Ashley: Shepard. Can I talk to you for a moment?
Shepard: Shoot.
Ashley: Why are you still with me?
Shepard: Because I happen to be walking in this direction as well.
Ashley: That's not what I meant, John.
Shepard: Then what?
Ashley: Why are you still with me, as my lover?
Shepard: Because I'm a loyal man.
Ashley: That's it?
Shepard: Do you need anything else?
Ashley: No... I suppose, but - what about that other woman, Miranda?
Shepard: What about her?
Ashley: I thought that you and her might have...
Shepard: *raise questioning eyebrow*
Ashley: I mean. I called you a 'traitor' back on Horizon. Damn near blew your brains out and did everything under the sun that should have destroyed all your feelings for me, but you're still with me instead of her. Why?
Shepard: Do you want a grand explanation? Or some tearful confession?
Ashley: If that's what it takes.
Shepard: Then, I'm sorry to disappoint. I'm a loyal man and if I'm not gonna run away from a woman just because she made a point - agressively, yes, but still a point.
Ashley: From the end of a gun barrel?
Shepard: Cerberus was playing you for a fool.
Ashley: Calling you a 'traitor'?
Shepard: Was forced into the role, but it's still true.
Ashley: Claiming you were a murderer?
Shepard: All soliders are just government-sancitioned murderers. Only difference is we're paid for it and it's 'for a good cause'.
Ashley: How in hell can you rationalise this so easily?!
Shepard: I've given up trying to be emotionally invested in most things a long time ago.
Ashley: But you're still with me, and still trying desperately to save humanity.
Shepard: It's a role to play. Sucks, but it's mine.
Ashley: Are you saying that being with me is a 'role'?
Shepard: No.
Ashley: That's not what you implied.
Shepard: Sorry. I'm pathetic with words.
Ashley: With all the speeches you give? I find that hard to believe.
Shepard: I give all those speeches, and would you believe I failed English at school?
