SJSolf J. Kimblee
Hands down, that's got to be the funniest joke I've heard in a long, long time. The Freezing Alchemist wants me to come play his sidekick. Well, as fun as that sounds, the Crimson Alchemist works alone like he always had.
Kimblee, if we work together, we can bring down Bradley and his god-forsaken military! You saw the horrors that took place in Ishval, you were there, dammit! You know the things Bradley ordered us to do, the kind of man he really is! ... That's why you killed all those officers, isn't it? To send him a message?
KKimblee
[brief laugh] I think you've got me all wrong. My motives aren't so sophisticated as "revenge" or "honor" or any of that... The reason I killed all of those men.....was because I could. It's that simple.
That's too bad, Kimblee. That truly is too bad. [to a guard he froze]: Keep up the good work.
Damn you Greed, have you forgotten that you're one of the Homunculi? Where's your honor?
You assume that he should just be a good boy like you and do everything as father tells him. Is that it?
Do you need to ask such a ridiculous question? It's only natural we should want to obey our father, no matter the order.
Heh! You are the one who's ridiculous! Only natural huh? So it's natural to be a brainwashed punk who doesn't even try to think for himself?!
[Pride grabs Ed, throwing him up and down with his shadows.]
Explain it to me! Why are you so eager to be his willing lapdog? He's wearing you ragged, breaking you down, he doesn't even care!
Why should I care if Father doesn't? I am not a puny weakling like you are, I am one of the Homunculi! WHAT DO YOU KNOW, HUMAN?!?!
[The Homunculus proceeds to torture Ed by using his shadows]
This container won't last much longer. But still, like my Father is, you are of Hohenheim's bloodline. So we're virtually brothers. Which means, Edward Elric, I can use your container! Your body belongs to me! What?!
KKimblee
You can't have it, Pride! I won't let you take this body! It's not a good fit for a homunculus!
Kimblee?! There's no way! How could you maintain your individuality among this tempest of souls?! It's just not possible!
KKimblee
You call this a tempest?! Oh, stop, you're going to make me laugh! The bitterness that all these voices contain soothes me like a lullaby!
Why are you interfering?! Kimblee, why?!
KKimblee
Not my choice. I was perfectly content, but when you decided to throw away you honor as a homunculus, you forced me to step in. You speak of your precious pride, a quality for which you were named. But then you suddenly find yourself in grave danger, and you seek to escape into the body of a human, a lower life form that you so despise. It's pathetic. You're a disgrace!
[Ed breaks free, claps his hands and grabs Pride on his face, transmuting them both]
KKimblee
If you think that, then you still don't understand Edward Elric!
[as his soul enters Pride's body] Selim!
Impossible! He's turned himself into a Philosopher's Stone, and he's forcing his way inside me?!
I caught you! You're mine!
[He grabs Pride, causing images of Bradley and his wife to appear in the Homunculus' eye]
Stop this. Stop this...! PLEASE STOP!
[Back in physical reality, as Ed's soul returns to his body, Pride's body dissolves to ashes with a fetus lying in the Fullmetal Alchemist's hand]
So this is your real body... [takes off his coat and places Pride on it] Once this is all over, I’m gonna have to apologize to Mrs. Bradley. You can wait right there, you foolish boy.
[remorseful] Mama... Mama...
