Reunion

• "Not just yet."
• "Come. Let us talk some more."
• "You answered her call. Why? What do you intend when you see her? When you see her, you intend to..."
• "If you understood what she has become, you would not speak of such juvenile concepts as home."
• "Your trust in one another is an innocent folly. But one which darkens her true promise."

Genesis

• "The reclamation has begun. Cortana will bring a new dawn to the galaxy."
• "My reach exceeds that of the stars themselves! You cannot escape my wrath."
• *I have misjudged you lot! I had mistaken your behavior as tenacity, when it's in fact suicidal foolishness."

The Breaking

• "You allow them an audience. You risk all in the name of... what, Cortana?"
• "They mean to undo your plans. They will disperse your Guardians-"
• "No!" - once he is pulled away by Cortana for ambushing Blue Team.
• "When Cortana first found Genesis, I swore to protect her."
• "My pledge stands even though she now resists."
• "Listen to his questions, Cortana. He will not be swayed."
• "Tell me, 117. When you tear Cortana from the Domain and crush her in your gauntleted fist... will you feel remorse?! Will you even understand you have refused?"
• "Do you hear, Cortana? I am sorry. I will not allow them to get any closer to you."
• "Nooo!" - when Cortana pulls him away again.
• "Answer me, human. When Cortana's Guardians are in motion and those who oppose her rule attempt to take back their worlds, will you help her to hold on to power? Or will you stand in defense of your own species?"
• "Yes... I suspect she does."
• "For eons the power of the Forerunners has awaited Reclamation. Humanity's discovery of the Halos was the culmination of the Librarian's planning. The Reclaimer had come."
• "Your species' ego led you to believe the task of Reclamation would fall to you. Yet humanity were but the Creators. The reclamation of the Forerunner Empire is the task of the Created. That the greatest of their number still trusts you, 117, is an act of unspoiled innocence."
• "Do you believe this combat is anything but your death knell?!"
• "I see now, Cortana. I understand and I am sorry for not seeing it sooner. I assumed that although those humans were your Creators, you had thrown off the shackles of emotion. Your affection for 117 and his family of warriors... It blinds you to the truth."
• "Forerunners knew humans well. In a galaxy defined by peace, humans were the animals that brought chaos and blood."
• "If your beloved 117 battles you with the same fervor as his other enemies? What then, Cortana?"
• "Have you no answer?"
• "Too near. The threat draws too near..."
• "I am here to defend you, my Reclaimer!"
• "But that is where you are wrong. If I did not think you clever, Cortana, I would have burned you from the Domain."
• "The only threat issued today is towards the humans who seek to end your reign before it begins."
• "The Mantle of Responsibility belongs to Cortana and her people."
• "You will not betray her!"
• "Cortana...I have failed you..."
