FFX - Script - Lake Macalania
[Tidus leaves the Macalania Woods, and heads to another screen; the Lake Macalania that we saw in the sphere. Clasko is tending to a chocobo]
Clasko
"Hi there."
"Would you look at this?"
"They always leave me behind."
[The chocobo warks]
"Oh, you want me to scratch you?"
[The chocobo lowers his head and gets scratched on the neck. It warks contentfully]
"There. Good boy!"
Tidus
"How'd you know what it wanted?"
Clasko
"I've always been able to tell how chocobos feel."
"Maybe I'd make a better chocobo breeder than Chocobo Knight, huh?"
"Hey, what job do you see me doing?"
[Pick between "Chocobo Knight" and "Chocobo Breeder". Let's pick the second one]
"Yeah! I think so too!"
"Hmm... You know, I might just give it a try."
[The group walks some more. Tromell walks up to them]
Tromell
"Lady Yuna, we've been expecting you."
"We were surprised you decided to come so soon."
"Pleasantly surprised, of course."
"Lord Seymour sends his apologies for having left without notice."
Yuna
"It's quite all right."
"I have one question, if I may, sir."
Tromell
"My lady?"
Yuna
"I want to keep journeying, even if I marry."
"Do you think that Maester Seymour would let me?"
Tromell
"But of course, my lady."
"Lord Seymour wishes nothing else, I'm sure."
[Yuna turns, faces the group, and nods]
Yuna
"Goodbye."
[She walks up to Tromell]
Tromell
"Well..."
"We must follow Guado tradition."
"I'll have to ask you to wait here a little while longer."
"I'll send someone to escort you."
[Tromell walks away. She begins to walk, then turns around]
Yuna
"I..."
Auron
"We're all with you. Do as you will."
Yuna
"Thank you."
Auron
[Turns head to face Tidus]
"Sorry."
[Tidus goes "Hmm?"]
"That was your line."
[Tidus runs forward]
Tidus
"Yuna!"
[He whistles. She turns around]
Yuna
"Yessir!"
[Tromell and Yuna walk off screen. Something gets Rikku & the others' attention]
Rikku
"Oh, no!"
Wakka
"Al Bhed!"
[Several Al Bhed on what appear to be jumbo-sized skidoo's encircle Yuna and Tromell. The group jumps off the path to reach them. They run to Yuna and Tromell's side]
Auron
"Stand back."
Tromell
"Thank you!"
[Tromell and Yuna begin to walk away. She removes her hand from his grasp and rejoins the group]
"Lady Yuna!"
[The group is surrounded by Al Bhed, who appear ready to fight. All of a sudden, they run away]
"Rikku!"
[A man is standing on top of a hill of ice. It appears to be the mohawk guy from the Al Bhed ship near the start of the game!]
"Tuh'd ehdanvana un oui kad drec!"
("Don't interfere or you get this!")
[Beside him, a large machina cannon moves up the hill]
"Ouin bnaleuic magic yht aeons yna caymat!"
("Your precious magic and aeons are sealed!")
[He laughs]
Rikku
"Oh, no!"
Tidus
"Translation?"
Rikku
"He's gonna use an anti-magic field on us!"
"Kad dras!"
("Get them!")
[The cannon drops down. Boss fight begins, vs. Crawler. They destroy it]
Tromell
"My lady!"
[Tromell and Yuna walk away. The mohawk guy is still on the hill]
"Rikku!"
"E femm damm Vydran!"
("I will tell Father!")
Rikku
"E ys dra guardian uv Yuna, oui caa?"
"Yuna ec cyva! Fa femm kiynt ran! Cra ec cyva!"
("I am the guardian of Yuna, you see?")
("Yuna is safe! We will guard her! She is safe!")
"Oui tu drec ymuha, cecdan!"
("You do this alone, sister!")
[He runs away. Rikku giggles]
Rikku
"I told him I was a guardian."
"Well, guess I had to, really."
Wakka
"How come you speak Al Bhed?"
"Why?"
[Wakka looks at Tidus and Lulu. Tidus fumbles with his words]
Rikku
"Because I'm Al Bhed. And that...was my brother."
