Ling quotes from Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

Al, you’re back in your armor… Then that means…

Ling

We’re back in the real world.

BBradley

I met him once. He said a king exists for his people. As if the people matter. The fool, just where did that get him? Typical human.

Ling

Shut the hell up! [suddenly regaining control and glaring at Bradley] Don't underestimate humans.

[Bradley is frozen and wide-eyed]

... I know, he is smart as he vigilantly waits for an opportunity to take control of this body!

BBradley

He must have been taking second thoughts. Now that he has taken a monster into his flesh.

Ling

What have you done, Greed? Are you determined to prove you're a monster? What kind of sick creature... would kill his own friend?!

He wasn't my... friend...! [clutches his head and screams]

Ling

Then why do you remember him? And are you gonna try and tell me Bido was just making everything up?!

Those are the last Greed's memories! They're not mine!

Ling

THEN WHY ARE YOU IN SO MUCH PAIN?! Pull yourself together, Greed. I'm warning you. I'll take my body back if you drop your guard.

They're not mine...! Father purified me and purged the old Greed's memories! Those memories aren't a part of me anymore!

Ling

NO, YOU'RE WRONG, GREED! It's not that easy! They'll always be a part of you! You can't just erase them from your soul! They were the only part of you that you CHOSE! Look at them! Can you not hear their souls crying out?! You abandoned them! Your real family! You threw them away like TRASH! Fool...If you turned your back on something you wanted, YOU DON'T DESERVE TO CALL YOURSELF GREED!

[clutches Bido's body, screams in anguish]

I guess in the dark, we don't have the upper hand against Gluttony. But once the lights are back on, there's Pride. Hm. this is going to be tough.

Ling

Hey, Greed!

What is it Ling?

Ling

Switch with me. I'm able to sense a Homunculus' presence. I'm the one who realized Pride was out there, right? I can maneuver around better in the darkness!

What choice do I have?! Don't go running off with this body!

Ling

Don't be ridiculous! It was my body to begin with!

Time to eat-

Ling

There you are!

Oh, nice one! I'm glad I paired with you!

Ling

Thank you.

is that you, Ling?!

Ling

Yeah!

I'm mad! I'm hungry! But you won't let me eat you right away! So I'm gonna swallow everything!

Darius

I sense something bad!

Bad like what?!

Ling

Something's coming!

What's coming?!

Ling

It's the same presence as that time before.

Hey, what is it you guys are looking at?! Explain it to me, the normal guy!

[Something fast is attacking Gluttony]

What?!

Darius

Stay down!

Is there someone else out there?!

Ling

I don't know. I don't know, but that's.

That smell....I Know It....

[Lan Fan attacks Gluttony with her new automail arm]

Ling

Thank goodness you're all right! I've been waiting for you, Lan Fan!

[Lan Fan fights Gluttony]

Will you stop killing me? I don't want to die anymore.

[Lan Fan slices Gluttony's face]

Look Out!

[Ling Yao punches Gluttony]

Young Lord!

Ling

We can catch up later!

Right!

Let me eat you already-

[Lan Fan slices Gluttony's mouth]

[laughs] You're really kicking ass! And nice girl, how long have you been a stud?

Ling

Well you know me. I'm filled with surprises!

[Ling Yao kicks Gluttony]

It's so dark here. How do you know where I am?

[Lan Fan chops off Gluttony's hand]

Ah, you're finally making an appearance...Hohenheim.

[smiles] Heroes always arrive late, you know.

Hero? Are you saying you mean to defeat me?

No, I couldn't do that. You really are a fright, after all.

What is he thinking? Is he after something? Here he comes! Oh, what a pathetic strategy. You don't know when to give up.

Al!

your son must like being captured or is supremely stupid.

That’s crossing the line pride. Don’t ever mock my son!

[Red Lightning emerges from Hohemheim’s feat creating a stone sphere around Pride, who tries to escape but gets grabbed by Alphonse]

HOHENHEEEEIM!

