Lust quotes from Fullmetal Alchemist

It's a pleasure to meet you, or should I make that goodbye, Lieutenant Colonel.

The thought keeps rising like a bubble to the top of my mind. Where did I come from? Where will I go?

Let me introduce you to one of my creations, you of all people will be able to appreciate this...a chimera!

Edward

You combined animals, the most depraved kind of alchemy there is.

Maybe so, but most effective!

Edward

Alright big fella want to play? Let’s go for it!

H-how how did you do that without a transmutation circle!?! Uggh! Bring me his head my pet! (Throws the bird off his shoulder and transmutes it into a giant bird)

Edward

(Points his sword at the bird) Hmm… Uh… (The bird breaks the spear and grabs Ed’s leg) Ah!

Ha-ha… Now snap it!

Edward

(Looks at the bird apparently fine) Wrong leg, pal…. (Bird’s talons break) And here’s the right arm! (Punches the bird across the room, Ed smirks, and looks to his side, at the chimera jumps on him) AHHH!

(Smirks, then frowns.) Heh! Huh?

Edward

What’s the matter, you poor bastard? Can’t get a good taste? (Lifts the chimera up with his arm, and flings him to the side.)

Mouthwatering, eh, Gluttony? (Gluttony laughs)

That’s impossible… Those claws on your leg… The teeth on your arm! No one could survive that… Unless… Uh! Your limbs! They’re fake!

Edward

Brilliant deduction…!

Rose

Oh God...

Edward

Don't look away, Rose! You need to see what happens when you try to bring a human to life, when you cross into God's territory or whatever the hell it is! Is this what you want?! Look!

Rose

His arm...his leg, they're machines!

I see… Now I understand you Elric. You crossed the line. You did what is strictly forbidden, you tried to create human life and your bodies were taken to the other side!

Rose

(Softly gasps)

Edward

Told you Rose, get to close to the Sun, and you burn…

Apparently so, but you were crazy enough to find out for yourself! You are the Fullmetal! The Fullmetal Alchemist!

Look at them all. Humans are foolish beyond salvation.

Foolish! Foolish!

Envy

The town of Liore has been handled tightly, just a harmless, bottomless sand now, there is no one left to do anything useful.

Beautiful work, Envy, we’re glad to have you back in our midst; things are going well here, too.

Envy

But what about this runt, Fullmetal? I heard he’s gotten wind of the lab. Don’t you think we should take care of him, Lust? Before he tells the military our secret!

I’ll kill them! Let me! Let me, please!

Be patient. I’ve watched them for a long time, and I still think they can grant our wish, we can always kill them after that.

Envy

I don’t care what you do with them, Lust, as long as they don’t mess up our, ‘precious plans’. Although, I do think it’s unlikely that they’ll get past those ‘funhouse’ guards no one ever does.

I gave them direct orders not to lay a hand on the boys, but that ensures nothing. They are idiots after all.

Envy

If it starts looking like too much trouble we’ll have to kill them all.

I know that.

HEHEHE!

Edward

Damn it! This is smaller than I thought! See, if I was normal-sized, I wouldn't have fit, and we would have had to call this off. It really is a good thing I'm so small. AAAUGHH! NO IT'S NOT! ARRGHHH!

Edward

Lights are still on… How do they explain that when they say they don’t use this place anymore… Just running up the bill for fun? Ah!!! What the hell was that?! Ah! AH! He-he… For them to go to all this trouble they must have something they really don’t want to be seen… I’m getting excited… I just love being right… Eh? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!

Ha-ha… HAHAHAHA! At last!

Where are you going...? We’re under orders... Not to lay a hand on them.

Orders? I don’t care about orders. This one’s all for me! I’m going to drain out their marrows!

But there are two in our quarry and two of us… You can’t monopolize the pleasure…

Edward

AH! You know for a lifeless, fallen rock, it sure is persistent! Gah! No… See? And all this time I thought being normal size would be a good thing… DAMMIT! Enough is enough!!!

Now all we need is for Envy to gather the ingredients. This is the moment I've been waiting for.

