Code Geass Quotes

[Suzaku attempts to apologize to Kallen for his mistreatment of her]
Suzaku Kururugi: I'm sorry!
[Kallen assaults Suzaku, her words punctuated by punches and slaps]
Kallen Stadtfeld: What the hell's that mean?! There's no need to apologize! It's either right or wrong! You think you can flip on the good-guy routine whenever you like?! Not when I'm this pissed off! Kallen Kozuki's a soldier, not a sideshow! [scoffs at Suzaku as she sits back down] I'm mostly pissed off because you're not resisting. [pauses for a moment as Suzaku groans in agony] There. Put me to death. An inmate assaulting a Knight of the Round should be good reason enough for anyone.
Suzaku: No, I won't, because I'm the one who did wrong.
Kallen: [mockingly] "No, I won't." I HATE YOU!

[Luciano interrupts a conversation between Nunnally and Kallen]
Nunnally Lamperouge: I don't believe I gave you permission to enter this area, Sir Bradley.
Luciano Bradley: My apologies, Your Highness.
Kallen Stadtfeld: Well, so you're the Vampire of Britannia.
Luciano: Yes. It's a shame we're not on a battlefield, or I could savor your blood as well.
Kallen: Pity. So, you here to finish off the hostage?
Luciano: Not so. Hostages have only one value I care for. It seems to hold dear to life, and when alive, one can do anything he has a whim for…to its body.

[Lloyd, Cécile, Nina, Suzaku, and Anya are discussing plans for an impending attack on Tokyo]
Cécile Croomy: Huh? Mount the FLEIJA onto the Lancelot?
Lloyd Asplund: Well, the intention was for Suzaku to pilot the Guren, but…
Suzaku Kururugi: [surprised] The Guren?
Cécile: Sorry, he's right. I got so carried away I forgot. It's just, Lloyd and I got so wrapped up in our little hobby that we--
Suzaku: Hobby?
Lloyd: Rakshata's mechanisms are quite easy to tinker with. Now it's so souped up it can't be flown! End result, you're our little devicer again!
Nina Einstein: Excuse me, Professor Lloyd? Now that you've mentioned the Lancelot--
Lloyd: You wouldn't mix up a strategic weapon with a tactical one, would you?
Nina: I have thought it through. Any matter caught in the primary effect field will be annihilated by the FLEIJA's rapid sphere collapse.
Cécile: Hold on! You want Suzaku to fire a weapon like that?!
Anya Alstreim: He'll kill his own people. A massacre.
Nina: Suzaku, you don't consider yourself an Eleven anymore, right? That's why I want to entrust the FLEIJA to you.
Suzaku: You'd give me…that burden?
Nina: You were Princess Euphemia's knight, so naturally.
Lloyd: [spins in a circle before facing Nina] Nina, darling, a fine quandary. Might just kill Suzaku…and take you along as well.

[Lelouch, shaken significantly by the reappearance of Emperor Charles, returns to his quarters, where C.C. attempts to offer him one last slice of pizza]
C.C.: Uh, Master, I kept this last piece so you could have it. You left without having breakfast and must be hungry. So, please, if you--
Lelouch Lamperouge: BE QUIET!
[Lelouch attacks C.C. in a fit of rage, shattering the plate she's carrying and sending her to the floor; he then relents as he sees her bleeding from a large cut on her finger]
Lelouch: Hey--
C.C.: [starts cowering, thinking that Lelouch is going to start beating her] Forgive me, Master! I'll clean it up at once!
Lelouch: No! Leave it there! [starts attending to C.C.'s wound] Be careful now. You're bleeding.
C.C.: No, it's fine. I'm okay. I get cut up all the time.
Lelouch: [thinking] All the time?
C.C.: Bleeding feels even better when it's cold. It feels warm on your outside. It stings a bit, but only on the outside, and that's always better than hurt on your inside. It's just, any kind of warmth helps make you try to keep going. [Lelouch is visibly shivering as he holds C.C.'s hand] Oh, lookit, Master, you're shaking. Are you cold now?
Lelouch: Uh, yeah, maybe. Maybe I am. [C.C. starts holding Lelouch's hand as well] And the hurt on the inside…how's it healed?
C.C.: You just think of… [pauses as she tries to think] …some friends.
Lelouch: Huh?
C.C.: I've never actually had one. Not like families. That always comes and goes. I mean, someone special who stands beside you. At least, I guess that's what I've heard that friends do.
Lelouch: Yes, they do.
C.C.: I'm right? A friend will stand by your side?
Lelouch: Exactly right. A friend is always there.

