     Ah, too bad I'm not a better ASCII artist. Welcome to the Final 
Fantasy VII Script.

     The way I transcribed the different choices ("I don't care / OK, let's 
go," and the like) requires a little bit of explanation:


<CHOICE>
	Do this
	Do that

***Lead character
	Do this

(Here's all the stuff that happens when you do this)

***Lead character
      Do that

(Here's all the stuff that happens when you do that)

<//>

(Here's all the stuff that happens no matter whether you do this or that)


The actual choices are somewhat more interesting.

     If you discover any grammatical errors, misspellings, or typos, or if 
you have a question, comment, or suggestion about the script, I much 
appreciate it if you email me about it so I can try to incorporate it 
into the next versions.

     An enhanced version of this script with HTML formatting, music, and 
screenshots of the entire game is available at my website at

transcribing it. Sit back, plant your finger squarely on that down-arrow

Scene 1
- Presentiment - AVALANCHE -

(Introduction FMV. The camera pans slowly across a starfield for 
several seconds before we see a beautiful young woman looking directly 
at us. Green embers waft upwards around her face. The camera moves to show 
that the embers are generated by a Mako furnace in a dark alley as the 
woman stares into it. After a few moments, she turns and leaves the alley, 
a basket of flowers on one arm, and stops to stand at a street corner. 
Our view of her is momentarily obstructed by a massive train as it
speeds past through the town square. The camera swings outward through 
the dark, dingy square, under a stone arch, and then begins to swing 
upwards. The view moves higher and higher until the entire circular city 
of Midgar comes into view. The Final Fantasy VII logo appears for a few 
moments before the camera begins to swing back down, into a different part 
of a city. A train is pulling into a station in another dark alley. Two 
guards patrol the platform. Jessie flips spectacularly off the train. The
guards attack the intruder only to be knocked out by her skillful hands 
and feet. Barret hops out of the train, turns, and motions for another 
to follow.) 

Barret 
        "C'mon newcomer. Follow me." 

(He runs upstairs. Cloud flips out of the train and follows
him. Two guards come down the stairs down to the train
platform, blocking his path.) 

(Battle sequence with two guards) 

(After the battle, Cloud runs up the stairs and meets the
group - Jessie, Biggs, and Wedge, opening the main gate
to a Mako reactor.) 

Biggs 
         "Wow! You used to be in SOLDIER all right! ...Not
everyday ya find one in a group like AVALANCHE." 

Jessie 
         "SOLDIER? Aren't they the enemy?" 
         "What's he doing with us in AVALANCHE?" 

Biggs 
         "Hold it, Jessie. He WAS in SOLDIER." 
         "He quit them and now is one of us." 
         "Didn't catch your name..." 

(The PLAYER names Cloud) 

Cloud 
         "...Cloud." 

Biggs 
         "Cloud, eh? I'm..." 

Cloud 
        "I don't care what your names are. Once this job's over... I'm 
outta here." 

(Barret comes running up from offscreen.) 

Barret 
         "The hell you all doin'!? I thought I told you never to move in a 
group!" 
         "Our target's the North Mako Reactor. We'll meet on the bridge 
in front of it." 

(The group heads through the gate. Barret stops and turns to face Cloud.) 

         "Ex-SOLDIER, huh? Don't trust ya!" 

(The PLAYER names Barret) 

Barret 
         "If you push the Directional button while pushing the [CANCEL] 
button to run. (earlier marked X)" 

(FMV sequence. The camera swings to show the Shinra headquarters towering 
above as Cloud following Barret through the
gate. Cloud follows the others to the Reactor. Wedge stays on the bridge 
in front of the reactor as the others head inside.) 

Wedge 
         "I'll secure the escape passage. Concentrate on the
mission, Cloud." 
         "Geez, we're really gonna blow this huge furnace
up? This'll be somethin' to see!" 

(Cloud follows the others into the Reactor.) 

Barret 
         "Yo! This your first time in a reactor?" 

Cloud 
         "No. After all, I did work for Shinra, y'know." 

Barret 
         "The planet's full of Mako energy. People here use it
every day." 
         "It's the life blood of the planet. But Shinra keeps suckin' the 
blood out with these machines." 

Cloud 
         "I'm not here for a lecture. Let's just hurry." 

Barret 
         "That's it! You're comin' with me from now on." 

(Barret joins Cloud. The group works through the locked doors deeper 
inside the reactor.) 

Jessie 
         "Biggs and I got the code for this door." 

Biggs 
         "Code deciphered" 

(They go through the door.) 

Biggs 
         "Think how many of our people risked their lives, just for this 
code..." 

Jessie 
         "Code deciphered" 

(They go through the door and work deeper into the reactor. Biggs stays at 
the door. They enter an elevator) 

Jessie 
         "Push that button over there!" 

(Cloud presses the button. The elevator starts moving.) 

Barret 
         "Little by little the reactors'll drain out all the life. And 
that'll be that." 

Cloud 
         "It's not my problem." 

Barret 
         "The planet's dyin', Cloud!" 

Cloud 
         "The only thing I care about is finishin' this job before 
security and the Roboguards come." 

(Barret turns away, shaking with anger, then looks back over his shoulder 
at Cloud and rejoins him. The elevator stops and
Jessie gets off. They continue into the reactor.) 

Jessie 
         "Push the [OK] button in front of a ladder to grab on to it.
After that, use the [Directional button] to move up and down." 

(Jessie stays behind. Cloud continues to the reactor core.) 

Barret 
         "When we blow this place, this ain't gonna be nothin' more
than a hunka junk." 
         "Cloud, you set the bomb." 

Cloud 
         "Shouldn't you do it?" 

Barret 
         "Jus' do it! I gotta watch to make sure you don't pull nothin'." 

Cloud 
         "Fine, be my guest." 

(As Cloud moves to set the bomb, the screen dims and something speaks into 
his mind.) 

         Watch out! 
         This isn't just a reactor!! 

(It stops abruptly.) 

Barret 
         "...What's wrong?" 

Cloud 
         "Huh?" 

Barret 
         "What's wrong, Cloud? Hurry it up!" 

Cloud 
         "Yeah, sorry." 

(Cloud sets the bomb. An alarm begins to sound and red lights
flash.) 

Barret 
         "Heads up, here they come!" 

(Boss battle with Guard Scorpion) 

Cloud 
         "Come on, let's get outta here!" 

         Ten minutes to detonation! 

(They rush back out through the reactor until they meet up with Jessie 
where she had stayed behind. She has one leg caught in the grate she's 
standing on.) 

Cloud 
         "You all right?" 

Jessie 
         "My leg got stuck." 

(Cloud pulls her out.) 

         "Thanks!" 

(They continue to hurry out of the reactor.) 

Biggs 
         "Let's go!" 

Jessie 
         "Code deciphered" 

(They go through the door.) 

Jessie 
         "Alright, be careful." 

Biggs 
        "Code deciphered" 

(They go through the door and exit the reactor. On the way out, Jessie 
falls. Cloud helps her up and they sprint away. FMV sequence. The reactor 
emits a ring of fire as it explodes spectacularly against the night sky.) 



  
  



Scene 2
- Escape From Mako Reactor 7 -

(Cloud, Barret, Biggs, Wedge, and Jessie are in a dark tunnel littered 
with debris and broken metal.) 

Biggs 
         "That should keep the planet going... at least a little longer." 

Wedge 
         "Yeah." 

Barret 
         "........." 

(Jessie plants an explosive against the pile of debris blocking their exit.) 

Jessie 
         "OK! Now everyone get back." 

(They stand back and a wall explodes, opening a way to a courtyard. Wedge's 
butt seems to be on fire.)

Barret 
         "All right, now let's get out of here." 
         "Rendezvous at Sector 8 station! Split up and get on the train!" 

(They all exit except Barret and Cloud.) 

Cloud 
         "H, hey!" 

Barret 
         "If it's about your money save it 'til we're back at the hideout." 

(Barret exits. Cloud goes after him into the streets of Midgar.) 
  
