==''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''==
===Chapter two===
*"Winning," - To [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Halsey]], who asked him what he was doing.
*"Yeah, but they made me play chess last week. That got boring. It’s too easy to win. Or—can we play gravball? They don’t let me play gravball anymore, but maybe if you tell them it’s okay?"
*"Okay. I always win, though. That’s why they won’t let me play gravball anymore." - When asked by Dr. Halsey if he wants another game.
*"I get to keep [[quarter|it]], right? That’s what you said." - After winning the game

===Chapter four===
*"Okay, just try not to slow me down."
*"We’ll have to make a quick run for it. Make sure no one else gets there first.”

===Chapter five===
*"Dead is right, especially when you load them with rocks." - After [[Kelly-087]] tells she's a dead aim in snowball fight.
*"Hey, owl," - To [[Samuel-034|Sam-034]] who was hooting like an owl.
*"Sam, take three and scout the area. I don’t want any of the Chief’s surprises sneaking up on us."
*"I’ve been thinking that, too. Just keep your eyes and ears sharp." - To Sam, who said this exercise is too easy.
*"No one’s being left behind. We’re going to figure a way to get all of us out."
*"But there’s got to be a way—I just haven’t thought of one yet. Even if it has to be me that stays behind—I’ll make sure everyone gets back to the base."
*"Nothing can kill the Chief. But one thing’s for sure: I don’t think we can just walk up there and get a free ride back to the base."
*"Okay … we don’t know who these men are or what they’ll do when they see us. So we find out."
*"No one," - To Kelly, when asked who was getting left behind.
*"Sir, the guards were out of uniform. No insignia. They failed to identify themselves, sir!" - To [[Chief Petty Officer]] [[Franklin Mendez|Mendez]], explaining why he attacked UNSC guards.

===Chapter six===
*"I’m fine, ma’am. The nurse said the sedation would take effect soon. I’m fighting it to see how long I can stay awake. It’s not easy." - To Halsey, who asked if he's fine.
*"I know this is one of the Chief’s exercises. But I don’t know what the twist is. Can you tell me, Dr. Halsey? Just this time? How do I win?"

===Chapter seven===
*"Stand fast, Crewman. Where are you taking my men?" - To people who were bringing trainees who failed [[Project ASTER|augmentation process]] out.
*"What will happen to my men?"
*"That's all any of us ask for, sir: a chance to serve."
*"I was Squad Leader. The last mission was therefore my responsibility … and members of my squad died. What did I do wrong?"

*"The rest of you fall out. You'll have the more difficult part of this mission: you'll have to wait here." - To Spartans he didn't choose for [[Operation: TALON]]

===Chapter ten===
*"We're not going to fail. We've accomplished every mission we've been on before."
*"Nothing's wrong. What could be wrong? We won."

===Chapter fourteen===
*"I don't miss, ma'am." - When Halsey told him he could miss by kilometers.
*"With respect, ma'am, it's a bigger risk to sit here and do nothing. After they finish with the ''Commonwealth'' ... they'll come for us and we'll have to fight them anyway. Better to strike first."
*"And if we don’t succeed, then power down your systems and wait for UNSC reinforcements to retrieve you. Live to fight another day. Don’t waste your lives." - To [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartans]], before [[Battle of Chi Ceti]]
*"You’ll have to stay and hold them off. That’s an order." - To Sam

*"I will answer to the best of my abilities, sir."
*"I can only offer my opinion, sir. I am not a scientist." - When asked to explain his thoughts.
*"I had extremely specific orders, sir. Orders that came directly from NavSpecWeap, Section Three." - When told that opportunities had been lost because of his action.
*"No, sir. I am simply stating that the destruction — of anything, including any ‘evidence’ — is a direct result of the detonation of a nuclear weapon. In full compliance with my orders. Sir." - When asked if he means that he destroyed evidences because he was ordered to.
*"Ma’am, a pleasure to see you again." - When seeing Halsey.
*"I’m fine, ma’am. We won at Sigma Octanus. It was good to have a complete victory.” - When asked if he's fine.

===Chapter twenty-seven===
*"You said there were two major system improvements, Doctor?"

*"I won't fail, doctor." - When told some may want him to fail.

*"Thank you, Cortana. I couldn't have done it without you." - After the exercise

===Chapter thirty-two===
*"Yes, and I'm waiting for it." - To Kelly, who said it's like Mendez's exercises.

