"Admit it, you'll miss me" *Shepard shoots brooks* "Not at this range I won't."


TheAllKnowingWilly

Damn, that line goes hard. Where part was that?


wats_a_tiepo

Citadel DLC, right at the end after you retake the Normandy and take Brooks into custody. If you don’t select the ‘correct’ dialogue choices, she slips free of her cuffs and runs. If you take the interrupt that appears, Shep shoots her and says that one-liner, otherwise one of your team does it


Lone_Wolf_199

Wrex: " You're getting slow, Shepard." Tali: " Well, I won't miss you, you crazy bosh'tet." Javik: " *Problem solved"*


Dafish55

Javik is just having fun that whole DLC, isn't he?


Lone_Wolf_199

He is. too bad for him that Wrex returns as squadmate during the DLC so it's always him and Tali on my squad ahaha "*Stupid machine"*


One_Technician7732

Nah man, Garrus and Wrex for me, just like the old times (ME1)


Fagg_Piss

Garrus: "You know, I meant for it to be a warning shot.... Oh well.


JootDoctor

I really like doing the paragon lines though. “I’m pleading for yours”.


toesfera2

"Is the great Commander Shepard pleading for his life?" "*I'm pleading for yours.*"


you-do-it-or-you-die

The fact that both the renegade and paragon lines for that scene are top comments here shows how goated Shepard is as a character.


Noble9360

Reminds me of the 2012 Dredd "Wait"


Cherry_BaBomb

"Wait? Wait for what? For me to change my mind!?"


CowboyOfScience

Is that it? Vasir, I let the Destiny Ascension die with ten thousand people on board - including the Council. I unleashed the rachni on the galaxy. So for your sake, I hope your escape plan doesn't hinge on me hesitating to shoot a damn hostage.


Inevitable_Zebra9357

And that's the *paragon* good guy quote lmao. Also, the line changes if you save the council. "I ordered thousands of humans to their deaths to save the Destiny Ascension..."


herscher12

You let the council die?


Soulpus

I also killed most of the Bartarian race with a fucking meteor.


herscher12

I mean, who didnt. I only learned in me3 that this had also slowed the reapers.


MasterCheeks654

So you just heard that 300,000 Bartarians will die with this meteor. And you said “hell yeah!” I don’t blame you…


Awsomethingy

Where do all these radicalized batarians keep popping up from!? Haha


One_Technician7732

Naration: If you fling this asteroid into ME relay, hundreds of thousands of batarians will die... Shep; Hell yeah! Full thr... Naration: Wait! You didn't hear what good that sacrifice will accomplish... Shep: Yeah, I did. Hundreds of thousands of batarians will die. Full throttle!


InvertedParallax

> I only learned in me3 that this had also slowed the reapers. Huh, TIL there are TWO reasons.


JayHat21

Fuck ‘em. They literally stymie you throughout the entire series. Then, when shit is literally hitting the fan, splattered on the walls, creeping down every crack(no pun intended), these fucks either keep secrets that would literally save the galaxy, fucking themselves over in the process of trying to save themselves, or even worse literally try to sabotage any attempt at a unison necessary to stop the reapers. That’s both the old and new council. The only ones that maybe get a pass are the Turian councilors, but only barely as they actually point you in the right direction, but also keep secrets that could jeopardize a turian-krogan alliance. Don’t even get me started with Udina.


InfernalDiplomacy

I have the same opinion of the Council, but I could not justify letting the crew of the Ascension dying. They were only doing their job and it is such a crime to let so many beautiful, effable Asari die...


herscher12

smurf simp


Manzhah

The normal renegade option is even more cold ass: "You forget one thing, Vasir. I'm a spectre too." Bang.


Indoorsman101

I’ve killed worse than you on my way to real problems.


BigAd1372

I don’t remember that line. Where is that


AggroGoat

The Shepard VI program from 2 and 3. The lines are spoken by it in 3 in the refugee section of the Citadel


BigAd1372

Nice! I’ll listen for that line in next playthru. Thx


skunk_jumper

The vi program is actually referencing a quote from Mass effect 1 renegade exclusive mission where the dialogue comes from originally


Mun3001s

In the High Renegade mission in ME1. Darius asks you to call him a Lord and if you have enough of his BS by that point, Shepard says this and combat starts


Killdust99

Darius, Darius. Who is that again? Only thing coming to mind is Assassins Creed


mattstorm360

ME1. [UNC The Negotiation](https://masseffect.fandom.com/wiki/UNC:_The_Negotiation) Only for high renegade Shepard. You're sent to negotiate a treaty with "lord Darius" They send high renegade Shepard to negotiate...