  






Scene 3
- Flower Girl - A Daring Leap -

(A few people are running around a street corner, bumping into a woman 
standing there, knocking her down. She stands up and calmly brushes herself 
off. Cloud enters.) 

Flower girl 
         "Excuse me." 
         "What happened?" 

<CHOICE> 
         You'd better get out of here 
         Nothing... hey, listen... 

***Cloud 
         Nothing... hey, listen... 
         "........." 

<CHOICE> 
         Don't see many flowers around here 
         Never mind 

***Cloud 
         Don't see many flowers around here 

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

<CHOICE> 
         Buy one 
         Forget it 

***Cloud 
         Buy one 

Flower girl 
         "Oh, thank you!" 
         "Here you are!" 
<//> 

(She gives Cloud a flower and walks off. Cloud continues through the 
streets of Midgar.) 

People on the street 
         "Just what the hell's going on!?" 

         "Wonder what that is on the wall over there. Let's see..." 
         Don't be fooled by Shinra! Mako energy doesn't last forever! Mako 
is the planet's lifesource! The end is in sight! 
         Protectors of the planet: AVALANCHE 

(Cloud reaches a dark street. A soldier patrolling the area spots him.) 

Soldier 
         "Hey! You there!" 

Cloud 
         "Shinra soldiers..." 

<CHOICE> 
         Fight them 
         Leave 

Cloud 
         Fight them 

(Three battles with Shinra soldiers. After the third battle, Cloud is 
surrounded) 

Soldier 
         "That's as far as you go." 

Cloud 
         "I don't have time to be messin' around with you guys." 

Soldier 
         "Enough babbling! Grab him!" 

(The soldiers close in. Cloud backs away, but his path is blocked as he 
reaches a railing. Below him are the train tracks. FMV sequence. Cloud 
jumps off the balcony onto the train as it rushes by.) 



  
  



Scene 4
- The Long Ride Home -

(Barret, Wedge, Biggs, and Jessie are riding in a train car littered with 
crates and junk.) 

Wedge 
         "Cloud never came." 

Biggs 
         "Cloud... Wonder if he was killed?" 

Barret 
         "No way!!" 

Jessie 
         "Cloud..." 

(There is thumping on the roof of the car. Barret glances up.) 

Biggs 
         "Say, do you think Cloud's..." 
         "Going to fight to the end for AVALANCHE!?" 

Barret 
         "The hell would I know? Do I look like a mind reader?" 

(He hits a crate with his fist.) 

         "Hmph!! If y'all weren't such screw-ups..." 

Wedge 
         "Hey Barret! What about our money...?" 

(Barret hits the crate again.) 

Wedge 
         "Uh, nothin'... sorry." 
         "Ahh......." 

(The train door opens and Cloud flips into the car from above.) 

Biggs 
         "Cloud!!" 
Jessie 
         "Cloud..." 
Wedge 
         "Cloud!!" 

Cloud 
         "Looks like I'm a little late." 

Barret 
         "You damn right, you're late!!" 
         "Come waltzin' in here makin' a big scene!" 

Cloud 
         "It's no big deal. Just what I always do." 

Barret 
         "Shi't!" 
         "Havin' everyone worried like that you don't give a damn 'bout no 
one but yourself!" 

Cloud 
         "Hmm..... You were worried about me!" 

Barret 
         "Wha!?" 
         "I'm takin' it outta your money, hot stuff!" 

(He walks to the center of the car.) 

Barret 
         "Wake up!" 
         "We're movin' out! Follow me!" 

(He exits the front of the car.) 

Wedge 
         "Hey, Cloud! You were great back there!" 

(He exits.) 

Biggs 
         "Heh heh.... Cloud! We'll do even better next time." 

(He exits.) 

Jessie 
         "Be careful, I'll shut this." 

(She closes the train door.) 

         "Oh, Cloud! Your face is pitch-black....." 

(She wipes his face.) 

         "There you go!" 
         "Say, thanks for helping me back there at the Reactor!" 

(She exits. Cloud follows.) 
  

(The train intercom comes on.) 

         Last train out of Sector 8 Station. Last stop is Sector 7, Train 
Graveyard. Expected time of arrival is 12:23 AM, Midgar standard time... 

(Barret and the others come into the next car and sit down. They disturb a 
well-dressed, official looking man.) 

         "This is why I hate the last train. Hoo-boy..." 

(He leaves.) 

People on the train 

         "Huh? This is my house, so make yourselves at home." 

         "You see the headlines in the Shinra Times?" 
         "The terrorists that bombed the No. 1 Reactor are based somewhere 
in the slums." 
         "...blowing up a Reactor... they sure put some thought into this 
one." 
         "They must have a real calculating leader. I wonder what they'll 
do next?" 

Barret 
         "Stop actin' like a damn kid. Si'down an' shu'up!" 

Wedge 
         "Someday AVALANCHE's gonna be famous ...and me, too!" 

Biggs 
         "It seems this train hasn't switched to security mode yet." 
         "I'm sure that will change by tomorrow." 

Jessie 
         "Hey, Cloud. You want to look at this with me?" 
         "It's a map of the Midgar Rail System. Let's look at it
together. I'll explain it to you." 
         "I like this kinda stuff. Bombs and monitors... you know,
flashy stuff." 

(They look at the map.) 

Jessie 
         "Okay, it's about to start." 

(A wireframe of Midgar is shown on the map.) 

         "This is a complete model of the city of Midgar." 
         "It's about a 1/10000 scale." 
         "The top plate is about 50 meters above ground." 
         "A main support structure holds the plate up in the center, and 
there are other support structures built in each section..." 
         "psst... whisper... whisper... (The No. 1 Reactor we blew up was 
in the northern section.)" 
         "Then there's No. 2, No. 3 all the way up to the No. 8 Reactor." 
         "The 8 Reactors provide Midgar with electricity." 
         "Each town used to have a name, but no one in Midgar remembers 
them." 
         "Instead of names, we refer to them by numbered sectors. That's 
the kind of place this is." 
         "Phew..., this is next! Look." 

(A dotted line appears on the Midgar wireframe.) 

         "This is the route the train is on." 
         "The route spirals around the main support structure." 
         "We should be coming around the center area, right now." 
         "At each checkpoint, an ID sensor device is set up." 
         "It can check the identities and background on each and every 
passenger on the train by linking it up to the central databank at Shinra 
headquarters." 
         "whisper... whisper... (Anyone could tell that we look 
suspicious, so we're using fake ID's.)" 

(A red light starts flashing.) 

Jessie 
         "Speak of the devil..." 
         "That light means we're in the ID Security Check area." 
         "whisper... whisper... (When the lights go off, you never know 
what kind of creeps'll come out.)" 
         "...anyhow, we're almost back now. That's a relief." 

Biggs 
         "...snore.... heebeebeeheebee... snore... (Don't act so damn big, 
Barret... snooze...)" 

Barret 
         "Look... you can see the surface now. This city don't have no 
day or night." 
         "If that plate weren't there... we could see the sky." 

(Cloud looks out the window.) 

Cloud 
         "A floating city... Pretty unsettling scenery." 

(Barret gets up.) 

Barret 
         "Huh?" 
         "Never expect to hear that outta someone like you." 
         "...you jes' full of surprises." 

Barret 
         "The upper world... a city on a plate..." 
         "It's 'cuz of that &^#$# 'pizza', that people underneath are 
sufferin'!" 
         "And the city below is full of polluted air." 
         "On topa that, the Reactor keeps drainin' up all the energy." 

Cloud 
         "Then why doesn't everyone move onto the plate?" 

Barret 
         "Dunno. Probably 'cuz they ain't got no money. Or, maybe..." 
         "'Cuz they love their land, no matter how polluted it gets." 

Cloud 
         "I know... no one lives in the slums because they want to." 
         "It's like this train. It can't run anywhere except where its 
rails take it." 

(FMV sequence. The train circles the support structure on its way to 
Sector 7. The train arrives at the station and everyone gets off) 

Barret 
         "Yo!! Get over here, all' ya!!" 

(Everyone gathers around Barret.) 

