Exodus Poem

The sound of air.
The sound of water.
The sound of sand.
The sound of particles flowing above me.
The sound of blood running through me.
Little things gradually begin to connect.
Large things, growing ever larger, begin to crumble.
Becomes smaller. Disappears. Appears. Disappears.
No one is present; no one is present inside my heart.
Quiet and vast.
There stands a giant tree.
Quiet and vast, between the sky and grassy plain it stands.
Why is it that we try and show ourselves in a positive light?
Why is that we try so hard everyday to have others like us?
Why is that, when people finally like us, we want to be alone?
I want to be spoiled by someone.
I want to be drawn to something soft.
I want to reveal a secret to someone.
I want people to see my true self.
Or do I not want them to see?
I want people to see, but I am afraid of being seen.
Which is why I am sad.
That is what I think.

-Utada Hikaru, 2006

Well, if you've come here, that means two things. 1. You're crazy, and 2. You want to know me better. I think I can manage. I'd tell you my name, but I don't want to. Nothing against any of you, I just don't like my name. For the moment, I'm Rain, or if you prefer another, Lan. I'm a senior in high school, I'm 18, and I'm a single guy (or at least for the moment, but even that may not change.). I'm normally pretty nervous when I first meet someone, but after that first time, if I like you, I want to get to know you more.

I started writing poetry seriously about a year ago. Being bi can introduce you to a lot of new things, and discrimination, hate, and pain (emotionally) become second nature to you. I don't think I have gotten over it just yet. I don't think I ever will. Of course, if you have good enough friends (which I do and I love them all for it) you find that you can't focus on the bad for too long. So now, I write whenever insperation comes to me.

Let's see... I am extremely weird, mainly because I love to be the odd person out. It makes me feel better for some very odd reason. I love discussing video games, books, TV shows, anything that I can get my hands on, normally, especially anime. Hell, when I get the chance, I'm going out to buy some yaoi anime. *Drool* The hotties of yaoi anime... anyone who hasn't seen it needs to!

Now, if anyone wants to know, let me go ahead and get this straight, I am agnostic. I don't honestly know if there is or is not a God, but whatever the case I live as best I can. If you have a problem with that, oh well. I believe that true love is true love, no matter who it be with. I realize that the Bible says otherwise and I am aware of that. If I can love someone to the fullest extent, though, why should it matter what gender they are?

So if you want to talk to me, then go ahead. Email or IM me and ask away, I'll be more than happy to talk for a bit.
************
This is for everyone to read, even though it is somewhat of a fantasy-type of world (or at least to me it is), but it is a slight better than what we live in today, don't you think?

When I run away from you...
- Chase me

When I pout my lips...
- Kiss me

When I kick and punch...
- Hold me tight

When I call you a loser...
- Just know that you're my loser

When I am silent...
- I'm thinking of how to say I love you

When I ignore you...
- I want all your attention

When I pull away...
- Grab me by the waist and never let go

When you see me at my worst...
- Tell me I'm beautiful

When I scream at you...
- Tell me you love me and mean it

When you see me walking...
-Sneak up behind me, grab me, and give me a kiss

If I don't call you...
- I'm wanting you to call me

When I'm scared...
-Hold me and tell me everything's okay, 'cause I'm with you

When I look like something's the matter...
- Kiss me and tell me not to worry

While I hold your hands...
- Play with my fingers

This is just something I picked up from a friend on AP.


*A girl and guy were speeding, on a motorcycle, over 90 mph on the road.*
Girl: Slow down. I’m scared.
Guy: No, this is fun.
Girl: No, it’s not. Please, it’s too scary!
Guy: Then tell me you love me.
Girl: Fine, I love you. Slow down!
Guy: Now give me a BIG hug.
*Girl hugs him*
Guy: Can you take my helmet off & put it on yourself? It’s bugging me.
(In the paper the next day)
A motorcycle crashed into a building because of break failure. Two people were on it, but only one survived. The truth was that halfway down the road, the guy realized that his breaks broke, but he didn’t want to let the girl know. Instead, he had her say she loved him & felt her hug one last time, then had her wear his helmet so that she would live even though it meant that he would die.
If you would ever do this for someone....then post this on your page asap!!

AP Mom/s- Broken by Trust
My mom is one in a million. She cares for so many people before herself, it's unreal. She is a great listener and can give equally great advice if you listen close enough. Make sure to visit her at least once, because otherwise you're missing out.

AP Cousin/s-

AP Summoner- Saraia/Loxileh
Even if all bonds are cut, I find myself going right back for reasons I don't know. I guess that in some time or another, I was something of a Guardian. And even if she doesn't see it that way, I can only think of how to protect her from the world. So to you, dear Summoner, you have my sword, and by blood or not, I shall protect you. She is an amazing poet, too, so if you get the chance look through a few.

AP Brother-in-Arms- Maglama
Well, there's a lot that I want to say, and then again, there's nothing at all. There are times that he is my brother, and there are times he's my enemy, but he is always close at hand and willing to talk. I trust him with everything, and I mean everything. He is the person I would have at the end of time, fighting 'till the darkness fell. He is my brother-in-arms. Take a visit if you think you can survive it.

Religious Doubt (...I have a few and it's growing!)

