00:06 *Soldier*"John."
00:06 *John*"What are your orders, sir?"
00:09 *Soldier*"Hold my hand."
00:13 *Soldier*"Gunny."
00:19 *Gunny*"Attention all men!"
00:21 *Soldier*"Bring it in."
00:25 *Soldier*"Root in center! Don't turn!"
00:28 *Soldier*"Move in!"
00:32 *Soldier*"You know what I see? I see some hard-ass Marines. What I do not see is doubt, I do not see defeat in this room, and I do not see surrender."
00:52 *Soldiers*"No, sir!"
00:56 *Soldier*"I look at your faces, I see the very best of who we are as a people. You fought with courage, you fought with heart, you fought with love for your brothers and sisters in arms. There's nothing left for any one of you to prove. You're the finest Marines I've ever seen, and you deserve the truth.
01:23 *Soldier*"The enemy is at our gates. Their numbers are overwhelming. We will not be able to hold them back forever. Any Marine who makes this stand with us will not survive the day.
01:48 *Soldier*"But you will not make that stand alone. John? John?
02:01 *Soldier*"It is my honor to introduce to you John-117, you know him as Master Chief. Today he needs no armor. Today all he needs is the warrior inside of him. And it's the same warrior that's in each of you. The one that is willing to lay down your life for your home.
02:26 *Soldier*"For every moment that we hold the enemy at bay, more innocent people can escape on the transports. And when they do, they will go forth and tell the story that you write today. You will be remembered as the brave women and men who laid down their lives so that one day our children may live without fear of this monster we call war.
02:54 *Soldier*"I'll show those scaly bastards they fucked with the wrong planet!"
03:03 *Crowd cheers*
03:09 *Soldier*"Fall out! Take your positions!"
03:12 *Soldier*"Fall out formation!"
03:14 *Soldier*"Supreme Commander!"
03:16 *Soldier*"Supreme Commander!"
03:23 *Soldier*"I'm glad you're here."
03:25 *Soldier*"Yes sir."
03:26 *Soldier*"No John, what matters?"
03:29 *Soldier*"Your comms, sir. Comms Admiral."
03:33 *Soldier*"What are you doing?"
03:38 *Soldier*"Why does it look like I'm doing? Stripes don't mean shit today. Get me my gun."
03:42 *Soldier*"No sir. We can't afford to lose you. This won't be the end. There's more fights to come after this and we're gonna need good people like you to lead us."
03:51 *Soldier*"John, I'm still getting the orders here."
03:53 *Soldier*"And we need you to keep giving the orders or else it's gonna be people like Akerson. Now please, get those civilians out of here."
04:01 *Soldier*"What about you?"
04:05 *Soldier*"I'm where I'm supposed to be."
04:08 *Soldier*"Make it count."
04:21 *Soldier*"You bet your ass, sir."
