About

Soap Trusted You refers to a scene in the videogame Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 where Captain Price confronts the player character, who he just punched down a flight of stairs, and points a gun at his head, saying, "Soap trusted you. I thought I could too. So, why in bloody hell, does Makarov know you?" The scene became the subject of remixes and edits around 2018 due to the comical way in which the dialog rhymes.