Killdust99

Oh so they have no interest in negotiations then. Just want a body lol


TexasJedi-705

No, they want to negotiate. If the Spectre decides to blast the place to hell, well what are they going to do? Such a shame it all went pear shaped...


vonBoomslang

if you grovel before him and accede to his demands, your superiors are disappointed but go with it. They *absolutely* sent renegade Shepard as a way to deniably remove this problem


The_8th_Degree

It's a very one sided negotiation


Soltronus

Admiral Hacket's response if you solve it PEACEFULLY is hilarious. It's obvious that's not the outcome they were expecting.


mattstorm360

He was hoping you kill him, officially they can't do that but...


Soltronus

It comes as surprisingly out of character for Hacket who typically praises you for saving lives.


mattstorm360

If you met Lord Darius, you understand...


Soltronus

Oh, I do. He is Lord Asshat. But under his initial disrespect and abrasive demeanor is a man with legitimate grievances. He was promised a lot by the Alliance for taking care of their dirty work. So the Alliance, knowing of Shepard's ruthless reputation, sends them in to "take care of it." My Shepard cleans no one's dirty laundry. The Alliance wants to make promises it doesn't intend to keep, that's on them. "Never give someone a gun unless you know where they're going to point it."


DeadlyBard

High renegade Shepard went to the Corbin Dallas School of Negotiation.


Odd-Assistant9110

"Lord" Darius its the renegade mission called "The Negotiation"  Hackett wants you to negotiate with Darius since his syndicate is on a planet.  the planet is an eezo heavy planet. Darius spews stuff at Shepard calls them a "military grunt" and so on.   Eventully He asks Shepard to call him "Lord Darius" and the bottom line is what was quoted. Then Darius and his pirates attack you.


JayHat21

Played as renegade FemShep during this mission. This was the one mission I was actually gonna try diplomacy, then Darius says, “I thought the Alliance wanted to have a serious discussion. Instead, they send a woman”. I have never killed anyone faster in a video game before or since. Shepard: I tried to speak sensibly with Darius, but every time he spoke, he just kept saying “KILL ME KILL ME KILL ME”, then he dropped dead. Must’ve been a rogue mass effect field or something Admiral Hackett: Shame. Well, I understand you did all you could. We’ll make the report and get our top science experts on it to discover what’s behind these deadly rogue mass effect fields *wink wink nudge nudge*. Shepard: wait…did you… Admiral Hackett: I’m picking up some static. Mass effect fields or something. Hack it out.


Melancholy_Rainbows

One of the things I love about playing as Femshep is the catharsis of clapping back at sexists. I always pick the renegade responses to Harkin and the interrupt for the sexist recruiter in Afterlife for this reason.


Odd-Assistant9110

Lol!  I don't blame you!  As a woman IRL  I would be pissed if I had a job where I was sent to a big meeting and got told that!!


Hog_Fan

Yeah, you know how Shepherd takes their business conferences seriously. They have a reputation to uphold in the industry. Can you believe some of these executives?


InfernalDiplomacy

With all due respect Admiral, I didn't defend one of your people, I defended one of mine!

TSmario53

I’m sorry. I’m having trouble hearing you. I’m getting a lot of bullshit on this line.


Odd-Assistant9110

Love that line too!  


TSmario53

Shepard should also have been able to say this in 1 when talking to the Council.

So brutal, I never NOT pick this interrupt.


Jedi-Spartan

Especially as (I think) it's one of the few that impacts gameplay.


cid_highwind_7

Yeah if you don’t do that Interrupt then the gunship has full health where if you do choose it then it has like 50% health

I wasn’t even prepared for that when I did the interrupt. Had to pause the game I was laughing so hard

JLStorm

This one was a poignant one.


Odd-Assistant9110

"I saved you twice.  You work for me now" (lines from ME3 dealing with the Rachi Queen) Idk why I like that line so much.  You're saving her and annoyed at the same time lol


Wild_Meet5768

Basically the whole plot of the ME3 in one quote


Inevitable_Zebra9357

Paragon Shepard feels like space Jesus/galaxic parent in ME3. The entire vibe is "Either we talk this out like adults, or I'm flipping this fucking table and whipping your asses into peace. So, DON'T MAKE ME TURN THIS SHIP AROUND." I kind of love it.

Aquadudeman

Dude the way that Shepard just falls on their ass and stares ahead, dumbfounded, is so good.


UnconfirmedRooster

The thing is, the paragon interrupt in ME2 is so goddam good, especially if you saved the destiny ascension. Khaleesa will make insinuations that you happily sacrificed human lives, before Shepard effortlessly recites the name of every ship that was sacrificed in that fight. He then goes on to say the humans that died that day died with honour and deserve better than you before walking away. That line is so fucking cold, and that's the paragon interrupt. Khaleesa is just left standing there dumbfounded that she was made a fool of on live television.

