[ Torture is something that comes with the job description, no doubt about that, but Ocelot had gotten a little too much enjoyment from it. He'd carried his skill as an interrogator like some badge of honor.

Ocelot seems to already realize that Snake and Miller are on the same "team," whatever that's worth. Alliances have always been made of pretty brittle stuff. Otacon's the only real partner that Snake's ever had. As far as he's concerned, Miller is one of his responsibilities. He can only do so much with his physical condition, and Snake sees it as his obligation to keep him out of harm's way. ]

I think you know better than anyone that someone's loyalty can shift on a dime. [ Said with a pointed look. ] If we ever work together, it'll only be out of necessity.

[ Snake will also be going to great effort to make sure that never happens, but it's not like he can account for everything.

Ocelot is good at what he does, there's no doubt about that. And he wants to get back home just like the rest of them, so he'll probably be a good resource. But that doesn't mean that Snake would ever rely on him for anything. ]
