Hawkeye quotes from Fullmetal Alchemist

I'm sorry to interrupt you, Major, but let me offer a bit of feminine advice. BABIES AREN'T BORN AFTER JUST FIVE MONTHS!

Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. Here at Central Headquarters, there was a band of brave soldiers, all willing to make that sacrifice in the name of peace. This is a tale of love and courage. A tale of the Flame Alchemist, Colonel Mustang, and his loyal team.

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.

The classic: ‘Sewer Escape’…

Roy

Don’t follow him…!

Damn it, I was about to jump in!

(Walks up to Roy and Havoc) Nice mess! Is it over yet?

Roy

You know you could help while you’re here, Hughes.

Lay off, I’m as normal as they come and this is a contest of freaks. What do you want me to do, fire my slingshot at him?

Uh!

Roy

Lieutenant Hawkeye, take crowd control, I don’t want anyone getting close.

Yes, Sir.

Roy

You see? I came out fine as ever.

(Sighs) You know, maybe it’d do you some good to get your hand slapped every once in a while.

Roy

Don’t blame me, that guy’s a wall… I can’t figure him out… (Al’s scream is heard; Roy and Hawkeye look towards the break room)

Creation follows destruction! I’ll fix him up nice and pretty!

Alphonse

Uh! That’s OK!

Roy

Bonding a soul to steel is no walk in the park, Fullmetal’s the only one that can fix Al now, go ahead ask him.

Edward

That’s right, it’s my burden… But before I do anything I have to get my other arm back…

Well, that is an interesting fix, isn’t it? I mean, if the great Edward can’t use his alchemy…

He’s just a useless teen with a grumpy-ass-attitude.

Edward

Anyway… I’ll have to take some leave now… I'm going back to my mechanic. You know the one, don’t you?

Roy

Sure, Ed, how can I forget? I saw you at her house, unconscious, with that same stump of an arm you have now, bawling in your sleep, "It hurts! I'm going to pee my pants!" So tough.

So where you going to go once you’re fixed?

Edward

Central… I’ve got something to look up in the library there…

That’s a heck of a trip you’ll need some protection. I would volunteer but… Well, since the Führer going straight to Central and I’m part of his escort, I can’t go.

Roy

They just put me back in charge here; I’ve got to look after this place.

And I’ve got to look after the Colonel.

You could send me, but I don’t know how much help I’d be up against a fanatical alchemist serial killer.

(Ad-lib they agree with Havoc)

That settles it, send me! I’ll protect the boys on their journey for repairs and investigation!

Edward

We don’t need an escort!

Really, Ed, what do you plan to do if Scar shows up while you’re missing that arm?

Can’t fight; can’t exactly carry your hobbled brother to safety either.

Alphonse

(Nervous laugh)

Children should listen to adults!

Edward

Ah! You can’t call us children! Al, why don’t you stick up for us here!?!

Alphonse

That is the first time I've been treated like a kid since I became a suit of armor!! Thank you!

The train leaves soon Edward Elric… We’d better go pack our bags.

Alphonse

Uh… This is the first time I've been treated like luggage!

Edward

(Cramped by Armstrong) Spacious…

(Knocks and salutes Edward)

Newspaper? I’ve got tea, too!

(Motions for the kid to leave him alone) Hey, I've got a message from Roy.

Edward

You mean the Colonel?

He said, "Don't die under my command; you're enough of a pain without the paperwork." And that was it.

Edward

Tell him, "Fine, there's no way I'm dying before you do, you morally bankrupt Colonel with a God complex."… And tell him to take this gorilla escort here off my hands too.

Alright, easy. (Edward looks away) Look, Ed. I don’t know what Marcoh said to upset you, but I found some info you might find helpful. About three years ago we found the remains of a girl, who’d been turned into a chimera, I’m sure you remember.

Edward

Nina!

The way she was torn apart… Turns out it’s identical to the way Scar’s been killing people.

Edward

(Gasps) Thanks, Hughes. That does help; now I can take him on.

Be careful, Roy. You've got some enemies here, and in very high places. My advice to you is to make as many friends as you can around here, friends who will support you when the time comes. Which is why I make this crucial suggestion: You find yourself a wife!

Roy

Give it a rest!

Please, Colonel, don't take it out on the phone.

We’ll catch up, sir.

Roy

‘Killed in action’ and promoted two ranks for it. Brigadier General Hughes… You were the guy who was going to work below me, and push me to the top. Then you get yourself killed, and pass me in the ranks. I don’t know what’s more absurd: you or the state.

Are you ready?

Roy

You know, years ago, I had a theory on human transmutation, and after all we’ve seen I was actually trying to remember it now. We alchemists are such hopeless, predictable things. Why didn’t he tell me, Lieutenant? Ed and Al in danger, Lab 5… Maybe I could have done something to help!

Maybe because he knew you’d try, sir.

Roy

What’s that mean?

When those boys are in harm’s way, well, sometimes your decisions aren’t exactly rational. Maybe Brigadier General Hughes didn’t tell you because he wanted you to concentrate on your own goal instead of the Elrics’, so you could make it to the top, without anymore set backs.

Roy

It’s-it’s going to rain today.

Yes.

10,000 says he blows the date.

I say they don't even have one.

My money is on him chickening out before he even sees her!

