Hohenheim and Homunculus in “Unfinished Business”

Hohenheim

I’m grateful to you.

Oh, for what?

Hohenheim

I live as well as I do now, because of the knowledge you gave me. And, I’ve also earned the master’s respect. Thanks to you, maybe someday, I’ll even be able to get married, and have a family.

A family, huh? How inconvenient for you humans. Unless you form communities, and breed, your species can’t continue to exist.

Hohenheim

Don’t call it breeding, and whether or not it’s a concept that you’re able to understand. That’s where humans find happiness. We live for the bonds we form with friends and family members. That’s who we humans are.

Sure, whatever you say.

Hohenheim

Okay, then. What is it that makes you happy?

Well, I’d hate to be guilty of asking too much, but I think I’d be happy if I could just leave this flask.
