ghostface: Is that you, Billy?
Ghostface: Of course it is, Stu.

Ghostface: Imitation is the best form of flattery.
Ghostface: It's also the deadliest.

Ghostface: What's *your* favorite scary movie?
Ghostface: Stab! What else?

Ghostface: You like chaos? I *love* chaos!
Havik: What we want isn't the same.

Ghostface: If you're not gonna help, you're gonna die.
Havik: A preposterous threat.

Ghostface: A super man goes fascist? Now that's a scary movie.
Homelander: Too bad you won't live to see it.

Ghostface: I'm going to rip you up from the inside out.
Homelander: Yeah, good luck with that.

Ghostface: Poor Cristina, I'm afraid she's out.
Johnny Cage: What the hell did you do to her??

Ghostface: Do you like scary movies?
Johnny Cage: You kidding?! Murder Hornets paid for my mansion!

Ghostface: I'll cut through your neck until I feel bone.
Kenshi: How can anyone's mind be that sick.

Ghostface: Just 'cause you're blind, doesn't mean I won't kill you.
Kenshi: Just because I'm blind, doesn't mean you can.

Ghostface: I'm going to smear your blood over my every pore.
Kitana: Not in this life, cretin.

Ghostface: You? Your sister? I'm gonna kill you both!
Kitana: Not so long as she and I fight together.

Ghostface: Name the killer in Friday the 13th!
Kung Lao: I know nothing of film trivia.

Ghostface: How 'bout I carve that smirk off your face.
Kung Lao: Many have tried, all have died.

Ghostface: One more cop for my killography.
Li Mei: You won't even come close.

Ghostface: Got time for a little hack and slash?
Li Mei: If that's what it takes to get rid of you.

Ghostface: This is gonna be my most epic kill ever.
Liu Kang: It is doubtful you can best a god.

Ghostface: So what you're a god? I'm a monster!
Liu Kang: And one who must be slain.

Ghostface: Your death’ll make your mother’s seem peaceful.
Mileena: I will kill you for your disrespect!

Ghostface: It’s not every day I kill a princess.
Mileena: It won’t be this day, either.

Ghostface: Your friend in red is having a real bad day.
Noob Saibot: Should she be harmed, you are a dead man.

Ghostface: You died once. Wanna do it again?
Noob Saibot: If needed to kill you, yes.

Ghostface: What's your favorite scary movie?
Omni-Man: Fuck movies. Nothing beats a good book.

Ghostface: Nice suit. So many exposed places to stab!
Omni-Man: Don't get much oxygen in that mask, do you?

Ghostface: I'm gonna carve the meat off your bones.
Peacemaker: Not if all you've got is a knife.

Ghostface: I can't wait to hear you beg for death.
Peacemaker: Like I'd give you the pleasure, fucknut.

Ghostface: I'll cut every artery, snip every vein --
Quan Chi: Please, stop. You try way too hard.

Ghostface: Do *you* have a favorite scary movie?
Quan Chi: I don't know what a 'movie' is…

Ghostface: I can't wait to meet your sister.
Raiden: You will get nowhere near her.

Ghostface: Your hometown is ripe for the picking.
Raiden: I won't let you terrorize it.

Ghostface: I'm going to jam your staff so far up --
Rain: Enough with your drizzle of drivel!

Ghostface: They’re gonna find pieces of you all over Outworld.
Rain: A trifling threat against a High Mage.

Ghostface: This won't be war, this'll be murder.
Reiko: I hope you're ready to play victim.

Ghostface: Your best men weren't good enough.
Reiko: How did you kill them all?!

Ghostface: I've dissected reptiles before.
Reptile: On behalf of them, I shall return the favor.

Ghostface: I bet there's a hot market for Zaterran leather.
Reptile: Your knife won't even touch my skin.

Ghostface: Your youthful ward doesn’t scare easily.
Scorpion: Which is why Hanzo is Shirai Ryu.

Ghostface: I like your pretty friend Harumi.
Scorpion: Come at her and she will scorch you.

Ghostface: Your ladyfriend in yellow isn't feeling too hot.
Sektor: I don't care about her. Just her armor.

Ghostface: I'm gonna crack you open like a crab.
Sektor: You are incapable of it.

Ghostface: You wanna see magic? I'm a wizard with a knife.
Shang Tsung: A boast more pathetic than intimidating.

Ghostface: This'll end when I harvest your heart.
Shang Tsung: Sorry, my friend. I have none.

Ghostface: Just what will happen to your daughters…
Sindel: If they come to any harm I will ravage you.

Ghostface: I hear you've got quite a scream.
Sindel: I will be glad to let you hear it.

Ghostface: Aren't you lucky! You're first on my kill list.
Smoke: No one on it is going to die.

Ghostface: When your brother finds your bloated carcass --
Smoke: You will not get the best of me.

Ghostface: Time to put you on a slab.
Sub-Zero: Like you could overcome a Lin Kuei.

Ghostface: Does your blood run cold? Let's find out.
Sub-Zero: You will learn nothing today.

Ghostface: You've never seen a scary movie?
Takeda: Who needs them? Life is scary enough.

Ghostface: I'll start with your fingers. Then your toes --
Takeda: I get the picture. Let's go.

Ghostface: Pretty women make the best victims.
Tanya: By Argus, you will have no more.

Ghostface: If you pray, now's the time.
Tanya: Guide my hand, blessed Delia, as I smite this monstrosity.

Havik: My wounds are a badge of honor.
Ashrah: I can only imagine your suffering.

Havik: You are either with me or against me.
Ashrah: Then I am against you, Havik.

Havik: Seido treats my kind like dogs.
Ashrah: Quan Chi will treat you no better.

Havik: My people would do better in the Netherrealm.
Ashrah: Hyperbole destroys your credibility, Havik.

Havik: Join me in the pursuit of freedom.
Baraka: After you partnered with Shang Tsung? Never!

Havik: Your people are as oppressed as mine.
Baraka: Taking lives won't ease our burdens.

Havik: To lift up your people, tear the system down!
Baraka: What's gained by plunging Outworld into chaos?

Havik: Outworld's indifference demands action!
Baraka: But not the kind you encourage, Havik.

Havik: We free-thinkers must stick together.
Cyrax: I've no love for anarchy, Havik.

Havik: If the Shirai Ryu oppose me --
Cyrax: If, Havik?

Havik: We want the same thing: freedom to choose.
Cyrax: That is not a license to commit mass murder.

Havik: You are as shortsighted as the rest.
Cyrax: Chaos has few friends, Havik.

Havik: Your souls scream to be set free
Ermac: You will not be their liberator.

Havik: You wouldn't exist if it weren't for me.
Ermac: Which earns you no loyalty, Havik.

Havik: Why do you care what happened to Seido?
Ermac: We have friends among the dead.

Havik: I'll destroy you just to spite Quan Chi.
Ermac: Our fate is irrelevant to him.

Havik: Mature adults don't need leaders.
General Shao: But most aren't, which is why they do.

Havik: I can offer your army refuge in Seido.
General Shao: Outworld soldiers never retreat!

Havik: I can't wait for the chaos Onaga will unleash.
General Shao: You know I plan to release him?

Havik: How will your rule be less oppressive than Sindel's?
General Shao: Because Outworld won't genuflect to Liu Kang any longer.

Havik: If Liu Kang's the creator, my life is his fault!
Geras: He is not the architect of your oppression.

Havik: It's wrong to obey Liu Kang's will.
Geras: Should I not be free to make that choice?

Havik: Now I see it. The Hourglass is the source of all oppression.
Geras: You see nothing, Havik.

Havik: How can you spend eternity obeying another?
Geras: Why presume that's the sole purpose of my existence?

Havik: You give chaos a bad name.
Ghostface: And you don't? Huh. You've killed thousands!

Havik: My crusade has no use for you.
Ghostface: Did I say I wanted in on it?

Havik: You're a traitor to the cause!
Havik: Our endgame can't be anarchy!

Havik: It's suffering that brings us together.
Havik: And I won't stop until all Seidans feel our pain!

Havik: A radical is a doomed man.
Havik: Not in our case, comrade.

Havik: Anarchy is order!
Havik: And government is war.

Havik: Your revolution has succeeded?
Havik: My Seido is now blessed by Chaos.

Havik: I won't take help from outside agitators.
Havik: Then your uprising is doomed to fail.

Havik: I am going to liberate your innards from you.
Homelander: Now you need to come up with a better one-liner, mister.

Havik: You won't stand in the way of Seido's freedom.
Homelander: I don't even know what the hell Seido is.

Havik: My actions aren't driven by faith.
Johnny Cage: And I so wanted to call you the Cleric of Chaos.

Havik: Shall we let slip the dogs of war?
Johnny Cage: I'm gonna make you cry, Havik.

Havik: You'll document my revolt for posterity!
Johnny Cage: Talk about delusions of grandeur.

Havik: You're as bad as Seido's oppressors.
Johnny Cage: I am the best boss in Hollywood, okay? People love me!

Havik: You don't take me seriously?
Johnny Cage: Have you looked in a mirror?

Havik: Your family, your realm. No one will be spared!
Kenshi: Don't include us in your fight, Havik.

Havik: If you're Liu Kang's ally, you're my enemy.
Kenshi: Then we're enemies, Havik.

Havik: The future I'm birthing will be glorious.
Kenshi: It sounds like a living hell.

Havik: When Chaos reigns, people will --
Kenshi: Live in fear for their lives.

Havik: Your family's rule is as tyrannical as Orderrealm’s.
Kitana: Outworld is not Seido, Havik.

Havik: Outworld's lowest will rise against you.
Kitana: No, they won't. We care for them.

Havik: Few are born to privilege as you were.
Kitana: You think I am not aware?

Havik: Unlike you, I have nothing to lose.
Kitana: I'll still be the one who fights harder.

Havik: Your ancestors' accomplishments aren't yours.
Kung Lao: Does that make them any less impressive?

Havik: My so-called betters can't break my will.
Kung Lao: How is that the one thing we have in common?

Havik: The costs of refusing me will be high.
Kung Lao: You cannot scare us into being your ally.

Havik: Quan Chi empowered me when no one else would.
Kung Lao: He has only corrupted you.

Havik: You're the tool of an oppressor, Constable.
Li Mei: Empress Mileena is no despot.

Havik: Do you wish Sun Do to suffer Seido's fate?
Li Mei: Careful, Havik. The penalty for such threats is execution.

Havik: Banish laws and there would be no crime!
Li Mei: Or a way to protect the weak from the powerful.

Havik: Police only serve to enforce the wealthy's delusions.
Li Mei: A clueless and dangerous statement, Havik.

Havik: No realms, no borders, no gods!
Liu Kang: A fantasy born of self-delusion, Havik!

Havik: Seido won't be free until its last priest is dead!
Liu Kang: Faith ennobles, Havik! It does not oppress.

Havik: There can be no liberty when people worship tyrants.
Liu Kang: I am neither worshipped nor a tyrant, Havik.

Havik: If you'd add your magic to Rain's --
Liu Kang: I will not abet mass murder, Havik!

Havik: Produce Hotaru or watch Outworld burn.
Mileena: Seidan refugees will not be returned.

Havik: All your words are lies, all your wealth is stolen.
Mileena: I rule Outworld for its benefit, not mine.

Havik: You *will* accept Chaos, by choice or by force.
Mileena: I won't be threated by the likes of you.

Havik: Why should you be entitled to inherit Outworld?
Mileena: Because that is the will of Delia and Argus.

Havik: Your Coven should be overthrown.
Nitara: No Vaeternian would ever turn against it!

Havik: Rain assists me, why won't you?
Nitara: It won't aid my cause, Havik.

Havik: My attack on Seido's capital killed thousands!
Nitara: What a tremendous waste of food.

Havik: It's a shame we can't come to terms.
Nitara: Is it? I intend to enjoy this fight.

Havik: You only flirt with chaos. Embrace it!
Noob Saibot: I will be its master, not its slave.

Havik: We share an interest in toppling Liu Kang.
Noob Saibot: And yet I would *never* partner with you.

Havik: Tell me about this timeline of chaos.
Noob Saibot: I refuse to give you any ideas.

Havik: In your soul you know that chaos is perfection.
Noob Saibot: Only when it is balanced by order.

Havik: I bow to no one, Omni-Man.
Omni-Man: Then I'll pluck your legs off at the knees.

Havik: Obeying Thragg's orders makes you a servant.
Omni-Man: And I serve proudly as a son of Viltrum.

Havik: Only anarchy leads to peace.
Peacemaker: Just what the hell are you smoking, chief?

Havik: Do you know who I am?
Peacemaker: The bastard child of Joker and Two-Face?

Havik: Why would I help bring Ermac to heel?
Quan Chi: Do you wish to keep the powers I gave you?

Havik: Now that you need me, I'll be dictating terms.
Quan Chi: Don't overplay your hand, Havik.

Havik: If you move against me, I --
Quan Chi: You'll what. Kill me?

Havik: I'll liberate Outworld starting with the mines.
Quan Chi: My former brethren aren't worthy of freedom.

Havik: Disobedience is a virtue.
Raiden: Not when it costs innocent lives.

Havik: What do you know of revolution, Earthrealmer?
Raiden: Enough to know that you're making a mistake.

Havik: Seidans like me have suffered for centuries!
Raiden: For that you deserve justice, not revenge.

Havik: Why can't you see my realm is broken?
Raiden: Then fix it, don't destroy it!

Havik: I thought you were a true believer.
Rain: I was, and now I'm not.

Havik: The destruction you wrought exceeded my expectations.
Rain: It is the stuff of nightmares, Havik.

Havik: Your guilty conscience won't stop me, Rain.
Rain: No, but my hydromancy will.

Havik: Turning against me is a fatal mistake.
Rain: We shall see.

Havik: Chaos is an effective weapon.
Reiko: I am well aware, Havik.

Havik: Outworld also needs liberation.
Reiko: It does, but is not your fight.

Havik: Rain's joined my fight, so could you.
Reiko: I won't be distracted, Havik.

Havik: Whatever order Shao brings will inevitably fall apart.
Reiko: If only you appreciated his genius.

Havik: You've been made emissary to a corrupt regime.
Reptile: Burning it down won't fix it, Havik.

Havik: Others like you are slaughtered daily. You must rise up!
Reptile: Against whom? The killers remain a mystery.

Havik: When Mileena's regime falls, you'll fall along with it.
Reptile: It's more than worth the risk.

Havik: Outworld will be liberated next.
Reptile: Fewer desire that than you think.

Havik: You let yourself be Liu Kang's slave.
Scorpion: An opinion shared by my brother.

Havik: When you and I are finished --
Scorpion: Even more of you will be burned!

Havik: I need partners in rebellion.
Scorpion: You'll find none here, Havik.

