• Lasky: "She's only out here because of me."

• Lasky: "And we're soldiers. Not hitmen."

• Palmer: "Halsey knew what she was doing when she made friends with the bad guys."

• Lasky: "I'm serious. We..We shouldn't have to execute a civilian."

• Palmer: "No. But it has to be done. And I don't trust anyone else to do it right."

• Lasky: "There has to be another way. I..I mean-"

• Palmer: "I know what you mean Tom. And I won't see you court-marshalled over that woman."

• Lasky: "Sarah stand down!"

• Palmer: "Orders are orders Tom. This isn't my first rodeo."

• Lasky: "I don't suppose it is."

• Lasky: "Roland where's fireteam Majestic right now?"

HALO: INFINITY

• Madsen: "Roger."

• Lasky: "Fireteam Majestic. Doctor Glassman. Glad to see everyone alive and well."

• DeMarco: "Captain Lasky, wasn't expecting to see you here sir."

• Lasky: "Majestic, I have a personal favor to ask. Doctor Halsey has been abducted."

• Librarian: "Welcome."

• Halsey: "You...You are Librarian. Wife of Didact. There is a Covenant cultest leader outside. He thinks you have something valuable.

• Librarian: "He is correct. But what I have is not for him. It is for you. Catherine Halsey."

• Sangheili Storm: "(Sangheili) Intruder!"

• Thorne: "Majestic!"

• Grant: "Up here, Hinge-heads!!"

• DeMarco: "We got this! You get the old lady!"

• Librarian: "This is the Janus Key. It offers the real-time location of every piece of Forerunner technology in the galaxy.

• Halsey: "Every piece?"

• Librarian: "We did not create so much without a means to catalog it all. This was meant for my husband to help you people...when his meditation was complete."

• Librarian: "Take this key to the absolute record. Use what you find to propel humankind."

• Halsey: "Why give this to me?"

• Librarian: "Requiem's time is at an end. The key and what it details must not be lost."

• Jul 'Mdama: "(Sangheili) This is the Librarian's gift?"

• Jul 'Mdama: "(Sangheili) This is what we came for? Full of the Forerunner's secrets?"

• Halsey: "Thorne!!"

• Jul 'Mdama: "(Sangheili) Blasphemy! Kill the intruder!"

• Halsey: "Thorne take the key!"

• Thorne: "Commander Palmer?"

• Jul 'Mdama: "(Sangheili) Knights, protect me!"

• Halsey: "Ahhh."

• DeMarco: "Majestic engage!"

• Palmer: "No!!"

• Palmer: "What the hell are you guys doing here?!"

• DeMarco: "Captain Lasky sent us to rescue Doctor Halsey."

• Palmer: "Rescue her? She's a traitor!"

• Thorne: "All do respect commander. If she was on Jul' Mdama's side, then why would she make sure I get this before he could?"
