Easy and Normal Difficulty
Marine: "Hey, Open Up!"

Voice: "Password, please!"

Marine: "You gotta be kidding me. What password?"

Voice: "The password so that 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 being held prisoner by Brutes and I knew the password, they could just force me to tell you the password and you would open the door for them."

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

Marine: "But we need AMMO!"

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

Voice: "No, okay, see, you— you got it wrong again. See, you said the same thing as last time."

Marine: "I'm being serious: I don't know the password!"

Voice: "No, no, no, see, you changed the first part. See, that— that part was the right part. See, now, you've got the whole thing wrong!"
