Jean Roqua:
[Jake is considering going to the Beatdown] Do this and you can never come back in my gym again. I let you get away with it once, not twice.
Jake Tyler:
Wait! You think this is what I want? To never train with you again? Just to give some asshole the show that he's looking for?
Jean Roqua:
Then stop! Let it go.
Jake Tyler:
The night my dad died, I just let him drive. I didn't even try to stop him. Doing nothing has consequences too.
Jean Roqua:
You cannot live in the past, my friend.
Jake Tyler:
Really? If you could go back, and stop the guy who shot your brother.
Jean Roqua:
Don't push me.
Jake Tyler:
I know you would've fought that guy. I know...
Jean Roqua:
You know nothing! Seven years. Seven years, I've not seen my family. My friends. And every day, like the day before, I wake up, wash my face, look myself in the mirror, disgusted.
Jake Tyler:
Why not go back?
Jean Roqua:
And face my father? The last time he spoke to me, he said both of his sons died that night.
Jake Tyler:
Well if that's what you believe, then he was right. You gave up. Sometimes fighting the fight means that you have to do the one thing you don't want to do. You have to fight for his forgiveness. You can't just hide here forever. At least I can't. I'm gonna stop this guy. Win, lose, it makes no difference. It ends tonight. This is my fight. Everyone's got one.
Jean Roqua:
Jake, no matter what happens, control the outcome. It's on you.
Jake Tyler:
Always has been.
Collins, Mark, Mimi, Angel:
[Sung] I can't control
Roger Davis:
[Sung] Control your temper
Collins, Mark, Mimi, Angel:
[Sung] My destiny
Roger Davis:
[Sung] She doesn't see
Collins, Mark, Mimi, Angel:
[Sung] I trust my soul
Roger Davis:
[Sung] Who says that there's a soul
Collins, Mark, Mimi, Angel:
[Sung] My only goal, is just to be
Roger Davis:
Just let me be!
Collins, Mark, Mimi, Angel:
[Sung in time with Roger] There's only now, there's only here. Give into love, or live in fear. No other path, no other way. No day but today.
Roger Davis:
[Sung] Who do you think you are? Barging in on me and my guitar. Little girl hey, the door is that way.
Mimi:
[Sung] No day but today.
Roger Davis:
[Sung] The fire's dead anyway.
Collins, Mark, Mimi, Angel:
[Sung] No day but today.
Roger Davis:
[Sung] Take your powder, take your candle.
Collins, Mark, Mimi, Angel:
[Sung] No day but today.
Roger Davis:
[Sung] Take your brown eyes, your pretty smile, your silouette.
Collins, Mark, Mimi, Angel:
[Sung] No day but today.
Roger Davis:
[Sung] Another time, another place, another round, a warm embrace.
Collins, Mark, Mimi, Angel:
[Sung] No day but today.
Roger Davis:
[Sung] Another dance another way, another chance, another day
Collins, Mark, Mimi, Angel:
[Sung] No day but today.
Cortana:
[at the Control Room control panel] There, try that.
The Master Chief:
[the Master Chief puts Cortana's AI chip into the panel] You okay?
Cortana:
Never been better! You can't imagine the wealth of knowledge here. So much so fast! It's glorious!
The Master Chief:
So, what kind of weapon is it?
Cortana:
What are you talking about?
The Master Chief:
Let's stay focused, now. Halo; how do we use it against the Covenant?
Cortana:
This ring isn't a cudgel, you barbarian, it's something else. Something much more important. Gimme a second to access... Yes, this ring, it's forerunner. The forerunner built this ring, what they call a fortress world, in order to... Wait... no, that can't be... Oh, those Covenant fools! They must have known! There must have been signs!
The Master Chief:
Slow down; you're losin' me.
Cortana:
The Covenant found something, buried in this ring, something terrible, and now, they're afraid.
The Master Chief:
Something buried? Wha...
Cortana:
THE CAPTAIN! WE'VE GOT TO STOP THE CAPTAIN!
