[Kallen has just appeared before Lelouch and is pointing a gun at him]
LLelouch
You who abandoned Zero at Kamine Island, what do you want to tell me?
Lelouch. You were deceiving me right from the very beginning.
LLelouch
About Zero being your classmate, or about my Geass power? Which one has offended you?
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!
LLelouch
Your mind and your heart are yours alone, as was your loyalty and admiration for Zero.
[Lelouch starts walking towards Kallen]
LLelouch
[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?
[hesitating] I wanted to believe, so much that I'd become a slave.
But… [regains her composure] …The one I believe in is Zero! Just him! It's not you, Lelouch!
LLelouch
Well, fine with me. [notes Kallen's Playboy Bunny attire and the Knightmare Frame key stuck in her cleavage] By the way, are you ever going to change out of those clothes?
[Kallen, taken by surprise, turns away from Lelouch and tries to cover her breasts]
Don't look at me, you pervert!
LLelouch
[playfully] Oh, is that the way you talk to Zero now?
[indignant] I'm saying it to you, Lelouch!
(Inside the Britannian throne room)
LLelouch
He brought me before the Britannian emperor.
The former seventeenth heir to the imperial throne, Lelouch vi Britannia. It been a long time, hasn't it, my errant son?
[to Lelouch] You won't use your Geass. [to the emperor] Your Majesty, I have a request. Please, sire, allow me to join the Knights of the Round, the twelve strongest knights of the Britannian Empire.
As a reward for capturing Zero, is that it?
I told you before, Lelouch, that I was going to change this world from the inside.
LLelouch
Even if it means selling out your friends?!
Very well, I like the answer you just gave him.
(Charles rising from the throne)
Now, then. As a Knight of the Round, I order you: Cover up Zero's left eye.
(Suzaku lifts up Lelouch's head and covers his left eye)
My unworthy son, who raised the banner of rebellion, although he was a prince. Still, there's another way we can make use of him.
(Charles' Geass activates as two Geass sigils light up in both of his eyes)
I will rewrite your memory, about being Zero, about the death of your mother, about the very existence of Nunnally.
You'll remember none of it, you'll just be insignificant.
LLelouch
No, stop! You're stealing of what's most precious to me again! First my mother and now you're taking Nunnally!
Charles zi Britannia engraves into you...
...false memories of a false life!
(Lelouch screams as his father's Geass enter his mind and alter his memories)
LLLelouch Lamperouge
AHHHHHHHHH!!!!
[Lelouch and Guilford are about to start their Knightmare Frame duel while C.C. and Xingke observe from the Chinese Federation consulate]
LLelouch
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?
In either case, evil remains.
A paradox. Is it merely wordplay?
GGuilford
In the name of Cornelia, I choose justice! [charges at Lelouch's Burai with his Gloucester]
LLelouch
I understand. In my case, I commit evil to destroy the greater evil!
LLelouch
[closes the bucket] Y-yeah.
Aren't you just talking with somebody just now?
LLelouch
No, it's just you and me right now.
[blushes] That's right... It's just Lulu and me... This may be my chance! Lulu, Do you want to... Eh?
LLelouch
I-I'm sorry, Shirley... It's difficult to hear you from here! [to Kallen] What are you doing here?!
I'm here to drag that pizza girl out!
LLelouch
She's in that big case of tomatoes. Carry the whole bucket and get it out from... WOAH!
[to the mascot] Who are you?! How dare you drag Lulu like that! Show yourself! [tries to pull the mascot's head away]
If I did, my identity will be revealed!
LLelouch
[recovering from his fall] What a disgrace...
LLelouch
No, I don't think I have...
LLelouch
Cats and tomatoes don't mix!
[piloting the Ganymede] That's right, Suzaku! I'll be making the biggest pizza in the world myself! See you! [Gino zooms away with the tomato bucket]
LLelouch
No, wait!! [runs after the Ganymede and Kallen and Shirley follows]
Now, it's shake time! [shakes the bucket, drowning C.C.]
Oh, man, I think I'm going to rebuild the festival again.
LLelouch
[stops and pants] This wasn't my kind of outfit...
[runs happily and overtakes Lelouch] Fire away!
[Lelouch remembers all of his friends including Nina, Kallen, Suzaku, and Nunally ]
LLelouch
Long time ago, Nunally, Suzaku, and I talked about something. We wondered what happiness would look like if we could give it a physical form. If I'm not mistaken, I think it was Suzaku that said that the shape of happiness might resemble glass. His reasoning made sense. He said that even though you don't usually notice it, its still definitely there. You merely have to change your point of view slightly, and then that glass will sparkle when it reflects the light. I doubt that anything else could argue its own existence more eloquently.
How do you do everyone?. I am Nunnally vi Britannia of the royal family, 87th in line to the imperial throne. Due to the unfortunate untimely loss of Duke Calares recently, I'll shall assuming the viceroyship of Area 11 in his place.
[Lelouch appears at the ceremonies that were for the opening of the Special Administrative Zone of Japan]
LLelouch
I do not wish to be in your debt. However, I have a question. What does it mean to Japanese? A nation.
LLelouch
It is language, territory, bloodlines?
No, that is not it. It is in the heart.
LLelouch
Then we are in agreement. A feeling within, of belonging, dignity, pride, the culture is carried in the heart. You are Japanese no matter where you are.