Barret 
         "This mission was a success. But don't get lazy now." 
         "The hard part's still to come! Don't y'all be scared of that 
explosion!" 
         "'Cause the next one's gonna be bigger than that!" 
         "Meet back at the hideout!! Move out!" 

(All exit.) 






  
  
Scene 5
- The Reactor Tower -

People at the train station 

         "I'm not letting you go tonight." 

         "Wow!" 

         "Isn't there somewhere we could go to be alone?" 

         "There's only the train graveyard around here. And they say 
there's ghosts around too!" 

         "...damn." 

         "What?" 

Person near Reactor Tower 

         "Hey now! ...Oops!" 
         "What on earth are you doing? Just butt out... geez!" 
         "Huh? You come to see it, too?" 
         "There was a bombing on top. If this pillar should come down, 
everyone in the slums is dust..." 
         "Well, there's no point in worryin' about that." 
         "Hey! Look! It's huge, ain't it?" 

(Cloud looks up at the massive steel tower.) 

         "Hey... This is a strange and wonderful place." 
         "This is my place, but you can come here when you want.
Bye, bro!" 

(He leaves.) 

Barret 

         "Yo. Cloud! Over here, now!" 
  
  
  



Scene 6
-Welcome Home, Cloud! - A Childhood Promise -

(Barret runs into Tifa's bar, the Seventh Heaven, and chases all the 
patrons out. Biggs, Wedge, and Jessie go inside.) 

Barret 
         "Ok! Go on ahead." 

(If Cloud waits around outside) 

         "Yo! Cloud!! Get off your slow-movin' ass!" 

(Cloud enters the Seventh Heaven.) 

(Marlene jumps up.) 

         "Papa!" 

(She sees Cloud and hides in the corner. Tifa goes over to her) 

         "Marlene! Aren't you going to say anything to Cloud?" 

(She walks over to Cloud.) 

         "Welcome home, Cloud. Looks like everything went well." 
         "Did you fight with Barret?" 

<CHOICE> 
         Yeah 
         Not this time 

***Cloud 
         Yeah 

Tifa 
         "I should have known." 
         "He's always pushing people around, and you've always been in 
fights ever since you were little." 
         "I was worried." 

***Cloud 
         Not this time 

Tifa 
         "Hmm. You've grown up." 
         "When you were little you used to get into fights at the drop of 
a hat." 
<//> 

(The PLAYER names Tifa) 

Tifa 
         "Flowers? How nice..." 
         "You almost never see them here in the slums." 
         "But..." 
         "A flower for me? Oh Cloud, you shouldn't have..." 

Cloud 
         "No big." 

<CHOICE> 
         Give it to Tifa 
         Give it to Marlene 

***Cloud 
         Give it to Tifa 

Tifa 
         "Thank you, Cloud. It smells wonderful." 
         "Maybe I should fill the store with flowers." 

***Cloud 
         Give it to Marlene 

(Marlene grabs it and hides behind Tifa) 
<//> 

People in the bar 

Tifa 
         "Sorry, Cloud. Marlene seems a little shy." 

Marlene 
         "............" 

Wedge 
         "Oh. Cloud!" 
         "Tifa realls knows how to cook. Mmm, mmm......." 
         "Anyway, let me tell you somethin'." 

<CHOICE> 
         About what? 
         I'm not interested in your stories 

***Cloud 
         About what? 

Wedge 
         "Tifa always lets me taste her cooking." 
         "And look at me now, I'm rolly-polly." 
         "Don't know whether I should be happy or sad. But it's the good 
food and drinks that make this shop famous." 

***Cloud 
         I'm not interested in your stories 

Wedge 
         "Cloud...... ........forget it." 
<//> 

Jessie 
         "Careless..... You're getting all excited." 
         "Wonder what for.....?" 

Biggs 
         "Aah!! Nothin' like that first drink after a job." 
         "Hic!!" 
         "Why don't you have one too?" 

<CHOICE> 
         No 
         Yeah, why not? 

***Cloud 
         No 

Biggs 
         "What!? you tellin' me you're too good to drink with me?" 
         "Don't act big-headed jus' because you were in SOLDIER!" 

***Cloud 
         Yeah, why not? 

Biggs 
         "Oh!! That's more like it!" 
         "Even if you were with SOLDIER, you're still a rookie here. So 
you'd better listen to whatever I tell ya!" 

Biggs 
         "Hic...!!" 
         "Oh..... Don't tell Barret what I jus said." 
<//> 

(Cloud tries to exit, but Barret crashes into the bar.) 

Marlene 
         "Papa, welcome home!" 

(Barret lifts her up on his shoulder.) 

<If you gave the flower to Marlene> 

Barret 
         "Yeah." 
         "Huh? Where'd you get that flower?" 

Marlene 
         "Cloud gave it to me." 

Barret 
         "Oh...." 

Barret 
         "Did you thank him?" 

Marlene 
         ".........." 
         "Thank you, Cloud." 
         "We'll take care of you." 
<//> 

Tifa 
         "You all right, Barret?" 

Barret 
         "Great!!" 
         "Get in here, fools!! We're startin' the meetin'!!" 

(He descends a hidden elevator in a pinball machine. Everyone follows but 
Cloud and Tifa. Cloud walks to the bar.) 

Tifa 
         "Sit down." 

(He sits.) 

Tifa 
         "How about..." 
         "...something to drink?" 

<CHOICE> 
         I don't feel like it 
         Give me something hard 

***Cloud 
         Give me something hard 

Tifa 
         "Just a minute. I'll make one for you." 

(She mixes Cloud a drink.) 

Tifa 
         "You know, I'm relieved you made it back safely." 

Cloud 
         "What's with you all of a sudden? That wasn't even a tough job." 

Tifa 
         "I guess not..." 
         "You were in SOLDIER." 

(Cloud sets down his drink.) 

Tifa 
         "Make sure you get your pay from Barret." 

Cloud 
         "Don't worry. Once I get that money, I'm outta here." 

***Cloud 
         I don't feel like it 

Tifa 
         "OHH!!" 
         "I can make a drink just as good as anyone else." 
         "Everyone says, my drinks taste the best!" 

<//> 

(Cloud gets up from the bar.) 

Tifa 
         "Cloud, are you feeling all right?" 

Cloud 
         "...yeah... Why?" 

Tifa 
         "No reason. You just look a little tired I guess." 
         "You'd better go down below." 

(Cloud walks to the elevator in the pinball machine and goes down. 
Everyone is busy downstairs. Barret is punching a bag.)

People downstairs 

Wedge 
         "You think I'm a litte too uptight?" 

<CHOICE> 
         Yeah... 
         No... 

***Cloud 
         Yeah... 

Wedge 
         "The next mission will be to blow up the Sector 5 Reactor." 
         "Cloud, you're great! Don't you ever get nervous?" 
         "Or are you like, impervious to feelings? Naw, that couldn't be 
it." 

***Cloud 
         No... 

Wedge 
         "Well, that's ok. Don't worry about me. I don't look like it, 
but I'm a coward at heart." 

<//> 

(Jessie is working on the computer) 

Jessie 
         "Oops..." 
         "Hey, look at the news... What a blast." 
         "Think it was all because of my bomb? But all I really did was 
just make it like the computer told me." 
         "Oh no! I must've made a miscalculation somewhere." 
  

Barret 
         "Yo. Cloud! There's somethin' I wanna ask ya." 
         "Was there anyone from SOLDIER fighting us today?" 

Cloud 
         "None. I'm positive." 

Barret 
         "You sound pretty sure." 

Cloud 
         "If there was anyone from SOLDIER you wouldn't be standing here 
now." 

Barret 
         "Don't go thinkin' you so bad jes cuz you was in SOLDIER." 

Cloud 
         "......." 

Barret 
         "Yeah, you're strong." 
         "Probably all them guys in SOLDIER are." 
         "But don't forget your skinny ass's working for AVALANCHE now!" 
         "Don't get no ideas 'bout hangin' on to Shinra." 

Cloud 
         "Stayin' with Shinra?" 
         "You asked me a question and I answered it... that's all." 
         "I'm going upstairs. I want to talk about my money." 
  

Barret 
         "Shucks!! ........money...." 