The Master Chief:
Keyes?
Cortana:
The weapons cache he's looking for it's not really... it doesn't really exist!
The Master Chief:
[tired and confused] I don't understa...
Cortana:
-There's no time! Get out of here, find Keyes, stop him! [the Master Chief runs out of the room]
Cortana:
BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!
Aristotle:
Although an inferior race, the Persians control at least four fifths of the known world. But, is it possible that the source of Egypt's mighty river Nile could rise in these distant mountains of the outer Earth? If so, an experienced navigator could find his way here, by this river, east, down into the great plains of India, out into the eastern ocean and end of the world, and by this route, up the Nile, back to Egypt, into the Middle Sea and home to Greece.
Alexander Haig:
Constitutionally, gentlemen, you have the President, the Vice President and the Secretary of State in that order, and should the President decide he wants to transfer the helm to the Vice President, he will do so. He has not done that. As of now, I am in control here, in the White House, pending return of the Vice President and in close touch with him. If something came up, I would check with him, of course.
Brodie:
You have my Punisher War Journal #6, my copy of "Fletch" and the remote control to my TV. Now, I know it's going to be hard to give this stuff up because of it's sentimental attachment...
Rene:
Sentimental attachment? Look, if I have any of that crap it's because you brought it over my house and left it there.
Brodie:
Okay, then let's talk about coming up with a schedule for visitation rights.
Rene:
For what?
Brodie:
For the mall. I figure you can take the odd days, I'll take the even days and weekends. When there's any special feature like a sidewalk sale...
Rene:
[interrupting] Brodie, Brodie...
Brodie:
...or a boat show...
Rene:
[interrupting] Brodie! I've always taken you with a grain of salt. On your birthday, when you told me to do a striptease to the theme of "Mighty Mouse", I said okay. On prom night at the hotel when you told me to sleep under the bed in case your mother burst in, I did it. And even during my grandmother's funeral when you told my relatives that you could see her nipples through her burial dress, I let that slide.
Rene:
[Grabs Brodie by the ear] But if you think I'm gonna suffer any of your shit with a smile now that we're broken up, you're in for some serious fucking disappointment!
Wendy Christensen:
Julie? I need, I need help. I have such guilt over Jason. I should never have let that ride go. You know usually I'm such a control freak but I didn't do enough to stop it, I should have done everything I could to stop it. And I wish I could have another chance, but I never can. I don't wanna someday feel that way about you, Julie. Y'know I can't talk to Mom and Dad. You're all I have left. You think when I get a place you could come stay with me for while?
Julie Christensen:
You know I will! You take this, and I'll come get it when I visit you. And hey, on your end, do you mind if I borrow the school camera for graduation tonight?
Wendy Christensen:
Ah, sure, as long as you promise to bring it back to school on Monday.
Julie Christensen:
Done!
Wendy Christensen:
Oh, the battery is pretty low, so why don't you finish getting ready and I'll charge it up a bit for you.
Julie Christensen:
Cool.
[the Monitor hits the floor after the Chief inserts the Index into the core and Cortana arise from the hologram panel in a foul mood]
Cortana:
I have been cooped up in here for twelve hours watching you toatie about helping that thing get set to slit our throats!
The Master Chief:
Hold on now, he's a friend.
Cortana:
[Sarcastically] Oh! I didn't realize! Is he your pal? Is he your chum? DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THAT BASTARD ALMOST MADE YOU DO?
The Master Chief:
Yeeessss; activate Halo's defenses and destroy the Flood, which is why we brought the Index to the control center.
Cortana:
You mean this? [Holds up the Index]
343 Guilty Spark:
A construct in the core? That is absolutely unacceptable!
Cortana:
Sawed off!
343 Guilty Spark:
Why... I shall purge you at once!
Cortana:
You sure that's a good idea? [the Index vanishes from her hands]
343 Guilty Spark:
Why I-I...
Cortana:
-Do what? I have the Index! YOU CAN JUST FLOAT AND SPUTTER!