Faith is life in the sense that breathing is life. Without breath one can live for a short while and without faith one can only live for a short while. Religion, however, seems to be to faith as an iron lung is to breath. It forces the action rather than encouraging it. However, the action is not only forced by the iron lung of religion, it is limited to only working in that manner. It is for this reason that I have faith and not religion. - Maglama

For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring. - Carl Sagan

If you want to get together in any exclusive situation and have people love you, fine - but to hang all this desperate sociology on the idea of The Cloud-Guy who has The Big Book, who knows if you've been bad or good - and CARES about any of it - to hang it all on that, folks, is the chimpanzee part of the brain working. - Frank Zappa

I cannot be angry at God, in whom I do not believe. - Simone de Beauvoir

To YOU I'm an atheist; to God, I'm the Loyal Opposition. - Woody Allen

Religion is a by-product of fear. For much of human history, it may have been a necessary evil, but why was it more evil than necessary? Isn't killing people in the name of God a pretty good definition of insanity? - Arthur C. Clarke

A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death. - Albert Einstein

Religion is fundamentally opposed to everything I hold in veneration - courage, clear thinking, honesty, fairness, and, above all, love of the truth." - H.L. Mencken

A lie is a lie
even if everyone believes it
The truth is the truth
even if no one believes it. - Anonymous

It's an incredible con job when you think about it, to believe something now in exchange for something after death. Even corporations with their reward systems don't try to make it posthumous. - Gloria Steinem

That the world is in a bad shape is undeniable, but there is not the faintest reason in history to suppose that Christianity offers a way out. - Bertrand Russel

Suppose we've chosen the wrong god.
Every time we go to church we're just making him madder and madder. - Homer Simpson

I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God
who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use. - Galileo Galilei

I count religion but a childish toy, and hold there is no sin but ignorance. - Christopher Marlowe

Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined and imprisoned; yet we have not advanced one inch towards uniformity.

-Thomas Jefferson, Notes on Virginia, 1782

But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

-Thomas Jefferson, Notes on Virginia, 1782

Question with boldness even the existence of a god; because if there be one he must approve of the homage of reason more than that of blindfolded fear.

-Thomas Jefferson, Letter to Peter Carr, August 10, 1787

I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever in religion, in philosophy, in politics, or in anything else where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent.

-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Francis Hopkinson, March 13, 1789

History, I believe, furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government. This marks the lowest grade of ignorance of which their civil as well as religious leaders will always avail themselves for their own purposes.

-Thomas Jefferson to Alexander von Humboldt, Dec. 6, 1813.

The whole history of these books [the Gospels] is so defective and doubtful that it seems vain to attempt minute enquiry into it: and such tricks have been played with their text, and with the texts of other books relating to them, that we have a right, from that cause, to entertain much doubt what parts of them are genuine. In the New Testament there is internal evidence that parts of it have proceeded from an extraordinary man; and that other parts are of the fabric of very inferior minds. It is as easy to separate those parts, as to pick out diamonds from dunghills.

-Thomas Jefferson, letter to John Adams, January 24, 1814

Christianity neither is, nor ever was a part of the common law.

-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Dr. Thomas Cooper, February 10, 1814

If we did a good act merely from love of God and a belief that it is pleasing to Him, whence arises the morality of the Atheist? ...Their virtue, then, must have had some other foundation than the love of God.

-Thomas Jefferson, Letter to Thomas Law, June 13, 1814

You say you are a Calvinist. I am not. I am of a sect by myself, as far as I know.

-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Ezra Stiles Ely, June 25, 1819

Among the sayings and discourses imputed to him [Jesus] by his biographers, I find many passages of fine imagination, correct morality, and of the most lovely benevolence; and others again of so much ignorance, so much absurdity, so much untruth, charlatanism, and imposture, as to pronounce it impossible that such contradictions should have proceeded from the same being.

-Thomas Jefferson, letter to William Short, April 13, 1820

To talk of immaterial existences is to talk of nothings. To say that the human soul, angels, god, are immaterial, is to say they are nothings, or that there is no god, no angels, no soul. I cannot reason otherwise: but I believe I am supported in my creed of materialism by Locke, Tracy, and Stewart. At what age of the Christian church this heresy of immaterialism, this masked atheism, crept in, I do not know. But heresy it certainly is.

-Thomas Jefferson, letter to John Adams, Aug. 15, 1820

Man once surrendering his reason, has no remaining guard against absurdities the most monstrous, and like a ship without rudder, is the sport of every wind.

-Thomas Jefferson to James Smith, 1822.

And the day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the supreme being as his father in the womb of a virgin will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerve in the brain of Jupiter. But may we hope that the dawn of reason and freedom of thought in these United States will do away with this artificial scaffolding, and restore to us the primitive and genuine doctrines of this most venerated reformer of human errors.

-Thomas Jefferson, Letter to John Adams, April 11, 1823

It is between fifty and sixty years since I read it [the Apocalypse], and I then considered it merely the ravings of a maniac, no more worthy nor capable of explanation than the incoherences of our own nightly dreams.

-Thomas Jefferson, letter to General Alexander Smyth, Jan. 17, 1825

All eyes are opened, or opening, to the rights of man. The general spread of the light of science has already laid open to every view the palpable truth, that the mass of mankind has not been born with saddles on their backs, nor a favored few booted and spurred, ready to ride them legitimately, by the grace of God.

-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Roger C. Weightman, June 24, 1826 (in the last letter he penned)

My Avatar: The Last Airbender Quotes because it is such an awesome anime! (Even if it's made in America!!!)

