Quotes 

• [If you romanced Ashley in Mass Effect 1 and then romanced Tali in Mass Effect 2]

  Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : Thanks! I'm so glad you decided to help Shepard this time.

• [Tali is drinking at a bar] 

  Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : Shepard. Wanna drink? I'm toasting Miranda... I think.

  Commander Shepard - Male : How are you getting drunk?

  Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : Very carefully. Turian brandy, triple filtered, then introduced into the suit through an emergency induction port.

  Commander Shepard - Male : That's a straw, Tali.

  Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : Emergency induction port... It's actually getting a little harder to get it into the slot. I think that means it's working.

• Legion : Shepard-Commander, I must go to them. I'm... I'm sorry. It's the only way.

  Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : Legion, the answer to your question...

  Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : was 'yes'.

  Legion : I know, Tali, but thank you. Keelah se'lai.

  [Legion dies] 

• Garrus Vakarian : Too bad you weren't here earlier tali. We could've used you on Tuchanka.

  Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : I've heard. I can't believe the genophage is really cured.

  Garrus Vakarian : Shepherd is on a roll. I figure if we pulled that off, we've got a shot of sorting the geth out.

  Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : I don't know, the genophage didn't carry rifles and fight back.

  Garrus Vakarian : No but there was a scary bit with the mother of all tharsher maws.

  Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : The what?

  Garrus Vakarian : Long story. Nobody will believe it anyway.

  Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : With You, Garrus, I'd believe just about anything.

  Garrus Vakarian : Oh? We should play poker sometime. Anyway it's good to have you back. Now, believe it or not, this damn gun still needs calibrating.

• Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : So you're a real living prothean?

  Javik : As opposed to a fake dead one?

  [silence] 

  Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : Uh... okay.

• Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : I appreciate what you're doing here, Shepard.

  Commander Shepard - Male : Well, I care deeply about the Quarian people.

  Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : It's good to be back on the Normandy.

  Commander Shepard - Male : Let me know if it's too quiet for you to sleep, and I'll find you someplace louder.

  Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : Hmmm...

  Javik : I don't understand.

  EDI : Shepard and Tali became physically intimate during their fight against the Reapers.

  Javik : Mating between species? A pointless exercise.

  Commander Shepard - Male : Thank you, EDI.

• Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : 67: holmium. Very reactive, very magnetic!

  Garrus Vakarian : You know, turian parties don't usually end with someone reciting the elements.

  Lieutenant Samantha Traynor : 68: erbium. Atomic weight: 167 and change!

  Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : Right, my turn. 69...

  Jack : In your dreams!

  Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : What? I don't get it.

  Lieutenant Samantha Traynor : I'll explain later.

  Garrus Vakarian : It's thulium in case anyone cared. Turians have trace amounts of it in our skin. Protects us from solar radiation.

  Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : Nerrrrrrrrd!

• Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : EDI. So... a body?

  EDI : It has proven useful. I hope it doesn't cause you concern.

  Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : Hmm.

  Garrus Vakarian : Uh, I was there when you two had your thing, remember? Just get a room and work it out.

• Garrus Vakarian : Good to have you back, Tali. Maybe with another dextro aboard, they'll get better turian food.

  Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : As long as it's sterilized.

  Garrus Vakarian : Dr. Michel did get me some dextro-amino chocolate. You're welcome to it once we're back.

  Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : She got you turian chocolate?

  Garrus Vakarian : She said she saw it and thought of me. Why?

  Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : [Coyly]  Oh, nothing...

• Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : I'm not staying. I'm coming with you.

  Commander Shepard - Male : I wasn't going to ask.

  Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : Why not?

  Commander Shepard - Male : Because I respect you, damn it! You think I don't want you to come with me?

  Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : So ask me!

  Commander Shepard - Male : Tali...

  Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : I don't know how much time we have left. I don't know if we can beat the Reapers. But whatever happens, I want to be with you.

  Commander Shepard - Male : I bet you say that to every guy who gets you a homeworld.

  Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : Only the cute ones.

• Commander Shepard clone - Female : Now, if you'll excuse me, the Normandy needs its captain. So... I should go.

  Maya Brooks - Citadel DLC : Farewell, Commander. I guess this is where "legends" go to die.

  Urdnot Wrex : Refresh my memory: Didn't we used to win these things back in the old days?

  Commander Shepard - Female : She said, "I should go." Do I sound like that?

  Urdnot Wrex : As long as I've known you, yeah.

  Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : Shouldn't we be worrying about the impenetrable vault we've been sealed inside forever?

