• L : [to NPA members as they show their ID's]  Bang!

• L : [to the members of National Police Agency]  Please do not give out your names so carelessly. Instead, let's value your lives.

• L : Just one clue... a single decisive factor is all I need.

  Light Yagami : Just one oversight... a single piece of evidence that's all it would take. It could cost me my life.

  L , Light Yagami : Just one thing...

• Tôta Matsuda : If we know that he needs a name and a face to kill, couldn't we cut down the number of victims by keeping criminals name from the news?

  L : If we do that, we'll only be putting the general public at risk.

  Ukita : The general public?

  Shûichi Aizawa : Why?

  L : Kira is childish and he hates losing.

  Tôta Matsuda : But, how do you...?

  Soichiro Yagami : Just what do you mean?

  L : Well, I'm also childish and I hate to lose. That's how I know.

• L : What do you think would happen if we try to use media restrictions to hide criminals from someone like that?

  Tôta Matsuda : I guess...

  L : "If you choose to hold the names of your worst criminals, I'll kill petty criminals or the innocent! I'm holding the whole world hostage. So, who's it gonna be! I'm not the evil one here. But, all those who oppose me by hiding criminals, you're truly evil!" That's exactly how Kira thinks.

• Soichiro Yagami : Does the fact that you've shown us your face mean that you've lost by just being here. Are you admitting defeat to Kira?

  L : That's right. By showing my face to you now and by sacrificing the lives of 12 FBI Agents, I've lost the battle. But I'm not gonna lose the war. This is the first time I've ever put my life on the line. I want to show Kira that we're all willing to risk our lives... if that what it takes. And that justice will prevail no matter what.
