Colonel: Raiden, turn the game console off right now. Raiden: What did you say? Colonel: The mission is a failure. Cut the power right now. Raiden: What’s wrong with you? Colonel: Don’t worry, it’s a game. It’s a game just like usual. Rosemary: You’ll ruin your eyes playing so close to the TV. Raiden: What are you talking about? Colonel: Raiden.
