"Words, words, words."

Streets of Midgar

"Oh, these? Do you like them? They're only a gil....?"

Aeris' Church

"That's all right. The flowers here are quite resilient because this is a sacred place."
"They say you can't grow grass and flowers in Midgar."
"But for some reason, the flowers have no trouble blooming here."
"I love it here."

"But mine is special. It's good for absolutely nothing."

".....good for nothing? You probably just don't know how to use it."

"No, I do... it just doesn't do anything."
"I feel safe just having it. It was my mother's...."

"I'm Aeris, the flower girl. Nice to meet you."

"The name's Cloud."
"Me.....? I do a little bit of everything."

"Oh.... a jack of all trades."

"Yeah, I do whatever's needed."

"What's so funny? What are you laughing at?"

"Sorry..... I just..."

"Say, Cloud. Have you ever been a bodyguard?"
"You DO do everything, right?"

"Yeah, that's right."

"Then, get me out of here. Take me home."

"OK, I'll do it... but it'll cost you."

"Well then, let's see......"
"How about if I go out with you once?"

"Wait... Wait, I said!"
"Puff... wheeze..."
"Slow.... down.... Don't leave me...."

"Funny..."
"I thought you were cut out to be in SOLDIER?"

"Oh! You're terrible!"

Aeris' House

"I'm home, mom."
"This is Cloud, my bodyguard."

"Bodyguard.....? You mean you were followed again!?"
"Are you all right!? You're not hurt, are you!?"

"I'm all right. I had Cloud with me."

"You should have..."
"an older girlfriend, one that'll take care of you."
"I think that would be the perfect type for you."

Sector 6

"How could I ask you to go along when I knew it would be dangerous?"

"Thanks. I guess this is goodbye. You gonna be all right going home?"

"Oh no! 'Whatever will I do!?' ...isn't that what you want me to say?"

"I could do that. But won't I be in your way?"

"What do you mean in the way?"

"Nothing!"

Wall Market

"Walk more nicely like... this. Miss Cloud."

"What do you mean 'nicely'?"

"Oh you're so cute, Miss Cloud."

"I'm going to go change."

"......No peeking!"

"So? How do I look?"

"Oh, you're no fun!"

"Aeris. I got you mixed up in all of this..."

"Don't tell me to go home."

Aeris' House (Revisited)

"Guess what? Guess what? Aeris was asking me lots of questions."
"Like what kind of person Cloud is. I bet she likes you, Cloud!"

"I won't tell Tifa."

Shinra Headquarters

"So even you will fight for someone else. I had you figured wrong I guess."

Hojo's Lab

"Cloud... so you did come for me."

Shinra Prison Cell

"Cloud, are you there?"

"Aeris!? You safe?"

"Yeah, I'm all right."

"I knew that Cloud would come for me."

"Hey, I'm your bodyguard, right?"

"The deal was for one date, right?"

Outside Sector 7 Gate

"You know what? This is the first time I've ever left Midgar..."

"A little,... no, maybe a lot. But I have my bodyguard, right?"

"We need a group leader for our journey. 'Course only me could be the leader."

"You think so...?"

"It would have to be Cloud."

Shinra Oceanliner

"Hey, Cloud. Did you see the Airship at Junon?"

"...I heard it was big, but I didn't expect it to be THAT big."

"That was REALLY something."
"Hey, do you think I could get on it?"

"I'll take you someday."

"...keep hoping."

"Wow! I'm really looking forward to it!"
"Let's ride the Airship together, OK? Promise, promise me!"

Costa Del Sol

"Maybe I should get a tan for a change."
"Which do you like, Cloud?"

"I like fair complexions."

"Got it. I'll remember that."

"Hmm? Cloud, are you thinking of anything in particular?"
"Your cool exterior is cracking..."

"Cloud...?"
"What do you think of me?"

"I don't understand anything."

"......You're right."
"Even I don't understand myself."