[Pride tries to stab Hohemheim in the face with one of his shadows in the shape of a spear, but stops because of the stone, Hohenheim doesn’t even flinch]

Ling

Amazing. He confined him.

What is this?! You trapped Al in there, too, you know! What are you thinking?!

It wasn't my idea. Al suggested we do this.

View quote →

Long time no see. You should have just fled and kept quiet.

Unfortunately, my avarice knows no bounds. I want your life, too, Wrath.

Buccaneer

Is he our backup?

World all over town is that you died in a train accident. How did you survive it?

My eyes are too sharp for that. I was able to evaluate in an instant where among the rubble to run to get out of here. However, the years take their toll. My body won't keep up like it used to.

[Thinking to himself] This man just survived a train wreck, and yet he's complaining about age?

VVato

Ling Yao, right?

Ling

Yeah! Haven't seen you since I hide out in that run down apartment, huh? Been a long time, Warrant Officer Falman.

VVato

I'm a lieutenant!

Ling

I owe you for the stay and the meal, so I'll give you a hand.

Although, the truth is, we both have a personal grudge against him!

[Ling and Wrath are fighting]

Moving into my blind spot, huh?

My partner inside me taught me how to fight you.

Did he? Then I will do this..

[They continue to fight as Wrath takes off his eyepatch revealing the Ultimate Eye]

[Ling and Fu continues fight against Wrath]

GGreeling

Ow! Watch it, old man!

FFu

I didn't do it on purp-I mean, I didn't mean it!

GGreeling

Why you!

I do feel more comfortable with a weapon like this. You move well, for someone even older than I am. However...this is the end for you!

[He slices Fu's headband off, and Fu jumps back, when the blood pumps out and covers his face]

Ling

[Ling Takes Over] Old man Fu!

The Xingese prince, huh?

Ling! Don't take over without my permission!

It's just like the time with that girl who lost her arm. Once again, you risk your life for something you are unable to leave behind.

FFu

Young Lord, forget me. My life isn't worth fighting for.

Ling

Don't give me that crap! Are you honestly telling me that I should be like him?! A king should fight for his people because he is nothing without them! This man is about to sacrifice his own nation! His people! I'll never become the monster that he is!

FFu

If you truly are a man worthy to be king, you must be able to accept some loss- [He coughs up blood]

Ling

You need to rest, please!

FFu

Hehehe, You're right, Young Lord, I need rest. Time for this old man to find rest. [He knocks Ling down with the back of his weapon and charges Wrath in for a suicide bombing attempt] Harden your shield, Greed! Protect the Young Lord's body! Young Lord, become the king you're meant to be. But this old servant has no choice but to offer his retirement!

[He hardens his Shield] You stupid fool!

FFu

I'm taking you to hell with me! BRADLEY!

[Wrath slices through the explosives and fatally wounds Fu]

FFu

[In his thoughts] Even with my life on the line, I cannot even lay a scratch on him? Young Lord...forgive my shame....

Buccaneer

Even if you do have godlike eyes, there's no way you can dodge an attack you can't see coming! Old man, I'll accompany you down to hell.

FFu

Oh...you have my gratitude....

[Wrath kicks Buccaneer and Fu out as Ling uses Greed's shield hardening to attack Wrath's Ultimate Eye and destroys it for good, leaving him a mortal man]

[Looking down on the battle] GRANDFATHER!

[Wrath and Greed continue fight]

Ling

Damn! Why, You!

[Lan Fan grabs Ling Yao]

Ling

Not you! You dumbass! Never mind us!

It is our job...to protect...the Young Lord...

Ling

This much weight is too much for your automail to support. You look after the old man!

It's...too late for him...Briggs soldiers, give me a hand!

S3Soldier 3

Right! Bradley! Take this!

[Wrath throws the knives as the soldier shoots and falls into the water]

M6Military 6

Who is that guy?!

