Kalm
Aeris
AERIS:Wow, Kalm is-- wait. That would be an exceedingly obvious pun. Must... resist...
Red XIII
RED XIII:It sure is... tranquil around here, isn't it?
Tifa
TIFA:I've never been in a place more... serene.
Barrett
BARRETT:For once, I refuse to state the obvious. Mr. Cloud, won't you tell us a story?
Cloud
CLOUD:Well, all right. Settle down and I'll tell you a story about a boy, an exceedingly handsome warrior, and a very large sword.
Tifa
TIFA:And me!
Cloud
CLOUD:Right, some freak in a cowboy hat was there, too. Well, anyway...
Barrett
BARRETT:Give Sephiroth a funny voice! Give Sephiroth a funny voice!
Random Flash of White
RANDOM FLASH OF LIGHT:I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be here, but there's no swirly effect like one would find on television, so I suppose I function as a flashback warning, too. By the way, Cloud, you are full of crap. Just a little something to keep in mind.
Teenage Cloud
TEENAGE CLOUD:Wow, it sure is raining. Hello, random Shinra soldier. Why are you moaning like that?
Soldier
SOLDIER:Oh, you know. Reasons.
Sephiroth
SEPHIROTH:Isn't that nice, folks? It sure is. Cloud, try to focus on me and my shocking sense of self-importance. My ego needs feeding.
Teenage Cloud
TEENAGE CLOUD:Don't worry, Sephiroth. No matter what my hormones say at the time, I may or may not have been chemically manufactured in a lab to serve you. I certainly have no spine of my own. You will always be my guiding star, my inspiration, my...
Soldier
SOLDIER:Don't make me throw up again. I'm this close.
Teenage Cloud
TEENAGE CLOUD:Incidentally, ooh! Shiny.
Sephiroth
SEPHIROTH:I have more shiny orbs than you. Kneel to thy master. Anyway, today we'll be visiting the Nibelheim reactor. There I will find my mother. Then I'll burn down your hometown. Oh, I may or may not sex you up before that last one happens.
Teenage Cloud
TEENAGE CLOUD:Only if I'm allowed to be confused the entire time.
Soldier
SOLDIER:But first, let's stop the truck and demonstrate Sephiroth's godlike abilities!
Aeris
AERIS:I hate to impede on your flashback just loaded with Freudian significance, but from your description, you weren't strictly necessary to this fight, were you?
Cloud
CLOUD:Well, not really, no. But I was mesmerized by the way Sephiroth fought.
Tifa
TIFA:Listen, I know you're the hero and all, and therefore heterosexual, but that is so incredibly gay. I think I may have to start chasing after Red XIII instead.
Red XIII
RED XIII:Woe.
Cloud
CLOUD:Can we get back to my egocentric monologue? Now where was I?
Sephiroth
SEPHIROTH:Well, how do you feel about being in this little hole-in-the-wall town you grew up in? I'll bet it brings back all sorts of unpleasant memories.
Teenage Cloud
TEENAGE CLOUD:Was your childhood as unpleasant as mine?
Sephiroth
SEPHIROTH:I'll bet you didn't come from a test tube
Teenage Cloud
TEENAGE CLOUD:That's what you think!
Sephiroth
SEPHIROTH:My mother is a personification of all that is wrong with the modern world.
Teenage Cloud
TEENAGE CLOUD:My mother pressures me into dating girls.
Sephiroth
SEPHIROTH:Okay, you win. Be sure to go to bed early. You'll need plenty of rest for what I plan to do to you in the next twenty-four hours.
Teenage Cloud
TEENAGE CLOUD:Oh, behave.
Inn Music
INN MUSIC:I am the only reliable way of measuring time. Deal with it.
Teenage Tifa
TEENAGE TIFA:Well, yippy-kay-o-kay-a! Howdy, ya'll! My name is Tifa, and I'll be your tour guide. Please keep feet, hands, and other appendages in the vehicle at all times.
Teenage Cloud
TEENAGE CLOUD:Curses. Foiled again.
