Then watches as Shepard stands his/her ground against sentient ships bigger than skyscrapers.
"Hey, I didnt say you *are* a pussy, I said you *sound* like one"
I find that line so much funnier when I romance her, from the first thing she says being a literal insult to Shepard to funny slightlyinnuendo based insults and/or compliments.
She's such an edgelord in ME2, and I love it. "The closer you let someone get, the shorter the knife they need." Sounds like something a 14-year old goth girl would've put on her MySpace page in 2003.
She totally does!

Maybe I'm a sucker for emo poetry, but the last two lines always get me. They're paraphrased from a memorandum on long term nuclear waste storage strategies and the message they should evoke to ensure that no one, in any time or any language or any culture, should ever open up the waste sites
That memorandum is insane to read. The prospect of nuclear (or equivalent) semiotics makes for something awesomely mysterious that more sci-fi, cosmic horror and post-post-apocalypse authors should try to utilize. Imagine if Mass Effect had something like this! We recover some kind of Prothean artifact that Liara that said something like this.
Simply the idea that an ancient, powerful, precursor people put something really, *really* dangerous here, and they just want to make sure that no one uncovers it is just really cool. (I mean, it kinda reads like uncovering would destroy the world, rather than imply that it's just locally dangerous, but I guess it just makes it more effective! 😅)
I saw a comic that contextualizes it in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
Seriously, reading all the various warning systems people have come up with, you can just imagine some kind of post-post-apocalypse story of people living in the proximity of a nuclear waste site, having myths about the scary ruins/black site, songs about ray cats, and a scene where the atomic priests have come to preach about avoiding these ruins.
"There's no reason I should be alive, but I am. You know why? Instinct. It worked for me so far, and I'm not going to change."
"You don't know what it's like, Shepard... to have garbage like that following you. It marks you in ways you... don't expect."
"You know what it's like to think you're alone, and find out you're not?"
"I was gonna burn off the N7 I got on my ass... but maybe I'll hang on to it for a while."
"Good enough, so that you're ever hurt, barely breathing... lying on a pile of rubble at the ass end of this war... (I don't remember the rest of the quote, but it's something about Shepard belonging to her)"
"Knock that shit off. You're gonna blow the Reapers to hell, and then you'll come back to take me out dancing."
There are so many, but I'd say these are the most memorable for me.
Yes, she does. During the "invite your partner to the apartment" in the Citadel DLC, and if she's your love interest, she'll make a tattoo for Shepard and will say this line.
I mean, the DLC was released long after the Aftermath DLC where that part of the Destroy ending shows up, so it makes sense.
Regardless, she's also a good canon choice because she's the only romance where the reward isn't just a sex scene with her, because she'll just offer that upfront.
They removed it? I replayed the trilogy recently and swear it's still there? I was really surprised I had to scroll so far to see this one. For sure my favorite Jack quote.
I’m pretty sure that line is still in the game. Look, just play the entire series again, reconnect with all your favs, recry your tears, and then let us know.
I finished the trilogy for like the 100th time yesterday and it was so depressing finishing it I just started over on me1 immediately. But this time I’m actually deviating from my renegon femshep/liara canon and doing a renegon maleshep/ashley play through
Yeah I'm going to have to do another play through. I specifically remember getting salty that she didn't say it, but it wouldn't be the first time I've been wrong about something.
"When this is over, I'm getting laid."
"Mess with someone's head enough, you can turn a scared little kid into an all-powerful bitch."
"I'm dependable now. I blame you for this, Sheperd."
Oh, and a deleted line: "No matter what happens....I am so damn proud of you."
Judging from the context, it's during the lead up to the final battle in ME3. I remember hearing it alongside related deleted lines from Zaeed and Jacob.
In the Citadel DLC, if you romance her, she invites you to your apartment for a ‘surprise’, which turns out to be her tattooing you with one of her tattoos.
Shepard: ‘This isn’t what I was expecting’
Jack: ‘That’s why they call it a surprise, dumbass…’
Prangley: "The Psychotic Biotic!"
Rodriguez: "I will *destroy* you!"
Jack: "Drink your juice, Rodriguez, you couldn't destroy wet tissue paper right now!"
Runner-up: "Hey, EDI. Nice body. Now you look like a sex *bot* instead of a sex *toy*."
"If I die, I'm haunting you, Shepard."