Havik: Earthrealm shouldn't hide Seidan exiles.
Scorpion: We won't subject them to your justice, Havik.

Havik: You oppose anarchy?
Sektor: With every fiber of my being.

Havik: There is an entire timeline where anarchy reigns?
Sektor: It is not the kind you're fighting for.

Havik: Obstruct me, and I'll tear you apart!
Sektor: You may have the stomach for it, but you lack the skill.

Havik: We all bleed the same color.
Shang Tsung: And yet, I'm your superior.

Havik: I thought you were a fellow traveler.
Shang Tsung: In that, as in other things, you were wrong.

Havik: You don't approve of what I did to Seido's capital?
Shang Tsung: I have no taste for senseless destruction.

Havik: You would terminate our agreement?
Shang Tsung: I plan also to terminate you.

Havik: Anarchy is nothing to fear.
Sindel: It is the stepping stone to absolute power.

Havik: No one has the right to rule over others!
Sindel: Without government, society can't thrive!

Havik: Outworlders are slaves to your tyranny.
Sindel: You know nothing of my rule, Havik.

Havik: Leaders should be chosen by people, not gods.
Sindel: I prefer those who aren't self-appointed.

Havik: Free yourself from your clan's bondage.
Smoke: Why do you believe I'm enslaved?

Havik: The Shirai Ryu, the Lin Kuei: both are oppressors!
Smoke: There's no comparison, Havik.

Havik: You reject liberation?!
Smoke: I want no part of your chaos.

Havik: Oppose me, and you'll be killed.
Smoke: Shouldn't I be free to choose?

Havik: Join my cause, and you'll be paid well.
Sub-Zero: The Lin Kuei are not mercenaries.

Havik: We were both played for fools.
Sub-Zero: Shang Tsung and Quan Chi will pay.

Havik: Aid me, and I'll destroy the Shirai Ryu.
Sub-Zero: That is *my* privilege, Havik.

Havik: Deny me and become my enemy.
Sub-Zero: Watch me shiver with fear.

Havik: I respect a man who fights his oppressors.
Takeda: That means nothing to me, Havik.

Havik: You block my path?! This isn't your fight!
Takeda: After what you did to Kenshi, it is.

Havik: Earthrealm will be liberated next.
Takeda: Thanks, but no thanks.

Havik: If you refuse to embrace Chaos --
Takeda: Stop! I get the idea.

Havik: Oppose the revolution, and you'll die where you stand.
Tanya: I like my chances, Havik.

Havik: Those you serve are oppressors.
Tanya: Privileged, yes. Oppressors, no.

Havik: Renounce Delia and be free of her strictures.
Tanya: My faith in the Goddess is what gives my life meaning!

Havik: You are blind to the chains that shackle you.
Tanya: Or perhaps you see some where none are.

Homelander: There's no good, no evil. Just power.
Ashrah: Perhaps in your world. But not mine.

Homelander: No, no. This is fun, You see, demons aren't a thing back home.
Ashrah: Are you sure? I am looking at one right now.

Homelander: Look at yourself. You're disgusting.
Baraka: Better to have my sick body than your sick mind.

Homelander: You're scared. I can hear your heart racing.
Baraka: That's not fear. That's my illness.

Homelander: You should be in awe of me.
Cyrax: I am awed by honor, not power.

Homelander: I can crush you like a grape. You know that, right?
Cyrax: Do I look remotely concerned?

Homelander: If all you've got is telekinesis --
Ermac: That is just one of our powers.

Homelander: All the souls in the world won't save you.
Ermac: You are a fool to believe so.

Homelander: Good job, buckaroo. You've just declared war.
General Shao: And I intend to relish every minute of it.

Homelander: After you, I'm wasting your entire army. Just for fun.
General Shao: A fantasy you'll never make real.

Homelander: I'm the world's greatest superhero.
Geras: A cape does not a hero make.

Homelander: I am done being persecuted for my strength.
Geras: Your strength is not why you are loathed.

Homelander: This is pathetic. I'll kill you in seconds.
Ghostface: Go ahead. The sequel's already greenlit.

Homelander: I'm gonna enjoy every moment of tearing you apart.
Ghostface: You auditioning to wear this mask next?

Homelander: You won't win this fight.
Havik: I don't have to. Your soul already drowns in chaos.

Homelander: So how'd you lose half your face, anyway?
Havik: The same way you're about to lose yours.

Homelander: What if Vought's right. What if I am just talent?
Homelander: What do you care what a bunch of mud people think?

Homelander: You've finally become who you're meant to be.
Homelander: Pure. Clean. Like marble.

Homelander: You and me, we're different. We're better.
Homelander: *I'm* better. You still cry like a baby for love and approval.

Homelander: I don't need anyone.
Homelander: You need me, tiger, to beat the weakness out of you.

Homelander: You picked a stupid way to die.
Johnny Cage: As long as I take you with me.

Homelander: You know, in a few seconds you'll be a meat puddle.
Johnny Cage: Meat Puddle?! That was my punk band in college!

Homelander: Another useless fucking blind guy?!
Kenshi: Useless? I'll show you useless.

Homelander: Don't be an idiot. Your sword can't cut me.
Kenshi: There is much more to Sento than its edge.

Homelander: Oh no, no, no. It's okay. Most women have superhero fantasies.
Kitana: Not this one, Homelander.

Homelander: Why you people think you can resist me --
Kitana: If we can foil Titans, we can foil you.

Homelander: A razor hat?! That's fucking lame.
Kung Lao: Is it? Let us find out.

Homelander: That you think you'll survive this is --
Kung Lao: Admirable? Of course it is.

Homelander: I was born with powers. That's no crime.
Li Mei: It was for those who polluted your body.

Homelander: Oh, what? You're not a fan?
Li Mei: A despot who wields superpowers? It's a recipe for injustice.

Homelander: Fire tricks? Oooh!
Liu Kang: It is not mere fire. It is godly wrath.

Homelander: You want me to give up my powers?!
Liu Kang: Yes. Before they corrupt you absolutely.

Homelander: You need me. You need me to save you.
Mileena: I would never entrust you with Outworld's safety.

Homelander: No powers, no tech, no chance.
Mileena: I will make you eat your words!

Homelander: You look like a rip-off of this guy in The Seven.
Noob Saibot: Is he as deadly?

Homelander: Why can't you shut up. Y'know, Black Noir doesn't talk.
Noob Saibot: Who gives themselves a redundant name?

Homelander: You got spunk for an old man. I like that!
Omni-Man: Well, you're a cocky prick and I loathe you.

Homelander: Hug your kid, 'cause you never know what might--
Omni-Man: You're fucking with the wrong father.

Homelander: What? Got a problem with the stars and stripes?
Peacemaker: No, with assholes who wrap themselves in the flag.

Homelander: Are you nuts?! You can't take me.
Peacemaker: Just watch me, motherfucker.

Homelander: Wow. Nice ink. It mean anything?
Quan Chi: A sorcerer never tells.

Homelander: Face it. I'm too fast and too strong.
Quan Chi: Magic will level the playing field.

Homelander: You're not the real hero.
Raiden: And you are?

Homelander: There are no gods. The only man in the sky is me!
Raiden: Liu Kang would beg to differ.

Homelander: I am not like the rest of you.
Rain: Thank Argus for that.

Homelander: What makes you think you can kill me?
Rain: Your body is ninety-five percent water.

Homelander: Do you have any idea how many soldiers I've killed?
Reiko: I know you won't be killing any others.

Homelander: No one you've fought has prepared you for me.
Reiko: I've tamed Onaga. Taming you will be child's pay.

Homelander: Shapeshifting isn't gonna save your life.
Reptile: It need only buy me enough time to finish yours.

Homelander: Let's see this reptile hiding inside you. C'mon, impress me.
Reptile: As you wish.

Homelander: It'd be a shame if something happened to your wife.
Scorpion: And a fatal error for the one who might try it.

Homelander: Your choice: death or obedience
Scorpion: Neither.

Homelander: Girls get it done, okay? I have no problem with bad-ass women.
Sektor: You have one with me, Homelander.

Homelander: Apparently, you want to die today.
Sektor: That is not my plan.

Homelander: A sorcerer? Oh you've gotta be kidding me.
Shang Tsung: Others may have failed, but I will not.

Homelander: It won't be two seconds before you beg for mercy.
Shang Tsung: I don't ever beg, Homelander.

Homelander: I'm faster, I'm smarter, and I'm --
Sindel: Too pompous to let live.

Homelander: You know this is suicide, right?
Sindel: Yours? Yes.

Homelander: You think a little smoke worries me?
Smoke: It might not, but it should.

Homelander: Goddamn it, you're bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.
Smoke: And a skilled kombatant.

Homelander: You're not afraid. Why?
Sub-Zero: Because I am Lin Kuei.

Homelander: What part of 'I'm invulnerable' don't you get?
Sub-Zero: No one is invulnerable.

Homelander: Are you here to die like your cousin did?
Takeda: To avenge him, Homelander.

Homelander: How many of you Shirai Ryu are there?
Takeda: You're mistaken, thinking I'm one of them.

Homelander: You should thank your gods I am what I am!
Tanya: Delia and Argus would think you an abomination.

Homelander: If I want Outworld's throne, I'm taking it.
Tanya: You will never get past the Umgadi.

Johnny Cage: It's hard to believe there's a demon inside there.
Ashrah: My true face would horrify you, Cage.

Johnny Cage: I love redemption stories.
Ashrah: Yet mine is not for sale.

Johnny Cage: C'mon, a tour would really help my story research.
Ashrah: No living creature should visit the Netherrealm.

Johnny Cage: I've been in recovery too, y'know.
Ashrah: We all have our inner demons.

Johnny Cage: Your kriss would look outstanding on my mantel.
Ashrah: I could never part with Datusha.

Johnny Cage: You should see the Tarkatan cosplay at CageCon. Chef’s kisses!
Baraka: Your followers mock my affliction?!

Johnny Cage: So far, I've got no signs of Tarkat.
Baraka: Perhaps Earthrealmers are immune…

Johnny Cage: Y'know a guy like me and girl like you --
Cyrax: Don't belong together in *any* timeline.

Johnny Cage: Be in my next flick, and your star will go supernova.
Cyrax: Not everyone craves celebrity, Cage.

Johnny Cage: Let me, and I'll be ketchup to your mustard.
Cyrax: That would be a firm no.

Johnny Cage: A little birdie told me you've got a past with Kuai Liang.
Cyrax: Tell me who has been spreading such lies!

Johnny Cage: Now if I had *you* as a bodyguard --
Ermac: It is your soul which should concern you.

Johnny Cage: Jerrod! Sindel! Are you in there?!
Ermac: They do not speak for the Collection.

Johnny Cage: Why'd you name yourselves 'Ermac' anyway?
Ermac: To understand, learn Outworld history.

Johnny Cage: He/Him? They/Them? What are your pronouns?
Ermac: We do not understand.

Johnny Cage: I am Johnny. You’re no fun.
Ermac: You mock us, Earthrealmer?

Johnny Cage: You're about as stock as they come, villain.
General Shao: What does that even mean?!

Johnny Cage: Woah! And I thought Bi-Han needed a breath mint.
General Shao: Silence, Earthrealmer!

Johnny Cage: I was kidding about the tiny muscles, dude. You are like RIPPED.
General Shao: You think flattery will save you?

Johnny Cage: It's like toxic and masculine had a meet cute!
General Shao: You have insulted me for the last time, Cage!

Johnny Cage: Your boy Liu seems to have big plans for you.
Geras: They are not for you and I to discuss.

Johnny Cage: You'll only be on set a day, buddy. In and out.
Geras: The answer is still no.

Johnny Cage: You liking how Liu Kang rewrote your character?
Geras: It suits me, Johnny Cage.

Johnny Cage: Must be hard staying sharp after a billion lives.
Geras: Yet the show must go on.

Johnny Cage: I don't buy Liu Kang's tournament wasn't fixed.
Geras: Accept that you squandered your chance.

Johnny Cage: You're nuttier than a Granny Cartlon fruitcake.
Ghostface: I prefer the term psychotic.

Johnny Cage: Heeere's Johnny!
Ghostface: Finally someone gets the game I'm playing.

Johnny Cage: As ring names go, Havik's a wee bit on the nose.
Havik: My given name didn't inspire the necessary fear.

Johnny Cage: Well I guess we know who lost the face-off with Kuai Liang!
Havik: And he will burn like I did.

Johnny Cage: You are one ugly mother --
Havik: My face won't be the only thing you dread.

Johnny Cage: The body horror thing. That, uh, that works for you?
Havik: You should see how Seido cowers before me.

Johnny Cage: Upon further review, I'm digging your grindhouse vibe.
Havik: What is a grindhouse, Earthrealmer?

Johnny Cage: Having powers doesn't make you a megastar.
Homelander: No, they make me a god.

Johnny Cage: Hold up. You do movies, too?
Homelander: Oh, want an autograph?

Johnny Cage: He's a bird, he's a plane --
Homelander: And I'm the last thing you're ever gonna see.

Johnny Cage: So…Thoughts on the Temple of Katara Vala?
Johnny Cage: Would've been a better indie film.

Johnny Cage: Whoa, dude! You are so cut!
Johnny Cage: Yeah! I'm on the Santa Clarita diet.

Johnny Cage: I finally meet Hollywood Boulevard Johnny!
Johnny Cage: Fans love me! Do you know what they'll pay for a selfie?

Johnny Cage: I still say I should play me in the biopic…
Johnny Cage: But I look just like you! And fight like you, too!

Johnny Cage: Two Johnnies. One Timeline.
Johnny Cage: Man, this has megahit written all over it.

Johnny Cage: I'm still sleeping off CCA's holiday party, right?
Johnny Cage: Nope! I'm as real as it gets, bro!

Johnny Cage: Thanks so much for taking this part.
Kenshi: Thank *you* for the points.

Johnny Cage: No! Ninja Priest 4 was Full Confession, 3 was Last Rites.
Kenshi: You've seen one, you've seen them all.

Johnny Cage: This Jax guy you're working with…Is he good people?
Kenshi: He's quite the all-American hero.

Johnny Cage: You're coming to Outworld for the shoot, right?
Kenshi: Wouldn't miss it for the world.

Johnny Cage: Well, if it isn't Special Agent Takahashi of the F.B.I.
Kenshi: It's not funny anymore, Cage.

Johnny Cage: I saw that smile at dinner. You like me.
Kitana: No, Cage. You amuse me.

Johnny Cage: How is a dream of my death funny, Princess?
Kitana: I dreamt you suffocated under a pile of women.

Johnny Cage: You're wearing that outfit like you're doing it a favor.
Kitana: You did not just say that. Are you a child?

Johnny Cage: C'mon. A woman like you belongs with a man like me.
Kitana: Earthrealmer, you have lost your mind.

