Avery J. Johnson/Quotes

Halo: Combat Evolved

• "All you greenhorns who wanted to see Covenant up close? This is going to be your lucky day!" To the marines on the Pillar of Autumn.

• "Well, there's only one thing left to say...(loudly, brashly vocalizes the "That's all, folks!" tune from Looney Toons)" When the player is killed if he attacks the bridge crew of the Pillar of Autumn.

• "Get up, SO I CAN KILL YOU AGAIN!".

• "ROADKILL".

• "I would have been your daddy, but the dog beat me over the fence!"

• "This is it, baby. Hold me." To a miscellaneous Elite, in the Legendary ending (non-canon).

Pillar of Autumn Speeches

"Keep your eyes downrange, fingers on the triggers, and we all come home in one piece. Am I right, Marines?"

— Easy

"Once again, it is our job to finish what the flyboys started. We are leaving 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 them away, laughing! Am I right, Marines?"

— Normal

"Men, here is where we show those split-chinned squid-headed 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 them with. Then we will strangle them with their own living guts! Am I right, Marines?"

— Heroic

"Men, we have led these dumb bugs out to the middle of no-where to keep them from gettin' their filthy claws on Earth. But, we stumbled on something they're so hot for, that they're scrambling over each other to get it. Well, I don't care if its God's own anti-son-of-a-bitch machine or a giant hula hoop, we're not going to let them have it! What we will let them have is a belly full of lead and a pool of their own blood to drown in! Am I right, Marines?"

— Legendary

• "(Spits) Say what?!" When he learns about Delta Halo in the opening cutscene of the level Delta Halo.

• "Listen, you don't like me, and I sure as hell don't like you. But if we don't do something, Mr. Mohawk's gonna activate this ring, and we're all gonna die." To the Arbiter, while piloting a Scarab, during The Great Journey.

• "Please...don't shake the light bulb!" Referring to 343 Guilty Spark in The Great Journey.

Metropolis Speeches

"You had your chance to be afraid before you joined my beloved Corps! But, to guide you back to the true path, I brought this motivational device! Our big green style cannot be defeated!"

— Easy

— Normal

"When I joined the Corps, we didn't have any fancy-schmanzy tanks. We had sticks! Two sticks, and a rock for the whole platoon- and we had to share the rock! Buck up, boy, you are one very lucky marine!"

— Heroic
