Roy, Riza and others in “Unfinished Business”

Roy

What happened? Is it over? Did we win?

Riza

Yes, sir. Although, Alphonse hasn't returned from the other side.

May

I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!

Edward

It's not your fault, May. It was his decision.

Ling

Ed, I've got the toll for him. Take it, it's a Philosopher's Stone. Use it to bring him back.

Edward

I can't. As much as I want to, I can't. I promised Al. We'd never use a Philosopher's Stone. [Thinking] There has to be a way to get him back. There's got to be, think dammit. Think it through, just keep thinking.

Hohenheim

Edward... Use my life for the toll. Use me to save Alphonse. I've got just enough life left.

Edward

No way! I could never do that, you dumbass! This doesn't have anything to do with you. It's our own damn fault. I won't use another human life to get Al back. And I don't care who's at it! Why should you sacrifice your life for our mistakes?!

Hohenheim

Because I'm his father. And that's the only thing that matters. You don't know how much you boys mean to me. I just want you to be happy. And I do bare some responsibility for this, this might not have happened if I'd just been there for you. I'm sorry, Ed. I've lived long enough. Just give me this chance, to act like a father for once in my life.

Edward

Shut up, you rotten father! You say something that dumb again, and I'll knock you out!
