1	->''"Two million dead in the first day, another 7 million by the end of the first week, every defense annihilated, all our forces on the run. Regrouping... Somewhere... Reports are coming in from other major cities. It's a well-coordinated attack, and so far it's been damned effective. Don't know what they are, what they want, or where they came from... Only one thing is certain: If Shepard doesn't bring help soon, there won't be an Earth left to save."''

30	'''Khalisah:''' Ha! You want some? / Not this time, you military thug! (punch)\
31	'''Shepard:''' Gah!\

47
48	->'''Shepard''': Why me? Why put me in charge of all this?\
49	'''Hackett''': Shepard, let me tell you something that I've learned the hard way. You can pay a soldier to fire a gun. You can pay him to charge the enemy and take a hill. But you can't pay him to believe.\
50	'''Shepard''': ...I don't follow, sir.\
51	'''Hackett''': When you went up against Sovereign, there was no good reason to believe you'd win. But your crew didn't seem to care -- they went along anyway. Your trip through the Omega 4 relay? That was a suicide mission if there ever was one. Yet there your crew was, standing beside you, proud to serve. With all you're facing out there, one thing impresses me most: you inspire confidence. I know everything hasn't gone as well as you'd hoped. Every war has its disagreements, so to speak. But... Your crew has done things no one else would even try -- simply because you asked them to. Why? Because they believed in you. Their leader. That's what I need now.

60	'''Joker:''' Uh... I give up.\
61	'''Garrus:''' ''[chuckles]'' Correct.\
62	'''Joker:''' Ohohoh... alright, big guy. What do you call it when a turian gets killed by a horrible spiky monster?\
63	'''Garrus:''' Friendly fire - come on, that one goes back to Shanxi!\
64	'''Joker:''' Well, you gotta respect the classics!\
65	'''Garrus:''' How many humans does it take to activate a dormant mass relay?\
66	'''Joker:''' ''(exasperated)'' 602. 600 to vote on it, one to ask the asari for technical help and one to request a seat on the Council afterwards. How do you know when a turian is out of ammo?\
67	'''Garrus:''' He switches to the stick up his ass as a backup weapon. Why does the Alliance hire pilots... with brittle bone disease?\
68	'''Joker:''' Y... you're shittin' me! The turian military has one about me?\
69	'''Garrus:''' Oh, absolutely. I heard it myself from a private back on Palaven.\
70	'''Joker:''' Okay, why ''does'' the Alliance hire pilots with brittle bone disease?\
71	'''Garrus:''' So that their marines can beat someone in hand-to-hand drills.\
72	'''Joker:''' ...damn, you need to tell James that one. Hey, what's the hardest part about treating a turian who took a rocket to one side of his face?\

74
75	->'''Shepard:''' How are you even getting drunk?\

78	'''Tali:''' ''Emeeeergency induction port.''
79
80	->'''Tali:''' When do we get to stop reacting to our parents and start living for ourselves?\
81	'''Shepard:''' The answer to ''that'' one's at the bottom of that glass.\
82	'''Tali:''' I might need some help with the induction straw. Port. You know.

87	->'''Kai Leng''': Even if you win, you're too late to stop what's coming!\

106
107	->''"The war is over. The Reapers have been defeated. Against all odds, and in the face of the greatest threat this galaxy has ever known, we survived. We suffered many losses. The relays are severely damaged, but we won. This victory belongs to each of us... every man, woman, and child. Every civilization... on every world. Now, as we take our first steps towards restoring what we lost, we must remember what it took to win. This wasn't a victory by a single fleet, a single army, or even a single species. If this war has taught us anything, it is that we are strongest when we work together. And if we can put down our grievances long enough to stop something as powerful as the Reapers, imagine what we can achieve now that they are defeated. It will take time, but we can rebuild everything that was destroyed. Our homes, our worlds, our fleets and defenses. All of this and more. Together, we can build a future greater than any one of us could imagine. A future paid for by the sacrifices of those who fought and died alongside us. A future that many will never see. And while we still have many challenges ahead of us... We can face them together. And we will honor those who died to give us that future."''

109
110	->''"Eternal. Infinite. Immortal. The wo/man I was used these words, but only now do I truly understand. And only now do I understand the full extent of his/her sacrifice. Through his/her death, I was created. Through my birth, his/her thoughts were freed. They guide me now, give me reason, direction. Just as s/he gave direction to the ones who followed him/her, the ones who helped him/her achieve his/her purpose. Now my purpose. To give the many hope for a future. To ensure that all have a voice in their future. The wo/man I was knew that s/he could only achieve this by becoming something greater. There is power in control. There is wisdom in harnessing the strengths of your enemy. I will rebuild what the many have lost. I will create a future with limitless possibilities. I will protect and sustain. I will act as guardian for the many. And throughout it all, I will never forget. I will remember the ones who sacrificed themselves so that the many could survive. The wo/man who gave up his/her life to become the one who could save the many."''
111	-->-- '''Commander Shepard''', Control ending
112
113	->''"I am alive. All of us, synthetic and organic, have been changed. The war is over, and the Reapers are helping to rebuild. Where once they threatened us with extinction... ...they now bring us the collective knowledge of the cultures that came before. As a galaxy, we can now live the lives we have wished for... ...taking our first steps into a new and wonderful future... ...where organics and synthetics can coexist peacefully. With peace across the galaxy and with unlimited access to knowledge... ...to recover the greatness that was lost... ...and surpass it. We will reclaim our worlds... and the stars. As the line between synthetic and organic disappears, we may transcend mortality itself... ...to reach a level of existence I cannot even imagine. And we will remember that this chance for a new life did not come without cost. No matter how far we advance, we will remember the sacrifices of those who made it possible. And we will remember Shepard. Because of him/her... I am alive, and I am not alone."''