Marlene 
         "Papa. you're so great!" 
  

(Cloud moves to leave. Tifa runs in.) 

Tifa 
         "Wait, Cloud!" 

Barret 
         "Tifa! Let him go!" 
         "Looks like he still misses the Shinra!" 

Cloud 
         "Shut up!" 
         "I don't care about either Shinra or SOLDIER!" 
          "But don't get me wrong!" 
         "I don't care about AVALANCHE or the Planet for that matter!" 
  

Tifa 
         "Straighten things up with everyone for me." 

Television 
         ......today the No.1 Reactor was bombed. The terrorist group 
AVALANCHE has claimed responsibility for the bombing. 
         It is expected that AVALANCHE will continue its reign of terror. 
         But citizens of Midgar.... there is no need to fear. 
         I have immediately mobilized SOLDIER to protect our citizenry 
against this senseless violence. Thank you and good night. 

Wedge 
         "...Cloud." 
         "You say you don't care, but you came to talk to me." 
         "Cloud.... you just want friends." 
         "Isn't that right?" 

<CHOICE> 
         Blow off 
         I really don't care 

***Cloud 
         Blow off 

Wedge 
         "Yeah, well. You look kind of lonely to me." 
         If you ever got anything you want to get off your chest, you can 
always talk to me." 

***Cloud 
         I really don't care 

Wedge 
         "You're terrible. Real cold blooded." 
<//> 

(Cloud goes back up the elevator and goes to leave. He is followed by Tifa.) 

Tifa 
         "Listen, Cloud. I'm asking you. Please join us." 

Cloud 
         "Sorry Tifa..." 

Tifa 
         "The Planet is dying. Slowly but surely it's dying." 
         "Someone has to do something." 

Cloud 
         "So let Barret and his buddies do something about it." 
         "It's got nothin' to do with me." 

(He moves to leave) 

Tifa 
         "So! You're really leaving!?" 
         "You're just going to walk right out ignoring your childhood 
friend!?" 

Cloud 
         "What......?" 

<CHOICE> 
         How can you say that! 
     ...Sorry 

***Cloud 
         How can you say that! 

***Cloud 
         ...Sorry 

<//> 

Tifa 
         "You forgot the promise, too." 

Cloud 
         "Promise?" 

(Tifa looks down.) 

Tifa 
         "So you DID forget." 
         "Remember.... Cloud. It was seven years ago..." 

(Cloud looks up. The scene fades to black. It fades in again; Cloud and 
Tifa are standing by a well. The sky is full of stars.) 

Tifa 
         "Look, the well." 
         "Do you remember?" 

(Cloud nods.) 

Cloud 
         "Yeah.... back then." 

         "I thought you would never come, and I was getting a little
cold." 
  

(The scene changes. Cloud and Tifa, as children, appear. Cloud is
sitting swinging his legs on the well cover. Tifa enters from
offscreen.) 

Tifa 
         "Sorry I'm late." 

(She sits down.) 

Tifa 
         "You said you wanted to talk to me about something?" 

Cloud 
         "Come this spring.... I'm leaving this town for Midgar." 

Tifa 
         "........All boys are leaving our town." 

Cloud 
         "But I'm different from all of them. I'm not just going to find a 
job." 

(He stands.) 

         "I want to join SOLDIER." 

         "I'm going to be the best there is, just like Sephiroth." 

Tifa 
         "Sephiroth.... The Great Sephiroth." 

(Cloud climbs to the top of the well and looks at the stars.) 

Tifa 
         "Isn't it hard to join SOLDIER?" 

Cloud 
         "...I probably wont be able to come back to this town for a
while." 

(Tifa makes a motion.) 

Cloud 
         "...huh?" 

Tifa 
         "Will you be in the newspapers if you do well?" 

Cloud 
         "I'll try." 

Tifa 
         "Hey, why don't we make a promise?" 
         "Umm, if you get really famous and I'm ever in a bind....." 
         "You come save me, all right?" 

Cloud 
         "What?" 

Tifa 
         "Whenever I"m in trouble, my hero will come and rescue me." 
         "I want to at least experience that once." 

Cloud 
         "What?" 

Tifa 
         "Come on--! Promise me----!" 

Cloud 
         "All right.... I promise." 

(The camera pans up to show the starry night sky. A falling star streaks 
its white trail across the dark blue.) 
  
  

(Back at the Seventh Heaven.) 

Tifa 
         "You remember now? ...Our promise?" 

Cloud 
         "I'm not a hero and I'm not famous. I can't keep.... the promise." 

Tifa 
         "But you got your childhood dream, didn't you? You joined SOLDIER." 

(Cloud looks down.) 

Tifa 
         "So come on! You've got to keep your promise......" 

(Barret climbs up the elevator.) 

Barret 
         "Wait a sec big-time SOLDIER!" 
         "A promise is a promise! Here!!" 

(He tosses Cloud 1500 Gil.) 

Cloud 
         "This is my pay? Don't make me laugh." 

Tifa 
         "What? Then you'll...!!" 

Cloud 
         "You got the next mission lined up? I'll do it for 3000." 

Barret 
         "What....!?" 

(Tifa whispers to him.) 

Tifa 
         "It's ok, it's ok." 
         "psst, psst..... (We're realy hurting for help, right?)" 

Barret 
         "Uh..... ugh..... (That money's for Marlene's schoolin'......)" 

(Barret turns.) 

Barret 
         "2000!" 

(Tifa walks to Cloud.) 

Tifa 
         "Thanks, Cloud." 



  
  



Scene 7
- The Morning After - Sector 7 -

(The scene changes to Tifa's bar, the next morning. Cloud goes up the 
elevator. Tifa and Barret are standing, Marlene is mixing drinks.) 

Tifa 
         "Good Morning! Cloud!" 
         "Did you sleep well?" 

<CHOICE> 
         Barret's snoring kept me up...... 
         Next to you, who wouldn't? 

***Cloud 
         Barret's snoring kept me up.... 

Tifa 
         "psstpsst..." 
         "(keep it down, they'll hear you. Barret's always edgy before an 
operation.)" 

***Cloud 
         Next to you, who wouldn't? 

Tifa 
         "I don't know what you mean." 
<//> 

Tifa 
         "I'm going this time." 

Barret 
         "Our target's the Sector 5 Reactor. Head for the station first." 
         "I'll fill you in on the train." 

Barret 
         "Yo! Cloud!" 
         "Before the next mission, I got somethin' I wanna ask you!" 
         "I, uh,..... I don't really know how to use Materia!" 
         "I'll give you that Materia you found. Just teach me how to use 
it!" 

Cloud 
         "...sigh..." 

<CHOICE> 
         Ok, I'll explain it 
         You wouldn't understand 

***Cloud 
         Ok, I'll explain it 

(Cloud explains the Materia system.) 

         Sure. I'll explain how Materia works. 
         First, access the menu. 
         You know the basic functions. 
         The triangle button brings up the menu. 
         Directional buttons move the cursor. Like this. 
         Select each menu by  using the OK button. 
         If you want to leave the menu, 
         just push the CANCEL cutton. 
         See? Let's go ahead. 
         Now you're in this menu. 
         Select [Materia] sub menu. 
         Select who you want to use it. 
         Now look at my weapon here. 
         Each weapon and armor has slots in it. 
         Choose which slot you want to put Materia in. 
         Now select the Materia you want to use. 
         This is curative Materia. 
         If you want to know what its effect is, 
         line the cursor up with [Check], 
         and push the OK button. 
         It's just like selecting battle commands. 
         Just line the cursor up to [Magic], 
         you can see that the available magic has increased. 
         Now you can use new magic [Cure]. 
         And that's all there is to equipping Materia. 
         See? It wasn't that tough! 
         When you want to remove any Materia, 
         it's as easy as pointing to the materia slot, 
         and pushing the triangle button. 
         There's just one thing you have to be careful of. 
         Whenever you equip Materia, 
         your situation changes. 
         Parts of you may become stronger... 
         while others get weaker. 
         Normally, when you equip [Magic] Materia, 
         your magic power will get stronger. 
         But your physical strength weakens. 
         So, Materia's kind of a double'edged sword. 
         On the left side of the screen, 
         you can see the Materia's effect on you. 
         It's wise not to overuse Magic Materia. 
         But try out various things. 
         Push the CANCEL button to exit the sub menu. 
         Ok, that's about it. 
         I'll give you some advanced tips later. 
  
