Cid's speech:
*Scene taken from the Final Fantasy VII complete script, which can be
found here.
Scene 126
- The Cry Of the Planet - That Someone is Us -
(The scene fades in. The entire party is on the bridge of the Highwind;
Barret, Cloud and Tifa stare out the window at the clouds passing by below;
Cid and Cait Sith face their backs; Red XIII looks in another direction,
distant.)
Cloud
Rufus and the others plan was a failure..."
(Cloud walks closer to the window, watching the clouds, shaking his head.
Barret turns to him.)
Barret
"What a bust... But I kinda hoped it'd work."
(Cait Sith slumps.)
Cait Sith
"We been botherin' them as much as we can..."
"But there ain't no other way... Wonder if we've been wrong all
this time?"
(Red XIII turns toward the group, shaking his head.)
Red XIII
"Makes you worry, doesn't it?"
(Tifa turns to the group.)
Tifa
"Don't worry! Think!"
(Cid steps forward.)
Cid
"Hey! The girl's right."
"You start worryin' and there's no stoppin' it! Things just start
fallin' apart and get worse and worse."
(Barret turns to him and thrusts his fist in the air half-heartedly.)
Barret
"You're pretty damn optimistic! You up to somethin'?"
(Cid walks up to him)
Cid
"Yeah, I been thinkin' about this and that."
"All the time we been up here lookin' at the planet."
"I been thinkin' even when we were floatin' in the ocean in that
escape pod."
(Cloud turns away from the window to face the group.)
Cloud
"I've been thinking too. About the universe... planet... ocean."
"How wide and big... No matter where I go and what I do it won't
change a thing."
(Cid turns to him, shaking his head.)
Cid
"Maybe you're right."
(Cloud turns back to the window.)
Cid
"But I came up with something different."
(He turns to face Cait Sith and Red XIII. Cloud, Barret, and Tifa gather
around him.)
Cid
"I always thought this planet was so huge."
"But lookin' at it from space, I realized it's so small."
(He turns to Barret)
Cid
"We're just floatin' in the dark. ......kind of makes you feel
powerless."
"On top of that it's got Sephiroth festerin' inside it like a
sickness."
(He turns, shaking his head.)
Cid
"That's why I say this planet's still a kid."
"A little kid sick and trembling in the middle of this huge
universe."
(He turns to Red XIII.)
Cid
"Someone's gotta protect it."
(He turns to Cloud and Tifa and cocks his head to one side, tapping his
foot.)
Cid
"Ya follow me? That someone is us."
(Tifa steps up to him.)
Tifa
"Cid... that's beautiful."
Barret
"Yo! Cid! You even got to me!"
"So, now what? How're we gonna protect the planet from Meteor?"
(Cid turns to face Cait Sith, then Red XIII, then Tifa. He scratches
his
head. He sits down on the floor, leaning against a control panel.)
Cid
"..................I'm still thinkin' about that."