[Lelouch is meeting Suzaku or Kururugi Shrine asking for his help to protect Nunnaly.]
Suzaku: I need to know. Did you use your Geass power on Euphy? Be honest.
Lelouch: Yes.
Suzaku: You caused her to massacre the Japanese?
Lelouch: I ordered her to do it.
Suzaku: Why would you use your Geass power like that?! [He doesn't answer] Answer me!
Lelouch: To motivate the Japanese people. If the Specially Administrated Zone of Japan had been established, the Black Knights would have collapsed.
Suzaku: And Shirley's death?
Lelouch: Also my fault.
Suzaku: You aren't even human, you know that? Shirley and Euphy...Were both of them nothing more than pawns for your ambitions?
Lelouch: Yes, that's right. So all the sin is mine to shoulder. My little sister had nothing to do with it!
Suzaku: Why you coward! How could you use Nunnaly like that?! [Lelouch gets down on his legs.]
Lelouch: Suzaku, I'm sorry. For the first time in my life, I'm bowing down to another person. Shame and honor mean nothing to me. All I want is this, and my Geass be damned! Just please, you have to save Nunnaly! I beg of-- [Suzaku's shoe steps on Lelouch's head, which causes him to fall to the ground with Suzaku keeping him down.]
Suzaku: After everything you've done, you really think this is sufficient? You believe some bowing and begging is enough for me to forgive you?!
Lelouch: No, of course I don't, but it's all I got! I have nothing else left to offer! You're the only person in the world who can save my sister now!
Suzaku: So you believe...I'll just ignore the past and forgive you? That everyone is going to forgive you?! [He puts more pressure on Lelouch's head.] The people you've tricked...The people who've died thanks to you...And what about E

[Gino manages to score a hit on the Sutherland Sieg, freeing Suzaku in the process]
Suzaku Kururugi: Gino, thank you.
Gino: Can't you look a bit happier when someone saves your life? [beat] Lord Jeremiah! So, what they said about Orange was true, huh?
Jeremiah Gottwald: Orange, you say? [chuckles] That is the name of my loyalty.

[Lloyd is despairing over the theft of the Guren SEITEN]
Lloyd Asplund: You thieves! That's mine, all mine!
Cécile Croomy: Oh, not quite! I did some of the upgrades, remember?
Lloyd: Oh, right, it's actually a collaboration. Oh, what am I talking about?! With a capable devicer, even at 60% output, that unit can cut the other Knightmares to ribbons!
[meanwhile, Rakshata is indignant over Lloyd and Cécile's tampering with the original Guren Mk-II]
Rakshata Chawla: That's the Earl of Pudding's work and Cécile's energy wings! How dare they, altering my Guren without my permission!
Kaname Ohgi: Still, now that we've got Kallen back in the combat zone…
Kyoshiro Tohdoh: …it will even up the battle!

Britannian officer: Sir Bradley, you have permission to destroy the Guren.

[Luciano and Kallen trade barbs while dueling over the skies of Tokyo in their respective Knightmares]
Luciano Bradley: Eleven! Do you know the prime truth of the battlefield? Kill a man off the field, and you're a criminal, but kill him on it, and you're a big hero!
Kallen Stadtfeld: So, the Vampire of Britannia wants to be a hero now, is that it?