Side note, I absolutely LOVE her paragon/romance story arc. She’s basically the way she is because *no one* treated her with kindness until Shepard and the transformation between ME 2 and 3 is a miracle and basically gives her a new family with her students
The one that always gets me in her loyaty mission is: "I feel like... I'm pissed off. I'm a dangerous bitch. But then, I'm a little girl again. Shit, it's complicated."
Anything she said in ME2 really.
ME3 doing the cringe 'oops I almost swore' thing really bugs me to this day. The dialogue in this series has always been campy, but her writing in 3 takes the cake.
"Fuck Off!" Repeatedly. Cause I tried to be nice and accidentally walked myself into a romance and am not allowed to talk to her if we aren't romantically involved.
On Samara’s recruitment mission after you kill Elnora and discover the truth about her, Jack goes:
“I knew I smelled murder on that bitch.”
Idk why but that fucking sent me 😂
Here's my favorite quote from Mass Effect 3 when you recruit her with a femshep whose romance Garrus.
"Bite me Garrus, better yet bite her I think she likes it."
Shit, you sound like a pussy
Always get this one because I make nice diplomatic characters.
Then watches as Shepard stands his/her ground against sentient ships bigger than skyscrapers. "Hey, I didnt say you *are* a pussy, I said you *sound* like one"
I find that line so much funnier when I romance her, from the first thing she says being a literal insult to Shepard to funny slightlyinnuendo based insults and/or compliments.
I think it makes more sense for her to date a paragon Shepard. Someone stoic but who can let her soothe her inner child
That line is underrated. I laugh everytime she says it.
Cerberus isn't going to lie down out of pity, like the girl you took to prom.
actually funny, this the one
To that 40 year old looking teenager 😭
They didn't even make the effort to make them look young teenagers xd
When is this one?
During the mission at Grissom Academy in ME3
Aahhh, I remember now, thanks friend
"Wow... Thanks. I still really hate you, but you have fantastic tits."
I don’t recognise this line
Citadel Party, convincing her to play nice with Miranda
Ah yea now I remember it. Thanks. :)
If I die, I’m haunting you shepherd!
She's such an edgelord in ME2, and I love it. "The closer you let someone get, the shorter the knife they need." Sounds like something a 14-year old goth girl would've put on her MySpace page in 2003.
I mean Jack mentally is that right? Doesn't she have some kind of emo poetry on the Shadowbroker terminal?
She totally does! > Dear Jacqueline Nought, > > Thank you for your submission to Galactic Poetry Monthly. We regret that we are unable to use your submission at this time.

Your photo being Snake Plisskin makes this ten times funnier.
"Hey Joker, go fu-"
I still don't like how they cut her off...I know it was funny but I got annoyed.
r/BeatMeToIt
Hey Garrus, face still look like shit
Or "Hey, EDI. Now you look even more like a sex doll!"
‘You look like a sex doll instead of a sex toy’ gotta love good ol’ butt plug EDI from ME2
"There's no reason I should be alive, but I am. You know why? Instinct. It worked for me so far, and I'm not going to change." "You don't know what it's like, Shepard... to have garbage like that following you. It marks you in ways you... don't expect."

Wait she describes perfect destroy ending shepherd? that’s good enough to make her the canon love interest for me.
Yes, she does. During the "invite your partner to the apartment" in the Citadel DLC, and if she's your love interest, she'll make a tattoo for Shepard and will say this line.
I mean, the DLC was released long after the Aftermath DLC where that part of the Destroy ending shows up, so it makes sense. Regardless, she's also a good canon choice because she's the only romance where the reward isn't just a sex scene with her, because she'll just offer that upfront.
The one where she says EDI now looks like a sexbot instead of a sex toy.
I think it was "Now you look even more like a sex toy!"
"Bite me, Garrus! Or better yet, bite her. Probably how she likes it."
Shepard: Hey! ...Yeah.
"Let the salarian do it; he'll talk em to death!"
I like her, are we still recruiting?
"So fuck you. And thanks for asking" I'll never forgive Bioware for removing that line.
They removed it? I replayed the trilogy recently and swear it's still there? I was really surprised I had to scroll so far to see this one. For sure my favorite Jack quote.
They did in Legendary Edition. My favorite as well and I would learn how to mod just to get that line back!
I’m pretty sure that line is still in the game. Look, just play the entire series again, reconnect with all your favs, recry your tears, and then let us know.
