Big Boss: The nightmares? They never go away, Snake. Once youve been on the battlefield, tasted the exhilaration, the tension it all becomes part of you. Once youve awakened the warrior within it never sleeps again. You crave ever bigger tensions, ever bigger thrills. As a mercenary, Id think you would have realized that by now. You care nothing for power, or money, or even sex. The only thing that satisfies your cravings is war! All Ive done is give you a place for it. Ive given you a reason to live.
