Roy, Bald and others in “Unfinished Business”

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.
