Notable Quotes from the Games, the Comics, the Movies and the Novels:

Games

Tomb Raider

• Larson: What's a man got to do to get that kinda attention from ya?
• Lara: It's hard to say, exactly, but you seem to be doing fine.
• Larson: Well, great.Though, truth is, it ain’t me that wants ya.
• Lara: No?
• Larson: No. Miss Jacqueline Natla does, from Natla Technologies.You know, creator of all things bright and beautiful [he laughs]

[Natla appears on the screen of a laptop]

• Natla: Seal it, Larson.
• Larson: Ma’am...

[the screen shows money falling down]

• Natla: Feast your eyes on this, Lara. How does that make your wallet rumble?
• Lara: I’m sorry. I only play for sport.
• Natla: Then you’ll like a big park- Peru. Vast mountain ranges to cover. Sheer walls of ice, rocky crag, savage winds. And there’s this little trinket –an age old artifact of mystical powers buried in the unfound tomb of Qualopec. That’s my interest. You could leave tomorrow. Are you busy tomorrow?

• Lara: Oh, Pierre. You litterbug.

• Larson: You and that driveling piece of the Scion. You want to keep it so bad, I’ll harness it right up yer...
• Lara: Wait. We’re talking about the artifact here?
• Larson: Damn straight, we are. Right up...
• Lara: Hold on. I’m sorry. This piece you say...where’s the rest?

• Natla: Evolution’s in a rut. Natural selection in an all time low. Shipping out fresh meat will incite territorial rages again…will strengthen and advance us. Even create new breeds.
• Lara: A kind of evolution on steroids then.

Tomb Raider II: Dagger of Xian

• Lara Croft: Pardon me if that was just your way of trying the doors for me.
• Fiama Nera member: [laughs] With a tommy gun on my keyring.
• Lara: Though not anymore, so after you.
• Fiama Nera member: Somehow, you don’t behave like you’ve got a monk's blood.
• Lara: I understand that "somehow" is in my favor. So indulge me about the dagger. I'd be indebted with your life.
• Fiama Nera member: These doors are waiting for the right one. The right time to arrive. And then the dagger's blade will honor the hearts of those who believe. So, unless you pledge your loyalty as well...
• Lara: And which one is that?
• Fiama Nera member: To the sins and fortunes of Marco Bartoli!

[He drinks some poison and dies]

• Lara: Perhaps not just yet then.

[looks into the laptop for information]

• Lara: Aha! Gianni Bartoli. Via Caravelli, Venice.

• Chan Barkhang: Oh, you are not one of them.
• Lara: But you are a monk?
• Chan Barkhang: Brother Chan Barkhang. You have come for me. I saw bright lights around me.
• Lara: That was gunfire. I think it was them who got carried away by it.

• Lara: Don't you think you've seen enough!? [picks up shotgun and fires]

Tomb Raider III: Adventures of Lara Croft

• Lara: So, how did it end up here?
• Willard: Formed from the planets. Sculpted by Polynesians. Distributed by goons. Our excavations and investigations have led us to this. (hands her a large book) A sailor’s diary from his voyage on Charles Darwin’s expedition on the HMS Beagle.

• Lara: Hello?... Hello?

[Tony appears from inside a tent]

• Tony: What? What do you want from me now?!
• Lara: Nothing that taxing. Are you alright?
• Tony: If you’d all stop, I might be just fine. Just one hundred percent...just...
• Lara: "If you’d all stop?" Who are you talking about?
• Tony: All of you. Hundreds of you talking and chattering and breaking my brain up...
• Lara: Hmm. Well, I’m not quite sure where you’re coming from, but I just want to know about the Infada artifact.