Barret 
         "Shi....! What's this 'It wasn't that tough' crap!" 
         "I'm clueless......" 
         "Well, you handle the Materia then!" 

***Cloud 
         You wouldn't understand 

Barret 
        "So this is what makes them guys in SOLDIER so great, huh!?" 
         "Ok, I'll ask Jessie again later. But you're in charge of the 
Materia!" 
<//> 

 [Materia System] Access the menu and select [Materia] to equip Materia. 

Tifa 
         "Cloud! I got a message from the Weapon Shop man upstairs." 
         "He has something he wants to give you. Don't forget!" 

         "Marlene, you watch the store while we're gone!" 

Marlene 
         "All right! Good Luck." 
  
(Cloud explores Sector 7.) 

Johnny 
         "I'm leaving. Goin' faraway. But when I come back I'll be a better 
man! This is goodbye!" 
         "Hey! Childhood friend! You better take good care of Tifa!" 

(He exits.) 

People in Sector 7 

         "Ah... Johnny's gone. You look a little disappointed." 
         "I don't like to say it myself but, I'm just a lonely guy when
I'm not drinking." 

         "I hope he doesn't get hurt." 
         "That worries me the most." 

         "Yesterday, everyone in town was peeking at the two of you
from outside the bar." 
         "Tifa's childhood friend. That's a good one!" 

         "Ahh! Now I ain't got no one to pick on!" 

         "He used to give us nothing but headaches when he was
here, but now that he's gone.... I kind of miss him." 
         "......strange, isn't it?" 

         "Ha! Ha!..... I wonder if my son's already left?" 
         "When it's just my wife and I here, you have no idea how lonesome 
it gets." 

         "Listen! If there isn't anyone to listen, what's the use of 
getting gossip on everyone?" 
         "Yeah, and you Mr. I-don't-care!" 
         "I'll get a little more information that would pique even your 
interest. You wait and see!" 

         "You dried up old geez. You tired?" 
         "Why don't you rest up on the third floor of my house? 
         "There's just one condition." 
         "You gotta give me some cash." 
         <1 gil>  "Damn, man!! Just forget about it!" 
         <10 gil> "Oh man, oh man..." 
         "Go ahead and help yourself to the room." 
         "Use whatever bed you want. Sleep tight, old guy." 
         <nothin'> "Cheap %#*^......" 
         <If you go in bedroom without paying> "This is a slum, so don't 
think you can stay for free." 
         "What are you going to do?" 
         "Doesn't just seeing the bed make you sleepy?" 
         <10 gil> "Sweet dreams, pops." 
         <no way> "Tough guy, huh!? You better sleep when you
can." 
         "You'd better save when you can." 
         "That's the trick to being tough. Remember that, old dude." 

         "This is the Beginner's Hall." 
         "You say you're a beginner? But your eyes say you're not." 

Cloud 
         "Don't mess with me. I used to be in SOLDIER. I'll tell you
how much I know.... an' for free too!" 
         <Cloud gives a tutorial here> 

         <pick up an "All" Materia> 
         "Hey! You got one right off!" 
         "That was Materia. Next, take this [treasure chest]!" 

         "This is the fabled [Save Point]!!" 
         "At a [Save Pont] you can use a [tent] and/or select *SAVE*." 
         "There's more, too. Look for something called secret." 
         "Even if you are wiped out, if you save you can restart from that 
same point." 
         "That way you don't have to worry when you've been wiped out." 
         "This is jumping ahead a little but, when you leave Midgar..." 
         "Once you get the world map, you can save anywhere you like. 
Remember that." 
         That should be all you need to know about the Save Point. 
         I'll probably see you again somewhere on the road. 
         Take care! 
         I'm a [treasure chest]!! Beginners make sure and keep an eye out 
for me!! 

(Two kids fighting) 
Cloud 
         "You've got to hang in there. Your limit gauge is just starting 
to build." 
         "Waaah!" 
Cloud 
         "OK! Now your limit gauge is full, go ahead and use it! Fight 
with your limit techinique." 
(The kid wins the fight.) 
         "Great!" 

(Two kids fighting) 
         "Magic! Magic!" "Help!" 
Cloud 
         "Calm down! When your enemy uses magic counter with [Magic 
Barrier] or [reflect]." 
         "[Magic Barrier] reduces the damage recieved from magic by half." 
         "[Reflect] bounces the attacks off you. But the number of times 
you can use it is limited so be careful." 
(The kid wins the fight.) 
         "Great!" 

(Two kids fighting) 
         "Wow! You sure are strong! I'm going to be strong, too!" 
         "Me too!" 
Cloud 
         "If you want to get as stong as me you need to use Materia." 
         "And you have to find the best combinations of them." 
         "The type of Materia you put in your weapons and armor will 
determine how quickly your Materia grows." 
         "Put Materia into the open slots in your weapons and armor. The 
possible combinations are limitless." 
         "That's about all I can tell you. If you want to be like me, you 
have to have some natural talent." 
        (kids) "I still don't get it!" 
Cloud 
         "Listen kid, don't piss me off!" 
         "That's all right. Just give it a try. Little by little, you'll 
get used to it." 

         "Hey SOLDIER! Tell us about battles! We'll even pay you!" 
Cloud 
         "I'm not hard up enough to take money from guys like you. But 
I'll rap with you for a while." 
        <Cloud gives battle tutorial here> 

         "Heh heh... He'll forget about it. OH, you!" 
         "Get my friend on the second floor to teach ya." 

         "He, HEY! Waitaminit you!!" 
         "You can't just walk outta here without buyin' somethin'...." 
         "Might be unhealthy fer ya, if ya know what I mean." <sells 
weapons> 

         "Ahh... Another slow day..." 
         "If this keeps up, this store's goin' under...." 
         "Can't sell any really good medicine in a slum like this." 
         "Oh!! Look at this! This doesn't happen everyday. You a....... 
customer?" 
         "Yes!! Welcome!! We sell! We buy!" 



  
  



Scene 8
- The Train - A Narrow Escape -

(Cloud arrives at the train station. Biggs, Wedge, and Jessie are waiting 
there.) 

People at the station 

         "I've had it!" 

         "Me too." 

         "You know this is the first time we've ever agreed on something." 

         "Yes..." 

         "Well then, shall we.....?" 

         "Yes......" 

 (They snog.) 

(Cloud approaches the train and eveyone gets on.) 

Barret 
         "YO!" 
         "Looks like this ain't no private car! So split up!" 

(They meet the well-dressed Shinra manager again.) 

         "....hoodlums again. God, don't I just have all the luck..." 

Barret 
         "You say sumthin'?" 
         "I said, 'you say sumthin'!?" 

(Barret walks over to the man.) 

Barret 
         "Yo, look at that! It got empty alluva sudden." 
         "What's goin' on?" 

         "DAMN!" 
         "I... it's empty because of... g, guys like you..." 

(Barret smacks him.) 

         "Y, Y, YIPES!!" 
         "You... you've seen the news, right? AVALANCHE says there'll be 
more bombings." 
         "Only devoted employees like me would go to Midgar on a day like 
today." 

Barret 
         "You workin' for Shinra?" 

Shinra Manager 
         "I won't give in to violence..." 

Tifa 
         "Barret!!" 

Barret 
         "&$#%!! You lucky ^$#$,!" 

(Barret and Tifa run to the back of the car.) 

Cloud 
         "So, what are we going to do now?" 

Barret 
         "Shit! the hell you so calm about? you bustin up my rhythm..." 

(The train starts moving.) 

Tifa 
         "Seems like they just finished connecting the cars. We're finally 
leaving."

Cloud 
         "So what's our next target?" 