Chapter 1, Book 1: The Boy In the Iceberg

Aang: [Appa sneezes all over Sokka, who starts trying to wipe it off] Don't worry, it'll wash out.
Sokka: What is that thing?
Aang: This is Appa, my flying bison.
Sokka: Right, and this is Katara, my flying sister.
------

Aang: I'm Aa...aa...aa...choo! [shoots up into the air, then slides down a nearby slope] I'm Aang
Sokka: You just sneezed. And flew ten feet in the air!
Aang: Really? It felt higher than that...
Katara: [gasping] You're an Airbender!
Aang: Sure am.
Sokka: Giant light beams...flying bison...Airbenders...I think I’ve got Midnight Sun Madness. I’m going home to where stuff makes sense.
------

Sokka: Ugh! Why is it that every time you play with magic water, I get soaked?
Kataraexasperated sigh) It’s not magic. It’s waterbending, and it’s—
Sokka: Yeah, yeah, an ancient art, unique to our culture, blah blah blah. Look, I’m just saying that if I had weird powers, I’d keep my weirdness to myself.
Katara: You’re calling me weird? I’m not the one who makes muscles at myself every time I see my reflection in the water.
------

Katara: So it’s my fault?
Sokka: I knew I should have left you home. Leave it to a girl to screw things up.
Katara: You are the most sexist, immature, nut brained... [the iceberg behind Katara begins to crack] ugh, I’m embarrassed to be related to you! Ever since Mom died I’ve been doing all the work around camp while you’ve been off playing soldier!
Sokka: Uh...Katara?
Katara: I even wash all the clothes! Have you ever smelled your dirty socks? Let me tell you, NOT PLEASANT!
Sokka: Katara! Settle down!
Katara: No, that’s it. I’m done helping you. From now on, you’re on your own!
(The iceberg behind Katara breaks apart completely)
------

Aang: [sounding weak] I...need to ask you something...
Katara: What?
Aang: [still weak] Come... closer
Katara:[leans in, sounding worried] What is it?
Aang:[Looking more excited] Will you go penguin sledding with me?
Katara: Uh...sure.
------

Aang: Appa's just tired. Just wait, and he'll be soaring through the sky!
[Katara turns to get something and catches Aang smiling at her.]
Katara: Why are you smiling at me like that?
Aang: Oh, I was smiling?
[Sokka groans in disgust]
------

Chapter 2, Book 1: The Avatar Returns

Zuko: I've spent years preparing for this encounter. Training, meditating...you're just a child!
Aang: : Well, you're just a teenager.
------

Sokka: I'm just a guy, with a boomerang...I didn't ask for all this flying...and magic...
------

Sokka: [unenthusiastically] Go. Fly. Soar.
Katara: Appa, please we need your help, Aang needs your help.
'Sokka: [still unenthusiastically] Up. Ascend. Elevate.
Katara: Sokka doesn't believe you can fly. But I do Appa come on don't you want to save Aang?
Sokka: What was it that kid said? Yeeha? Wahoo? Hup-hup? Uh, yip-yip? [Appa flaps his tail, and launches into the air]'
Katara: You did it Sokka!
Sokka: He's flying! He's flying! Katara, he's... (Katara has a smug look on her face) I mean... big deal. He's flying.
------

Chapter 3, Book 1: Southern Air Temple

Zhao: Once I'm out to sea, my guards will escort you back to your ship and you'll be free to go.
Zuko: Why? Are you worried I'm going to try and stop you?
Zhao: (laughing) You? Stop me? Impossible.
Zuko: Don't underestimate me, Zhao. I will capture the Avatar before you.
Iroh: Prince Zuko, that's enough!
Zhao: You can't compete with me. I have hundreds of warships under my command, and you... you're just a banished prince. No home. No allies. Your own father doesn't even want you.
Zuko: You're wrong. Once I deliver the Avatar to my father he will welcome me home with honor and restore my rightful place on the throne.
Zhao: If your father really wanted you home, he'd have let you return by now, Avatar or no Avatar, but in his eyes you are a failure and a disgrace to the Fire Nation.
Zuko: That's not true.
Zhao: You have the scar to prove it.
Zuko: (cries out in anger) Maybe you'd like one to match!
Zhao: Is that a challenge?
Zuko: An agni kai. At sunset.
Zhao: Very well. It's a shame your father won't be here to watch me humiliate you. I guess your uncle will do.
Iroh: Prince Zuko, have you forgotten what happened last time you dueled a master?
Zuko: I will never forget.
------

Iroh: So this is how the great Commander Zhao acts in defeat. Disgraceful. Even in exile my nephew is more honorable than you. Thanks again for the tea. It was delicious.
Zuko: Did you really mean that, Uncle?
Iroh: Of course. I told you ginseng tea is my favorite.
------

Katara: Aang, I know you're upset...and I know how hard it is to lose the people you love. I went through the same thing when I lost my mom. Monk Gyatso and the other airbenders may be gone, but you still have a family. Sokka and I, we're your family now.
Sokka: Katara and I aren't going to let anything happen to you. Promise.
------

Chapter 4, Book 1: The Warriors of Kyoshi

Zuko: (Zuko studies a map detailing reported Avatar sightings scattered around) How am I going to find the Avatar, Uncle? He is clearly a master of evasive maneuvering.
Cut to Sokka, looking at the same map
Sokka: (to Aang) You have no idea where you're going, do you?
------

