Line 69:
'''Hackett:''' I wish every soldier had your definition of "just doing your job." You're a credit to the uniform, Shepard. }}
* After fighting Saren on Virmire, he knocks Shepard down with biotics, picks him/her up by the throat, and dangles him/her over a ledge. Just before he can drop Shepard, Saren gets distracted by an explosion. He glances to one side, and Shepard punches him in the face. To reiterate in its full awesomeness: while being held over a cliff by his/her ''throat'', Shepard punches an elite soldier with far more training than him/her {{spoiler|and who is [[The Dragon]] to a race of [[Eldritch Abomination]] ships that wipe out all life in the galaxy on regular basis}} ''right in the face''.
* You know Ian
* Saren gets one. Despite being the Bad Guy for most of the story, Shepard can still get him to have a [[My God, What Have I Done?]] moment and shoot himself in the head. Considering the amount of Indoctination Saren must have undergone, [[Heroic Willpower]] doesn't even begin to describe it. Even an asari matriarch (Benezia) wasn't able to resist it for long.
Line 309:
* "I'll relinquish one bullet. Where do you want it?"
* On my playthrough of the suicide mission, I entered the Omega 4 relay immediately after the crew was captured so I had time to save them. After seeing that one colonist get...[[Fate Worse Than Death|pulped]] my Shepard started yelling for the team to get the crew out of the pods. While most of my team looked for the controls to open up the pods, Mordin didn't waste any time and immediately began to smash the glass on the pods with the butt of his gun. [[Badass Bookworm]] indeed.
** Grunt, being [[Proud Warrior Race Guy|Grunt]], simply grabs the nearest pod and rips it out of its socket by main strength. But it gets
* During Miranda's loyalty mission, if you interrupt and spare Niket, he will immediately get killed by Captain Enyala, then Miranda picks her up with biotics and throws away. Awesome. Much more awesome when you realise it's a HUMAN biotically slamming one of famous ASARI COMMANDOS.

Line 348:
{{quote|'''Committee Member''': What can we do?
'''Shepard:''' The only thing we can do: We '''fight''' or we ''die''! }}
** Shepard is basically saying, "I went through ''all nine levels of hell'' to give you '''three years''' to come up with a plan! You wasted it debating whether or not there was even a threat! All we have time for now is [[Do Not Go Gentle|not go down without a fight!]] '''''Now get off your useless asses and fight, [[Obstructive Bureaucrat
*** While several of the fans lament the unfitting ending, My one biggest disappointment with [[Mass Effect 3]] was that there was no way to actually utter a line like the above to the council, or call them out in any way for their obstructive and collective stupidity over 3 games, and how many lives have been lost due to their shortsightedness.
* Par for the trope, the Normandy's [[Gunship Rescue]] as Shepard escapes Earth with Anderson.
