| '''Keep What You Steal''' is the twenty-first track (Disc 2 Track 6) included in ''[[Halo 3: Original Soundtrack]]'', and plays in the ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[campaign]] level ''[[Cortana (level)|Cortana]]''. It is composed of ''Keep What You Steal'' (0:00-1:12) and ''Escape'' (1:12-2:36).
| | It starts with a high strings note, followed by a variation of the piano melody from [[Finish the Fight]]. Strings then play the melody of the Gregorian-chant from the [[Halo Theme]]. The melody begins to swell, then quiets to a minor key. Strings still take the melody, but drums in the background get louder and louder until they block out the strings. At 2:00, strings begin a discordant melody, which continues to get louder until the end. |

| ==Overview==
| | The name of the song is derived from [[Cortana]]'s quote: "I am a thief... but I keep what I steal." |
| ===Keep What You Steal===
| |
| ''Keep What You Steal'' (1:12) starts with a single high strings note, followed by a piano variation of the five-note E Dorian melody (from the later track ''[[Finish the Fight]]''). Strings then play the melody of the Gregorian chant from the ''[[Halo Theme]]''. The melody begins to swell, then quiets to a minor key to transition to the next piece. The piece plays in the cinematic before the "Nor Hell A Fury..." chapter, in which [[John-117]] reunites with [[Cortana]]. The piece was played in full reprise in ''[[The Package (music)|The Package]]'' (from ''[[Halo: Reach Original Soundtrack]]'').

| ===Escape===
| | It runs for 2 minutes and 36.133 seconds (2:36.133). |
| ''Escape'' (1:24) begins with the strings playing a single note, but drums in the background gradually grow louder and louder until they block out the strings. The strings take over and begin a discordant melody, which continues to grow louder before fading out in the end with an echo. The piece plays when John-117 destroys the reactors of ''High Charity'' and escapes the [[Flood hive]], then continues into the ending cinematic in which John-117, Cortana, and [[Thel 'Vadam]] escape ''High Charity'' on a [[D77H-TCI Pelican]].

| ==Production notes== | | ==Additional Links== |
| The name ''Keep What You Steal'' is derived from Cortana's quote from the campaign level ''[[The Covenant (level)|The Covenant]]'': "I'm a thief... but I keep what I steal." It was later reference in the piece ''Keeping What I Steal'' (from the track ''[[Nightfall (music)|Nightfall]]'' in ''Halo: Reach Original Soundtrack'').
