The edited image used in the rip.
Instead of the thumbnail, the rip uses the "Metal Gear Soid 2" edit first seen in the rip "Yell "Dead Cell" (OST Version) - Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty".
At the beginning, the sounds of a city play in the background as the audio of a conversation between Jack Raiden and Rosemary from the advertised game plays.
Rosemary: Do you remember this place?
Jack: Of course! This is where we first met. I remember now!
Rosemary: Mm-hmm.
Jack: Today is the day I met you!
Rosemary: Hmm~ That's it!
At 0:22, the instrumental of the advertised track starts playing in the background and the conversation continues:
Jack: I think I found something to pass along to the future.
Rosemary: What?
Jack: He said, "All living things what their genes to live on".
Rosemary: Are you talking about the baby?
Jack: Yeah. The genes are the only thing you pass on. There are too many things that aren't written in our DNA. It's up to us to teach that to our children.
Rosemary: What kind of things?
Jack: About the environment, our ideas, our culture...
At 1:02, as Rosemary starts speaking, audio of a rapidly approaching plane plays in the background, followed by an explosion. People screaming and cars honking can then be heard as Jack screams "Nooooooo! Rose!" At 1:23, another conversation between Jack and Rose starts playing, with their voices echoed as the instrumental resumes in the background.
Rosemary: Jack, do you remember the day we met?
Jack: Yeah, it was in front of Federal Hall... There were all these tourists around you.
Rosemary: They were asking me which building it was that King Kong was climbing in the movie. I said it was probably the Chrysler Building. And then you showed up and started mouthing off. You were like, "No, it's the Empire State."
Jack: I said the Chrysler Building was in Godzilla.
Rosemary: We started arguing, and I forgot all about the tourists.
Jack: The next thing we knew, the tourists had gone away. And a week later, I found you again by coincidence out in the base corridor.
Rosemary: An amazing coincidence.
Jack: That night, we went up to the top of the Empire State Building.
Rosemary: It was so beautiful--
Jack: I didn't care anymore who was right.
Rosemary: And that was our first date.
Jack: We watched King Kong in your apartment a bunch of times that night. Didn't sleep till morning...
History[]
This rip was uploaded on SiIvaGunner on September 11, 2016, as part of the 9/11 2016 channel event. It was removed from the channel partway through the day and later reuploaded on Flustered Fernando, along with most other rips uploaded for the event. The Flustered Fernando reupload was titled "Can't Say Goodbye to Yesterday (Beta Mix) - Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty", likely because the rip's original title conflicted with that of another rip at that time.[2]
