Mu La Flaga and Kira Yamato in “Unfinished Business”

Kira Yamato.

Kira Yamato

Yes?

Mr. Murdoch is pretty upset, you know? We don't have enough people. So, you maintain your machine, okay?

Kira Yamato

My machine? Wait! What do you mean "my machine"?

Well, let's just say that's what's been decided. The fact is, you're the only one capable of piloting that thing. It can't be helped.

Kira Yamato

Sure, I rode the thing twice, only because I had no choice! But I'm not a soldier or anything!

So, when the fighting starts again, you refuse to use it? Are those going to be your last words, huh?

At that moment, you and I are the only ones who can protect this ship.

Kira Yamato

But I don't think it's...!

Kira, you have the power to make a difference, don't you? Then why not put it to use. We have precious little time, including time to think it over.
