Hawkeye and Roy in “Unfinished Business”

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.