Sokka: (to Aang, about Katara) Stop bugging her, airhead. You need to give girls space when they do their sewing.
Katara: What does me being a girl have to do with sewing?
Sokka: Simple; girls are better at fixing pants than guys, and guys are better at hunting and fighting and stuff like that. It's just the natural order of things.
Katara: (with exaggerated happiness) All done with your pants! And look what a great job I did!
Katara throws Sokka's pants at him
Sokka: Wait! I was just kidding! I can't wear these! (He sticks his arm through a big hole) Katara, please!
Aang: Relax, Sokka. Where we're going, you won't need any pants!
------

Sokka: Who are you? Where are the men who ambushed us?
Suki: There were no men. We ambushed you. Now tell us, who are you and what are you doing here?
Sokka: (in laughing disbelief) Wait a second, there's no way that a bunch of girls took us down.
Suki: A bunch of girls, huh? The unagi's gonna eat well tonight.
Katara: No, don't hurt him! He didn't mean it. My brother is just an idiot sometimes.
------

Katara: He's just upset because a bunch of girls kicked his butt yesterday.
Sokka: They snuck up on me!
Katara: Right. And then they kicked your butt.
------

Sokka: (to the female warriors) Sorry ladies! Didn't mean to interrupt your dance lesson. I was just looking for somewhere to get a little workout?
Suki: Well, you're in the right place. Sorry about yesterday. I didn't know you were friends with the Avatar.
Sokka: It's all right. I mean, normally I'd hold a grudge, but seeing as you guys are a bunch of girls, I'll make an exception.
Suki: (sarcastically) I should hope so. A big strong man like you? We wouldn't stand a chance.
Sokka: True. But don't feel bad. After all, I'm the best warrior in my village.
Suki: Wow! Best warrior, huh? In your whole village? Maybe you'd be kind enough to give us a little demonstration.
Sokka: Oh...well...I mean...I...
Suki: (to the other warriors) Come on, girls! Wouldn't you like him to show us some moves?
------

Sokka:I didn't know that your uniforms have such deep meanings.
Aang passes by and pops his head at the door
Aang: (To Sokka) Nice dress Sokka! (walks away)
Sokka blushes and Suki giggles
------

Katara: 'Simple monk,' huh? I thought you promised me that this Avatar stuff wouldn't go to your head.
Aang: It didn't. You know what I think? You just don't want to come because you're jealous.
Katara: Jealous? Of what?
Aang: Jealous that we're having so much fun without you.
Katara: That's ridiculous.
Aang: It is a little ridiculous, but I understand.
------

Chapter 5, Book 1: The King of Omashu

Soldier: State your business.
Aang: My business is MY BUSINESS, young man, and none of yours! I've got half a mind to bend you over my knee and paddle your backside.
------

Aang: Name’s Bonzu Pipinpadaloxicopolis ... the Third, and these are my grandkids.
Katara: Hi, June Pipinpadaloxicopolis. Nice to meet you.
------

Sokka: Eh, how was Appa supposed to save us anyway?
Aang: Appa is a 10-ton flying bison. I'm sure he would figure something out.
------

Katara: You can't keep us here. Let us leave!
Bumi: Lettuce leaf?
Bumi takes a bite out of a lettuce leaf
------

King Bumi: So, tell me, young, bald one. Where are you from?
Aang: I’m from...Kangaroo Island.
King Bumi: Oh, Kangaroo Island, eh? I hear that place is really hoppin'! (cough from background)
Sokka laughs, but Aang and Katara give him strange looks
Sokka: What? It was pretty funny.
------

King Bumi: Take them to the newly refurbished room that used to be bad!
------

Aang: How am I supposed to know his name?
Katara: Think about the challenges. Maybe it’s some kind of riddle.
Sokka: I got it!
Aang: Yeah?
Sokka: He’s an Earthbender, right? Rocky! (cough from background) You know, because of all the rocks?
Katara: We’re gonna keep trying, but that is a good backup.
Aang: Okay, so back to the challenges. I got a key from the waterfall, I saved his pet, and I had a duel.
Katara: And what did you learn?
Aang: Well, everything was different than I expected...
Katara: And...?
Aang: Well...they weren’t straightforward. To solve each test, I had to think differently than I usually would... I know his name!
------

Aang: I solved the question the same way I solved the challenges. As you said a long time ago, I had to open my brain to the possibilities. Bumi, you’re a mad genius!
King Bumi: Oh, Aang. It’s good to see you. You haven’t changed a bit. Literally.
------

I asked him to find a young man named Roxas from Organization XIII, and bring him to me. When I told him it would help Sora awaken from his slumber, Riku left without a word. He fought Roxas. And I can only surmise Riku lost that fight. Riku must have realized then: to fight in the realm of darkness, he would have to immerse himself in that same darkness. And when he did...you saw what became of him. When Riku brought Roxas back to me, he was introducing himself...as Ansem. If that was what it took to awaken his friend, he was ready to live in darkness. Riku was the victim of my revenge. ...Oh, how my heart ached. I could only laugh to hide my shame."-Ansem the Wise, Kingdom Hearts 2

"They're definitely not with us. But Donald, Goofy, and I can get rid of them for you. And then, we can go see Santa! But first, the Heartless!"-Sora, Kingdom Hearts 2

"You really put Organization XIII in a pickle. I guess that must be why the Keyblade chose you. But man did it pick a dud this time. You don't look like you're half the hero the others were."-Xigbar, Kingdom Hearts 2

"The last bit of light is always the hardest to snuff out."-Sephiroth, Kingdom Hearts 2

There are many worlds,
But they share the same sky
One sky - One destiny. - Kairi, Kingdom Hearts 2

My Fullmetal Alchemist Quotes (yes, they have their own section, too!)