Kallen: Some knight. You're barely a scoundrel!
[Kallen destroys the Percival's shield with a ranged Radiant Wave Surger blast; Luciano readies the Percival's drill lance in response and charges]

Kallen: And now what? [shatters the Percival's drill lance with the Guren SEITEN's knife] That's not going to work.
Luciano: Ah, but now I've got you in close range.
[Luciano fires the Percival's head-mounted Slash Harken, only to have Kallen snag the cord in the Guren SEITEN's hand and then latch onto the Percival with the Radiant Wave Surger]
Luciano: What?!
Kallen: Question: What do you value the most? Your own pitiful life!
Luciano: You think an Eleven can threaten me?!
Kallen: Send a postcard.

Gino: [chuckles] Why don't we just enjoy it?

[Rolo activates his Geass again against a group of Britannian Portman IIs and destroys them with the Shinkiro's light hadron guns]
Rolo: I was used by the Order.
Lelouch: --to save me?! You know that--
Rolo: And then you used me, big brother. [clutches his chest as he starts to feel the effects of cardiac failure due to overuse of his Geass] Yeah, maybe you've been using me for your ends right from the very start. But… only the time I spent with you seemed real!

Rolo: [weakly; last words] That's right, I thought so, 'cause I know who you really are inside your heart. I know everything about you, big brother.

Marianne vi Britannia: No, it really is me, Lelouch. However, I can only take on my original appearance while I'm present within this system.
Lelouch vi Britannia: It really is...
Charles zi Britannia: Lelouch, I will now answer your previous question. Half a century ago, my elder brother and I existed in a Hell on Earth, our family were just rivals competing for the throne. Assassinations occured with regularity, dealing with betrayal and spawned by lies. Killing each other off, my own mother fell victim to it. My brother and I were sick and angered by the world, we therefore both sworn an oath: to create a world without lies.
Marianne vi Britannia: Both C.C. and I agreed to this as well. V.V., however...

TV Show: Code Geass
Marianne vi Britannia: What did you call me for today? I cleared everyone out of here, I even have Cornelia withdraw.
V.V.: Sorry to do this, especially without Charles around.
Marianne vi Britannia: Is this about the Sword of Akasha?
V.V.: Oh no, this is only about Charles. Ever since he met you, Charles has been acting like a different man. It seems to me that you and he have come to enjoy learning more about one another. You realize if this continues, the contract we made will never be fulfilled. I will be left alone, from the beginning of time it's always been the woman who led the man restrain.
Personal guard: Lady Marianne!
Marianne vi Britannia: I told you to stay out of here!

Marianne vi Britannia: Anya Alstreim, the young girl who arrived a week earlier to be schooled in etiquette. [Marianne use her Geass to transfer her spirit into Anya] My Geass power was which to cross over to another person's mind. The power that had been indoor for so long activated for the first time as I was dying. I hid inside Anya to save myself from being killed by V.V. and then I realized, realize when my consciousness has surface, I could communicate mind to mind with C.C. When she discovered the truth, C.C. left the directorship to V.V. and then disappeared.
Charles zi Britannia: I spoke with my brother about it, however...
V.V.: I heard, what a tragedy. I should miss Marianne.
Charles zi Britannia: [angrily] My brother lied to me! After we have sworn to create a world without deceit.
Lelouch vi Britannia: How dare you! Don't try to pass off blame for eveything on the dead! Nunnally and I... you send us to Japan as hostages!
Charles zi Britannia: IT WAS NECESSARY!!!
Lelouch vi Britannia: Necessary for what?! What kind of parent does that?
C.C.: If you have someone you don't want to lose, you should keep them at a distance.

