Riza quotes from Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

Riza

Why are soldiers, who ought to protect citizens, killing them instead? Why is alchemy, which ought to bring happiness to the people, being used for murder?

Riza

Right. A "hero" from that horrible war becomes nothing but a mass murderer. Not just the Colonel, but Dr. Knox and the others who took part in human experimentation. Even I would be tried as a criminal for what I did. The only thing that really protects a soldier is his uniform.

Riza

Will they be coming?

Roy

They'll come.

Riza

That boy... I've never seen anyone look so defeated.

Roy

That's what you saw? No. There was fire in those eyes.

Major, watch what you're doing! We don't wanna destroy the city, do we?!?

What do you mean? Destruction and creation are two sides of the same coin! You must destroy to create! THAT IS THE LAW OF THE UNIVERSE! [takes off shirt, poses epically]

Riza

Did he have to strip?

Are you surprised? He's clearly insane.

Riza

Scar hasn't been sighted. Not once since that incident with the Elric Brothers.

Maybe he's not even in East City anymore.

Roy

I hope you're wrong about that.

Huh?

Roy

This case has obviously gotten to be too much for Central to handle. If I can close it quickly enough, I'll be golden. I've got a ladder to climb, and this is how it's done. I need every mark in my favor that I can get.. at least until I've assumed the office of Führer, that is.

Riza

You may not want to display your ambition quite so nakedly, sir.

Roy

Yeah, I'll be sure to remember that in future.

Roy

Have you found the body?

Not yet, but we're still searching.

Riza

Either way, he can't be in good shape after losing this much blood.

Roy

Yeah, but we do this by the book. We need to find hard proof that he's dead. Alright, Lieutenant Havoc...

Yes, sir?

Roy

You and your men will work day and night to clear out this debris. I want his body found. Don't take so much as a coffee break until that's done, do you understand?

C'mon, Colonel, can't you cut us some slack? At this rate, you're gonna work us all to death.

Roy

Shut up! I don't get to relax until I've seen his body! That means you don't get to, either.

Riza

Black Hayate? What’s gotten into you, boy?

Barry

Hahaha, it’s dangerous to be out walking the streets, alone, at this hour. You never know when you might meet, the terrible serial killer, feared by all, Barry the Chopper! Ahh! No fair, why’d you have to pull a gun for-? Ah! Alright, that’s it, lady! Now I’m going to hear you scream!

Riza

Uh!

Barry

Ahhh! Hey, how come you’re not paralyzed with fear?

Riza

You actually remind me of someone else I know.

Barry

Let me guess, Alphonse, something or other?

Riza

Uh! You’ve met Alphonse before?

Barry

Hahahaha, so the guy’s a friend of yours is he? I’m going to tell you something sweetheart, you are one strong woman!

Roy

The Philosopher’s Stone…

I can’t believe the Fifth Laboratory was being used to make something like that.

Riza

It gets worse; there’s a chance that Military Senior Staff was involved as well.

Roy

Plus there were those other two, Lust and Envy. Are they the ones who made you into what you are now?

Barry

Nah, it was the researchers that did that. Ripped my soul right out of my body, and slapped it into this suit of armor you see, here.

We can track down these so called researchers, if we find them, maybe they can tell us who ordered the experiments.

Barry

Fat chance of that. They were all used to create Philosopher’s Stones, there’s not a single one of them left alive.

Roy

Silenced and then used as ingredients, how efficiently planned.

Riza

Do you think this means they have what they need, or will they try to make additional Stones?

Roy

I have one more question for you. A little over a month ago, a military officer was killed in a telephone booth, in Central. Were you the one who did it?

Barry

Phone booth doesn’t sound familiar. Was he all chopped up?

Roy

Never mind.

Roy

Hold on a damn second! What are you saying, Al...? That's just not possible.

Alphonse

Yeah, that's what I thought, until I got kidnapped by a Homunculus... He called himself Greed... One thing he told me is that nothing is impossible. I know for a fact that they have amazing healing powers. I watched Greed get the top half of his head knocked off... but he was perfectly fine a minute later. They're real alright... but I understand if you don't believe me.

Riza

After what I just saw... I have to believe you.

Roy

Hold on... I rendered fat boy down to a bubbling puddle back there... Are you telling me he's still alive?

Alphonse

Probably.

Roy

Wonderful... It's just a never ending parade of freaks lately, huh?

Barry

I was wondering when you were gonna show up, Lusty.

Lust

Number 66... Care to explain why you're helping the Colonel?

Barry

I thought it'd be fun to switch things up... Besides... I've wanted to chop you up since I met you.

