Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Captain Keyes : Cortana, all I need to know is did we lose them?

  Cortana : I think we both know the answer to that.

  Captain Keyes : We made a blind jump. How did they...

  Cortana : Get here first? The Covenant ships have always been faster. As for tracking us all the way from Reach, at lightspeed my maneuvering options were limited.

  Captain Keyes : We were running dark, yes?

  Cortana : Until we decelerated, no one could have missed the hole we tore in subspace. They were waiting for us on the far side of the planet.

  Captain Keyes : So, where do we stand?

  Cortana : Our fighters are mopping up the last of their recon picket, nothing serious. But I've located approach signatures for multiple CCS battlegroups, make it three capital ships per group.

  Captain Keyes : Well, that's it then. Bring the ship back up to Combat Alert Alpha. I want everyone at their stations.

  Cortana : Everyone, sir?

  Captain Keyes : Everyone.

• Pvt. Mendoza : [Jenkins's video feed - Marines are examining a brutally killed elite]  ... which is weird right? I mean, look at it, something scrambled the insides.

  Sgt. Johnson : Hunh. Plasma scoring?

  Pvt. Mendoza : Yeah, I don't know, maybe there was an accident you know, friendly fire?

  Captain Keyes : What do we have Sergeant?

  Sgt. Johnson : Looks like a Covenant patrol, bad-ass elite unit, all KIA.

  Captain Keyes : Real pretty, friend of yours?

  Pvt. Mendoza : Nah, we just met.

• The Master Chief : Captain Keyes.

  Captain Keyes : [offers his hand]  Good to see you, Master Chief. Things aren't going well. Cortana did her best, but we never really had a chance.

  Cortana : A dozen Covenant superior battleships against a single Halcyon-class cruiser. With those odds I'm content with three... make that four kills.

  [turns to the Master Chief] 

  Cortana : Sleep well?

  The Master Chief : No thanks to your driving... yes.

  Cortana : So you did miss me.

• Marine : [after killing all the aliens on the beach]  Area secure! All hostiles have been eliminated!

  Foe Hammer : Affirmative! Echo 419 inbound! Somebody order a Warthog?

  Sgt. Stacker : Hey, I didn't know you made house calls, Foe Hammer!

  Foe Hammer : You know our motto! "We deliver!"

• Captain Keyes : [FPV from Pvt. Jenkins' helmet cam]  Right, let's get this door open.

  Pvt. Mendoza : I'll try, sir. But it looks like these Covenant tried pretty hard to lock it down.

  Captain Keyes : Just do it, son.

  Pvt. Mendoza : Yes, sir.

  [Mendoza uses a codebreaker and opens the door; he motions to enter the room. Jenkins, Mendoza and Bisenti go in and fan out] 

  Pvt. Bisenti : I got a bad feeling about this...

  Sgt. Johnson : Boy, you always got a bad feeling about something.

  Marine : [over radio]  Captain? Sarge? Can you hear me?

  Captain Keyes : What's going on, soldier?

  Marine : [over radio]  We got contacts, lots of 'em! But they're not Covenant! They're just tearin' through us! What the... Oh, no!

  Sgt. Johnson : Corporal? Do you copy, over? Mendoza, get your ass back up to second squad's position and find out what the hell is going on!

  Pvt. Mendoza : But...

  Sgt. Johnson : I don't have time for your lip, soldier! I gave you an order!

  Pvt. Mendoza : But Sarge, listen!

  [ominous crawling and slurping is heard] 

  Pvt. Bisenti : What is that?

  Sgt. Johnson : Where's that comin' from, Mendoza?

  Pvt. Mendoza : Everywhere! I don't... There! Mira!

  [points as infection form Flood pour out of a door] 

  Pvt. Bisenti : [an infection form latches onto his face]  Gaaah! Get it out! Get it out!

  Pvt. Mendoza : Hold still! Hold still!

  Sgt. Johnson : Let 'em have it!

  [the Marines open fire] 

  Captain Keyes : Sergeant, we're surrounded!

  Sgt. Johnson : Goddammit, Jenkins! Fire your weapon!

  Pvt. Jenkins : There are too many, Sarge!

  Sgt. Johnson : Don't even think about it, Marine.

  Pvt. Mendoza : Aw, this is loco!

  [runs away] 

  Captain Keyes : Get back here, Marine! That's an order!

  [Johnson calls out to Jenkins whose cam is blocked by the Flood; video feed ends] 

• Captain Keyes : Stow your belly-aching, soldier. Remember you're a leatherneck.