TV Show: Code Geass
Charles zi Britannia: That's right, I send both you and your sister to Japan to escape my brother's sight. That's also why I had Marianne's body secretly taken away.
Marianne vi Britannia: As long as my body still exists, there's the possibility that I'll be able to return to it.
Charles zi Britannia: Anya and Nunnally became witnesses, therefore it was necessary to rewrite their memories in order to protect everything.
Lelouch vi Britannia: Nunnally?! You mean her blindness isn't psychosomatic after all?! But...
Marianne vi Britannia: Even though she was a false witness, there remain a very real danger she will be killed.
Charles zi Britannia: To ensure Nunnally's safety, proof was needed that would lead foul way from the truth.
Marianne vi Britannia: The original plan called for only one immortal Code. However, for research to progress we had to have an additional Code. In other words, without C.C., we didn't have an 100% guarantee that it would succeed.
Charles zi Britannia: When Marianne was unable to persuade C.C. to help us, we were left with no choice. We were forced to use you, Lelouch.
Lelouch vi Britannia: What was the point of me doing this?
Charles zi Britannia: These tragedies will no longer be necessary once the Ragnarok Connection is established.
Marianne vi Britannia: Masks will vanish, then everyone can be exactly who they're supposed to be.
Lelouch vi Britannia: I see, all for battle and bloodshed between Britannia and the Black Knights was to lured around C.C. Well then, it seems that from the very beginning I was merely a nuisance, just a ruckus in the world. And what do you two think of all this?

TV Show: Code Geass
C.C.: Did you already know that I was going to come here, Lelouch?
Lelouch vi Britannia: And that you regained your memories too. It was necessary for this plan, wasn't it?
Charles zi Britannia: Precisely, therefore I cannot see any sense in you coming here as well, Kururugi.
Suzaku Kururugi: I'm sure you can't. I'd heard that you're already immortal, that's why there something that I want to know for certain. Why did you make this thing? For what reason?
Charles zi Britannia: Why? Because it's what Nunnally and Euphie both desired. They wanted a gentle world.
Lelouch vi Britannia: Now I see, it's obvious.
Charles zi Britannia: The time is here. C.C., since we are all assembled, the plan can commence now. I will grant your wish after everything has been completed.

TV Show: Code Geass
Marianne vi Britannia: Behold! It's begun! The Sword of Akasha is slaying God!
Charles zi Britannia: Now once our marks of Geass become one, the old world will cease and a new world will spring forward.
Suzaku Kururugi: Lelouch, what was your motivation for wanting to control the world?
Lelouch vi Britannia: Don't waste my time, Suzaku. You know it was for Nunnally.
Suzaku Kururugi: Or you're just using her as your excuse.
Lelouch vi Britannia: Yes, you're right. I am. I've fought to protect everything I thought I wanted to protect.
Suzaku Kururugi: If you're going to achieve that end, then you need to take action.
Lelouch vi Britannia: Yes, the means to that end requires to reject something.
Suzaku Kururugi: Which is?
Lelouch vi Britannia: That... I... I reject you! And I reject everything you believed! Why do people lie? It isn't only because they struggle against each other! It's also because there something that they're seeking. You now want a world without change. How stagnant! You can hardly call it life, the same as a world of memories. Just a world that's closed an incomplete. That's a place I wouldn't want to live in.
Marianne vi Britannia: But Lelouch, are you saying you're rejecting me as well?
Lelouch vi Britannia: That depends. Is your desire the same as His Majesty's mother?
Marianne vi Britannia: It will be so good to rejoin all the people of whom we are separated. You could be reunited to those who have died, even Euphemia.
Lelouch vi Britannia: As I expected. You both believed that this new world you envisioned would be best for all. But forcing good intentions on others is no different from an evil act.
Charles zi Britannia: In time, the people will come to accept it.

TV Show: Code Geass
Lelouch vi Britannia: That's right! C's World is the will of mankind itself! And all men are not equal, remember those words? They're your own and because of that, I'm sure you realize that my power will work!
Charles zi Britannia: You're a fool, Lelouch! God cannot be defeated by the Power of the King!
Lelouch vi Britannia: I don't intend to defeat God! This is a request! Yes, now I know who I really am! God, collective unconscious! PLEASE DON'T STOP THE MARCH OF TIME!!!
Marianne vi Britannia: [running toward Lelouch] Lelouch, you ungrateful child!
Suzaku Kururugi: Nobody would've wanted this! No one and especially not Euphie!
Marianne vi Britannia: And I saved you so that you can talk to Euphie again!
Suzaku Kururugi: You mean you were going to force me to, right?!
Charles zi Britannia: You can't do this, boy! Not against God nor all of humanity itself!
Leluc vi Britannia: Regardless, what I want... is TOMORROW!!!
