TV show quotes
Brother...
Now, when it really counts... I can't do anything.
UH- I'M GONNA DIE IN HERE! IT HURTS... I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!
I know we're not big believers in God.
Hm.
Maybe He could help us... [His head slumps between his knees]...just once.
Awesome! It's a real live baby! [Pumping his arms] Awesome! Awesome awesome awesome!
Really? "Awesome"? That's all you can think of to describe this?
Uh? How else should I describe it? This is the birth of a new life! Alchemists have worked for centuries and we're still not able to do that! A person creating another person!
You've gotta be kidding me. Now you're lumping in alchemy with the miracle of birth?
An occupational hazard. It's just the way I think.
It's humiliating to be carried by a boy who's smaller than I am.
I could easily drop you, y'know.
Ed...
Huh, What is it?
I saw it. The engraving that's inside your pocket watch. [Ed drops her] Ow ow ow, that really hurt!
You forced it open?
Winry Yeah, I'm so sorry.
You idiot.
Izumi... The Elric shrimps have come for a visit. Do think you can you see them?
I'll be right there. I'm feeling a little better today.
Lying down? That's not a good sign.
I guess she hasn't gotten any better since last time. [Izumi kicks Ed]
Hello, my stupid pupil... I hear you've become one of the military's dogs!
Uh, Teacher, it's me...it's because... um...
[Notices Al as her rage subsides] Al?! Look at you! You've gotten so big!
Teacher...! It's really good to see WHOA-AAH! [Izumi flips Al]
Your skills are rusty.
You've got lots of energy for someone who's not feeling well.
Not feeling well?! What're you talking about? I'm perfectly- bleh!
You shouldn't exert yourself.
How sweet of you to worry, dear! Thank you!
Hey, old lady, could you be our teacher?
[izumi creates a hand punching them away]
EEYURAGH! Pretty please, old lady?
I'm a little hard of hearing, you see? So I didn't quite catch that! Maybe you'd like to repeat yourself.
We'll try again.
Please, please teach us, pretty lady?
You two are on your own. This is your introductory training... If you do well, we'll move on to the main training phase... During this first stage, the use of alchemy is totally forbidden. "One is all... and all is one..." You have one month figure out what that means. You'd better find the answer in the allotted time... If not, you're headed back to Risembool. Bye.
WHAT DO WE DO NOW!?
Hey, Brother, have you figured out what Teacher meant by "One is All and All is One"? I've been thinking about it this whole time, but I still only have a few vague ideas.
Well, I'm not really sure about this, but... do you remember when I was weak from hunger, and I ate those ants?
You ate a LOT of ants.
Mm. I sure did, and boy, did they taste nasty. But then, that got me thinking. If I hadn't eaten them, I might've died. Then I would've been eaten by them. I'd go into the earth and become grass, then the rabbits would eat that.
You're talking about the food chain, right?
Yeah, but... not just that, either. Long time ago, this whole island was probably at the bottom of the sea. And tens of thousands of years from now, it could be the peak of a mountain for all we know.
All things are connected, is that what you're saying?
Everything we see, everyone we meet, is caught up in a great unseen flow. But it's bigger than that. It's the entire world, the entire universe even. And compared to something as big as that, Al, you and I are tiny, not even the size of ants. Only one small part within a much greater flow. Nothing more than a fraction of the whole. But by putting all those "ones" together, you get one great "All", just like Teacher said. The flow of this universe follows laws of such magnitude that you and I can't even imagine them.
Teacher! [Izumi throws a knife at him] AHHH!
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING COMING BACK HERE?! And you call me ‘Teacher’ I do not teach scum like you! Get out of my home!
Teacher!
We came to you because we’re trying to find a way to get our original bodies back.
And we won’t leave without your help!
GET OUT NOW!
WE’RE STAYING!
You idiots… Al, you didn’t see the Truth, did you?
No, I don’t even really know what that means.
You must’ve lost your memory from the shock. We need to get Al’s memories back. His entire body was taken from him. Just think what he must’ve seen.
Oh yeah, we only exchanged parts of our bodies for what we saw. But Al paid the toll with his entire physical being. He must’ve seen more of the Truth than either of us did.
