machine, or a giant hula hoop, we're not gonna let 'em have it! What we will let 'em have is

"This is not your grave... but you are welcome in it." - Closing sentence, said on Regret.
"This one is machine and nerve, and has its mind concluded. This one is but flesh and
faith, and is the more deluded." - Said about the John-117 and then Thel 'Vadam,
respectively, on Gravemind.
"There is much talk, and I have listened, through rock and metal and time. Now I shall talk,
and you shall listen." - Said on Gravemind.
"This one's containment... (gestures to 2401 Penitent Tangent and growls and shudders a
bit)... and this one's Great Journey... (gestures to the Prophet of Regret)... are the same.
Your Prophets have promised you freedom from a doomed existence, but you will find no
salvation on this Ring. Those who built this place knew what they wrought. Do not mistake
their intent, or all will perish as they did before." - Said on Gravemind.
"If you will not hear the truth, then I will show it to you. There is still time to stop the key
from turning, but first, it must be found. (gestures to John-117) You will search one likely
spot... (gestures to Thel 'Vadam)... and you will search another. Fate had us meet as foes,
but this Ring will make us brothers." - Said on Gravemind.
"Arrogant creatures! Your deaths will be instantaneous, while we shall suffer the progress
of infinitude!" - Said on High Charity.
"We exist together now, two corpses in one grave..." - Said on High Charity.
"Silence fills the empty grave, now that I have gone. But my mind is not at rest, for
questions linger on. I will ask, and you will answer." - To Cortana, after Halo 2's credits.

"Lies for the weak! Beacons for the deluded!" - Said through the infected Prophet of
Truth on The Covenant.
"You will be food; nothing more..." - Said on The Covenant through the Prophet of Truth.
"Now the gate has been unlatched, headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer
room, a fate you must abide!" - Said on The Covenant.
"Child of my enemy, why have you come? I offer no forgiveness, a father's sins, passed to
his son." - Said on Cortana.
"Of course, you came for her. We exist together now, two corpses in one grave." - Said on
Cortana.
"Time... has taught me patience! But basking in new freedom, I will know all that I
possess!" - Said on Cortana.
"You will show me what she hides! Or I shall feast upon your BONES!" - Said on Cortana.
"(Flood Roar) Now... at last, I see.... Her secret is revealed!!" - Said on Cortana (referring

"Do I take life or give it? Who is victim, and who is foe?" - Said on Halo.

it up a little, you can hear some of the lines.

