These quotes were garnered while playing my Final Fantasy VII game, the original North American version for Playstation.

Vincent
On
Task
|
"...Do you want me to keep watch?" |
| "I'll be looking around here." |
| "Now, how can we get out of here..." |
| "We must protect this area." |
| "Where is their destination..." |
| "Then the remaining question is what to do with the Huge Materia." |
| "...We still can't seem to get near Sephiroth..." |
Vincent
Bewildered
|
"What happened all of a sudden? Did something happen?" |
| "Further down? I don't see any signs of danger..." |
| "You mean...we weren't in pursuit of Sephiroth...? |
Vincent's
Prescient
Admonitions
|
"...If that's true, then we're in for it." |
| "If that's true, we should hurry. Something terrible could happen at any moment." |
| "Stay on alert. You never know when Sephiroth might appear." |
| "We should go back to the ship now." |
Vincent
Assesses
|
"Inexcusable...
Seems as though all she was after was our materia.
We can't just let her get away." |
| "I don't care what you're doing, so much as the idiotic way you're doing it." |
| "...Don't expect anything else from me except fighting beside you. I don't have any comforting words. Of course, I don't believe you're the type of guy who needs kindness from others......" |
| "A fearful sense of humor..." |
Vincent
Expresses
Himself
|
"It would appear thanks are in order..." |
| "...So glad you're all right, Tifa." |
| "Hmm...Being with you all is not so bad." |
| "Hojo...Rest in peace..." |
Vincent
Introspective
|
"I'm getting less human..." |
"Cool?
Hmm...I guess that's just the way I am, sorry." |
"Defeat Sephiroth...
Defeat the son of that beloved woman...
Am I on the verge of committing another sin...
Or am I atoning as best I can for just watching..." |
Vincent
Reminisces
|
"The machines in Cosmo Canyon were presents of Dr. Gast.
Wrapped up in the planet's strange notions surrounded by Shinra-made machines...
Science and the Planet lived side by side in that old man's heart." |
"Hojo...what a queer fellow. Such utter lack of scientific talent...compared with the genius of Dr. Gast
...Lucrecia chose him trying to protect him...
Now I understand...
I understand...
But..." |
Vincent
Speaks
on
Feelings
|
"Too much hope is the opposite of despair. An overpowering love may consume you in the end..." |
| Cid...I wish I had your go-get-them attitude. It appears my feelings vanished into thin air since I was in that long slumber...." |
| "...How does it feel, Cloud? Living for yourself and not someone else?" |
"....Feelings alone aren't enough.
....It's irritating, isn't it Cloud?" |
Vincent
Waxes
Philosophical
|
"Escape from a world of illusions...
Hmph...I wonder which is better...?" |
"City of the Ancients...
The Ancients...after a long time that is probably what others will come to call us...
Hmm...hwa ha ha ha...
It's only a matter of time for us." |
Various
Vincent
Quotes
|
My occupation is...forget it." |
"Hmph...I'll show them what real fighting is." |
| "...All this...while I was sleeping..." |
| "I'm not very mechanical, but it seems like we're starting to move." |
| Shinra's technology is really something." |
| "First the ocean, now the air...What a busy day." |
| "And the Lifestream also appears to be normal." |
| "...I was wrong. The one that should have slept was...you, Hojo! |
"Cloud...take the ship to the Northern Cave.
The time for flying is now past.
Our battlefield is now beneath the earth...
The gate of tomorrow is not the light of heaven,
but the darkness of the depths of the earth..." |

Aeris: "So you're punishment was to sleep? That's...kinda weird." |
| Red XIII: "So you slept as punishment? Isn't that strange? That thinking..." |
| Yuffie: "Ok. Boring story No. 1." |
| Cait Sith: "You think that's punishing yourself? You're just sleeping." |
| Cid: "You shouldn't sleep just because of that. Sleep?" |
| Barret: "That when you started sleepin' in a box?" |
| Tifa: "So the punishment was sleep? That's weird." |

