"CONFLICT"

158)
Knives: Ha ha ha...
Knives: That's a funny face you're making.
Knives: Then again, you were up against some of the finest specimens I could pull from the human race.
Knives: I bet you learned a lot.
Knives: Or should I say..."regained."

159)
Knives: I figured that if I made your conscious heavy enough, you would "awaken."
Knives: Seems like it worked.
Knives: It was obvious to me, though, that there was no chance of them killing you.
Knives: Do you get it now?
Knives: The astronomically large differences between us and them.
Knives: We cannot coexist.
Knives: When they kill ants, they don't shed a tear, right?
Knives: This is the exact same thing.
Knives: If only Tesla...
Knives: ..had had this power...
Vash: No...

160)
Vash: Knives...
Knives: Your body...
Knives: I won't let you use
Knives: that power.
Knives: Your hair is turning black...
Knives: Do you know what that means?
Knives: That color is...
Knives: The blackness of decay.

161)
Knives: The way I see it...
Knives: you're much closer to death than I am!!

162)
Vash: KNIVES!!

167)
Legato: Master...Knives...
Elendria: What's your problem?
Elendria: It'll be done in a few more seconds.

168)
Elendria: We're going to "launch" soon. It'll be a while, so why don't you just go pack your suitcases?
Elendria: See? Even sarcasm flies over his head now.
Wolfwood: Why are you telling me?!?!
Knives: Seems you still don't understand,
Knives: so I'll explain it in detail.

169)
Knives: Are you ready? This is war.
Knives: You really think humans will accept us, who weild such amazing power?
Knives: NO FUCKIN' WAY!!
Knives: THEY'D COME AND MURDER US WITHOUT ANOTHER EVEN A SHRED OF REGRET!!
Knives: The treatment they give to those who threaten their safety...
Knives: You should know about that more than anyone!!

170)
Vash: If that really happens,
Vash: I'll just run as fast as I can.

171)
Vash: And once things quiet down again,
Vash: I'll silently return.

172)
Knives: A WHOLE CENTURY HAS PASSED...
Knives: AND YOU STILL THINK THAT'S THE ANSWER?!?

177)
Legato: MASTER KNIVES--
Elendria: HOLD IT!!
Wolfwood: Woah, he actually listened.
Elendria: Well, yeah, but...

178)
Vash: I want to forget everything that happened yesterday.
Vash: But man,
Vash: It's impossible.
Vash: I can't do anything about my regrets,
Vash: but today, my hands are still moving.

179)
Vash: Only when I've extinguished someone else's sorrow,
Vash: do I feel a bit at peace.
Vash: Tommorow,
Vash: and the day after tomorrow.
Vash: That's why,
Vash: no matter what...
Vash: I won't let you have it your way,
Vash: Knives!!

180)
Knives: I...
Knives: told you...
Knives: I WON'T LET YOU USE YOUR DAMN POWER!!!!!

181)
Knives: I've been trying to finish things with you for such a long time,
Knives: and now it looks like I've finally succeeded.
Knives: It's over.
Knives: I tried every other option...
Knives: But now I'm going to have to fuse with you.
Knives: At the very least, you can live on in me...
Knives: VASH!!

182)
Legato: Master Knives, I beg you to stop!!
Knives: Ahh...ahhh..ahhhh....(etc)

183)
Knives: I was just a single hair away from being overcome!!
Knives: The sheer force of his Angel Arm...
Knives: No way...

184)
Knives: Or is it the force of his "flow"...?
Knives: You...
Legato: Yes.
Legato: I...I FELT it.
Knives: If it wasn't for his "intervention," I would have been in trouble.
Knives: The change in power has blurred my judgement...
Knives: I need to be more careful.
Knives: Is it possible to restrain him in this state?
Legato: ...Yes...
Knives: Alright, do it then.
Knives: Keep an eye on him at all times.
Legato:....Yes.

185)
Knives: Elendria.
Knives: Time to launch.
Knives: Release the "Ark."
Knives: I shall condemn this barren earth...
Knives: into a merciless darkness.