Johnny Cage: Check. Us. Out. Two dripilicious, single people --
Kitana: You are truly relentless Cage.

Johnny Cage: Are you sure you don't want to be an action star?
Kung Lao: The monks forbid it, Johnny.

Johnny Cage: Was Madam Bo flirting with me?
Kung Lao: For sure. You are completely her type.

Johnny Cage: I need a great female martial artist. Know any?
Kung Lao: You need to meet Raiden's sister.

Johnny Cage: Doing my own stunts has been hell on my back.
Kung Lao: You already are making excuses?

Johnny Cage: My hometown is a lot like yours.
Kung Lao: No wonder you got yourself out.

Johnny Cage: It'll be Sun Do-set police drama: *First Constable*
Li Mei: Earthrealmers are entertained by such drivel?

Johnny Cage: Li, Mei I have this fight?
Li Mei: That was criminal, Earthrealmer.

Johnny Cage: You must have, like, a million stories.
Li Mei: None of them are for you.

Johnny Cage: Usually with über-celebrities, cops look the other way.
Li Mei: That isn't how justice should be blind.

Johnny Cage: Megastars like me need round-the-clock protection.
Li Mei: I can't think of a more thankless task.

Johnny Cage: You cool with me posting Outworld pics on social?
Liu Kang: Social what, Johnny Cage?

Johnny Cage: So last time around, I hooked up with someone else?
Liu Kang: Spoilers, Johnny Cage.

Johnny Cage: I don't know how, but you made me even more perfect.
Liu Kang: If only I had made you more humble.

Johnny Cage: Are you sure your mini-tournament wasn't rigged?
Liu Kang: Raiden's victory was honestly earned.

Johnny Cage: I'm telling you, Geras is leading man material.
Liu Kang: Much more so than you grasp…

Johnny Cage: There ain't nothing hotter than a warrior princess.
Mileena: Careful, Cage, Lest you get burned.

Johnny Cage: Okay, I'll say it. That look's got me bugging.
Mileena: Are all Earthrealm males so easily frightened?

Johnny Cage: Where I'm from, princesses aren't taught to kick ass.
Mileena: What a failure of imagination.

Johnny Cage: What would you say to a little slap and tickle?
Mileena: You're not my type, Cage. Pay attention.

Johnny Cage: Vampire stories never get old.
Nitara: Nor do Vaeternians, Earthrealmer.

Johnny Cage: The wings? The fangs? Girl, you're gonna own awards season.
Nitara: I'm so glad I please you, Cage.

Johnny Cage: Why are vampires always such foxes?
Nitara: How better to lure you in?

Johnny Cage: You go near Cristina, and I'll show you a new level of hurt.
Nitara: Struck a vein, haven't I?

Johnny Cage: Well, that look's no crime of fashion.
Nitara: Kind words won't save your life, Earthrealmer.

Johnny Cage: New look, old problem. You still owe me for the Hichuli!
Noob Saibot: You will not be paid!

Johnny Cage: What in the Lin Kuei happened to you?
Noob Saibot: I was perfected by Chaos.

Johnny Cage: Bro. I knew you were dark. But did ya have to go full Sith Lord?
Noob Saibot: What is a Sith Lord?

Johnny Cage: C'mon. Who fights better? GI Johnny or me?
Noob Saibot: Neither of you impress.

Johnny Cage: You look like the dad I never had.
Omni-Man: You're fragile. *MY* son… is Invincible.

Johnny Cage: You know, you could use some anger management training.
Omni-Man: Get out of my sight before I demolish you.

Johnny Cage: The things I could do with your life story…
Peacemaker: How about we make it a streaming series?

Johnny Cage: That helmet makes you look like a silver tipped --
Peacemaker: Superhero? Thank you.

Johnny Cage: Oo! Oo! Can we wand duel!? I'd love to try that!
Quan Chi: I am a sorcerer, not a wizard, Cage.

Johnny Cage: You'd kill your own mother to get ahead, wouldn't you?
Quan Chi: I would, and I have.

Johnny Cage: I hear the Netherrealm's freaking hotter than the Valley.
Quan Chi: You should judge that for yourself.

Johnny Cage: Usually I don't hate on people. But you --
Quan Chi: I'm glad to have made an impression.

Johnny Cage: Bleached Bone' is a good color on you.
Quan Chi: Then it's fitting I'll adorn myself with yours.

Johnny Cage: I saw you eyeing Kitana at the tournament.
Raiden: Was I that obvious, Johnny?

Johnny Cage: What's up, Thunder Lad?
Raiden: By the Elder Gods, I hate that nickname.

Johnny Cage: C'mon, I'll get you the Timequake All-Access Pass.
Raiden: I doubt Lord Liu Kang wants me at CageCon.

Johnny Cage: You are the champion, my friend.
Raiden: I'll keep on fighting until the end.

Johnny Cage: What I saw in Outworld flipped my mind upside down.
Raiden: I'm told there's more, even stranger things.

Johnny Cage: Here comes that Rain again.
Rain: I'll fall on your head like the Nuem Ocean!

Johnny Cage: So you want to be Earthrealm's BFF now?
Rain: I didn't turn toward you, I turned way from Shao.

Johnny Cage: Come rain, come shine, your ass is mine.
Rain: Your dry wit parches me, Earthealmer.

Johnny Cage: Water Wielder' is a great nickname! The alliteration alone --
Rain: I prefer Rain.

Johnny Cage: You're all wet if you think you can beat me.
Rain: I've had enough of your posturing, Cage.

Johnny Cage: And here I thought you were some kind of super soldier.
Reiko: You'll marvel at my skills, Earthrealmer.

Johnny Cage: What made you such a war horse?
Reiko: The General's guidance and discipline.

Johnny Cage: Don't think you can toy with me, soldier.
Reiko: I will crush you, Earthrealmer.

Johnny Cage: Time to dress you up in a full metal jacket.
Reiko: Is that supposed to threaten me?

Johnny Cage: I did not see you and Ashrah coming. Kudos, sir.
Reptile: What are kudos, Johnny?

Johnny Cage: Syzoth is a mouthful. Can I just call you Reptile?
Reptile: Only if you beat me.

Johnny Cage: Chillaxing with Kang must beat slaving for Shang.
Reptile: It's a significant improvement.

Johnny Cage: Chuck left: yeah! But I need a new assistant. You game?
Reptile: Oh, I've had my fill of toiling for others.

Johnny Cage: Humanoid or reptiloid, I'm gonna take you.
Reptile: I'm guessing you've never fought a Zaterran.

Johnny Cage: Y'know my big brother was an asshole, too.
Scorpion: One of the few things we have in common.

Johnny Cage: Bi-Han's got you all fired up, eh?
Scorpion: He'll burn for betraying my father.

Johnny Cage: With your skills you'd be a hit, Kuai Liang.
Scorpion: Do I look like an entertainer?

Johnny Cage: Now what's the harm in me riding along?
Scorpion: The Shirai Ryu's secrets must remain so, Cage.

Johnny Cage: You haven't lived until you've walked the red carpet.
Scorpion: Fame is but a fleeting mirage.

Johnny Cage: Don't look now, but we're on camera.
Sektor: Is it here to record your death?

Johnny Cage: Sektor? That's really your name?
Sektor: As far as you're concerned.

Johnny Cage: Attacking that wedding was dirty pool.
Sektor: Your view means nothing to me.

Johnny Cage: You are lucky Harumi called Kuai Liang off.
Sektor: He would not and could not have ended me.

Johnny Cage: You ever count up the lies you've told?
Shang Tsung: I doubt a number that large exists.

Johnny Cage: Your lab is the filthiest place I've ever seen.
Shang Tsung: I'm sure your creative process is just as messy.

Johnny Cage: You ever thought of using that big brain for good?
Shang Tsung: I do, Mr. Cage. My own good.

Johnny Cage: You're who'd know! Is ensorcelled, like, even a word?
Shang Tsung: I won't dignify that question with an answer.

Johnny Cage: I have had enough of your reindeer games.
Shang Tsung: Then I shall eliminate you, Mr. Cage.

Johnny Cage: If Tanya doesn't work out, I will happily guard that body.
Sindel: You embarrass yourself, Earthrealmer.

Johnny Cage: It's what's called a reality show, okay? We follow you and the girls --
Sindel: I won't allow Earthrealmers into my inner sanctum.

Johnny Cage: If I had a queen, she'd be just like you.
Sindel: As if you could have one like me.

Johnny Cage: It's gotta be hard, running Outworld.
Sindel: A woman's job is never done.

Johnny Cage: How goes it with the new boy, Hanzo?
Smoke: He'll soon be a full Shirai Ryu.

Johnny Cage: You and Kuai Liang have been MIA.
Smoke: We've had our hands full fighting Bi-Han.

Johnny Cage: Win and you'll get a speaking part in my next movie.
Smoke: That would be amazing, Johnny.

Johnny Cage: Now that I'm single, I could sure use a wingman.
Smoke: Wait? Are you asking me?!

Johnny Cage: That Harumi is quite the catch.
Smoke: I doubt Kuai Liang could've done better.

Johnny Cage: Y'know you still owe me for that Hichuli.
Sub-Zero: You'll never see payment, Cage.

Johnny Cage: Why'd you go rogue? I could've made you a star.
Sub-Zero: I want power, not fame.

Johnny Cage: Time for your close up. Camera's rolling.
Sub-Zero: It will capture your final act.

Johnny Cage: I thought I had daddy issues. But you?
Sub-Zero: My family is none of your business.

Johnny Cage: You can’t stand it that Liu Kang picked me, can you?
Sub-Zero: Easily his worst ever decision.

Johnny Cage: C'mon, Kenshi Two. Show me the boom.
Takeda: Let's call this whole thing off.

Johnny Cage: My boy Kenshi straight-up whupped your ass, bro!
Takeda: Only because he has a magic sword.

Johnny Cage: Ooh! Let's say I pair you with an archer, a couple of soldiers --
Takeda: I *don't* want to be in some super-team action movie.

Johnny Cage: I've got this friend, Jacqui. I think she'd dig you.
Takeda: Is she Hollywood, too?

Johnny Cage: I need a new bodyguard. You hire out?
Tanya: A ludicrous question, Cage.

Johnny Cage: Are you sure I can't get cameras inside?
Tanya: Only Umgadi may enter the Cenobium.

Johnny Cage: Are you sure Kitana doesn't dig me?
Tanya: She has her eyes on another, Earthrealmer.

Johnny Cage: In this corner, four-time world champ Johnny Cage.
Tanya: In this one, someone truly unimpressed.

Johnny Cage JCVD: Two Johnnies. One Timeline.
Johnny Cage JCVD: Now that's a double team!

Johnny Cage JCVD: I finally meet Hollywood Boulevard Johnny!
Johnny Cage JCVD: Be glad I'm not some cheap-ass knock off.

Johnny Cage JCVD: I still say I should play me in the biopic…
Johnny Cage JCVD: But I look just like you! And fight like you, too!

Johnny Cage JCVD: Take your mustache and cape and find a bus to catch.
Omni-Man: Oh, this guy's funny.

Johnny Cage JCVD: I'll kick your ass so hard your kids will feel it.
Omni-Man: You'd have more luck kicking a tree.

Kenshi: This is a battle of magic swords.
Ashrah: We’ll see which is more enchanted.

Kenshi: Your kriss senses Sento's souls?
Ashrah: There are evil ones hiding among them.

Kenshi: Just how big is the Netherrealm?
Ashrah: I do not think anyone has found its borders.

Kenshi: You and Syzoth are an interesting match.
Ashrah: I find him to be a kindred spirit.

Kenshi: What happened to the hybrids Shang made from you?
Baraka: They will be seen no more.

Kenshi: No one welcomes your people, do they?
Baraka: Only other Tarkatans.

Kenshi: As a tribune, you fought Vaeternians?
Baraka: There are few in the realms more wicked.

Kenshi: With Liu Kang's help, maybe they'll find a cure.
Baraka: If he could've helped, he would have done so by now.

Kenshi: Your pal Sektor is a piece of work.
Cyrax: She and I are not 'pals'.

Kenshi: How long has your family been Lin Kuei?
Cyrax: Longer than the Taira have been Yakuza.

Kenshi: Havik's timeline must have been --
Cyrax: I wish to think of it no further.

Kenshi: So many minds. So many voices.
Ermac: You hear our thoughts?

Kenshi: Without you, I wouldn't have unlocked Sento's power.
Ermac: You are glad We tried taking your life?

Kenshi: I'd rather not repeat our first fight.
Ermac: Then why are you here?

Kenshi: I would rather we remain allies.
Ermac: First prove worthy of our fellowship.

Kenshi: Today, you lose to another Earthrealm champion.
General Shao: Today I'll crush your skull in my hands.

Kenshi: There are more like you at home?
General Shao: My many siblings are just as strong and fierce.

Kenshi: You're helping Outworld by plunging it into civil war?
General Shao: And wiping out the cancer that is the current regime.

Kenshi: Peace is preferable to war, General.
General Shao: Not when you live on your knees.

Kenshi: You've literally seen it all, haven't you?
Geras: Every minute, every moment, for eternity.

Kenshi: How am I supposed to beat *you*?
Geras: Trust your instincts, Kenshi Takahashi.

Kenshi: Some days I wonder if I’m Earthrealm’s greatest swordsman.
Geras: Do not be consumed by proving that true.

Kenshi: Is it my destiny to free the Taira?
Geras: That question is for Liu Kang.

Kenshi: Your bloodshed stops here.
Ghostface: What are you? The Tokyo gore police?

Kenshi: Even the Yakuza's killers aren't as twisted as you.
Ghostface: Maybe they should try harder.

Kenshi: Why did you come to Earthrealm, Havik?
Havik: To wipe the slate clean.

Kenshi: Scorpion did that to your face?
Havik: I plan to repay him soon.

Kenshi: Your New Era isn't something I'd like.
Havik: Are you mad? It will be paradise!

Kenshi: You won't find many allies in Earthrealm.
Havik: I only need a few.

Kenshi: I don't need sight to see your flaws.
Homelander: I don't have *any* flaws. I am perfection.

Kenshi: We'll see how you stack up against Sento.
Homelander: Oh, no. We'll see how you look when I shove it up your ass.

Kenshi: C'mon, Johnny. Forty takes is enough.
Johnny Cage: We don't wrap until it's perfect.

Kenshi: You ever talk to Cristina?
Johnny Cage: I can't. It's too damned hard.

Kenshi: You really thought it was a gag, didn't you?
Johnny Cage: Two ninja and a fire god showed up at my door.

Kenshi: Sorry you had to sell the mansion.
Johnny Cage: Yeah, divorce is expensive my friend.

Kenshi: How are you reading my thoughts?!
Kenshi: You're not a telepath too?