So, if I can remember what I saw, then we’ll know how to get our bodies back?
But the memory of that thing…
That thing…!
What is it something bad?
No, it’s more like awful!
Yeah! Horrifying!
It could drive you insane!
Or even leave you brain dead!
That doesn’t matter. If there’s a chance that it can help us. Then I want to do it.
Hmmm... I have an acquaintance who might be able to retrieve your memories for you.
Uh!
But. Let's have dinner first. Give me a hand!
OK!
[outside Izumi's home]
The rumors are true! He's able to transmute human souls!
He’s here. There you are, about time.
We know your secret. Meet us at the Devil’s Nest if you want to talk… I’m guessing you’re the people who wrote this note?
That’s right. And we know a lot about you.
Well that’s good, ‘cause there’s a lot about me that I don’t know.
Then I’m the guy you want to talk to. Why don’t you come with us?
But my teacher always said, I’m not supposed to go with strangers.
Uh, how old are you?
Fourteen.
Well come on then, I think fourteen is old enough to think for yourself, kid. You gotta act like an adult, start taking some risks.
You think so!? I should think for myself?
Yes! And you can start by coming with-[Al punches him in the face.]
So I thought it over for myself, and I decided I’m just going to make you tell me what I want to know.
So you wanna do this by force.
You people aren't human, are you?
good guess, they're Chimeras... And they happen to work for me.
Not that you'd know, but growing old isn't easy.
Huh?
This year marks my sixtieth birthday. It's frustrating how your body stops moving the way you want it to... So I'd like to finish this job quickly as possible and return home...
I've got an idea... Retire!
I understand why you'd think you have an advantage over a man like me since I possess neither your impenetrable Ultimate Shield, nor an Ultimate Spear that can pierce any substance... But I'll tell you a secret. Do you know how I managed to distinguish myself amongst the storms of bullets on the battlefield time after time... to rise to my current position?
Y-you're...
I may not have the protection of your Ultimate Shield, but I clearly see your weakness with my Ultimate Eye. Now then, Greed. How many times do I have to kill you before you stay dead?
It's been a century since I've seen that face. Rise and shine, Greed. You can't sleep all day.
Well, well. The gang's all here.
Looks like your Ultimate Shield let you down after all.
Maybe, but you never do, Lust the Lascivious... Feel free to pierce me with your Ultimate Spear anytime you want. Hello, Gluttony the Voracious. Still haven't found the right diet for you yet, huh? And little Envy the Jealous. Please! For the last time, get a new outfit! And where is Sloth the Indolent these days?
Greed. You are both my son and a piece of my soul... So why would you betray your loving father?
I mean, you know the answer to that better than anyone, Dad... I'm Greed the Avaricious... You were the one that made me this way, after all. I'm just being myself. I simply had larger ambitions than spending my life working for you.
And if I were to ask you to return and work for me again?
Never!
As you wish...
Why don'tcha come on in, kids, the water's fine! Nice and hot! Just like the flames in hell...! I'll send you a postcard, let you know what they're like...! And when the rest of you get there- I'll be waiting for you!
Now return from whence you were born... Return to my depths and rejoin my soul.. Return, Greed.
If that's what you want, Dad! Just don't blame me when I give you a stomach-ache! You did it to yourself!
I shall drink to the Promised Day, and to your undying loyalty.
One is all, and all is one. All things in this world are connected. The alchemist who opens the Doorway will find the true nightmare.
Oohoo! You guys are lifesavers! Thanks a lot! Your treat, right?
When did I say that I was paying?
Let's not quibble over something so small!
Who're you calling small?!
To think, I found such hospitality, so far from home!
Far from home? You mean you're not from here?
That's right, I came from Xing!
Oh, Xing, that's the... Country to the east of the desert?
Because I wanted to see the ruins of Xerxes, The route goes by there.
I'm looking for something. It's possible you two have heard of it before... The Philosopher's Stone. I'm very eager to find it. Do you know anything about it?
No... We can't help you.
You wouldn't be lying to me, now would you? [He snaps and Lan Fan and Foo appear, with kunai] So, do you have something to tell me?
Why the interest in the Philosopher's Stone?
I want to achieve... Immortality!