Ling

Listen up, you guys! Anyone who doesn't want to get hurt, anyone with a family, or a lover, keep back!

Also, women! I'm not the sort who fights women!

[Military tries to attack Greed but his armor is too thick]

M4Military 4

Impossible!

[Greed fights military forces, then as a rocket comes he uses it to destroy the tank as the truck attacks him. Greed destroys the truck as he attacks the military]

VVato

Amazing. Is that Ling Yao? Or is it the Homunculus?

View quote →

AL, NO!

[Ed sees that his right arm has returned, a sign that Al gave up his soul so he can keep fighting.]

AL, YOU DUMBASS!

[Edward starts fighting Father, and winning.]

AArmstrong

Nice, Ed. Just keep going.

Zampano

GO, KID!

Darius

ELRIC!

BBriggs

Yeah! Let him have it! Fullmetal!

Hawkeye

Kick his ass, Ed!

Izumi

Go, Ed!

AArmstrong

Fight, Edward Elric!

BBriggs

GO!

Ling

Greed, this is what you desperately wanted, isn't it?

Please don't die!

GO, EDWARD!

Fight on.

FULLMETAL!

Yeah, you're right. This is what I wanted. I wanted the chance to have friends like these.

[Edward knocks Father to the ground with a punch to the face]

GET UP, YOU NOVICE! I'M ABOUT TO SHOW YOU HOW OUT-CLASSED YOU REALLY ARE! THIS FIGHT, YOU LOSE!

Roy

What happened? Is it over? Did we win?

Riza

Yes, sir. Although, Alphonse hasn't returned from the other side.

May

I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!

It's not your fault, May. It was his decision.

Ling

Ed, I've got the toll for him. Take it, it's a Philosopher's Stone. Use it to bring him back.

I can't. As much as I want to, I can't. I promised Al. We'd never use a Philosopher's Stone. [Thinking] There has to be a way to get him back. There's got to be, think dammit. Think it through, just keep thinking.

Edward... Use my life for the toll. Use me to save Alphonse. I've got just enough life left.

No way! I could never do that, you dumbass! This doesn't have anything to do with you. It's our own damn fault. I won't use another human life to get Al back. And I don't care who's at it! Why should you sacrifice your life for our mistakes?!

Because I'm his father. And that's the only thing that matters. You don't know how much you boys mean to me. I just want you to be happy. And I do bare some responsibility for this, this might not have happened if I'd just been there for you. I'm sorry, Ed. I've lived long enough. Just give me this chance, to act like a father for once in my life.

Shut up, you rotten father! You say something that dumb again, and I'll knock you out!

View quote →

I take it you're here to retrieve your brother. Just how to you plan on pulling an entire human out of here? What's your payment? Do you intend to offer your own body?

Yeah, I've got your payment right here, so go ahead and take it! This thing is my Portal of Truth. So I get to make the decision on how it's used. That right?

Hehehehe! It's come to that? Hehehehahaha! And you're sure about this? You do realize that you'll never be able to perform alchemy again without your portal.

I'm aware of that. This portal, I know it contains every secret alchemy has to offer. However, it's also led me astray. I saw the truth that lies within it. And I became convinced I could solve everything with alchemy, but I couldn't possibly have been more wrong. That was just arrogance.

You're willing to cast it aside? To lower yourself to a simple human?

What do you mean lower myself? That's the only thing I've ever been, just a simple human that couldn't save a little girl, not even with alchemy.

You sure you'll be okay without it? Think carefully now!

Ed!

Fullmetal!

Edward!

Ed!

Edward Elric!

Ling

Ed!

Edward!

Ed!

Ed!

Who even needs alchemy, when I've got them!

[Gasping in excitement as he and Ed's door fade] You've done it! That's the right answer! Good job! You beat me! Go ahead! Take him home! The back door's right over there! Goodbye, Edward Elric!

[Ed’s Gate and Truth disappear, Ed sees Al]
