- Gilbert Dullindal: [to Athrun Zala] But the things you are capable of doing, and the things you want to do... You should be the one who is most aware of the answers to those.
- Athrun Zala: [to Shinn Asuka] Everyone who has cried over being powerless feels that way, I think. But, from the moment you take that power into your hand, you'll become the person who will make others cry. Don't you ever forget that.
- Athrun Zala: We will be going out into the battlefield again soon. Should you forget that at that time, losing yourself to your own selfish reasoning and sense of justice, you'll become a destroyer, using your power recklessly against others.
- Athrun Zala: You're not like that, right?
- Cagalli Yula Athha: However, too much power will lead to another conflict!
- Gilbert Dullindal: No, Princess. Power is necessary because there will always be conflict.
- [Special Edition]
- Athrun Zala: Something had started to sprout. Whether that was a good thing or a bad thing, we had yet to find out. But since time stops for no man, we have no choice but to move along. Because, likely, that is what it means to live.
- Uzumi Nara Attha: Power is no more than just that, power. Foolish are those who hope for it in excess, yet equally foolish are those who resent it for no apparent reason.
- Athrun Zala: The Justice...
- Lacus Clyne: Yes.
- Athrun Zala: For me?
- Lacus Clyne: Possibly. That's for you to decide.
- Athrun Zala: Are you trying to tell me that I am nothing but a soldier?
- Lacus Clyne: That too is something for you to decide. It's scary when someone closes their mind. "This is it... That's all there is." They only see an end.
- [subtitled version]
- Athrun Zala: So that's when you came up with this idea? You thought to yourself, "If only I had the power. If only I could get the power."
- Shinn Asuka: Why are you saying this?
- Athrun Zala: Anyone who's ever cried because of their lack of power would think the same thing. Likely. But the moment you get that power, you become the one causing others to cry. Never forget that.
- Uzumi Nara Attha: We will not invade another nation, will not allow another nation to invade, and will not intervene in the conflicts of other nations.
- Gilbert Dullindal: [to Athrun] I didn't want to put you in the ordinary chain of command... I'm sure you don't want that either. Just think of it as a measure for convenience. After all, its name, FAITH, suggests the pledging of loyalty. After all, you just have to pledge loyalty to your own beliefs and truths.
- Athrun Zala: Chairman...
- Gilbert Dullindal: You are someone who abides by what you believe regardless of current trends, and someone who is capable of fighting when it is necessary, aren't you?
- Mia Campbell: He said, "I am in need of your power now... for the sake of PLANT." That's why...
- Athrun Zala: It's not your power... but Lacus's that he needs.
- Mia Campbell: That's true. But for now... No. It's not only now, isn't it? Lacus-san is always needed by everyone. She's always so strong, pretty, and gentle. Mia isn't needed by anyone. That's why it's okay even if it is just for now. As long as I can be of help to the Chairman and the people, in place of Lacus-san who is not here, I am happy to do so.
- Yzak Jule: Come back, Athrun. There may be quite a few issues, but I'll do something about that. So, come back to PLANT. You're...
- Athrun Zala: But...
- Yzak Jule: Both he and I should have died a long time ago. But Chairman Dullindal said this: "The youths who got involved and killed in a war started by adults... Should we say they've sinned and punish them now? If we do that, who exactly will carry the future of PLANT? It is precisely because they have been through those tough times that I want them to be the ones to create a peaceful future." That's why I still don that military uniform, even now. Even thought that's the only thing I can do, I'm sure I can still make something out of it for the good of PLANT and for my friends who have passed away.
- Athrun Zala: Yzak.
- Yzak Jule: That is why you should do something as well. Are you planning to let all that power go to waste?
- Yuna Roma Seiran: [to Cagalli] This country is not your toy! Stop saying things influenced by sentimentalism!
- Kira Yamato: The flowers have finally bloomed, but unfortunately they will wither because of the crashing waves.
- Shinn Asuka: Perhaps it means they can't be fooled. No matter how beautiful the flowers are, people will wipe them out again anyway.
- Kira Yamato: [to Shinn Asuka] No matter how badly things get blown apart, we will always plant flowers again. I'm sure.
- Lacus Clyne: We are about to destroy that useless weapon of mass destruction. That thing is not necessary to protect people, and unnecessary for battle! If you have any pride left in the uniform you wear, if you want to fight for the sake of peace, you will let us through!
- Athrun Zala: You seem to have some type of grudge against Orb. May I ask why? I thought you used to live there. If you're looking for some trivial excuse to drag the representative into an irrelevant fight, I won't stand for it.
- Shinn Asuka: Trivial! I won't let anyone call it trivial, and you're wrong about it being irrelevant too. I lost my entire family because of the Athhas. They believed in the nation, and they believed and your so-called ideals. And in the end, they were all killed at Onogoro.
- [Shinn turns toward Cagalli who then gasps at the anger in his eyes]
- Shinn Asuka: That's why I will never believe a word that you say. I'll never believe in Orb. I'll never believe any of your self-serving lies again. When you said you were going to uphold justice, did you ever stop and think of the innocents? Of how many people would die because you insisted on following through your values to the bitter end?
- [Cagalli recalls the deaths of M1 Astray pilots Mayura Labatt, Juri Wu Nien, and Asagi Caldwell]
- Shinn Asuka: I wish people who didn't understand stuff, wouldn't talk about things as if they did.
