Halo 2 Scripted Dialog

• "When we joined the Covenant, we took an oath!" - Speaking to the troops on Phantom.
• "On the blood of our fathers, on the blood of our sons! We swore to uphold the Covenant!"
• "Those who would break this oath are Heretics, worthy of neither pity, nor mercy! Even now they use our lords' creations to broadcast their lies!"
• "And continue our march to glorious salvation!"
• "This armor suits you. But it cannot hide that mark." - to the Arbiter.
• "You are the Arbiter, the will of the Prophets. But these are my Elites. Their lives matter to me. Yours does not."
• "We'll be long gone before it arrives." - About a storm near the Gas Mine.
• "Warriors, prepare for combat!"
• "We are the arm of the Prophets, Arbiter, and you are the blade. Be silent and swift, and we shall quell this heresy without incident." - At the beginning of The Arbiter level.
• "The storm has masked our approach and it should have their local Battlenet in disarray. We have the element of surprise . .. For now."
• "You may wish to do the same, Arbiter, but take heed: your armor's system is not as ... new as ours. Your camouflage will not last forever." - About Arbiter's ActivCam.
• "The heretics are mobilizing their air forces, Arbiter. Get after their leader, but watch your back! I'm sending one of our Phantoms to support you." - After Sesa 'Refumee flied of with a Heretic Banshee.
• "No sign of the Heretic Leader - or his Banshee. We must keep searching!"

• "Stand firm! The Flood!" - When the Flood Infection Forms starting to appear.
• "Go, Arbiter! I'll follow when our reinforcements arrive."
• "Bring the Phantoms closer to the mine. We're not leaving until the leader of these Heretics is dead. Arbiter, the Flood have spread throughout the station! We don't have enough troops to manage such a large infestation. Find the leader of these Heretics, kill him now!" - to the Phantom Pilot, later to the Arbiter, on The Oracle level.
• "Arbiter, where is he? Stinking Floodbait boxed himself in tight. We'll never break through this!" - When Sesa 'Refumee escaped.
• "Warriors, return to the landing zone! The Arbiter is going to continue up through this station, cut the cable, and scare the Heretic from his hole!" - To his troops.

• "Are you still alive, Arbiter? We're keeping pace as best we can."

• "This is unprecedented... Unacceptable." - To the Prophet of Truth, after changing the Guard.