Kenshi: Is your Cage as bad as mine?
Kenshi: As bad? He's worse.

Kenshi: If a man named Song approaches you, kill him.
Kenshi: Why? Who is he?

Kenshi: I can't believe you're still Yakuza.
Kenshi: Without them, I'd be nothing.

Kenshi: You can't be real. It's impossible!
Kenshi: After all you've seen, how can you say that?

Kenshi: Who's Keeper of Time where you're from?
Kenshi: Until recently, it was Kano.

Kenshi: Ever battle a blind swordsman?
Kitana: You aren't the first, Takahashi.

Kenshi: Will others challenge your sister?
Kitana: After Shao's failed coup, far fewer.

Kenshi: The OIA isn't a threat, Your Highness.
Kitana: Then Liu Kang won't mind we do something similar?

Kenshi: I've been looking forward to this fight.
Kitana: You enjoy losing that much, Earthrealmer?

Kenshi: You've a lot to learn about the world, Kung Lao.
Kung Lao: I am not as sheltered as you think.

Kenshi: Sento’s souls aren’t impressed with your hat.
Kung Lao: How quickly that will change.

Kenshi: You came so close to being Earthrealm's champion.
Kung Lao: It would have been awesome. That amulet paired with my hat!

Kenshi: I would pay to see your ego fight Johnny's.
Kung Lao: Not too much, I hope. It would be a short fight.

Kenshi: My past crimes are catching up to me.
Li Mei: No one can escape justice.

Kenshi: Outworld has organized crime?
Li Mei: Its curse isn't unique to Earthrealm.

Kenshi: Jax and the OIA want us to cooperate.
Li Mei: Only with the Empress's blessing.

Kenshi: I've never met a cop I couldn't take down.
Li Mei: There's a first time for everything.

Kenshi: Kuai Liang says I shouldn't trust the Black Dragon.
Liu Kang: In this, as in all timelines, they are scoundrels.

Kenshi: Suchin wants me back?
Liu Kang: You made as strong an impression as she did.

Kenshi: Will I ever be free of the Yakuza?
Liu Kang: It depends upon the road you choose.

Kenshi: You set things up so I’d fight Johnny for Sento.
Liu Kang: I wanted you to meet. The fight was your decision.

Kenshi: May this fight be less exciting than our last.
Mileena: Where's your sense of adventure, Kenshi?

Kenshi: Have you been back to Shang's lab?
Mileena: Once. To monitor its destruction.

Kenshi: One doesn't forget almost being vivisected.
Mileena: Nor almost having one's throne stolen.

Kenshi: I doubt I'll ever fight another empress.
Mileena: Then I'll make this fight one to remember.

Kenshi: You won't get a foothold in Earthrealm.
Nitara: Won't we, Kenshi?

Kenshi: Shouldn't you be allergic to sunlight?
Nitara: Thanks to Quan Chi, I no longer am.

Kenshi: Tell me where to find Shang Tsung.
Nitara: Why would I know where he is?

Kenshi: Vaeternus first attacked Earthrealm centuries ago?
Nitara: Where else would your vampire myths come from?

Kenshi: You know we won't let the Lin Kuei win.
Noob Saibot: Neither you, nor Sento, can stop us.

Kenshi: So you and Sektor, eh? Hm. That tracks.
Noob Saibot: If that is mockery, you are a dead man.

Kenshi: You're no use to anyone in that condition.
Noob Saibot: My followers would disagree.

Kenshi: Throwing the Lin Kuei into chaos --
Noob Saibot: Is not what I am doing!

Kenshi: Are you from Johnny's new superhero movie?
Omni-Man: I'm here to save you all from yourselves.

Kenshi: Ever tire of ending fights with one punch?
Omni-Man: Maybe I'll draw this one out.

Kenshi: Now do you take me seriously?
Peacemaker: Consider the lesson learned.

Kenshi: Has anyone tried getting you home?
Peacemaker: Why would I go back? I freaking love it here!

Kenshi: It's too bad that Soul Stealer didn't finish you.
Quan Chi: I am difficult to kill.

Kenshi: It's people like you that make peace impossible.
Quan Chi: Very quick to judge, aren't you Takahashi?

Kenshi: I don't want to see you in Earthrealm or near it.
Quan Chi: You can't see me at all.

Kenshi: Why couldn't you stay locked up?
Quan Chi: What would be the fun in that?

Kenshi: Shang Tsung's lab was terrifying.
Raiden: He can't ever practice sorcery again.

Kenshi: Truthfully, did you think you would win?
Raiden: Not until *after* I defeated the General.

Kenshi: Johnny's helping me. Why won't you?
Raiden: It's not for the Shaolin to battle the Yakuza.

Kenshi: There's another tournament coming up?
Raiden: In the next one, we fight Seido.

Kenshi: Water should cleanse, not kill.
Rain: The former often requires the latter.

Kenshi: I learned your real name. No wonder you don't use it.
Rain: Do not mock what you don't understand.

Kenshi: If Rain's a nickname, what's your real one?
Rain: My parents named me Zeffeero.

Kenshi: A lot of people are looking to nab you.
Rain: Like water, I will slip through their fingers.

Kenshi: You really love being a soldier, don't you?
Reiko: Every meal's a banquet. Every formation a parade.

Kenshi: Your Black Hawks are down.
Reiko: That was just the first wave, Earthrealmer.

Kenshi: We've got your army on the run.
Reiko: If you say so, Earthrealmer.

Kenshi: It's immoral for children to fight wars.
Reiko: How else should I have spent my youth?

Kenshi: There were safer ways to create that diversion.
Reptile: I did what I thought I had to, Kenshi.

Kenshi: I’d still love to know how you become invisible.
Reptile: No experiments, Kenshi.

Kenshi: Kung Lao wanted you to scare Raiden's sister?
Reptile: He can be so immature.

Kenshi: So Ashrah is now a Shaolin.
Reptile: I couldn't be happier for her.

Kenshi: Why won't you help train the Taira?
Scorpion: The Shirai Ryu's methods aren't to be shared.

Kenshi: Liu Kang's revelation stunned me, too.
Scorpion: I fear there are other truths he's hidden.

Kenshi: My war on the Yakuza has a new ally.
Scorpion: You cannot trust the Black Dragon, Kenshi.

Kenshi: How is it you haven't been to Outworld?
Scorpion: Earthrealm's defense has never required it.

Kenshi: I see more with Sento than you do with that suit.
Sektor: Doubtful, Takahashi.

Kenshi: Rebelling against Liu Kang was pointless.
Sektor: Not from where I stand.

Kenshi: You and Bi-Han deserve each other.
Sektor: I couldn't agree more.

Kenshi: Your mind's diseased, Shang Tsung.
Shang Tsung: Like many great artists, I'm so misunderstood.

Kenshi: Your lab is gone, your experiments are finished.
Shang Tsung: You think that was my only facility?

Kenshi: What's your plan, sorcerer?
Shang Tsung: Kill you, then take your place.

Kenshi: You'd be right at home in the Yakuza.
Shang Tsung: Who are they? And how might I find them?

Kenshi: I'm sure losing the tournament stung.
Sindel: You have no idea how much.

Kenshi: Who is this Onaga Shao wants to tame?
Sindel: The most dangerous creature to ever roam Outworld.

Kenshi: I'm told your evil twin was something else.
Sindel: The thought of her repulses me.

Kenshi: I didn't know kombat was one of your hobbies.
Sindel: A hobby? It is a vocation.

Kenshi: Kung Lao and Raiden mistook *you* for a gangster?
Smoke: Johnny isn't the only one who can act.

Kenshi: Why keep the Shirai Ryu's location secret?
Smoke: So that the Lin Kuei can't find it.

Kenshi: A war between clans isn't good for anyone.
Smoke: How else can Bi-Han be stopped?

Kenshi: Your smoke against Sento's steel
Smoke: Care to put your money where that mouth is?

Kenshi: My ancestors say they've tangled with yours.
Sub-Zero: Has it occurred to you to ask them why?

Kenshi: Why do you so resent Liu Kang's authority?
Sub-Zero: Give it time. You will understand.

Kenshi: Your Lin Kuei are now outlaws.
Sub-Zero: We answer to none but our own.

Kenshi: You can't beat the Yakuza alone.
Takeda: Then help me! Or stay out of my way.

Kenshi: There is little of the gangster life I miss.
Takeda: Same…except for Chiyoko.

Kenshi: The Taira's name must be restored.
Takeda: It's ancient history. Let it go.

Kenshi: Learn from my mistakes. Do not trust the Black Dragon.
Takeda: I don't intend to, Kenshi.

Kenshi: You know I'm fighting blind, right?
Tanya: Not with Sento, you're not.

Kenshi: Umgadi come from all over Outworld?
Tanya: All first-born females become postulants.

Kenshi: You need us to test your defenses?
Tanya: I'm concerned the Umgadi have lost their edge.

Kenshi: Becoming Matron Superior is the pinnacle of your career?
Tanya: There is nowhere to go but down.

Kitana: You are the first demon I've met.
Ashrah: May you not have the misfortune of meeting others.

Kitana: Can all demons assume humanoid form?
Ashrah: Only those of us who are cambions.

Kitana: I question whether Liu Kang should believe in you.
Ashrah: An understandable but ignorant concern.

Kitana: If I had sisters like yours --
Ashrah: Outworld would be a very different place.

Kitana: I see you, and I worry about my sister.
Baraka: You're right to be concerned.

Kitana: The changes you seek must be made slowly.
Baraka: My patience wears thin, Princess.

Kitana: When you became ill, your assets were taken?
Baraka: As required by your mother's edict, Princess.

Kitana: Shang Tsung has retreated to an island.
Baraka: Give me three days. I will raise an armada.

Kitana: You have not earned my trust yet.
Cyrax: All I ask for is the chance.

Kitana: Do you renounce the Lin Kuei?
Cyrax: Bi-Han's vision of it, yes.

Kitana: Have any more doubts about my skills?
Cyrax: Not at all, Princess.

Kitana: Show me how that armor works. Leave nothing out.
Cyrax: Do not blame me if you get hurt.

Kitana: Father, are you still in there?
Ermac: He is. But he does not control us.

Kitana: How can I trust anything birthed by Quan Chi?
Ermac: Because your ancestor's souls are within us.

Kitana: Why can't you let my parents' souls lead?
Ermac: There are those within us who are viciously opposed.

Kitana: Did Quan Chi make you immortal?
Ermac: No. Our magic will one day fail.

Kitana: Your family's disowned you.
General Shao: Wealth and comfort have made them timid.

Kitana: Outworld will close ranks against you.
General Shao: Support for your regime is thinner than you realize.

Kitana: Of all your enemies, it was vanity that felled you.
General Shao: I am not finished, Kitana.

Kitana: Who wishes to fight must first count the cost.
General Shao: You intend to teach me about war?

Kitana: My Titan and Liu Kang have a history, don't they?
Geras: Very observant, Princess.

Kitana: How much longer will my family's reign last?
Geras: It will last until it is over.

Kitana: Have I seen Liu Kang's true face? Or is there more?
Geras: It is not for me to say.

Kitana: The battle at the pyramid --
Geras: Will hopefully never be repeated.

Kitana: What is it you want?
Ghostface: To see what your insides look like.

Kitana: You are a nightmare.
Ghostface: No, that's the guy with the glove and fedora.

Kitana: Seido's capital was a beautiful place.
Havik: It was built on the back of slaves like me.

Kitana: Societies need rules, need order.
Havik: Only to protect the privileged, Princess.

Kitana: I have empathy for your plight, but --
Havik: You need not finish that sentence.

Kitana: After Seido, cooperation is impossible.
Havik: I seek confrontation, not cooperation.

Kitana: Your contempt for everyday beings is disgraceful.
Homelander: Why? They're nothing. Water balloons filled with blood and meat.

Kitana: You are the most insecure, most selfish --
Homelander: Sticks and stones, Kitana.

Kitana: It is the height of impertinence to call me 'eye candy'!
Johnny Cage: Easy, Kitty. It's just an expression.

Kitana: Your film crew is overrunning the palace!
Johnny Cage: That's how the sausage gets made, Princess.

Kitana: Some may swoon for you, but I will not.
Johnny Cage: Challenge accepted.

Kitana: You were right! Seeing a film is a transcendent experience.
Johnny Cage: Hollywood magic for the win.

Kitana: You couldn't handle an Outworld woman.
Johnny Cage: Shokan, Centaurians, Edenians. Yeah, I got this.

Kitana: Losing your sight, I can't imagine --
Kenshi: If I can't stand one thing, Princess, it's pity.

Kitana: There are Outworld souls inside Sento?
Kenshi: Taken from Ermac during our battle.

Kitana: These Yakuza you speak of sound dangerous.
Kenshi: I'm relieved to no longer be one of them.

Kitana: I misjudged you and your comrades.
Kenshi: Didn't help you had a snake hissing in your ear.

Kitana: I can feel the bond between us.
Kitana: We are sisters in arms across timelines.

Kitana: Shao is your father?!
Kitana: And the one, true Kahn of Outworld.

Kitana: My Mileena's not a clone. We are sisters.
Kitana: Someone has been feeding you lies.

Kitana: Your Outworld sounds like a hellish place.
Kitana: It might as well be part of the Netherrealm.

Kitana: Liu Kang isn't a god in your timeline?
Kitana: A god? He's my consort.

Kitana: You look like me, but can you fight like me?
Kitana: Don't be surprised when I prove better.

Kitana: I hope that Earthrealm won't be a fair-weather friend.
Kung Lao: There is no chance of that, Princess.

Kitana: I have been training for several of your lifetimes.
Kung Lao: Which means losing to me is going to sting.

Kitana: One should show royalty deference, Earthrealmer.
Kung Lao: As should one in the presence of greatness.

Kitana: Your friend is humble. Why are you not?
Kung Lao: You should ask why he is not more self-confident.

Kitana: Corruption's taken root in your ranks.
Li Mei: It's being weeded out, Princess.

Kitana: Resuming your old role is a waste of material.
Li Mei: Being First Constable is my first, best destiny.

Kitana: My entire life is supporting my sister.
Li Mei: All of Outworld is grateful for your service.

Kitana: Is it odd for kombat to make one nostalgic?
Li Mei: I fondly remember training you and your sister.

Kitana: Will the suffering of the realms ever cease?
Liu Kang: Those who live in them will decide.

Kitana: It's not fair that both my parents were murdered.
Liu Kang: You are right, Kitana. It is not.

Kitana: You and my Titan double seemed very familiar.
Liu Kang: *Why* shall remain shrouded in mystery.

Kitana: I hope my sister's reign will succeed.
Liu Kang: As do I. Long live the Queen.

Kitana: We've tracked Shang Tsung to an island.
Mileena: Capturing him will be a most dangerous game.

