COD4

"Right, well what the hell kinda name is 'Soap', eh? How'd a muppet like you pass selection?" -Price to Soap in "F.N.G."

"On your feet, soldier! We're leaving!" -Price in "Crew Expendable"

"Nikolai's in hell right now, we're gonna walk him out." -Price in "Blackout"

"I was just a 'Leftenant' back then, doin' some wetwork. Chernobyl, Christmas for the bad guys. Even a decade later, a lot of 'em still used it to get their hands on nuclear material...including one, Imran Zakhaev. Of course, we couldn't just let that happen. Cash for spent fuel rods? That's one hell of a recipe for destruction. It was the first time our government had authorized an assassination order since the Second World War. I was under the command of Captain MacMillan..." -Price explaining his backstory in the intro cutscene of "All
Ghillied Up"

MW2

"These dogs are like pussycats compared to the ones in Pripyat." -Price talking about the German Shepherds in "Contingency"

"Funny, I could've sworn we ended this war yesterday..." -Price during the intro of "Loose Ends"

"You have to trust someone to be betrayed. I never did." -Price in the intro of "The Enemy of My Enemy"

"The healthy human mind doesn't wake up in the morning thinking this is its last day on Earth. But I think that's a luxury, not a curse. To know you're near the end is...a kind of freedom. A good time to take...inventory. Outgunned, outnumbered, out of our minds, on a suicide mission. But the sands and rocks here, stained with thousands of years of warfare...they will remember us...for this. Because out of all our vast array of nightmares, this is the one we choose for ourselves. We go forth like a breath exhaled from the Earth. With vigor in our hearts, and one goal in sight: we...will...kill him..." -Price's speech in the intro of "Just Like Old Times"

"This is for the record. History is written by the victor. History is filled with liars. If he lives, and we die, his truth becomes written-and ours is lost. Shepherd will be a hero, 'cause all you need is one good lie and a river of blood. He's about to complete the greatest trick a liar ever played on history. His truth will become THE truth. But that's only if he lives, and we die..." -Price's speech in "Endgame"

MW3

"Your world as you knew it...is gone. How far will you go to bring it back? Shepherd created a war, but only we knew the truth." -Price in the game's prologue

"Beyond the jagged edges of war, there were still Russians who rejected Makarov's lunacy-men, willing to stand against the tide." -Price in the intro of "Persona Non Grata"

"They say truth is the first casualty of war. But who defines what's true? Truth is just a matter of perspective. The duty of every soldier is to protect the innocent, and sometimes that means preserving the lie of good and evil, that war isn't just natural selection played out on a grand scale. The only truth I found is that the world we live in is a giant tinderbox; all it takes...is someone to light the match..." -Price's speech in "Turbulence"

"Makarov wouldn't let this travel lightly if it didn't serve a greater purpose...and chances are, the bastard will be there personally to see things off. If he's back on the grid, then so are we." -Price in "Back on the Grid"

"Right, then. This is for the boys at Hereford." -Price in "Return to Sender"

"There's a clock tower in Hereford where the names of the dead are inscribed. We try to honor their deeds, even as their faces fade from our memory. Those memories are all that's left, when the bastards have taken everything else." -Price mourning over Soap's death in "Stronghold"

"There's a simplicity to war, attacking is the only secret. Dare, and the world yields. How quickly they forget, that all it takes to change the course of history...is the will of a single man..." -Price in the intro of "Dust to Dust"

"This is it. Makarov is not leaving here, alive. Get ready...this is for Soap..." -Price explaining to Yuri as they begin assaulting the hotel in "Dust to Dust"

Shepherd: "Back from the brink, captain?"
Price: "Out of the frying pan is more like it. This world looks more like hell than the one I just left."
-Price and Shepherd talking during the intro of "Contingency"

"The more things change, the more they stay the same. Boundaries shift, new players step in; but power always finds a place to rest its head. We fought and bled alongside the Russians; we should've known they’d hate us for it. History is written by the victor, and here I am, thinking we'd won. But you bring down one enemy and they find someone even worse to replace him. Locations change, the rationale, the objective. Yesterday's enemies are today’s recruits. Train them to fight alongside you and pray they don’t eventually decide to hate you for it, too. (pause) Same s***, different day."
— Shepherd's speech during the intro to S.S.D.D.

"We are the most powerful military force in the history of man. Every fight is our fight, because what happens over here matters over there. We don't get to sit one out. Learning to use the tools of modern warfare is the difference between the prospering of your people, and utter destruction. We can't give you freedom. But we can give you the know-how to acquire it. And that, my friends, is worth more than a whole army base of steel. Sure it matters who's got the biggest stick, but it matters a helluva lot more who's swinging it. This is a time for heroes. A time for legends. History is written by the victors. Let's get to work."
— Shepherd discussing the military might of the United States, during the briefing of Team Player

"Get up, Private Allen! Rangers lead the way! Move!"
— Shepherd telling Joseph Allen to go with the rest of the Rangers

"Makarov's no prize, he's a mad-dog killer for the highest bidder. Just remember your new identity. It'll keep you alive."
— Shepherd to Joseph Allen

"You don't want to know what it's cost to put you next to him. It will cost you a piece of yourself. It will cost nothing compared to everything you'll save."
— Last speech of Shepherd to Joseph Allen

"It's been a tough week, gentlemen. We've lost more than we ever dreamed. But we will recover. I've got a blank check. And we're gonna use every cent of it killin' Makarov. Despite what the world may say, we are not savages, we don't kill civilians. We use precision. There's an evil man hiding in these shadows and we're gonna bring him into the light. Once his face is revealed, we will write history, gentlemen."
— Shepherd in a speech to Task Force 141 during the briefing of Loose Ends

"Do you have the DSM? Good, that's one less loose end."
— Shepherd, when Ghost and Roach bring the DSM to the extraction point, before his betrayal of Task Force 141

"You know what they say about revenge: you better be ready to dig two graves... (long pause) Go ahead and end it. It won't change anything. (long pause) Hmph. I know you couldn't do it. (long pause) You're a good warrior, but you can never take that extra step to do what was absolutely necessary."
— Shepherd, if the player does not immediately attempt to kill him at the car in Endgame.

"Five years ago, I lost 30,000 men in the blink of an eye, and the world just f***** watched. Tomorrow there will be no shortage of volunteers, no shortage of patriots. I know you understand."
— Shepherd's final words before attempting to execute "Soap" MacTavish at the end of Endgame
