Rose quotes from Fullmetal Alchemist

So, if you pray and polish the alter enough times, someone who’s dead will be brought back to life?

Rose

Something like that!

Water: 35 l. Carbon: 20 kg. Ammonia: 4 l. Lime: 1.5 kg. Phosphorus: 800 g. Salt: 250 g. Saltpeter: 100 g. Sulfur: 80 g. Fluorine 7.5 g. Iron 5 g. Silicon 3 g. and trace amounts of 15 other elements.

Rose

What’s that?

It’s all the ingredients of the average adult human body down to the last speck of protein in your eyelashes. And even though science has given us the entire physical breakdown, there’s never been a successful attempt at bring a human to life… There’s still something missing… Something scientists haven’t been able to find in centuries of research… So what makes you think that hack job priest with his parlor tricks is going to be able to? And in case you’re wondering… All those ingredients can be bought on a child’s allowance. Humans can be built on the cheap. There’s no magic to it.

Rose

WELL IF THERE’S NO MAGIC THEN YOU BRING SOMEONE BACK TO LIFE!

It’s just a matter of time Rose. Science will find a way. Science is the answer to everything. If I were you… I’d drop the scriptures… And pick up an alchemy book… We’re the closest thing to gods there are…

Rose

You’re not a god. You’re nothing close to it.

And neither is the sun. It’s just a mass of hydrogen. Get close to it, like Cornello claims… And all you’ll do is burn up…

Great, Ed. Put your total cynicism on someone else…

CCray

Don’t worry, Elric. Your brother will join you soon.

Rose

Cray! What are you doing?!

CCray

These two are enemies of God. This is His will Rose. Not mine. (Points the gun at Ed)

I don’t think so Mister.

(Grunts, and throws the helmet at Cray)

I got it! I got it!

Strike!

Rose

Ah! He doesn’t have a head!

Haha, yeah, that’s Al.

Please don’t be scared, Rose. This is how I am…

Rose

You’re not there!

It’s true. I don’t have a body. But I’m here. This is my punishment for setting foot on holy ground where mortals are forbidden. We made a mistake, Rose. And we’re paying for it.

Rose

Ahhh!

Rose, wait!

Rose

Cray’s was right! They are evil! What have I done? The made me doubt you, Cornello! Forgive me, please!

I can’t see a church social down here can you? Uh? There she is!

You’ve wrestled with the darkness and prevailed, Rose. Thank you for bringing them here. State Alchemist, brutal enforcers, I had a feeling one of you would show up some day!

Well let’s not chalk that up to pious premonitions, okay? You knew we’d come for the stone!

Err… You mean this young man?

Grr… I knew it, alchemy without a transmutation circle, completely ignoring the principle of Equivalent Exchange! It could only mean one thing…!

Yes the mythical gin, legendary amplifier, the philosopher’s stone…

That’s it Al, it’s ours… Cough it up Cornello! That stone belongs to me now! And if you hand it over peacefully we won’t tell the people here what you’ve been doing!

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

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

Maybe so, but most effective!

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)

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

Ha-ha… Now snap it!

(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?

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.)

LLust

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!

Brilliant deduction…!

Rose

Oh God...

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)

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!

Rose

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

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.

Brother was trying to help you, he just doesn't always handle things well.

Rose

Just go away, would you?

You can still believe, and hope, Rose. I still do.

Wrath

Give me the body I deserve! (Rose's baby cries) Stop it. Shut up. Shut that thing up. Shut up. Shut up.

Rose

Ed... Get up Ed. Get up. And move forward.

Keep going. The next city is not too much farther.

Rose

We have to go now.

Do the best you can. I have to go track down Scar and turn him in, wherever he is.

LLyra(Dante)

You are going to hand him over to the military?

It's the only way the people of Lior are clear of any blame. I have no choice.

Rose

Please don't do it. It is not right.

But you understand why I have to.

Rose

Equivalency, Right.

I don't know. Maybe there is something else I can do. I'm not sure what but maybe I can figure out how to use what happened with the Fuehrer's secretary and possible persuade the colonel to, I don't know maybe sit down and negotiate or something. Please, don't count on me to protect you, keep going before their troops figure out you're here. The farther you get from them now, the better.

LLyra(Dante)

Of course. We know the stakes of being caught. We'll disperse a handful of us in each town we pass, blending in with the population.

They're all counting on you now Lyra, and you.

Rose

I'll see you, Ed.

No, this time it's goodbye...

Rose

Don't do this.

That sound. What did he just do?

Envy

Gluttony. He used alchemy with the stone!

You petulant boy. Look at the damage you've inflicted upon yourself. Sit down before your wasted completely.

Stay back! You can't make me do anything.

And what do you think you can pull off?

Brother hasn't been dead for long. Look, there is still some color in his face. His soul is probably still at the gate. I just have to pull it back. The same way he did for me.

Don't be a fool. Do you know what would happen to you?

Yea, I do. A lot of people died to make this stone. And I would have died too, if not for them. It's time I gave my share, and made my own choice. Goodbye Rose. This is for you brother, I'll miss you.

Rose

Edward, can you hear me?

Yea, but what am I crying for? Al.

Rose

He use alchemy to bring you back after you died.

The Philosopher's Stone. He used it to fix my soul and pull my body from the gate. But then what happened to him? Don't tell me... Don't tell me he's gone, Rose. [gets up; frantic] Al! AL! AL!

View quote →

You should get moving. I hate to ask this, but could you take him too?

Rose

What about you?

I'll destroy this place down to the last plank, so no one gets the idea of creating a Philosopher's Stone this way again.

Rose

Very well. I'm sure that no matter what happens, you will find a way out. You have strong legs, you will get up and use them, won't you Edward?

If what my dad said about the gate is true, Al's old mind and body should still be there, and now his soul is there too. Maybe life has no equal trade. Maybe you can give up all you've got, and get nothing back. But still, even if I can't prove it's true, I still have to try, for your sake, Al.
