- Amane Misa: Sweets make you fat, so I'm cutting back.
- L: Even if you eat sweets, if you use your head, you won't get fat.
- [English dub]
- L: By the way, are you going to eat that piece of cake?
- Misa Amane: Cake makes you fat. I'm not gonna eat any.
- L: Actually, I found that you don't gain any weight as long as you burn calories by using your brain.
- L: I won't be satisfied unless you're Kira? That may be true... I just realized... I wanted you to be Kira.
- Yagami Light: [punches L]
- L: An eye for an eye. I'll have you know I'm pretty strong.
- [kicks Light in the face]
- Matsuda: Let's call the room to stop them!
- [phone rings]
- L: Yes?
- Matsuda: Please listen, Ryuzaki, Misa-Misa is number one in the Eightteen magazine's reader popularity poll!
- L: Yes, I see...
- Matsuda: That means that it's been decided that she'll be starring as heroine in the next filmby the director, Nishinaka!
- L: [L hangs up on him]
- Yagami Light: What's wrong?
- L: Matsuda's acting stupid again.
- Yagami Light: Well, Matsuda is a natural at that.
- Matsuda: [peeved] ... I can hear you...
- L: Well, truthfully, all this time I thought that you WERE Kira and my entire case hinged on that fact. I guess I just can't get past the fact that my deduction was wrong; although, having said that, I'm still suspicious of you. That's why we're wearing these.
- [holds up handcuffs]
- [English dub]
- L: I won't be satisfied unless you're Kira? Well, there may be some truth to that. In fact, now that you mention it, you're right. I think I wanted you to be Kira.
- [Light punches L]
- L: As I said before, an eye for an eye. I'm a lot stronger than I look, you know.
- [L kicks Light in the face]
- Touta Matsuda: [watching on the monitors] We've gotta call the room and stop them!
- [phone rings]
- L: Yes?
- Touta Matsuda: Ryuzaki, I've got good news, Misa-Misa's number one in Eighteen magazine's reader popularity poll!
- L: Oh, I see.
- Touta Matsuda: And get this - she's gonna get a lead role in Nishinaka's next movie!
- [L hangs up on him]
- Light Yagami: What was that?
- L: Matsuda's acting stupid again.
- Light Yagami: Well, that is his specialty.
- Touta Matsuda: [peeved] I can hear you, you know.
- L: If you want my opinion, you'd be better off as police officers. I was alone when I started this case; and, although I'm grateful to all of you for staying with me as long as you have, I know that I can do this by myself. I'll be sure to visit you at the department and bring you Kira's head as a reward for all that you've sacrificed.
- Shuichi Aizawa: Now I know this for sure: I've always hated Ryuzaki. I hate him AND his way of doing things!
- L: That's too bad, because I like YOU, Aizawa.
- Shuichi Aizawa: I also hate the way you've always gotta have the last word!
- L: Is Kira someone from Yotsuba or is Kira simply using Yotsuba. I haven't figured that out yet, but we'll proceed under the assumption that this is Kira's doing. We will focus on Yotsuba.
- Touta Matsuda: Ryuzaki! Please tell me, is there anything I can do to help you with the investigation besides the manager thing?
- L: So, you really wanna be useful?
- Touta Matsuda: Yes!
- L: Then could you get me another cup of coffee?
- Touta Matsuda: Huh?
- Light Yagami: What's wrong with you? I thought moving here was supposed to help us capture Kira but, since we've been here you don't seem all that motivated to me.
- L: Not motivated? You're right. Actually, I'm kind of depressed.
- Light Yagami: Depressed, what for?
- L: Well, truthfully, all this time I thought that you WERE Kira and my entire case hinged on that fact. And I guess I just can't get past the fact that my deduction was wrong; although, having said that, I'm still suspicious of you. That's why we're wearing these.
- [holds up handcuffs]
- L: And we also know that Kira can control people's actions... which means, it's highly likely that Kira was controlling your actions so that I would suspect you. If I assume both you and Misa were being controlled by him then everything we've observed so far makes a lot more sense to me.
- Light Yagami: If that's what you think, Misa and I were both Kira during the time we're being controlled, right?
- L: Yes, I don't think I could've been wrong about that. The two of you are Kira. If what I'm thinking is correct when your confinement began, you were Kira. And I don't believe it's a coincidence that as soon as you're imprisoned all the killings stopped. Until then, everything pointed to you being Kira. But after two weeks, criminals actually began dying again. Based on that evidence, I can only conclude that Kira's power passes between people.
- Light Yagami: That's an interesting idea. But if it's true, it'll be nearly impossible for us to catch Kira.
- L: Yes. That's why I'm overwhelmed. Even if we catch someone under his control, they'll likely lose their powers and any memory of their crimes. So, in the end, pursuing them becomes futile...
- Light Yagami: But at this point, we've no way of knowing if that's the case. Cheer up, would you?
- L: Cheer up? No, I'm sorry. I can't. That's probably better if I just stop trying so hard. By chasing Kira so desperately we are just putting our lives at risk for nothing. Yes, it's just a waste of time.
