Stay right there! Or the next one puts a hole in your head.
This isn't going quite as I planned.

...You didn't drink your milk.
...Why should I? I hate it.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE SMALL AND STUNTED FOREVER IF YOU KEEP USING THAT STUPID EXCUSE!
SHUT UP! I DON'T HAVE TO DRINK IT IF I DON'T WANNA!
YOU SOUND LIKE A SPOILED LITTLE BRAT, EDWARD ELRIC!
RRoss
Every growing boy needs his milk.
BBrosh
Yeah, you want the girls to like you, don't you?!
Well done! Ah, it feels good to have it back. Thanks a lot!
Sure. No problem.
[Hughes busts into Ed's hospital room.]
Yo, Ed, my boy! Is it true you brought a pretty blonde girl into your room to service you?
[Ed falls off his bed face down on the floor, his wound re-opening briefly.]
She's my automail mechanic! That's all, nothing more!
Oh, I see. You've seduced your mechanic, have you?
[freaks out] GAH! THAT ISN'T WHAT I SAID AT ALL! WERE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME?!
In general, men prefer to let their actions speak instead of words. When they're in pain, they don't want to burden anyone with it, not if they can help it. They don't want anyone to worry about them. That's how they are. Even so, there may come a time when they'll ask for your help. And when they do, I know that you'll be there for them. Isn't that enough?
[speaking to a pint of milk] So we meet again, you little bastard! I'm not gonna drink you.
Brother. You have a living body that needs nourishment. You have to drink it.
I don't have to if I don't want to. It may not look like it, but I have grown some, but everyone still calls me a pipsqueak. I wish I was like you, Al. You've got such a big body now.
[suddenly snaps] IT'S NOT LIKE I ASKED FOR THIS BODY, "BROTHER!"
[lying in a bed, the first surgery to attach automail finished] It's all my fault Al lost his body and it's all my fault he can't eat anymore, he can't sleep, he can't feel cold nor warmth. He's my little brother and I'm supposed to protect him and I did this! How can he ever forgive me?
We've always fought like this... ever since we were really little. Now that I think about it, we've fought over some really stupid things, haven't we?
Like who would get the top and bottom bunk.
Yeah.
We fought over candy a lot too, huh?
And that toy, you remember?
I won that one. And when we played in the rain river too.
Oh yeah... you shoved me into the water.
And that fight we had during our training?
Teacher said we were being too loud, then she beat us up herself. We called that one a draw.
We even fought over which one of us would marry Winry someday.
EPEdward [panicking]
What? Don't remember that one.
I won the fight, but she shot me down.
Oh, did she? [Long pause...] You're telling me that all those memories are lies?
...Sorry.
The power of one man doesn't amount to much, But however little strength I'm capable of... I'll do everything humanly possible to protect the people I love, And in turn they'll protect the ones they love. It seems like the least we tiny humans can do for each other.
Sounds like a pyramid scheme, There's just one thing. If you hope to eventually protect everyone... then you'll have to figure out a way to stand at the top of the pyramid.
I can only imagine how good it must feel up there, Hughes... Although... I'll never be able to find out without all the support I can get.
There's no doubt about that. You're not very subtle, y'know. You've got my support... But you could've just asked me... It ought to be fun to watch though... And maybe your naive idealism might actually do some good.
[Researching in the archives] ...These endless uprisings. The Philosopher's Stone... Human sacrifices... And the outright genocide of the Ishvallan people... Then this means... How could this even happen, and who could orchestrate something as terrible as this...? I've gotta tell the Führer right away.
[By then, Lust enters the room.]
Hello, Lieutenant Colonel... It's nice to meet you... Well, actually... 'Hello' really isn't the word I'm looking for.
[notices Lust's Ouroboros Tattoo above her breasts] Cool tattoo you've got there...
Those are your last words...? Wouldn't you rather scream?
You look just like... But you're not. Who the hell are you, lady?
EAEnvy [as Maria Ross]
I'm Second Lieutenant Ross, sir. You've lost too much blood.
Drop the act already. You're not Second Lieutenant Ross. She has a mole under her left eye!
EIEnvy [in his normal voice]
You're observant... I can't believe I forgot... [He fixes the mistake.] There. How do I look now?