Alphonse: Humankind can not gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of equivalent exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.

------------

Riza Hawkeye: Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. Here at Central Headquarters there was a group 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.

------------

Edward: The Philosophers' Stone: those who possess it, no longer bound by the laws of Equivalent Exchange in Alchemy, may gain without sacrifice, create without equal exchange. We searched for it, and we found it.

------------

Maes Hughes: I hope you'll forgive me, but I have a wife and kid waiting for me back home.

------------

Edward: I've got nothing to worry about then. My 'companion' as you put it, I've fought him plenty of times and I've never beat him once.

Episode One- One Who Challenges the Sun
------------

Edward: I hate deserts. It's nothing but sand. If there was grass I could turn it into bread. I'm starving! Huh? (Looks around). Hey! Al, where'd you go? Al? Hey!

Alphonse: Down here. (Al emerges from the sand beneath Ed and grabs Ed's leg)

Edward: Ahh!!

Alphonse: I sunk again.

Edward: Reason number two I hate the desert.

Edward: I don’t understand why you keep falling in.

Alphonse: I get full.

Edward: Full of what?! *kicks Al and sand falls out, Al laughs nervously and sneaks off*

Edward: *Starts running after Al, Al starts running away* Get back here!

Alphonse: What are you going to do?

Edward: Nothing!

Alphonse: Then why are you chasing me?

Edward: Stop and you'll find out!

Alphonse: I promise I won't get buried again!

Edward: Not unless it's by me!

Alphonse: Ed!

------------

Store Owner: What are you, street performers?

Edward Elric: (spits out drink) I don't think so, pops! Do I look like a clown to you?!

------------

Alphonse: Um, I'm not the Fullmetal Alchemist. He is.

Citizen: Oh, you mean that little shorty there?

*Ed grabs citizen and swings him around in a circle* Shorty?! Can a shorty do this?! What else do you want to call me: a half-pint-bean-sprout midget?! I'm
still growing you backwater desert idiots!"

------------

Edward Elric: Water, 35 liters. Carbon, 20 kilograms. Ammonia, 4 liters. Lime, 1.5 kilograms. Phosphorous, 800 grams. Salt, 250 grams. Saltpeter, 100 grams. Sulfur, 80 grams. Fluorine, 7.5, iron, 5, silicon, 3 grams, and trace amounts of 15 other elements.

Rose: What's that?

Edward Elric: It's all the ingredients of the average adult human body, right down to the last specks of protein in your eyelashes. (closes his notebook) And even though science has given us the entire physical breakdown, there's never been a successful attempt at bringing 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 gonna 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!

Edward Elric: 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 things to gods there are.

Rose: You're not a god. You're nothing close.

Edward: 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.

Alphonse: (Outside the door, watching them) Great, Ed. Push your total cynicism on someone else.
------------

Edward: I can't see a church social down here, can you?

------------

Rose: Oh God...

Edward Elric: 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!

------------

Episode Three- Mother
------------

Ed: This pain's nothing...compared to what he's given up...

------------
Episode Four- A Forger's Love
------------

Clause: You're nothing but a bunch of chickens! Posing as alchemists when you're just a cowardly little pipsqueak and his walking trash can!

Ed: (angry) Pipsqueak?

Al: (sadly) Trash can?

Ed: Nobody calls me a pipsqueak and gets away with it! Not even a little girl!

Clause: Oh, is that so. (mockingly) Gosh, I'm so terrified of a whiny little pipsqueak!

Ed: Shut up and take a look at yourself! If you're a girl like they all say, why do you dress like a paperboy?!

Clause: (angry) That's none of your business!!

------------

Ed: You know, you're much prettier when you don't dress like a paper boy!

------------
Episode 5- The Man with the Mechanical Arm
------------

Hawkeye: (over the phone) Major, I'd just like to offer a bit of... feminine advice. BABIES AREN'T BORN AFTER JUST FIVE MONTHS!

Hughes: (rubs his ear) Geez... does she really think we're talking seriously here?

------------

Edward Elric (via intercom): Attention, gun-toting extremists! You hear me alright? Or did you blow your ears out playing target practice?

Gunman #1: What the hell... is that?!

Edward Elric: Let the hostages go! You've got no right to drag these travelers into your personal politics!

Bald: You're one of Mustang's secret agents, aren't you? Interfere and I'll kill these hostages, one by one!

Edward Elric: You're just itching to draw blood, aren't you? Alright! [A large pipe appears through the door]

Gunman #2: Looks like... a pipe.

Edward Elric: Okay, passengers! Hold onto your seats, and get ready for some turbulence!

------------

Hughes: Just look on the bright side Bald, you probably needed a shower.

------------

[After Al corners one of the gunmen outside the train]

Alphonse Elric: Welcome to the brig. [Al smacks his fist in his hand and a loud clang is heard]

------------

Roy Mustang: You can call me Roy Mustang, or just Lieutenant Colonel. Hell, you can call me the Flame Alchemist. Whatever you do, remember the pain.

------------
Episode Six- The Alchemy Exam
------------

Edward Elric: Easy Al...You heard what Auntie Pinako said, right? State Alchemists are military and get thrown into service whenever war breaks out. You have to do what they say, even hurt people, for some good you don't understand. It means you're a dog of the state, with a leash around your neck...

