Captain Jacob Keyes : Heard you played politician today with the rebel girl.
Dr. Miranda Keyes : Dad, I tried. I sucked up my pride, and I really - I gave it my best.
Captain Jacob Keyes : I believe you.
Dr. Miranda Keyes : Selling Dr. Halsey's Spartans to a rebel, of all people. As if Halsey'd ever do a think to promote me.
Captain Jacob Keyes : That's not entirely fair.
Dr. Miranda Keyes : Please don't. Don't defend her. She's done nothing but throw roadblocks in my way.
Captain Jacob Keyes : Halsey's always been single-minded. Work is the only thing that matters. I made my peace with that a long time ago. It's nothing personal.
Dr. Miranda Keyes : "Nothing personal" isn't a great excuse when it's your mom.
Captain Jacob Keyes : You know, you are a lot like her.
Dr. Miranda Keyes : Ouch.
Dr. Miranda Keyes : I meant that as a compliment.

Captain Jacob Keyes : There's a weapon signature on the girl.

Admiral Margaret Parangosky : Captain, does Master Chief know the girl is Article 72?
Captain Jacob Keyes : Of course. It would have been communicated to him.
Admiral Margaret Parangosky : Dr. Halsey, what's wrong with 1-1-7?
Dr. Catherine Halsey : Nothing, it's just a neurochemical glitch caused by a power surge to his prefrontal cortex.
Admiral Margaret Parangosky : 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?
Dr. Catherine Halsey : I think he's having memories.
Captain Jacob Keyes : What?
Admiral Margaret Parangosky : Of?
Dr. Catherine Halsey : His parents.
Admiral Margaret Parangosky : I thought you'd sealed those memories.
Dr. Catherine Halsey : He's not even certain that they're his memories. For the moment, they're just visions.
Admiral Margaret Parangosky : Then why violate procedure?
Dr. Catherine Halsey : I don't know.

Dr. Miranda Keyes : So what happens now to the girl?
Captain Jacob Keyes : That's what I came over here to tell you.
Dr. Miranda Keyes : Tell me what?
Captain Jacob Keyes : Kwan Ha was badly wounded in the alien attack on Madrigal. Despite our best efforts, she succumbed to her injuries.
Dr. Miranda Keyes : I-I spoke to her, and she was fine. What--? What injuries? Dad. You didn't order an Article 72.
Captain Jacob Keyes : Came from up top. I wanted you to hear it from me.
Dr. Miranda Keyes : Well, then you're okay with this?
Captain Jacob Keyes : It's not about being okay.
Dr. Miranda Keyes : No, it's about keeping the deuterium flowing, regardless of the cost.
Captain Jacob Keyes : It is not that simple.
Dr. Miranda Keyes : It is that simple. It's-it's an Article 72. We're murdering a teenage girl... and I'm complicit.
Captain Jacob Keyes : We're in a war, Miranda. The future of humanity...
Dr. Miranda Keyes : What's the point of saving humanity if we're going to give up our own?
Captain Jacob Keyes : Sometimes you have to make hard choices to get good results.
Dr. Miranda Keyes : Now who's sounding like Halsey?
