Halo: Combat Evolved
Sergeant Johnson: "Men, we led those dumb bugs out to the middle of nowhere to keep 'em gettin' their filthy claws on Earth. But, we stumbled onto somethin' they're so hot for, they're scramblin' over each other to get it. Well, I don't care if it's God's own personal anti-son-of-a-bitch machine, or a giant hula hoop, we ain't gonna let 'em have it! What we will let 'em have is a belly full of lead and a pool of their own blood to drown in! ... Am I right, Marines!?"
Marines: "Sir, yes sir!"
Sergeant Johnson: "Uh hm. Damn right I am. Now move it up! Double time!"
343 Guilty Spark: "Hmmmmhmm... I am a genius."
Cortana "This ring isn't a cudgel, you barbarian! It's something else...something much more important...Oh God! Those Covenant fools. They must have known...There must have been signs!"
Master Chief "Slow down, you're losing me."
Cortana " Keyes! We must stop Keyes!"
Master Chief "Captain Keyes?"
Cortana "Theres no Time! Get outta here; find Keyes; stop him...before it's too late!"
Private Bicenti: "Why do we have to listen to this old stuff, Sarge?"
Sergeant Johnson: "Watch your mouth, son. This "stuff" is your history. It should remind you grunts of what we're fightin' to protect!"
Private Bicenti: "Hey, if the Covenant want to wipe out this particular part of my history... thats fine by me."
Sergeant Johnson: "Yah, well you tell that to the Covenant...I'm sure they'll be happy to oblige."
Pelican Pilot: "L.Z. looks clear, I'm bringing us down!"
Sergeant Johnson "Alright marines, GO, GO, GO!"
Grunt: [upon throwing grenade] "Eat grenade!"
Grunt: [upon defeating the Master Chief] "He dies?"
Halo 2
Master Chief: "You told me there wouldn't be any cameras."
Sergeant Johnson: "And you told me you were going to wear something nice. Folks need heroes, Chief. Gives 'em hope. So smile, would ya, while we still got somethin' to smile about."
Cortana: "You look nice."
Master Chief/Sergant Johnson:"Thanks" Thank-you" (simultaneously)
Cortana: "I know what you're thinking, and it's crazy."
Master Chief: "So...stay here."
Cortana: "Unfortunately for us both...I like crazy."
Cortana: "What if you miss?"
Master Chief: "I won't."
Cortana: "The message just repeats. Regret, regret, regret."
Miranda Keyes: "Catchy. Any idea what it means?"
Sergeant Johnson: "Dear humanity, we regret being alien bastards. We regret coming to Earth. And we most definitely regret that the Corps just blew up our raggedy ass fleet!"
Marines: "Oo-RAH!"
Cortana "Regret is a name, sergeant. He's a prophet, and he's CALLING FOR HELP."
Master Chief: "I need a weapon."
Sargeant Johnson"Right this way."
(Said on the Metropolis level of Halo 2 while playing on Legendary setting)
Sergeant Johnson: "Usually the good Lord works in mysterious ways, but not today. This here is 66 tons of straight up HE spewing dee-vine intervention. If God is love, then you can call me Cupid!"
Marine: "What about that Scarab?"
Sergeant Johnson: "We've all run the simulations. They're tough but they ain’t invincible. Stick with the Master Chief, he’ll know what to do."
Cortana: "Thanks for the tank. He (Master Chief) never gets me anything."
Sergeant Johnson: (Boards Pelican and cocks the gun turret) "Oh, I know what the ladies like!"
Truth: "There were those who said this day would never come, what have they to say now?"
Gravemind: "This one (Master Chief) is machine and nerve, (growls) and has its mind concluded...hmmmm...this one (Arbiter) is but flesh and faith, and is the more deluded..."
Gravemind: "This is not your grave...but you are welcome in it."
Truth: "We are all of us greatly concerned. The release of the parasite was unexpected, unfortunate but there is no need to panic. In truth this is a time to rejoice, a moment that all the Covenant should savor, for the Sacred Icon has been found. With it our path is clear, our entry into the Divine Beyond guaranteed. The Great Journey is nigh and nothing, not even The Flood, can stop it."
Truth: "No enemy has ever withstood our might. The Flood too shall fail."
Truth: "The Great Journey waits for no one, Brother...not even you."
Gravemind: "Silence fills the empty grave now that I am gone. But my mind is not at rest, for questions linger on. I will ask, and you will answer."
Cortana: "Alright. Shoot."
Chips Dubbo: "Woah... it's like a postcard!... Dear Sarge: Kicking alien ass in outer space... Wish you were here!"
Sergeant Johnson: "I heard that, jackass!"
Marine "I need a nurse! No... no! A FEMALE nurse."
Sergeant Banks: "Marine, did I give you permission to bitch?"
Marine "Yes Sir!"
Sergeant Banks: "Very well, carry on then."
Arbiter:"The human that killed the Prophet of Regret , who was it?'
Tartarus(on radio):"Who do you think?!"
Arbiter:"The demon is here?!"
Tartarus:(affirmative grunt)"Why? Looking for a little payback?"
Arbiter:"Retrieving the Icon is my only concern."
Tartarus:(chuckle)"Of course."
Marine: "Hey, if I get shot, be sure to give me lots of drugs."

