Scenes with Alphonse 59
Alphonse [punches Edward, leaving him shocked] Why didn't you run away when I told you to?! What kind of idiot are you?!?
No way! I'm not just gonna run away and leave you behind!
Alphonse WHICH IS EXACTLY WHY YOU'RE A IDIOT! [punches Edward again as their quarrel catches attention from a spectating military]
What do you keep punching me like that for? If I'd run away you coulda been killed, you know that?!
Alphonse And maybe I wouldn't have been! Making the decision to die is something only an idiot does!
Hey, easy on the "idiot" stuff. I'm still your older brother, got it?!
Alphonse [grabs him by the collar] I'll say it all I want to! Survival is the only way, Ed! Live on, learn more about alchemy! You can find a way to get our bodies back and help people like Nina. You can't do that by dying! I won't allow you to abandon the possibility of hope, and choose a meaningless death. [his arm falls off] Oh, great! Now my arm came off because my brother's a big fat idiot!
Hmm... We're really falling apart, aren't we, Brother? We look like we belong in a junkyard.
Alphonse But we're still alive.
How did you put it again, Al? "I think dedication is a talent all on its own"? Very smooth, little brother, very smooth!
Alphonse Well... it's something I always think whenever I see a certain someone I know.
In that case, a certain someone should hurry up and get back to work, or you're gonna have to come up with a new motivational phrase!
N6 Number 66
I am the infamous serial killer, Barry the Chopper! HA!
Alphonse ... Sorry, I've never heard of you. [Barry is crushed by the fact he is not recognized.] I'm from a little town in the east, so...
Fine! But even if you don't know who I am, shouldn't you at least be a little scared?! Shouldn't you be going, "Ahhh!" or "What happened to your body?!" Or something!
[Alphonse removes his helmet, revealing that he doesn't have a body]
AHHH! What happened to YOUR body, freak?!
Alphonse Hey... now that's impolite.
[speaking to a pint of milk] So we meet again, you little bastard! I'm not gonna drink you.
Alphonse Brother. You have a living body that needs nourishment. You have to drink it.
I don't have to if I don't want to. It may not look like it, but I have grown some, but everyone still calls me a pipsqueak. I wish I was like you, Al. You've got such a big body now.
Alphonse [suddenly snaps] IT'S NOT LIKE I ASKED FOR THIS BODY, "BROTHER!"
We've always fought like this... ever since we were really little. Now that I think about it, we've fought over some really stupid things, haven't we?
Alphonse Like who would get the top and bottom bunk.
Alphonse We fought over candy a lot too, huh?
And that toy, you remember?
Alphonse I won that one. And when we played in the rain river too.
Oh yeah... you shoved me into the water.
Alphonse And that fight we had during our training?
Teacher said we were being too loud, then she beat us up herself. We called that one a draw.
Alphonse We even fought over which one of us would marry Winry someday.
EP Edward [panicking]
What? Don't remember that one.
Alphonse I won the fight, but she shot me down.
Oh, did she? [Long pause...] You're telling me that all those memories are lies?
Alphonse ...Sorry.
[Adjusting his belt] Geez, this is why i steer clear of automail engineers. [realizing his Silver Watch has been stolen] Oh no!
WA Winry and Alphonse
What did you lose?
Only the thing that proves I'm a State Alchemist, my Silver Watch, gone.
[All 3 start panicking]
E1 Engineer 1
It sounds like you guys had a run-in with Paninya.
E2 Engineer 2
She's a pickpocket around here who likes to target tourists.
Do you know how I can track down this Paninya girl? She took something important.
E1 Engineer 1
Let's see, where is she again?
E2 Engineer 2
I know what might jog my memory.
E1 Engineer 1
If only we could just have one more look at that automail!
[Edward menaces them]
E1 Engineer 1 and 2
The automail shop run by an engineer named Dominick!
[Skips to Ed, Al and Winry making their way to Dominick's shop]
Apparently this guy lives deep in the mountains because he can find the highest quality ore way out here, are you absolutely sure were going in the right direction? Cause these engineers could have tricked us.
What are you complaining about. This is all your fault for dragging us to that stupid automail town in the first place.
My fault, your the one who was dumb enough to let his watch get stolen!
Alphonse Hum, hey you guys.
EW Edward and Winry
WHAT AL!?!
Alphonse Could that be her? [Pointing towards Paninya with Ed's watch in her hand]
HA HA, I GOT YOU NOW! [Runs after Paninya]
Alphonse Brother...
Now, when it really counts... I can't do anything.
S Satera
UH- I'M GONNA DIE IN HERE! IT HURTS... I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!
I know we're not big believers in God.
Alphonse Hm.
Maybe He could help us... [His head slumps between his knees] ...just once.
S Sig
Izumi... The Elric shrimps have come for a visit. Do think you can you see them?
I'll be right there. I'm feeling a little better today.
Alphonse Lying down? That's not a good sign.
I guess she hasn't gotten any better since last time. [Izumi kicks Ed]
Hello, my stupid pupil... I hear you've become one of the military's dogs!