Lust

You're such a handful, 66... And I'm sad to see you here, armor boy... You just had to tag along. Talk about a setback... It's bad enough to lose one... But now you're forcing me to kill a second candidate.

Alphonse

[confused] Candidate? A second one?

Lust

Yeah... You and Mr. Gallantry.

Barry

That's enough of the casual chit chat, Lust! All I wanna hear from you is screaming!

Lust

I do hate over-confident men.

Lust

Now then... Where were we? I think I was about to send the Lieutenant to join her superior.

Riza

Wait a minute... So when you said you'd already had to kill someone... It can't be... You didn't...!

Riza

YOU BITCH! WAHHHHHH!

Lust

Such a sad and weak creature... Another typical human.

Alphonse

Stand up, Lieutenant... You need to get out of here.

Lust

Do you want me to kill you first? Oh, my... It appears you've opened the portal. Such a shame... You are a perfect candidate.

Riza

Listen, Alphonse... Leave me and save yourself.

Alphonse

No!

Riza

Run!

Alphonse

I won't!

Riza

Go!

Alphonse

I won't leave you! I'm sick of watching people die! And I can't just sit back and take it anymore! I won't let anyone else get killed! Not when I can protect them!

Roy

Well spoken! I couldn’t agree more!

You're an idiot! It's bad enough you believed her, but then you gave up?!

Hawkeye

Please, forgive me, Colonel.

You've gotta stay strong. Don't you EVER give up on living. I need to know you can keep your cool no matter what happens.

Hawkeye

Yes, sir.

I'm gonna continue to rely on you to watch my back. Don't let me down.

You oughta think about taking your own advice, Colonel. Since you were the one who abandoned his post.

Roy

Hey! SHUT UP, HAVOC! [his injury plays up as a result of him yelling] AGH! Ugghh… And what the hell, why are we even in the same room? At my rank I should have my own room, with a hot nurse.

Riza

Try to understand sir; it was easier to protect you both in the same room.

Roy

Which reminds me: Why haven’t they tried to kill us yet?

Envy

What’s wrong with you? How could you let that bastard go after what he did? You should have yanked his spine out of his mouth!

Gluttony

Lust… He killed Lust…

Envy

It’s not too late to kill him! So get to it!

We can use Mustang, he’s useless if we kill him however.

Envy

Use him? Hold on, you mean the portal?

You don’t need to worry about it. And forget Mustang. Father wants me to handle it.

Just let me get on with my life. I beg you.

Roy

Alright. You're cut loose. I'll leave you behind so you can catch up. I've gotta keep moving... but I'll see you at the top.

Riza

He doesn't give up... He didn't even think about turning his back on me... And I had given up on living. It's not in him to abandon others... He refuses to.

He's a fool. He's not gonna make it to the top... This country'll chew him up if keeps on acting this soft.

Riza

Well, I don't know about that... This country needs a fool like that man.

Roy

Well, these are either the gates to glory, or the entrance way to Hell. Wait here, Lieutenant... If anything happens to me, then at least you'll have a chance of getting out alive.

Riza

No, sir.

Roy

That was an order.

Riza

One that I cannot obey.

Roy

You're a stubborn one.

Riza

That's something you've always known, sir.

Roy

All right... Will you stay here if I promise to come back?

Riza

Yes... Happy hunting, sir.

Lieutenant Hawkeye!

Riza

What is it, sergeant?

It’s just that… I got a letter from the personnel bureau. And well, I’m being transferred to the Southern Command Center.

Riza

They transferred you?

And I’m not the only one, Warrant Officer Falman is being transferred to the Northern Command Center, and Second Lieutenant Breda is being sent to the Western Command Center. [Two men come into view]

Lieutenant Hawkeye?

Riza

Yes, sir.

I'm Yakovlev, from Personnel.

Riza

Am I being transferred?

And my name is Storch. I'm the personal assistant to the Fuhrer Bradley... I need you to take this.

Riza

Am I being reassigned, sir?

That's correct.

Riza

I'd like to look at them. Uh! What is this? This can't be right! Are you sure that these are my orders?

Where are they sending you?

Riza

"First Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye is to report for duty... At Central Command Center... As personal assistant to Fuhrer Bradley."

Roy

Ah, you don't say.

They've all but stopped fighting back with their guns. Could they be just about out of ammunition?

All right, we're moving in on them! Round up everyone we have left!

Yoohoo, Riza!

Riza

Rebecca, you're late!

Sorry, sorry! I've got some nice presents for those of you who've been waiting!