------------

Maes: Gracia!

Gracia: Honey... It's here!

Maes: The tea?

Gracia: The baby!

Maes: Aaugh! But... but the doctor said next week!

Gracia: Well, the BABY says NOW! And I'm pretty sure SHE gets to CHOOSE!

------------
Episode Seven- Night of the Chimera's Cry
------------

Shou: Come on in, boys. I told you I'd let you see.

Shou: It's a perfect version - a chimera that knows the human tongue. Listen dear, that's your friend Edward, look.

Chimera: Edward friend?

Shou: Yes exactly! That's very good!

Chimera: That's very good.

Alphonse Elric: Unbelievable! It really can talk!

Shou: Ah, I'll have no problem getting the funding now. I can't believe I didn't see it. The other one was too old to adapt.

[The chimera walks over to Edward, reaches into his cloak, and pulls out his State Alchemists' pocket watch]

Chimera: Edward my friend.

Edward Elric: Yeah, that's right...

Chimera: Edward, why does it hurt here?

Alphonse Elric: Brother...?

Edward Elric: So, Tucker.

Shou: Something wrong?

Edward Elric: When was the first time you made one of these...human-speaking chimeras?

Shou: I thought I told you. It's been two years now.

Edward Elric: And when exactly did your wife leave you?

Shou: Two years ago, why?

Edward Elric: [barely under control] And those letters...that Nina wrote...did any of them ever reach her?

Shou: [beginning to comprehend] What are you...getting at?

Edward Elric: Tell me this, WHERE HAVE ALEXANDER AND NINA GONE TO?!

Alphonse Elric: [gasps]

Shou: *sighs* I hate prodigies like you Ed. Too damn perceptive.

[Edward throws Tucker against the wall]

Alphonse Elric: Brother!

Edward Elric: This guy used his own wife, Al!

Alphonse Elric: A-and this time?

Edward Elric: HIS DAUGHTER!....and his dog! He transmuted them into that... THING!

Alphonse Elric: [gasps]

Edward Elric: An easy process when you use people, right?! [shoves Shou against the wall]

Shou: Why are you getting so upset, Edward? It's the nature of scientific progress: animal testing, experimentation, trial and error! All advancements have -- a price.

Edward Elric: SHUT UP! I'm not gonna let you rationalize this, you monster. That was your own family, damn it! You've been toying with people's LIVES!

Shou: Toying with lives? [laugh] What?! Like your arm and leg there? Or your brother's body? Or trying to bring your mother back? That's toying, isn't it? You don't really think you are any different from me, do you, Ed?

[Ed gets angrier and punches Tucker. Tucker merely chuckles and Ed prepares to punch him again, but Al stops him]

Alphonse Elric: Why, Mr. Tucker? The whole point was to pass the assessment and continue your way of life. But now your family's gone. What life is left?!

Shou: That's the funny thing, I didn't have a reason. [Ed gasps] I fully understood, no matter what I did, my life would be ruined. I could either do it with the science, or without. And so I chose science, to see if I could.

Edward Elric: [shakily] What kind of man...

Shou: When you have the power to do something, it's hard not to try. Isn't that what we agreed on, Ed? Aren't we so much alike?

Edward Elric: NO!

Shou: Sure... part of me did it for respect and this house. Just as you partly did it for your mother. But there's more. You're desperate to put your mind to use, Ed. To see what you're capable of, to put the world under your fingers... that's the essence of alchemy. You did it for knowledge...control. Above all, you did it just to prove you can.

[Edward punches Shou; he slumps to the ground]

Edward Elric: [emotionally] You're wrong. Alchemy isn't meant to be... I'm not like YOU!

[Edward begins punching Shou over and over again]

Edward Elric: I'm not! I'm not! I'm not!

Alphonse: Brother, you'll kill him!!

[Edward screams and cocks his fist back for another strike, but the chimera bites his sleeve]

Nina-Chimera: No, big brother.

Ed: Nina, I want you to bear with me, ok? This may hurt.

Alphonse Elric: What are you doing? You're not planning to split them up, are you? You don't know how!

Shou: The chimera is a perfect transmutation, fused to the core. There's no way to separate them now. Careful, you'll just do to them what you did to your mother.

Nina-Chimera: [to Alphonse] You promised you'd come play with me.

Alphonse Elric: I know...

[Basque Grand and several soldiers enter]

Basque Grand: Assaulting army personnel, what the hell's going on!?!

Edward Elric: Spare me, sir. He used his own daughter.

------------
Episode 8- Philosopher's Stone
------------

Edward Elric: You're a man!

Barry the Chopper: Guilty as charged!

------------

Barry the Chopper: She seems to like taking things apart so I thought I'd do the same to her! Watch closely and maybe you'll get to see what makes her tick!

------------

Edward Elric: You're sick...why are you doing this?!

Barry the Chopper: Why? Hmm...that's a funny little question. I guess it's because I enjoy it.

Edward Elric: That's stupid. Why would someone kill for such a ridiculous reason?

Barry the Chopper: (Looks at Edward insanely) Because they can!

------------

Alphonse Elric: Brother, it turns out the Philosopher's Stone may very well be real. But all the clues we need to find it are off limits to everyone except State Alchemists. Since I no longer have a mortal shell, I can't feel the terror you felt, thinking you were going to die. I'm sure it must have been painful, and lonely. I want my body back, brother. I want to be able to feel what you felt. To feel human again. If we find the Philosopher's Stone, I can have that.

