Edward: Colonel!
Roy: Hi, Fullmetal.
King Bradley: Sit down.
Edward: ... What happened?
Roy: Various things. A heap of it. Sergeant Major Fuery to the South, Warrant Officer Falman to the North, Second Lieutenant Breda has been sent to the West. And it seems First Lieutenant Hawkeye is the Fuhrer's personal assistant.
Edward: What the hell is that!? That's a damn good hostage!! To think such an implausible transfer would be allowed...
Roy: It wasn't just a "part" of the higher-ups. "Everything" is pitch black.
Edward: Fuhrer King Bradley... no... a homunculus!! Besides us, there's only the Fuhrer in this room.
Alphonse: Just himself. Only one sword as his weapon.
Roy: So he has the confidence to win even if he comes face to face with us three state-class fighting faction alchemists.
King Bradley: What will you do, Colonel Mustang? You wouldn't say you're quitting the military, would you?
Roy: That's right... Though I'm a pet dog, I couldn't stand being an underdog. Above all, for my own ambition, it doesn't seem like I can take off my uniform or throw this thing away for the moment.
King Bradley: Very good. You may all leave.
Roy: May I ask one more thing, your excellency?
King Bradley: What is it, Colonel?
Roy: Were you the one who killed Hughes?
King Bradley: No. It was not me.
Roy: Then who?
King Bradley: Just one, was the promise.
Alphonse: Colonel! Please tell us Doctor Knox's address!
Roy: Oh? Okay... I can tell you, but don't move very openly.
Edward: And money!! Give us some change!!
Roy: Money?!
Edward: Just give it to us, hurry!!
Roy: Waitami--
Edward: Guh!! Don't be so stingy!! Is this all you have?! Peh!!
Roy: What are you, a gangster?!
Alphonse: Sorry, Colonel!! We'll report back to you on various things later!!
Roy: What in the world... Oh no!! First Lieutenant!!
Roy: First Lieu...!!
Armstrong: Mm? You look a bit pale, Colonel.
Roy: What man wouldn't look sallow when he finds a muscle-mustache-man standing at the meeting place with a woman? I suppose she wouldn't be stupid enough to wait the whole night... No, maybe she's already been called up by the Fuhrer... Dammit! Please be safe somehow...!
Hawkeye: Colonel!! You're all right! You were so late, I thought something might have happened! Eh? Aah! My apologies!
Armstrong: First Lieutenant Hawkeye just now returned from the restroom.
Hawkeye: Major Armstrong saw me on his way home and took my place for a little while... Thank you, Major.
Armstrong: Not a problem.
Roy: ... You didn't run away?
Hawkeye: Now who was the one who said "don't give up no matter what"?
Roy: Don't go saying "I should have run away instead" later, First Lieutenant!
Hawkeye: You're saying such things now?

Armstrong: What?!! The Fuhrer is a homunculus...?!! ... I... I thought that I wanted to fight for the weak people of this country. Not only myself. Many others felt the same and, believing in the military, have left their seats. And yet, above... to think it's already too late for the military body that is supposed to be a source of strength...
Roy: Why don't you quit the military, Major? With your personality, it will just be hard for you if you stay.
Armstrong: Back then, I ran away from the battle at Ishval. The way the military works is wrong... I thought so strongly. And yet I still ran away. I turned my back on my own battlefield. I should have remained on the battlefield so I could fight the "thing that is wrong"!! From the time I ran away from Ishval to today. There hasn't been a day when I haven't felt shame for twisting my convictions and running. Is you say that this is another battlefield, how could I alone run away with my tail between my legs?! What will you do, Colonel?
Roy: Yes. I told the Fuhrer that "I can't quit yet because of my ambitions". The fact that the Fuhrer revealed such an important secret to me, it implies that "even if you defeat me, there is still something bigger behind me". I'm being tested. Isn't it an honor?
Hawkeye: ... They're giving you a surprising amount of room.
Roy: Who knows? Just... though it was the same when I fought that homunculus Lust. When I, who am called a "weapon" or a "monster" fight a real monster, I can fully realize that I am just a "human".