Barret 
         "Hah! Listen to Mr. Serious-about-his-work!" 
         "Awright.... I'll tell ya!" 
         "Jessie's probably already told you, but there's a security
check point at the top plate." 
         "It's an ID scan system checkin' all the trains." 

Tifa 
         "Which Shinra is very proud of." 

Barret 
         "We can't use our fake ID's anymore..." 

(The train intercom comes on.) 

         Good Morning, and welcome to  Midgar Lines. Arrival time at 
Sector 4 station will be 11:45. 

Tifa 
         "That means we've only got three more minutes to the ID Check 
point." 

(Barret runs forward.) 

Barret 
         "Alright, in three minutes, we're jumpin' off this train." 
         "Got it!?" 

(He sits.) 

Tifa 
         "Cloud, come over here! Let's look at the Railway Map Monitor." 
  

People on the Train 

         "Hmm....? You're the only ones that'll talk to me or come to my 
house." 
         "I'm impressed." 

Shinra Manager 
         "Waaaaah!!" 
         "Don... don't worry about me. (oh man, oh man, oh man...!! I'm 
gonna brag to everyone at work about this...)" 
  

(Cloud looks at the map with Tifa.) 

Tifa 
         "Hmm, it looks like you've seen this already..." 
         "It's all right. Come a little closer." 

(A red light starts flashing.) 

Tifa 
         "That's odd. The ID Check Point was supposed to be further down." 
  

         Type A Security Alert!!! 
         Unidentified passengers confirmed... A search of all cars will be 
conducted! 
         Repeat!! Type A Security Alert!! 
         Unidentified passengers confirmed... A search of all cars will be 
conducted! 

Tifa 
         "What's happening?" 

Barret 
         "What's goin' on!!" 

(Jessie rushes in.) 

Jessie 
         "We're in trouble." 
         "I'll explain later. Hurry! Get to the next car!" 

Barret 
         "^%#@%! Someone blew it..." 

         Unidentified passengers located in Car #1 
         Preparing for Lock Down 

Barret 
         "Let's go! Keep it up!" 

(They rush to the next car.) 

         Car #1: Locked Down 
         Upgrading to Level 2 warning 

Biggs 
         "Hurry!" 

Wedge 
         "They're gonna lock the door, sir!" 

         Unidentified passengers located in Car #2 
         Preparing for Lock Down 

Jessie 
         "Just run!" 
         "Changing to Plan 2!" 

People in Car #2 

         "Gosh! You're adults but you're making such noise!" 
         "Please behave while on the train!" 

         "Does this mean we're in a major bind?" 

(They rush to the next car.) 

         Car #2: Locked Down 
         Upgrading to Warning Level 3 

(The light stops flashing.) 

Barret 
         "Awright! We clear!?" 

Jessie 
         "Not yet. They're starting another search. If we're caught, we're 
done for!" 
         "But, don't worry. If we move up the train, car by car, we should 
get past it!" 

(Jessie breaks her way out. Light starts flashing again.) 

         Unidentified Passengers: 
         Moving to front of Train 
         Currently tracking location 

People on the train 

         "Hee hee!" 

Johnny 
         "Later... goodbye... adios, Midgar!" 

(They reach Car #4.) 

         Car #4: Locked Down 
         Upgrading to maximum security alert!! 

(Barret runs to the front of the car.) 

Barret 
         "All right!! We made it!" 
         "Yo! This way!!" 

(He opens the door of the train.) 

         "Let's go!! We're gonna dive outta here!!" 

Tifa 
         "Scary... huh." 

Cloud 
         "Too late to be saying that now. Why'd you come along anyway?" 

Tifa 
         "Because..." 

Barret 
         "Hey you two! There ain't no time for that!" 

(They get ready to jump.) 

People in Car #4 

(Jessie is disguised as a Shinra soldier) 

Jessie 
         "It's me, Jessie. How do I look, Cloud?" 
         "Do I look good in a Shinra uniform?" 

<yeah...> 
Cloud 
         "You look great, just like a man." 

Jessie 
         "Yay!! I'm so happy.... I think?" 

<Not now> 
Cloud 
         "Just concentrate on our plan." 

Jessie 
         "You're right, sorry." 
  <//> 

Tifa 
         "Yeah!! I've made up my mind." 
         "Watch closely. I'm gonna jump!" 

(She does so.) 

Cloud 
         "You don't care if I go first?" 

Barret 
         "A leader always stays till the end." 
         "Don't worry 'bout me, just go!" 

(Cloud moves to the door.) 

         "Yo! Don't go gettin' your spikey-ass hurt!" 
         "It's only the beginnin' of the mission!" 

(Cloud jumps.) 

Barret 
         "Later! You take care of the rest!" 

(Barret jumps.) 



  
  



Scene 9
- Reactor #5 - President Shinra -

(Cloud, Barret, and Tifa land in an underground subway.) 

Barret 
         "Good, so far everything's going as planned." 

(He walks down a bit.) 

         "Better not let your guard down till we get to the Sector 5 
reactor." 
         "Biggs, Wedge, and Jessie got everything ready for us. So MOVE it." 
         "Well, the reactor's just down this tunnel!" 

(They walk down the tunnel, until they reach a grid of laser beams crossing 
the tunnel.) 

Cloud 
         "Those light beams are the Shinra's security sensors. We can't go 
any further." 

(They see a ventilation duct in the wall.) 

Barret 
         "That's one damn tiny hole. You tellin' me to squeeze into that 
to get under the Plate? No way!" 
         "Yo, Cloud, what're we gonna do?" 

<CHOICE> 
         Look inside closely 
         Go down 
         Don't go down 

***Cloud 
         Look inside closely 

Tifa 
         "There seems to be nothing that'll get us stuck in this duct." 

Cloud 
         "Yeah. If we go down this duct, we won't be able to come back up 
here." 

Barret 
         "Don't be wastin' time. Never know when the Shinra'll find us." 
         "Cloud, you jes' gotta go." 

<CHOICE> 
         Go down 
         Don't go down 
(Same results as from the previous menu.) 

***Cloud 
         Go down 

Barret 
         "But, damn man, that thing gives me the chills." 

(They climb into the duct.) 

***Cloud 
         Don't go down 

Barret 
         "Whaddya mean we're not goin' in? There ain't no other way
of gettin' to the Sector 5 reactor 'cept through here." 

<//> 
  
  
  

(Cloud, Barret, and Tifa enter the ventilation ducts and work their way 
into the Reactor. Along the way they meet Wedge, Jessie and Biggs.) 

Wedge 
         "Cloud, this way. The reactor's up this ladder." 

Jessie 
         "I'm sorry." 
         "The ID scan problem on the train was all my fault." 
         "I made your ID card special... So that's why it happened." 
         "I put my heart into making it. But I failed." 

(She shakes her head.) 

Jessie 
         "Next time, I'll give you something more decent." 
         "I'll be back at the hideout in the research room workin' on it." 

Biggs 
         "We're gonna pull out now. We'll meet up at the hideout." 
         "Cloud, we're countin' on you to blow the reactor!" 

(He exits.) 

(The three work their way deeper until they reach the core. The
screen goes red and Cloud clutches his head and falls to his knees.
The scene shifts as Cloud hallucinates. He sees the inside of a
Mako Reactor. Gears are spinning. On the floor lies a long, thin
sword. Tifa, as a younger girl, sometime between the well
flashback and the present, kneels on the floor. A man lies before
her, dead.) 

Tifa 
         "Papa..." 
         "Sephiroth!?" 

(She sits up.) 

         "Sephiroth did this to you, didn't he!?" 

(She shakes her fists and looks skyward.) 

         "Sephiroth.... SOLDIER... Mako Reactors... Shinra... Everything!" 

(She rises; then, vehemently) 

         "I hate them all!" 

(She picks up the sword on the floor and runs into the reactor core.) 
  

(Cloud comes out of his hallucination. The scene changes back to Reactor 
No. 5.) 

Barret 
         "Damn man, get a hold of yourself!" 

(Tifa kneels by Cloud.) 

Tifa 
         "You all right?" 

(He rises.) 

Cloud 
         "......Tifa." 

Tifa 
         "Mmm?" 

