Code Geass Season 1 DVD Magazine 2 : Best phrase award (Stage 14 ~25) Crack / Not Canon
The best phrase award videos are specials from the Code Geass dvd, with the best voted scene/lines of the show being commented by some of the cast;
While it's obviously very crackish since the characters break the 4th wall, it's still very good fun and it even allowed us to learn what was the full line of Stage 14 infamous Lelouch dialogue to Shirley, while he was erasing her memories, since it's mentionned twice in there, as a fact, not as speculation.
So some good Shirley/Lelouch food I guess, and some good crack for those who are fond of this kind of content.
This post is about best scenes from Stage 14 to 25.
DVD Magazine II: Best Phrase Award (Stage 14 ~ 25)
Milly and Shirley introduce the corner; Shirley: "This is also where we bully Lelouch!". They then introduce themselves:
Omniscient Other-dimension Milly Ashford ("In other words, I am... God!")
Omniscient Other-dimension Shirley Fenette ("If you're a God, then I'm an... Angel!")
Lelouch makes his dramatic appearance here: And I'm the protagoni--
Shirley: SHIRLEY PUNCH!!!
Shirley: I get really annoyed when I'm not the one in the spotlight.
Milly: (to Lelouch) "We'll call for you later, so wait patiently, you."
10. [Cornelia] With that you are now a Knight, in name and in fact. Go, Kururugi Suzaku!
Milly gushes over Cornelia (she's apparently a huge fan of Cornelia and her No-Nonsense personality); Shirley then says, a little too innocently:
"So I guess Nina goes for Euphie, and Kaichou's all for Cornelia."
Milly: (sweatdrop) No no no, it's just that I find it really MOERU, this scene of Cornelia finally acknowledging and entrusting her hopes to Suzaku, who she once considered an enemy. Oh, I meant the hot-blooded kind of Moe, by the way.
Shirley: Actually, I think Cornelia, for all her hostility, was one of the first characters to acknowledge Suzaku.
Milly: (surprised) Really?
Shirley: Apparently Cornelia ordered Suzaku to execute Toudou because she thought it would be an achievement no one would dare cast doubt on. She did it for his sake.
Milly: (sigh) I don't think any normal person would do that "for someone's sake".
9. [Chigusa] I... I don't mind being an Eleven..
Shirley and Milly both sigh wistfully at this little, quiet love blooming against a backdrop of war and death.
Milly: Though I'll admit I was surprised: does losing one's memory result in such a drastic change of personality?
Shirley: I think Villetta had this side to her all along, actually.
Milly: (grin) I see. And then we have a certain someone whose personality stays exactly the same even with her memory gone.
Shirley: (pout) Are you talking about me!?
Milly, without missing a beat, changes the subject--
8. [Shirley] The morning will come. [...] Well, there are a lot of sad things you can't just forget, but... But the morning will come, right?
Milly: The morning will come... what a lovely line! Shirley was trying to cheer Lelouch up here, you know, even though she was still grieving over the loss of her father and all.
Shirley: (a little lacking in humility) Yes, that's right. I've never seen anyone's daughter turn out so strong and fine! I can totally understand why Lelouch would say something like, "If there's a next life for the both of us, let us be lovers.".
[***note: This is the first official? confirmation of what Lelouch was trying to say there, AFAIK]
Milly: (grin) Well, talk is free, after all, as I'm sure Lelouch knows very well.
Shirley: (annoyed) Would you like a Shirley Punch too, Kaichou?
Milly quickly turns her "offer" down...
7. [Schneizel] It's true. Nary a flower nor butterfly flitting in a ball shine brighter than you do on the battlefield. Yes, you're just like The Flash.
Shirley: I'm surprised Schneizel managed to say something like that with a completely straight face.
Milly: He's a... "People-Killer". (*note: as opposed to "Lady-killer")
Shirley: (surprised) People-Killer?
Milly: He's the sort of person who knows what someone wants to be told, deep down, and he tells them exactly that. For example, Cornelia, who deeply admired Marianne the Flash, was told "You're just like the Flash herself."
Shirley: (sweatdrop) When you put it like that, his motives don't sound all that... pure.
Milly: And that's how both Cecile-san and General Bartley fell prey to his charms.
Shirley: General Bartley, too...?
Milly: To all the li'l kittens in front of the screen -- be careful of men like him!
Shirley: And now let's call on our first guest...
