Cheering Mao (episode)

Cheering Mao is the fifteenth episode of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion.

Summary
C.C. explains her history with Mao, and how his inability to turn his Geass off drove him insane. An injured Villetta wakes up in Ohgi's apartment and he discovers she has selective amnesia. C.C. leaves Lelouch to take care of Mao herself, but Mao gains the upper hand when he incapacitates her. Lelouch utilizes his intellect to fool Mao and rescue C.C. using Geass on the Britannian Police to surround and shoot Mao. Safe on a rooftop away from the scene, Lelouch reaffirms his contract with her, promising not to fall victim to his power as Mao did.

Quotes

 * Conversation between Lelouch and C.C.
 * "Tell me. If I keep using my Geass will I become like him? Or did he end up the way he is because he didn't fulfill his contract with you."-Lelouch
 * "The more you use your Geass the more powerful it becomes. Those who cannot control the power are ultimately ravaged and consumed by it." -C.C.
 * "And even though you knew everything about that you still offered these contracts?! To me and to Mao?" -Lelouch
 * "That's right." -C.C.
 * "You're a cruel girl. I don't know why anyone would chase after you. Mao couldn't fulfill his contract with you, so you cut him loose. What were the terms of the contract? You're a monster!" -Lelouch


 * Conversation between Mao and C.C.
 * "C.C. you must listen to me. I've built a big brand new house in Australia. A very quiet, white, immaculate, special house. But to get to Australia you'll need to take an airplane and there isn't very much room. The thing is C.C. you're a little too big to bring on a plane. So that's why I'm going to make you compact! It'll take no time at all!" -Mao
 * "Is this you're revenge? You're punishing me?" -C.C.
 * "Oh no! I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not at all. I'm showing you my gratitude." -Mao


 * Conversation between Lelouch and C.C.
 * "C.C. listen to me. I won't let Geass destroy me. I will conquer its power and bend it to my will. I'll use it to change the world. I'll fulfill your desire and my own. I will complete the contract that he couldn't achieve. So please." -Lelouch
 * "Lelouch, tell me. Are you trying to comfort me? Pity me? Or is this part of your obsession?" -C.C.
 * "It's a contract. This time, it's from me to you." -Lelouch
 * "Very well then. I accept your contract." -C.C.


 * "Now is the time to move forward. To smash Cornelia and get the truth. To make a place for Nunnally in this world. These tiny battlefields are meaningless now. We're taking over the Tokyo settlement. We'll expand our military might and extend our contacts. I'll use every piece in the game." -Lelouch (Preview for the next episode)
