Dr. Betruger
- Dr. Malcolm Betruger: You're Lieutenant... Joan Dark! In the mayhem of the moment, I completely forgot who you were. You're the one who set Rudolph Martin free.
- [to Cyr]
- Dr. Malcolm Betruger: He's one of the most dangerous terrorists in the world.
- Lieutenant Joan Dark: That's not exactly how it happened.
- Dr. Malcolm Betruger: Of course, not. I'm sure you've got your side of the story. See, I'm briefed on all matters that pertain to this base, so I only read the official conclusion of the review board. Although it did strike me as odd that a unit as accomplished as yours should be assigned here. As I recall, you disobeyed a direct order, so my base is your punishment.
- Chaplain: Those slabs ain't for travel, they opened up a portal to Hell for those things to come through.
- Dr. Malcolm Betruger: Don't be ridiculous, this was just a setback.
- Private Carley Corbin: Did you just call what happened today a setback?
- Dr. Malcolm Betruger: My business is saving humanity. A handful of lives lost is tragic, but yes... a setback.
- Dr. Malcolm Betruger: [activating the portal to Hell] Earth was THEIRS long before it was ours! Language, science, math! They gave us everything! Without them, we wouldn't evolve! They simply want what's rightfully theirs back.
- Dr. Malcolm Betruger: These Gates are the greatest discovery in the history of mankind and they will not be sacrificed! I will not allow it!
- Dr. Malcolm Betruger: Was it your ego, "Lieutenant"? Or did you just know better? Or did you make a mistake? I mean, we all make mistakes. I certainly did!
- [chuckles]
- Private Steven Winslow: Hey! That's enough, Doc!
- Dr. Malcolm Betruger: Ah, Private Winslow. In your testimony to the review board, you said Lieutenant Dark was incompetent, should be arrested and dishonorably discharged! Private Corbin, you asked to be reassigned, citing that you could never trust Lieutenant Dark again!
- Private Carley Corbin: Joan! I never said that!
- Dr. Malcolm Betruger: And your Captain Savage, he asked if Lieutenant Dark... was guilty of treason! TREASON! Which carries the death penalty!
- Dr. Ahmed Kahn: Dr. Betruger, what if the trip wasn't as instantaneous as it first appeared? We are violating the laws of physics.
- Dr. Malcolm Betruger: I'm fully aware of what we're doing. Ahmed, we're running out of time. If we don't show progress, they'll shut us down. There's too much at stake. I'm not going to allow bureaucrats that don't understand the science that keeps them alive today determine the science that will keep them alive tomorrow.
- Dr. Ahmed Kahn: I could not, in good conscience, select another to go through the Gates.
- Dr. Malcolm Betruger: You won't have to. I'll go myself.
- Dr. Malcolm Betruger: I was reborn, Joan. What I thought was punishment, turned out to be my salvation. He gave me a purpose. He showed me the way and he'll do the same for all mankind.
- Dr. Malcolm Betruger: Lieutenant Dark. Your persistence is impressive.
- Lieutenant Joan Dark: I'm gonna need you to power down and step away from the controls.
- Dr. Malcolm Betruger: No, I'm sorry. I've spent my entire life looking for the new world. I finally found it.
- Lieutenant Joan Dark: Consider this your last warning, Doctor!
- [Betruger utters a phrase in Sumerian]
- Lieutenant Joan Dark: What did you say?
- Dr. Malcolm Betruger: I wasn't talking to you.
- [Doors open, an Imp runs out. Joan blasts it with the BFG-9000]
- Dr. Malcolm Betruger: Someone found a shiny, new toy.
- [last lines]
- Dr. Malcolm Betruger: [having been shot point blank to no effect] You can't kill what's already dead.
- [sends Joan Dark straight into the portal to Hell]
