Hmm. There really is nothing quite like watching fools dig their own graves. Especially, when that fool is an arrogant Homunculus who’s too stupid to see what he’s doing. I’ve humored you long enough. So how about you answer a question of mine? … I want you to tell me who killed Maes Hughes. [Edward gasps and turns to Mustang.] And I want the truth, Homunculus.
[Envy quietly stares back before replying.]
Maria Ross did. Isn’t that why you burned her to death?
Shut up. I know that she didn’t kill him.
Envy [suddenly delighted]: Huh?! You mean to tell me that you scorched an innocent girl to a pile of ashes!? Nicely done, you monster! Wow, it must’ve been fun telling her family. Did you cry when you told them? Or did you sit back quietly, and endure their outrage?
Quit running your mouth, you idiot! [Envy's smile disappears.] I’m sick of you Homunculi giving me the runaround when I ask you this question. Tell me the truth or I’ll burn it out of you! You worthless scum! [Envy frowns agitatedly.] Tell me who’s responsible for his murder.
[A small pause ensues. Envy grins, then he begins to chuckle quietly, before bursting out in sadistic laughter.]
Congratulations, Colonel Mustang. You’ve finally hunted down your culprit.
[Roy tenses up in surprise. Riza draws her gun and points it at Envy. Envy, meanwhile, buries his face in his hand, giggling.]
Roy [suddenly unimpressed]: You’re saying you killed Hughes? I doubt a moron like you could pull that off.
Ha! Moron?! [Envy begins to transform.] Tell me who the real moron is here! Because I don’t think it’s me! I prefer to use that term for someone who falls for a cheap trick like this!
[Envy finishes his transformation, having turned into Gracia Hughes. Roy's eyes widen in horrified shock.]
Ha ha! You should see your face! Oh, you’re not going to believe this, but that was the same look on Hughes's face when I shot him! The utter shock! The dumb confusion! You could see every emotion he felt as his own wife shot him...! AHHH...! IT... WAS... GREAT!
... That’s enough! You were STUPID enough to confess, and even MORE stupid to BOAST! Everything you've said is fuel on your funeral pyre! So then, I think I’ll begin... [Roy's face is contorted with rage.] ... BY BURNING OUT YOUR TONGUE!