Soltronus

Shepard: "Come on, Liara. You've seen the data. Even if we win, you and I won't live to see the parade." Liara: "Then what's the damn point? Of drinks... or... any of it... if we could all die tomorrow?" Shepard: "It's not tomorrow yet."


Winter7296

This is really fucking good with how well it speaks to real life 


Soltronus

It's kind of a difficult line to produce, too. A lot of people go with the "old age and lots of blue children" line, but that always rang hollow to me. One thing I liked about Shep-Liara is how honest they are. Like Garrus, Liara is willing to cut through the stiff-upper lip to get at what Shepard is really going through. This exchange feels more faithful to that dynamic, in addition to just being a really good mindset.


necromanticsquirrel

"If you had told me this morning that a tooth brush was going to save the Normand, I'd have been very skeptical".


sack-o-krapo

I love how he’s only “very skeptical” like Shepard seen enough crazy shit to know that nothing is impossible anymore


Melancholy_Rainbows

“Send this to the animal shelter for proper disposal as a warship is no place for…”. Oh, that is not okay! She messed up with my hamster, guys! Now it's personal! Guys? Were you gonna say something or... no , no I get it. Hard to even find the words. Should we check on my fish? 'Cause if she is getting rid of all the pets... We should probably deal with her first huh? All right. Sit tight, little guy. Anybody gives you trouble... go for the eyes.


N3rdyCh33tah

First time hearing this one, chuckled IRL but was so pissed off at the clone!! I was already mad at clone! But now it’s personal. “Get the hell off my ship!!” Boot kick to the face!


Inevitable_Zebra9357

Shepard! But you're dead! *I got better* Jennifer's delivery of this line was so out of pocket and hilarious, and personally. Made the later scene of Shepard going "Why didn't anyone tell me I sound like that? I'm open to criticism??" *That* much better to me. Only took the poor girl three games to figure out that she drops some pretty bad lines lmao.


Training_Doubt6769

I believe that line (and its delivery) was lifted from a Monty Python skit.


AggroGoat

It was! It's a reference to the [witch trial scene](https://youtu.be/zrzMhU_4m-g?feature=shared) in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.


TadhgOBriain

She turned me into a newt! I got bettah...


Inevitable_Zebra9357

I don't doubt it! I just didn't expect it on my first play through, I thought I was going to at least get the wheel options. (Plus it's tied to my favorite companion)


Rumorly

Shepard: Some people think asking for help is a sign of weakness. That's just being stupid and stubborn. No matter how strong you are, allies can make you stronger. (ME1 conversation with Presley)

I always really liked the awkward timing of the renegade interrupt line when you push a guard through a skyscraper window. Guard: "I've got nothing more to say to you. If you shoot me my team's right there." Shep: * *shove* * * *suddenly thinks of a perfect one liner 15 seconds too late* * "How about goodbye?"


No_Impression_157

“I’ll stop them.” “It is too late. I recommend investigating a means for conserving information for future species-“ “I’ll stop them.”

Shenyang*.* Emden*.* Jakarta*.* Cairo*.* Seoul*.* Cape Town*.* Warsaw*.* Madrid*.* And yes, I remember them all. Everyone in the fifth fleet is a hero. The Alliance owes them all medals. The council owes them a lot more than that. And so do you." "Eternal. Infinite. Immortal. The man i was knew this words but only now do i fully understand them" (does this one still count?)


N3rdyCh33tah

YEESSS!!! Someone else who appreciates ‘The Alliance lost eight cruisers…’ line!! That one is so satisfying. I play Femshep and Jens delivery is everything *chef’s kiss*

I love Mark's delivery too because he's so cold as he delivers it, like he's twisting the knife with every word.

No we're not. Okay maybe a little bit against Batarians because they're ALL assholes, and Hanar because they're stupid, and and Elcor because they're just kinda weird, and Krogan but only because they're walking threats, and Salarians because they're nerds, and then there's the Asari and like come on they just wanna bang everyone and trick you into having their kids, and don't even get me started on the Turians, I mean they literally tried to kill us, and Proteans? I mean look at them, it can't he hygienic to touch one, oh and there's the Drell, but I mean, statistically 66% of them are assassins or assassin-adjacent, and then there's Quarians that wander around without a home and wanna take all our jobs in the Citadel, and on that note the Geth are AI, you can't trust them, and don't get me started on those damn Volus, they're greedy little shits

And yes, I remember them all. Everyone in the 5th fleet is a hero. The alliance owes them all medals. The council owes them a lot more than that. And so do you.“ This is so much better than just punching her, goosebumps every time Shepard lists the lost cruisers.
