Gears of War 3 (2011 Video Game)

Jamie Alcroft: Victor Hoffman

Quotes 

• Victor Hoffman : [while driving Marcus's group to Anvil Gate]  I'm guessing you didn't come all this way to inquire about my health.

  Marcus Fenix : No. We've got something for you: the key for Prescott's data disc.

  Victor Hoffman : Well, you must think it's pretty damn urgent. I've almost given up on the damn thing.

  Marcus Fenix : It contains information on where Prescott's holding my father. "Azura" - ring any bells with you?

  Victor Hoffman : [surprised]  What'n the hell do you mean, holding your father?

  Marcus Fenix : I got a message from him. He didn't get killed after all. *Prescott* had him kidnapped.

  Victor Hoffman : Dear god almighty! And all that shit's on the disc? Well, where'd you get the key?

  Marcus Fenix : Prescott handed it to me today - just before he died.

  Victor Hoffman : [after pulling up inside the Anvil Gate fortress]  Well, Fenix... I have no goddamn idea what to say. And that's a first for me.

• Marcus Fenix : [as Delta prepares to head to Mercy for submarine fuel]  Can't help but notice that you haven't insisted on coming along, Colonel.

  Victor Hoffman : I didn't surrender this fort in the last war, and I'll be damned if I'm going to abandon it to a bunch of glowie grubs now! Right, Bernie?

  Bernie : [nods]  Yeah, we're too old to run. We'll just sit on the front porch and blow the *shit* out of anything that moves.

• Damon Baird : [after decrypting the Azura data disc]  Here it is: Azura. No pictures, but plenty of data and maps. Knock yourself out.

  Marcus Fenix : But it's an *island.* How the hell do you *hide an island?*

  [a barrier-like formation appears around the island hologram] 

  Victor Hoffman : That's how: More of Prescott's top-secret bullshit! The hell is a "Maelstrom Barrier"?

  Damon Baird : Some kind of shielding device...

  [the formation solidifies into a storm enveloping the island] 

  Damon Baird : Oh, an artificial hurricane around the island! Hey, Prescott was really investing in the "crazy-tyrant technology". I'd almost admire that.