Camera Man
CAMERA MAN:I may be important to the plot later. You'd better pay attention. Oh, who am I kidding? If it isn't an FMV it isn't worth watching. Look at the photograph I take.
Average Fan
FAN:...Pretty.
Teenage Tifa
TEENAGE TIFA:We should be okay, as long as my cowboy hat doesn't attract plot contrivances from Indiana Jones.
Sephiroth
SEPHIROTH:Your hat made the bridge collapse.
Teenage Cloud
TEENAGE CLOUD:Where do the shiny orbs come from?
Sephiroth
SEPHIROTH:Well you see, Cloud, when a mommy materia loves a daddy materia very much-- oh, who am I kidding. I'll just spout off some quasi-scientific nonsense and leave it at that.
Teenage Tifa
TEENAGE TIFA:Good enough for me. Incidentally, let me in the reactor. I want to know of its twisted machinations.
Teenage Cloud
TEENAGE CLOUD:You're not allowed. Boys only.
Sephiroth
SEPHIROTH:Here's Jenova. She was causing a disturbance.
Teenage Cloud
TEENAGE CLOUD:My poor choice of words take your fragile ego, rip it out of your chest, spit on it, and then jump up and down on it. If I had more tact you'd still be sane.
Sephiroth
SEPHIROTH:It's funny how the smallest things can make a major difference, isn't it?
Teenage Cloud
TEENAGE CLOUD:Isn't it ironic?
Teenage Tifa
TEENAGE TIFA:Don't you think?
Sephiroth
SEPHIROTH:Look at me make incredible jumps of logic! A book says that mommy came from far away, so it must be true.
Teenage Cloud
TEENAGE CLOUD:Hello, how does being insane and uninhibitied feel?
Sephiroth
SEPHIROTH:Somewhat good, but I'm chilly. I think I'll torch the village to stay warm. Now it's off to rescue mommy. My life is wacky and fun.
Teenage Cloud
TEENAGE CLOUD:This village sure is destroyed. Well gee whiz, everyone I know is dead.
Teenage Tifa
TEENAGE TIFA:Not everyone.
Sephiroth
SEPHIROTH:We'll see about that.
Teenage Cloud
TEENAGE CLOUD:Sephiroth, I hate you.
Sephiroth
SEPHIROTH:Wow, this is the first time I've literally impaled you on my sword.
Teenage Cloud
TEENAGE CLOUD:Gee.
Aeris
AERIS:...And?
Cloud
CLOUD:Uh, that's all, folks.
Red XIII
RED XIII:Not to be a critic or anything, but I could drive an airship through the holes in this story. Why are you still alive?
Tifa
TIFA:Why am I still alive?
Cloud
CLOUD:I don't know. Isn't it myserious? Aren't you choking on the mystery of it all?
Barrett
BARRETT:I want the last twelve hours of my life back.
Aeris
AERIS:Have I mentioned that selling flowers doesn't pay the rent? I also sell mobile phones! Here Cloud, have one on the house.
Cloud
CLOUD:Does it have roaming charges?
Aeris
AERIS:Like you wouldn't believe. Any leisure calls will come straight out of your pocket.
Chocobo
CHOCOBO:Wark.
Cloud
CLOUD:Watching chocobos dance is fun. Ooh, shiny.
Chocobo Billy
CHOCOBO BILLY:I'm here to cheat you out of all of your money. Who wants more shiny objects?
Cloud
CLOUD:Me, me! Come on, Mr. Chocobo, steer us past yet another example of bizarre Freudian imagery.
Tifa
TIFA:If the snakes mean what I think they mean, then what does a dead, limp one impaled by a sword represent?
Red XIII
RED XIII:Freud says . . . consult the section on E.D.
Barrett
BARRETT:Who's E.D.?
Cloud
CLOUD:We have more important things to worry about. Let's go into an abandoned mine.
Rude
RUDE:Good to see you again, Cloud and company.
Cloud
CLOUD:Wow. You're bald.
Rude
RUDE:Am not. My hairline's just receding a bit!
