PrideAh, you're finally making an appearance...Hohenheim.
[smiles] Heroes always arrive late, you know.
Pride
Hero? Are you saying you mean to defeat me?
No, I couldn't do that. You really are a fright, after all.
Pride
What is he thinking? Is he after something? Here he comes! Oh, what a pathetic strategy. You don't know when to give up.
Pride
your son must like being captured or is supremely stupid.
That’s crossing the line pride. Don’t ever mock my son!
[Red Lightning emerges from Hohemheim’s feat creating a stone sphere around Pride, who tries to escape but gets grabbed by Alphonse]
Pride
HOHENHEEEEIM!
[Pride tries to stab Hohemheim in the face with one of his shadows in the shape of a spear, but stops because of the stone, Hohenheim doesn’t even flinch]
Amazing. He confined him.
What is this?! You trapped Al in there, too, you know! What are you thinking?!
It wasn't my idea. Al suggested we do this.
What's the matter, what's the matter? Your attacks are pretty lackluster, aren't they?
Pride
Please do not misunderstand. Until you have fulfilled your purpose...
You have to keep me alive, huh? Then all I have to do is defeat you all before that happens!
Pride
Defeat us? Please, do try. You are short, so you've always fought those who were bigger than you. Put another way, you have little experience fighting those who are smaller than you!
Pride
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?
Pride
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!
Pride
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]
Pride
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?!
You can't have it, Pride! I won't let you take this body! It's not a good fit for a homunculus!
Pride
Kimblee?! There's no way! How could you maintain your individuality among this tempest of souls?! It's just not possible!
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!
Pride
Why are you interfering?! Kimblee, why?!
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]
Pride
He'll kill me!
If you think that, then you still don't understand Edward Elric!
[as his soul enters Pride's body] Selim!
Pride
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]
Pride
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...
