M. Bison quotes from Street Fighter (1994)

M. Bison

I was hoping to face Guile personally on the battlefield. One gentleman warrior to another, in respectful combat, then I would snap his spine. Ah! The road not taken. But why? Why do they still call me a warlord? And mad?! All I want to do.. is to create the perfect genetic soldier! Not for power, not for evil, but for good! Carlos Blanka will be the first of many. They shall march out of my laboratory and sweep away every adversary, every creed, every nation! Until the very planet is in the loving grip of the "Pax Bisonica." And then peace will reign...in the world. And all humanity... shall bow to me... in humble gratitude.

It was twenty years ago. You hadn't promoted yourself general yet. You were just a petty drug lord. Huh. You and your gang of murderers gathered your small ounce of courage to raid across the border for food, weapons, and slave labor. [indicates her binds] My father was the village magistrate. A simple man with a simple code: justice. He gathered a few people that he could stand against you. [chuckles] You and your bullies were driven back by farmers with pitchforks. My father saved his village at the cost of his own life. You had him shot as you ran away! A hero...at a thousand paces.

I'm sorry, I don't remember any of it.

You don't remember?

For you, the day Bison graced your village, was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday.

Is this a joke? This money isn't worth the paper it is printed on!!!

Bison

On the contrary, every Bison dollar is worth five British pounds. That is the exchange rate the Bank of England will set once I've kidnapped their Queen.

Colonel Guile

Are you man enough to fight with me?

Bison

Anyone who opposes me will be destroyed!

Colonel Guile

No weapon, Bison? What happened to the purity of unarmed combat?

Bison

This is merely superconductor electromagnetism, surely you've heard of it. It levitates bullet trains from Tokyo to Osaka. It levitates my desk, [summons hover platform] where I ride the saddle of the world. And it levitates... me! [hoverboots engage]
