Halo has had some pretty memorable lines over the past 11 years, what are some of your favourites?
[quote]"You're being kidnapped, young Manipular. The humans have to come as well. Apologies to all."[/quote] ~ The Didact, Halo: Cryptum. This line just made me love the Didact as we see a slightly more humorous side to him as a character, he just says it like it's nothing in the face of imminent danger.
[quote]"We've got Jackals in the courtyard![/quote] ~ Johnson, Halo 2. Not sure what it is about this line that makes me like it so much, but it just sticks out as one of Johnson's best lines.
[quote]"Welcome home, John."[/quote] ~ Cortana, Halo 4. One of my favourite moments in the series as I witnessed the departure of a character I've known and loved for 11 years and the profound effect it had on John.
[quote]"You are what you dare."[/quote] ~ Bornstellar, Halo: Cryptum. This was almost like a mantra for the young Forerunner and was implemented really well in developing him as a character while showing what motivated him.
[quote]"There are those who said this day would never come, what are they to say now?"[/quote] ~ Prophet of Truth, Halo 2. Everything and anything that Michael Wincott said in this game was just awesome, dat gravelly voice...
[quote]"'One last fight, demon. You will die and we shall reopen the Silver Path'.
'Die?' Kurt laughed. 'Didn't you know?' he told the Elite 'Spartans never die.'
Kurt turned his gauntlet face-up and pressed the detonator."[/quote] ~ Ghosts of Onyx. A whole novel of getting to know Kurt, one of my favourite characters, and he goes out blowing up an entire planet and wiping out legions of Covenant forces.

Cortana: "They are gone...they're all gone." Chief: "And more will follow if the Didact reaches Earth." I loved this in Halo 4, it was just a call to action.

"Never rely on unreliable technology" I think it was CPO Mendez in a flashback John had in First Strike...?

"It asked, and I answered. For a moment of safety I loosed damnation on the stars..."

Edited by BlackHeaven: 1/28/2013 12:17:54 AMCortana: The message just repeats. 'Regret, Regret, Regret.' Miranda: Any idea what it means? Johnson: Dear Humanity, we regret being alien bastards. We regret coming to Earth. And we most definitely regret that the Corps just blew up our raggedy-ass fleet! hoorah!"

Were it so easy...

[quote]I'm a cowardly fool![/quote]

[quote]Soon the great journey will begin. But when it does, the weight of your heresy shall stay your feet. . . and you shall be left behind.[/quote] I just love the imagery this line evokes. The delivery, the metaphors. THIS is what got me into Halo, was hearing that line at the beginning of Halo 2. [quote]She said that to me once, about being a machine.[/quote] Loved the delivery, the lead up to it, the way it reflects the character. This is the moment John became Human. Honorary mention to Didact's dialogue in Halo 4. It's a little mixed, but I just love saying it in Bane's voice.

This... just this...

-
[quote]"I have beaten fleets of thousands! Consumed a galaxy of flesh and mind and bone!"[/quote] -Gravemind I've always thought the emphasis on the syllables was awesome in this line.

"There!"

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!

Lord Hood: Master Chief, you mind telling me what you're doing on that ship? Master Chief: Sir, finishing this fight. *epic music plays*

You should probably hide the Ghosts of Onyx one, kind of totally a spoiler.
