ingame dialogue
& they said to each other.
KIROS: Can you really carry a conversation with Julia? Make sure the conversation's sophisticated.
LAGUNA: No worries, man! That's like, my specialty.
KIROS: One wouldn't say you converse, though... All you do is yap-yap-yap and never listen.
JULIA: Going so soon? We haven't talked yet.
LAGUNA: No, it's not that. It's just that I'm a big fan of yours, so I'm really
kinda nervous, y'know?
JULIA: So that's why you come to hear me play so often.
LAGUNA: You... You saw me?
JULIA: You were always smiling while listening, right? You have beautiful eyes.
Though they look a bit scared right now. Don't worry, I'm not going to pluck'em
and eat'em. I just want to talk, gazing into those eyes. Would you like a drink?
Wine perhaps?
LAGUNA: I must be dreamin'...
LAGUNA: Yeah, I don't like fightin' too much, but you get to travel, y'know?
Seeing new places n' stuff. And it's fun, 'cause Kiros and Ward are always with
me. Hey, we should all go out drinkin' sometime! Whaddya say? And uh... What was
I talkin' about? Oh yeah, so I want to quit the army and become a journalist! So
I can tell people 'bout all the things I've seen on my travels.
SQUALL: (He's already loosened up...)
LAGUNA: So, like, the other day, one of my articles made the reader's column.
Pretty cool, huh? Yeah, that was way cool...
JULIA: I'm happy for you.
LAGUNA: Oh yeah, and then... Yikes... I'm talkin' too much again.
LAGUNA: Hmm? Is he at the pub?
ELLONE: Yup. That's why I came over to get yoo, Uncle Laguna! Am I good girl?
LAGUNA: No, you're not! It's dangerous to be out there by yourself. What if a
monster comes and attacks you?
ELLONE: It's only next door. It's ok.
LAGUNA: It's still dangerous! And since you're such a cute little girl, the
monsters will especially be after you! They'll catch you and then they'll suck
all your blood out! If anything like that should happen, Uncle Laguna's gonna
cry...
ELLONE: I'll be ok. I'll just call yoo, Uncle Laguna! You'll come rescue me,
right!?
RAINE: You understand, Ellone? Now go to your room and play.
ELLONE: (I got in twouble.)
LAGUNA: (That's 'cause you broke your promise. Too baaaad...)
RAINE: Laguna! Use proper English when speaking to Ellone!
LAGUNA: (I got'n trouble.)
ELLONE: (Toooo baaaddd!)
LAGUNA: Yeah... You, too. Hey, how long has it been? You know, our grand escape
from Centra?
KIROS: That was... One would usually call that being chased out...
RAINE: I thought so...
LAGUNA: ...How's Julia doing?
KIROS: I don't know...
RAINE: You mean Julia, the singer?
KIROS: That's right. Laguna really admired her and always frequented the night
club.
LAGUNA: Shut up! So what if I did!
RAINE: Julia used to sing at a night club?
KIROS: No, she didn't sing. She just played the piano.
RAINE: Then the first song she released was 'Eyes On Me'?
LAGUNA: H-How does the song go?
RAINE: You don't know?
LAGUNA: Well, you never let me hear it!
RAINE: I didn't think you listened to music. The song's about being in love... I
really like it.
RAINE: I read in a magazine that her true love went off to war and
never came back. General Caraway comforted her while she was feeling down.
That's how they got to know each other.
KIROS: ...So she didn't wait for the soldier to come back...?
LAGUNA: So what! Who cares!? As long as she's happy, right? That's all
that matters! Ain't that right, Elle?
ELLONE: Right! Uncle Laguna and Raine are...
LAGUNA: Ahhhhhhhh!!! OK, enough talk about this! ...I think the faeries
are here.
LAGUNA: So what's your plan? You're gonna stick around here for a bit,
right?
KIROS: Would that be ok?
RAINE: You work for what you eat. If that's fine with you, you're more
than welcome.
LAGUNA: Alright! Our first patrol, complete! We're to report to the
commander and asst. commander.
KIROS: Commander... You mean that woman at the pub?
LAGUNA: Her name's Raine. Raine, OK!? She saved my life. And the asst.
commander is Ellone.
KIROS: She seems like a really nice person. But easily taken in by a
hotshot.
LAGUNA: ...A hotshot? OK, let's step up our patrol a notch. Asst. Kiros,
let's come up with a plan after we get back to the base.
KIROS: Hey, Laguna... Are you doing this patrol thing everyday?
LAGUNA: 'Thing'!? What're you callin' 'THING'!?
KIROS: Weren't you aiming to become a world-travelling journalist? You've
heard of 'Timber Maniacs', right? I had a talk with the chief editor. He said
he's interested in any article related to world travel.
LAGUNA: That's great!
KIROS: We should go talk to him sometime.
LAGUNA: Y-Yeah...
LAGUNA: Um, it's be ok if we stayed here a bit longer, right?
KIROS: You need time to gather more material? This seems like a really
nice town. You're gonna write about this place first, aren't you?
LAGUNA: No way. Can't make this place famous. Too much publicity and yo
get all those tourists and stuff.
KIROS: You're afraid someone might come and take Raine away? Laguna,
you've changed, man.
LAGUNA: Hey! I see a monster!!!
ELLONE: Raine... Aren't yoo gonna marry Uncle Laguna?
RAINE: A guy like that? He was carried in here crying like a baby, and I
was the one who had to take care of him... His crude way of speaking... I don't
know if his aspirations as a journalist... Every time I try to have a serious
conversation, he avoids it... I can't stand his snoring and he...
