 * Conversation between Diethard and Zero
 * "Diethard. What did you talk Kallen into doing?" -Lelouch
 * "I told her to dig up what she could on Kururugi. Maybe I implied a little more than that." -Diethard
 * "Don't overstep your bounds. I don't recall ordering his assassination." -Lelouch
 * "You want us to be the hammer of justice right? We can't have people thinking of us as cold blooded killers I know, but we can hide the truth using the media. You can't change the world without getting your hands dirty. Am I wrong?" -Diethard
 * "Diethard, what are you really after? You may have been demoted but you're still a Britannian. You don't need to join the Black Knights to change the world. Do you?" -Lelouch
 * "I never mentioned this but the first time I ever saw you was that night you rescued Kururugi. And, I trembled. It was like a new era had appeared and taken form before me. I wish to document you Zero. As you build your organization and topple over the empire to take this world for your own. I wish to be there, documenting history as it is created. Nothing has ever made my heart dance more." -Diethard
