(She is not correct, because Paragon Shepard never actually commits a *crime* while allying for Cerberus.)
Line 793:
** Another epic one occurs in the Kasumi DLC. You're in the villain's vault full of priceless artifacts to steal back something, and a giant hologram of his head appears to tell you that he knew you'd come and now he has everything he needs and blah blah blah. A [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] invokes this trope when Shepard checks his pistol while Hock blathers on, levels it at a priceless vase and calmly blasts it to shards. "Do I have your attention now?"
** At the end of the second game, {{spoiler|if you choose not to give Cerberus the Collector Base, you get to perform one on The Illusive Man as he rages on you for not "securing human dominance" as he puts it.}}
** Also '''brutally''' subverted in Lair of the Shadow Broker. {{spoiler|After defeating Tela Vasir, she ekes out a devastating [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]] with her dying breath about Shepard's hypocrisy in working for Cerberus and (depending on choices) remaining a Spectre, while calling out Vasir for working for the Shadow Broker. The lack of an interrupt to shut her up is made all the worse by the fact ''she's right''. She also dies before Shepard can respond, giving her the last word.}}
** Speaking of Shadow Broker, Liara gets one later in the mission. {{spoiler|Against the Shadow Broker himself, no less. The Broker is trying to scare Liara by telling her he knows her secrets. She responds by figuring out that since he's a yahg, he must have killed the original Shadow Broker and taken his place some 60 years ago, finally ending by calling him a slave and a pet - the most devastating insult in yahg culture. [[Villainous Breakdown|He doesn't take it very well.]]}}
** A truly epic one comes in ''[[Mass Effect 3]]'' after you {{spoiler|destroy the Reaper controlling the geth}}. It is giving the standard monologue about how organic civilization is totally outmatched, you will all die, their victory is inevitable, blah blah blah. Shepard retorts by [[Kill Sat|directing an orbital strike from the Migrant Fleet directly into its face.]]