ELLONE: But he's really nice! I really, really like him! Raine, Uncle
Laguna and Elle should all be together!
RAINE: ...But you know... I think what he really wants to do is travel
all over the world. I don't think he has it in him to live in a quiet country
town like this one. Some people are like that... ...Ouuu, it makes me so mad.
ELLONE: ...Yoo don't like him?
RAINE: ...I feel the same as you, Ellone. Oh!?
LAGUNA: I get scared sometimes. Scared of waking up somewhere else...
Scared of not seeing Ellone...
KIROS: Scared of not seeing Raine?
LAGUNA: What happened to me? I feel... What is this I'm feeling? Oh,
please let it be this room when I wake up! Please let me be in this puny bed
when I wake up!
KIROS: Laguna, you've changed.
LAGUNA: Oh... Meal time! Alright, it's time to eat!
SECURITY GUARD: You keep working! That's what you get for your big mouth!
That beast over there, you, too! No meal until your work is done!!!
LAGUNA: Hey... You can't be serious! I'll be done in 2 to 3 hours, but...
his job won't get done for days!
LAGUNA: *to Moomba* You all right? You look exhausted... Do they feed
you all right? Got a fever or something? Or you just scared of heights?
MOOMBA: Grrr... Grrr...
LAGUNA: Your stomach's goin' grrr?
PRISONER: Ha ha ha... That's funny. I think that thing's 'Grrr...
Grrr...' means 'thank you'. Know what? You're the first one to care about his
well-being. These Moombas get worked to death for no reason. They only get half
the food and sleep compared to us humans.
LAGUNA: That's horrible... You need to get outta here. When we get outta
here, I'll feed you all the food you want. And you'll get to nap all you want!
How's that?
MOOMBA: Grrr... Grrr...
PRISONER: You're such a... nice guy. Not many guys like you these
days. You seem like you'd be a good candidate to be our leader.
LAGUNA: A leader?
PRISONER: That's right. A lot of us are dissatisfied with the way Adel's
been ruling Esthar. We may be disorganized now... But someday we'll gather our
forces to remove Adel from power. We're overthrowing the ruler of a country. A
sorceress, far beyond our powers. A half-baked plan would never work. We're
waiting for the right time, now... Most of us involved in the Adel resistance
are specialists. It's easy to research ways to fight Adel, but... There's no one
to lead the movement. That's our situation right now. We've been looking for
someone like you... Someone who's strong and righteous...
LAGUNA: Hey! You waited for me?
MOOMBA: Grrr... Grrr...
LAGUNA: Stay on your toes! Don't get captured again!
*Moomba runs off.*
LAGUNA: (Darn it! I promised him a meal and a nap when we get out.
Well... I guess he's better off running... free.) !
LAGUNA: Huh? ......Hmm... Okay, fine! We'll accept your help. In
return, we'll help your Anti-'Azel' movement or whatever.
WARD: ......
KIROS: It's 'ADEL'. Start listening more closeles, 'cause it's getting
embarrassing... is what Ward would say. Can't you see it in his eyes?
LAGUNA: Yeah, sure, I always see it! But... who cares!? I speak with
passion, from the heart! That's what matters most.
PRISONER: Yes... That's right! It all sounds crazy, but... I like you! I
really want you to be our leader...
LAGUNA: Leave it to me! Once we find Ellone, I'll take up that offer!
Well, let me go pay a little visit to Odine. Wait right here! (Darn it, did it
again! Why don't I ever think things through before I answer? Well... It's been
ok 'til now. I'm sure things will work out.)
PRISONER: This girl, Ellone... Is she your special someone?
LAGUNA: Huh? Yeah, something like that.
KIROS: Laguna.... Pu-lease... She's like a daughter to you.
LAGUNA: She may be small, but Elle's still a 'lady'. Imagine how angry
she'd be if she heard me talking about her like a baby. So I say 'special
someone' out of respect... and fear.
KIROS: I see... Maybe you have a point. It's not wise to upset her.
LAGUNA: Right. Do you remember the 'J Disaster'?
KIROS: Yes... She got upset and put fruit jam in your shoes. You were
almost in tears!
LAGUNA: Ugh! Just thinking about it gives me goose bumps.
PRISONER: Sounds like a brat... I mean, a spunky girl.
LAGUNA: Hey wait! Tell me where! *catches Odine*
DR ODINE: ......In O Lab! Ellone iz there.
DR'S ASSISTANT: (...He means Odine's Laboratory) To go there, go over
here... then over there... and then here.
LAGUNA: I see... I didn't understand a word. Kiros! It's your show from
here!
DR'S ASSISTANT: We'll be joining you as soon as we can. Until then, good
luck! Please be careful.
LAGUNA: This is the place, right? This place sure is weird... Hey?
Where'd he go?
KIROS: I think he must be lookin' for us...
WARD: ......
KIROS: Yeah, you wouldn't usually jump out of a car...
LAGUNA: Whoa, it just kinda sped off. I hope he's all right.
KIROS: Besides, we're...
WARD: ......!
*Fight with Esthar soldiers.*
LAGUNA: W-What the...! So many unusual gadgets here. *Sits down on
elevator*
*Laguna fiddles with the control panel*
KIROS: Umm... do you know what you're doing?
*After several attempts, something is unlocked.*
LAGUNA: ...!? Ellone!!! Ellone!!! ELLONE!!! Darn, she can't hear me.
LAGUNA: Ellone!!!
ELLONE: Uncle Laguna!
LAGUNA: *hugs Ellone* See... I told ya I'd come save you... Sorry I'm a
little late, but...