Lust!

What is it?

It's him, Lust. It's him!

Him? No, it can't be. Not Greed. We have to hurry, before our plan is interrupted.

Edward

Are you saying that me coming here was part of your plan all along? Al and I started this journey three years ago for our own reasons, of our own free will! And we went through hell to get here.

You're here because that is what we wanted.

Edward

Al and I are nobody's puppets! Not the State's, and definitely not yours!

It's an equivalent exchange... I'm going to tell you everything you need to know to make a Philosopher's Stone. And in return, you are going to to use it to turn all of us into humans.

Edward

And why the hell should I trust you guys?

Oh, but you misunderstand me, Fullmetal. We're not asking... We're telling. Do you know what happens to an attached soul... when you do this? [begins to scratch the Older Slicer's blood seal]

Edward

Stop it! You can't do that! He's still a human being!

Edward Elric, I want you to... [Lust destroys his blood seal]

[knocks Al's helmet off and touches his blood seal] This won't take long.

Edward

No! Please don't hurt him! He's my little brother! Please don't take him away! I'm begging you!

Edward

[uses alchemy to fix the ceiling]

Envy

[whistles, impressed]

To get something, you evidently have to take it away from somebody else. In order to achieve anything in life, you inevitably have to take it from someone else... That is what any honest adult knows

But we're not adults!

When Edward decided to join up with the State Alchemists...He gave up all claims to childhood in exchange for power...So don't start behaving like a child now... Because you can't have it both ways.

Envy

Funny. I hear Greed bit the big one.

Indeed. And in a sense, his death suited him almost perfectly. Violent and so intense, it bordered on the beautiful.

Envy

Ed can murder us all he want. "You know who" will just replace us. Speaking of, Sloth is taking care of the new Wrath as we speak. Just think of the possibilities it will present. Something wrong? Don't let this get to you, Greed was weak so he died, end of story.

Have you ever wondered where we came from… or where we go after we're dead?

Envy

You’re a mess.

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.

Alphonse

What's going on? I feel strange. My body...

Scar

You bastard!

My work is so intricate. Only an explosives expert like myself can diffuse it. But you are going to have to find someone else, because I'm about to retire. No need to hurry, you still have plenty of time left. I've mad his armor react slowly whit the oxygen in the air, gradually spreading, until he is completely black. I want him to have time to reflect and think about how meaningless his efforts have been.

Alphonse

No! It has to be a lie. My body! I'm scared.

Scar

Stay still Alphonse Elric. I'm not sure what it happening, but we don't want to make it any worse. Just try not to exert yourself.

I wouldn't touch him if I were you, scared man.

Scar

Homunculus

Alphonse

Just leave us alone.

That arm is only good for destroying things, not remaking them. Now if Edward were here, he could transmute his brother's body into some other substance, disrupting Kimblee's alchemy, stopping this bond.

Scar

You think that would work, altering his composition?

Leave him. He is a lost cause. You have to think of yourself now, your own goal of forging the stone.

Scar

Just as I thought. You aren't my brother's love. The woman I knew would never have acted so heartless and cold.

I'm sorry I don't live up to your memories.

Scar

I never expected you too. I told you, you are not eh same person my brother tried to resurrect. You just look like her.

But if I use the Philosopher's Stone to become human, I'll become her.

Scar

No you won't

How do you know?

Scar

Because the dead can never come back to life.

What are you going to do to him? Tell me!

Scar

Stay back. Now just shut your mouth and watch.

Now what have you done?

Scar

That arm was given to me by my brother. He trapped all the souls of the dying Ishbalans inside of it by turning his own body into a transmutation circle.

He did that for good reason, to create the Philosopher's Stone within himself. A gift that he passed on to you. So that means...

Scar

I've attached to locket to his armor, so you can't get anywhere near him. You may only stand back and watch.

Have you lost your mind? Are you really going to turn this boy into the Philosopher's Stone?

Scar

Better that than a bomb. You said if we changed his body into something else, he wouldn't explode. It was the only way I could help.

