Lloyd Asplund: A-ha!
Bartley Asprius: What are you doing?
Lloyd: Looking at a man who blundered, am I right?
Bartley: Why, you--
Lloyd: You really screwed this one up. Terrorists came along and stole whatever it was that you and Prince Clovis were secretly working on. Retrieving it is simple, but you want to sweep up all their compatriots in addition. Let the terrorists go, and you can find their hideout, too. [turns to his assistant, Cécile Croomy] Congratulations! Your reasoning was spot-on!
Cécile Croomy: It was nothing. I just thought it was strange.

[C.C. enters Lelouch's mind and proposes the contract of Geass.]
C.C.: You don't want it to end here, do you?
Lelouch Lamperouge: What?
C.C.: You appear to have a reason for living.
Lelouch: The girl? That's impossible.
C.C.: If I grant you power, could you go on? I propose a deal—in exchange for this power, you must agree to make my one wish come true. Accept this contract, and you accept its conditions. While living in the world of humans, you will live unlike any other: a different providence, a different time, a different life. The Power of the King will condemn you to a life of solitude. Are you prepared for this?

Lelouch: Yes! I hereby accept the terms of your contract!

[Lelouch has just been granted Geass by C.C. and is planning to use it on the Britannian royal guards who have him cornered]
Lelouch: Say, how should a Britannian who detests his own country live his life?

I was sick to death of a world that couldn't be changed. But even in my lies, I refused to give up in despair. But now, this incredible power, it's mine. [aloud, as he grins evilly] Well, then…

Emperor Charles zi Britannia: All men…are NOT created equal! Some are born smarter, or more beautiful, or with parents of greater status. Some, by contrast, are born weak of body or mind, or with few, if any, talents. All men are different! Yes, the very existence of man is discriminatory! That's why there is war, violence and unrest. Inequality is not evil. Equality is! What became of the EU, who claimed that all are equal? It is in constant conflict because its tenets go against human nature! The Middle Eastern Federation, which harbors similar sentiments, is constantly mired with sloths! But our Britannia is not like them! We put an end to wars and evolve with every conquest! Britannia alone looks forward and moves forward to a better future! The death of my son Clovis is yet more proof that our empire is evolving. Fight! For the future rests in the hands of its ruler!
