Robert Clotworthy: Jim Raynor

Quotes 

• [Raynor has been sent to rendezvous with Kerrigan, a beautiful psychic] 

  Lt. Sarah Kerrigan : Captain Raynor, I've finished scouting out the area, and... you pig!

  Jim Raynor : What! I haven't even said anything to you yet.

  Lt. Sarah Kerrigan : Yeah, but you were thinking it.

  Jim Raynor : Oh, yeah! you're a telepath.

  [referring to the mission] 

  Jim Raynor : Look, Lets just get on with this, ok?

• Jim Raynor : I can't believe you're really going to trust this snake!

  Arcturus Mengsk : Don't worry, Jim. He's our snake now.

• Lt. Sarah Kerrigan : This is Kerrigan. We've neutralized the Protoss but there's a wave of Zerg advancing on this position. We need immidiate evac!

  Arcturus Mengsk : Belay that order. We're moving out.

  Jim Raynor : What! You're not just gonna leave them?

  Arcturus Mengsk : All ships prepare to move away from Tarsonis on my mark.

  Lt. Sarah Kerrigan : Uh, boys? How about that evac?

  Jim Raynor : Damn you, Arcturus! Don't do this!

  Arcturus Mengsk : I's done. Hellsman, signal the fleet and take us out of orbit. Now!

  Lt. Sarah Kerrigan : Commander? Jim? What the hell is going on up there?

• [as the Chrysalis opens up, revealing its inhabitant] 

  The Overmind : Arise, my daughter. Arise... Kerrigan.

  Infested Kerrigan : By your will, Father, I live to serve. Let all those who oppose the Overmind feel the wrath of the swarm.

  The Overmind : Well done, Cerebrate! What I have wrought this day shall be the undoing of my enemies. Let not a Terran survive!

  Jim Raynor : Mother of God... Kerrigan, what have they done to you!

• Jim Raynor : Sarah, is that really you?

  Infested Kerrigan : To an extent. I'm far more than I once was, Jim. You shouldn't have come here.

  Jim Raynor : But, the dreams. I dreamed you were still alive, that somehow, you were... calling to me...

  Infested Kerrigan : I was. While I was in the chrysalis, I instinctively reached out to you and Arcturus telephaticly. Apparantly, Arcturus sent Duke here to reclaim me. But that was then, Jim. I am one of the Zerg now, and I like what I am. You can't imagine how this feels.

  Jim Raynor : So? What? Are you goin' to kill me now, darlin'?

  Infested Kerrigan : It is certainly within my power, but you're not a threat to me, Jim. Be smart; leave here now and never seek to confront the Zerg again.

  Jim Raynor : Doesn't look like I have much choice.

• Jim Raynor : Why are you doing this, Kerrigan? Look, I know about your past, I mean I've heard the rumours. I know you were part of those experiments with the Zerg, that Mengsk came and saved you. But you don't owe him this. Hell... I've saved your butt plenty of times.

  Lt. Sarah Kerrigan : Jimmy, drop the knight in shining armour routine. It suts you sometimes, just not... not now. I don't need to be rescued. I know what I'm doing. The Protoss are comeing to destroy the entire planet, not just the Zerg. I know that because... well, I just know it. I am a ghost, remember? Once we dealt with the Protoss, we can do something about the Zerg. Arcturus'll come around. I know he will.

  Jim Raynor : I hope you're right, darling. Good huntin'!

• Arcturus Mengsk : Gentlemen, you've done very well, but remember that we've still got a job to do. The seeds of a new Empire have been sewn, and if we hope to reap...

  Jim Raynor : Aw, to hell with you!

  Arcturus Mengsk : You're making a terrible mistake. Don't even think to cross me. I've sacrificed to much to let this fall apart.

  Jim Raynor : You mean like you sacrificed Kerrigan?

  Arcturus Mengsk : You'll regret that. You don't seem to realize my situation here. I will not be stoped. Not by you, or the Confederates, or the Protoss, or anyone. I will rule this sector or se it burnt to ashes around me! If you try to get in my way...

  The Terran Adjutant : The fleet is prepped and ready, Commander. Awaiting orders.