The Master Chief:
[to both] Enough! [turns to Cortana]
The Master Chief:
The Flood is spreading. If we activate Halo's defenses, we can wipe them out.
Cortana:
You have no idea how this ring works, do you? Why the Forerunners built it? Halo doesn't kill Flood, IT KILLS THEIR FOOD! Humans, Covenant, whatever; we're all equally edible. The only way to stop the Flood is to starve them to death, and that's EXACTLY what Halo is designed to do; wipe the galaxy clean of all sentient life. You don't believe me? Ask HIM. [points to the Monitor]
The Master Chief:
[turns to the Monitor with a serious demeanor] Is it true?
343 Guilty Spark:
...More or less. Technically, this installation's pulse has a maximum effective radius of up to 25,000 light years. But, once others follow suit, this galaxy will be quite devoid of life. Or, at least any life with sufficient biomass to sustain the Flood. But you already knew that. I mean... how couldn't you?
Cortana:
Left out that little detail, did he?
343 Guilty Spark:
[to the Chief] We followed outbreak procedure to the letter. You were with me each step of the way as we managed this crisis.
Cortana:
[bows her head] I'm tracking movement, we have to go!
343 Guilty Spark:
[still talking to the Chief] Why would you hesitate to do what you've already done?
Cortana:
We have to go! We have to move now!
343 Guilty Spark:
[four Sentinels appear behind him] Last time you asked me, if it were my choice, would I do it? Having had considerable time to ponder your querey, my answer has not changed. [the Chief grabs Cortana's chip and jams it into his helmet]
343 Guilty Spark:
If you are unwilling to help, I will simply find another. But still, I must have the Index.
Cortana:
[to the Chief] Get... us... out of here!
343 Guilty Spark:
Surrender your construct, or I will be forced to take it from you.
The Master Chief:
[through his teeth] That's not going to happen!
343 Guilty Spark:
So be it. [to the Sentinels]
343 Guilty Spark:
Save his head, dispose of the rest. [the Monitor flies away, leaving the Chief and Cortana to the tender mercies of the Sentinels]
Girls:
Mayor?
Buttercup:
We brought your candy back.
Bubbles:
And Mojo too! See? He... wasn't... really... bad after all. It...
Blossom:
We're sorry, Mayor.
Bubbles:
We want to apologize.
Blossom:
Okay, you don't have to look at us, but at least hear us out. You see, we convinced Mojo to commit crimes.
Buttercup:
Then we could save the day...
Bubbles:
...and get rewarded with candy.
Blossom:
But then Mojo and the candy got the better of us.
Buttercup:
We were out of control
Bubbles:
We're sorry.
Mayor:
And you yelled at me!
Girls:
We're sorry.
Mayor:
You poor girls, caught up in all that!
Blossom:
So you forgive us?
Mayor:
Well, you did make a mistake, but you realized what wrong you caused and set things right by telling the truth. And for that, you deserve a reward!
Blossom:
Oh, Mayor, after all the trouble we caused?
Mayor:
All righty, if that's the way you feel.
Blossom:
Maybe just one piece.
Picard:
What you're about to do, Soran, is no different from when the Borg destroyed your world. They killed millions too.
Dr. Soran:
[smiles, sighs] Nice try. You know there was a time that I wouldn't hurt a fly. Then the Borg came and they showed me that if there is one constant in this universe, it's death. Afterwards, I began to realize that it didn't matter. We're all going to die sometime. It's only a question of how and when. You will too, Captain. Don't you feel time gaining on you? [enters control room of missle launcher]
Dr. Soran:
It's like a predator; it's stalking you. Oh,you can try and outrun it with doctors, medicines, new technologies but in the end, time is going to hunt you down... and make the kill.
Picard:
It's our mortality that defines us, Soran. It's the truth of our existence.
Dr. Soran:
What if I told you I found a new truth?
Picard:
The Nexus?
Dr. Soran:
Time has no meaning there. The predator has no teeth.
