Edward quotes from Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

I'm looking for something. It's possible you two have heard of it before... The Philosopher's Stone. I'm very eager to find it. Do you know anything about it?

Edward

No... We can't help you.

You wouldn't be lying to me, now would you? [He snaps and Lan Fan and Foo appear, with kunai] So, do you have something to tell me?

Edward

Why the interest in the Philosopher's Stone?

I want to achieve... Immortality!

Edward

So you shake down strangers for food, and yet you can somehow afford two personal attendants?

Well, I am the emperor's son, after all.

Edward

Huh? Emperor's son?

That makes you...

EElrics

A prince! Hehehehehehe!

Not the reaction I anticipated.

Sorry! We just didn't see that coming!

Edward

Yeah, the guy who collapsed on the side road and then mooched food off us is the son of an Emperor!

View quote →

Okay! The Philosopher's Stone... What information can you offer?

Edward

Not happening! The Stone isn't a tool for some political game.

View quote →

Edward

Hello there, Winry! You look like you’re in a very generous mood today!

Hi, Ed. Hi, Al. What are you doing showing up like this?

EElrics

Ahahaha!

Edward

Apple pie?

That's right. I've practiced making it a few times. I know it might... sound like... I'm bragging... but I've gotten pretty good at it. I'm not nearly as good as Miss Gracia, but someday... I'd hoped... That Mr. Hughes... would get to try some too!

View quote →

Edward

Why, Colonel? Why was Hughes murdered? Why would Second Lieutenant Ross...? Why didn't you say anything!? [Ed grabs Roy]

[slaps Ed across the face] Threatening a superior officer? You forget yourself, Elric.

View quote →

Hello, Edward.. You appear to have grown some. I spoke with Pinako. You tried human transmutation.

Edward

What makes you think you can show up like this? There's nothing left for you here anymore!

I noticed. Tell me, Edward. What possessed you to burn down my home?

Edward

After what happened, we vowed to never turn back... We did it as a symbol of our resolve.

No you didn't. You were hiding the memory. You didn't want to be reminded of what you've done... And thought you could erase the memory by destroying the evidence.

Edward

You're wrong!

It's just like a child who hides the sheets after he wets the bed. You ran away... And you know it.

Edward

I... You don't know a damn thing! You make me sick to my stomach.

He's exactly like I was when I was his age.

[After digging up the remains of the creature and looking it over...]

Pinako

I'm sorry... But I'm afraid this isn't your mother, Ed.

Edward

[Laughing in crazed relief] Then that's it... It really is impossible to bring the dead back to life... The undeniable truth... It was impossible all along...

Pinako

Edward... Now Listen to me... You've gotta get a hold of yourself.

Edward

I'm okay, Granny... It's okay. From the moment I made this thing, it's been the symbol of my despair... But not anymore... Now it's an emblem of hope. Al can be returned to normal.

Edward

WHAT THE HELLLLL?!

I'm sorry, brother.

Edward

YOU-! WHAT-?! HOW ARE YOU THIS BEAT UP? AAH! [notices Ling] AND YOU... WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?

Eating a delicious dinner.

View quote →

Edward

Well.. Uh, Winry... Do, um... Uh... Do you remember when Al and I got in a fight when we were kids about... who'd marry you?

Huh? The fight we were talking about on the roof?

Edward

Yeah, that one. Al told me you turned him down.

Mm-hmm. Turned you both down.

Edward

Whatever, so the question's for both of you then... What was your reasoning?

She said...

AWAlphonse and Winry

[together] "I just don't like men who are shorter than me."

Edward

[shrieks loudly] YOU CAN'T JUDGE A MAN FOR SOMETHING HE CAN'T HELP! [breaks down crying]

What if I’ve started to rot?

EWEdward and Winry

Huh?

I doubt my body’s getting any nutrients, or any sleep either. So even if we get it back from over there…! [with face covered] Brother…! Winry!

EWEdward and Winry

AHHHHHH!

Uh! Is he right Ed?

Edward

Now, this is just a hypothesis, but I was thinking about the transmutation we did, and trying to retrace our process. Remember how we mixed our blood, to create a blueprint for mom’s soul?

Yeah…

Edward

Well, right after that we passed through the portal, where we were both deconstructed. It’s a slim chance, but I think possible, our spirits got tangled up in the process.

What are you saying…?

Edward

I’m trying to explain that our bodies may be connected some how, even though I’m here, and your body is over there. See? That might actually explain why I’m so s-… Sho-… Short!

He admitted it!

He’s starting to face reality!

So, you think you’ve been supplying all the nutrients for Al’s body too? That seems a little far fetched.

Edward

Well, what’s your explanation?

You don’t grow because you refuse to drink your milk.

Edward

Don’t start with that again…

Well, it’s true.

It seems like brother is always sleeping. I wonder if his body could be resting for mine as well.

-Till you start drinking it. You have to!

Edward

It’s not going to happen! No!

Fine stay a runt!

Edward

I’m not a runt!

I hope so at least.

I could make you!

Edward

Just try!

So you're saying that Scar killed Winry's parents?

Edward

I don't know for certain but that's the way it looks.

Poor Winry... Brother...! You weren't planning on telling her, were you?

Edward

Of course not, Al. I couldn't stand to be the one to make her cry again.

Neither could I.

View quote →

WILL YOU GUYS SHUT UP?! D'ya know how early I have to wake up tomorrow?!

Edward

Oh! Right, I forgot! You're catching the early train to Rush Val- [has a mental image of Scar destroying his arm] Uhh. Y'know what? You should cancel that. Why don't you stick around and relax?

Huh?!

Edward

I mean it's just that... Y'know... Well... There's... always the chance my arm could get broken... [small voice] or even... destroyed...

ARE YOU PLANNING ON DESTROYING IT?! [Holds a bloody wrench after using it response to Ed's reason]

I've got your soul, brother! [Al grasps Ed's soul as he lies bleeding on the floor.]

I can't believe you. Just promise you won't do anything too dangerous.

View quote →

So, what’s with the showboat? Do you want him to find you?

Edward

Yeah, that’s exactly what I want. I'm going to fight him, and you can't stop me.

Have you lost your mind?! Did you forget the way he tore you apart in East City?

Edward

Ooh! Sounds like the Colonel’s scared of big, bad Scar! I’m not surprised considering how useless you were against him!

That wasn't my fault! It was raining that day!

Edward

Was it raining when you got beat up and sent to the hospital?! Ha! You’re still useless!

Shut your mouth, Fullme-!

Edward

Scar! You're so self righteous but do you remember two Amestrian doctors named Rockbell?

Wait, Ed! Don't!

Edward

THOSE DOCTORS SAVED YOUR LIFE! and you killed them!

BROTHER!

[Ed realizes too late that Winry is in earshot and has heard everything]

What? What do you mean Ed? This man... he's the one... who killed my parents? And what's worse... they helped save you... and you killed them..? You killed... my parents? What did they ever do to you? They were doctors... they didn't deserve to die. Give them back! GIVE ME BACK MY MOM AND DAD, YOU MONSTER!

Scar

This is the doctors' daughter? You have the right, shooting me would be justified. Just know, the moment you pull that trigger, there's no going back, you will be my enemy!

SCAR!

Edward

IF YOU THINK I'LL LET YOU HURT ONE HAIR ON HER HEAD-!

Scar

You'll kill me?? That would be fine with me, boy. Until one of us dies, this chain of hatred will continue. BUT REMEMBER THIS! IT WAS THE AMESTRIANS WHO FIRST PULLED THE TRIGGER IN THE WAR! IT WAS YOUR PEOPLE!
