Human foolishness never ceases to amaze me. Wouldn't you agree, Gluttony?
Fools, all of 'em.
Fools indeed, sad but true.
[Father Cornello walks in, apparently alive.]
Well, well. If it isn't the Father.
Yeah, Father.
Sorry to have to put you to all this trouble.
As soon as we have everything handled here, I have my own responsibilities I need to get back to.
The Fullmetal boy's interference was irritating, but at least we were able to make it work in our favor. Looks like we'll finish up ahead of schedule.
Manipulate a little information, spout some empty rhetoric into the believers, and you have a fine recipe for instant violence. Humans are such simple creatures.
Bloodshed gives way to more bloodshed. Hatred breeds more hatred... Until all the violence soaks into the land, carving rivers of blood. and no matter how many times it happens, they never learn. The human race is made up of violent miserable fools.
Was he more than willing to play into our hands?
Are lots of people gonna die again?
Yes, they will.
Ooh! Can I eat all of them after they die?
No, you may not. By the way, Envy, could you lose the old man costume? It's rather unattractive.
["Cornello", or rather, the individual named Envy, frowns, then smirks.]
Come on. I was just staying in character. But... if you insist. [He begins to transform] This time around I'll grow a younger, cuter body, what'ya say?
[Envy finishes transforming, adopting the form of an androgynous, teenager-ish figure with feminine clothing and spiky hair. Just as he finishes his morph, Brother Cray walks in!]
A-! A-A monster! What's going on here? What have you done?! What have you done with the real Father Cornello?!
It's your call.
He called me a monster, i'd say that's quite rude, don't you?
Can I eat him? Can I?
[Gluttony proceeds to devour Cray off-screen.]
Oh, hate to hear the news. Shou Tucker, head Alchemist of East City? He's dead.
Tucker? Why should we care about a little nothing like him?
Because it's him who's responsible for the murder.
Speaking of East City, isn't that where the Flame Colonel is staying right now?
Yeah, and apparently, the Fullmetal brat's there, too.
Oh, is he? As furious as I am that he interfered with our work here, we can't very well let him die. He's an important sacrifice.
[Gluttony has finished eating Cray. All that remains of the man is a pool of blood.]
That was so yummy!
We'll find some way of handling the situation. The other one we were speaking of... what was his name?