Cloud 
         "No... forget...... Come on, let's hurry!" 

(Cloud plants a bomb in the reactor. They hurry out. They reach a 
mechanism with three buttons.) 

Tifa 
         "Jessie said we all have to the buttons at once." 

(They do so. A door opens and they hurry through onto a walkway.) 

Barret 
         "This way!" 

(His way is blocked.) 

         "Shinra soldiers!?" 
         "SHIT! What the hell's goin' on?" 

Cloud 
         "...a trap..." 

(We hear footsteps, then, Shinra theme music.) 

Barret 
         "President Shinra?" 

Tifa 
         "Why is the President here?" 

(The Shinra President walks onto the walkway, his expensive shoes echoing.) 

President Shinra 
         "Hmm... So you all must be that... ...what was it?" 

Barret 
         "AVALANCHE! And don't ya forget it! And you're President Shinra, 
huh?" 

(Cloud steps forward.) 

Cloud 
         "Long time no see, President." 

President Shinra 
         "...Long time no see? Oh... you." 
         "You're the one who quit SOLDIER and joined AVALANCHE. I knew 
you were exposed to Mako, from the glow in your eyes..." 
         "Tell me, traitor... what was your name?" 

Cloud 
         "Cloud." 

President Shinra 
         "Forgive me for asking, but I can't be expected to remember each 
person's name." 
         "Unless you become another Sephiroth." 
         "Yes, Sephiroth... He was brilliant. Perhaps too brilliant..." 

(Cloud steps back.) 

Cloud 
         "Sephiroth.....?" 

(Barret runs forward.) 

Barret 
         "Don't give a damn 'bout none of that! This place'e goin' up with 
a big BANG soon! Serves y'all right!" 

President Shinra 
         "And such a waste of good fireworks, just to get rid of vermin 
like you..." 

Barret 
         "VERMIN? That's all you can say... VERMIN!" 
         "Y'all Shinra're the VERMIN, killing the planet! And that makes 
you King VERMIN! So shu'up jackass!" 

President Shinra 
         "...You are beginning to bore me." 
         "I'm a very busy man, so if you'll excuse me... I have a dinner 
I must attend." 

(Barret runs right up to him.) 

Barret 
         "Dinner!? Don't gimme that! I ain't even started wit' you yet!" 

President Shinra 
         "But, I've made arrangements for a playmate for you all." 

(President Shinra snaps his fingers...) 

Tifa 
         "!? What's that noise?" 

(Barret runs back.) 

Barret 
         "The hell is this!?" 

(A huge robot buzzes in and looks menacing.) 

President Shinra 
         "Meet 'Airbuster,' a techno-soldier,. Our Weapon Development 
Department created him." 
         "I'm sure the data he'll extract from your dead bodies will be
of great use to us in future experiments." 

Cloud 
         "...Techno-soldier?" 

(A helicopter hovers up to the walkway.) 

President Shinra 
         "Now then, if you'll excuse me." 

(Cloud runs forward, too late to intercept him. President Shinra boards 
the helicopter and flies away... leaving Cloud and the others alone with 
Airbuster.) 

Cloud 
         "Wait, President!" 

(Barret turns toward Airbuster.) 

Barret 
         Yo, Cloud! We've gotta do somethin' about him!" 

(Airbuster buzzes toward Barret and Tifa.) 

Tifa 
         "Help, Cloud!" 

(Cloud runs in behind it.) 

Tifa 
         "THIS is from SOLDIER?" 

Cloud 
         "No way! It's just a machine." 

(Airbuster spins.) 

Barret 
         "I don't care what it is! I'm gonna bust him up!" 

(Boss battle with Airbuster) 
  
  

(Airbuster explodes, taking half the walkway with it. Cloud is left 
hanging from a piece of broken metal. It's a long way down.) 

Barret 
         "It's gonna blow! Let's go, Tifa!" 

Tifa 
         "Barret! Can't you do something?" 

Barret 
         "Not a damn thing." 

Tifa 
         "Cloud! Please don't die! You can't die! There's still so much
I want to tell you!" 

Cloud 
         "I know, Tifa......" 

Barret 
         "Hey, you gonna be awright?" 

<CHOICE> 
         (Be strong) 
         (I don't know if I can hold on...) 

***Cloud 
         (Be strong) 

Cloud 
         ".........." 
         "You worry about yourselves! I'm all right, but take care of Tifa!" 

Barret 
         "...Alright. Sorry 'bout all this." 

Cloud 
         "Stop talkin' like this is the end!" 

***Cloud 
         (I don't know if I can hold on....) 

Cloud 
         "Shit! Can't hold on much longer. Barret..... Hurry!" 

Barret 
         "Don't go cryin' like a woman. There ain't nothin' I can do for 
ya. Ya gotta do it yourself." 

Cloud 
         "Barret..." 
<//> 

Barret 
         "Alright, then, later." 

(FMV sequence: the bomb explodes, knocking Cloud from the walkway. Tifa 
tries to grab him, but he is too far away. Cloud plummets from the upper 
plate down to the slums below.) 


  
  




Scene 10
- Flowers Blooming In The Church -

         ...You all right? 
         ...Can you hear me? 

Cloud 
         ".....Yeah....." 

         Back then... You could get by with just skinned knees..... 

Cloud 
         "What do you mean by 'back then'?" 

         What about now? Can you get up? 

Cloud 
         ".....What do you mean by 'that time'? .....What about now?" 

         Don't worry about me. You just worry about yourself now. 

Cloud 
         ".....I'll give it a try." 

         "Oh! He moved!" 

         .....How about that? 
         Take it slow now. Little by little..... 

         "Hello, hello?" 

Cloud 
         ".....I know." 

Cloud 
         "Hey... who are you?" 

         "Hello, hello!" 

(The scene fades in to show Cloud lying in the middle of a flower patch 
in the floor of an old church. The Flower Girl from Midgar kneels next to 
him. She stands. Cloud manages to sit up.) 

         "You okay?" 
         "This is a church in the Sector 5 slums." 
         "You suddenly fell on top of me. You really gave me quite a
scare." 

Cloud 
         "......I came crashing down?" 

         "The roof and the flower bed must have broken your fall.
You're lucky." 

Cloud 
         "Flower bed... is this yours?" 

(He stands up and brushes his clothes off.) 

Cloud 
         "Sorry about that." 

         "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." 

(She begins to tend to her flowers.) 

         ".....So, we meet again." 
         "Don't you remember me?" 

<CHOICE> 
         Yeah, I remember you 
         Never saw you before 

***Cloud 
         Yeah, I remember you 
         "Yeah, I remember..." 

<CHOICE> 
         You were selling flowers 
         You're the slum drunk 

 ***Cloud 
         You were selling flowers 

         "Oh, I"m so happy!" 
         "Thanks for buying my flowers." 

***Cloud 
         You're the slum drunk 

(She makes an angry motion) 

         "Excuse me, but that's really rude!" 
         "But I'll forgive you, because you bought flowers from me." 
<//> 

***Cloud 
         Never saw you before 

         ".....I guess you don't remember. You were walking in a daze." 
         "But I'll forgive you, because you bought flowers from me." 
<//> 

         "Say, do you have any materia?" 

Cloud 
         "Yes, some." 
         "Nowadays you can find materia anywhere." 

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

Cloud 
         ".....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...." 

(She looks skyward.) 

         "Say, I feel like talking. Do you feel up to it?" 
         "After all, here we are meeting again, right?" 

<CHOICE> 
         I don't mind 
         Got nothing to talk about 

***Cloud 
         I don't mind 

         "Wait here. I've got to check my flowers. It'll be just a minute." 

***Cloud 
         Got nothing to talk about 

(She looks sad and disappointed.) 

         "....oh, I see." 
         "Ahhh, I wonder whose fault that is. It takes a lot to grow them, 
you know. Poor flowers." 
<//> 

(She checks her flowers.) 

         "Just a little longer." 
         "Oh!" 
         "Now that you mention it....." 
         "We don't know each other's names, do we?" 
         "My name is...." 

(The PLAYER names Aerith) 

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

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

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

Cloud 
         "Yeah, I do whatever's needed." 

