If ever there was an example of the Devil's work in this world, this case would definitely be it.
The Devil, huh? A State Alchemist must be willing to act, able to take another's life when ordered to without question. In some ways, Mr. Tucker's actions and our own may not be all that far apart, when it comes to interfering with other people's lives. We choose our own path, knowing full well what we're doing. That's the way it is. Right, Fullmetal? [Ed has his face down, arms folded, his body drenched in the rain.] You will more than likely come across cases like this again in the future, and you may end up having to get your own hands dirty as well. Are you gonna shut down like this every time?
We may be called dogs of the military. We may even be cursed as devils. That doesn't matter. Al and I are still going to get our bodies back. We know the truth. We know we're not devils. I know we're not gods. We're human... [suddenly screaming]: WE'RE ONLY HUMAN! ...who can't even do anything to save one innocent little girl... so what good are we then?