[Shows the ruins behind]

• Lara: In the temple up there.
• Tony: Voodoo magic and all, huh? I don’t touch the stuff myself.
• Lara: It’s not voodoo. Look, is there anyone else here with you?
• Tony: Yeah. Randy and Rory. Pheesh...
• Lara: Randy and Rory? Where? What are you all doing here?
• Tony: Well, they’re staying put...in that temple. I told them not to. Warned them first. Not doing much now I doubt... under half a ton of mudslide. Me? I’m leaving. Next bus out. This jungle has rooted enough rot into me. I'd offer the same advice to you, but you don't seem like the type to take it...to care if I said you’re gonna die in there. [laughs] Yeah...die...

[Tony jumps of a ledge and disappears]

• Lara : Not interrupting, am I?
• General: Not bleedin' are ya? Not about to use this place as a dunny?
• Lara : No and uh...no.

• Hired assassin: I mean, I could even be retired from you.
• Lara: Then you might like to mind...the bell.

[The assassin turns around, but is knocked off the ledge by the tower bell]

• Lara:[watches him fall down] Happy retirement.

• Sophia: Ah, Miss Croft. I take it you’re ready to sign up.
• Lara: To what?
• Sophia: Well, my books. You see, with your lifestyle, you’d be the perfect campaign for my products. Just think, you wouldn’t be needing those unsightly weapons anymore...
• Lara: No, but I’ll probably have an unsightly face, judging by your past experiments.
• Sophia: My what?
• Lara: Oh, yes. They’re all still alive. Very much so, in fact. All I want is the artifact.

[Lara reaches for it, but Sophia takes the artefact first]

• Sophia: [laughs] Right! In your next life!
• Lara: We’ll see.

• Tribesman: Tis well fa you. Me fasting dis day. You make plenty good flesh-pot.
• Lara: You forget. I might be quite hungry myself. Famished actually.

• Larson: Aw, he's around. You got the cash?
• Lara: I've got the cash, but I don't deal with the monkey.
• Larson: Well now, that ain't polite for a lady...even if the monkey has the Mercury Stone?

[Larson,after shooting at Lara from above a roof is stopped by Pierre at the last second]

• Larson: What?!
• Pierre: Idiot... idiot! What does the cowboy achieve with this mindless firing?
• Larson: Ain't mindless.. ain't we tryin' to kill'er anymore then?
• Pierre: You were kicked in the head by a horse, oui? So the brain doesn't work correctly...
• Larson: How'd you know about that?
• Pierre: Never mind, never mind... We'll wait 'till she collects the other pieces, it this fashion we have both prizes at no extra efforts.
• Larson: You is one clever cookie, boss.
• Pierre: Comparatively, yes. Now, let's get off this roof, and I will buy you a milkshake.

• Zip: Ok Miss Croft, I'm presuming, by the lack of communication that you're at Industries building, right? Containing our little prize- the Iris?

[Lara talks through her headset]

• Lara: Affirmative.
• Zip: Right! Now this is what you're good at, yeah? Time to switch roofs.
• Lara: Switch roofs? Easy to say from the ground floor. Wouldn't you agree?
• Zip: C'mon now! Stiff upper lip! Top hole and all that! Time to get hip with Zip!
• Lara: Gone.

[Lara hang-glides to the roof of the next building, but the flight is disturbed by strong wind. She starts to loose control but soon regains it. Zip hears a high-pitch sound in his headset]

• Zip: Yow! Jimi Hendrix is back! Lara? You there, Lara? Croft, are you gettin' this?
• Lara: Fly me.
• Zip: Geez, now that was a blast! What the hell happened?
• Lara: Never mind Yankee, I'm going in.

• Zip: Lara are you there? Lara? Lara! You broke? You ain't dead, is ya? C'mon girl, answer me!
• Lara: Gonna be sore in the morning...
• Zip: I knew you was too tough for a fall like that.
• Lara: I'm on the ground floor, aren't I?
• Zip: Bing! Ground floor: depart here for gun-toting refrigerator men and long walk back upstairs. Sorry girl, you got it, but hell, you in one piece, ain't ya?

[Lara starts coughing]

• Lara: Never felt better.

• Bouchard: My driver will. Get it.

[They both climb in the car]

• Lara: What were you doing at the Louvre?
