Tucker quotes from Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

This is my library. Feel free to look around.

Edward

Alright! Let's dive in! I'll start with this shelf.

Alphonse

I'll try starting over here.

I'm going to head back to work now. I'll send somebody by to get you this evening. [He blows air out of his nose and smirks]

They've got some ability to focus. I'm not sure they even know we're here anymore. [He adjusts his glasses] Quite a catch, these two. A couple of prodigies.

Oh, Mr. Tucker, I almost forgot. I've got a message for you. It's from the Colonel. He says "Don't forget, Assessment Day is coming soon."

Yes. Please assure him I know.

Right.

Hey, Daddy? What does Assessment Day mean?

State Alchemists have to report on their research once a year in order to keep their certification. You see, last year Nina your daddy didn't get a very good evaluation. Unless I do something really impressive this year, I won't be a State Alchemist anymore.

Nina

Huh? No, you'll do just fine, Daddy! I know you will. You're always studying so much!

[kneels to hug Nina] You're right, Nina. I have to try hard... [in his thoughts] ...or we'll be left with nothing. Again.

Before I earned my State Alchemist certification, our life was terrible. We were so poor in those days. My wife couldn't stand living that kind of life, so she left us. [He sighs.] I can't afford to fail this assessment. I don't want to go back to those days again. I don't even think I could.

Nina

Don't worry, Daddy! It's OK! If those people do tell you no, me and Alexander will growl at them until they say yes!

Alphonse

[He chuckles] You tell them, Nina.

Hey, Nina. I've got an idea... do you want to play with Daddy tomorrow?

Nina

Really?!

Yeah.

Nina

[Nina jumps onto Tucker] Woo-hoo! Alexander! Daddy says he's going to play with us tomorrow! [Alexander barks.]

I wonder why no one's capable of understanding me. Nina.

Scar

You're Shou Tucker, correct?

Who are you? Not military... [now sounding fearful]: ...who are you?! How did you get in here?! There were military police out front!

Scar

Foolish alchemists who turn their back on the ways of God... [He grabs Tucker's face.] ...shall be punished.

[begins to shed tears] Daddy's hurting... Daddy hurts... No, Daddy...

Scar

You poor creature. Once you have been given this form, there is no way of separating you again. [He places his hand to Nina's head.] At least, your passing will be in peace.

Scar

God. Hear me. Two human souls have just been returned to you. Please accept them into your loving arms. Please grant these poor lost souls everlasting peace and salvation.
