Schneizel quotes from Code Geass

It is your king.

If the king does not lead, then how can he expect his subordinates to follow?

Schneizel

Impressive strategy. In fact, I will do the same.

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.

Schneizel

Yes? What about it?

Cornelia

You mean the people of Pendragon were...

Schneizel

I made them vanish. It was better for them than a life-swearing loyalty to Lelouch, wouldn't you say?

Cornelia

They're our own people! And you told Nunnally...

Schneizel

Lies are expedient. There's no need to tell Nunnally things that would get in the way of her opposition to Lelouch is there? She'll never know the difference.

Cornelia

You use everyone...even your own sister?

Schneizel

Cornelia, what is it that people truly want? Starvation and poverty? Discrimination and corruption? War and terrorism? They want the problems that are flooding the world to go away forever. People can't understand each other under these situations at all.

Cornelia

Your theories don't justify butchering civilians!

Schneizel

Even civilians who have rejected war depend on the police, don't they? Everyone knows, don't they, that people are driven by their own desires. The lust that dwells within the soul of man cannot be denied. [Schneizel pushes three buttons on a panel to have a world map appear on the monitor.] So why win hearts and minds or tout some shining ideology, why not bring peace to the world with system and power? In ten days, Damocles will enter the airspace of the United States of China and then switch over to a secondary acceleration. After that, we're scheduled to ascend three-hundred kilometers above the surface. From there, we will hit every enemy nation with F.L.E.I.J.A.s.

Cornelia

Are you insane?! We only agreed to use them against Lelouch! This will destroy the world! You're trying to control people through fear!

Schneizel

Mankind's history is war. Peace is an illusion. To turn illusion into reality is a arduous task. It requires discipline.

Cornelia

And you plan to discipline the entire human race all by yourself?! Only a god could pull that off!

Schneizel

Then I shall become a god. If that is what it takes to bring peace to the world.

Cornelia

You're deranged...[Diethard and Kanon enter.]

Diethard

Magnificent! I knew I was right to change sides and support you! Surpassing Zero's chaos with a state of perfect nothingness and a kaleidoscopic transformation!

Prince Scneizel, we've made contact with the Black Knights. They say if you plan to kill Lelouch, they're willing to join immediately.

Schneizel

Thank you, Kanon. [At Cornelia] Those who've experienced Lelouch's tyranny firsthand will have no alternative but to choose the lesser of evils.

Cornelia

Is that why you stayed back and let Lelouch get away with this until now?!

Schneizel

It was a way to minimize the damage. But in the end, if we have to sacrifice one or two billion lives to achieve a state of permanent peace...

Cornelia

You're wrong! Peace obtained by force is not peace! [Draws her sword and charges at Schneizel. Schneizel snaps his fingers which activate a hidden machine gun which guns down Cornelia.]

Schneizel

This is so sad, Cornelia.
