Halo Infinite (2021 Video Game)

Jen Taylor: The Weapon, Cortana, Dr. Halsey

Quotes 

• The Weapon : Where are all these skimmers coming from?

  The Master Chief : Is that what we're calling them?

  The Weapon : Well, I was also considering "flying octopus monkeys".

  The Master Chief : Skimmers it is, then.

• Cortana : [off-screen]  They'll pair you with another AI. Maybe even another Cortana model if Halsey lets them. It won't be me...

  [the Chief slowly turns and sees a holographic projection of Cortana] 

  Cortana : ... but you know that, right? But that doesn't matter.

  The Weapon : It's just another echo.

  Cortana : She's right, John. Just another echo.

  [laughs slightly] 

  Cortana : Sorry, I'm messing with you. I just had a... feeling that's what she would say.

  [the Chief takes a few steps forward, holding the Weapon in his outstretched hand] 

  Cortana : 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.

  [smiles ruefully] 

  Cortana : 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 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.

• Echo-216 : Is *everyone* trying to kill you?

  The Weapon : It kinda seems like it.

  [beat] 

  The Weapon : Oh, you were being sarcastic.

  [to Chief] 

  The Weapon : He's fun. I like him!

• The Weapon : What were those flying things?

  The Master Chief : New. Dangerous.

  The Weapon : And Despondent Pyre?

  The Master Chief : New. Potentially dangerous.

  The Weapon : [wryly]  See? You *can* be optimistic.