You realize you're all bidding against him.

Safest bet!

Roy

Damn it! I still don't see why I have to tag along on their stupid midnight ghost hunt!

Because they admire you more than you realize.

Roy

What good is admiration from other men? They're soldiers. How are they supposed to deal with living breathing people when they're afraid of the dead. I didn't tell you to stop here, Lieutenant.

Oh Colonel Mustang, what a surprise.

Roy

I'm sorry for dropping by unannounced. I was just in the neighborhood so...

Nonsense. I appreciate you for taking the time. Elicia, you remember Roy Mustang, say hello.

Roy

Hiya kiddo, you've grown. (Elicia hides behind her mother)

I'm sorry. She's just a little shy, but please come in.

Roy

No, I'd better not. I have tons of paperwork. I'll be seeing you.

Roy

Like I was saying, it's always a lot scarier dealing with the living. Give me a ghost to talk to any day.

Something happen to you, boys?

Roy

They claim to have seen the fabled Warehouse 13. Idiots.

There's nothing idiotic about being aware, Colonel.

Especially when there's a bunch of ghosts out there.

Edward

Alright. Fess up. What in the hell are you guys doing out here following us?

The [?] has limits to the civilians.

We are here under orders. We are supposed to check on the security of old Ishbal region.

Edward

Then why didn't you come ask us about instead of hiding like a couple of spies?

Alphonse

My brother may not look it, but he is a state alchemist, and tough one.

Edward

What are these guys, moles?

Alphonse

I think I recognize those voices.

Hey

Edward

It's you guys? That means the colonel is here too.

It's okay, Al. You don't have to pretend to eat in front of us.

Alphonse

Oh. Okay. [puts back the bread he was about to give Marta, who is hidden in Al's armor]

[quietly] Okay, hag. You're dead!

Why Scar? What is your need to catch him?

Edward

He is a wanted man, isn't he? If we don't there will be trouble later.

Don't be silly Al. You don't have to go through the trouble pretending to eat.

Alphonse

Alright. Sorry.

Edward

What's that?

Pictures of our target city, from our new surveillance balloon.

Edward

I don't believe it. Is this right?

Alphonse

a Grand Arcanum Transmutation circle around the entire city. Who would do such a thing?

Edward

Scar.

Why would you say that?

You wouldn't happen to know the motives behind that Ed.

Edward

No. This city, what is it called?

It's Lior sir. Last year, the so-called prophet of the city stepped down. And the military was hoping that it could go in and restore the peace.

That do Fuery. He is familiar with its past.

Edward

I don't get it. An armed uprising in Lior?

Alphonse

That doesn't make any sense. They were committed to peace after we exposed Cornello.

Not for long. The priest came back and Lior was divided between those that supported him and those that opposed him. The only thing you really accomplished was stirring up the debate. Now both sides are against us.

Edward

Why didn't anyone tell me all this? as far as I knew, we helped.

I got the report from Hues, and I made the decision not to tell you.

Edward

Why?!

Because it was too big for you.

Alphonse

[knock] It's me.

He arrived this morning from Lior with a message addressed to me.

Alphonse

Is it from my brother? Is he okay?

Yes. And according to Edward's letter, Scar has turned the whole city into a transmutation circle. He is warning us to stay out of Lior, no matter what happens.

Alphonse

Sounds like Scar is planning to use the soldiers as components for the Philosopher's Stone.

What did you say?

Alphonse

In order to create the Philosopher's Stone, you have to sacrifice human lives. In Scar's method, thousands of lives.

No way.

So, that's what they were actually using the Laboratory 5 for.

I can't believe this depravity has been going on under our noses.

Al, I want you to head for Lior. Once your there, you can meet up with Ed.

Alphonse

Okay, But..

If I can get Bradley to hold off, Lior will most likely surrender. That way we can arrest Scar before any conflict begins.

Alphonse

Alright.

Al, wait. This belongs to Ed. Make sure you get it back to him, alright?

I haven't heard anything form Kimblee yet, or your camera's for that matter.

They are under the Fuehrer's command, I don't know why their would be a problem.

Well obviously there is. If there is not a problem, then why aren't they back yet? How long does it take to find a kid's corpse? Have Scar and Kimblee killed each other in battle, or is the Crimson Alchemist out just having too much fun? There is no time for this.

So this is you little command center, huh? Cozy.

I would have known you were coming, I would have cleaned up.

You, hands up. What is that thing?

There is no need to be cruel.

Lieutenant! Clam down. He is no threat.

No, just a pity. His name is Shou Tucker, called the Sewing-Life Alchemsit, back when he was a huamn.

Hello, Major. I take it you had a sudden change of heart and won't be helping me now.

I've never been on your side Archer. I've only been playing the part. I had to get to the bottom of the corruption plaguing our military. Sometimes you have to play with vermin to sniff out a rat.

You're naive if you think you think you can have a useful military without a little corruption. Tucker!

What are you hoping to accomplish with this circus act?

A decade ago, you annihilated Ishbal, and came back a hero of the state. No I have Lior. It is my turn for fame.

My god. Is everyone alright?

Somehow

Had Colonel Archer's battalion moved yet?

Well, they did,=. But it is the strangest thing.

All of a sudden Lior started glowing bright red.

Yea, and they've been out of contact ever since.
