Chapter: The Goodbye Song - Scene 13
“I don’t like it anymore than you do but it’s the only option we have open right now.”
Ten minutes ago when he decided to tell Olivia about his assumptions about the bullet in her leg being a transmitter to aid Ocelot, he never guessed he’d end up the makeshift surgeon to remove it. He pleaded with her to give him time—to let him spend the next few days racking his brain and draining every resource he knows of to figure out a way to disable it so that she could live but she knows the dangers of waiting and wouldn’t hear of it. And now, he hears his own words—his own stupid words—repeated back to him. The worst part is that she’s right and they both know it but she’s the only one that accepts it as her fate. He feels her staring at him, waiting for an answer to come across his lips. The only thing he can do is remove his glasses and cover his eyes when he feels the familiar sting of tears rushing to them. She doesn’t want to see him cry and he doesn’t want to do it in front of her. She wants an answer to her impossible request: Will you kill me?
Solid Snake - Kamran Nikhad
Olivia Steele - Zellie Berraine
Hal “Otacon” Emmerich - Sean Chiplock
Trivia
- All that stuff about removing the bullet rupturing an artery…probably complete crap. I’m sure medically, it’s either impossible or implausible.
- In the story version, Olivia didn’t have to try as hard to get Otacon to do the surgery. I think in my rewrite of this, I realized it would take a lot more convincing to make someone like Otacon purposefully kill someone no matter how necessary it seemed.
- This is one of the most edited scenes in the history of this story. The events and ending changed a lot over time and since this is a pretty vital scene that expresses what Otacon thinks is going on, I had to come back MANY times and edit certain things him and Olivia said.
