...how are you "Russian sometimes"?

Sometimes, people just turn Russian. Not much more to say on that.

A lot of times, people also turn French, and then they apologize for it.

Ocelot is a spy with a lot of different identities, so maybe he's Russian, but maybe he's not.
His father was Russian and his mother was American. He was either raised in the US or in Soviet Russia, depending on what backstory you believe. He did end up joining the Spetsnaz GRU at some point (after defecting if he was raised in the US), but he was a triple agent working for the CIA and the KGB. So, uh… Yeah. Russian Sometimes.

"Does that make sense?"

I actually looked up what side of the brain handles language when the game first came out and it's the other side so that line is really funny to me. Especially considering the rest of the game.

Good joke, 10/10. You avoid an angry e-mail about plot points today, Katie.

Yeah....I thought that was pretty weird.

"You need a translator"
".....aren't you Russian Ocelot? I distinctly remember talking to you in Russian."

Remember though, he wants to be like Snake, he secretly stabbed that side of his brain too.
Even with those Very Important Plot Points, appearances must be kept up.

To be fair, interpreting IS very different from translating. Interpreting is real time and requires the interpreter to have in-depth knowledge of what's being discussed, expressions that may not translate over well or not have equivalents etc.

Which is why Ocelot commenting that the intel is pretty good and not even giving the gist of it is so funny. This intel Snake, it's so good. You don't even know.

What makes a man turn Russian? Lust for Gold? Power? Or were you just born with a heart for Russianess?
