I'm Lacus. Because I am, aren't I!? Because my voice and face are the same! What's wrong with that!?

S1 E15Unfinished Business
Why did it turn out like this? Even if we think about it, we already know it is meaningless, yet my heart is wandering in search for it. We experienced a devastating war not too long ago, and we swore at that time that we would never repeat such catastrophes again. And yet, Junius-7 has fallen, our efforts were in vain, and hostilities have opened up once again. The war has spread without any protest, and we have gained the same sadness and pain once again.
Honestly, what is the meaning of the foolish repetition of a tragedy? For once, as I have mentioned in the past, the cause was definitely due to the existence of Logos. Those who fabricated false enemies, stirred fear into the hearts and minds of the innocent, and made people fight against one another, while reaping the ill-received gains of war. Those behind the scenes fueled this conflict with disastrous results, leading to the deaths of countless individuals; these people deserve to be named “The Merchants of Death”. We, after this long struggle have triumphed and defeated them. That is why I dare to address this... that we have to fight an enemy that has existed since the beginning of time. We have to overcome and release its influence it has on all of us.
Everyone must be well aware of it by now; it is the reason why ever since man had the capacity to understand, conflicts never disappear from human history. Our greatest enemy is ever-present is the ignorance and desire within us that we can never keep subdued. We distanced ourselves from the violent Earth and took refuge in space, and now that we have achieved the physical and mental abilities we desired above all else, people still do not understand each other. They still do not understand themselves, and with fear blocking their judgment, people cannot see the future.
As equals? No, with more riches and more enjoyment, the hand that grasps those evil desires within all of us... that is what we have become today: the seed of all conflicts. But the time has come to put an end to all this endless suffering. We have achieved a way to subdue all of that, and the only true answer is within us. All of mankind’s greatest questions are within all our bodies. With this, people will be able to understand their own, as well as others past and future. This is the only cure to prevent the infinite cycle of pain and suffering. As my final escort plan, with all of mankind’s future at stake, I hereby declare the execution of the Destiny Plan.
War is a part of politics, in which the whole picture cannot be read.
We are all born to this world as flawed children. So this time, we must end everything, in order not to let any more children like us be born again!
Kira Yamato...! You shouldn't have been allowed... [scene changes to that of Rau, two years ago] ...to exist, boy!
Orb is more important than us. Orb is the only thing left standing on in the way of their plan. If we lose Orb, we lose the world, we must protect it at all cost! So Athrun, Captain Ramius, please go. Now hurry!
Rey! Freedom, you bastard!
Shinn, join forces with the Minerva, go after the Archangel. I will deal with the Freedom.
No, Rey!
You take care of the Justice, and make sure you get that traitor. To everything that happened before.
Yes, I understand!
That's right, the end is ahead...
[seeing flashbacks of his final duel with Rau le Creuset] What's this? How is this possible?
This time for certain...
It can't be.
THE END OF EVERYTHING!
Who is that? Who are you?
[as Rau le Creuset] I'm sure you recognize me now... I am Rau le Creuset!
They've got a lot of guys, yep. But you need more than just numbers!
I have to admit, it's amazing.
[appearing as a ghost beside him] What is?
The fights...the battles...the wars. People really love to fight, don't they?
And how are you different?
All I want is to win. Preferably without fighting.
But you know, there are some things that you can't win.
[thinks of Talia] Yes...I lost that day. Sometimes even when you fight, you can't win; an unobtainable victory. Then...why do people fight, even when death is inevitable? Why are we even born, for that matter?
[laughs] Like I said before: they exist only to find out that reason. You probably don't like that answer, though.
That's right. I'm sorry, but I'll have nothing to do with it; I will not be caught in an internal struggle, nor will I lose...like you did.
Rau le Creuset?
Mankind's dreams... mankind's future! You are the splendid result: Kira Yamato! And because of that, your existence must come to an end... you will disappear along with us...! For the sake of the new world that is to come!!
Gil, where's Rau?
Rau is no longer with us. But you are also Rau. That is your destiny.
[flashback] The one thing you cannot run away from is yourself.
[to Kira] And one thing you cannot recover is your past! That's why... we must put an end to all of this, to sweep everything away! So we shall return what we were meant to be! Humanity... the world!!
No, you're wrong! We all have just one life to live. This is your life you're living, not his!
[Kira then attacks Rey in burst mode destroying Legend in the process]
