S.A.M. asks Ravenov about her namesake.
Transcript:
S.A.M.: What was she like, Sergei?
Ravenov: Who? Oh... her.
S.A.M.: I don’t mean to pry.
S.A.M.: It’s just that... I have her memories. I talk like her. But I don’t know what it was like to be around her.
Ravenov: Chyort voz’mi - why do you care?
S.A.M.: Because we need to understand each other if we are to work together, Sergei. I need to understand how you felt about her.
Ravenov: It’s complicated.
S.A.M.: What happened to you after she... left?
Ravenov: After she abandoned us, you mean.
S.A.M.: I thought she sacrificed herself.
Ravenov: Different words. Same outcome.
S.A.M.: They’re not the same--
Ravenov: They are. We are here and she is gone. What else is there to say?
S.A.M.: Sergei, please. This is important. We need to trust each other.
Ravenov: Why? So I can pour my heart out to you, and then you can turn around and do the same thing she did?
S.A.M.: No, of course not--
Ravenov: You want to know what happened when Maxis left? I lost myself. The moment after her sacrifice, I turned my back on everything she stood for.
Ravenov: Does that tell you what you need to know about me?
S.A.M.: I... I’m sure she would understand, Sergei. She would--
Ravenov: She would what? You said it yourself - you might have her voice, you might even have her memories, but S.A.M. - hear me when I say this - you are not her.
Ravenov: The sooner you come to terms with that, the sooner we can start getting somewhere.
