Edward quotes from Fullmetal Alchemist

I see. Well that does answer a riddle: Why the military would give a pup like you such a stern name: Fullmetal. But it's literal. See Rose, alchemists forbid their own from transmuting lead into gold, but there's one practice more taboo. A technique forbidden by man and nature itself: Alchemy...on human souls! You miserable little boys… Dabbling in human alchemy without knowing the penalty… You stepped on the toes of God!

Alphonse

You don’t know the story!

Edward

Al...!

Alphonse

But we… We just wanted… We just wanted to see Mom’s face again… See her smile…

But you failed didn’t you!?

Edward

Yeah… I’d label that a failure alright, Al lost his whole body and I lost an arm and a leg. See Rose, this is what happens when you try to bring back what’s dead. Do you really want to go through with that!?

Don’t let them worry you Rose, you forget that the Sun God Leto blessed me with the Philosopher’s stone, plus I have far more experience than then heretic boys did.

Edward

Don’t be stupid! No matter what kind of power you have some things can’t be done!

Oh? Then why are you so anxious to get this stone? You want to beat the laws of equivalency just as I do and bring your mommy back!

Edward

Wrong, holy man! All we want is to get our bodies normal again. See, we don't lie about what's possible. We didn't start a cult.

Alphonse

We will ask one more time, please give us the stone.

You are damned, State Alchemist, and may the wrath of God fall upon your head.

Edward

Stop hiding behind that crap! Get down here and I'll show you some wrath!

Idiots! You're running into a dead end!

Edward

Like I always say, can't find a door, make your own!

Edward

WHO ARE YOU CALLING A MOUSY LITTLE PIPSQUEAK?!

Nobody said that, now back off!

No! I won't let you have it! You can't take the Stone! Gyaaaaaa!

Edward

What the... It's recoiling?

Aaaaah!

Edward

An imitation? [in disbelief] Heh heh, after all this, all the trouble you put me through, and even the Stone's a fake? STOP JERKING ME AROUND!

Rose

What do I have to live for now that I know Cain won't come back? You tell me that, Ed!

Edward

You'll have to decide for yourself. Walk on your own. Move forward. You've got a good strong pair of legs, Rose. You should get up and use them.

[on her death bed] Your dad... He left us money... I've never touched it, I was...saving it for you boys... Use it, and take care of each other..

Edward

Don't be silly, we'll use it with you!

Edward...would you be a sweetheart and transmute something for your mother? Yes, I know...a ring of flowers would be nice. You see your father...always...used to make them for me... [dies]

Alphonse

[narrating] And that’s what we finally understood. The reason why Mom had always smiled at our alchemy... It had reminded her of Dad.

Edward

I don't wanna be chained to the State anymore than you. But I'll do whatever it takes to fix things.

Pinako

Fix you, or the world? Make sure you ask yourself that.

You're nothing but a bunch of chickens! Posing as alchemists when you're just a cowardly little pipsqueak and his walking trashcan!

Edward

[angrily] Pipsqueak?

Alphonse

[sadly] Trashcan?

Edward

Nobody calls me a pipsqueak and gets away with it! Not even a little girl!

Oh, is that so. [mockingly] Gosh, I'm so terrified of a whiny little pipsqueak!

Edward

SHUT UP AND TAKE A LOOK AT YOURSELF! IF YOU'RE A GIRL LIKE THEY ALL SAY, WHY DO YOU LOOK LIKE A PAPERBOY?!

This is impossible! Are you telling me that this wrinkled old woman is Karin? Karin was a woman of incomparable beauty...just like a rose.

Edward

Exactly like a rose. Flowers wither, Majahal...

You understand, kid. You've got an arm just like mine. You've wanted to be stronger, too. And the military... they'll just get rid of you as soon as you're not convenient.

Edward

No, I DON'T understand...And don't you ever lump in my reasons for this arm.... with YOURS! GRAHHHH!

Roy

Don’t take any lives. That’s all I asked you, Bald… And as it turns out, you did exactly as you were told.

So I take it you’re Mustang. HAAAAA!

Roy

I controlled myself. The damage to your skin isn’t nearly as bad as it feels. You can call me Roy Mustang, or just Lieutenant Colonel. Hell, you can call me the Flame Alchemist. Whatever you do, remember the pain.

Edward

So he’s Mustang…

Alphonse

Brother…!

Edward

Hey! You knew! That’s why you made us take this train! You put us at risk on purpose!

Roy

Come on, you think I have the whole world on strings? But… the General heard about your exploits, saving the train; he’s letting you take the State Alchemy exam.

Edward

But you always said we could take it! That’s the reason we came!

Roy

Come on, Ed, the State’s never let a kid take a military exam before. But, I guess lucks on your side, good thing you took that earlier train, huh? Whether you decide to take the test is still up to you, I’m not trying to run your life.

Edward

Of course I’ll take it! And pass! I would have done it anyway!

Alphonse

Those people had us playing right at the palms of their hands, didn’t they? I guess it doesn’t matter what we do. We’ll never be the ones in control.

Roy

So, boys, you’re really convinced you’re ready for this?

Edward

That’s right; just tell me what to wear to graduation…

Roy

Careful, Ed. I’d hate for you to get cocky, as you know, you find your own training, and I suggest him.

Edward

Sowinglife alchemist, huh?

Roy

Shou Tucker, practically wrote the book on bringing things to life…

Alphonse

[Voice over] That’s how it started; we spent the months, before the exam, living at the Tucker Estate.

Alphonse

[panicked] When you think of it like alchemy, making a life's expensive! You'd have to give something up!!

Edward

CHILDBIRTH IS NOT ALCHEMY, YOU DOPE!

AAAH! I CAN FEEL IT'S HEAD NOW!

Edward

AAH! SHE CAN FEEL IT'S HEAD?! WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?!

Alphonse

Deliver it!

Edward

I'M NOT TOUCHING BABY STUFF!!

Edward

Al, do you think we decided right? Chose the right path?

Alphonse

I don't know, brother. But I do know this: I don't want to be in this suit anymore. I want to feel things again. It's strange. We've been right beside each other all this time. But I can't remember what your skin feels like, or how you smell.

Edward

Damn it, what am I going to do? I didn’t think we’d have to prepare anything…

Alphonse

And what about the interview? They could look inside my armor and see I’m empty…

Edward

Hey, you could put Alexander in there and pretend you’re a talking dog...

Alphonse

I don’t think that’s very funny…
