Snake Eyes not mute, just doesn't have much to say.
"I dunno...I mean, with this never-ending war, who really cares what I have to say?
I have an important job: blasting robots but narrowly missing my human enemy targets.
Who has time for small talk?"
"He says that, but I think there's something else going on inside...something deeper." says friend and superior Flint.
"He's been through alot, you know. Back in '84, Dusty organized a surprise party for Snake Eyes, but he sensed intruders
and slaughtered everyone in the cabin before realizing there was cake. I'm just lucky I was being severly beaten by
Destro at the time, or I'd be duck nibblets."
"I think most people just don't understand him." says Roadblock, a
long-time friend of Snake Eyes who curiously always has grenades strapped to his vest. "Once about...oh, I dunno,
5 or 6 years ago, we got this new recruit in who had a deaf sister. So, since Snake isn't talking, this guy just
assumes that he's deaf and knows sign language. So this recruit starts signing, and Snake just walks away.
But during the night, Snake infiltrated the newly enlisted sleeping quarters and amputated the recruit's limbs.
When the kid woke up, the first thing he saw was a note that said 'Try signing now, mother******'. Yeah, it was
kinda twisted, but you couldn't help but laugh."
"What people don't realize, is that in most situations, as long
as you don't make any sudden moves or look at at him while he's wearing his sister's dresses, he might not kill you."
"When asked about how long the G.I. Joe - Cobra war would go on, Snake Eyes responds: "Look, I'm part of an elite force.
In fact, without trying to sound pompous, I'm probably the best special forces has to offer...but until someone is
actually hit by enemy fire, this war will never end. How long has it been? 30? 40? 50 years? I can't even remember.
And the weird thing? I'm still 32."
