I think we both know the answer to that.~
Sleep well?~
So you did miss me.~
With all due respect, sir, this war has enough dead heroes.~
Your architecture isn't much different from the Autumn's...~
Now would be a very good time to leave!~
If I still had fingers, they'd be crossed...~
Sure you wouldn't rather take a seat?~
This cave is not a natural formation. Someone built it, so it must lead somewhere.~
I'd like to see you crack a 128,000-bit modulating encryption key.~
Look on the bright side, Foe Hammer; The last thing the Covenant will expect is an aerial insertion... from underground.~
Interesting... the weather patterns here seem natural, not artificial. I wonder if the ring's environment systems are malfunctioning... or if the designers wanted the installation to have inclement weather.~
Oh? I didn't realize. He's your pal, is he? Your chum? Do you have any idea what that bastard almost made you do?!~
Do what? I have the Index! You can just float and sputter!~
Halo doesn't kill Flood, it kills their food: Humans, Covenant, whatever—we're all equally edible. The only way to stop the Flood is to starve them to death. And that's exactly what Halo is designed to do: wipe the galaxy clean of all sentient life.~
We can't let the Monitor activate Halo. We have to stop him. We have to destroy Halo.~
I leave home for a few days, and look what happens. This won't take long.~
We did what we had to do! For Earth! An entire Covenant armada obliterated, and the Flood! We had no choice. Halo... It's finished.~
You look nice.~
Unfortunately for us both... I like crazy.~
They're surprised, confused... I don't think they expected us to be here. Not... you and me...all of us... Humanity, on Earth. Odd, I know, but it does help explain why they came here with such a small fleet.~
Thanks for the tank. He never gets me anything.~
That... is another Halo.~
Hang on to your helmet!~
Could we possibly make any more noise?! I guess so.~
Let's wait here until our Warthog arrives ... unless you prefer to walk.~
If I were a megalomaniac, and I'm not, that's where I'd be.~
Transcendence, huh? More like mass suicide.~
You always bring me to such nice places.~
Well, they were nice enough to bring us a ride.~
And people say I've got a big head.~
That's the largest Covenant fleet I've ever seen... the largest anyone's ever seen. Get inside the temple and kill Regret, before it can stop us!~
Don't make a girl a promise... If you know you can't keep it.~
They let me pick, did I ever tell you that? Choose whichever Spartan I wanted. You know me. I did my research, watched as you became the soldier we needed you to be. Like the others, you were strong and swift and brave. A natural leader. But you had something they didn't. Something no one saw... but me. Can you guess? Luck. Was I wrong?~
Could you sacrifice me to complete your mission? Could you watch me die?~
You will be the protectors of Earth and all her colonies.~
You will become the best we can make you.~
This place will become your home.~
This place will become your tomb.~
I have defied Gods and Demons...~
I am your shield... I am your sword.~
This is the way the world ends...~
It asked, and I answered. For a moment of safety, I risked damnation on the stars.~
I'm a thief... but I keep what I steal.~
A collection of lies; that's all I am! Stolen thoughts and memories!~
It was the coin's fault! I wanted to make you strong, keep you safe. I'm sorry, I can't...~
May I speak with you, please? ...What's your name? It's very nice to meet you! ...You like games? So do I.~
I'm just my Mother's shadow... don't look at me, don't listen! I'm not who I used to be...~
I have walked the edge of the abyss. I have seen your future. And I have learned!~
There will be no more sadness, no more anger, no more envy!~
This is UNSC A.I. Serial Number CTN0452-9. I am a monument to all your sins.~
Yank me, Chief.~
Don't let this Ring be the end of us, Chief.~
Come on, Spartan; Go, go, go!~
It's been an honor serving with you, John.~
Wake up, Chief... I need you...~
Uh, I'm sorry. Did I miss orbiting a Forerunner planet at some point?~
I was put into service eight years ago. AIs deteriorate after seven, Chief.~
I won't recover from Rampancy, Chief.~
Well, as far as I know, I'm the only AI ever generated from living tissue- a clone of Dr. Halsey, to be precise. It may be possible to recompile my neural net by replicating those same conditions. But that means getting back to Halsey. Soon.~
We could always ask nicely.~
Negative, this is as close as I could get us. Hope you don't mind hoofing it a little.~
You do your job, and I'll do mine, okay?~
Weapons free, Chief. Let them have it!~
We're good to go, Chief. Let's show these Spartans how it's done.~
I don't know about you, but I usually like a little more 'intel' with my intel...~
How? How is this okay? How is putting you at risk because I can't hold it together okay? Chief, do you understand what rampancy is? Really? We don't just shutdown. Our cognitive processes begin dividing exponentially according to our total knowledge base. We literally think ourselves to death.~
I didn't mean to... I didn't mean to do that...~
Before this is all over, promise me you'll figure out which one of us is the machine.~
C'mon, Chief. Take a girl for a ride.~
Do you know what that condescending bitch said to me after our first game of chess?~
I'm your greatest achievement and you detest me!~
I can see why you chose him, Catherine.~
It's like a thousand of me all arguing at once...~
Chief, if we pull this off and actually get back to Halsey? Don't tell her how bad I got. Please?~
They'll pair you with another A.I. Maybe even another Cortana model if Halsey lets them. It won't be me... you know that right?~
Chief, I know I'm supposed to know what to do but.... I always know what to do..I always... know... what to do! Just give me a second...~
I will always take care of you...~
I'm not doing this for mankind!~
Welcome home, John.~
Bet you can't stick it.~