Aeris
AERIS:Yeah, receding beyond the horizon.
Rude
RUDE:Listen, don't tempt me to killing you, you're still important to the plot.
Elena
ELENA:My inadvertantly revealing all to you is actually a stunning ruse to cover my own intelligence.
Tseng
TSENG:No it isn't.
Elena
ELENA:He sees right through my web of deceit. I think I'm in love.
Cloud
CLOUD:Well, it's been fun, but I think I'd like to advance the plot beyond your cryptic hints.
Yuffie
YUFFIE:I can help you do that.
Cloud
CLOUD:Really?
Yuffie
YUFFIE:No. But I can make you answer an exacting series of questions and impose stringent penalties if you get them wrong.
Tifa
TIFA:Well, that was fun. Wow, Junon harbor sure is a run-down shanty town.
Red XIII
RED XIII:It sure is.
Pricilla
PRICILLA:Hey, this is my crappy Hooverville. Only the residents are allowed to insult it. Besides, a dolphin plays in these highly polluted waters! It can't be all bad.
Monster
BOTTOMSWELL:My presence suggests otherwise.
Barrett
BARRETT:Cloud, she's going to die unless you give her CPR!
Cloud
CLOUD:It's okay, I'm the hero. I'm qualified to do anything. I watched a Baywatch marathon once.
Yuffie
YUFFIE:That little girl is so very very screwed.
Pricilla
PRICILLA:It's a good thing it's not possible for me to die.
Red XIII
RED XIII:Ever get the feeling that some of the enemies we face are incredibly lame plot contrivances?
Tifa
TIFA:Nah.
Town person
TOWN PERSON:You saved Priscilla, whose dolphin is the sole source of our income. You may stay in my house for free. But keep your hands off the silver.
Yuffie
YUFFIE:Man, he's got my number alright. I guess I'm not allowed to steal any jewelry either. I never get to have any fun.
Red XIII
RED XIII:This bed better not have any fleas in it.
Cloud's Subconcious
CLOUD'S SUBCONCIOUS:Hey, buddy boy. Don't you think it's weird that Tifa recognized the inconsistencies in your story but didn't comment on them?
Cloud
CLOUD:Now that you mention it, it is kind of weird.
Cloud's Subconcious
CLOUD'S SUBCONCIOUS:Maybe you should ask her about it when you wake up.
Cloud
CLOUD:Hey, Tifa. Why didn't you expose me for the fraud I am when I was telling my story?
Tifa
TIFA:Er . . . hey! Look over there!
Cloud
CLOUD:Where? The elevator? My eyes are curiously drawn to it. Too bad I'm not allowed to use it right now.
Pricilla
PRICILLA:Here. You may now ride the dolphin.
Cloud
CLOUD:Sweet.
Sergeant
SERGEANT:Get into uniform. I need another private under me.
Cloud
CLOUD:Mmm . . . uniforms.
Sergeant
SERGEANT:Let's undergo tedious drills!
Cloud
CLOUD:I'm competent now. Do I get to go on National television?
Soldier
SOLDIER:Please?
Sergeant
SERGEANT:Well, I suppose.
Broadcastor
BROADCASTOR:That one soldier is what made or broke our ratings. Hooray for absurd logic. Here, have a present.
Cloud
CLOUD:Hooray for random gifts in the mail.
Rufus
RUFUS:Heidigger, I'm bored. Make them dance.
Heidigger
HEODIGGER:You heard the President. Dance, you idiots, dance!
Rufus
RUFUS:This sucks. I want to go home.
Cloud
CLOUD:Break time!
Sergeant
SERGEANT:No break for you.
Cloud
CLOUD:I get a break or I tell the union.
Sergeant
SERGEANT:Damn. Fine, break. But you come right back, ya hear? I want you to man an incredibly important boat.
Cloud
CLOUD:Well, okay. But I'll have you know that I expect overtime pay for this. Maybe even holiday pay.
Sergeant
SERGEANT:Don't make me hurt you.
Cloud
CLOUD:Woo-hoo! Boats!
