I love this scene... I lied, I love all scenes with Ashley (almost >_> )
Shepard: Hey, why the sad face?
Ashley: Sorry - was thinking about stuff.
Shepard: You seem to do that a lot lately. Lingering down there in the observatory deck, alone. Half of the crew is already wondering if you're alright.
Ashley: Yeah ...
Shepard: You are alright, hm?
Ashley: Skipper ...
Shepard: I used to have an open door policy back on the old Normandy. And I still have - you can talk to me, Ash.
Ashley: Well ... you asked for it. I'm unhappy. Unhappy of the little progress we make. Unhappy of every wasted minute we're not fighting Reapers. I ... feel restless. And useless. Spent too much time in the hospital and almost shot you. Hell, I accepted your offer to come back - but the truth is, I don't deserve to be here. I'm just here because of you. And not my skills. I'm not special. Remember what I said three years ago? I'm a grunt, a ground soldier with a gun. And we're fighting huge ancient machines killing thousands every minute ...
Shepard: I see ...
Ashley: Don't get me wrong, Skipper. I'm thankful you wanted me back. But truth is, I'm useless. You should have picked a more resourceful fellow, not the ordinary grunt that lost her squad and the colony she was assigned to protect.
Shepard: I don't know why you say that, Ash. All I can say is, you're no longer the "ordinary grunt". You're a competent soldier and an outstanding sniper - and you're a Spectre. That speaks for you-
Ashley: Udina made me to a Spectre. For his own goals - I was just a tool for him. And I doubt the Council has any use for a Spectre that shot one of them.
Shepard: Well - that case is closed. I talked to the Council.
Ashley: And ...?
Shepard: You're still a Spectre. Taking down Udina to protect the rest of the Council was a difficult decison - but the right one. They can't see any reason to revoke your Spectre status for doing your duty.
Ashley: Skip ... to be honest, that Spectre status didn't mean that much to me.
Shepard: You could use it and take command of your own ship, if you like. So it should mean something to you.
Ashley: I'm no Skipper - you know that. I want to stay here, with you.
Shepard: You're more than welcome. Ash - stop feeling useless. You're not. You are one of the best - and you're giving me a reason to fight. And the crew values you as well. Don't put yourself down, you deserve better.
Ashley: Thanks ... thanks for the pep talk.
Shepard: You're welcome, Ash. Always.
Ashley: One question, Skipper ... your offer to move in ... do you still want that?
Shepard: If you stop retreating to the Observatory Deck, my cabin is your cabin. Deal?
Ashley: Deal.
Shepard: Then pack your stuff. I expect you moving in until 8pm *smiles*