Golden Saucer

"What you pursue will be yours. But you will lose something dear."

Corel Prison

"Didn't want none of ya to get involved..."

"Hey that's Cloud's line! '...It's too dangerous, I can't let you get involved...' blah, blah, blah..."

Gongaga

(jealous...envious...)

"Are you... jealous? Hmm? Hmmm? Are you, Cloud?"

"I'm kidding. I'm sorry."

Cosmo Candle

"I'm...... alone..... I'm all alone now..."

"But I'm..... we're here for you, right?"

Golden Saucer (Revisited)

"Hee, hee!"

"What's wrong?"

"You want to go on a date?"

"What?"

"A DA-TE! Or haven't you ever gone on one?"

(Kiss the Princess)

"Cloud... I mean, Alfred..."

"Arrggaahhh!! Curses...... The power of... love!!"

"Oh... look! Love has... triumphed!"

"Cloud..."
"I'm searching for you..."

"............?"

"I want to meet you."

"But I'm right here."

(I know, I know... what I mean is...)
"I want to meet..... you."

"I had fun tonight. Let's go together again."
"You don't like being with me?"

"That's not it."

"I'm glad."
"Next time we come, let's take our time and go on more rides."

Temple of the Ancients

"You must be tired."

"Yeah."

"Just hang in there. Someday we'll look back at these hard times and laugh."

"Looks good. You are perfect for each other!"
"Aeris’ star and Cloud's star! They show a great future!"
"Cloud, I'll be your matchmaker, preacher... I'll do whatever you want me to!"
"You just call me when it all happens!"

Sleeping Forest

"Cloud, can you hear me?"

"Yeah, I hear you. Sorry for what happened."

"Don't worry about it."

"...I can't help it..."

"Then, I'll be going now. I'll come back when it's all over."

City of the Ancients

"I feel it..."

"Aeris is here.
...and so is Sephiroth."

"...It's not an excuse. I feel it in my soul."

"Aeris’ voice...... Coming from there?"

"Aeris is gone."
"Aeris will no longer talk, no longer laugh, cry...... or get angry......"

"What about us...... what are WE supposed to do?"

"What about my pain?"

"My fingers are tingling. My mouth is dry. My eyes are burning!"

Cosmo Canyon (Revisited)

"I remember Aeris a lot."
"No... not that. You haven't remembered. You haven't forgotten. That's not it..."
"How would you say it... Aeris was right there all along. Right by our side."
"She was so close, we couldn't see her. What Aeris did... The words she left behind..."

City of the Ancients (Revisited)

Aeris knew about here... and what she had to do."
"Aeris has left us great hope. But, it cost her her life... her future..."
"I'm sorry... Aeris. I should have figured this out sooner."
"...You left us without saying a word...... It was all so sudden, so I couldn't think..."
"That's why it took so long for me to find out... But, Aeris... I understand now."
"Aeris... I'll do the rest."

Highwind

"......Aeris."
"She was smiling to the end."
"We have to do something, or that smile will just freeze like that."

"Let's all go together."
"Memories of Aeris......"
"Although she should've returned to the planet by now, something stopped her and now she's stuck......"
"We've got to let go of Aeris’ memory."

"I think we all are fighting for ourselves."
"For ourselves... and that someone...
something... whatever it is, that's important to us."
"That's what we're fighting for."
"That's why we keep up this battle for the planet."

"I know why I'm fighting."
"I'm fighting to save the planet, and that's that."
"But besides that, there's something personal too..."
"A very personal memory that I have."

Northern Crater

"Aeris’ memories... Our memories..."
"We came... to tell you... our memories... Come Planet! Show us your answer!"

"...Holy...... Holy... is there......"
"The Holy is shining...... Aeris’ prayer is shining......!"

Highwind (Revisited)

"......I think I'm beginning to understand."

"An answer from the Planet... the Promised Land... I think I can meet her... there."