Kitana: Your subjects can't see this side of you.
Mileena: For the good of all, perhaps they must.

Kitana: Father's lost control of Ermac!
Mileena: Good thing I know what to do.

Kitana: I only want what's best for you.
Mileena: Or do you secretly covet my throne?

Kitana: Here to start another war between realms?
Nitara: Why would I tell you my plans?

Kitana: You conspired against my family!
Nitara: Better yours should suffer than mine.

Kitana: If you move against my sister, I'll --
Nitara: I already have, Princess.

Kitana: Millenia ago, our realms were allies.
Nitara: Until mine evolved beyond yours.

Kitana: This is how you repay my sister's mercy?!
Noob Saibot: It furthers the Lin Kuei's interests.

Kitana: Outworld's army will not --
Noob Saibot: Be able to defeat the Lin Kuei.

Kitana: I pity those who follow you.
Noob Saibot: Why? I have unlocked their full potential.

Kitana: The sycophants who must surround you --
Noob Saibot: Your royal court is no better, Princess.

Kitana: My sister will never abdicate her throne.
Omni-Man: I'll crush you, your sister, and that throne.

Kitana: What right have you to claim dominion?
Omni-Man: More right than you mewling children.

Kitana: For someone who loves peace, you fight excessively.
Peacemaker: Because peace is something you fight for.

Kitana: You make Cage seem like a mature adult.
Peacemaker: Glad I could be of service.

Kitana: Now I see why Liu Kang chose to neuter you.
Quan Chi: He did a poor job, didn't he?

Kitana: Perhaps we'll banish you to the Netherrealm.
Quan Chi: Do so and you'll make me stronger.

Kitana: Now that you're exposed, you're not a threat.
Quan Chi: Believe whatever makes you happy, Princess.

Kitana: I know how years ago you betrayed your fellow miners.
Quan Chi: Betrayed? I was not obliged to them.

Kitana: Your friend says that you're interested in me.
Raiden: Me?! I don't know what he's talking about.

Kitana: Think you'll win this rematch?
Raiden: I thought so. But you sound very confident.

Kitana: Will you defend my sister as ardently as you did my mother?
Raiden: What are friends for, Princess?

Kitana: I should've defeated you in the tournament.
Raiden: You came a lot closer than you think.

Kitana: My family won't ever forgive you.
Rain: No, I expect not.

Kitana: With your power, Rain, came resp --
Rain: Spare me the lecture, Princess.

Kitana: The Imperial Academy has stripped you of your titles.
Rain: Let it. I still have my skills.

Kitana: You're not safe in Outworld.
Rain: It's a risk I must take.

Kitana: Outworld and Earthrealm must stand together.
Reiko: Why can't you see they're our enemy?

Kitana: I once would've thanked you for your service.
Reiko: Should I be wounded by your disdain?

Kitana: Your rebellion's been put down like a lame Vaktor.
Reiko: It is not dead yet, Princess.

Kitana: I had hoped it wouldn't come to this.
Reiko: Scared, Princess?

Kitana: My sister told me of the conspiracy you uncovered.
Reptile: Zaterrans like me won't be safe until it's smashed

Kitana: The chaos you caused at the lantern festival --
Reptile: Luckily, no one was hurt.

Kitana: Being the Empress's emissary is a great responsibility.
Reptile: I am ready for it, Your Highness.

Kitana: Is it true you've taken up with a demon?
Reptile: I prefer not to dwell on her past.

Kitana: Do the Shirai Ryu have a code?
Scorpion: Death before dishonor.

Kitana: Weapons. Soldiers. Whatever you --
Scorpion: I have all that I need to defeat Bi-Han.

Kitana: I understand congratulations are in order.
Scorpion: How did news of my marriage reach Outworld?

Kitana: Training your new clan will take years.
Scorpion: It can't. I don't have that much time.

Kitana: I have to question your taste in men.
Sektor: Please, Princess. Share your thoughts.

Kitana: Liu Kang allowed you to replace Bi-Han?
Sektor: He hopes for reconciliation that will never come.

Kitana: The Lin Kuei's ambitions --
Sektor: Are born of centuries of frustration.

Kitana: You deceived my mother, you deceived us all!
Shang Tsung: It is what I do, Kitana.

Kitana: Nothing you can say will save your life.
Shang Tsung: Then let us dispense with the pleasantries, Princess.

Kitana: Titan Shang Tsung should have left you to rot.
Shang Tsung: Shall I infer we're no longer friends, Princess?

Kitana: Yours is a callous heart, sorcerer
Shang Tsung: If you truly knew it, you wouldn't think so.

Kitana: Discontent is brewing in the northern cantons.
Sindel: As it has for centuries. Pay it no mind.

Kitana: There isn't a day I don't miss Father.
Sindel: May you find yourself as good a partner.

Kitana: Mileena won't give up on Tanya, Mother.
Sindel: Why did she give her heart to an Umgadi?

Kitana: Are you sure we can trust Liu Kang?
Sindel: I am not sure we have a choice.

Kitana: You displayed valor against the sorcerers.
Smoke: Thank you, Your Highness.

Kitana: You are Kuai Liang's adopted brother?
Smoke: His father's honor demanded that he take me in.

Kitana: I'm curious to learn the Lin Kuei's secrets.
Smoke: Despite all that's happened, I won't reveal them.

Kitana: I need your help to train the Empress.
Smoke: What can your sister possibly learn from me?

Kitana: You'll never be welcome in Outworld.
Sub-Zero: Perhaps after a change in regime.

Kitana: Your clan used to serve a noble cause.
Sub-Zero: It is better now that we serve ourselves.

Kitana: You've broken Kuai Liang's heart.
Sub-Zero: It won't be the only part of him I damage.

Kitana: Why are Lin Kuei never Earthrealm champions?
Sub-Zero: So that Outworld doesn't lose every tournament.

Kitana: Your fighting style is familiar.
Takeda: Then you must have fought the Shirai Ryu.

Kitana: Tanya says you are a capable warrior.
Takeda: I held my own against her.

Kitana: These Yakuza you fight. They are thieves? Killers?
Takeda: And much, much more.

Kitana: My superior experience leaves you with inferior odds.
Takeda: I'll beat them and you.

Kitana: It's time to gather the First Born.
Tanya: And train the next generation of Umgadi.

Kitana: What you've learned of the Matrons' corruption --
Tanya: Is just the beginning, I fear.

Kitana: If you are toying with my sister's emotions --
Tanya: Rest assured, Princess. I am not.

Kitana: My skills must be honed if I'm to lead the army.
Tanya: Allow me to help forge them, Princess.

Kung Lao: Being prideful doesn't make me evil.
Ashrah: But it does make you insufferable.

Kung Lao: Shaolin Demon' has a nice ring to it.
Ashrah: Master Kai agreed to teach me?

Kung Lao: Your kriss is no match for my hat.
Ashrah: We'll soon find out, won't we?

Kung Lao: I have never met anyone like you.
Ashrah: Are you flirting with me, Kung Lao?

Kung Lao: What was it like, being tribune in Sindel's army?
Baraka: I've had no harder job, no greater honor.

Kung Lao: Up this close, should I have a mask?
Baraka: It's too late for that question.

Kung Lao: You know fighting me is an honor.
Baraka: I can't wait to puncture your inflated ego.

Kung Lao: I never want to be inside a cell again.
Baraka: Tarkat is an even worse prison.

Kung Lao: Even with that armor, you are losing this fight.
Cyrax: Your ego will break before it does.

Kung Lao: I get the sense you don't like to lose.
Cyrax: What warrior does, Kung Lao?

Kung Lao: To see another timeline would be amazing.
Cyrax: It isn't when you are fighting for your life.

Kung Lao: You might be many, but I am 'The One'.
Ermac: You are not even Earthrealm's champion.

Kung Lao: Having telekinesis does not make you invincible.
Ermac: But it guarantees victory against you.

Kung Lao: I want to fight your single strongest soul.
Ermac: We fight as one, or not at all.

Kung Lao: The Shaolin masters doubt that I can beat you.
Ermac: They are wise.

Kung Lao: Some general you turned out to be.
General Shao: Best not to question my leadership, Kung Lao.

Kung Lao: We both have storied families.
General Shao: Yours will be wiped out today

Kung Lao: If Raiden can beat you, so can I.
General Shao: Lose to a fool in a silly hat?

Kung Lao: You aren't the answer to Outworld's prayers.
General Shao: I am its only salvation.

Kung Lao: I should have been told sooner that realms exist.
Geras: Liu Kang knew you weren't ready.

Kung Lao: One day, my star will outshine Johnny's.
Geras: Seek purpose, not fame, Kung Lao.

Kung Lao: Lord Liu Kang won't say much about past timelines.
Geras: He would prefer the past not be prologue.

Kung Lao: Just how old are you, Geras?
Geras: Old enough that time has ceased to have meaning.

Kung Lao: That costume is silly, not scary.
Ghostface: It's about to be drenched in your blood.

Kung Lao: You went after Madam Bo.
Ghostface: And thanks to you, the old bitch got away.

Kung Lao: You are not the only one who has worked dirty jobs.
Havik: My kind were doomed to a lifetime of them.

Kung Lao: If your kind is on the bottom, pull yourselves up.
Havik: How can we? The ropes have been cut!

Kung Lao: What if Liu Kang sent peacekeepers to Seido?
Havik: Occupation is also oppression, Earthrealmer.

Kung Lao: You act like some kind of messiah.
Havik: Because I am my kind's savior!

Kung Lao: You should've brought your whole super team.
Homelander: You should've brought your own coffin.

Kung Lao: You are dead wrong to think I will quit.
Homelander: Oh. Well it's your funeral, pal.

Kung Lao: One day, I will be more famous than you.
Johnny Cage: You been sipping Madam Bo's special tea?

Kung Lao: Is there truly a price to fame?
Johnny Cage: Nothing comes for free, my friend.

Kung Lao: So what's the name of your film about us?
Johnny Cage: Mortal. Kombat.

Kung Lao: What does it take to be a movie star?
Johnny Cage: It's easy. Be me.

Kung Lao: This fight will prove that I am best.
Johnny Cage: At getting your ass kicked.

Kung Lao: While a Yakuza, did you kill anyone?
Kenshi: Pick a different topic, Kung Lao.

Kung Lao: Tell me more about this Suchin.
Kenshi: She is one of a kind, Kung Lao.

Kung Lao: I hope we get sent on another secret mission.
Kenshi: Maybe you should join the OIA.

Kung Lao: My cousin, Kung Jin, is fascinated by the Yakuza.
Kenshi: Do whatever it takes to quash that interest.

Kung Lao: To command an entire army --
Kitana: Is a serious responsibility.

Kung Lao: I think Raiden has a crush on you.
Kitana: While sweet, it is unwelcome.

Kung Lao: If Shao deposes your sister, what would happen?
Kitana: Bloodshed on a scale not seen in millennia.

Kung Lao: If Raiden impressed you, you should see me fight.
Kitana: So that I'll respect him even more?

Kung Lao: One of me is more than enough.
Kung Lao: Madam Bo sure seems to think so.

Kung Lao: Are *you* the Great Kung Lao?
Kung Lao: Are you kidding? I am the greatest.

Kung Lao: I thought it fitting that you die by your own hand.
Kung Lao: I am not flattered by your imitation, Shang Tsung.

Kung Lao: You are the fourth me I have met this week.
Kung Lao: I will also be the last.

Kung Lao: Admit it. You have never had a greater hallucination.
Kung Lao: Raiden wasn't kidding about Madam Bo's special tea.

Kung Lao: Amazing! You look just like me, Johnny!
Kung Lao: Gotta love those Hollywood makeup wizards.

Kung Lao: I would have won the tournament, too.
Li Mei: We'll see if you're as good as Raiden.

Kung Lao: Want help patrolling Sun Do's streets?
Li Mei: It’s arrogant presumption to think you could.

Kung Lao: Sun Do is a beautiful city.
Li Mei: Its façade hides an unseemly underworld.

Kung Lao: Can Mileena succeed as Outworld's empress?
Li Mei: That judgement has yet to be made.

Kung Lao: You trained my ancient ancestor?
Liu Kang: The Great Kung Lao was my grandest champion.

Kung Lao: How much longer will Raiden be champion.
Liu Kang: Until someone more worthy takes his place.

Kung Lao: Why are the Great Kung Lao's victories hidden?
Liu Kang: The world is not yet ready to know them.

Kung Lao: Can I play a part, when Raiden's sister is tested?
Liu Kang: The exam scenario is up to Madam Bo.

Kung Lao: Quan Chi and Shang Tsung are still out there.
Liu Kang: We must prepare for when we find them, Kung Lao.

Kung Lao: I could get used to living like you do.
Mileena: What makes you deserving of royal privileges?

Kung Lao: Had I been champion, the tournament --
Mileena: Since you weren't, your point is moot.

Kung Lao: Is it safe for the two of us to fight?
Mileena: For me it is.

Kung Lao: When Tarkat takes hold, you are intimidating.
Mileena: Do you imply that otherwise I am not?

Kung Lao: Madam Bo taught me how to beat you.
Nitara: Her lessons will fail you.

Kung Lao: If your realm is so hungry, why did it only send you?
Nitara: Few of us can survive outside its borders.

Kung Lao: Have Vaeternians always had wings?
Nitara: Do Earthrealmers always ask such stupid questions?

Kung Lao: What did you do with Jen's body?!
Nitara: Poor Kung Lao, you'll never see her again.

Kung Lao: I am an even greater warrior now than when we first met.
Noob Saibot: And still, lesser than even the greenest Lin Kuei.

Kung Lao: From what I have learned of Lin Kuei history --
Noob Saibot: The monks teach you lies, Kung Lao.

Kung Lao: Have you come here to be humbled… again?
Noob Saibot: To shut your mouth for the final time.

Kung Lao: Seeking a worthy challenge? Here I am.
Omni-Man: Okay, Kung Lao. Prove your worth.

Kung Lao: Madam Bo says everyone has a weakness.
Omni-Man: Then she's never met a Viltrumite.

Kung Lao: People like that I am brash and bold.
Peacemaker: My abs have more swagger than you do.

Kung Lao: The Peacemaker? What a joke.
Peacemaker: It won't be once I shove that hat up your ass.

Kung Lao: We beat you once, we will beat you again.
Quan Chi: Kung Lao. So certain in your confidence.

Kung Lao: You think you scare me, sorcerer?
Quan Chi: I would never mistake you for someone so wise.

Kung Lao: After this fight, you will remember my name.
Quan Chi: Only long enough to carve on your tombstone.

Kung Lao: The Shaolin do not run from danger.
Quan Chi: Do you flee from certain death?

Kung Lao: It's not too late to be in Johnny's movie.
Raiden: We have other priorities, Kung Lao.