6. [Kallen] LIKE HELL I'D DO IT!!!! [...] Hmph! The only person capable of ordering me around is Zero, and him alone.
Kallen: LIKE HELL I'D DO IT!!!! (sigh) ...Hello. Kouzuki Kallen -- Japanese -- here.
Milly: (sweatdrop) Wow, that's some point she's making there. Not to mention she's in a real sulk right now...
Shirley: We've never seen this Sulky side of Kallen, have we?
Frail Kallen: Um, could you please refrain from using the word "Sulky"?
Milly: (grin) SO! How is it? How do you feel about Zero -- the only person allowed to order you around -- turning out to be Lelouch himself?
Frail Kallen: (sigh) I... really don't want to acknowledge this as fact.
Shirley: Was it totally unexpected for you?
Kallen: (explodes) WELL YEAH, OBVIOUSLY! Lelouch's just a bratty no-gooder, all talk and nothing else!
Milly: Completely different from the Zero you admired, huh.
Shirley: So... what are you going to do when Lelouch orders you around in the future?
Kallen: (sigh) ...That would be... a problem, yes...
Milly: (surprised) I thought you might like Lelouch better now.
Kallen: Oh, I wonder about that! Or rather, can we pretend all that never happened? Who should I ask? The Director!? The scriptwriters!?
Milly: (sweatdrop) Um... I think that's probably impossible now.
Kallen: (sigh) What'll become of us in the sequel...?
5. [Zero] Goodbye, Euphie. You were perhaps... my first love...
4. [C.C.] It's fine...! ...No, I suppose I am a little worried. Win, Lelouch. Win against your past, and the consequences of your actions.
Shirley calls on their second guest...
Lelouch: Lelouch Lamperouge.
Kallen: (softly, to herself; but with clear distaste) Ugh, he's here.
Lelouch begins to complain about the show: the long wait-time, the lack of hairstylists and make-up artists, getting Shirley Punch'd, etc. etc..
Shirley ignores him, and continues on: "Lelouch's Women Problems, No. 5 and No. 4, revealed." (annoyed, sulky look)
Milly and Kallen: (simultaneous evil grins)
Lelouch: That's an invasion of privacy.
Milly: Still, you can't possibly deny that you've been behaving like a total playboy, especially when compared to Suzaku and Rivalz.
Kallen: (obnoxious smirk) Hmm~m? So Lelouch liked the pink princess, eh?
Shirley: (annoyed) And he fed me that line about reincarnation and becoming lovers and stuff in Narita, too!
Milly: And after that he kissed C.C.-san!
Kallen: (obnoxious smirk) Just what is going on with you?
Lelouch: What is going on here, is what I'd like to know. What is this, some kind of class reunion!?
Frail Kallen: Please reflect on your actions, Lelouch-kun~
Lelouch: ...Is no one planning on asking relevant questions about my Best Phrase?
Milly: Hey hey -- so what was it about Euphemia-sama that you loved?
Lelouch: (>__<) Learn to be more subtle with your questions!
Milly: (whine) I want to know! This episode was really depressing, you know.
Lelouch: It can't be helped!
Shirley: (annoyed) "It can't be helped"? That's all you have to say about your actions!?
Lelouch: (>__<) No, I didn't mean it that way!
Kallen: (sigh) ...I ...think I've been seriously let down...
Frail Kallen: (in a sort of depressed, guess-it-can't-be-helped voice) Sorry, you'll have to excuse me... (leaves)
Milly: ...Wow, she really is depressed about this.
3. [Orange] Good Morning'd.
Milly and Shirley start fangirling over "Orange-san".
Shirley: (fangirl-mode) I love the way he says it... so sexy!
Lelouch: (annoyed) This... qualifies as a Famous Quote? It is clearly grammatically unsound.
Milly: But it's funny, isn't it?
Lelouch: (annoyed) So you only criterion for this is... how "funny" it is?
Lelouch: ...Are you saying I should be funny, too?
Milly: Nah, it's alright -- you're funny enough as is.
Shirley: Hey Lelou, why did Orange-san turn out that way, anyway?
Lelouch: He was experimented on by Bartley.
Shirley: What kind of experiment?
Lelouch: Bartley was the person who used C.C. as a guinea pig. Upon Orange's awakening, the data for "Code-R" can be seen on the monitor screen. ...In other words... that's how it is.
