Assassin's Creed II

Assassin’s Creed II is a 2009 stealth video game.

Ezio Auditore da Firenze

• Silencio! Silencio! Twenty-two years ago, I stood where I stand now... and watched my loved ones die, betrayed by those I called friends. Vengeance clouded my mind, and it would have consumed me, were it not for the wisdom of a few strangers, who taught me to look past my instincts. They never preached answers but guided me to learn for myself. We don't need anyone to tell us what to do. Not Savonarola, nor the Medici. We are free to follow our own path. There are those who would take that freedom from us, and too many of you gladly give it up. But it is our ability to choose - whatever you think is true - that makes us human. There is no book or teacher to give you the answers, to show you the path. Choose your own way. Do not follow me, or anyone else.
• Requiescat in Pace, you bastard.

Dialogue

[Desmond sits in the Animus 2.0.]

Desmond Miles: So, how does this work?

[Rebecca shows him a needle connected to the Animus, and gives him a sympathetic look.]

Desmond: Of course...

Rebecca Crane: Deep breath...

[Rebecca "plugs" Desmond in.]

Desmond: Agh!

Shaun Hastings: Oh, what are you, a tiny child?

Rebecca: [exasperated] Shaun!

Shaun: Well...

---

Shaun: Good guys? Let's not get carried away.

Rebecca: What's that supposed to mean?

Shaun: In case you've forgotten, Rebecca, we're Assassins. I could look it up for you, if you like. Basically, it means we assassinate people.

Desmond: Only when we have to.

Shaun: It's a choice. You're choosing to kill.