Kung Lao: I still think I should have been champion.
Raiden: Then you shouldn't have lost our fight.

Kung Lao: Teaching the initiates is hard work.
Raiden: It makes me truly appreciate Madam Bo.

Kung Lao: Now isn't this better than working in the fields?
Raiden: This life does have its advantages.

Kung Lao: Haven't we trained enough?
Raiden: Vigilance requires diligence.

Kung Lao: Did you know about Ashrah and Syzoth?
Raiden: I'm happy for them both, Kung Lao.

Kung Lao: What does a mage know about kombat?
Rain: More than enough to keep you at bay.

Kung Lao: Your replacement has been selected
Rain: Dorfen isn't ready to be Outworld's High Mage.

Kung Lao: Is there anything with water you cannot do?
Rain: You want me to reveal my limits?

Kung Lao: This fight is dedicated to the Great Kung Lao.
Rain: Shouldn't you wait to see if you win?

Kung Lao: What will it take for you to surrender?
Reiko: That will never happen!

Kung Lao: Liu Kang is not your enemy.
Reiko: His boot is on the neck of Outworld!

Kung Lao: I could never betray Liu Kang as you have Sindel.
Reiko: Every bond has its breaking point, Earthrealmer.

Kung Lao: I, too, once thought war was glorious.
Reiko: What dullard convinced you otherwise?

Kung Lao: Join us at Madam Bo's. Her cooking is --
Reptile: No, thank you. I can't stomach human food.

Kung Lao: It is clear you are in awe of my hat.
Reptile: Is it, Kung Lao?

Kung Lao: Wait until you fight Scorpion. He is a beast.
Reptile: What kind of beast?

Kung Lao: Please, Syzoth? Raiden's sister will jump out of her skin.
Reptile: My shapeshifting's not for practical jokes.

Kung Lao: I bet I could be Shirai Ryu.
Scorpion: First, you must learn humility.

Kung Lao: There is nothing you can do that I can't do better.
Scorpion: It won't take long to prove that claim false.

Kung Lao: Master Kai said he taught you as well.
Scorpion: You would be smart to heed his instruction.

Kung Lao: Bi-Han won't go down without a fight.
Scorpion: I fear there will be losses on both sides.

Kung Lao: How is Madam Bo your mother?!
Sektor: Has no one explained to you how that works?

Kung Lao: This will be a curious test for my chakram hat.
Sektor: One it is sure to fail.

Kung Lao: Madam Bo tries hiding it, but she cries when she thinks of you.
Sektor: I am unmoved by her tears.

Kung Lao: We will find your island, Shang Tsung.
Shang Tsung: I sincerely hope you do.

Kung Lao: What were you going to do with all those hybrids?
Shang Tsung: You'll find out soon enough.

Kung Lao: As a child, was your mind this diseased?
Shang Tsung: I object to your description, Kung Lao.

Kung Lao: I will not forget that you tried to kill me.
Shang Tsung: Or I that Baraka kept me from succeeding.

Kung Lao: Johnny is all bruised, and he will not say why.
Sindel: Ask him about the proposition he made me.

Kung Lao: It is entirely possible that I have royal blood.
Sindel: Based on what, Earthrealmer?

Kung Lao: Next time, Earthrealm will host the tournament.
Sindel: The next time, you will be an old man.

Kung Lao: It is not fair that your kind lives for thousands of years.
Sindel: Why conclude that it isn't a hardship?

Kung Lao: They will call us the greatest generation.
Smoke: Shouldn't we earn that title first?

Kung Lao: I hear that Kuai Liang is now married.
Smoke: Harumi is just as fierce as he is.

Kung Lao: You were not the most convincing thug.
Smoke: Don't lie, Kung Lao. You were spooked.

Kung Lao: Shall we make this interesting? Name the stakes.
Smoke: That's easy. I want the hat.

Kung Lao: I have to thank you for inspiring my hat.
Sub-Zero: It is a worthless gimmick, Kung Lao.

Kung Lao: This time, don't pull any punches.
Sub-Zero: A request you will soon regret.

Kung Lao: You have made enemies of the Shaolin.
Sub-Zero: They are the least of my concerns.

Kung Lao: If you reformed, Liu Kang would forgive.
Sub-Zero: You presume I've done anything wrong.

Kung Lao: Quit now, before I embarrass you.
Takeda: You are as cocky as Kenshi says.

Kung Lao: Do me a favor. When you fight Kitana, beat her.
Takeda: Losing stings, doesn't it.

Kung Lao: You were right to decline Liu Kang's invitation.
Takeda: Afraid I'd be a better champion than you?

Kung Lao: Your cousin says you can fight.
Takeda: That is an understatement.

Kung Lao: Shaolin versus Umgadi? This is no contest.
Tanya: Then you intend to concede?

Kung Lao: The monks train harder than you or your sisters.
Tanya: How exactly would you know, Kung Lao?

Kung Lao: I suppose you met the Great Kung Lao, too.
Tanya: No, he was before my time.

Kung Lao: Lord Liu Kang says we must learn to fight together.
Tanya: On this subject, he is wise.

Li Mei: You're living proof people can change.
Ashrah: I hope you dispense justice with that in mind.

Li Mei: There must be few demons like you.
Ashrah: I am unique among them, Li Mei.

Li Mei: Is your absolution close at hand?
Ashrah: It always seems just out of reach.

Li Mei: Are the myths of the Netherrealm real?
Ashrah: The truth is even worse than you imagine.

Li Mei: The law requires the infected be segregated.
Baraka: Does it require we be treated like monsters?

Li Mei: We need your testimony against Shang Tsung.
Baraka: Only if I can present it in person.

Li Mei: You weren't part of Syzoth's Shiva Ranatai escape.
Baraka: I would've been a fool to step foot in Sun Do.

Li Mei: Does your colony need constables?
Baraka: We need a cure.

Li Mei: Why won't Liu Kang disband the Lin Kuei?
Cyrax: He remains hopeful they can reform.

Li Mei: Your former clan must still face justice.
Cyrax: Do not punish all for the acts of a few.

Li Mei: The Shirai Ryu have no business in Sun Do.
Cyrax: We come at the Empress's invitation.

Li Mei: If Titan Havik hadn't arrived, your comrades --
Cyrax: *Former* comrades, Li Mei.

Li Mei: You're not above the law.
Ermac: Our souls are beyond your jurisdiction.

Li Mei: I failed the Emperor once I won't again.
Ermac: You can do nothing to help him, Li Mei.

Li Mei: How do your souls maintain order?
Ermac: By force of our collective will.

Li Mei: I wish the Empress and Emperor could hear me.
Ermac: They can, but they cannot respond.

Li Mei: It's no surprise Lei Chin couldn't hold you.
General Shao: There isn't a prison that can.

Li Mei: There's no crime worse than sedition.
General Shao: Is it better to prop up a failing empress?

Li Mei: I knew you were hiding things.
General Shao: And you were too simple to figure out what.

Li Mei: The law puts Sindel's death at your feet.
General Shao: One more alleged crime I won't be punished for.

Li Mei: Why permit crime to fester in this timeline?
Geras: It was beyond Liu Kang's power to prevent it.

Li Mei: Gods that deceive are capable of much worse.
Geras: I assure you, Liu Kang's intentions are pure.

Li Mei: What prevents you from corrupting the timeline?
Geras: My faith in Liu Kang's vision for it.

Li Mei: Why did Jerrod have to die on my watch?
Geras: Do not presume that it was Liu Kang's design.

Li Mei: I *will* figure out who you are.
Ghostface: That's the least interesting thing about me.

Li Mei: You will pay for every life you've taken.
Ghostface: I haven't yet. Why start now?

Li Mei: Sun Do doesn't want your anarchy.
Havik: That's not the word on the street.

Li Mei: I punish disturbing the peace severely.
Havik: Your 'peace' is nothing but oppression.

Li Mei: Tell Rain to turn himself in.
Havik: Why would I compromise his freedom?

Li Mei: Your crimes can be tried in our courts.
Havik: Since when is Seido in Outworld's jurisdiction?

Li Mei: You're not a hero, you're a fraud.
Homelander: Flap, flap, flap goes that little mouth of yours.

Li Mei: You should be fighting for truth and justice --
Homelander: I am the true justice.

Li Mei: How do you know so much about policing?
Johnny Cage: My mom was a cop. You did *not* fuck with her.

Li Mei: Who's on second, Cage?
Johnny Cage: No, Who's on first. What's on second!

Li Mei: If you film in Sun Do, you're on your own.
Johnny Cage: Really? Great. Now who's gonna handle crowd control??

Li Mei: To spend your life creating fantasies --
Johnny Cage: Create? Honey. I am the fantasy!

Li Mei: If not for Syzoth, I would have captured you at the festival.
Johnny Cage: Are you kidding? Those disguises I found were money.

Li Mei: You're a reformed criminal? We'll see.
Kenshi: It's not enough that Liu Kang trusts me?

Li Mei: You? Work for me undercover?
Kenshi: How else will you infiltrate the Black Dragon?

Li Mei: You've done well, despite your infirmity.
Kenshi: I owe it all to my Taira ancestors.

Li Mei: If your agency thinks it can skulk about Sun Do --
Kenshi: You'll know our every move, Li Mei.

Li Mei: Word on the street is Mavado is in Sun Do.
Kitana: Do not attempt to capture him alone, Li Mei.

Li Mei: Shang Tsung's laboratory has been destroyed.
Kitana: May we never see its like again.

Li Mei: Why are your cousins never at court?
Kitana: They were banished by my mother's decree.

Li Mei: I'm not surprised you've been made Supreme Commander.
Kitana: How is it I'm the only one who is?

Li Mei: You were exposed to Tarkat?!
Kung Lao: I'm fine. I have had no symptoms.

Li Mei: That hat is something else.
Kung Lao: You have a problem with it, Constable?

Li Mei: I also met the Great Kung Lao.
Kung Lao: Is there anyone in Outworld that hasn't?!

Li Mei: Tell Raiden he'll get nowhere with Kitana.
Kung Lao: How did you know about that?!

Li Mei: Were you also once Umgadi?
Li Mei: Umgadi? What's that?

Li Mei: Your Sun Do isn't a metropolis?
Li Mei: It’s a tiny village in a remote province.

Li Mei: What are you? A shape shifter?
Li Mei: I prefer 'Master of Illusion'.

Li Mei: You won't replace me, I swear it!
Li Mei: Everything you have will be mine.

Li Mei: I can't believe there are two of us.
Li Mei: We'll be back down to one shortly.

Li Mei: Brokade is behind this, isn't she?
Li Mei: Of course it was the Queen of the Underworld!

Li Mei: If you know those who become criminals, tell me.
Liu Kang: Even I cannot foretell the future flawlessly, Li Mei.

Li Mei: Thank you for helping foil Shao's rebellion.
Liu Kang: Duty required that I stop him.

Li Mei: Do Earthrealmers also deal with crime?
Liu Kang: They are not immune to its scourge, Li Mei.

Li Mei: I regret having never known my parents.
Liu Kang: Who says you will not in the future?

Li Mei: The Umgadi's Matrons have been arrested.
Liu Kang: May they be punished for their crimes against you.

Li Mei: I fear the toll Tarkat is taking on you.
Mileena: Both of us do, Li Mei.

Li Mei: Have you decided on the Matrons' punishment?
Mileena: There is only one for deceiving my family.

Li Mei: If your mother was harsh, it was because she loved you.
Mileena: It was because she doubted me.

Li Mei: The Princess is well suited to be Supreme Commander.
Mileena: As were you to lead the Imperial Police.

Li Mei: Vaeternians aren't welcome in Outworld.
Nitara: Don't think that will stop us from coming.

Li Mei: Your Elders were shortsighted, Nitara.
Nitara: That doesn't mean we don't deserve to survive.

Li Mei: There are more like you in Sun Do?
Nitara: You won't find us until it's too late.

Li Mei: I've issued a warrant for your arrest.
Nitara: It's not worth the paper it's printed on.

Li Mei: The Empress has issued a warrant for your arrest.
Noob Saibot: Then she should find me and serve it.

Li Mei: Siding against the Empress --
Noob Saibot: Violates your code. Not mine.

Li Mei: You have earned severe punishment.
Noob Saibot: Catch me if you can, constable.

Li Mei: Sun Do won't recognize your authority.
Omni-Man: They will after I make an example of you.

Li Mei: What does a would-be despot know of justice?
Omni-Man: Enough to teach you a master class.

Li Mei: Vigilantes only breed lawlessness.
Peacemaker: You cops would be lost without us.

Li Mei: Kill anyone in Sun Do and you'll be tried and convicted.
Peacemaker: I'm only trying to help you.

Li Mei: There will be no escape from Lei Chin this time.
Quan Chi: That hellhole won't again imprison me.

Li Mei: You have broken so many laws --
Quan Chi: And I will go on doing so, Li Mei.

Li Mei: I've learned the truth of your past, sorcerer.
Quan Chi: What good will that do you, exactly?

Li Mei: Surrender, Quan Chi. There's no way out.
Quan Chi: Without a fight? Impossible.

Li Mei: Your resolve in kombat impressed.
Raiden: That's high praise, coming from a former Umgadi.

Li Mei: The stakes are to your satisfaction?
Raiden: They're enough for me to accept your wager.

Li Mei: What does Liu Kang see in Johnny Cage?
Raiden: He's more than meets the eye, Li Mei.

Li Mei: Your name is still on Sun Do's lips.
Raiden: I can't believe I made such an impression.

Li Mei: I'm taking you in to face justice.
Rain: Your meager skills are no match for my command of water.

Li Mei: Seido now blames Outworld for your crimes against them.
Rain: That was never my intent, Li Mei.

Li Mei: If you *ever* try to flood Sun Do --
Rain: By Argus, that will never happen.

Li Mei: Did Shao have more co-conspirators?
Rain: There are many you've yet to unmask.

Li Mei: The Empress has named you an enemy of the state.
Reiko: A mantel I wear with pride.

Li Mei: You're wanted, dead or alive.
Reiko: I'll never be captured, Li Mei.

Li Mei: Renounce Shao and reduce your sentence.
Reiko: What makes you think I'd so easily betray him?

Li Mei: You won't leave here except in custody.
Reiko: Good luck enforcing that edict.

Li Mei: My constables can aid your search.
Reptile: Only a Zaterran can investigate Zaterrans.

Li Mei: You're fortunate the Empress pardoned you.
Reptile: I swear I won't ever disrupt the Festival again.

Li Mei: I'll never grasp the Zaterran concept of justice.
Reptile: Most warm bloods can't.

Li Mei: Your new position has made you enemies.
Reptile: How many? And how dangerous?

Li Mei: Your brother is wanted for aiding Shao’s rebellion.
Scorpion: Yet he will face my justice, not yours.