THE CRYPT SCRIPT

Note: This version of the script includes Aeris

|
Vincent
|
"To Wake me from the nightmare...
Who is it?"
(Coffin lid flies off.)
"...Never seen you before, you must leave." |
|
Cloud
|
"You were having a nightmare." |
|
Aeris
|
"You'll dream about bad things if you sleep in a place like this." |
|
Vincent
|
"Hmph...a nightmare...?
My long sleep has given me time to atone." |
|
Cloud
|
"What are you saying?" |
|
Vincent
|
"I have nothing to say to strangers. Get out.
This mansion is the beginning of your nightmare." |
|
Cloud
|
"...You can say that again." |
|
Vincent
|
"Hmm? What do you know?" |
|
Cloud
|
"Like you said, this mansion is the beginning of a nightmare.
No, it's not a dream, its' for real.
Sephiroth has lost his mind, he found the secrets hidden in this mansion..." |
|
Vincent
|
"Sephiroth!?" |
|
Vincent & Cloud
|
"You know Sephiroth?" |
|
Vincent
|
(Vincent flips into the air and somersaults to land on the edge of his coffin.)
"You start first." |
|
Cloud
|
(Relays the details)
"That's how it was." |
|
Vincent
|
(Repeating what Cloud has told him.)
"So Sephiroth knows he was created 5 years ago? And about the Jenova Project?
...He was missing, but has recently reappeared.
He has taken many lives and is seeking the Promised Land." |
|
Cloud
|
"Now it's your turn." |
|
Vincent
|
"Sorry, I cannot speak." |
|
Aeris
|
"That's dirty!" |
|
Vincent
|
(Jumps down to stand in the coffin)
"Hearing your stories has added upon me yet another sin.
More nightmares shall come to me than I previously had."
(He sits.)
"Now...please leave."
(Coffin lid flies back as he lies down and closes him back into the coffin.) |
|
Vincent
|
(Cloud knocks on the lid again and Vincent throws it off.)
"You're still here?" |
|
Cloud
|
"Who are you?"
"At least tell us your name." |
|
Vincent
|
"I was with...the Shinra Manufacturing Department in Administrative Research, otherwise known as...
the Turks..."
"Vincent" |
|
Cloud
|
"The Turks?!" |
|
Vincent
|
"Formerly of the Turks. I have no affiliation with Shinra now."
"And you?" |
|
Cloud
|
Cloud, formerly of Soldier." |
|
Vincent
|
"You were also with Shinra...?
Then do you know Lucrecia?" |
|
Cloud
|
"Who?" |
|
Vincent
|
"...Lucrecia."
(Cloud shakes his head negatively.)
"The woman who gave birth to Sephiroth." |
|
Cloud
|
"...Gave birth? Wasn't Jenova Sephiroth's mother?" |
|
Vincent
|
"That isn't completely wrong, but just a theory.
He was born from a beautiful lady.
That lady was Lucrecia. She was an assistant to Dr. Gast of the Jenova Project.
Beautiful Lucrecia..." |
|
Cloud
|
"...A human experiment?" |
|
Vincent
|
"There was no way to cancel the experiment. I couldn't stop her. That was my sin.
I let the one I loved, the one I respected most, face the worst. |
|
Aeris
|
"So your punishment was to sleep? That's...kinda weird."
(Vincent closes himself back into the coffin.) |
|
Vincent
|
(Cloud knocks on the coffin again.)
"Let me sleep."
(At this point, Vincent will not emerge from the coffin again until you head for the stairs to leave the basement.) |
|
Vincent
|
(As the team is leaving, Vincent flips into the corridor.)
"Wait!"
"If I go with you will I meet Hojo?" |
|
Cloud
|
"Dunno, but we're after him and Sephiroth. So, I guess, sooner or later..." |
|
Vincent
|
(Punches his right fist in the air.)
"...Lucrecia..."
(He spins around to face them.)
"All right, I've decided to go with you." |
|
Aeris
|
"Sure is a quick change of heart. Huh?" |
|
Vincent
|
"Being a former Turks, I may be of help to you." |
|
Cloud
|
"All right, then."