Edward Elric: When I was certain he was going to kill me, my mind went blank, and I didn't have any hope anymore. And the only thing I could do was scream my lungs out. I felt so helpless, I couldn't even bring myself to believe someone might save me. Then you showed up, Al. And I realized that if we don't take care of each other, then no one else will. So I'll do anything in my power to get our bodies back, even if it means being the military's lapdog. And we'll just have to hope our powers are good enough to help us rise above our own limits. Cause we're not gods. We're humans. Tiny, insignificant humans who couldn't even save a little girl.

------------
Episode Nine- Be Thou for the People
------------

Lyra: How can you defy the military you serve?

Edward: Because I never sold my soul to them.

------------

Ed: Come on now. Is that anyway to talk to your new boss, landlord, and all-around overseer?

------------
Episode Ten- The Phantom Thief
------------

Edward: (to Alphonse) I'm bored.

Alphonse: (response to Ed) Bored of what? Winning? You haven't lost once yet!

------------

[Ed is pursuing Siren, a Phantom thief, through town]

Edward: [Catches up to her and pins her] I've got you pinned, Siren!

[Realizing he has his hand on her breast, he immediately jumps to his feet]

Edward: I didn't mean that!

------------

Siren: (to Ed) If you find it, tell me and I'll steal it for you.

Edward: You know, it's funny. Every crook I meet wants to tell me how much I'm just like them. But there's a big difference between you and me: the burdens we bear!

Sirin: Bare, I’d love to. (opens her shirt and activates transmutation circle on her chest)

------------
Episode Eleven- The Other Elric Brothers
------------

Ed: You wanna start something with me?

Russell: No, I don't wanna fight with you, Ed, so why don't you turn around and go home? And leave us to take care of things around here.

Ed: That's not the way you beg somebody to do something! (pointing to ground) On your knees!
(pause)

(Ed points to ground, repeatedly) I said get down on the ground!

Russell: Why? So we can see eye to eye? Surely you must be used to people looking down on you!

------------
Episode Twelve- The Other Elric Brothers, Part Two
------------

Edward Elric: Like I said, let's take care of those kids first. It's been a while since I've killed anyone. I kinda miss it...wanna watch?

------------
Episode Thirteen- Fullmetal vs. Flame
------------

Roy Mustang: When I'm Führer, there will be changes! That day...*strikes dramatic pose* all female officers will be required to wear - TINY MINISKIRTS!

Jean Havoc: YOU'RE A MIRACLE, MUSTANG! (hugs Mustang's leg) I'LL FOLLOW YOU FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!

Roy Mustang: Yes! (while posing)

Hawkeye: ... (walks away with bemused look)

------------

Havoc: What's the problem, Breda?

Breda: Havoc! Be careful! It's on the loose! There's nothing protecting us. Over there! Over there! (points to a small dog)

Hawkeye: Care to explain this one, Falman?

Falman: It is a dog, Lieutenant. Carnivorous canine mammal, I believe the scientific name is-

Hawkeye: That's not what I'm asking, Falman. You need to loosen up.

Falman: Yes, sir, Lieutenant Hawkeye. I will continue to work on that.

Fuery: Sorry, sirs. I found him this morning. He was all on his own.

Falman: MSG Fuery.

Havoc: So, are you going to keep him?

Fuery: I wish I could, Lt. Havoc, but as I'm sure you're aware, there's no pets allowed in the NCO living quarters.

Hawkeye: Well, that certainly doesn't mean you can keep him in the office, Kain.

Fuery: I know it, but he was shivering in the rain and I felt sorry for him. You're higher ups, you can keep him.

Falman: Not me, I'm in the dorms too.

Breda: No way! I hate those beasts.

Havoc: (takes dog from Fuery) Don't worry. I'll take him off your hands. I like dogs.

Fuery: Thank you, Lt. Havoc! He's really sweet-

Havoc: Sure, I hear they're good when stir fried. A few spices.... Yes sir, here in the East, they raise them as a delicacy. Especially these plump ones.

Hawkeye: (takes dog away from Havoc) Let's try to find him a better owner, okay.

Fuery: Good plan.

Havoc: Please, I was joking! (Everyone gives him a sarcastic look)

------------

Edward Elric: Al, be rational...we don't have the means to care for it. You can't just go picking up any stray you see...

Alphonse Elric: But it's not just any stray. He called to me. He's wet and hungry. Can't we keep him...?

Edward Elric: No Al! Now go put it back where you found it!

Alphonse Elric (shaking): ....JERK!!! I hate you brother! You're not even human!!! (Cries and runs away with the cat)

Edward Elric: Come on, Al! Think of the kitten!!!

Kitten: *Bouncing around in Alphonse's armor, meowing loudly*

Alphonse Elric: I know! I am! I'm the only one who is!!!

------------

Hughes: (shows picture to Ed) Look, can you believe how big Elysia's gotten? She can even ride a tricycle now! She follows me everywhere on that thing like my own escort of cuteness! (kisses picture)

Edward Elric: Yep, you're the same as ever, Major: nice and insane.

Hughes: I've got more pictures! Wanna see?

Ed: Maybe later. If you knew this transfer was going to happen, why didn't you tell Mustang?