Alphonse Uh, Teacher, it's me...it's because... um...
[Notices Al as her rage subsides] Al?! Look at you! You've gotten so big!
Alphonse Teacher...! It's really good to see WHOA-AAH! [Izumi flips Al]
Alphonse You've got lots of energy for someone who's not feeling well.
Not feeling well?! What're you talking about? I'm perfectly- bleh!
S Sig
You shouldn't exert yourself.
How sweet of you to worry, dear! Thank you!
Hey, old lady, could you be our teacher?
[izumi creates a hand punching them away]
EEYURAGH! Pretty please, old lady?
I'm a little hard of hearing, you see? So I didn't quite catch that! Maybe you'd like to repeat yourself.
Alphonse Please, please teach us, pretty lady?
Alphonse Hey, Brother, have you figured out what Teacher meant by "One is All and All is One"? I've been thinking about it this whole time, but I still only have a few vague ideas.
Well, I'm not really sure about this, but... do you remember when I was weak from hunger, and I ate those ants?
Alphonse You ate a LOT of ants.
Mm. I sure did, and boy, did they taste nasty. But then, that got me thinking. If I hadn't eaten them, I might've died. Then I would've been eaten by them. I'd go into the earth and become grass, then the rabbits would eat that.
Alphonse You're talking about the food chain, right?
Yeah, but... not just that, either. Long time ago, this whole island was probably at the bottom of the sea. And tens of thousands of years from now, it could be the peak of a mountain for all we know.
Alphonse All things are connected, is that what you're saying?
Everything we see, everyone we meet, is caught up in a great unseen flow. But it's bigger than that. It's the entire world, the entire universe even. And compared to something as big as that, Al, you and I are tiny, not even the size of ants. Only one small part within a much greater flow. Nothing more than a fraction of the whole. But by putting all those "ones" together, you get one great "All", just like Teacher said. The flow of this universe follows laws of such magnitude that you and I can't even imagine them.
Teacher! [Izumi throws a knife at him] AHHH!
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING COMING BACK HERE?! And you call me ‘Teacher’ I do not teach scum like you! Get out of my home!
Alphonse We came to you because we’re trying to find a way to get our original bodies back.
And we won’t leave without your help!
You idiots… Al, you didn’t see the Truth, did you?
Alphonse No, I don’t even really know what that means.
You must’ve lost your memory from the shock. We need to get Al’s memories back. His entire body was taken from him. Just think what he must’ve seen.
Oh yeah, we only exchanged parts of our bodies for what we saw. But Al paid the toll with his entire physical being. He must’ve seen more of the Truth than either of us did.
Alphonse So, if I can remember what I saw, then we’ll know how to get our bodies back?
But the memory of that thing…
Alphonse What is it something bad?
No, it’s more like awful!
It could drive you insane!
Or even leave you brain dead!
Alphonse That doesn’t matter. If there’s a chance that it can help us. Then I want to do it.
Hmmm... I have an acquaintance who might be able to retrieve your memories for you.
But. Let's have dinner first. Give me a hand!
[outside Izumi's home]
B Bido
The rumors are true! He's able to transmute human souls!
D Dolchetto
He’s here. There you are, about time.
Alphonse We know your secret. Meet us at the Devil’s Nest if you want to talk… I’m guessing you’re the people who wrote this note?
D Dolchetto
That’s right. And we know a lot about you.
Alphonse Well that’s good, ‘cause there’s a lot about me that I don’t know.
D Dolchetto
Then I’m the guy you want to talk to. Why don’t you come with us?
Alphonse But my teacher always said, I’m not supposed to go with strangers.
D Dolchetto
Uh, how old are you?
Alphonse Fourteen.
D Dolchetto
Well come on then, I think fourteen is old enough to think for yourself, kid. You gotta act like an adult, start taking some risks.
Alphonse You think so!? I should think for myself?
D Dolchetto
Yes! And you can start by coming with-[Al punches him in the face.]
Alphonse So I thought it over for myself, and I decided I’m just going to make you tell me what I want to know.
D Dolchetto
So you wanna do this by force.
Alphonse You people aren't human, are you?
good guess, they're Chimeras... And they happen to work for me.
Oohoo! You guys are lifesavers! Thanks a lot! Your treat, right?
When did I say that I was paying?
Let's not quibble over something so small!
Who're you calling small?!
To think, I found such hospitality, so far from home!
Alphonse Far from home? You mean you're not from here?
That's right, I came from Xing!
Oh, Xing, that's the... Country to the east of the desert?
Because I wanted to see the ruins of Xerxes, The route goes by there.
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.
Alphonse That makes you...
Not the reaction I anticipated.
Alphonse Sorry! We just didn't see that coming!
Yeah, the guy who collapsed on the side road and then mooched food off us is the son of an Emperor!
Maria Ross was a fugitive. Our orders were "shoot to kill." So I did.
Alphonse That's all you have to say?!
About Hughes' death... I apologize for hiding it. But you do not argue against orders... or ask for explanations. Just follow them.
