BioShock 2 Public Address Announcements

Sofia Lamb Announcements
"This is Doctor Sofia Lamb, with a message for the people. Remember, you are not alone. Think of me not as leader, but as a mother to The Rapture Family."

- In room with Splicers in large pool of water in Adonis Luxury Resort

"This is Doctor Sofia Lamb, with a message for the people. Remember, Big Sister is always watching. To steal ADAM is to steal from the Rapture family. YOUR family."

- After first fight with a Big Sister in Adonis Luxury Resort

"This is Sofia Lamb. Andrew Ryan is dead, but the tyrant lives on. Remember: we reject the gene; we reject the self; we reject the tyrant."

- In Workshop 6A of the Atlantic Express

"Citizens of Rapture! This is Subject Delta. Behind that mask hides an enemy of the people, without soul or sympathy. It is a beast apart, and as Family we must tear off its jaw and drive it back into the sea."

- In ticket booth of Atlantic Express

"Each of us has a moral duty to increase the common joy and ease the common pain. Alone we are nothing, mere engines of self interest. Together, we are the Family, and through unity we transcend the self."

- In the gift shop of Ryan Amusements

"Ryan saw the individual as a hero, a noble survivor. And Rapture was his paradise; a shrine to the supremacy of the self. The result? Slavery, genocide, chaos. Now that the tyrant is dead we are a true collective, a single family."

- In Ryan Amusements entrance

"Attention: Subject Delta is trapped in Pauper's Drop. All rail car travel is suspended until he is found! Remember... the enemy is alone, we are the Family!"

"Attention: Subject Delta has drained and infiltrated Dionysus Park. His death is our rebirth -- the life of the People's Daughter is in your hands!"

- After entering Dionysus Park and killing the Houdini Splicer

"Attention! Augustus Sinclair has been sighted inside the facility. He will attempt to reach Subject Delta. All Family duties are hereby suspended until he is found!"

- Outer Persephone, when walking past Sofia as a Little Sister

Excerpts from Unity and Metamorphosis

 * "This is not a sermon, I will offer no insight, every word I speak, you already know."


 * "My father was a physician, he raised me not to echo him, but to model the world as it ought to be. I was to teach a simple moral calculus, each choice as thought the world must bear it, each life or death for the common good. He called it the triage imperative, and would laugh without smiling."


 * "Utopia, said aloud, it evokes heaven on earth, yet the word means both good place and no place, an ideal unreachable even in the naming of it, we refuse to believe and yet, we will forever seek utopia, driven always to want more, no matter how much we have. It is among the grandest of human ironies that our very drive to find utopia has kept us from abiding there."


 * "Think "I will smile" and act as such. Congratulations, you have just experienced the illusion of free will. Now think "I will never become angry again" and act as such, the illusion begins to break down. Your genes have no objection to an empty smile, but anger to the gene is part of the program, I submit the following conclusion -- the gene is the enemy."


 * "What is good? Only one definition endures; the fulfillment of ones' pleasure. What then is the greater good? To calculate pleasure or suffering in the majority, we must account for the dimension of time, each act must be measured, not merely within the moment, but against all causality, the greater good therefore equates to total pleasure over time."

The Protector Trials
The following are announcements made by Sofia Lamb:
 * "Tenenbaum's slave must be found and broken! Death is the only mercy!"


 * "There is a cancer among us, family. Rise up and cut him out for the people, for Eleanor ."


 * "The enemy would rob us our salvation. Rise up, family. Find him and bring him down."


 * "Find the interloper. Let him know the rough of the people."


 * "The body of Rapture is being bled dry. It is ours to defend her for we are her family."


 * "This unthinking creature is an animal. He knows nothing of salvation. End his pain."


 * "ADAM is ascension. Find the enemy and spare him no fury!"


 * "Remember : ADAM is our legacy. Find the interloper. Protect the Family."


 * "The age of rebirth approaches, family. Let no one bother path to salvation."


 * "We are the family. And even in death, we ascend. Do not fail us!"


 * "To die for the people is to die for paradise. This is your chance."


 * "Together, we shall prevail. The enemy shall drown in the blood of the family."

Grace Holloway Announcements
"I remember you, Monster. You stole Eleanor from me! Twisted that baby girl into a thing so sick it can't even die! And now you come swannin' into my neighborhood... lookin' for me? Wrong turn, Tin Daddy! When we hang you from a street light, and you chokin' out you last, huh, I want you to remember my face!"

- Entering Pauper's Drop

"Family! That monster has taken another of our babies for his own! Tin Daddy is hollow like jail cell that needs fillin', and he will never let her go unless you hunt him down!"