===Chapter thirty-seven===
*"No!" - When [[Linda-058]] is severely wounded by plasma.
*"Get her inside!" - To marines, to protect Linda.
*"We're ready, Captain. I'm ready." - To Keyes, shortly after Linda's death.
*"Sir, I would not have left if my mission was incomplete." - To Keyes, when asked if he accomplished his mission.
*“Those symbols … I thought I had seen them somewhere before. It’s nothing.” - When asked if he's thoughtful.

*"Keyes?" 
*"I don't understan-"

===[[Two Betrayals]]===
*"Hold on now, he's a friend."
*"Yes... Activate Halo's defenses, and destroy the [[Flood]], which is why we brought the [[Index]] to the Control Center." - When Cortana asked him if he knew what he almost did.
*"Enough! The Flood is spreading. If we activate Halo's defenses, we can wipe them out."
*"Is it true?"
*"That's ''not'' going to happen." - When [[343 Guilty Spark]] claims he will forcefully take Cortana away from the Chief.
*"Let's find a ride and get to the Captain."
*"You have a better idea?"
*"Something tells me I'm not gonna like this." - When Cortana proposes a faster way of transportation to find [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes]] — [[Teleportation grid|teleportation]].

===[[The Maw]]===
*"We'll make it." - To Cortana, who panics about their flight on a [[Banshee]] to the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}.

*"I... don't know." - When Cortana asks him what he did to a forerunner panel.
*"I didn’t. Let’s get the hell out of here." - When Cortana asks him how he knew how to operate the panel.
*"Thanks for the ride." - To [[Carol Rawley]], pilot of [[Echo 419]]

===Chapter four===
*"I'm glad to hear it." - When Cortana says Captain Keyes is likely in the ship's brig.
*"We need a way out of this bay now or there won’t be anyone left to complete the mission."
*"It shouldn’t be too difficult. All we have to do is follow the bodies.” - When Keyes asks him how he can lead their way out.
*"No offense, sir, but it might be best to finish this mission before we tackle another one." - When Keyes assigns a new mission to him.

===Chapter five===
*"Check your weapons. We have cleanup to do."
*"Tell me something, Cortana. How come you're always advising me to go up gravity lifts, run down corridors, and sneak through forests while making no mention of all the enemy troops that seem to inhabit such places?"
*"Yes. When we get there, I’m going to kill every single Covenant soldier I find." - When Cortana wonders if he has a plan.

*"Yes, well, refresh my memory . . . how long has it been since you were left in charge?" - To Spark, trying to manipulate him.
*"A pain in the ass is more like it." - When Spark says that he is a genius.
*"More doors. I can hardly wait." - When Spark opens a door first of many.
*"Right. And I’m a Vice Admiral." - When Spark repeats that he is a genius.

==''[[Halo: First Strike]]''==
===Chapter five===
*"If you don’t find something out there we can use, we’re dead. This ship has no Slipspace drive, and no cryo. There’s no way to get back and report. Power, fuel, air, food, water—we only have enough for a few hours. So. Scan. Again.”
*"We’ll see about that." - To Cortana, when said that they can't fight [[Seven|seven]] [[Covenant cruiser|cruiser]]s.

*"You were dead. I saw you die. On Jenkins’s mission record. The Flood got you.” - When seeing Sergeant Johnson.

===Chapter six===
*"Explain how that’s possible." - When Johnson says he wasn't infected.
*"That was my intention, sir. But neither this Longsword nor your Pelican is equipped with Shaw-Fujikawa engines. Without a jump to Slipspace, it would take years to return." - When [[Elias Haverson|Lieutenant Haverson]] states that their first priority must be to return to UNSC.
*"Pardon me, sir. I must point out that while you are the ranking officer, I am on a classified mission of the highest priority. My orders come directly from High Command."
*"Meaning, I have tactical command of this crew, these ships…and you. Sir." - When Haverson asks him what does the quote above means.
*"Was my order unclear, [[Corporal Locklear|Corporal]]?"
*"Good work, people. But that was just the easy part.”

===Chapter seven===
*"Only a hundred Elites?" - When Cortana says there are 'only a hundred Elites' inside the ship.

*"Later." - To [[Polaski|Warrant Officer Polaski]], who offered him a first-aid kit.
*"Just tell [[Huragok|it]] I’m taking it to fix something.”
*"Cortana, buy me some time."
*"Thanks." - To the Huragok when taught how to use [[needler]]s.

