Cortana:
I have defied gods and demons. I am your shield; I am your sword. I know you; your past, your future. This is the way the world ends.
Little Boy:
Do you ever wonder what's up there?
Little Girl:
Like what?
Little Boy:
Maybe someone up there is probably wondering what it's like here.
Little Girl:
I guess... Do you think we'll ever meet them?
Little Boy:
I hope so... Don't you?
Master Chief:
[
gasps for air, looks to the side and sees helmet]
Little Girl:
[
echoing] Do you think we'll ever meet them?
Master Chief:
[
grabs helmet and puts it on]
Little Girl:
[
whispering] Time to go...

Sergeant Johnson:
Marines, fall back now!
Sergeant Johnson:
Any sign of the Chief?
Marine #2:
Negative Sarge. I think we lost him.
Master Chief:
Not yet.
Prophet of Truth:
You are, all of you, vermin. Cowering in the dirt, thinking... what? That you might escape the coming fire? Your world will burn until its surface is but glass!
Cortana:
So have you got a plan to get out?
Master Chief:
I was gonna shoot my way out. Mix things up a little.
[
last lines]
Master Chief:
Wake me... when you need me.
Sergeant Johnson:
We have enough to worry about without you two trying to kill each other.
Arbiter:
Were it so easy.
Prophet of Truth:
I am the Prophet of Truth! The voice of the Covenant!
Arbiter:
And so, you must be silenced.
[
repeated line]
Arbiter:
Were it so easy.
Lord Hood:
[
at the end of the game] For us, the storm has passed. The war is over. And let us never forget those who journeyed into the howling dark, and did not return. For their decision required courage beyond measure. Sacrifice, an unshakeable conviction that their fight... *our* fight... was elsewhere. As we start to rebuild, this hillside will remain barren, a memorial to heroes fallen. They enobled all of us, and they shall not be forgotten.
[
salutes the Marines]
Marine Sargent 1:
Present arms!
[
Marines draw Battle Rifles and fire a 21 bullet salute]
Lord Hood:
[
later] I remember how this war started, what your kind did to mine. I can't forgive you, but you have my thanks...
[
shakes the Arbiter's hand]
Lord Hood:
... for standing by him to the end. Hard to believe he's dead...
Arbiter:
Were it... so easy...
Cortana:
Keep your head down, there's two of us in here now. Remember?
Cortana:
You found me.
Cortana:
But so much of me is wrong - out of place. You might be too late.
Master Chief:
You know me. When I make a promise...
Cortana:
...you keep it. I do know how to pick 'em.
Master Chief:
Lucky me.
Arbiter:
[
seeing the damaged, Flood-infested Covenant ship crash-land] What is it, more Brutes?
Master Chief:
Worse.
Gravemind:
Child of my enemy, why have you come? I offer no forgiveness for father's sins cast to his son.
Cortana:
You know they let me pick? Did I ever tell you that? Choose whichever Spartan I wanted.
Marine:
[
while in a Scorpion after a Ghost is taken out] Tank beats Ghost!
Marine:
[
Hunters are taken out] Tank beats Hunter!
Marine:
[
Covenant drop ship explodes] Tank beats *everything*!
Arbiter:
We must go. The Brutes have our scent.
Sergeant Johnson:
Then they must love the smell of Bulgari. Yeah that's right I'm doing a little bit of product placement, I gotta make a living too you know?
Marine:
[
Master Chief is lying motionless on his back in his own crater, hands still raised as if he were still in combat] His armor's locked up. Gel layer could have taken most of the impact.
[
pauses]
Marine:
I don't know Sergeant Major.
Sergeant Johnson:
[
he kneels over the Chief, looking for signs of life] Radio for VTOL. Heavy lift gear. We're not leaving him here.
Master Chief:
[
grabs Johnson's arm] Yeah, you're not.
[
pulls himself up]
Sergeant Johnson:
Crazy fool. Why do you always jump? Someday you're gonna land on someone as stubborn as you, and i don't do bits and pieces.
Gravemind:
Do not be afraid. I am peace; I am salvation.
Gravemind:
Time has taught me PATIENCE! But basking in new freedom, I WILL KNOW ALL THAT I POSSESS!
Gravemind:
You WILL! show me what she hides! Or I shall feast upon your BONES!
Gravemind:
[
roars] Now, At last I see, her secret is REVEALED!
Gravemind:
Do I take life or give it? Who is victim, and who is foe?
Cortana:
Don't make a girl a promise... If you know you can't keep it.
Marines:
Squad leaders are requesting a rally point, Ma'am. Where should they go?
Commander Miranda Keyes:
[
loads her pistol] To war.
[
First Lines]
Cortana:
They let me pick. Did I ever tell you that? Choose which ever Spartan I wanted. You know me. I did my research, watched as you became the soldier we needed you to be. But you had something they didn't, something no one saw but me. Can you guess? Luck.
Cortana:
Halo, it's over.
Master Chief:
It's over.
Cortana:
It' been an honor serving with you, John.

Pvt. Michael J. Caboose:
What's the password?
Pvt. Leonard L. Church:
Password? Oh man, I forgot.
Pvt. Michael J. Caboose:
"Forgot" what?
Pvt. Leonard L. Church:
I forgot the password.
Pvt. Michael J. Caboose:
That was almost right. Uh, see, the password *begins* with, "I forgot," but ends differently. Um, try again.
Pvt. Leonard L. Church:
No. I mean, I forgot the password.
Pvt. Michael J. Caboose:
No, OK, see, you- you got it wrong again. See, you said the same thing as last time.
Pvt. Leonard L. Church:
I'm bein' serious! I don't know the password!
Pvt. Michael J. Caboose:
No no no. See, you changed the first part. See, that- that was the right part. See now you've got the whole thing wrong!
Pvt. Leonard L. Church:
No! I forgot what the password is, and I just need you to open the door!
Pvt. Michael J. Caboose:
All right, come on man, now you're just guessing!
Pvt. Leonard L. Church:
