Heroic Comedic Sociopath/Quotes

"Frank Hannibal: What are the parts of your job you like the most, Sergeant?

Schlock: My plasma cannons. Using them. Explosions. Close combat. Cutting a wide swath through the enemy.

Frank Hannibal: You like the killing, then.

Schlock: Done right, yeah. Ending a horrible, evil person with superior firepower is very satisfying. It's so much simpler than how society usually tries to do it.

Frank Hannibal: How do you feel about the word "sociopath?"

Schlock: I get mistaken for one all the time."

"Schlock: Hey, we don't need an employer. We're here, the mob is down there, and we're already dressed for dancing.

Schlock: Not sociopaths. NOT. hmmmm...I guess I ought to go set the guys straight on that one.

- Gordon Freeman, Freemans Mind

""It could be safe to say that you would rather have a psychopath at your side that to your back, since they're more likely to splatter your enemy's brains on the wall than your own. The Sociopath loves to fight, or at the very least feels the most alive while in battle. They kill without hesitation or remorse, and only rarely do we see any kind of emotion other than a "Don't fuck with me or I'll shove a rock up your ass" sort of vibe. While dangerous and unpredictable at times, they often have a personal code of honor, and will not break it under any circumstances. Though we doubt shooting you over the last Pop Tart in the pantry falls within the confines of that code, so you'd best watch yourself.""

Max: Nobody we know, at least."

"Guerrero: I'm gonna give you a choice, 'cause I believe in every human being's right to being tortured democratically. Peel your fingernails off with this, or shoot you in the kneecaps. I have a preference, but I'm gonna leave it up to you, it's your body."

Fighter: It's kinda indiscriminate really"

Lance: Now the screams are on the inside."

- Sam and Fuzzy
