Ling quotes from Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

Ling

When I went in search of immortality... I knew I must be ready to make certain sacrifices. I wasn't ready for this... Lan Fan was though. She made the decision that I was too weak to make.

Ling

Oohoo! You guys are lifesavers! Thanks a lot! Your treat, right?

Edward

When did I say that I was paying?

Ling

Let's not quibble over something so small!

Edward

Who're you calling small?!

Ling

To think, I found such hospitality, so far from home!

Alphonse

Far from home? You mean you're not from here?

Ling

That's right, I came from Xing!

Edward

Oh, Xing, that's the... Country to the east of the desert?

Ling

Because I wanted to see the ruins of Xerxes, The route goes by there.

Ling

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.

Ling

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?

Ling

I want to achieve... Immortality!

Edward

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

Ling

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

Edward

Huh? Emperor's son?

Alphonse

That makes you...

A prince! Hehehehehehe!

Ling

Not the reaction I anticipated.

Alphonse

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!

Ling

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

Edward

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

Barry

Right now it's lookin' like you'll be facing the firing squad for sure.

It's not true! They're wrong! If they would just do a proper investigat-

Barry

Here are your choices... Stay here and be killed for murder... or bust outta this joint with me. Which will it be?

How is this happening? Isn't there anything else I can do?!

Ling

It sure doesn't look like it!

I have no choice! Mom! Dad! Please forgive me! [Regains her composure] Fine, let's go... If this is how it has to be, I'll escape with you. But you better know a way out of here, metal boy.

Barry

Ooh! You've got spunk!

Edward

WHAT THE HELLLLL?!

Alphonse

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?

Ling

Eating a delicious dinner.

Ling

So you're the ruler of this land. The king exists for his people. Without his people, there is no king! King Bradley, you're not a true king! Not now or ever!

There's no such thing as a true king!

Lan Fan

What happened to me?...

Ling

What's wrong?

Lan Fan

I have no feeling to my arm...? My lord... I'm useless to you now.

Ling

What are you talking about?

Lan Fan

You cannot burden yourself with me... If you do, they'll only get you too... A king is no king without his people, but a people without their king would be lost as well. You can't do that to them... My lord, think of our clan... You must live for their sake.

Ling

I won't leave you!

Lan Fan

Sometimes someone must be left behind. For the greater good.

Ling

Lan Fan! What are you planning? No! Don't do it!

Envy

I know you. You're the kid who crossed swords with Wrath, aren't you?

Ling

What do you mean "kid?!" I happen to be the twelfth son of the emperor of Xing. My name is-

Envy

Eat him.

Ling

No! No! No! No!

Envy

You scum! A mere human like you can't condescend to me!

Ling

You seem to underestimate humans... AND THAT'S A MISTAKE!

Edward

I know we said we’d stay and all. But that’s seriously freaky..!

Ling

He seems to be a bit angry.

Envy

You really know how to use that thing!

Ling

Thank you for the complement! Really!

Edward

Alright, Envy... Time to die!

Help me... Kill me...Help me die... I beg you... Please kill me... Please!

Ling

Come on! Snap out of it, you idiot! Why didn't you attack him?

Edward

A person...Those are people...They need our help... They're trapped inside him!

Ling

He's a monster!

Edward

But they-

Ling

Listen to me! Those things are monsters!

Envy

I'm done playing with you.

Edward

Al.. I'm sorry.

Ling

Open your eyes, Ed! Please, wake up! Wake up! Ed, NO!

Edward

..A red stone. It's his core... A Philosopher's Stone...I almost forgot. After all my searching...It's right here... in front of me...

Ling

I knew it reminded me of something. He almost looks like he's praying.

Edward

Long time no see. Too bad this isn't why I'd planned on opening you again. Ling...! Jump in it!

Ling

You better know what you're doing...! I'm trusting you!