Li Mei: Liu Kang has nothing but praise for you.
Scorpion: Let me demonstrate why that's so.

Li Mei: Do you think of Outworld as a threat?
Scorpion: Only certain people in it, First Constable.

Li Mei: We're both charged with the safety of others.
Scorpion: May this fight prove us worthy of that trust.

Li Mei: In another life, we might have been friends.
Sektor: That is pointless speculation, Li Mei.

Li Mei: You may be more dangerous than Bi-Han.
Sektor: Ha! May be?

Li Mei: I won't let you escape.
Sektor: Like you can do anything to stop me.

Li Mei: Your misconduct is well documented, sorcerer.
Shang Tsung: But to convict me, you'll have to catch me.

Li Mei: Surrender and you'll receive a fair trial.
Shang Tsung: Which will no doubt end with my execution.

Li Mei: You can't stay a fugitive forever.
Shang Tsung: You've no idea what I'm capable of.

Li Mei: I could tell from the start you were trouble.
Shang Tsung: And as with Jerrod's killer, you did nothing.

Li Mei: Beware, Empress. There are still threats on all sides.
Sindel: Which makes me wish all the more you were still Umgadi.

Li Mei: The General got far too close to taking your power.
Sindel: Never shall he again.

Li Mei: Opportunists are exploiting the recent unrest.
Sindel: Find them and prosecute them.

Li Mei: I've rounded up more of the General's sympathizers.
Sindel: Bring them to me for punishment.

Li Mei: I should warn you, I was once Umgadi.
Smoke: I should warn you that I'm Shirai Ryu.

Li Mei: As I told your brother, I'll abide no vigilantes.
Smoke: You misread our intent, Li Mei.

Li Mei: I understand you helped battle the sorcerers.
Smoke: I'm fortunate to have survived.

Li Mei: I remind you of your mother?
Smoke: No-nonsense and tough as nails, just like her.

Li Mei: I'll find your operatives in Sun Do.
Sub-Zero: They'll escape by hiding in the shadows.

Li Mei: Conspiring against the Empress is a serious crime.
Sub-Zero: What's the penalty for killing a First Constable?

Li Mei: Turn yourself in, Bi-Han.
Sub-Zero: Hell will freeze before that happens.

Li Mei: Lei Chin Prison was supposed to be impregnable.
Sub-Zero: Yet somehow I still freed the General.

Li Mei: Sun Do's underworld is not your concern.
Takeda: It feeds Earthrealm corruption, Li Mei!

Li Mei: The Takahashis are a crime family?
Takeda: Part of one. Hopefully not for much longer.

Li Mei: Want my trust? Prove worthy of it.
Takeda: Why do you think I'm here?

Li Mei: You and Kenshi are --
Takeda: Cousins -- Distant cousins.

Li Mei: The new Empress is disbanding your order?!
Tanya: Not disbanding, Li Mei. Reforming.

Li Mei: If there's one thing I don't miss, it's palace intrigue.
Tanya: It's the worst part of being Umgadi, isn't it?

Li Mei: Vakara and Dionis were purged as well?!
Tanya: Not one of the old Matrons was spared.

Li Mei: I don't envy your task, rebuilding the Umgadi.
Tanya: I don't either. But it must be done.

Liu Kang: The battle between good and evil is eternal.
Ashrah: Why must it be fought inside me?

Liu Kang: You have adjusted well to life in Earthrealm.
Ashrah: Nothing could suit me better.

Liu Kang: Master Kai speaks highly of your skills.
Ashrah: He honors me with his praise.

Liu Kang: A new threat emerges from the Netherrealm.
Ashrah: I will not rest until it is defeated.

Liu Kang: When you find Quan Chi, capture. Do not kill.
Ashrah: I cannot promise that, Liu Kang.

Liu Kang: Your people's plight has improved?
Baraka: No thanks to you, Liu Kang.

Liu Kang: Know, Baraka, that the heavens await you.
Baraka: Until then must I suffer?

Liu Kang: Father, tribune, merchant. Yours is a life well lived.
Baraka: It was, until Tarkat took it from me.

Liu Kang: The new Empress needs your support.
Baraka: She knows my price to get it.

Liu Kang: Time will heal the breach with your family.
Cyrax: I am not sure I want it to.

Liu Kang: Leaving the Lin Kuei was the correct choice.
Cyrax: That has not made it any easier, Liu Kang.

Liu Kang: It is critical you join Smoke in training young Hanzo.
Cyrax: Why? Who is he to become?

Liu Kang: Kuai Liang surrounds himself with formidable women.
Cyrax: As a wise man should, Liu Kang.

Liu Kang: Quan Chi's magic taints the souls within you.
Ermac: Can you end this debasement?

Liu Kang: You are free of Quan Chi and may choose your own path.
Ermac: The battle to decide it rages within us.

Liu Kang: Your power, if misused, could prove most dangerous.
Ermac: We are aware, Liu Kang.

Liu Kang: I hope one day to see Sindel and Jerrod restored.
Ermac: Do our other souls mean nothing to you?

Liu Kang: Where are your armies, General?
General Shao: This isn't war, Liu Kang. It's personal.

Liu Kang: Those with power must know how to use it wisely.
General Shao: That's why Sindel is unfit for the throne.

Liu Kang: You have no army to command, General.
General Shao: Those loyal to me still follow.

Liu Kang: I will not let you unleash civil war.
General Shao: Outworld's affairs aren't your business, Liu Kang.

Liu Kang: Yet another timeline threatens us?
Geras: This one created by a Titan Onaga.

Liu Kang: This timeline has not improved as I had hoped.
Geras: Thoughts like that led to Kronika’s madness.

Liu Kang: Your decision to serve gladdens me.
Geras: It was an honor to be asked.

Liu Kang: May we never again encounter other timelines.
Geras: It is unlikely we have seen the last of them.

Liu Kang: I mean for you to replace me.
Geras: I can only succeed you, Lord Liu Kang.

Liu Kang: Are you my Geras or Shang Tsung's?
Geras: You will know when this battle ends.

Liu Kang: Have there been others like you?
Ghostface: At least six, by my count.

Liu Kang: Your violence serves no purpose.
Ghostface: If you could see my smile, you'd know that's bullshit.

Liu Kang: I force no one! Mortals choose to follow me.
Havik: Making you their master, which makes them slaves.

Liu Kang: It is not your ends I object to, it is the means.
Havik: Revolution isn't pretty, Liu Kang.

Liu Kang: Achieving liberation requires patience.
Havik: Tell that to those who suffer, demi-god!

Liu Kang: What's left of Seido's government will negotiate.
Havik: Negotiate?! I'm dictating terms.

Liu Kang: If you were not so evil, I would pity you.
Homelander: Pity this!

Liu Kang: You have chosen war with a god.
Homelander: No. You have.

Liu Kang: Giving Kenshi Sento was most honorable.
Johnny Cage: After what he did, he deserved it.

Liu Kang: I will now demonstrate why you sanded those floors.
Johnny Cage: Holy shit! I've been Miyagi'ed.

Liu Kang: It saddened me to see your marriage end.
Johnny Cage: Me too, Liu Kang.

Liu Kang: I don't need a 'credit' on your film, Johnny Cage.
Johnny Cage: You EP'ed the shit out of this timeline. Oh, you're getting one!

Liu Kang: There is more to life than fortune and glory.
Johnny Cage: Oh wait! You're serious.

Liu Kang: When you move, fall like a thunderbolt.
Kenshi: Isn't that advice for Raiden?

Liu Kang: You can learn much from Jackson Briggs.
Kenshi: I've learned a lot from him already.

Liu Kang: Sento is even more powerful than you know.
Kenshi: What else can it do, Liu Kang?

Liu Kang: Your war on the underworld is taking innocent lives.
Kenshi: Am I to blame for my enemy's wanton violence?

Liu Kang: Outworld's army does well under your command.
Kitana: You should hope that our realms remain at peace.

Liu Kang: I can only offer condolences, Kitana.
Kitana: That's all? My mother died to save the realms!

Liu Kang: It worries me that Mileena builds a koliseum.
Kitana: Why? Do Earthrealmers not have sports?

Liu Kang: Keep Countess Jade close. She is critical to your future.
Kitana: Is it possible you could be more cryptic?

Liu Kang: Why did you not heed Raiden's warning?
Kung Lao: I thought I could train Shujinko alone.

Liu Kang: Are you aware that Raiden trains with Scorpion?
Kung Lao: To what end, Lord Liu Kang?

Liu Kang: The Great Kung Lao would take pride in you.
Kung Lao: That is the greatest compliment I could receive.

Liu Kang: So the masters have made you one of them.
Kung Lao: They know I have much to teach.

Liu Kang: Had you trained harder, *you* would be champion.
Kung Lao: I am well aware, Lord Liu Kang.

Liu Kang: I hear the Umgadi want you back.
Li Mei: I prefer to remain First Constable.

Liu Kang: Why did you choose to trust me?
Li Mei: Because you had no reason to lie.

Liu Kang: The Black Dragon has infiltrated Sun Do.
Li Mei: It will gain no traction here, Liu Kang.

Liu Kang: You have my condolences on the loss of Sindel.
Li Mei: She died as she lived, in Outworld's service.

Liu Kang: You must administer justice fairly, Li Mei.
Li Mei: Has anyone dared suggest I've done otherwise?

Liu Kang: It is beyond my power to prevent all injustice.
Li Mei: Then it shall always fester.

Liu Kang: What is your role in your timeline?
Liu Kang: I'm a global martial arts star, aren't you?

Liu Kang: What happened to your Kitana?
Liu Kang: An evil clown tricked me into taking her life.

Liu Kang: Are you here to help or harm?
Liu Kang: Who says I can't do both?

Liu Kang: I grow weary of other timelines.
Liu Kang: Then keep the barriers among them closed.

Liu Kang: Accosted by yet another me.
Liu Kang: How many of us have you met?

Liu Kang: Does Onaga exist in your timeline?
Liu Kang: Exist in it? He rules it.

Liu Kang: Earthrealm will support Outworld in any way it can.
Mileena: Do not seek to become overly entwined in our affairs.

Liu Kang: I treasured the fellowship of both your parents.
Mileena: Then why didn't you do more to save them?

Liu Kang: If Reiko frees Onaga from Mount Tsaagan --
Mileena: I am aware, Liu Kang. I know the legends.

Liu Kang: May my champions search Outworld for Shang Tsung?
Mileena: Only if Li Mei supervises them.

Liu Kang: To gain immortality, Vaeternus has debased itself!
Nitara: Your disapproval means nothing, Liu Kang.

Liu Kang: Vaeternus's ways are unsustainable!
Nitara: Only if we can't find more on whom to feed.

Liu Kang: The Coven has lead Vaeternus astray.
Nitara: They're the only ones defending our interests!

Liu Kang: You must embrace hope and faith, Nitara.
Nitara: Neither means anything to me.

Liu Kang: Sektor should have trusted me to heal you.
Noob Saibot: You should not have made her wait.

Liu Kang: Continue, Bi-Han, and it will not end well for you.
Noob Saibot: I have beaten one god. I can beat another.

Liu Kang: The Chaos within is destroying your soul.
Noob Saibot: Is that what you would have me believe?

Liu Kang: Your future darkens by the day, Bi-Han.
Noob Saibot: Clearly you are not omniscient.

Liu Kang: You have destroyed worlds, I have erased whole timelines.
Omni-Man: Finally, a worthy challenge.

Liu Kang: By the Elder Gods, what are you?
Omni-Man: I'm something of a god myself.

Liu Kang: This is no time to smile.
Peacemaker: Hell yeah it is! 'Fight a fire god' is coming off my bucket list.

Liu Kang: Do you have any powers?
Peacemaker: Just an extremely high tolerance for pain.

Liu Kang: I should have done more to keep you from evil.
Quan Chi: I, for one, am glad you didn't.

Liu Kang: The knowledge you've gained I must now take away.
Quan Chi: You won't punish me as you did Shujinko.

Liu Kang: You and Shang Tsung must not conspire again.
Quan Chi: Why in the realms would I promise that?

Liu Kang: How did you acquire Shinnok's Amulet?
Quan Chi: Wouldn't you like to know?

Liu Kang: You must continue to learn.
Raiden: I would welcome your instruction.

Liu Kang: Kung Lao's ego is irritating the other monks.
Raiden: I will speak to him, Lord Liu Kang.

Liu Kang: Pass this test and join the Shaolin's inner circle.
Raiden: I *will* prove worthy of the White Lotus.

Liu Kang: Madam Bo thinks your sister is ready.
Raiden: I agree. She'll make an excellent Shaolin.

Liu Kang: Pride has been your downfall in all timelines.
Rain: Then why not change me in this one?

Liu Kang: A half a million Seidans, dead!
Rain: And if I could bring them back, I would.

Liu Kang: Why was being High Mage not enough?
Rain: You tell me. You gave me this ambition.

Liu Kang: Outworld has no place for you now.
Rain: Nor does Earthrealm, I presume.

Liu Kang: You have committed war crimes, Reiko.
Reiko: It's no crime to protect one's homeland.

Liu Kang: Shao is wrong about my intentions.
Reiko: Why would I believe a word you say?

Liu Kang: Our realms must co-exist peacefully.
Reiko: As long as yours dominates mine, they can't.

Liu Kang: It is suicide to try to tame Onaga.
Reiko: That won't stop me from obeying the General's command.

Liu Kang: You have made excellent progress, Syzoth.
Reptile: You're surprised by how far I've come?

Liu Kang: Be careful, Syzoth. Ashrah is still a demon.
Reptile: Don't we all have a demonic side?

Liu Kang: It was not my intent to see your family murdered.
Reptile: How could a god's plan be so easily foiled?

Liu Kang: You are always welcome in Earthrealm, Syzoth.
Reptile: I wish the same were true in Zaterra.

Liu Kang: I had such high hopes for your brother.
Scorpion: As did I, Lord Liu Kang.

Liu Kang: You allow vengeance to consume you.
Scorpion: I should not punish Bi-Han for his crimes?

Liu Kang: Are the Shirai Ryu ready to defend Earthrealm?
Scorpion: Allow me to demonstrate our skills.

Liu Kang: How did you breach the Temple of the Elements?!
Sektor: I will not share that secret.

Liu Kang: You should have trusted me, Sektor.
Sektor: Why?! You left Bi-Han to rot.

Liu Kang: I have only ever wanted what's best --
Sektor: I am sure you believe that, too.

Liu Kang: There will be no conspiring with Quan Chi.
Sektor: You're a god, aren't you? Stop me.

Liu Kang: You have fallen short of every hope I had for you.
Shang Tsung: Music to my ears, Liu Kang.

Liu Kang: The realms nearly died, and still you won't repent.
Shang Tsung: I would do the same again in a heartbeat.

Liu Kang: Your Titan self is not one to emulate.
Shang Tsung: Why? Because he threatens your power?

Liu Kang: Your thirst for power will never be quenched.
Shang Tsung: You say that like it's a character flaw.

Liu Kang: I do not ask for worship, just faith.
Sindel: That must be earned, Liu Kang.

Liu Kang: The wise warrior avoids the battle.
Sindel: As Empress, I often have no choice.

Liu Kang: Crafting a timeline is a complex endeavor.
Sindel: So I should be quiet? And not complain?

Liu Kang: Not once have I sought to influence you unduly.
Sindel: Your intentions haven't always matched your actions.

Liu Kang: Kuai Liang needs you for the battles ahead.
Smoke: I'll always be there for him, Liu Kang.

Liu Kang: I cannot bring back your family, Tomas.
Smoke: You can't or you won't?

Liu Kang: Hanzo must master his anger.
Smoke: We will teach him the way.

Liu Kang: You have forsaken your family.
Sub-Zero: To free the Lin Kuei from bondage.

Liu Kang: For Earthrealm's sake, reconcile with Kuai Liang.
Sub-Zero: Never again shall his name pass my lips.

Liu Kang: Your brothers regret losing your fellowship.
Sub-Zero: Then they shouldn't have disobeyed my commands.

Liu Kang: Come in from the cold, Bi-Han.
Sub-Zero: And again kneel before you?

Liu Kang: You will not enter the Temple of the Elements.
Sub-Zero: I will have the power you've locked away inside.

Liu Kang: Your actions cost lives, Bi-Han!
Sub-Zero: They were in the Lin Kuei's best interests.

Liu Kang: The straight path is a narrow one.
Takeda: And I don't plan to stray from it.

Liu Kang: Your cousin's cause is noble.
Takeda: That doesn't make it mine.

Liu Kang: You could benefit from the Shaolin's wisdom.
Takeda: I have all the training I need.

Liu Kang: Seek repentance, not retribution.
Takeda: I seek *justice*, Liu Kang.

Liu Kang: I would like Raiden to train with the Umgadi.
Tanya: We'll teach him to fight like a woman.

Liu Kang: The Umgadi's vigilance is a boon to Outworld.
Tanya: Do you say that to bias me in your favor?

Liu Kang: There are challenges ahead for your order.
Tanya: Warnings are worthless if they aren't specific.

Liu Kang: I am glad you and the Empress found each other.
Tanya: Are you the reason we're together?

Mileena: A demon at court would infuriate the Archdukes.
Ashrah: I won't be part of your intrigues, Empress.

Mileena: You found no evil in Kitana. What about me?
Ashrah: I would rather not say, Your Highness.

Mileena: Tarkat is a hell I could have scarcely imagined.
Ashrah: May it prove more escapable than the Netherrealm.

Mileena: Would I find any allies in the Netherrealm?
Ashrah: None whom you could ever trust.

Mileena: Shao must be hunted down.
Baraka: I will gladly help sniff him out.

Mileena: I can feel the bloodlust rising.
Baraka: Control it, Empress. Before it controls you.

Mileena: Is there any hope for those like us?
Baraka: I pray to Delia every day for a miracle.

Mileena: Show me how a tribune fights, Baraka.
Baraka: Those days are long behind me, Empress.

Mileena: Was I wise to spare Sektor?
Cyrax: Time will tell, Empress.

Mileena: You helped vanquish Titan Havik, can you help vanquish Shao?
Cyrax: Only if the Shirai Ryu approves the mission.

Mileena: I want my entire army fitted with that armor.
Cyrax: I believe Liu Kang would object.

Mileena: Your new clan had better keep the Lin Kuei in check.
Cyrax: We hope to fix them, not merely contain them.

Mileena: Must I kill you again to speak to my father?
Ermac: Yes.

Mileena: You won't leave my sight. You have my parent's souls.
Ermac: We cannot obey you, Empress.

Mileena: How do I know you won't return to Quan Chi?
Ermac: You don't. You must trust us.

Mileena: The strength of Quan Chi's magic --
Ermac: Made it possible for us to save Sindel.

Mileena: Shoda, Tovach -- They both reject you.
General Shao: My siblings are dead to me, Mileena.

Mileena: My mother's blood is on your hands.
General Shao: Yours will be too, if you don't surrender.

Mileena: This is your last chance to beg my forgiveness.
General Shao: Why would I want that?

Mileena: It was a mistake to show you mercy.
General Shao: Yes. It was.

Mileena: I can't imagine my mother ever having been evil.
Geras: It was not a look she wore well.

Mileena: I want to know more about previous Shaos and Sindels.
Geras: There is nothing to be gained from that knowledge.

Mileena: I want the sorcerers eliminated.
Geras: That is not my role, Empress.

Mileena: Is my future with Tanya secure?
Geras: If you survive its challenges.

Mileena: What do you hope to gain from this?
Ghostface: Your teeth. Gonna make a necklace of 'em.

Mileena: How did you get past Tanya?
Ghostface: It was death by a thousand cuts.

Mileena: You were one of the conspirators!
Havik: At your service, Empress.

Mileena: Shang Tsung? Quan Chi? Where are they?!
Havik: I know nothing of my former partners.

Mileena: My mother would show mercy. I will not.
Havik: So you aren't the weakling people think.

Mileena: Your Seidan assault created troubles for Outworld.
Havik: Just as I had hoped.

Mileena: First Omni-Man, now you?! I am done with caped villains.
Homelander: I wear it better.

Mileena: Your heroic mask hides a monster.
Homelander: Blah, blah, blah.

Mileena: You may be a champion, but you are still a commoner.
Johnny Cage: Commoner?! Okay. Now I'm triggered.

Mileena: My sister will never want you.
Johnny Cage: Yeah, she made that clear when she slapped my face.

Mileena: Why did I agree to let your film crew in the palace?
Johnny Cage: Because deep down, you know you wanna be in showbiz.

Mileena: I hear you're not a very good actor.
Johnny Cage: When did you start reading the trades?

Mileena: Don't be vexed. I won't bite.
Kenshi: Let’s keep our teeth to ourselves, shall we?

Mileena: I am truly sorry that I blinded you.
Kenshi: I have only myself to blame, Empress.

Mileena: You bring out the animal in me.
Kenshi: I promise, it's not intentional.

Mileena: Is it fair that you fight with a magic sword?
Kenshi: Would it be fair if I had to fight blind?

Mileena: When I find Shang Tsung, I'll skin him --
Kitana: Patience, Sister. We need him alive.

Mileena: There are still courtiers who whisper against me.
Kitana: Do not let their petty intrigues distract you.

Mileena: Already they pressure me to produce an heir!
Kitana: An empress has many duties, Sister.

Mileena: I want Shao and Reiko. Do not fail me.
Kitana: I wouldn't dream of it, Empress.

Mileena: Your friend Raiden is infuriatingly humble.
Kung Lao: It is annoying, isn't it?

Mileena: Why were you chosen to help defend Earthrealm?
Kung Lao: To honor my family's legacy.

Mileena: I don't know why Tanya suggested we fight.
Kung Lao: She knows I have something to teach you.

Mileena: You remind me of a baron who once courted me.
Kung Lao: I must assume that didn't go well.

Mileena: As a royal, my life is never my own.
Li Mei: Your mother often felt the palace a prison.

Mileena: Abandoning your post is a betrayal.
Li Mei: Doubt my choices, Empress. But never doubt my loyalty.

Mileena: I want the sorcerers' heads, Li Mei!
Li Mei: They are proving most elusive, Empress.

Mileena: I've studied your teachings well, Li Mei.
Li Mei: I will be the judge of that, Empress.

Mileena: The next prison to hold Shao must be stronger.
Liu Kang: If you'll allow it, I will confine him to the Void.

Mileena: I will deal with those who object to my rule.
Liu Kang: Be a sovereign, Empress, not a tyrant.

Mileena: Would you ever have told us who you truly are?
Liu Kang: Had it not been for this crisis, no.

Mileena: Are other villains you've neutered dwelling in this timeline?
Liu Kang: I would rather not reveal that, Empress.

Mileena: You're my twin?
Mileena: No. I'm your clone.

Mileena: I can't take any more of these nightmares.
Mileena: You're wide awake, Sister.

Mileena: You would steal my throne?
Mileena: Back from a sniveling imposter.

Mileena: How do you have my face?
Mileena: Your face?! It is mine!

Mileena: There can be only one empress.
Mileena: Then off with your head, Queen.

Mileena: This is Shang Tsung's doing.
Mileena: Why assume he's your only enemy?

Mileena: You'll tell me what Vaeternus is plotting.
Nitara: Ha! I won't divulge what we do in the shadows.

Mileena: Better to have Tarkat than to be Vaeternian.
Nitara: Along with her throne, you've inherited your mother's bigotry.

Mileena: My army's still strong enough to keep Vaeternus at bay.
Nitara: Fear peeks through your bravado, Empress.

Mileena: For aiding Shao's coup, I will flay you alive.
Nitara: And people think Vaeternians are blood thirsty.

Mileena: Your clan is forbidden from Outworld.
Noob Saibot: Edicts must be enforceable, Empress.

Mileena: Your suffering does not absolve you
Noob Saibot: I was not aware I had sinned.

Mileena: On the souls of my parents, I swear --
Noob Saibot: To crush me? Ha! You may try.

Mileena: Outworld is the strongest of all realms.
Omni-Man: Good. I'll break Outworld first to prove a point.

Mileena: You stand in the presence of Outworld's empress.
Omni-Man: Am I supposed to be impressed?

Mileena: Cease your drivel, or I will cease it for you.
Peacemaker: Have I overly bent the royal ear?

Mileena: Outworld will survive without your help.
Peacemaker: Whatever, lady. It's your funeral.

Mileena: I have a prophecy for *you*, sorcerer.
Quan Chi: Can I surmise that it predicts my death?

Mileena: How could you embrace the Netherrealm's evil?
Quan Chi: I should have let myself die in the mines?

Mileena: I plan to kill you in a most heinous way.
Quan Chi: Best of luck to you, Empress.

Mileena: Your crimes against my family --
Quan Chi: Are beyond your means to punish.

Mileena: Mother should've let me fight you.
Raiden: You would have challenged me, Empress.

Mileena: How could you defeat us. You're just a boy!
Raiden: Not by Earthrealm standards.

Mileena: My empire doesn't need Earthrealm's help to thrive.
Raiden: We are here should you need us.

Mileena: I pray that Earthrealm never feels Tarkat's bite.
Raiden: It's possible that it could?

Mileena: Amara is banished from the imperial court.
Rain: Do not hold my crimes against my mother.

Mileena: Kitana says you deserve mercy.
Rain: Can I have a moment to explain why?

Mileena: You are hereby banished from practicing magic.
Rain: You can't do that to me, Empress!!

Mileena: You must die. There is no alternative.
Rain: It's unfortunate that's how you feel.

Mileena: This war must end, Reiko.
Reiko: It will when you surrender or die.

Mileena: You've squandered your chance for mercy.
Reiko: I want none from you, Empress.

Mileena: I've given Kotal Shao's old post.
Reiko: That Osh-Tekk could never replace him.

Mileena: You are not the soldier you think you are.
Reiko: I dare you to think of even a single weakness.

Mileena: What's being done to Zaterrans like you is abominable!
Reptile: Then the Crown will put an end to it?

Mileena: All of my emissaries must learn to fight well.
Reptile: Shall I show you what Kitana's taught me?

Mileena: Your family must be very proud of you.
Reptile: My family is dead, Empress.

Mileena: You should bring Ashrah to court.
Reptile: She'd prefer to avoid its politics.

Mileena: My bond with Kitana can't be broken.
Scorpion: I'd once thought the same of mine with Bi-Han.

Mileena: Why refuse me? I wish to honor your service.
Scorpion: The Shirai Ryu do not seek glory.

Mileena: You speak with my sister about threats to my rule?
Scorpion: I meant no offense, Empress.

Mileena: There are things about Liu Kang I must know.
Scorpion: I will not betray his confidence.

Mileena: That I was convinced to give you mercy --
Sektor: Give me a chance. I'll make it worth your while.

Mileena: I can’t trust Lin Kuei. You were complicit in --
Sektor: Bi-Han knew nothing of Titan Shang Tsung.

Mileena: I know Shao's tried to enlist your services.
Sektor: And he has failed.

Mileena: Did you truly believe I'd turn against Mother?
Shang Tsung: For a moment, I was convinced.

Mileena: You have a cure for Tarkat, don't you.
Shang Tsung: If I did, I'd be a much wealthier man.

Mileena: My mother let a snake slither into her court.
Shang Tsung: Those worried for their children are easily deceived.

Mileena: You've no future in Outworld, sorcerer.
Shang Tsung: That's not what my oracle tells me.

Mileena: I have had enough of my doubters.
Sindel: To silence them, prove them wrong.

Mileena: I would've beaten Raiden, Mother.
Sindel: No Outworlder was going to win that day.

Mileena: Any advice for the future Empress?
Sindel: Dignity, Mileena. Always dignity.

Mileena: This body is my future. Look at me!
Sindel: We *will* find a cure for you, Mileena.

Mileena: We should hunt together some time.
Smoke: As long as I'm not the quarry.

Mileena: I want Bi-Han brought before me!
Smoke: The Shirai Ryu won't do that, Your Majesty.

Mileena: I tire of those my sister sends to train me.
Smoke: If we do this quickly, I can be on my way.

Mileena: Are you ready for the fight of your life?
Smoke: It seems I have to be.

Mileena: I'll have your head, Bi-Han!
Sub-Zero: Your mother's death wasn't my doing.

Mileena: You know nothing of what it takes to rule.
Sub-Zero: Your enemies say the same of you.

Mileena: By freeing Shao, you have become Outworld's enemy.
Sub-Zero: Only for as long as you hold power.

Mileena: Your cryomancy is not intimidating.
Sub-Zero: Soon it will freeze you with fear.

Mileena: Why I should allow you to search in Outworld?
Takeda: Because the Red Dragon is bleeding all of us.

Mileena: If we're not careful, you could end up like your cousin.
Takeda: Don't worry, Empress. Kenshi warned me.

Mileena: Redemption must be earned, Earthrealmer.
Takeda: So Ashrah keeps telling me, Empress.

Mileena: If Liu Kang hasn’t trained you, I --
Takeda: He's not the only Earthrealmer who can fight.

Mileena: Haven't we fought enough today?
Tanya: Do you wish to be trained or not, Your Highness?

Mileena: Making you Matron Superior caused a stir.
Tanya: You won't regret your choice.

Mileena: It's rumored Shao will return.
Tanya: If so, the Umgadi will be ready.

Mileena: You were to fully reinstate Li Mei as Umgadi.
Tanya: I tried, but she declined.
