Patrick Zala quotes from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED

Patrick Zala

We fight because it is the only way that we can protect ourselves. If we must fight so that we may protect, then we have no choice but to fight.

Patrick Zala

There is no meaning in fighting a war unless one can end it in victory.

Patrick Zala

As we embark on this historic day, we pray that this operation will lead to true freedom and justice.

Patrick Zala

Damn those Natural scum!

Patrick Zala

All you Naturals mark this moment well. Let this light usher in the creation of the Coordinators' world! NOW FIRE!!!

Patrick Zala

This is no longer a war, it is a campaign of extermination!

Patrick Zala

[to Athrun, as he is dying] Fire Genesis... we must... make the... world... ours...

Patrick Zala

We Coordinators are very different; we should view ourselves as a completely new species. There's no reason to cooexist with Naturals.

How can you call us a new species when signs indicate that we are nearing the end of our road? Even with our push toward regulated marriage, birth rates among third-generation Coordinators are declining!

Patrick Zala

We can no longer throw away our power and turn back from our evolutionary path so that we may return to being Naturals.

You still fail to grasp the underlying truth, Patrick: we didn't evolve.

Athrun Zala

Father . . .

Patrick Zala

What did you call me?

Athrun Zala

My-my apologies, Chairman Zala.

Patrick Zala

What's going on? What happened? Where's Justice? And what happpened to the Freedom?

Athrun Zala

First things first. I have a question for you. What exactly are your true intentions regarding this war?

Patrick Zala

What did you say?!

Athrun Zala

You heard me, Father. How long are we going to keep fighting this war?

Patrick Zala

What are you blathering about? What's important is the mission you were assigned. Now stop wasting time and make your report!

Athrun Zala

I came back... because I felt I had to ask that one question in person. That's it, Father.

Patrick Zala

Athrun, you little bastard!

Athrun Zala

All you can think about is meeting power with more power! Tell me, Father, is that really your true intention? Do you believe that will ever bring an end to this war?

Patrick Zala

Of course it will! When the very last Natural is dead, this war will end!

Patrick Zala

Now tell me, Athrun, what happened to our machines, the Justice and the Freedom? And answer carefully because I forgive no one!

Athrun Zala

Are you serious? Do you mean what you just said, Father? About how you want all the Naturals dead?

Patrick Zala

That's the whole point of this war! That reason and that reason alone is why we are fighting this war! How could you possibly have forgotten that fact?

Patrick Zala

Don't kill this fool! There are still some things he needs to tell me.

Yes, sir!

Patrick Zala

Take him away and pry the location of the Justice and the Freedom out of him. Use whatever means of persuasion you find necessary. I'm very disappointed, Athrun.

Athrun Zala

I feel the same way.

Patrick Zala

Le Creuset... I'm only going to say this once: no more blunders. To make up for not destroying the Eternal, the least you can do is prevent them from attacking the PLANTs with it.

Even if that means killing Athrun, Your Excellency?

Patrick Zala

Of course!

Very well then, sir. Excuse me.

Patrick Zala

They're right there! Our enemies are still out there! Why would you even suggest we not fire it? We must fire it again, before they have a chance to retaliate! The enemy must be annihilated! Why can't you all understand that?

Your Excellency, our forces are still in the line of fire!

Patrick Zala

All of our soldiers are fighting for one thing: victory! I'm sure they're prepared to pay the cost!

But, sir...!

You... bastard...!
