* "This is what I was made for, isn't it? This is why I exist? Alright. Let's do this!" -- [[spoiler:the Helios ending]] Followed up with a quote from Voltaire: "If there was no God, it would be necessary to invent him."
* [[spoiler:Tracer Tong's ending]], with the enthusiasm in his voice, uplifting music, and a quote from Khalil Gibran: "Yesterday we obeyed kings and bent our necks before emperors. But today we kneel only to truth..." [[note]]The rest of the quote: "...follow only beauty, and obey only love."[[/note]]
* [[spoiler:The Illuminati ending]] {{Book End}}s the opening cutscene, with Morgan Everett giving JC one ''hell'' of a pep talk: "[[BadassCreed We are the Invisible Hand. We are the Illuminati. We come before and after. We are forever.]] And eventually... eventually we will lead them into the day."

-->'''JC Denton''': Well, since that makes you my new boss, take a good look at [[spoiler:Manderley's dead body]]. [[BondOneLiner Consider that my resignation. I don't have time to write a letter.]]
** Even if [[spoiler:Manderly]] is kept alive, JC is still able to drop a badass boast.

** When you get to Area 51, [[spoiler:if you ran from Walton Simons rather than confronting him at the Ocean Lab, he'll be there to greet you.]] JC's stoic retort is simple enough.
--->'''[[spoiler:Walton Simons]]''': You take another step forward and here I am again, like your own reflection in a hall of mirrors.\\

* The killphrases for [[spoiler:Anna Navarre and Gunther Hermann]], or rather, how JC uses them.
** JC to [[spoiler: Anna]]:
--->'''[[spoiler:Anna]]''': I will have to kill you myself.\\

'''[[spoiler:Anna]]''': How did you know...? ''[explodes]''
** And then to [[spoiler:Gunther]]:

'''[[spoiler: Gunther]]''': [[FunetikAksent You kno you vill be defeeted]].\\

'''[[spoiler: Gunther]]''': I am NOT a mashee---[[KilledMidSentence *twitch twitch*]]\\

'''[[spoiler: Gunther]]''': *[[LudicrousGibs LUDICROUS GIBS]]*

* [[spoiler:The Illuminati ending]] {{Book End}}s the opening cutscene, with Morgan Everett giving JC one ''hell'' of a pep talk: "[[BadassCreed We are the Invisible Hand.

* [[spoiler:Tracer Tong's ending]], with the enthusiasm in his voice, uplifting music, and a quote from Khalil Gibran: "Yesterday we obeyed kings and bent our necks before emperors. But today we kneel only to truth..."

* Consider this: MJ-12, and their predecessors, the Illuminati, have been scheming for years, ''decades'', perhaps ''centuries'' if Everett and Lucius [=DeBeers=] are to be believed. The conspirators have been accumulating power by subverting the academic, political and financial institutions of the world their entire lives. JC Denton starts as a rookie special agent on the pier of Liberty Island, with nothing but a pistol and an electric prod to his name. The only real advantage he has over a normal person is the modular nano-augmentation system he was literally built from the ground up to test - something that also allows the conspirators to both spy on him at any time and kill him within 24 hours at will. Within a couple of weeks, he's completely disassembled the entire worldwide conspiracy and brought its kingpin to the point of ''begging for his life''.

-->'''JC Denton''': I never had time to take the oath of service to the Coalition. How's this? [[BadassBoast I swear not to rest until UNATCO is free from you and the other crooked bureaucrats who have perverted its mission.]]

-->'''[[spoiler:Walton Simons]]''': You take another step forward and here I am again, like your own reflection in a hall of mirrors.
-->'''JC Denton''': That makes me one ''ugly'' son of a bitch.

-->'''Bob Page''': Soon, I will become pure energy. I will burn like the brightest star.
-->'''JC Denton''': You're gonna ''burn'', all right.

--> '''[[spoiler:Anna]]''': I will have to kill you myself.
--> '''JC''': Take your best shot, ''Flatlander Woman''.
--> '''[[spoiler:Anna]]''': How did you know...? ''[explodes]''

--> '''JC''': And I know something about you.
--> '''[[spoiler: Gunther]]''': [[FunetikAksent You kno you vill be defeeted]].
--> '''JC:''' I know your UNATCO killphrase: ''Laputan Machine''.
--> '''[[spoiler: Gunther]]''': I am NOT a mashee---[[KilledMidSentence *twitch twitch*]]
--> '''JC''': [[PreMortemOneLiner Sticks and stones...]]
--> '''[[spoiler: Gunther]]''': *[[LudicrousGibs LUDICROUS GIBS]]*

* "This is what I was made for, isn't it? This is why I exist? Alright. Let's do this!" -- [[spoiler:the Helios ending]]

* JC Denton escapes from Bad Guy HQ and still spares the time to tell TheDragon what a corrupt asshole he is. Badass, party of one, your table is ready.

** When you get to Area 51, [[spoiler:if you ran from Walton Simons rather than confronting him at the Ocean Lab, he'll be there to greet you.]] JC's response is one of the coolest things ever.

* Bob Page's entire raving speech in the intro is amazing, and perfectly complimented by the music.
-->...or better than kings. (music goes quiet) '''GODS.'''

* One of the coolest invocations of "You have ten seconds to..." happens if you pick the third choice to save Sandra Renton from some punk ass bitch named Johnny (who also happens to work for his fellow punk ass bitch Jojo).

** Also, after managing to avert an enemy atomic strike by capturing the silo just before its ICBM launches, does Denton chalk up this victory and call it a day like his allies suggest? Hell no. Denton retargets the missile ''himself'' to wipe the BigBad's surface defenses off the map, has his chopper pilot ''drop him off right at ground zero'', and enters the Big Bad's underground lair through the nuked wreckage!
