Mortal Kombat 1 (2023 Video Game)
Susan Eisenberg: Ashrah
Quotes
-
Ashrah : So you were once married?
Johnny Cage : Amazing anyone would let me go, right?
-
Ashrah : Conquest is inherently evil.
General Shao : How can a demon be so naive?
-
Ashrah : Your father's soul resides in the Netherrealm.
General Shao : Impossible. He died with honor.
-
Ashrah : I couldn't believe that Liu Kang welcomed me in Earthrealm. Or that he thought me worthy to study with his Shaolin masters. After a lifetime of wishing for one, I finally had a home. But my joy was tempered as I thought about Sareena... My Shadow Sister was still under Quan Chi's yoke. And she deserved a life free of him as much, if not more, than I. Quan Chi and my other sisters proved tenacious, but they were no match for my blade. I snatched Sareena from them. Then Liu Kang helped me break Quan Chi's spell. Her mind free of his influence for the first time in years, Sareen chose to join me in Earthrealm. My sister and I once again fight side by side. Only now we do so for Earthrealm. Together, we have formed the Order of Light.
-
Ashrah : The sorcerers made you their stooge.
General Shao : And for that, both will pay.
-
Ashrah : You fixed a sickly body, but not your sickly heart.
General Shao : Your judgement holds no water, Ashrah.

Ashrah : I am no longer under his spell.
-
Johnny Cage : I love redemption stories.
Ashrah : Yet mine is not for sale.
-
Johnny Cage : It's hard to believe there's a demon inside there.
Ashrah : My true face would horrify you, Cage.
-
Johnny Cage : C'mon, a tour would really help my story research.
Ashrah : No living creature should visit the Netherrealm.
-
Johnny Cage : Your kriss would look outstanding on my mantel.
Ashrah : I could never part with Datusha.
-
Ashrah : I will fight without fail until I am absolved.
Johnny Cage : You are truly a wonder, woman.
-
Ashrah : You can't possibly explain away your evil.

[Custom AI Intros]
Ashrah : Why do you keep saying the same three words over and over again, Johnny?
Johnny Cage : I am Groot.
-
Peacemaker : You're a demon. How aren't you evil?
Ashrah : Because I am the sum of my choices.
-
Shang Tsung : I'm hosting a tournament. You should come.
Ashrah : Not on your life.
-
[Kriss reacting]
Ashrah : Quan Chi is close. The emanations of his evil grow stronger.
Baraka : That is a powerful weapon.
Ashrah : And my perfect ally. As I smite the evil it finds, I am further purified.
Johnny Cage : Now I've down steps, so I'm all for self-help. But since when does a demoness want to be less evil?
Ashrah : I had spent eternity damned to the Netherrealm. I had assumed that's all there was to existence. But when I saw Earthrealm, saw Outworld. Saw there was a better way to live. And that to have it, I needed to cleanse my soul. My sister demons were furious at my change of heart. Kia and Jataaka were the first to hunt me.
Reptile : Quan Chi is also a demon?
Ashrah : Actually, he's an Outworlder. But he mastered the dark magic needed for unfettered travel to my realm.
[insect buzzing. Reptile's tongue snaps. Crunching sounds]
Johnny Cage : Any idea how he buddled up with Shang Tsung?
Ashrah : They share a common benefactor. She plucked them both from obscurity, taught them everything they know. I've never met her, but there's no question that she is a sorcererss beyond compare.
[Kriss reacting]
Ashrah : Quan Chi is near.
Quan Chi : I am ready for your contributions. Execellent, Nitara. I need yours as well.
Havik : Darrius and I have been thinking, sorcerer...
Quan Chi : Do not try to renegotiate, Havik.
Havik : We need proof that you'll deliver.
Sareena : That he's delivered for Nitara's Vaeternians is all the proof you need.
Nitara : Sareena's right. But of Quan Chi's magic, my realm's people are no longer poisoned by sunlight. We have finally escaped the shadows.
Quan Chi : Rest assured. The spells you will receive will bring down Orderrealm's government.
Havik : When will we have them, Quan Chi?
Quan Chi : After the attack on Earthrealm... which could be called off if the soul stealer's efficacy isn't demonstrated promptly.
[Quan Chi chanting in the distance]
Johnny Cage : Well this plot just got thicker.
Ashrah : Earthrealm is in grave danger. Just one soul stealer can kill hundreds of thousands. If he unleashes a battery of them...
Baraka : Millions will die.
Kung Lao : He must be stopped.
Ashrah : I will deal with Quan Chi. The four of you subdue the others.
Johnny Cage : Whoa there, big fella. This stop's where you get off.
Kenshi : You heard her! Millions could die.

[Custom AI Intro Dialogues from Chai Tea]
Reptile : Is it true that female demons have teeth in Their-uh-lady parts?
Ashrah : What nonsensical drivel is Johnny telling you now?
[CLASH]
Sareena : Soooooo... Should we tell him?
Ashrah : I'd rather we don't.
Jax Briggs : Some things are better left unsaid.
Reptile : Please tell me!
-
Peacemaker : I've never locked horns with a demon.
Ashrah : Then there's no way you win this fight.

[Custom AI Dialogues from CrimsonKnight]
Ashrah : Stay away from my man.
Scorpion : Are you homosexual?
Sindel : Don't even think about talking to my sexy Liu.
Liu Kang : I'm not hers but do stay way from me.
Shang Tsung : Why does everyone think I'm gay?
Sub-Zero : Try looking in the fucking mirror!
-
[Custom AI Dialogues from Chhai Tea]
Ashrah : Nitara turned both of us into bloodthirsty, undead creatures.
Reptile : Doesn't mean we can't continue having fun, Ashrah.
[CLASH]
Stryker : Wait, wouldn't that be necrophilia?
Reptile : SHE AND I ARE ALREADY DEAD!
Sonya Blade : So you're an undead, bloodthirsty demon?
Ashrah : Yeah, pretty much.
