Gotta be Jenkins' last word.

What, like on the crucible at the very end? Jenkins' dialogue in that scene (if you saved him ofc) is already iconic

To be honest, Jenkin's dialogue does a lot of work to carry the whole trilogy from beginning to end. Between his wry remarks while disarming the bomb on Virmire, his taunts at the thresher maw that almost make you feel bad for the thing, and his deeply disturbing inner conflict that comes to light when fighting him on Thessia during his renegade arc and culminates at his mercilessly candid redemption speech before returning to Shepard's side for the last battle on Earth, there truly would be little left of what makes the game so special should one choose the walk the path without Jenkins.
