• Char Aznable : Lalah Sune was a young woman who may very well have become a mother to me, you took her away her life, so don't you dare judge me!

  Amuro Ray : Lalah... Lalah?

• Char Aznable : [giving speech to people]  This colony, Sweetwater, was built by patching together a closed type to an open type and is therefore, very unstable. It was made hastily in order to accommodate those refugees, who had survived the past space wars. This was the only measure taken by the Earth Federation government. They concluded that everything was fine as long as they made a container to stick the refugees in. They remained on Earth and refused to share the planet. My father, Zeon Deikun, had made a request to Earth for autonomy for all space immigrants known as 'spacenoids', but he was assassinated by the Zabi family. The Zabis had called themselves the Principality of Zeon and it launched a war of independence against the Earth. You know how it was to end, with the Zabis losing the war, which sealed their fate. But the Earth's government had grown arrogant. The Federation forces had become corrupt from within, giving birth to rogue Federation movements like the Titans and resulting in the brazen activities of Haman, who had falsely claimed to be a protector of the Zabi family. This history has made us all refugees!

  Quess Paraya : Well, yeah. I knew all that.

  Char Aznable : What is our future reflecting on this tragic history? I firmly believe mankind must do everything to prevent war from rising up again. This is the true purpose behind our operation to drop Axis onto Earth. To change history, hence we will discipline the people who continue to live on Earth and eliminate the source of any wars in Earth's sphere!

  [all of the people cheer and applause] 

  Quess Paraya : But I think the Zeon themselves have learning too? Was that alive?

  Char Aznable : Everyone! So that we may forge our own path and establish a government for the refugees. I ask you, lend me your great strength for just a little while longer! When we've succeeded, I will then be able to join my father, Zeon!

  [people cheer] 

• Amuro Ray : We fought together, Char! Why do you want to destroy the Earth now?

  Char Aznable : The people on earth do nothing but pollute it. Their souls are weighed down by gravity.