===Chapter nine===
*"Try something. Try anything." - To Cortana.
*"“What’s it doing?" - When the Huragok is trying to maneuver behind him.
*"My team and I—"''hesitates''"“Our mission was to capture a Covenant ship." - When reminded of his [[SPARTAN-II program|teammates]], thinking they were [[Fall of Reach|dead]].

===Chapter sixteen===
*"The Covenant don’t ‘miss’ anything when they glass a planet. We’ve seen them do it enough to know what happens. This is no accident."
*"[[Spartan signals|Oly Oly Oxen Free]]."

===Chapter seventeen===
*"Okay, this is supposed to be a training exercise, but this is the seventh time Chief Mendez has made us play with [[Tango Company]]."
*"I’m always careful."
*"Let’s not stick around. If they weren’t before, they’re pissed now."
*"I know. Thanks." - When Sam tells him he won't let anyone do anything to him.
*"You idiots are bunched up."

===Chapter nineteen===
*"This was my idea. If it’s a trap, I want to be the one to set it off. You stay here and back me up." - When Haverson asks him if going alone is wise.

===Chapter twenty===
*"It’s me. I wish I had time to explain everything. I will—later." - When Fred sees him

===Chapter twenty-two===
*"Take care of her." - To Halsey, referring to a semiconscious Kelly.

*"I’m one hundred percent, sir." - To Haverson, who told him Dr. Halsey told that it would be days before he recovered.
*"I’m with Admiral Whitcomb and Lieutenant Haverson, ma’am. When I’m done I can speak with you." - To Halsey, who said she wanted to speak with him.

===Chapter twenty-seven===
*"I’m fine, ma’am." - When Halsey tells him that he shouldn't have moved before healing.
*"I’m not sure how he survived. How could anyone live through that?" - About Johnson, pointing to Flood.
*"Why would I withhold any data, Doctor?"
*"Why do you want me to make this choice?" -When Halsey tells him to choose between ONI having better chance in stopping the Flood or Johnson.
*"Doctor, don’t let her die again." - About Linda, moments before the surgery.

===Chapter twenty-eight===
*"Thank you, Doctor Halsey." - When Linda was saved.
*"They can’t win. They’ll try. But the Covenant will eventually take down one of the orbital MACs, slip through, and pick off the ground-based generators. Just like on Reach." - About Eridanus II

===Chapter thirty-six===
*"A brilliant strategic victory," - Repeating Whitcomb's last words
*"We couldn’t have survived without you. Your programming is as good as ours." - To Cortana

*"Boo..." - To the Grunt while Prophet of Truth are not noticing his presence yet after being teleported into High Charity by the [[Gravemind]].

===[[High Charity (level)|High Charity]]===
*"[[Prophet of Truth|Your pal]]. Where's he going?" - To the [[Prophet of Mercy]], who is dying from a [[Pod infector]].
*"[[Tartarus|That]] [[Brute]] has the Index. And [[Miranda Keyes|Miranda]] and Johnson. He can activate the [[Installation 05|ring]]." - Expressing his concerns to Cortana if he pursuits Truth (instead of chasing Tartarus) to the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]] in [[High Charity]].

*"Aboard Forerunner vessel. Destination Earth- Minimum one Prophet Hierarch on board. No estimate for remaining crew... '''''More to follow'''''." - To Io Station, giving a situation report just as he attempt to assassinate the Prophet of Truth.

*"Does he usually mention me?" - After the Prophet of Truth's message.

===[[The Storm (level)|The Storm]]===
*"Worse." - After the Arbiter asked if more Brutes arrived.

===[[Floodgate]]===

* "Send me your coordinates. I'll see what I can do about clearing an evac route on my way to you."
* "What can we do to keep the Covenant out?"
* "The device you recovered was a Forerunner weapon. The commander of [[Mantle's Approach|that ship]] wants it back."
* "We don't have any choice, doctor."
* "If we can't move the Composer, we have to make sure the Didact can't either."
* "I'm sorry, doctor. Keep routing your people to the evac centers. Once we take care of the Composer, you won't have much time." 
* "Doctor Tillson, the Composer's location's been compromised. You've got to get the nuke down here!"
* "Ready or not, I need it now!"
* "Cortana, see if you can raise Tillson. Get me a status on the rest of the station." 
* "Cortana, I need that info! (''sigh'') Look... don't think about the Didact. Don't think about the Composer. Only focus on finding me Tillson."

* "How...?"

Through thirty years of war against alien aggressors… I have always known my fate. I knew someday I would die in battle.
