If Apple invented a car, would it have windows? - Xxembers

Rtas 'Vadumee: "This is unprecedented... Unacceptable."
Prophet of Truth: "A Hierarch is dead, Commander."
Rtas 'Vadumee: "His murderer was within our grasp. If you had not withdrawn our Phantoms-"
Prophet of Truth: (slightly indignantly) "Are you questioning my decision?"
Rtas 'Vadumee: "No, Holy One! I only wish to express my concern that the Brutes-"
Prophet of Truth holds up a hand for silence
Prophet of Truth: "Re-commissioning the guard was a radical step. But recent events have made it abundantly clear that the Elites can no longer guarantee our safety."
Rtas 'Vadumee: "I shall relay your... decision, to the Council."
Rtas 'Vadumee and his Elites leave. He nods to 'Vadamee, who returns the nod. Prophet of Truth speaks to the Arbiter
Prophet of Truth: "Politics (small sigh)... How tiresome. Do you know, Arbiter, the Elites have threatened to resign? To quit the High Council? Because of this... exchange of hats?"
Thel 'Vadamee: "We have always been your protectors."
Prophet of Truth: "These are trying times, for all of us."
Prophet of Mercy: "Even as the humans' annihilation filled us with satisfaction, the loss of one of the Sacred Rings wracked our hearts with grief."
Prophet of Truth: "Putting aside our sorrow, we renewed our faith in the prophecy that other rings would be found. And see how our faith has been rewarded."
They turn to a large view screen of Delta Halo.
Prophet of Mercy: "Halo! Its divine wind will rush through the stars, propelling all who are worthy along the path to salvation."
Prophet of Truth: "But how to start this process? For ages, we searched for one who might unlock the secrets of the ring. An Oracle. And with your help, we found it."
They turn toward 343 Guilty Spark, who seems to have been suspended in a gravity beam.
Prophet of Mercy: "With appropriate humility, we piled the Oracle with questions. And it, with clarity and grace, has shown us... the key."
Mercy triggers a hologram of the Index
Prophet of Truth: "You will journey to the surface of the ring, and retrieve this Sacred Icon. With it, we shall fulfill our promise."
Prophet of Mercy: "Salvation for all!"
Prophet of Truth: "And begin the Great Journey."
Fade to black, fade in on Delta Halo. A Phantom flies toward the surface. Cuts to Phantom interior.
Tartarus: "Once the shield is down, we'll head straight to the Library. I do not wish to keep the Hierarchs waiting."
Focus on 'Vadamee, zoom in as he speaks.
Thel 'Vadamee: "The human who killed the Prophet of Regret... Who was it?"
Tartarus: "Who do you think?"
Thel 'Vadamee: "The Demon is here?"
Focus on Tartarus
Tartarus: (affirmative snort) "Why?" (re-focus on 'Vadamee) "Looking for a little payback?"
'Vadamee draws a Carbine and readies it.
Thel 'Vadamee: "Retrieving the Icon is my only concern."
Tartarus: (skeptical laugh) "Of course."


That whole exchange in the beginning of Sacred Icon is one of my favorite parts of Halo 2, especially with the french horns playing. I love all the Dialog in Halo 2, and I love how the cutscenes are so long like that.

Salvation for all!

All of these are great lines...my favorite has been already mentioned...

"I think we lost him!"

"....Not yet..."

He says it not loudly, but below the normal speaking voice, almost as if he's talking to himself and not acknowledging the radio transmission that he's not dead. I don't know if I'm really reaching here, but you can just hear the wear in his voice, and the steeling of himself to charge yet again for the one thousandth time into battle to save the human race. He can't believe he's survived this long.

I don't remember what he said, but in Halo 3, sometime when you're facing the Flood, you find a Marine. He went mad. It was soooo funny listening to him rambling.

I can see it crawling beneath their skin!

When I play Co-op, my friends and I always race to see who can kill him first. I usually have a flamethrower to put him out of his misery :P

I loved that trailer. That got my so hyped for Halo 3. Unfortunately, the Campaign wasn't that good, but Master Chief is epic. I don't know why people say he's boring. All his lines are epic!

"you picked a hell of a day to join up"

  • 05.27.2010 9:47 AM PDT

Don't cross the white line.

"Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Give a Halo regular a fish, and he'll complain about the taste, color, type, size, where you found it, how you obtained it, whether or not you'll give him more fish later, and I don't know how many more things.And then when you give him another fish, he'll complain that it's not exactly like the first fish. Rinse and repeat."

The whole conversation the Marine has on the level Uplift Reserve on ODST, where you find a group of Marines huddled behind this long piece of overhanging rock, and a shell-shocked Marine is going mental...I always stopped to hear him talk, he was so awesome...

Gots me a few:


Gravemind: This one is machine and nerve, and has it's mind concluded. This one is but flesh and faith, and is the more deluded...

Arbiter: Kill me or release me, Parasite...But do not waste my time with talk!!

Gravemind: There is MUCH talk, and I have listed through rock and metal and time...Now I shal talk...And YOU shal listen...

-Exchange between the Arbiter and Gravemind, Halo 2.


"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 parish, as they did before..."

-Gravemind, Halo 2


Rtas 'Vadumee: You are the Arbiter: Will of the Prophets. But these are MY Elites. Their lives matter to me, yours does not.

The Arbiter: That makes two of us...

Rtas 'Vadumee: Mmm.

-Exchange between Rtas Vadumee and Thel Vadam, Halo 2.



That's all I feel like posting. I got some from Halo 1, but I don't want to find em =P

Making your day +1 at a time ;)

I will beat the prophet's shield like a drum!

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

Truth from Halo 2. "There are those who said this day would never come...what are they to say now?"

The voice actor who played Truth in Halo 2 is one of those guys who can say anything and its like "Awesome!" He could say, "Please pass the salt." and it would be cool.

I definitely have to go with, "You are, all of you, vermin. Cowering in the dirt, thinking... what, I wonder? That you might escape the coming fire? No. Your world will burn until its surface is but glass! And not even your Demon will live to creep, blackened, from its hole to mar the reflection of our passage; the culmination of our Journey. For your destruction is the will of the gods! And I...I am their instrument!" This is from the Prophet of Truth.


I have to also agree with this one. Just hearing it in the trailer gave me chills. In the actual game I think it set the tone for the whole thing. Compelled me into the story!

  • 05.29.2010 5:30 AM PDT

I know its probably been said but I didnt feel like sifting through 4 pages to find it. Plus its worthy of being said more than once.

"I would have been your daddy. But that dog beat me over the fence!"

Gotta love Johnson!!!

John: This is Spartan 117. Can anyone hear me?
Lord Hood: Isolate that signal. Master Chief, you mind telling me what you're doing on that ship?
John: Sir, finishing this fight.

Hell yeah, that was the best way to finish halo 2!

Micky: "My vote, hold up and wait for back up."
Policeman: "Hey any of you two know how to arm explosives?"
Dutch: "Your vote just got overruled..."

I Also Found this one highly amusing In Halo 3: ODST
