- Dr. Catherine Halsey: What was it about the girl that made you run?
- Master Chief: I couldn't let her die.
- Dr. Catherine Halsey: But you've seen so many people die. Why was this situation any different?
- Master Chief: Well, I don't think the situation was different. I think... I am... different. I feel connected to something. I don't know what it is or why it chose me. But I know it's out there. I can feel it.
- Dr. Catherine Halsey: Have you felt this way before?
- Master Chief: I don't usually feel anything.
- Dr. Catherine Halsey: Then why did you come back?
- Master Chief: There's no one else I could trust.
- Kwan Ha: Why are you doing this? Why didn't you just take me in, let them kill me?
- Master Chief: Would you let a kid be executed?
- Kwan Ha: No.
- Master Chief: Why not?
- Kwan Ha: Because it's wrong.
- Master Chief: That's what I was thinking.
- Kwan Ha: Thank you.
- Master Chief: You're welcome.
- Soren-066: Ladies and gentlemen, put your weapons down. If John here wanted you dead, you'd be dead.
