010. the philosopher's stone

Hakuro: Colonel Mustang.
Roy: Well, well, if it isn't General Hakuro. How is your injury?
Hakuro: It won't prevent me from working. The matter of Scar is more important than that. I want to know how a single man caused this much trouble, and why, despite mobilizing a large number of men, he hasn't been apprehended yet.
Roy: We are continuing the search with every available resource at hand, so if you gave us some more time...
Hakuro: I want results, not just words. At this rate, we're going to end up having to issue a warning to the entire east area. [...]
Havoc: I thought it was rare for that old man to come out from the New Optain branch. Turns out he came here only to bitch at you.
Roy: He is just not happy about a youngster like me being a colonel, fearing the day that he might have to give up his own position for it. Just leave him alone. However, I too urgently want the Scar case to be finished with. It's best to nip in the bud the cause of future threats quickly. On the other hand, my reputation will grow even at Central by taking care of these unwieldy criminal cases. "Turn misfortune into gain". I will make use of everything that can be used so that I may be promoted. Until I gain full authority over the military in my position as the fuhrer.
Hawkeye: I believe it would be best if you were to refrain from saying anything inappropriate.
Roy: Yes. I'll be very careful.

011. the two guardians

Roy: What do you think?
Hawkeye: I think this is definitely what Scar wore.
Roy: Is there a corpse?
Havoc: We're searching, but it'd going to take weeks to go through everything under the rubble.
Hawkeye: Regardless, with the amount of blood he lost, he probably isn't in good shape.
Roy: Yeah... But don't let your guard down until his death has been verified. Second Lieutenant Havoc!
Havoc: Yes?
Roy: You and your men are to continue clearing away the rubble. You are not getting any breaks in the afternoon nor any in the evening! Drag out his corpse no matter what!
Havoc: Ugh. Please give me a break. You're not trying to work us to death, are you?
Roy: Shut up! I won't be able to relax and go on a date until I see his corpse in front of me!
Havoc: Oh, I see.

Roy: Lately, there seems to be a lot of talk going on about whether I'm stronger than Fullmetal.
Hawkeye: Are you interested in finding out, Colonel?
Roy: Don't be ridiculous. Am I supposed to seriously consider fighting a kid? And in any case, even if we tried to set up a match, Fullmetal's wandering around all over the place, so it would be hard to get ahold of him. It's too bad I won't be able to show off my valiant figure. But, oh well, that's just the way things are.

Roy: "The military should value swiftness." Which means that in battles, one ought to attack quickly and finish them quickly.
Edward: And you're not holding back either!
Roy: Right. It's a little difficult to hit when my target's small.
Edward: Don't say I'm small!
Roy: "Use anger to throw them into disarray." You shouldn't get provoked by the enemy.
Edward: Eep...
Roy: I might have overdone it. I can't see through this smoke. Over there...! Shi--!
Edward: Now you can't make your flame!
Roy: Damn it!
Edward: I've won!!
Roy: I'll stop pretending I'm worried. I've got a spark cloth globe for my left hand too, actually. "All warfare is bsed on the art of deception!" That surprise attack was also an impressive strategy, Fullmetal.