- Subject Delta's first Harvest with the Little Sister in Pauper's Drop

"The Monster has taken another of our children, Family. He would turn her from us just as he did with Eleanor! Show this thing what befalls the boogeyman when he steps into our garden!"

- During Delta's Second Harvest with the Little Sister

"Eleanor's grown now, Baby Snatcher. Even after what you did to her, Doctor Lamb found a way to shape that girl into something perfect, something holy. She's a daughter to us all. Nobody in Rapture will shelter to you now!"

- After escaping the Fishbowl Diner alive

"Once I lived the life of a millionaire; Spending my money, I didn't care; I carried my friends out for a good time; Buying bootleg liquor, champagne and wine; Then I began to fall so low; I didn't have a friend, and no place to go; So if I ever get my hand on a dollar again; I'm gonna hold on to it till them eagle's grin; Nobody knows you when you down and out; In my pocket not one penny; And my friends I haven't any; But If I ever get on my feet again; Then I'll meet my long lost friend; It's mighty strange, without a doubt; Nobody knows you when you down and out; I mean when you down and out; Mmmmmmmm... when you're down and out; Mmmmmmmm... not one penny; And my friends I haven't any; Mmmmmmmm... Well I felt so low; Nobody wants you round their door; Mmmmmmmm... Without a doubt, No man can use you when you down and out; I mean when you down and out."

- Grace sings "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out" while you Gather in the Hotel lobby

"The Baby Snatcher headed up into the Hotel, Family! He wants me so he can get to Eleanor! Tin Daddy feels no guilt! Tin Daddy feels no pain! But we are the Family and we can teach him how!"

- Entering the Hotel Room at the end of the first hallway

"Blood divides us, Monster. It's blood that makes us strangers. But thanks to Doctor Lamb, we're all family, now. One people, one cause. You could stop this heart, bleed this old body, but you cannot end the Family! And as for you, Tin Daddy, you're dyin' alone!"

- Survive the wave attack before entering the third floor

"Watchin' you hurt gives me such a lift, Monster! But I'm not as clean on the inside as the Doctor, I take my joy when I can!"

- After destroying the Security Turret down the hall

"Andrew Ryan told me that 'In Rapture, it didn't matter where you came from.' BUNK! Times got hard, and all our old bigotries bubbled right back up! But Doctor Lamb showed us that down under the skin, down under the money, down under our very name...we are family!"

- Entering the apartment complex on the third floor

"We both die tonight, Monster! I, because your kind has killin' in its nature. And you, because there's no way the Family will let you stroll out alive with that key!"

- Entering Grace's Penthouse

Bioshock 2 Multiplayer Public Address Announcementsganda Playlets (Jim & Mary)
Jim: ''Hey, Mary, going to the big game tonight? I heard Ryan's Raiders are playing.''

Mary: ''No way, Jim! It's not safe. Haven't you heard? Atlas' bandits are everywhere.''

Jim: ''Hold on a second there! Remember what Andrew Ryan says: if you do that, the bandits win. Take your family to Fort Frolic and Arcadia. Go out and shop. It's the Rapture way of life!''

― The Rapture Way of Life

Jim: ''What's wrong, Mary? You look like you've just heard some TERRIBLE news.''

Mary: ''Capital punishment! In Rapture! This isn't what I signed up for!''

Jim: ''Now hold on there, pretty lady. The only people who face capital punishment in Rapture are the smugglers, and that's because they put everything we've worked for at risk. Imagine if the Soviets found out about our wonderful city, or even the U.S. government! Our secrecy is our shield.''

Mary: A little capital punishment IS a small price to pay to protect all of our freedoms.

Jim: Now you're talking, Mary!

― Capital Punishment

Mary :   ''A holiday in Arcadia? But Jim, we might run into one of those Big Daddies ! They smell so strange, and they never take a break. Some people are calling it slavery.''

<p style="color:rgb(255,255,255);margin-left:24px;">Jim: ''That's just sweat, Mary, the sweat of their brow! The Big Daddies are proud volunteers helping to keep Rapture safe.''

<p style="color:rgb(255,255,255);margin-left:24px;">Mary: ''You're right as usual, Jim. Their hard work gives us time to stop and smell the roses. Lets go!''

<p style="color:rgb(255,255,255);margin-left:24px;">Jim: ''Whoa there Mary, you know who 'everyone' is? Criminals. What's dangerous is the idea that a gun is enough to protect what's yours.''

<p style="color:rgb(255,255,255);margin-left:24px;">Mary: ''Goodness, I didn't even think of that! Splicing keeps us safe, and Rapture safe as well!''
