Zero quotes from Code Geass

[speaking to the Black Knights] Change will never come about it you don't make it happen!

People! Fear us, or rally behind us as you see fit! We are the Black Knights!

Black Knights?

Lloyd

Ironic, isn't it? The terrorists referring to themselves as knights?

We of the Black Knights stand with all those who have no weapons to wield…regardless of whether they be Elevens or Britannians! The Japan Liberation Front cowardly took innocent Britannian civilians hostage, and they mercilessly executed them! It was a wanton and meaningless act; therefore, they have been punished…

Diethard

You heard me right! I said let it run! Liable?! I'll be the one responsible for this!

…just as former Viceroy Clovis was punished for ordering the slaughter of countless unarmed Elevens. We cannot stand by and allow such cruelty to be carried out, and so we made him pay for his actions. I will not repudiate battle on a fair and level field, but neither will I tolerate a one-sided massacre of the weak by the strong. The only ones who should kill are those who are prepared to be killed! Wherever oppressors abuse their power by attacking those who are powerless, we shall appear again, no matter how mighty or formidable our foe may be!

Kallen

(Thinking.) Knights…for justice?

Those of you with power, fear us! Those of you without it, rally behind us! We, the Black Knights, shall be the ones who stand in judgment of this world!

Euphemia

[after Lelouch agreed with the Admninistrative Zone of Japan] Do you seriously think I'm going to shoot you even if you threaten me?

No, I don't. But no one escapes my commands. I have the power to command anyone as they forcefully obey.

Euphemia

[giggles] Stop it, Lelouch, you're being silly.

I'm serious. If I order you to kill me, shoot Suzaku, or even if I tell you to kill all the Japanese, you will follow me with no hesitation.

Euphemia

[with Lelouch's geass on her] No... N-no, I can't... I d-don't want to kill... W-why...? I-it can't be, I can't... kill... [kneeled down]

[just realized he has activated his geass unknowingly to Euphemia] It can't be! I'm like Mao--I can't control my geass anymore!

No, Euphy! Forget that order!

Euphemia

[Lelouch's geass completely devoured her] That's right, I must kill all Japanese.

No, Euphy!!

Princess! Where's Zero?

Euphemia

[to all] To all those who call themselves Japanese, I have a favor to ask! Do you all mind dying?

Is she insane?

She must be out of her mind!

Euphemia

I want you all to just simply fall off the cliff but it's impossible, right? So I order all my fellow Britannians--kill all the Japanese!

What are you saying princess? Please stop this nonsense and-- [Euphemia shoots him]

Euphemia

I'm sorry, but I must do this. I must kill all Japanese. Go ahead, Britannian Soldiers! Hurry and kill every Japanese here!

Euphy! Stop this! [Britannian guards blocked Zero] No, get out of my way... [activated his geass] GET OUT!

Euphemia

See? We need to kill all Japanese. So what are you waiting for? Kill them and don't let a single one alive!

Kaguya!

Well, our wedding present has arrived on its own accord. My, this worked out wonderfully.

You're giving them Kaguya too?!

Put that girl out of your mind, her crimes warrant of the death penalty.

No you can't! That's wrong! This isn't Britannia!

Your Majesty, the Black Knights are the ones who killed Gao Hai. Please don't get involved and leave the politics to us. Isn't that what you always done? Let's us handle things our way.

But... She's a friend.

Schneizel

Can we please stop this quarreling now? Today's the day of celebration, it is not?

But, sir...

Schneizel

Miss Sumeragi, would you refrain of having Zero accompanying me to the wedding tomorrow?

I suppose... I don't have much of a choice, do I?

If that is the wish of the Prime Minister of Britannia. Then, withdraw!

So Schneizel, you appeared right before me. (Suzaku is protecting Prince Schneizel) Hmph, as watchful as ever I see.

Kaguya

Suzaku Kururugi, do you remember me? We're cousins you and I.

Suzaku

Of course, I do.

Kaguya

We're the last remaining survivors of the Six Houses of Kyoto, aren't we?

Suzaku

Taizō Kirihara and the others supported terrorists. Nothing could've stay their executions.

Kaguya

But this is different. Cousin, did you forget that Master Zero once saved your life. Do you plan to execute someone you own your life to?

Suzaku

There's no comparison.

Kaguya

Oh, how sad! It's a good thing we're not able to kill anybody nearly of the words we say.

Prince Schneizel, would you care for a game of chess?

Schneizel

Chess?

If I win, I like to have Sir Kururugi.

Suzaku

Huh?

Kallen

What?

I want to give him to you, Lady Kaguya.

Oh! How it will be a absolutely marvelous present!

Enjoy your anticipation of it. (Thinking) If I can get Suzaku out of here, I can use my Geass on all the others. A checkmate that will turn everything around.

Schneizel

I'll agreed to you on terms. However, If you lose, I want you to remove your mask and show your face.

Agreed.

Schneizel

What a fine evening of entertainment this has turned into.

Kallen, it's good you made it back. I'm sorry it took so long to get you out.

Kallen

Lelouch, listen, when I was imprisoned, I happened to talk to Nunnally. She stood up for me and she saved me.

I see.

Surrender, Zero!

How dare you try to run a con game on us?

Ohgi

We know everything about your Geass power!

Diethard

Zero, the renowned hero, died in battle before he could triumph, but his gallant life and daring deeds will continue to live on in myth and legend.

Is that the script you've written for me, Diethard?

Diethard

Actually, I wanted to film your brilliant campaign and glorious victory over Britannia, but I'm afraid that show's been permanently cancelled.

[thinking] What do I do? Knightmares are beyond my reach, but Ohgi and the others are defenseless. If I can use my Geass secretly...

Everybody trusted you, Zero.

Inoue and Yoshida sacrifice their lives for you.

Kallen

Wait a minute! This is all one-sided! Look at how far we've come because of Zero. At least let him answer!

Tamaki

You're in the way, Kallen!

Do you want to die with Zero?

Don't tell me he used his Geass on you, too?

Kallen

I need an answer, Lelouch. What do I mean to you? I have to know. If I could stay with you, I would. Please.

(thinking) Schneizel! You made your move and now you're calling check. There's no way out of this for me. It's over!

Kallen

Please answer me, Lelouch.

(laughing) Fools! You finally figured it out. That I've been using you all along. That's right. You're all just pawns in my game.

Ohgi

Zero, so you really are...

Tamaki

Zero!

Kallen

Lelouch, no...

Kallen. You were my most useful piece. Much like a well-played knight. This whole world was the board for the game, and all for my entertainment.

Kallen

I see. Goodbye then, Lelouch.

Get ready!

[whispering] Kallen, you have to live.

Fire!
