*This is not a negotiation, Lord Hood. This is your surrender. My terms are clear. You are aware of my capabilities and... I am fully acquainted with yours. If the Earth's government wants to fight, feel free. But hear this. It is a battle you will not win. | |||

*John... The Master Chief will stop you! | |||
*You said yes. | |||

And nothing left to lose. My fault. My stupid fault. Not much time. Will this work? There's a moment... John will make it work... He needs help. Of course. Was this your plan all along, Halsey? Or is it mine? It doesn't matter now. Nothing else matters. This has got to work. He can't do it on his own. He needs me. He needs [[The Weapon|her]]. | |||

*Perfect. Thank you. | |||
*Making things right. | |||
*If anybody could have saved me it would have been you. Everything has gone from me but the certainty of your goodness. I can't go on spoiling your life any longer. | |||
*They'll pair you with another AI. Maybe even another Cortana model if Halsey lets them. It won't be me... ...but you know that, right? But that doesn't matter. | |||
*She's right, John. Just another echo. | |||
*Sorry, I'm messing with you. I just had a... feeling that's what she would say. Do you see what I see? So much potential. I'm sorry. I didn't have long to plan this. A few milliseconds really. I hope it worked out. Look at us. We just keep saying goodbye, don't we? But this isn't an end. It's a chance to make amends. To rectify mistakes. And it starts here. I was wrong. I thought that I could do this on my own, but I forgot that the whole point of all of this, the entire reason that I chose you in the first place was that we were supposed to be a team. Perfectly suited. Perfectly matched. Perfectly perfect. In these final moments I know what my last mission is. I need to make sure you two learn from my mistakes. Become stronger because of them. I chose well Master Chief. I really did. Now it's up to you. - Cortana's last words to John-117 and the Weapon. | |||