Hughes: Not a chance! I just had to see the look on Roy's face! Oh, by the way, I'm a lieutenant-colonel now! Got me in charge of court martial investigations.

Ed: Sounds fun-filled beyond belief...

------------

Roy Mustang: (snatches puppy from Kain Fuery's arms) Dog, huh? (pause) I LOVE DOGS!

Kain Fuery: Really? You mean it?!

Roy Mustang: OF COURSE! Dogs embody loyalty! They follow their master's commands above all else! Be a jerk to them and they don't complain and they never once beg for a paycheck! Trust me, Fuery, they're the great servants of man! (sings) LOYAL CANINE, HOW WE SALUTE THEE!

------------

Hughes: Incidentally, take a look. (tarp behind him falls revealing a picture of his 3 year old daughter). MY DAUGHTER, WHO JUST TURNED THREE THIS YEAR! ISN'T SHE ADORABLE? (audience pelts him. the picture begins to fall) Oh, no... Elysia, don't fall on Daddy! ELYSIA!!

------------

Maes Hughes: In the red corner...The Flame Alchemist and hero of the Eastern Rebellion...Colonel Roy Mustang! Give it up!

Audience: You just want a promotion!

Audience: Give me back my girlfriend!

Hughes: And in the blue corner, the Fullmetal Alchemist, and living legend of the people, let's hear it for Edward Elric!

Audience: What, where? I can't see him!

Audience: Working grade schooler is more like it!

Audience: Good luck, bean sprout!

Ed: DON'T CALL ME SMALL! I'LL BREAK DOWN YOUR FEET AND STICK THEM ON YOUR HEAD!

Al: Calm down.

Ed: Okay, Al, you're right. Today's a great day, the day I beat Mustang's pompous mug in front the whole army and get some damn respect.

Al: But we're indebted to him, brother.

Ed: He's asked for it. Saying he knows all we do, acting like he'd let our secret out, then not telling me what I need to know.

Al: So what's your strategy?

Ed: I told you, a fist in his face!

(Cut towards Ed and Roy staring at each other on the parade ground)

Edward: This assessment means nothing to me. If I win, you tell me all you know about Marcoh, and let's not forget, you'll have a new cat.

(Roy says nothing)

Maes: ALCHEMISTS GET SET... (ahem) (runs off) READY, FIGHT!!!

Ed: What?

Roy: Too slow. (Snaps fingers, making a bomb.)

Ed: (tries to run, but falls over) DAMN IT, THAT WAS A CHEAP SHOT!

(Ed starts running)

Roy: A soldier favors haste over cleverness. Means there are no cheap shots, Edward. Strike quickly and you'll end it quickly too.

Kain: Those flames are coming out of nowhere; how does he do that?

Havoc: Oh, this is the first time you've seen the Colonel fight? His right glove is made out of ignition cloth. When he snaps he makes a spark. Then he uses alchemy to change the oxygen density in the air, and BOOM. Bombs on command. (While Havoc narrates, Roy shows off his skills)

Ed: (surrounded by a barrage of explosions) Just wait till I stop running! (runs into the crowd) Sorry!

Roy: I guess I can't torch you all...(loudly) This is hard; he's such a small target!

Ed: (stops in his tracks and bursts out of the crowd) WHO'RE YOU CALLING SMALL!?

Roy: If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to irritate, and never fall for an enemy's taunts. (snaps again setting off bom

(Everyone goes flying)

Ed: YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING!

Roy: Okay, maybe I overdid it. (spots silhouette of Ed through smoke, still standing.) Need more? (realizes it is an Ed doll wearing Ed's cape and sticking his tongue out)

(Ed minus red cloak runs up from behind Mustang with a blade for an arm)

Ed: CHEAP SHOT! (Ed cuts Mustang's glove)

Roy: Damn...

Ed: Without that glove, you can't make flames anymore, can you!? (Claps, slams hands on ground, starting a transmutation) That's advantage: Elric! Hah! (Ed transmutes a HUGE cannon pointing at Mustang)

(Mustang pulls his left hand out of his pocket, which is also wearing a glove.)

Ed: Aaaaaaaahh!!!

Roy: (smug look, snap)

Ed: (spinning away) Oooooooooooooooooooowwwww!!(Mustang, hand raised in snapping position, walks up to Ed, lying on the ground)

Roy: All war is deception. Think your enemy has a weakness and it becomes his strength.

Ed: Just finish it.

Roy: You don't have to ask. (Mustang has sudden flashback of someone he killed during Ishbal Rebellion and hesitates for one second)

(Ed has blade arm pointed at Mustang's throat. In the moment of silence, Fuhrer King Bradley, Juliet Douglas and Basque Grand walk up to the pair)

Fuhrer: *clapping* Okay, that's far enough. An excellent fight between two skilled alchemists.

Roy: (straightens up and salutes) We are honored by your compliment, Fuhrer, sir!

Ed: (not saluting or standing up) Don't stop us now; we're not done yet!!

Führer: (chuckle) That may be true, but if I let you go on... (camera zooms out, looking along giant crater and lots of burnt and unconscious soldiers) ...it would be much harder for just the two of you to clean up.

"You were more a piece of shit than a man. Now you can be a piece of dog shit." - Alucard, Hellsing

"For what they all seem to seek is to wage war, and endless desperate, blood-stained, struggles. Things quite close to crying loudly. I don't think they desire those things at all. On the contrary: all of this is their way of shouting and begging for death." - Arthur Hellsing, Hellsing