Wakka
"You knew?"
[Tidus and Lulu nod]
"Why didn't you tell me?"
Lulu
"We knew you'd be upset."
Wakka
"This is great."
"I can't believe I've been travelling with an Al Bhed! A heathen!"
Rikku
"You're wrong! We have nothing against Yevon."
Wakka
"But you Al Bhed use the forbidden machina!"
"You know what that means?"
"Sin was born because people used machina!"
Rikku
"You got proof? Show me proof!"
Wakka
"It's in Yevon's teachings! Not that you'd know!"
Rikku
"That's not good enough!"
"Yevon says this, Yevon says that."
"Can't you think for yourself?"
Wakka
"Well, then you tell me!"
"Where did Sin come from, huh?"
Rikku
"I...I don't know!"
[Wakka goes "Hmph"]
Wakka
"You bad mouth Yevon, and that's all you can come up with?"
Rikku
"But..."
"that doesn't mean you should do whatever they say without thinking!"
"Nothing will ever change that way!"
Wakka
"Nothing has to change!"
Rikku
"You want Sin to keep coming back?"
"There might be a way to stop it, you know!"
Wakka
"Sin will be gone once we atone for our past mistakes!"
Rikku
"When? How?"
Wakka
"If we keep faith in Yevon's techings it will be gone one day!"
Rikku
"Why do I even bother?"
Auron
"Rikku!"
"Will this move?"
[He's standing beside one of the big skidoos the Al Bhed left behind. She runs towards it and begins fixing it]
Wakka
"We're not using that, are we?"
"Wait... Sir Auron isn't Al Bhed too, is he?"
Tidus
"Come on, Wakka..."
Wakka
"What?"
Tidus
"I mean, getting angry just 'cause you found out Rikku's an Al Bhed..."
"You guys got along fine till now, didn't you?"
Wakka
"That's different. I mean..."
Tidus
"Well, I don't claim to know that much about Spira."
"And I probably know even less about the Al Bhed, but..."
"I know Rikku's a good person."
"She's just Rikku!"
Wakka
"Lu?"
Lulu
"Just think of this as an oppurtunity to learn more about the Al Bhed."
Wakka
"Ha!"
[Wakka walks away. Tidus begins to follow]
Auron
"Let him go."
"Give him time to think."
Rikku
"I'm sorry."
Lulu
"You've done nothing to apologize for."
Tidus
"All right! Let's ride!"
Rikku
"You sure you know how to drive this?"
[Kimahri flips one over that had previously been upside down. He sits on it, and drives away]
Tidus
"Better than Kimahri does!"
[Tidus sits on one, with Lulu behind him, and they drive away]
Lulu
"I hope that you're not too mad at Wakka."
Tidus
"Hey, not at all."
Lulu
"Thank you."
[They continue riding along]
Tidus
"Say, what do you think of Rikku?"
Lulu
"Me?"
"She's...fun to be with."
Tidus
"That all?"
Lulu
"Well, I can tell she's not a bad person."
Tidus
"Yeah."
"You know what the problem is? She's just another Al Bhed to Wakka."
"Wakka's head is as hard as a rock."
"I bet it's because of Yevon. Or, you know, something like that."
Lulu
"Well, there's more to it than that."
Tidus
"Hmm?"
Lulu
"Wakka doesn't like the Al Bhed because of his brother Chappu."
Tidus
"Oh...he used a machina weapon, right?"
"And got killed by Sin."
[He speaks to himself]
"Killed by my old man."
"Damn you, Jecht."
Lulu
"What?"
Tidus
"Oh, nothing!"
"Hey..."
"Can someone, like, a human become Sin ever?"
Lulu
"I can't say that I know, but why?"
Tidus
"Just a thought."
Lulu
"Sin is the punishment for, and the incarnation of, crimes we have committed."
Tidus
"So, no one really knows what it is?"
Lulu
"There's no need to know, so no one asks."
"You run or you fight. That is really all you can do."
"There's no sense brooding over it."
Tidus
"What, that's all? I mean, you don't even wonder?"
Lulu
"You really do come from a world where there is no Sin, like you say."
[They ride on. They eventually reach the Macalania Temple]
