Shepard: You can't handle the truth! Son, we live in a universe that has walls. And those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Councilor? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Dr. Kenson and you curse me. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Dr. Kenson's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives...You don't want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You need me on that wall.
We use words like honor, code, loyalty...we use these words as the backbone to a life spent defending something. You use 'em as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it! I'd rather you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to!

Turian Councillor: A race of sentient starships? That is inconceivable!!!
Shepard: You use that word a lot. I don't think it means what you think it means.
Kai Leng: Yep, hand to hand combat is the old school way to kill your enemies. Killing a alien with your bare hands says 'We're all equals as men' except I'm slightly more equal because I'm still alive and your dead. Of course dropping a nuke on them from 50 thousand feet is totally acceptable. I mean let's face it, there just not enough time in this world to show everybody the courtesy of a good strangling

(Indoctrinated Admiral Hackett) In today's briefing, Commander Shepard tells us what we must do if we wish to survive the Reaper invasion...
Or something like that. Shepard sure says alot of stuff from the Normandy. Reaper this, Cerberus that, Saren hit me with a whiffleball bat
Eh hehe eh heh Eh hehe eh heh
Yep, the Shepard sure did say a bunch of hibbity-jibbity. But has he ever really done anything for us? Has he ever put a mass relay in my driveway? Has he ever given any of the councillors the herpes? No. He hasn't done a damn thing for any of us.
(Thane stands up)
Shepard gave my son the strength to get off crime! Hackett: Geico, I know your son, and believe me, he was better off on crime. He's a bore. At least when he was smoking hallex, he made me laugh occasionally.
(Kal'Reegar and a pregnant Tali stand up) KR: After we tried for several hours, Commander Shepard finally helped my wife conceive a baby. Hackett: No, your best friend Garrus helped your wife conceive a baby. He helped her conceive it all. Night. Long.

They fly'n through yo relays,
They reap'n yo people up,
Try'n to reap us,
so hide yo ships,
hide yo planets,
hide yo minerals,
cuz dey reap'n errybody out here
Garrus: You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - The most famous of which is "never get involved in a land war in the Terminus Systems" - but only slightly less well-known is this: "Never go against a Turian when death is on the line"

Shepard: I will not sacrifice the Normandy. We've made too many compromises already, too many retreats. They invade our space, and we fall back. They reap entire worlds, and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, and no farther! And I will make them pay for what they've done!

Ashley: Shepard, I love you but we have only fourteen hours to save the earth!
(Cookie for anyone who knows where the last quote is from )
Tali: So Garrus, what's the hardest part for a doctor to when treating rocket wounds to a Turian's face?
Garrus: Figuring out which side the rocket hit...
Tali: Never get's old.
