Lloyd Asplund: I'm a military contractor.
Cécile: You didn't want him killed, did you?
Lloyd: Why should I care? You know as well as I do. The biggest human flaw is that we're so pitifully fragile in our bodies, our hearts, and our relationships with each other.
Cécile: [puts on her earpiece] Nevertheless, you can't bend the world or people any which way you want.
Lloyd: I want every part in my mechanisms to function exactly as I wish. If we lose Kururugi, we'll just have to find another devicer.

[Lelouch and Guilford are about to start their Knightmare Frame duel while C.C. and Xingke observe from the Chinese Federation consulate]
Lelouch Lamperouge: I have a question for you, Lord Guilford. What do you do when there is an evil you cannot defeat by just means? Do you stain your hands with evil to destroy evil, or do you remain steadfastly just and righteous even if it means surrendering to evil?
C.C.: In either case, evil remains.
Li Xingke: A paradox. Is it merely wordplay?

Kallen: You used us, the Japanese people? You used me?
Lelouch: And as a result Japan will be freed. You certainly can't complain about that.
Suzaku: I should have arrested you while I had the chance.
Lelouch: You knew it was me?
Suzaku: I wasn't sure at first, so I convinced myself that it wasn't true. But I really wanted to believe in you. But you were lying to us, to me. You sister Euphie. And Nunnaly.
Kallen: [Stands and stumbles while Lelouch speaks]
Lelouch: Yes, and now now Nunnaly's been kidnapped. Please Suzaku can't we call a temporary truce? Together we'll be able to save Nunnaly. There's nothing in the word that you and I can't do together.
Suzaku Kururugi: I'm done with that! Had you only joined up with Euphie first, we wouldn't be here! If you and she had combined forces, thing would be different! The world could have been-

Tamaki: Hey, Zero didn't betray us!
Britannian prison guard: Shut up, you stinking Eleven! [hits Tamaki with the butt of his rifle]

Britannian black-ops soldier #1: That girl's still alive!
Britannian black-ops soldier #2: Impossible! She was shot through the heart!
Lelouch: [starts walking towards the Britannian black-ops soldiers] If being powerless is so terribly wrong, then does having power make you right? Do you find vengeance evil? What's your value of friendship? Is it justice?
Britannian intelligence officer: There's no justice or evil. The only truth that's left for you, bait, is the simple reality of death.

Lelouch: [thinking] Ever since that day, my heart simply couldn't accept it. This fake life I was never able to fit into, all the time that was lost, these false memories planted in me, giving me a life as one of the herd, and yet…the truth continues to guide me toward itself.

Lelouch: About Zero being your classmate, or about my Geass power? Which one has offended you?
Kallen: Both of them. Tell me this: Did you use your Geass on me like you did the others? Did you twist my mind and my heart and make me follow you? [Lelouch laughs derisively] Lelouch!
Lelouch: Your mind and your heart are yours alone, as was your loyalty and admiration for Zero.
[Lelouch starts walking towards Kallen]
Kallen: Don't move!
Lelouch: [continues approaching Kallen] Kallen, you should be proud of what you did. You decided. You made the choice. You chose… [takes Kallen's gun away from her] …Zero. [Kallen backs away from Lelouch] You don't believe me?

Suzaku: Then we'd be breaking our treaty with them, risking an international incident.