(The final quote is disputed over whether or not it was actually Johnson. The Marine being quoted undoubtedly died in the destruction of Installation 04, yet Sergeant Johnson appears alive in Halo 2. There is, however, an explanation as to how he might have lived. Warrant Officer Polaski may have picked him up before to blast reached him. This might be supported by the fact that in Halo 2, another Marine asks how Sergeant Johnson escaped off of Halo, and he responds stating that it's classified information. Also, the Marine in question was wrestling with an Elite. Sgt Johnson's encounter with the Flood left him stronger than other humans and he is the only known normal human (meaning not a Spartan) with enough strength to engage an Elite in hand-to-hand combat. A simpler explanation might be that the final cutscene, which was only shown when players beat the game on the hardest difficulty level, might not be canon with the story and only a humorous reward.)
Master Chief
- "Commander, we've got a problem."
- "I need a weapon."
- "Relax. I'd rather not piss this thing off."
- "This is Spartan 117! Can anyone read me?"
- "Boo." (said to a Grunt, who then freaks out and runs)
- "Sir, Finishing this fight!"
- "This thing is right. Halo is a weapon. Your Prophets are making a big mistake!"
- [describing Regret is planning to activate the ring] "Are you sure?"
- [Master Chief] "Permission to leave the station." [Reply] "For what purpose?" [Master Chief] "To give the Covenant back their bomb."
- "So. Stay here."
Cortana
- "Unfortunately for us both... I like crazy." (during final cutscene of level 1 of Halo 2)
- "Sod off!" (to Guilty Spark)
- "Or what? I have the Index, you can just float and sputter!" (to 343 Guilty Spark)
- "This ring isn't a cudgel, you barbarian! It's something else...something much more important...the Covenant were right...this ring...its Forerunner...Give me a second to access... Right, the Forerunner built this place, it's what they called a 'fortress-world', in order to...wait...no, that can't be... Oh, those Covenant fools. They must have known...There must have been signs!
- "Oh, I'm sorry. Were you trying to kill something?"
- "Thanks for the tank, he never gets me anything" (when Johnson arrives with a tank for Master Chief to use in Halo 2)
- "If I were a megalomaniac, and I'm not, that's where I'd be."
- "Don't make a girl a promise you can't keep." - to Master Chief when he boards the Forerunner ship headed to earth, after telling him to be safe and not to get hurt, to which he replies "I won't"
- (after Master Chief and other Marines hard-drop onto Delta Halo) "Could we possibly make any more noise?" (Master Chief picks up rocket launcher) "I guess so..."
- (After Master Chief crashes a banshee into the side of the Pillar of Autumn) "You did that on purpose."
- "I have defied gods and demons,
I am your shield; I am your sword,
I know you: your past; your future,
This is the way the world ends." (Halo 3 Teaser trailer)
Arbiter

- "I will continue my campaign against the humans!"
- (Half-Jaw)"These are my Elites. Their lives matter to me; yours does not!" (Arbiter) "That makes two of us."

- "Leader...dead...run away!!" (Elite dead)
- "They killed the Elite! RUN!"
- "Can't...run...with...thing...on...back!" (Retreating)
- "US FIRST, WE'RE SMALLER!!"
- "GET IT OFF, GET IT OFF!!" (when Flood or Plasma grenade is attached)

- "Little people first!!"
- "Take off suit! Get on knees! Then we see how tough you are!"

- Grunt 1: "Me have bad feeling about this...." Grunt 2: "You always have bad feeling. Today you have bad feeling about morning food nipple."
- "Arbiter!! Our SAVIOR!!"
- [When you give a grunt a powerful gun] "Arbiter, me no worthy!!"
- "Why you act like grunt?
- "Please! No hurt! Me like Elites. Brutes stinky bad bad. Me stay here, and make sure no Brutes come behind mighty Arbiter...heh heh."

- "Here it comes!" or "Flare!" or "Down In Front!"(describing plasma grenades)
- [Chanting] "HER-IT-IC! HER-IT-IC! HER-IT-IC!"
- "Not again!" (after getting stuck with a plasma grenade or hit by a lot of needler shots)
- "Spoiler!"
- "Every Grunt for self!"
- "Stupid Jackal, say 'thank you'."
- "Hairball!" (to Brute)
- "Lead on, Mighty One!" (To Arbiter)
- "Kiss My Ass!"
- "Bad Cyborg!"
- "Good thing that food nipple's waitin' for me at the starship, cause, man! Have I worked up a big, grunty thirst!"
- (After Master Chief dies) "Can I have his helmet?"
- "Demon! Run!!!!!"
- "CHEATER!" (After ducking behind cover.)
- "AHH! ANOTHER! HERE! ENEMY!"
- "HERITIC LEADER YOU SEE YOU SEE!!!"
Elites
- "The demon is dead, by my hand!" (if Master Chief dies)
- "You are no warrior!"
- "Your world deserves to burn!"
- "Damn you! Damn you and your entire barbarous race!" (to Brutes)

- "What? The parasite [Flood] control our vehicles? no matter. They will die all the same."
- "By the Prophets, what have these Brutes done? They have shed our brothers' blood, and for that they must die! "
- "A Zealot... so much for a stealthy advance."
- "Make haste! There are more Brutes to kill!"
- "The Hunters have come to our aid, Arbiter. They will fight by our side."
- "Take my Banshee, Arbiter."
- "Onward warriors, and fear not pain or death."
