The most quotable character from the Halo games has got to be Sergeant A.J. Johnson.
From his rallying speech at the beginning of the Pillar of Autumn in Halo 1...
"Men, we led those dumb bugs out to the middle of nowhere to keep 'em from gettin' their filthy claws on Earth. But, now... we've stumbled onto something their so hot for that they're scramblin' over eachother to get it. Well I don't care if it's God's own anti-son-of-a--blam!--machine or a giant hula hoop, we aint gonna let 'em have it. What we will let 'em have is a belly full of lead and a pool/ of their own blood to drown in. Am I RIGHT marines!?"
To his motivational speech at the beginning of Metropolis in Halo 2...
"When I joined the Corps we didn't have any fancy schmancy tanks, we had sticks... two sticks and a rock for the whole platoon... and we had to share the rock. Buck up soldier you're one very lucky marine."
And his one-liners
"Don't shake the lightbulb..."
"Listen, you don't like me and I sure as hell don't like you..."
"Hey! Bastards! Knock knock!"
"How you doin'?"
What kind of situations and lines would you like to hear from the Master Motivator in Halo 3? Or barring that what are some of your favorites from the earlier games and books?
"Listen up men, there are three rules in war. Rule number one: young men die. Rule number two: you can't change rule number one. Rule number three: somebody has got to walk the point."
"Get off my planet!"
"Better keep up split-lip. I haven't even broken a sweat and I've dropped more of these monkeys than you."
"Hey oracle... you see this coming." BLAM.
