I would, like to ask one thing, Sir.
What is it, Colonel?
Are you the one who murdered Hughes?
No. That was not me.
Then who did?
Colonel, I only agreed to one question.
All S1
S1 E15Unfinished Business
Winry, is that you!?
Brother, is Winry there!?
Ed?! What, did you break your Automail again?
NO! I'm calling. Uh, er, well... to see whether you got there safely or not. Like you haven't seen any strange people or anything, right?
...Ed, You're creeping me out.
WHAT'S THAT'S SUPPOSE TO MEAN!?
Well, you hardly ever call me, so this is rather odd! As if someone as tactless as yourself could actually worry about others! This weird, like a snow storm in the summer.
Well...
Thanks, though. I'm happy... that you called.
...huh. Sure.
[He hangs up]
You know, it's must really like her to let your desperate fears to be used like that!
Ling!?
No, I already told you, Greed.
What do you want?
You pal wanted me to give you this.
Ling? What's it say?
Yeah. Can't read it. He said to give it to a girl.
How do I know you won't follow us and murder her?
It's not my thing to fight women. Plus, I never lie. But hey, it's your call.
[Greed walks off]
Hey, Ling!
It's still Greed, kid.
I... She's not in any real danger. She'll have to stay in bed for a few days.
I'm relieved
Increasing my number of patients on a whim like that! Where I am going to sleep!? Tell me that!
I'm sorry!
The Young Lord! Isn't he here with you?
I met him once. He said a king exists for his people. As if the people matter. The fool, just where did that get him? Typical human.
Shut the hell up! [suddenly regaining control and glaring at Bradley] Don't underestimate humans.
[Bradley is frozen and wide-eyed]
... I know, he is smart as he vigilantly waits for an opportunity to take control of this body!
He must have been taking second thoughts. Now that he has taken a monster into his flesh.
[May Chang and Lan Fan are about to fight each other]
Hey! Just hold on a minute! I don't know what this is about, but you can't fight like thi—!
MLMay and Lan Fan
QUIT TRYING TO INTERFERE WITH THE AFFAIRS OF OUR COUNTRY!
WAH! [falls on his back in surprise]
My wounds aren't going to slow me down.
Is that so? Well, neither will mine!
[Before the fight starts, Dr. Knox enters, looking furious]
WHAT THE HELL DO YOU TWO THINK YOU'RE DOING?! [slams a bowl of food and a washbasin on each of May and Lan Fan's heads] You're supposed to be resting in bed!
[clutching her head pitifully] Quit trying to interfere with the affairs of our countr—!
I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE AFFAIRS OF YOUR COUNTRY, DUMBASS! Geez... it doesn't matter where you're from, you're both my patients.
[May and Lan Fan growl at each other, but Knox rounds on them again]
You're not planning on making an even larger mess around here, are you? Huh? 'Cuz if you do, you might release an unknown pathogen from the floorboards... and kill everyone in the house.
[May and Lan Fan are now holding each other in fear]
Tell me the truth right now before my right hand destroys you!
Why are soldiers, who ought to protect citizens, killing them instead? Why is alchemy, which ought to bring happiness to the people, being used for murder?
Right. A "hero" from that horrible war becomes nothing but a mass murderer. Not just the Colonel, but Dr. Knox and the others who took part in human experimentation. Even I would be tried as a criminal for what I did. The only thing that really protects a soldier is his uniform.
Umm... Mister Armor? Thank you so much... for saving us.
My name's Alphonse. Alphonse Elric.
Elric?
You know Edward Elric, right? The short Alchemist you were yelling at before. I'm his little brother. You already know since you were inside, but I don't have a body. Keep it a secret, ok?
If you're his brother, does that mean you have the same angry look.
NO WAY! For starters, I'm way taller than him, better looking, and fight better than him! Plus, I'm not short tempered at all! I'm a perfect gentleman!
[For a second, May tries to imagine what he could look like. Like with Edward before, she imagines a charming, prince-like figure. May squeals in delight, now head-over-heels once again.]
Alphonse, I hope you get your body back really soon!
Uh, why, thank you...
So, you're asking me to take your life in place of the remaining tens of thousands of Ishvalans?
LLLogue Lowe
That's correct I stand...
How arrogant of you. Do you sincerely believe that your single life is equivalent to the remaining multitude of your followers? Your stature has gone to your head. The life of any individual human is only worth one life. That's all. Nothing more, and nothing less. Your life is not enough to call off the extermination.
I1Ishvalan #1
How can you be so inhuman?!
I2Ishvalan #2
You will suffer the hammer of God!
God, you say? Now this is intriguing. How much longer to you think your "God" plans to wait before unleashing His fury? Just how many thousands of lives must I take before He decides to strike me down?
I2Ishvalan #2
You're a monster!
Open your eyes! God is nothing more than a construct created by man to inspire fear and promote order. If you wish to see me struck down, for all these atrocities, use your own hands to do so, not God's!
Speaking of. You owe me money. How 'bout you cough it up?
Eyes on the road! [The car goes wild] You remembered!? C'mon, how much did I borrow, 500 Cenz?
It was 520 Cenz! Don't con me!
I'm not conning you! I'm just not like a penny-pincher like you.
I'm sorry, Colonel.
At this rate, you'll never make it big. [looks down at the cents] Actually I am going to hang on to this. I will return it when you become the Führer.
Who told you?
Lieutenant Hawkeye. She told me about Ishval too. [arrives at destination]
Fullmetal, you can keep the change for now, but I'll be getting it back for sure.
And when that day comes, I'll borrow more money from you again, With the promise of, "I will pay you back when you turn this country into a democracy." And when you get that back, I'll borrow some money and make sure you agree to something else.
Which means I have a long life ahead of me, huh?
That'r right. Quit worrying the Lieutenant! [slams door] Thanks for the ride.
You really DO wear armor! Awesome!
Who is he?
Mr. Armor called you brother! Does that mean your Edward Elric? The Fullmetal Alchemist??
Yeah.
Awhhh cool! You are a tiny alchemist! Just like everyone says!
[stutters, then beomes enraged] What was that, you brat?! Say it again! Once more! I'll send you flying! Do you hear me? Your little body will go straight up into space!
That's true too! You hate being called small! Just like everyone says!
[screams]
BMrs. Bradley
He's always been devoted to his work, though. Though he's a complete dunce when it comes to understanding women... One time he was so rude, I slapped him in the face! I guess it was fate, though, because we've been together ever since! Why, on our first date... Oh, would you listen to me! Never mind, never mind. Tehehehehehe...
