Scar quotes from Fullmetal Alchemist

Scar

Really? You're better off. [thinking] Because if you were still a state alchemist... [lifts his sleeve] This arm would destroy you.

Scar

You're right, there is no need for you to prove that you exist, because very soon you won't.

Scar

Alphonse Elric. Earlier, I did sense something. Tears that cannot be seen...but felt. Those tears were...human.

Scar

We must stand together, my brethren. Any violence on our part is an open invitation for those military vermin to authorize destroying us, just like Ishbal. Lure them in, but do not resist. Ishbala's vengeance shall rain down upon them.

Scar

A man who inflicts suffering can not rest. His guilty mind won't allow it. But today I can finally close my eyes to the living nightmare and lay down knowing that I won't wake again...(Falls and activates the Transmutation Circle for the Philosopher's Stone)...Brother...(Dies)

The Sage's Stone, the Celestial Stone, the Great Elixir, the Red Teacher, the next element; did you really think a substance of so many names would be just limited to a stone?

Brig, Brigadier Grand.

Brigadier Basque? Well, you really wormed your way up.

You're damn right, Crystal Alchemist, and now you'll turn the Philosopher's Stone and all your research over to me.

Edward

The Philosopher's Stone? That thing?

An expiremental leap at best, a roulette at worst. You never know when it's going to reach its limit and backfire. an unstable defected product different from the true stone but during the rebellion, it did augment our abilities and make us tremendously powerful

Alphonse

You're saying the military not only searched for the stone, but in the past, has worked to develope it.

Edward

Nevermind that it isnt perfect. It was made by human hands and it works. That proves that the concept is possible the Philospher's Stone isn't a myth. Where are the design specs?

And what do you intend to do with it when you see it increase your metaling, Fullmetal? This research is top secret and falls under my jurisdiction. I can't permit you access to it. Let's go.

No! Let go of me! Please, I'm sorry I ran! Have mercy! You can't take me back. I can't go back to that place, it's too much i can't take it! The testing, the experiments, my hands are already stained please!

Edward

It's just like before (flash back to nina and tucker driving off in the military cars). Maybe I haven't grown an inch since then. But I can't let my heart stay stunted too.

Scar

Brigadier general Basque Grand iv been looking for you.

You're timings too bad just when I got my hand on this.

Get away.

Scar

Fullmetal Alchemist, Edward Elric. You won't escape either.

Edward

He knows my name too? What the heck's going on here? What have I done to make enemies? Okay, bad question but not bad enough to kill me over.

I heard you on my way in here. You say you're an agent of God. Well... then why don't you try passing judgment on me? That's Alex Louis Armstrong, the StrongArm Alchemist!

Scar

What a righteous day this is turning into! That you would come here and save me the tribulations of finding you! Blessed God, full of grace...

Don't pray just yet, you're facing the technique that's been passed down the Armstrong line for generations, that's hardly a blessing!

Scar

A unique combination of Alchemy and physical power... God help me

Roy

That's far enough!

Colonel Mustang, wait!

Scar

Colonel Mustang? Flame Alchemist, Roy Mustang?

Roy

The one and only.

But Sir!

Roy

I'm awfully sorry about your grievances, but no one hurts my men.

Scar

Yet another soul who departs from God's path. Death will be swift.

Roy

Brave enough to attack the Flame Alchemist. I'll make you a funeral pyre.

Colonel! Oh! Stubborn man! [trips him] Fire!

Roy

That's no way to get promoted, Hawkeye!

Relax, sir, I just saved your life. Your flame attack's no good in the rain.

She’s right, colonel: Wet gloves won’t make a spark.

Scar

I will give you a moment to pray.

Edward

Thanks for the gesture, but I don't believe. Stopped a long time ago.

Scar

I promise before God, I won't hurt your brother. But you should listen to him, Fullmetal. Your life for another is not a fair exchange. There is nothing in this world that can equal the loss of my brother and my people. Nothing will make it easier to bear!

Edward

Really? Then why are you murdering all these people?

Even in the darkest of suffering, a man can sleep. But for the man who inflicts the suffering, his mind cannot rest... ever.

Scar

Then from this day forth I'll never sleep again.

Scar

If you have come all this way to find me, then you must have some knowledge of what I am planning.

Edward

Yea, there is a rumor that you are trying to do something really stupid, like create the Philosopher's Stone.

