Hackett: I didn't think it could be done, Commander. You managed to secure the base and neutralize the biotics without a single civilian casualty.
Shepard: Just doing my job, Admiral. I couldn't let innocent lives be lost.
Hackett: I wish every soldier had your definition of 'just doing your job'. You're a credit to the uniform, Shepard.
Mr. Alcott: Thank you!
Heroes act without thought of glory or reward. Accolades are a consequence, not a goal.
Imperial Guardsman: [Kneeling] My lord, you have saved us.
Sploorfix: Thank you for placing me in my space suit! You saved my life!
Vexxarr: Don't mention it.
Sploorfix: No, really. Thank you.
Vexxarr: You're mentioning it. I thought we went over this...
Vexxarr: Don't mention it.
Sploorfix: No, really. Thank you.
Vexxarr: You're mentioning it. I thought we went over this...

Michael Allen: A hero, I guess, is someone who does ordinary things under extraordinary circumstances. If what I did yesterday makes me a hero to you, then that's what I am. Thank you for thinking of me that way. What I did was dive into a pool and do something that I had been trained to do. I didn't think about it, I just did it. Mr. and Mrs. – I'm sorry, Donald and Elaine – I'm grateful that you feel you owe me something for saving Cyndi, but your words of thanks are more than enough as far as I'm concerned. I'm no hero. I just did the right thing when it needed to be done – something I hope that, given the same circumstances, any of us would have.
— Gratitude
Diego: Why did you do that? You could have died trying to save me.
Manfred: That's what you do in a herd. You look out for each other.
— Ice Age
Nyx: It is quite unnecessary to give thanks to me this way. You are the Queen, safely returned where you belong. I did what anybody would have in my place.
Persephone: Anybody would have lovingly raised my estranged son while keeping safe my secret, eventually orchestrating an elaborate plot to reunite him with me so that I might someday return to have a nectar with them in the lounge?
Nyx: Precisely, yes.
— Hades
Kyril: The traitors are dead. I suppose I would call this a victory, if it were a happy time to do so.
Sebas: We thank you for your services, Sir Kyril.
Kyril: It was not just I, Lord Sebas. You and the other nobles fought hard to regain control of the city from the Black Dogs.
Arash: Regardless, Sir Kyril. We ought to reward you. Did you not also rescue our dearest Prim Fiorire? And our brave Knight of Iris, Alicia?
Kyril: Aye, but the war is still ongoing, Lady Arash. And while I am honored that you place such faith in me, there is much work to be done. The war is not over yet.
Sebas: We thank you for your services, Sir Kyril.
Kyril: It was not just I, Lord Sebas. You and the other nobles fought hard to regain control of the city from the Black Dogs.
Arash: Regardless, Sir Kyril. We ought to reward you. Did you not also rescue our dearest Prim Fiorire? And our brave Knight of Iris, Alicia?
Kyril: Aye, but the war is still ongoing, Lady Arash. And while I am honored that you place such faith in me, there is much work to be done. The war is not over yet.