  Jim Raynor : The hell with him. We're gone.

• Arcturus Mengsk : Gentlemen, you've done very well, but remember that we've still got a job to do. The seeds of a new Empire have been sewn, and if we hope to reap...

  Jim Raynor : Aw, to hell with you!

• Jim Raynor : It's funny... It seems like yesterday Arcturus was the idealistic rebel crusader. Now he's the law, and we're the criminals.

• Jim Raynor : This is bullshit! Kerrigan, are you reading this?

  Lt. Sarah Kerrigan : I've heard. I'm going down there. Arcturus knows what he's doing, I can't back out on him now.

  Jim Raynor : Funny. I never though of you as anyone's martyr.

• Tassadar : Executor, I stand ready.

  Zeratul : As do I.

  Jim Raynor : Well, I guess all I have left is to se this through. The Zerg have taken everything from me. My home, my friends, my family. I know that nothing I can do can bring those things back but I'll be damned if I just sit on my hands and wait for the end. I want a piece of them all right. I'm in.

  Tassadar : Then let our actions speak for us! For Adun! For Aiur!

• Edmund Duke : Marshal Raynor, by destroying a vital Confederate installation, you and your men have violated standing colonial law. As of right now, you're all under arrest. I suggest you throw down your weapons and come peaceably.

  Jim Raynor : Are you outta your mind? If we hadn't burned that damn factory,this entire colony could have been overrun! Maybe if you hadn't taken your sweet time in getting here...

  Edmund Duke : Now I asked you nice the first time, boy. I didn't come here to talk with you. Now throw down them weapons!

  Jim Raynor : [arrested]  Guess you wouldn't be a Confederate if you weren't a complete pain in the ass.

• Jim Raynor : [Tassadar has been imprisonned inside a stasis cell by Aldaris and the Conclave, Fenix and the Protoss Rebels attempt to rescue him]  This is Raynor. I'd like to help if I can. Tassadar laid it on the line for me and my crew on Char. I'd like to repay the debt. Besides, I'm a long way from home, surrounded by hostile aliens. I've got to do something.

  Fenix : Then you shall, bold human. You shall.

• Aldaris : Who is this human, Tassadar?

  Jim Raynor : The name's Jim Raynor, pal. And I won't be talked down to by anybody. Not even a Protoss.

  Aldaris : Amusing...

• Edmund Duke : This is Duke. The emitters are secured and online.

  Lt. Sarah Kerrigan : Who authourized the use of Psi emitters?

  Arcturus Mengsk : I did, Lieutenant.

  Lt. Sarah Kerrigan : What? The Confederates on Antiga were bad enough but now you're going to use the Zerg against an entire planet? this is insane!

  Jim Raynor : She's right, man. Think this through.

  Arcturus Mengsk : I have thought it through, believe me. You all have your orders, carry them out.

• Jim Raynor : Glad to see you, boys. Time to kick some serious butt.

• Marine : What the hell did they do to that Command Center?

  Jim Raynor : Whatever it is, it ain't natural. Burn it, boys.

• Jim Raynor : Guess you wouldn't be a Confederate if you weren't a complete pain in the ass.

• [Kerrigan is explaining her Ghost training] 

  Lt. Sarah Kerrigan : You all know that the Confederates run a program for psychically gifted humans, training them to be Ghosts. Those running the program found that the Zerg are attuned to the psychic emanations of Ghosts.

  Jim Raynor : So, the Zerg are here for you, darlin'? This keeps getting better and better...

• Jim Raynor : General, I'm impressed. I never figured you for the frontal assault type.

• Aldaris : We sought to punish you, while it was we who were in error. You represent what is greatest in us all, and all our hopes go with you. En Tarro Adun, brave sons of Aiur!

  Jim Raynor : Wow... does that mean their gonna send some backup for us?

• Jim Raynor : First you sell out every person on this world to the Zerg, then you ask us to go up against the Protoss, and you're gonna send Kerrigan down there with no backup!

• Edmund Duke : You're about the last folks I expected to show up. What's your angle here, Mengsk?

  Jim Raynor : Your angle? I'll give you an angle, you slimy Confederate piece of shit...