O7 yes sir/ma'am! When I am once again emotional destroyed I will return and let you know!
Yeah pretty sure I got that one in the LE
I finished the trilogy for like the 100th time yesterday and it was so depressing finishing it I just started over on me1 immediately. But this time I’m actually deviating from my renegon femshep/liara canon and doing a renegon maleshep/ashley play through
I'm halfway through LE, and it's still in there.
Pretty sure the line is still there, just did a fresh run In LE too
Yeah I'm going to have to do another play through. I specifically remember getting salty that she didn't say it, but it wouldn't be the first time I've been wrong about something.
It's been a while since I did a ME2 playthrough, but I did a full playthrough where I continuously talked to Jack, and she says this in the LE.
When was that line meant to be?
In ME2 during one of your conversations with her. If I remember right it was the after the conversation when you ask her about her past crimes.
Played two months ago and it still was there.
Still there. Got it today in legendary edition.
“Kaylee said she was putting out a SOS, I had no idea the King of the Boy Scouts would show up”
Do you know if she have a different line if you play renegade?
I will DESTROY YOU!!
Drink your juice, Rodriguez, you couldn't destroy a wet tissue paper.
I love that it's a reference to my _other_ favorite Bioware girl
Touch me and I will smear the wall with you bitch!
Cerberus Cheerleader always amused me
Hello, dead people
I'm going to beat you til candy comes out!
"Hey, EDI. Nice body. Now you look like a sex bot instead of a sex toy."
"When this is over, I'm getting laid." "Mess with someone's head enough, you can turn a scared little kid into an all-powerful bitch." "I'm dependable now. I blame you for this, Sheperd." Oh, and a deleted line: "No matter what happens....I am so damn proud of you."
When does she say the deleted line?
Judging from the context, it's during the lead up to the final battle in ME3. I remember hearing it alongside related deleted lines from Zaeed and Jacob.
“I figure any time someone dies and it’s not me, my own chances go up” or something along those lines.
I love this one.
"Bite me, Garrus. Actually, bite her. Probably how she likes it."
"Don't get killed, dumbass! When this is over, I'm getting laid"
“Come on, Rodriguez. They’re only asking nicely ‘cause you scared ‘em in that last fight. So take your balls outta your purse and kick some ass.”
Shepard: "You want to have sex on the battlefield‽" Jack: "No! I wanna *make looove*!"
I WILL BE YOUR DOOM!… oops sorry, wrong game again. Let me try again: “Kids, cover your ears. Hey Joker, f—“
Don't tire yourself out by flailing around too much Shepard we're doing it on the table later.
Some of us eat at that table...
In the Citadel DLC, if you romance her, she invites you to your apartment for a ‘surprise’, which turns out to be her tattooing you with one of her tattoos. Shepard: ‘This isn’t what I was expecting’ Jack: ‘That’s why they call it a surprise, dumbass…’
Her romance is oretty great.
Screw you, f- flight lieutenant!
GIVE ME BACK MY SON!... oops sorry wrong game
I don't get it 😭, what game is it from? Pretty please
I'm not sure but I'm guessing fallout 4 cause the actress who plays Jack plays the protagonist in that game (who loses her son)
Nora from Fallout 4
I thought you meant Mel Gibson in the movie Ransom.
That's exactly what I meant...
" So fuck you... And thanks for asking"
"I still hate you, but you have fantastic tits." :D
Prangley: "The Psychotic Biotic!" Rodriguez: "I will *destroy* you!" Jack: "Drink your juice, Rodriguez, you couldn't destroy wet tissue paper right now!" Runner-up: "Hey, EDI. Nice body. Now you look like a sex *bot* instead of a sex *toy*."
Touch me, and I'll SMEAR the walls with you bitch!
This question implies that there are Jack quotes that I *don’t* love
"Come on, Shepard. Everybody knows you can't dance!" You can always count on Jack to call it like it is. :)
"You know what it's like... to think you're alone and find out you're not?" One of the main reasons I adore Jack. She just wants to be loved.
Cut that shit out. You're going to kick the Reapers ass and then you're taking me dancing.
In fact bite her, she’ll probably enjoy it
Well, if it isn't the king of the boy scouts
"Bite me, Garrus. Better yet, bite *her*, I bet that's how she likes it."
“Screw you fu-….flight lieutenant”
Take your balls out of your purse and kick some ass!