  Commander Shepard - Female : How come nobody told me this before? I'm open to feedback here.

  Urdnot Wrex : Well, I thought all humans said it, like some weird Earth custom or something.

• Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : I appreciate what you're doing here, Shepard.

  Commander Shepard - Male : Well, I care deeply about the quarian people.

  Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : It's good to be back on the Normandy.

  Commander Shepard - Male : Let me know if it's too quiet for you to sleep, and I'll find you someplace louder.

  Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : Hmm.

  Lt. James Vega : Okay, what am I missing?

  EDI : Shepard and Tali became physically intimate during their fight against the Collectors.

  Lt. James Vega : Too much information.

• Garrus Vakarian : So, Shepard, you can serve this swill but can you drink it?

  Commander Shepard - Male : Someone has to drive you all home.

  Lieutenant Samantha Traynor : Are we sure the Normandy is still there? Has anyone else tried to steal it?

  Kasumi Goto : [Uncloaks behind Traynor]  Stealing the Normandy? Now there's an idea!

  [Cloaks again] 

  Lieutenant Samantha Traynor : Wait, what? Who?

  Commander Shepard - Male : Traynor, you still have your toothbrush?

  Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : We can always *hic* get another Normandy. Call up *hic* Cerberus, and ask them to please build us the SR-3.

  Samara : But wouldn't that require you to change your name? Tali'Zorah von Normandy SR-3?

  Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : It's VAS Normandy. *hic* Von means "one who has a weak bladder." Which feels appropriate right about now.

  Garrus Vakarian : We've seen a lot of good times on the old girl.

  Dr. Liara T'Soni : That we have.

  Samara : Indeed.

  Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : Hear, hear.

  Lieutenant Samantha Traynor : Some of you more than others. I'm just honored to have squeaked in.

  Commander Shepard - Male : To the Normandy.

• Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : When I was a quarian on Pilgirmage, I used to walk by that sushi place and watch the fish through the window. I knew they would never let me inside, but I told myself, someday, when I've proven my worth to the galaxy, I'll go there for dinner... And then, you broke their floor.

  Commander Shepard - Male : Do they even serve food for you there?

  Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : Not the point, Shepard!

• Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : [Drunk at the bar on the Normandy; if she's in a relationship with Shepard]  I'm having a drink with my boyfriend. My human boyfriend. Ha! My father would've hated you.

• Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : I remember first meeting Shepard. All I kept thinking was, "I hope he took a shower, because my filter needs replacing, and humans carry a lot of germs."

  Dr. Liara T'Soni : I'm guessing that's not what you think anymore.

  Lieutenant Samantha Traynor : Well, she may still picture him in the shower.

• Commander Shepard - Male : Legends can be good or bad. Which are we?

  Maya Brooks - Citadel DLC : You're the kind that people look up to. The kind they owe their lives to.

  Urdnot Wrex : Then how come everyone's always shooting at us?

  Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : I think it's mostly you, Wrex. The bigger the target, the bigger the, uh... target.

  Urdnot Wrex : You're saying I've gained weight?

  Dr. Liara T'Soni : It just means there's more of the legend to love.

• Commander Shepard - Male : Tali's our expert on Geth hardware. She'll be handling hacking and security.

  Lt. James Vega : Nice to meet you, Sparks.

  Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : Sparks?

  Lt. James Vega : Yeah, you've got lights in your... uh... and you're kind of small and jumpy.

  [Awkward silence] 

  Lt. James Vega : It just came out.

  Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : If you say so.

• Urdnot Wrex : All right, everyone. Uncle Urdnot is back in town, and he brought the boom!

  Commander Shepard - Male : Is that a catch phrase or something, Wrex?

  Urdnot Wrex : Thought I'd try it out, see what you think!

  Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : Try again!

• Urdnot Wrex : You been practising with that shotgun? Still remember the fast-reloading trick I showed you?

  Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : You know, I've taken care of myself for the past few years.

  Urdnot Wrex : I know. I'm old and I worry, even though my favorite quarian's all grown up and killing Reapers.

  Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : You're like the crazy head-butting uncle I never had.

• Garrus Vakarian : So is this the Traynor-Shepard love nest? I hope we aren't interrupting anything you two might have been... planning.

  Lieutenant Samantha Traynor : Oh, we don't plan that kind of thing. We're all about spontaneity, losing ourselves in the... uh. Right, we were just playing chess.

  Tali'Zorah vas Normandy : So, "checkmate" takes on a new meeting, I guess?
