The Citadel.

Sshhit.

I'm still only on the Citadel.

Every time I think I'm going to wake up back in the Terminus System. When I was home on Earth, it was worse. I'd wake up and there's be nothing...

I hardly said a word to Miranda until I said yes to a divorce. When I was here I wanted to be there. When I was there, all I could think of was getting back into space.

I've been on the station for a week now. Waiting for news of Project Lazarus, getting softer. Every minute I stay on this station I get weaker. And every minute the Reapers are still out there, getting stronger.

Each time I look around, the walls move in a little tighter.

Everyone gets everything he wants. I wanted Shepard, and for my sins, I got him. Brought to me like room service.

I was going to send a team into the worst place in the galaxy, and I didn't even know it yet. Weeks away and hundreds of light years through the Omega Relay that snaked through the galactic core and plugged straight into the Collectors. There is no way to tell Shepard's story without telling my own. And if his story is really a confession, then so is mine.

The engineer, a quarian, the one they called Tali, was from the Migrant Fleet. She was wrapped too tight for the Terminus system, probably wrapped too tight for the Migrant Fleet.

Garrus on the forward beam weapons was a famous C-Sec officer from the Presidium level of the Citadal. You look at him and you wouldn't believe he ever fired a weapon in his whole life.

Grunt, Mr. Grunt, was from DMZ Krogan ****hole. Light and space of the Terminus system really put the zap on his crest.

Then there was Shepard, the Commander. It might have been my mission,

but it sure as **** was the Commander's boat

You haven't seen apoclypse now?

I thought the masseffect fan base would be old enough to get this.

I remember this movie, but it was just entirely too slow paced for my liking. Yes, im sure it is in it's own right a very good film. Just not enough action to sit through with a beer in your hand.

the mass effect fanbase includes the casual shooter crowd now as per bioware's mainstreaming. so yeah, expect ignorance of everything made before 2000.

I love this, how can you not love this? Your only excuse is if you are under the age of 18.

I must admit, I wouldn't have picked up on it without the title of the topic. One of my favorite movies of all time, plus I am a huge fan of Brando. I see references to Redux is the replies though, as the original didn't have the french farmer. The last line gave me the epiphany.

I've seen horrors... horrors that you've seen. But you have no right to call me a murderer. You have a right to kill me. You have a right to do that... but you have no right to judge me. It's impossible for words to describe what is necessary to those who do not know what horror means. Horror... Horror has a face... and you must make a friend of horror. Horror and moral terror are your friends. If they are not, then they are enemies to be feared. They are truly enemies! I remember when I was with Special Forces... seems a thousand centuries ago. We went into a camp to inoculate some children. We left the camp after we had inoculated the children for polio, and this old man came running after us and he was crying. He couldn't see. We went back there, and they had come and hacked off every inoculated arm. There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms. And I remember... I... I... I cried, I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out; I didn't know what I wanted to do! And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it... I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought, my God... the genius of that! The genius! The will to do that! Perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline, pure. And then I realized they were stronger than we, because they could stand that these were not monsters, these were men... trained cadres. These men who fought with their hearts, who had families, who had children, who were filled with love... but they had the strength... the strength... to do that. If I had ten divisions of those men, our troubles here would be over very quickly. You have to have men who are moral... and at the same time who are able to utilize their primordial instincts to kill without feeling... without passion... without judgment... without judgment! Because it's judgment that defeats us.





Best. Monologue. Ever.
