- Near: The current Kira is foolish and over-confident, not to mention unusually cooperative with Task Force. So much so that I suspect he's working hand-in-hand with them.
- Anthony Rester: You think so?
- Near: That would make the second L and Kira one and the same person.
- Near: Making assumptions is part of any investigation. If we're wrong, all it'll cost is an apology.
- Light Yagami: Good or evil, it's not our call. All we have to think about is catching him. If Kira gets caught, then that makes him evil, but if he wins and rules the world, then I guess he's justice.
- Hideki Ide: Aizawa.
- Shuichi Aizawa: Huh?
- Hideki Ide: We have a long history. I can tell exactly what you're thinking about and what's bothering you. Between you and me, you should go ahead and do what you think is right. I didn't trust L to begin with. I never did, to be honest. I didn't sign up to join the Kira Task Force because Light was running it. I joined because I wanted to work with you.
- Light Yagami: [as Kira] Mr. President, I am very grateful that you and your country have sympathized with me, but I'm afraid even that much is not enough. The SPK is still trying to catch me despite your recent announcement. I want you to stop them immediately and formally disband them. At the same time, I want you to use the American police, the CIA, the FBI and all other law enforcement organizations at your disposal to find out where the SPK members are currently hiding. As soon as you've found their base of operations, I want you to forward that information to a third party. I will give you this contact shortly. Mr. President, whether you live a long life or not is up to you. Don't forget that.
- Shuichi Aizawa: [to himself] The previous L was suspicious of Light, but if Light IS Kira and I just come out and say we should investigate him again, then I'll probably end up dead just like L, and that won't solve anything.
