S1 E15Unfinished Business
Kira... fails to see he's being manipulated by the Naturals! Brilliant as he is, he is also naive and good-natured. They're exploiting him, but he's blind to it. That's why I have to go back! I have to reason with him! Kira is still a fellow Coordinator! I'm positive that he'll come around to our way of thinking.
I know how you feel. However, what if he won't listen to you?
If that should happen... I'll shoot him down myself.
It's not that I want to fight... but I do want to protect this ship. Because of the people on board.
It's the same for us all. You won't find too many people who wish to fight for no reason at all. We fight because unless we fight, we cannot protect.
In any case, think only about protecting this ship and yourself.
Mu La Flaga, taking off! Don't let them sink you before I return!
Athrun, what are you up to?
I'm taking you to the Gamow.
Get serious. I'm not going to set foot on any ZAFT ship.
You are a Coordinator. You're one of us, Kira.
No, I won't join ZAFT!
That's enough, Kira. Quiet! Just let me take you. Otherwise... otherwise, I'll have no choice but to shoot you.
Athrun...
I already lost my mom at Bloody Valentine. That's why...
Stupid bastard! Are you out of your mind? If it hadn't been your interfering for no reason...
Quite the little disaster. And all because you had to disobey orders.
What are you doing? This isn't the place. Stop it!
We went out in four machines, and we still couldn't get him. It's too humilating for words.
You can take it out on Athrun all you want. But it won't change anything, will it?
[After Yzak and Dearka leave in a huff.]
Athrun, I can't help but think that this isn't like you. So if you...
Could you just let me be alone for a while? Okay?
[Exits locker room and slams his fist against the wall.]
Kira...
So what's the strategy then? Kick back until they come out?
Trial and error of an untested system. I really hope it works.
[Regarding the Blitz's mirage colloid.]
It seems appropriate for Nicol. A weapon fit for a coward.
Why can't you go away and let us live in peace?
[Regarding Kira being with the Alliance and operating the Strike against his kind.]
GGarcia
But you're already a traitor to your fellow Coordinators, are you not?
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.
I am a man who can make the impossible possible.
Give me a break. The minute we solve the problem with the supplies, we get thrown another in the form of a pink-haired princess.
