----- was NEVER the real objective!

First belted out by the Dome at the food court at a local shopping mall. 
"Seizing Arsenal Gear was NEVER the real objective!" is a quote from Metal Gear Solid 2 that does a fine job summarizing the tone and feel of a Metal Gear game. Due to over-the-top voice acting, and some terribly translated dialogue, it became a somewhat iconic line from the series and was doubly funny when the Dome decided to use it in regular conversation.
This phrase has become something of a catch-all for when a Good Dude needs to show defiance in the face of an accusation. 
Truly, a dank meme from the pits of gaming, only to be used wisely and in the most decisive circumstances.
Mike: The Dome had purchased New York Fries to eat, and something had happened involving ketchup. Someone had put ketchup on his fries, he had put too much on, something like that. In response, he declared, "Just fries was NEVER the real objective!" We laughed for a number of consecutive minutes while Dome looked at us in disgust, wondering why we didn't understand that he was always that funny.
