Password-lacking Marine

The Password-Lacking Marine is a Halo 3 Easter egg. In the level Crow's Nest, there is a Marine at the end of the first long, curved corridor. There is a funny exchange of words between this Marine, who needs ammunition for himself and his comrades, and someone behind a door that leads to an armory. The exact discussion changes depending on difficulty, but it always involves this Marine trying to get through the door without a password that is intended to keep Brutes from entering. Either he forgot or never knew about it. They're voiced and possibly written by the creators and voices of Red vs Blue. At the end of each conversation, the Marine repeatedly and continually knocks the door. Interestingly, the man behind the door does not even bother to check the security camera- even though a sign next to the door clearly indicates there is one. Although, if you kill him he drops an Assault Rifle which is funny as he says he needs ammunition and it had 156 ammo for me. waL8K2SGR1M

Marine (Tucker's voice): Hey, open up!

Voice (Doc's voice): Password, please.

Marine: You gotta be kidding me! What password?

Voice: The password so we don't open the door for Brutes.

Marine: Do I sound like a Brute to you?!

Voice: Well, you could be held prisoner by Brutes.

Marine: If I was held prisoner by Brutes and knew the password, then the Brutes could just force me to tell you the password and you'd open the door for them.

[Brief pause]

Voice: Okay, well now I'm definitely not gonna open the door.

Marine: But we need ammo!

Voice: Well why don't you go ask your Brute buddies, then?

Trivia

 * Each time, the characters are voiced by a different set of Red vs. Blue actors. On Easy and Normal, it is Jason Saldaña (Tucker) and Matt Hullum (Doc). On Heroic, it is Geoff Ramsey (Grif) and Gustavo Sorola (Simmons). On Legendary, it is Burnie Burns (Church) and Joel Heyman (Caboose). The character models for the Marines change as well.
 * If you listen carefully on Ledgendary difficulty the man behind the is is voiced by Joel Heyman the voice actor for Caboose, Caboose has extreme stupidity and if you listen to the man behind the door you will find out that he dosen't know that the man banging on the door forgot the password telling the player that he has the exact same stupidity as Caboose besides the same voice.
