LustHuman foolishness never ceases to amaze me. Wouldn't you agree, Gluttony?
Fools indeed, sad but true.
[Father Cornello walks in, apparently alive.]
Lust
Well, well. If it isn't the Father.
Lust
Sorry to have to put you to all this trouble.
As soon as we have everything handled here, I have my own responsibilities I need to get back to.
Lust
The Fullmetal boy's interference was irritating, but at least we were able to make it work in our favor. Looks like we'll finish up ahead of schedule.
Manipulate a little information, spout some empty rhetoric into the believers, and you have a fine recipe for instant violence. Humans are such simple creatures.
Lust
Bloodshed gives way to more bloodshed. Hatred breeds more hatred... Until all the violence soaks into the land, carving rivers of blood. and no matter how many times it happens, they never learn. The human race is made up of violent miserable fools.
Was he more than willing to play into our hands?
Are lots of people gonna die again?
Lust
Yes, they will.
Ooh! Can I eat all of them after they die?
Lust
No, you may not. By the way, Envy, could you lose the old man costume? It's rather unattractive.
["Cornello", or rather, the individual named Envy, frowns, then smirks.]
Come on. I was just staying in character. But... if you insist. [He begins to transform] This time around I'll grow a younger, cuter body, what'ya say?
[Envy finishes transforming, adopting the form of an androgynous, teenager-ish figure with feminine clothing and spiky hair. Just as he finishes his morph, Brother Cray walks in!]
CCray
A-! A-A monster! What's going on here? What have you done?! What have you done with the real Father Cornello?!
Lust
It's your call.
He called me a monster, i'd say that's quite rude, don't you?
[Gluttony proceeds to devour Cray off-screen.]
Oh, hate to hear the news. Shou Tucker, head Alchemist of East City? He's dead.
Lust
Tucker? Why should we care about a little nothing like him?
Because it's him who's responsible for the murder.
Lust
Speaking of East City, isn't that where the Flame Colonel is staying right now?
Yeah, and apparently, the Fullmetal brat's there, too.
Lust
Oh, is he? As furious as I am that he interfered with our work here, we can't very well let him die. He's an important sacrifice.
[Gluttony has finished eating Cray. All that remains of the man is a pool of blood.]
Lust
We'll find some way of handling the situation. The other one we were speaking of... what was his name?
Lust
In the end, burning the entire place down was easier.
Oh, is that what you were doing in Central?
Lust
Yeah. The Fullmetal boy found out about Marcoh's research. Something had to be done about it. With that issue taken care of, I thought I would come to see how things are progressing in East City. Is he here? [Gluttony, who has been sniffing the air, stands.] ... Gluttony?
I smell him. I can smell him. The scar faced Ishvallan... he's close. I can taste his stink. Like blood. I still get to eat him, right?
Lust
Oh yes, down to the last strand of hair.
[Before the Older Slicer can reveal the truth, Lust grabs him]
Lust
My, that was a close call. Number 48, you should know better than to talk about things that don't concern you.
[She shatters the Older Slicer's helmet. Then she and Envy see Edward]
Well, well, would you look at that. What's the Fullmetal pipsqueak doing here?
Lust': Such a troublesome boy. How did you find out about this place?
YSYounger Slicer
Brother? Brother! BROTHER!
[Taking the Younger Slicer's sword, Envy starts stabbing him to death]
Quit your pathetic blubbering, you idiot! You were trying to kill one of our most important sacrifices. Do you understand me?! You could've messed up the entire plan! What would we have done then?! Huh?!
[After killing the Younger Slicer, Envy drops the sword and joins Lust in front of Edward]
Tell me who you people are. What plan are you talking about? What do you mean when you say "important sacrifice?"
Oh, my... the pipsqueak's raring to go! I think I made it angry!
... Don't call me pipsqueak again!
Then what would you prefer?... eh, pipsqueak?
[Ed kicks out at Envy, who dodges]
Whoa, now... there's no need to fight here. Someone might get hurt, you know.
This is a fight that you started... so come on!
[Ed's Automail Arm breaks! A small pause follows]
Lust
[deadpan] Technical difficulties?
[Edward shrieks in horror]
[Envy catches Ed off guard and knees him in the stomach]
You're fortunate your arm's broken... If not for that, you wouldn't be getting off so easily.
[He lets the semi-conscious Ed drop to the ground]
Lust
Listen to me well, boy... don't ever forget this. Always remember we allowed you to live. We can't have him poking around this place again, it's too dangerous. We'll have to go. Blow it up.
[Researching in the archives] ...These endless uprisings. The Philosopher's Stone... Human sacrifices... And the outright genocide of the Ishvallan people... Then this means... How could this even happen, and who could orchestrate something as terrible as this...? I've gotta tell the Führer right away.
[By then, Lust enters the room.]
Lust
Hello, Lieutenant Colonel... It's nice to meet you... Well, actually... 'Hello' really isn't the word I'm looking for.
[notices Lust's Ouroboros Tattoo above her breasts] Cool tattoo you've got there...
Lust
Those are your last words...? Wouldn't you rather scream?
Lust
It's been a century since I've seen that face. Rise and shine, Greed. You can't sleep all day.
Well, well. The gang's all here.
Lust
Looks like your Ultimate Shield let you down after all.
Maybe, but you never do, Lust the Lascivious... Feel free to pierce me with your Ultimate Spear anytime you want. Hello, Gluttony the Voracious. Still haven't found the right diet for you yet, huh? And little Envy the Jealous. Please! For the last time, get a new outfit! And where is Sloth the Indolent these days?
Lust
First you stand me up on our date, then you point a gun at me? You've got some nerve, don't you!
Solaris? What's going on?
Hey, Havoc. Your girl's got the tattoo.
[A close-up of the Ouroboros tattoo above Lust's breasts are shown.]
Yeah, first I've seen of it, sir.
[Lust's impressive chest bounces abruptly.]
Lust
Quit staring, it's not very polite.
Well, I can see how she tricked you so easily. You've always been a sucker for big boobs.
[shedding manly tears while standing in a backlight] I can't help it sir! I love 'em!
I was wondering when you were gonna show up, Lusty.
Lust
Number 66... Care to explain why you're helping the Colonel?
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.
[confused] Candidate? A second one?
Lust
Yeah... You and Mr. Gallantry.
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 proceeds to cut up Barry's armor suit without so much as breaking a sweat.]
Lust
Now then... Where were we? I think I was about to send the Lieutenant to join her superior.
Wait a minute... So when you said you'd already had to kill someone... It can't be... You didn't...!
[Lust grins sadistically, as if confirming Riza's fears.]
[She shoots Lust repeatedly, but the bullets have no cumulative effect. Riza breaks down in defeated tears.]
Lust
Such a sad and weak creature... Another typical human.
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.
Listen, Alphonse... Leave me and save yourself.
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!
Well spoken! I couldn’t agree more!
You told me I couldn't kill you... but I'd like to try and prove you wrong. So let's see... How many times is it gonna take?!
[Roy torches Lust repeatedly. Furious, Lust makes a final charge at him, but he blasts her with flame one last time. After a pause, she begins to disintegrate.]
Lust
[...] You killed me... I hate losing... but there are worse ways to die than at the hands of a man like you. I love how cold and focused your eyes are. I look forward... to the day when those eyes will be wide with agony... [She disappears completely.] It's coming... It's coming...