This is not happening... Please tell me that I'm hallucinating or something.
You really are a smart man, Lieutenant Colonel. Did you ever think that'd be the cause of your death?
[takes out a knife] C'mon, have a heart, will ya...? I've got a wife and daughter waiting for me... So the last thing I'm gonna do... is die on them!
[He turns around to see Gracia.]
You look surprised!
... What the hell are you?!
[A gunshot is fired. Meanwhile, at the East...]
TOTelephone Operator
There's a Lieutenant Colonel Hughes on hold for you. He claims it's urgent.
Of course he does... Put him through... Look, Hughes, I don't have time for daughter stories. [A pause.] Hey, Hughes? Hughes...? You okay...? Hughes?!
EAEnvy [as he hangs the phone]
You humans don't make any sense to me. You throw away your lives for nothing.
[Envy takes his leave as Hughes is covered in his own blood.]
Gracia... I'm so sorry... Elysia... Remember, Daddy loves you... I'm sorry.
[He dies.]
EElysia
Mommy? Why are they putting all that dirt on Daddy?
GGracia
They're burying him, dear.
EElysia
But if Daddy gets buried, then he won't be able to do all his work.
GGracia
[crying] Elysia!
EElysia
Daddy said he has a bunch of work he needs to do! No, stop it! Stop putting dirt on him! Daddy!
Alchemists as a whole, we really are horrible creatures, aren't we? There's a side of me that's desperately trying to crack the theories of Human Transmutation right now. I think I understand what drove those boys when they tried to... bring back their mother.
[pauses, trying to gauge him] Are you alright, colonel?
[putting his cap on] Yeah, I'm fine... except... it's a terrible day for rain.
[confused, looking at sky] But... what do you mean? It's not raining... [Then she looks at him again]
[lifts chin, and a tear spills] Yes it is.
Oh... so it is.
I hate to say it, but it sounds like there might be some kind of conspiracy going on here. But how does it all tie together?
That's the big question. But Hughes... I'd say he deserves an answer. Once I'm transferred to Central... I'm gonna start shaking things up until I find one.
Doesn't sound like you to mix your public and personal concerns.
There's no difference between the two. I will become the Fuhrer of this country AND I will take vengeance for Hughes. I'll do these things because I have to do them. I'm going after the senior staff. Are you with me, Lieutenant?
Do you even have to ask?
[Adjusting his belt] Geez, this is why i steer clear of automail engineers. [realizing his Silver Watch has been stolen] Oh no!
Is something wrong Ed?
It's gone.
WAWinry and Alphonse
What did you lose?
Only the thing that proves I'm a State Alchemist, my Silver Watch, gone.
[All 3 start panicking]
E1Engineer 1
It sounds like you guys had a run-in with Paninya.
Paninya?
E2Engineer 2
She's a pickpocket around here who likes to target tourists.
Do you know how I can track down this Paninya girl? She took something important.
E1Engineer 1
Let's see, where is she again?
E2Engineer 2
I know what might jog my memory.
E1Engineer 1
If only we could just have one more look at that automail!
[Edward menaces them]
E1Engineer 1 and 2
The automail shop run by an engineer named Dominick!
[Skips to Ed, Al and Winry making their way to Dominick's shop]
Apparently this guy lives deep in the mountains because he can find the highest quality ore way out here, are you absolutely sure were going in the right direction? Cause these engineers could have tricked us.
What are you complaining about. This is all your fault for dragging us to that stupid automail town in the first place.
My fault, your the one who was dumb enough to let his watch get stolen!
OH REALLY!?!
Hum, hey you guys.
EWEdward and Winry
WHAT AL!?!
Could that be her? [Pointing towards Paninya with Ed's watch in her hand]
HA HA, I GOT YOU NOW! [Runs after Paninya]
DDominic
This arm seems a bit heavy.
Yes, I guess it is.
DDominic
You ought to be more careful not to strain your outfittee. That could be the reason why his growth is stunted.
HEY, SHUT UP! [realizes what Dominic said] Wait, are you telling me if my automail was lighter, I'd grow taller than this?
DDominic
It is a possibility.
