Halo 32007

Lord Hood:
[at the end of the game] For us, the storm has passed. The war is over. And let us never forget those who journeyed into the howling dark, and did not return. For their decision required courage beyond measure. Sacrifice, an unshakeable conviction that their fight... *our* fight... was elsewhere. As we start to rebuild, this hillside will remain barren, a memorial to heroes fallen. They enobled all of us, and they shall not be forgotten. [salutes the Marines]

Marine Sargent 1:
Present arms! [Marines draw Battle Rifles and fire a 21 bullet salute]

Lord Hood:
[later] I remember how this war started, what your kind did to mine. I can't forgive you, but you have my thanks... [shakes the Arbiter's hand]... for standing by him to the end. Hard to believe he's dead...

Arbiter:
Were it... so easy...