Someone has released the Flood. My function is to prevent it from leaving this Installation.
But I require your assistance. Come. This way."
The Library
"We must collect the Index before we can activate the installation."
"The energy field above us contains the Index. We must get up there."
"The security doors have sealed automatically. I will go access the override to open them."
"Please, follow closely. This portal is the first of ten." - When opening the first blast door.
"Puzzling. You brought such ineffective weapons to combat the Flood, despite the
containment protocols."
"The Flood must not escape the Installation. They would consume all."
"You can see how the body's been transformed by the genetic restructuring of the Flood
infection. The small creatures carry spores that cause a host to mutate. The mutated host
then produces spores that can pass the Flood to others. It is insidious and elegant. As
long as any hosts remain, the Flood is virulent."
"This installation's research facilities are most impressive! Perhaps we'll have time to see
them later."
"These Sentinels will supplement your combat system. But I suggest you upgrade to at
least a Class Twelve combat skin. Your current model only scans as a Class Two, which is
ill suited for this kind of work."
"Pardon me. A plasma conduit breach in Section 5-5-2-4 has disrupted power flow to a
gravity maintenance assembly. Repairs require my attention. I will return soon."
"Flood activity has caused a failure in a drone control subsystem. I must reset the backup
unit. Please, continue on. I will rejoin you when I have completed my task."
"The Sentinels can use their weapons to manage the Flood only for a short time. Speed is
of the essence."
"Your environment suit should serve you well when the Flood begins to alter the
atmosphere. You are a good planner."
"The installation was well-conceived. It is surely the only way to end the Flood threat."
"I would conjecture that the other species currently on the installation is responsible for
releasing the Flood. They seem most persistent in their attempts to access restricted
areas."
"Why naturally the Flood is simply too dangerous to release, and mass sterilization
protocols may again need to be enacted. Of course, samples were kept here after the last
catastrophic outbreak... for study. It seems... that decision may have been an error."
"The installation was specifically built to study and contain the Flood. Their survival as a
race was dependent upon it. I am grateful to see that some of them survived to
reproduce."
"The Flood are already hard at work repairing your vessel. Its parasitic nature belies the
Flood's intelligence." - In the fourth floor, by the next doors.
"The energy barrier surrounding the Index will deactivate when we reach the ground floor."
"Protocol requires that I take possession of the Index for transport. Your organic form
renders you vulnerable to infection. The Index must not fall into the hands of the Flood,
before we reach the Control Room and activate the installation."
Two Betrayals
"...which means that any organism of sufficient mass and cognitive capability is a potential
vector."
"More or less. Technically, this installation's pulse has a maximum effective radius of
twenty-five thousand light years. But, once the others follow suit, this galaxy will be quite
devoid of life, or at least any life with sufficient biomass to sustain the Flood. But you
already knew that... I mean, how couldn't you?" - After Cortana revealed Halo's purpose.
"We have followed outbreak containment procedure to the letter. You were with me each
step of the way, as we managed this crisis."
"Last time, you asked me, if it was my choice, would I do it? Having had considerable time
to ponder your query, my answer has not changed. "
"If you are unwilling to help, I will simply find another. Still, I must have the Index. Give
your construct to me, or I will be forced to take her from you." - To John-117.
"So be it. Save his head. Dispose of the rest." - To the Sentinels.
The Maw
"Ridiculous! That you would imbue your warship's AI with such a wealth of knowledge.
Wouldn't you worry that it might be captured? Or destroyed?" - To Master Chief after
reaching the bridge.
"You can't imagine how exciting this is! To have a record of all our lost time. Human
history, is it? Fascinating.
"Oh, how I will enjoy every moment of it's categorization. To think that you would destroy
this installation, as well as this record... I am shocked. Almost too shocked for words." While absorbing information from the Pillar of Autumn's computers.
"Why do you continue to fight us, Reclaimer? You cannot win! Give us the construct, and I
will endeavor to make your death relatively painless and" - After stopping the selfdestruct sequence.
Non-scripted/Situational
"STOP BEING HUMAN!" if you shoot him with a shotgun in the The Library (Halo CE & CE
Anniversary).

lost."

"It isn't one of ours, take it out." - When the Forerunner ship with the Master Chief aboard
jumped out ofslipspace, level The Great Journey.
Halo 3
"I'll initiate a low-level strike. Hit 'em right where it hurts. I only have a handful of ships,
Master Chief. It's a big risk. But I'm confident you-" - From the main view screen, just
before the power cuts.
"Music to my ears, Commander. What about the Ark?" - COM, to Miranda Keyes in the
level Tsavo Highway.
"Then we don't have much time. Marines... Truth doesn't know it yet, but he's about to get
kicked right off his throne. You will take our city back. And drive our enemy into the grave
they've been so happily digging. One final effort is all that remains." - COM, Tsavo
Highway.
"What did Truth just do?! Did he activate the rings?!" - When
the Forerunner Dreadnought went through thePortal.
"And you, Ship Master, just glassed half a continent! Maybe the Flood isn't all I should be
worried about." - To Rtas 'Vadum.
"She could be corrupted for all we know. Her "solution" could be a Flood trap." About Cortana.
"What we should do, Commander, is understand - clearly - that this is humanity's final
stand - here - at Earth. We go, we risk everything; every last man, woman, and child. If we
stand our ground, we might just have a chance." - To Miranda Keyes.
"Earth... is all we have left. You trust Cortana that much?" - To the Master Chief.
"This is either the best decision you've ever made or the worst. Hell if it is, Chief? I doubt
I'll live long enough to find out which."
"For us, the storm has passed. The war is over. But let us never forget those who
journeyed into the howling dark and did not return. For their decision required courage
beyond measure...sacrifice, and unshakable conviction that their fight; our fight, was
elsewhere. As we start to rebuild, this hillside will remain barren, a memorial to heroes
fallen. They ennobled all of us, and they shall not be forgotten." - Memorial speech, March
3 2553.
"I remember how this war started. What your kind did to mine. I can't forgive you.
But... you have my thanks, for standing by him to the end." - He holds out his hand,
the Arbiter shakes it.
Halo: Glasslands
"Peace treaties aren't brokered between two countries or negotiated between worlds. They
happen because two individuals can talk to one another. I can do business with the
Arbiter. And I believe he can do business with me."
"We cant forgive, and we can't forget. But there's a third option which isn't related to either.
It doesn't require us to be friends. We can simply both agree to stop killing each other."