And what about the actual stone? Don't tell me you are going to hand it over to those boys when you're done.

Scar

I don't even know that this will work. But if by some miracle it does, the stone will be theirs. They can do with it want they want.

I'm afraid I can't let you do that. I need you to make the real Philosopher's Stone, understand? Don't waste all of your work, all the work of your brother to save that boy. How is that going to fulfill your dreams?

Scar

If you kill me where i stand right now, will that make your dream come true?

Have it your way. and if there does come a time when the stone is made, I'll find a way to use it myself. Whatever happens to that poor boy now is not my responsibility.

Alphonse

Brother, please do something.

You loved me, didn't you?

Scar

No, not you, but her. I hated my brother so much. He turned his back on the teachings of Ishbala and immersed himself in the sac-religion of alchemy. Even though he gave me his arm to save my life, there was no room left in my hate filled heart for forgiveness. But the Elric brothers, they live only for each other.

That's true.

Scar

Seeing love for each other. They made me long to say those word myself: Brother, I love you.

So that's why you did the same thing for his younger brother, as your brother did for you.

Scar

Come on, lets go. This life of wickedness has one closing act.

Tell me, what is your real name.

Scar

This body did have a holy name given by God. But that person died long ago from sin, malice, and retribution.

Then goodbye, Scar.

Edward

Hello! Al?

Alphonse

Brother? No! brother, you have to get away from me, I'm about to explode at any minute! (silence)

Edward

Okay? I don't get it. What are you doing out here?

Alphonse

I'm back to normal? My body is normal again! I mean not normal normal, but normal!

Edward

Alright? I don't know what you're talking about, but...

Alphonse

Oh right. Well Kimblee made me into a bomb; then Lust said if they change my armor into something else, I could be saved; so Scar put his hand on me and it was like his arm was me; and uhhh...

Edward

Listen. Open up your chest plate. Just do it Al.

Alphonse

Brother, What is it?

Edward

Well Al, a minute ago the transmutation circle in Lior was activated. Scar, he created a Philosopher's Stone, but he didn't do it inside his own body.

Yes, That's right boy. Now the very thing you have been searching for has been attached to your soul.

Alphonse

You mean, I am the Philosopher's Stone?

Edward

That doesn't make any sense. Why would Scar do that?

You should go. it would be long before they're after you-- my colleagues and the state.

Edward

What about you. I thought you were after the stone too.

Alphonse

Brother, I'm...

Edward

That's right.

Dante, I want you to stop using my sons as pawns for your malicious games. In exchange for that promise, I'll tell you why your new body is rotting too.

Heh, perhaps but it's been centuries since our last meeting, Hohenheim. We'll have plenty of time to talk later. Right now, why don't you help me enjoy this new body? [licks her arm]

Sorry, But I have a wife.

So? I was married as well wasn't I? Again, and again, and again, and again. After all, if I stayed with one of them, he'd have noticed my slowly aging body and our secret would be out.

Thats where we're different. Trisha was my first and my last. The only woman I ever really loved.

How odd. 400 years ago, when we first met, back when I was still an innocent...you whispered words of love to me. Or do my memories deceive me?

No, they don't.

On that day, 400 years ago... [goes to flashback, which Dante is narrating] ...we had finally achieved our goal. By using the lives those sentenced to hang during the witch hunts, and those who were dying of the plague. By repeating our experiments relentlessly, despite countless failures. We finally grasped it, the Philosopher's Stone. But the demands of the transmutation took its toll on you. You were dying. Out of sheer impulse, I attached your soul to the body of another man. And it was then, that we discovered eternal life. [end flashback]

So by using the Philosopler's Stone, you transplanted your souls again and again?

Yes, thats right.

Why did you have us find someone to make the stone if you already had one?!

After Hohenheim of Light left my side, I needed a new stone. And I didn't know how to make one on my own. That's why. [to Hohenheim] Tell me, why did you leave? Wasn't eternal life enough for you?

Dante, there is no such thing as eternal life.