[the Black Knights have blundered into a trap laid by Xingke and are now fighting a losing battle against Chinese Federation forces]
LLelouch
You've earned your victory, Xingke. I should have killed you first. You're as good a tactician as I am, and as strong a warrior as Suzaku. One could say that the heavens blessed you twice.
[cut to Zhou Xianglin, on the bridge of the Chinese Federation mobile command post]
ZXZhou Xianglin
Yes, but the heavens didn't give him enough time to live.
A single shot from the Mordreds Stark Hadron cannon would demolish the Mausoleum, wouldn't it?
Well, yes. If you just want to crush them.
KMKanon Maldini
And the moment we did that they'd say we killed their empress. We have to let the High Eunuchs make that last mortal blow.
ZHZhao Hao
So, you admit you're outmatched. Well, we won't accept your surrender. It's too late now.
LLelouch
You insist on fighting? Even though your own empress will die in the attack?
ZHZhao Hao
The empress is merely a system. There are plenty of others to replace her.
CZCheng Zhong
So you can't use her as a bargaining chip.
LLelouch
But you use her to gain noble titles in the Britannian court.
ZHZhao Hao
You have sharp ears, don't you? A cheap price to pay for power.
LLelouch
Cheap? A phony treaty that gives China's land to a foreign nation?
XWXia Wang
Land is nothing but dirt, after all.
ZHZhao Hao
Correct. We're Britannian noblemen now. That's what counts.
LLelouch
And what about the common people you sworn to protect?
ZHZhao Hao
Zero, when you walk down the street, do you worry about stepping on the ants?
CZCheng Zhong
You throw away paper that clings to your bottom, don't you? It's the same thing.
LLelouch
You sell out your country, abandon your empress, betray your own people, and all for what?
XWXia Wang
An idealist. I never thought you were so naïve, Zero.
ZHZhao Hao
Indeed! Masters and commoners will always breed.
CZCheng Zhong
Like insects!
FSFutaba Sumeragi
Radiant shield generators 2 and 5 are offline!
That leaves the deck exposed!
LLelouch
Noblemen, you're bureaucrats, paper pushers who know nothing about noblesse oblige!
TTianzi
Please stop it! You have to stop all this fighting!
[en route to the OSI command post, Lelouch is ambushed by a girl named Miya, who steals his hat]
MMiya
I did it! Now I get to be Lelouch's girlfriend!
LLelouch
Of course. [turns around to face Miya] Miya, is it?
MMiya
What's up, honeybunch?
LLelouch
[removes his contact lens to reveal his active Geass sigil] Would you mind very much giving me that hat back?
MMiya
[is overcome by Geass] Okay!
LLLelouch Lamperouge
Right. I've sent Jeremiah on ahead. He'll take care of any obstacles in the way. Don't try to fight him. He just came over to our side.
[He runs up the escalator, only to stop as he notices someone lying on the ground in the smoke. Immediately worried, he quickly runs over and gasps in terror when he sees who it is. Shirley Fenette is lying on the ground with a heavy amount of blood leaking from her body, a gunshot wound in her chest being the source of the bleeding.]
LLelouch
[horrified] Shirley!
[He kneels down to her, overlooking her mortal wound.]
LLelouch
Shirley, who did this to you?
[voice weak, smiling] Lulu... I'm glad we can talk at the very end.
LLelouch
Don't say that. It's not the end. [takes out his cellphone] I'll call a doctor, so just--
[Shirley puts her hand on Lelouch's cellphone to stop him.]
Ever since my memories have come back, I've been feeling so very afraid. A teacher who wasn't a teacher. Friends who don't have memories to share. Everyone... was just... lying. It felt as though the whole world was spying on me. That's the world you've been fighting all by yourself, isn't it? All alone. So that's why I... why I wanted to be someone who would at least be truthful to you.
Lulu... I love you. Even knowing how you caught my father in all this... I simply couldn't hate you. Even though you made me forget everything, I still fell in love with you. [She tightens her grip on Lelouch's hand.] Even though my memories were tampered with, I kept falling in love... with you all over again.
[As her life peters out, her eyes begin to close. Lelouch, in a moment of grief-stricken panic, immediately removes the contact over his Geass eye.]
LLelouch
[shouting] NO, SHIRLEY! YOU CAN'T DIE!
[He activates his Geass, attempting to will her into finding the strength to survive. While it kicks in, she ultimately lacks the physical strength to carry out the command. In addition, Shirley manages to overcome it, just to continue speaking to Lelouch.]
No matter how many times I'm reborn... [More blood has started pouring up from the hole in her chest.] ...I'll keep falling in love with you, Lulu. [Her blood is leaking onto the floor, to Lelouch's feet.] I suppose that it's simply fate.
LLelouch
[desperate] No, don't die! [He uses his Geass yet again.] I ORDER YOU NOT TO DIE!
[Once again, the Geass cannot will her into surviving. Shirley's eyes start to fill with tears.]
So is that okay, then, Lulu? [Tears are forming in Lelouch's eyes.] And as I'm reborn... I'll fall in love with you over and over. [Shirley's eyes continue to close.] I'll keep... falling... in love... with... y...
[Her voice giving out, Shirley closes her eyes and dies. Her hand falls limp into the pool of her own blood. Lelouch twitches, eyes wide and brimming over with tears.]
LLelouch
[shocked, disbelieving] Shirley...? Shirley!
[He stares in denial at her corpse with tears pouring from his eyes, shaking in grief... and he screams in despair.]
