===Scripted Dialog===

*"Men, keep your eyes downrange, fingers on the triggers, and we all come home in one piece. Am I right, Marines? - [[Johnson]]'s speech on [[Easy]].
*"Once again it is our job to finish what the flyboys started. We are leaving [[Pillar of Autumn|this ship]] platoon, and engaging the [[Covenant]] on solid ground. When we meet the enemy, we will rip their skulls from their spines, and toss 'em away, laughin'! Am I right, Marines?" - Johnson's speech on [[Normal]].
*"Men, here is where we show those [[Elites|split-chin]] squid-head sons of bitches that they could not have picked a worse enemy than the [[human]] race. We are going to blow the hell out of those dumb bugs until we don't have anything left to shoot 'em with! And then, we are going to strangle them with their own-living-guts! Am I right, Marines?" - Johnson's speech on [[Heroic]].
*"Men, we led those dumb bugs out to the middle of nowhere to keep 'em from gettin' their filthy claws on [[Earth]]. But, we stumbled onto somethin' they're so hot for, that they're scramblin' over each other to get it. Well, I don't care if it's God's own personal anti-son-of-a-bitch machine, or a [[Halo|giant hula hoop]], we're not 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?" -[[Johnson]]'s speech on [[Legendary]].
*"All you greenhorns who wanted to see Covenant up close...this is gonna be your lucky day."
*"Well, there's only one thing to say.. That's all, folks!" - When the [[Master Chief]] is killed after attacking the crew on the [[Pillar of Autumn]]'s bridge.
*"It's a mess, Sir. We're scattered all over this valley. We called for evac, but until [[Master Chief|you]] showed up, [[Johnson|I]] thought we were cooked." - To the Master Chief on the level [[Halo (Halo: Combat Evolved Level)|Halo]].
*"Sure, Cortana. All right ladies, volunteers step up on the double! The rest of you, get to the [[Pelican|Dropship]]." - When Cortana asked for some backup, may be said by Johnson or by [[M. Fitzgerald]].
*"Hit it Marines, go go go! The [[UNSC|Corps]] ain't payin' us by the hour!" Beginning of [[Truth and Reconciliation(level)]] after the cut-scene.   
*"Watch your mouth, [[Manuel Mendoza|son]]. This "stuff" is your history. It should remind you grunts what we're fightin' to protect!" - Referring to [[flip music]], level [[343 Guilty Spark (Level)|343 Guilty Spark]].
*"You ask 'em REAL nice next time you see 'em, [[Bisenti]]. [[Johnson|I]]'m sure [[Covenant|they]]'ll be happy to oblige."  
*"Wait here for the [[Jacob Keyes|Captain]] and his squad, then get your ass inside." - To Wallace Jenkins.
*"What's that? Plasma scoring?" - Finding the dead Elites patrol in the Forerunner facility, level [[343 Guilty Spark (Level)|343 Guilty Spark]].
*"Looks like a Covenant patrol. Badass Elite units, all KIA." - To [[Jacob Keyes]].
*"Boy, you always got a bad feelin' about something-" - In the [[Flood Infection Form]]s chamber. This quote inspired a [[Grunt]] quote in [[Halo 2]]
*"[[Mendoza]], get your ass back up to [[Second Squad]]'s position, and find out what the hell is goin' on." - To Manuel Mendoza.
*"Don't even THINK about it, Marine!" - To Wallace Jenkins.

'''Legendary Ending'''
*"C'mere you mother ..! I'm gonna. Grrr... Ah." - Struggling with an Elite for [[Assault Rifle]].
*"Oh shi..." - When the Pillar of Autumn started to explode.
*"This is it, baby. Hold me." - To the Elite, who hugs him.

'''When exiting the Halo Trial'''
*"So.  You beat the Halo demo.  Not bad, soldier, not bad at all.  But are you ready to take the next step?  In the full version of Halo, you'll find additional vehicles like tanks, plasma turrets, and aircraft; powerful new human ''and'' alien weapons; a single player campaign spanning ''ten'' massive indoor and outdoor enviroments; ''and'' support for intense multiplayer battles with up to sixteen of your friends!  ...Or enemies.  All that wrapped up in an epic sci-fi story that's so ''freaky'' it makes me shake just thinkin' about it.  Halo: Combat Evolved.  Buy one!  Heck, buy two.  That's an order, soldier!
