"Depending on what you want to know. Some are not as knowledgable as others. And while some may know, they might not want to share their information. I can help you there, though, so you don't have to worry about those kinds of people." Lelouch was referring to his Geass. Times like these, it really came in handy. He could easily order someone to tell him everything they know about what Patchouli was after - as long as he hasn't used the Geass on them before, that is. He didn't know why, but he wanted to help Patchouli find out what she was searching for.
