- Kaidan Alenko: [playing poker] Got the flush.
- Lt. James Vega: Mmmmmm... full house. Caught it on the river.
- Kaidan Alenko: Shit.
- Lt. James Vega: Thought you were bluffing on the flush. Good for you.
- Kaidan Alenko: Can it, Lieutenant.
- Lt. James Vega: [laughs] Yes sir, Major Alenko, sir.
- Garrus Vakarian: You sure you wanna play this game?
- Lt. James Vega: What's the matter, Vakarian, you chicken?
- Garrus Vakarian: I don't even know what that is... though I've heard everything in the galaxy tastes like it. But if you're suggesting I'm scared, game on, Vega.
- Lt. James Vega: Age before wisdom.
- Garrus Vakarian: Okay. Back in my C-Sec days, I busted a batarian spy ring that was trying to assassinate a Councilor.
- Lt. James Vega: Please! I fought off a dozen angry batarians on Omega singlehandedly. Used one of 'em as a landing pad off a three-story jump.
- Garrus Vakarian: Just warming up, seeing what you had. Now, I tracked down this guy Saren, stopped him from raising a geth army and unleashing the Reapers three years ago.
- Lt. James Vega: Doesn't count, you did that with Shepard.
- Garrus Vakarian: You're right. I WAS with Shepard. From the very beginning.
- Lt. James Vega: That just means you're old.
- Lt. James Vega: So... Prothean, huh?
- Javik: Yes.
- Lt. James Vega: You guys like to drink? Booze it up?
- Javik: No.
- Lt. James Vega: Okay. What about gambling? Play cards?
- Javik: Games of chance were punishable by death in the empire.
- Lt. James Vega: Oh, sure, sure. That seems... reasonable.
- Tali'Zorah vas Normandy: I appreciate what you're doing here, Shepard.
- Commander Shepard - Male: Well, I care deeply about the quarian people.
- Tali'Zorah vas Normandy: It's good to be back on the Normandy.
- Commander Shepard - Male: Let me know if it's too quiet for you to sleep, and I'll find you someplace louder.
- Tali'Zorah vas Normandy: Hmm.
- Lt. James Vega: Okay, what am I missing?
- EDI: Shepard and Tali became physically intimate during their fight against the Collectors.
- Lt. James Vega: Too much information.
- [while telling war stories]
- Lt. James Vega: You been through a lot, Scars.
- Garrus Vakarian: You giving up?
- Lt. James Vega: Nah, I got more. Just don't like to talk about it.
- Garrus Vakarian: Fair enough. We've all got one of those.
- Lt. James Vega: Just one, huh?
- Garrus Vakarian: Yeah. Not every story has a happy ending.
- Lt. James Vega: Except there was this one time I teamed up with a turian named Garrus Vakarian. He was pretty good with a gun, but he thought he was some kinda hotshot.
- Garrus Vakarian: Yeah. Yeah, I knew this wise-ass marine named Jimmy Vega. Sounds like a pole dancer on Omega. Always got on my nerves. But the kid was all right. Had guts when it counted.
- Lt. James Vega: And together they cured the genophage.
- Garrus Vakarian: And stopped Cerberus from taking over the Citadel.
- Lt. James Vega: And finally kicked the Reapers from this galaxy and into the next.
- Garrus Vakarian: With a little help from their friends.
- Lt. James Vega: Nah, it was just us. But mostly me.
- Commander Shepard - Male: Tali's our expert on Geth hardware. She'll be handling hacking and security.
- Lt. James Vega: Nice to meet you, Sparks.
- Tali'Zorah vas Normandy: Sparks?
- Lt. James Vega: Yeah, you've got lights in your... uh... and you're kind of small and jumpy.
- [Awkward silence]
- Lt. James Vega: It just came out.
- Tali'Zorah vas Normandy: If you say so.
- Lt. James Vega: [Seeing Elijah Khan's dead body] I guess he's gonna have to retire for health reasons.
- [while telling war stories]
- Garrus Vakarian: Still think you can win this, huh?
- Lt. James Vega: I can do this all day, Scars.
- Garrus Vakarian: Funny you mention those. Ever hear the name Archangel?
- Lt. James Vega: I might've.
- Garrus Vakarian: You know you have. I'm Archangel.
- Lt. James Vega: Maybe I heard somethin' about that too.
- Garrus Vakarian: Hmm. So maybe you also heard that, for a couple months there, the crime rate on Omega mysteriously dropped while Archangel did a little... housecleaning.
- Lt. James Vega: So you ran a cleaning service on Omega. Back on Fehl Prime, I uncovered a pair of Harvesters. Had to kill 'em by myself.
- Garrus Vakarian: Two wormnecks, that's... almost impressive.
- Lt. James Vega: Oh, that's not even the best part. They left behind an egg. It hatched, and I trained it to let me fly it.
- Garrus Vakarian: [scoffs] The Alliance teach you to make up crap like that, or did you figure it out all by yourself?
- Lt. James Vega: It's a gift.
- Lieutenant Steve Cortez: Wish you could've seen that gun on Tuchanka firsthand. I cut the auditory emulators and watched that Cerberus cruiser gracefully and silently disintegrate. Beautiful.
- Lt. James Vega: Sometimes I worry about you, man.
- [while fighting Cerberus Phantoms]
- Lt. James Vega: I just gotta say... swords? Seriously?
- Javik: Do not fear the weapon. Fear the one wielding it.
- Lt. James Vega: That's what I love about you, Buggy. You're like Sun Tzu, with more eyes.