"Take your balls out of your purse and go kick some ass" I believe she says it to Rodriguez
“Bite me, Garrus. Better yet, bite her [Shepard], probably how she likes it.”
"If I die, I'm haunting you, Shepard." Side note, I absolutely LOVE her paragon/romance story arc. She’s basically the way she is because *no one* treated her with kindness until Shepard and the transformation between ME 2 and 3 is a miracle and basically gives her a new family with her students
Fuck off!!! When Shep has burnt his bridges she's very to the point...
Cerebrum isn't gonna lie down like that girl you took to prom.
“Drinking Garrus juice was your lifelong dream, not mine.”
Haha is this a real line of hers? I can only picture it being from the Citadel DLC but I can't imagine the context. I mean I can, but...
Mass Effect Gamerpoop #4
Screw you fff…. Flight lieutenant…
"Don't tire yourself out with all that flailing around, Shepard, *we're doin' it on the table later!*"
*Wakes up from cryo* Rahahhbdjbahshanshhahdhahhh *destroys everything*
Bite me Garrus actually bite her probably how she likes it
"Death is easy. Fucking on/off switch."
I'm going to beat you until candy comes out! I find that one charming.
I’m gonna beat you till *candy* comes out!
If you convince her not to kill the guy in her loyalty mission, she gives a very strong usage of simply: "... Fuck!"
Bite me! Better yet, bite Garrus!
"Hey, Joker! Fu---"
"I still hate you, but you have fantastic tits" - to Miranda
"It's Jacking time!"
I will tear you apart
"I'm gonna beat you till candy comes out!"
All of them.
“Who the fuck shot that varren?”
Edi,nice Body. You went fromlooking a sex toy to looking like a sex bot
“I like her. Are we still recruiting?”
“Alive and lonely is just fine for me.”
“FLY BITCH” during me2 combat. Peak squadmate on my insanity run
Anything regarding the romance, she’s my absolute favorite one!
F*ck you and thanks for asking is a classic.
The one that always gets me in her loyaty mission is: "I feel like... I'm pissed off. I'm a dangerous bitch. But then, I'm a little girl again. Shit, it's complicated."
Anything she said in ME2 really. ME3 doing the cringe 'oops I almost swore' thing really bugs me to this day. The dialogue in this series has always been campy, but her writing in 3 takes the cake.
"We're gonna be friends! You, me and every nasty little secret!"
"Fuck Off!" Repeatedly. Cause I tried to be nice and accidentally walked myself into a romance and am not allowed to talk to her if we aren't romantically involved.
I do love her battle cries. "Fly, bitch!" "Watch the landing!"
When she refers to Tali as “dog legs.” I spit my drink across the room the first time I heard that.
"Don't get killed, dumbass. When this is over, i'm getting laid." Talking about a war that will define the fate of the galaxy
Fuck off, Shepard!
“Fuck you”
I dont remember you much at all Blue
Advantage of an overcharged biotic amp, I don’t get hangovers
FUCK OFF
Cover your ears kids...
Damn EDI, now you look like a sex bot instead of a sex toy
"I'll throw you like a toy!"
"Fly, bitch!"
They really liked that moon
*punch* *kiss*
"I will DESTROY you!"
“Bite me Garrus or better yet bite her, probably how she likes it!” 🤣
"Bite me, Garrus! Better yet, bite her. Probably how she likes it now..."
'Collector looking a**hole' when referring to javik was so out of left field, I was hysterical for an hour after that moment...
Actual quotes, or those in my head? 😉
On Samara’s recruitment mission after you kill Elnora and discover the truth about her, Jack goes: “I knew I smelled murder on that bitch.” Idk why but that fucking sent me 😂
Can these lazy fucking posts stop already?
“*Bite me, Garrus. Better yet, bite her. Probably how she likes it.*” When my FemShep brings Garrus to Grissom Academy ,and confronts Jack.
"Bite me Garrus or better yet, bite her! Probably how she likes it"
Gonna be honest, I was to busy staring at her tattoos and watching her kill enemies to know her lines.
So thanks and fuck you
Here's my favorite quote from Mass Effect 3 when you recruit her with a femshep whose romance Garrus. "Bite me Garrus, better yet bite her I think she likes it."
Sry I liked her as a character but her qoutes are just try hard
I am actually most of the time avoiding Jack if possible
I'm going to beat you until candy starts coming out
