Game Quotes from Halo

Leonard Church: "Hey! Open up!"
Michael Caboose: "What's the password?"
Leonard Church: "Password? Oh man, I forgot."
Michael Caboose: "'Forgot' what?"
Leonard Church: "I forgot the password."
Michael Caboose: "That was almost right. Uh, see, the password *begins* with, 'I forgot,' but ends differently. Um, try again."
Leonard Church: "No. I mean, I forgot the password."
Michael Caboose: "No, OK, see, you- you got it wrong again. See, you said the same thing as last time."
Leonard Church: "I'm bein' serious! I don't know the password!"
Michael Caboose: "No no no. See, you changed the first part. See, that- that was the right part. See now you've got the whole thing wrong!"
Leonard Church: "No! I forgot what the password is, and I just need you to open the door!"
Michael Caboose: "All right, come on man, now you're just guessing!"

News of my death has been greatly exaggerated.

Spartans never die. They're just missing in action.

He gave his life thinking he'd just saved the planet. We should all be so lucky.

Carter: "Even for you, Kat, that's...-"
Kat: "Inspired?"
Carter: "Not the word I would use."

It wouldn't be a noble mission if it were easy.

It didn't take long for Reach to fall. Our enemy was ruthless. Efficient. But they weren't nearly fast enough. For you had already passed the torch. And because of you, we found Halo, unlocked its secrets, shattered our enemy's resolve. Our victory - your victory - was so close... I wish you could have lived to see it.

Mankind is out-matched. When Reach falls - and it will fall - our annihilation is all but certain. Unless we can glean from this artifact a defense against the Covenant. A game-changer. On the level of the conical bullet in the nineteenth century, or faster-than-ligh travel in the twenty-third.

"You have one bullet against an entire army!"
Master Chief: "It's enough."
