 * "Conversation between Lelouch and Kallen
 * "You who abandoned Zero at Kamine Island. What do you want to tell me?" -Lelouch
 * "Lelouch, you were deceiving me right from the very beginning." -Kallen
 * "About Zero being your classmate or about my Geass power? Which one has offended you?" -Lelouch
 * "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!" -Kallen
 * "Your mind and your heart are yours alone. As was your loyalty and admiration for Zero." -Lelouch
 * "Don't move!" -Lelouch
 * "Kallen, you should be proud of what you did. You decided. You made the choice. You chose, Zero. You don't believe me?" -Lelouch

 * "I see." -Lelouch

 * "Zero, I don't care if you're really a student or what you're background is. And, I know you meant it when you said we're not expendable. I know that every fighter we've got counts. Kosuke! Protect Zero. He's our last hope and hope is what our people need. Forgive me Rakshata. Zero! Save japan. Help our people to lift their heads again and fight! The four holy swords have proven our worth." -Kosetsu


 * "Urabe. Your sacrifice wasn't in vain. Hope begins now." -Lelouch


 * "Hear me Britannia! All you who have power, head my words carefully. I am burdened by sorrow. War and discrimination, malicious deeds carried out by the strong. The same abhorrent interplay between tragedy and comedy. The world has not changed. The people still suffer. That is why the resurrection of Zero was necessary. So long as the strong oppress the weak my rebellion will continue to grow. It begins today with the divine punishment I have wrought upon the inept and foolish Viceroy Calares... I shall fight against all those who abuse their power. Therefore, once again, here and now, I declare the establishment of the United States of Japan... Starting from this moment, this room shall be the first dominion of the U.S.J.... Race, ideology, and religion will not matter. Being a citizen will have but one requirement: to do that which is just." -Zero
