Thursdays on Paramount+HALO Season 1 Episode 1: "Contact" Quotes
Did your Spartan just give an insurgent a rifle?
Admiral
Admiral: Dr. Halsey, what's wrong with 1-1-7?
Halsey: Nothing, it's just a neurochemical glitch caused by a power surge to his prefrontal cortex.
Admiral: It's not nothing. Rather than execute the rebel as ordered, he has decided to kill the video feed from his ship. What's going on?
Halsey: I think he's having memories.
Admiral: What? Of?
Halsey: His parents.
Admiral: I thought you'd sealed those memories.
Halsey: He's not even certain that they're his memories. For the moment, they're just visions.
Admiral: Then why violate procedure?
Halsey: I don't know.
Admiral: Not knowing why a walking killing machine is doing what it's doing is a risk that cannot be taken.
Master Chief: When was this?
Kwan: When you killed my mother. She was at a meeting. Outer Colonists getting together to talk about how the UNSC was stripping us of all our natural resources. But before they got into all that, you and three other Spartans showed up, responding to an insurrectionist bomb threat. But, see, that never made much sense, because...
Master Chief: Why would insurrectionists blow up a meeting for insurrectionists?
Kwan: Yeah.
Master Chief: We were ordered to eliminate the organizer. And the orders changed.
Kwan: To what?
Master Chief: The assembled were deemed an imminent threat.
Kwan: My mom seemed like an imminent threat to you?
Master Chief: What I can see on the ground may not reflect the entirety of the situation.
Kwan: What does that mean?
Master Chief: Sometimes... others know things I do not.
Cara: Slow down! I didn't sign up for this! I am completely shanked. This better be worth it, Kwan.
Kwan: Less talking, more looking, Cara.
Cara: Look, if the General finds out we left the outpost...
Kwan: What my father doesn't know won't kill him. I told you I'd find it. Madrigal, the galaxy's highest concentration of heavy hydrogen. Power your ships... and power your drugs.
Cara: This is why you have to stay, Kwan, to find shit like this!
Kwan: Too bad for you, soon as I find a way, I'm getting off this stupid rock.
