Cornello quotes from Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

Edward

DAMN IT, I'M THE FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST! IT'S NOT HIM, IT'S ME!

He's the short one?!

Your arm. A brother trapped in armor! I see. It's all becoming clear now. You did it, didn't you? The one thing even the most novice alchemist knows is strictly forbidden!

Edward

Why don't you come down here and try me? I'll show you real quick who the novice is!

Cornello

Rosé... this is the price of their sin... These fools attempted human transmutation: the greatest taboo for any alchemist! In their arrogance, they tried to bring someone dead back to life!

Oh no...

Edward

This is what happens when you try to play "God", or whatever you want to call it... Take a good look, Rose. Is this what you want?

Cornello

So this is the great Fullmetal Alchemist, Edward Elric... Not even half a man...! Hell, not even half a boy!

Edward

And what're you?! You're just a phony that can't do anything without a Philosopher's Stone!

Alphonse

Father, we just want you to hand over the Stone before you get hurt.

Cornello

Don't be absurd! Why, so you can use it for yourself?! Please... [uses his Philosopher's Stone to turn his cane into a Gatling Gun] If you fools are really so eager to play God, then perhaps I should send you to meet him instead!

Edward

Nah, me and God... we don't get along too well. Even if I went... he'd probably just send me right back here.

What the hell...? The stone... It's supposed to be a perfect material; how did it just break like that?!

Cornello

I-I don't know! I don't know anything about it! S-Spare me! Please! I–I was wrong! Please! I beg you!

Edward

It's a damn fake...?

Cornello

Please don't! I'm helpless without the Stone! Spare me, please!

Edward

You mean, we went through all this... risked our lives just for this one possible chance... and it's a fake?

Cornello

So, uh... ha ha... what about me?

Edward

[finally snaps] I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU DO! JUST GET OUTTA HERE!

Cornello

Right! [runs away whimpering]

Lust

Human foolishness never ceases to amaze me. Wouldn't you agree, Gluttony?

Gluttony

Fools, all of 'em.

"Cornello"

Fools indeed, sad but true.

Lust

Well, well. If it isn't the Father.

Gluttony

Yeah, Father.

Lust

Sorry to have to put you to all this trouble.

"Cornello"

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.

"Cornello"

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.

"Cornello"

Was he more than willing to play into our hands?

Gluttony

Are lots of people gonna die again?

Lust

Yes, they will.

Gluttony

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.

Envy

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?

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.

Envy

He called me a monster, i'd say that's quite rude, don't you?

Gluttony

Can I eat him? Can I?

Envy

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?

Envy

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?

Envy

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

That was so yummy!

Lust

We'll find some way of handling the situation. The other one we were speaking of... what was his name?