Shirley: Huh!? I don't get it at all!
Lelouch: That's alright. The viewers in front of the TV know what I'm talking about.
Shirley: Ooh, that just pisses me off!
2. [Euphie] Suzaku! I um... you... um... uuummm... You are to fall in love with me! [...] In return, I will love you!
Shirley: (in total admiration) I can't believe she actually said that!
Milly: (grin) That's because you don't have the courage to say things like that.
Shirley: Oh, just leave it! (fangirl mode) I have this scene recorded, with the title: "The Scorching Fastball of Love"!
Milly: And Suzaku's really something, isn't he, to be able to catch this "Scorching Fastball". (grin) Lelouch, you're jealous, aren't you?
Lelouch: (quietly) ...no, not really...
Shirley: I wonder which one of the two he's jealous of?
Milly and Lelouch: >__<''
Milly: Um, that's not something you'd normally think about, is it?
Shirley: (innocently) I'm just speaking out on behalf of the female fanbase.
Milly: Come to think of it, I wonder how many people listened in on this confession.
Shirley: Oh right, this was done over a communications channel, wasn't it? I'm surprised you thought of it.
Milly: C'mon, this is a public confession we're talking about here! Everyone wants to know!
Lelouch: That was a private channel, for military use only. The only person who overheard was the operator -- Cecile Croomy.
Milly: Oh, I see. Must have been awkward for Cecile-san. Not like she can just plug her ears and not listen.
Lelouch: Well, after that, I suppose Schneizel might have checked the communications records and said, "Ahahahaha, that was truly a masterpiece, Euphie." </schneizel>
Shirley: (sweatdrop) I can actually imagine him doing that, yes.
Lelouch: By the way, Euphie's the sort of person who does the things she wants to do passionately and wholeheartedly -- while completely oblivious to what's going on around her. She's been like that ever since she was little.
Milly: So that's what you like about her, huh~
Lelouch: (>__<) Stop that! Is this some kind of grade schoolers' pajama party!?
Shirley changes the subject --
1. [Lelouch] I'll welcome you with open arms. After all, we're friends, aren't we? Fuhahaha... hahahahaha... hahahahaha!
Lelouch: In the end, every heart is shot down by my beautiful lines!
Milly: Has there ever been a protagonist capable of using the word "Friend" in such an evil sense? This unprecedented form of dark villainy has won critical praise!
Lelouch: ...You're interpreting things in an evil light again.
Shirley: But that's the straight-on interpretation of it, isn't it?
Milly: Yes... it just screams "BRING IT! YOU'LL BE THE ONE GOING DOWN! I'LL BEAT YOU TO A PULP AND SEND YOU OFF CRYING!".
Shirley: Are we mistaken?
Milly: Looking back on it now, I suppose this is what he had to say after Suzaku told him "I'm coming to kill you now."
Lelouch: Hmph, I don't care for your interpretations. We're good friends, Suzaku and me.
Shirley: "The person who's been tied down by rules and orders has finally come to kill Zero! That deserves a maniacal laugh!" ...by Lelouch's inner monologue, something like that?
Lelouch: CAN'T YOU LISTEN TO WHAT I'M SAYING FOR ONCE!?
Milly: But you set a proper trap, didn't you?
Lelouch: But of course! I don't see any point in fighting an idiot with reflexes and nothing much else fair and square. My best character trait is my intelligence!
Milly: (sweatdrop) I think that sort of thinking is exactly what's been rubbing Suzaku the wrong way all this time.
Shirley then asks Lelouch about his thoughts on his role in the sequel; Lelouch pauses to think for a moment.
Milly: Moar liek... are you even in the sequel?
Lelouch: (SHOCK) Me, not in the sequel!?
Shirley: Come to think of it, there was that one gunshot in the final scene... BANG!
Milly: Alright, hypothetically speaking: If you were in the sequel, what would you do?
Lelouch: (annoyed) ... As mentioned before... I won't change! My goals, my methods, the things I want to protect... my wrath, too!
Milly: That's... kind of hard to understand, but I guess in a nutshell he's saying "I will still be shamelessly doing all sorts of dirty tricks unbecoming of a protagonist in the sequel! Be sure to tune in!" -- something like that.
Lelouch: (>__<) ...I get it... fine... ...whatever...
Shirley: (sweatdrop) He... acknowledged it.
Lelouch then Geasses the viewers into watching the sequel every week.