Scar

You shouldn't interfere.

Now this is interesting.

Edward

There is something important that I have been meaning to ask you Scar. Four years ago there was a camera in Central--part human, part dog.

Scar

I returned their souls to Ishbala.

Edward

You killed a little girl.

Scar

Out of mercy. What else could you have done for her?

Edward

Those are not the kinds of decisions that we are allowed to make damnit.

Scar

Anything else you would like to say now?

Edward

With that kind of messed up logic, you probably think that it is okay to sacrifice Rose and her people too.

Scar

How is it that you know about Rose?

Edward

Does that make me a threat?

Scar

What is this?

Edward

You don't get what is going on? You're not much an alchemist, are you?

Scar

This arm does alchemy, not me.

Edward

Not true. Alchemy is understanding a composition, breaking it down, then remaking it as something else. You have been instinctive figuring out your enemy's design then adjusting that arm's alchemy to destroy them. But if you don't know what that substance is, you don't know how to break it down, so I've been transmuting my automail into other metals to keep you guessing.

Scar

Now I understand.

Edward

But I can't keep this up forever because these other metals have some different physical properties and it is screwing up the entire design; so I am going to have to make this quick. You idiot. What makes you think you can sacrifice an entire city for your cause? You have no right to play God with these innocent people like that.

Scar

Have you forgotten Edward? I can destroy human flesh as well.

Scar

Knowing what I do now, I understand why.

Edward

I talked to the Exile. He told me about the method. The Grand Arcanum circle takes an even greater human sacrifice.

Scar

It's true. An entire major city would have to be turned to an open grave or an entire race of people wiped from the face of the planet. all those souls displaced, angry, still crying in sorrow at their loss, are pulled into the array and form the Philosopher's Stone. In a cruel paradox, the Philosopher's Stone was the only way to save Ishbal, and yet it would take the entire genocide of its people to create it.

Edward

Your brother turned his body into a transmutation circle to make the Philosopher's Stone inside him. He was taking in the souls of all the Ishbalans dying in the war. And that is why your arm can deconstruct things.

Scar

That's correct, because it is part of the transmutation. It is looking for ingredients--souls for the stone.

Edward

And that is why it reacted with the stone fragments Marcoh made. It senses the lives inside and sucks them in.

Scar

But it hasn't been enough. In order to complete it, I still need more lives.

Edward

You think that gives you the right to use Rose as some charismatic puppet while you sacrifice her people for your stone?

Calm down. You have misunderstood his tactics. Scar isn't going to kill anyone from Lior.

Edward

Tell me Lyra, what the hell are you doing here anyway?

After Dante was murdered, I didn't know what else to do. I went searching for a place where I could do good with alchemy. Here, I learned about Scar and his plans for justice. You don't have to worry Ed. Right before the attack, the people of Lior will escape through a secret passage below the church. When the military invades, Scar will active the array.

Edward

Soldiers have lives just like us. I don't care what you think of the military, they are still...[Rose appears]

Scar

You have no idea what the soldiers have done to the people of Lior.

Edward

Like what? What did they do to Rose?

Scar

A group of them carried her to their base. Whatever they did to her there, it was traumatic enough that she couldn't speak when she returned. My sympathy will not be spent on soldiers, neither should yours.

Scar

Do not be deceived. They are only trying to invoke us into making the first attack. Stick to the plan at all costs, and we shall be victorious. (to Rose)Now I need you to lead the people through the escape route. I will stand behind it and extinguish the parasite that has been tormenting your city. (to Ed)You have an obligation to get them out of here safely.

Edward

Yea, yea, I know. Well I suppose we better get going then, huh?

Aren't you worried about Scar's plan?

Edward

If Mustang got my letter, the military won't step foot in here. Without his components, Scar won't be able to do a thing. He will never succeed Rose. The only thing left for you to do is get out of here while there is still time. It's over; Lior will fall. You can blame me if you want. I should have tried harder to find a way to stop their madness.

Scar

So it is you. The Crimson Alchemist.

Who the hell? Oh, now I remember. That scar is definitely my handiwork. I thought I got your arm.

Scar

I swore an oath not to kill another State Alchemist. But I'll make one last exception!

Damn. Now it makes sense. That is your brother's old arm, isn't it? How touching.

Scar

Don't bother using those stones. I'll just absorb their lives into my arm. And then I'll use them to create the Philosopher's Stone.