(Aerith giggles.) 

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

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

(They turn to see a mysterious figure in the doorway of the church....) 








Scene 11
- Meet Reno -

(Cloud and Aerith are in an old church. They turn to see a mysterious 
figure in the doorway...) 

Aerith 
         "Sorry, bad timing on my part." 

(Cloud moves toward the person.) 

Aerith 
         "Cloud! Don't let it get to you!" 

(She steps back, behind Cloud.) 

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

(Cloud smooths his hair.) 

Cloud 
         "Yeah, that's right." 

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

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

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

(Cloud makes an affirmative nod. He confronts the person.) 

Cloud 
         "I don't know who you are, but...." 

         "You don't know me.....?" 

         ......I know you. 

(The screen goes white, briefly) 

Cloud 
         "Oh yeah...... I know you." 
         "That uniform...." 

(Three Shinra guards run in.) 

         ".....Hey, sis, this one's a little weird." 

Cloud 
         "Shut up! You Shinra spy!" 

         "Reno! Want him taken out?" 

Reno 
         "I haven't decided yet." 

Aerith 
         "Don't fight here! You'll ruin the flowers!" 

(Cloud and Aerith run to the back of the church.) 

Aerith 
         "The exit is back there." 

(They exit. Reno walks forward, OVER the flower patch...) 

Reno 
         "They were..... Mako eyes." 
         "Yeah, all right. Back to work,
back to work." 

(He exits.) 

Reno 
         "Oh!" 

(He re-enters.) 

         "And don't step on the
flowers......" 

(The three guards speak in unison) 

         "Hey Reno, you just stepped on them!" 
         "They're all ruined!" 
         "You're gonna catch holy hell!" 

  






Scene 12
- Flee The Church -

(The scene changes. Cloud and Aerith in the back room of the church. It is 
three floors high, and a large Shinra missle apparently crashed through 
them all, leaving gaping holes in them. They jump past the missile and 
climb a broken flight of stairs, reaching a break in the walkway.) 

Reno 
         "There they are, over there!" 

(Reno comes in with the three guards.) 

Aerith 
         "Cloud... that one!" 

Cloud 
         "I know... Looks like they aren't
going to let us go." 

Aerith 
         "What should we do?" 

Cloud 
         "Well we can't let them catch us,
can we? Then, there's only one thing left." 

(He jumps across the gap and motions for Aerith to follow.) 

Cloud 
         "Aerith! This way!" 

(She shakes her head.) 

Cloud 
         "All right. I'll hold them off." 

Aerith 
         "Right. Make sure they don't get through!" 

Reno 
         "The Ancient is getting away! Attack! Attack! Attack!" 

(The guards fire at Aerith who falls from the walkway.) 

Aerith 
         "Eaygh!!" 

Cloud 
         "Aerith!" 

Reno 
         "Think we killed 'em? They shouldn't have put up a fight, I say!" 

Aerith 
         "Cloud, help!" 

Cloud 
         "Damn!" 

(He looks up to the rafters.) 

         "What's that...?" 

(The three guards attack Aerith. Cloud runs to the rafters and finds four 
barrels. He pushes them off, squashing each guard. The PLAYER controls 
this.) 

Aerith 
         "Thanks, Cloud." 

(Aerith runs up to the rafters.) 

Cloud 
         "Aerith, this way." 

(She follows Cloud. They find a hole in the roof of the church and jump 
out to the outside.) 




  



Scene 13
- Let's Go, Bodyguard! -

(Cloud and Aerith are sitting on the roof of Aerith's old church.) 

Aerith 
         "Ha, ha..... They're looking for me again." 

Cloud 
         "You mean it's not the first time
they've been after you?" 

Aerith 
         "...no." 

Cloud 
         "They're the Turks." 

Aerith 
         "Hmmm......" 

Cloud 
         "The Turks are an organization in Shinra. They scout for possible 
candidates for SOLDIER." 

Aerith 
         "This violently? I thought they were kidnapping someone." 

Cloud 
         "They're also involved in a lot of dirty stuff on the side." 
         "Spying, murder... you know." 

Aerith 
         "They look like it." 

Cloud 
         "But, why're they after you? There must be a reason, right?" 

Aerith 
         "No, not really. I think they believe I have what it takes to be 
in SOLDIER!" 

Cloud 
         "Maybe you do. You want to join?" 

Aerith 
         "I don't know... But I don't want to get caught by THOSE people!" 

Cloud 
         "Then, let's go!" 

(Aerith follows Cloud. They jump across many rooftops and pieces of 
debris, heading away from the church. Cloud gets far ahead of her.) 

Aerith 
         "Wait... Wait, I said!" 

(She catches up, carefully, femininely judging each gap.) 

         "Puff... wheeze..." 
         "Slow.... down.... Don't leave me...." 

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

Aerith 
         "Oh! You're terrible!" 

(Cloud laughs.) 

Aerith 
         "Hey.... Cloud. Were you ever in
SOLDIER?" 

Cloud 
         "....." 
         "...I used to be. How did you guess?" 

Aerith 
         "...Your eyes. They have a strange glow..." 

Cloud 
         "That's the sign of those who have been infused with Mako..." 
         "A mark of SOLDIER." 
         "But, how did you know about that?" 

Aerith 
         "........Oh, nothing." 

Cloud 
         "Nothing....?" 

Aerith 
         "Right, nothing!" 
         "Come on, let's go! Bodyguard!" 

(Cloud continues across the rooftops. Aerith follows, more closely.) 




  



Scene 14
- Sneak Out At Midnight -

(Cloud and Aerith hop down from the rooftops across pieces of debris. They 
land on a dirt road) 

Aerith 
         "Whew! Finally made it off! Now what..." 

(She looks around, then scampers
forward) 

         "My house is over here. Let's
hurry before they get here!" 

(Cloud and Aerith travel through the
Sector 5 slums to Aerith's small cottage.
They go inside.) 

Aerith 
         "I'm home, mom." 

(Her mother, Elmyra, walks over.) 

         "This is Cloud, my bodyguard." 

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

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

(Elmyra nods.) 

Elmyra 
         "Thank you, Cloud." 

(She goes upstairs.) 

Aerith 
         "So, what are you going to do now?" 

Cloud 
         "...Is Sector 7 far from here? I want to go to Tifa's bar." 

Aerith 
         "Is Tifa...... a girl?" 

Cloud 
         "Yeah." 

Aerith 
         "A girl... friend?" 

Cloud 
         "Girlfriend?" 

<CHOICE> 
         No way 
         Yeah, that's right 

***Cloud 
         No way! 

(Cloud shakes his head quickly.) 

Aerith 
         "Hee hee hee...." 
         "You don't have to get THAT upset..." 

(She moves toward Cloud... a small step.) 

***Cloud 
         Yeah, that's right 

Aerith 
         "Oh, how nice." 

<//> 

Aerith 
         "Well, that's... nice." 
         "Let's see, Sector 7? I'll show you
the way." 

Cloud 
         "You gotta be kidding. Why do
you want to put yourself in danger
again?" 

Aerith 
         "I'm used to it." 

Cloud 
         "Used to it!?" 
         "....Well, don't know... getting
help from a girl..." 

(She makes an amusedly angry gesture.) 

Aerith 
         "A girl!! What do you mean by that!?" 
         "You expect me to just sit by and listen, after hearing you say 
something like that!?" 

(She calls upstairs.) 

         "Mom! I'm taking Cloud to Sector 7. I'll be back in a while." 

(Elmyra comes downstairs.) 

Elmyra 
         "But dear... I give up. You never listen once you've made up your 
mind." 
         "But if you must go, why don't you go tomorrow? It's getting late 
now." 

Aerith 
         "Yeah, you're right, mom." 

Elmyra 
         "Aerith, please go and make the bed." 

(Aerith goes upstairs. Cloud speaks to Elmyra.) 

Elmyra 
         "That glow in your eyes... you're from SOLDIER, right?" 

Cloud 
         "Yeah. Rather I used to be..." 

Elmyra 
         ".... I don't know how to say this, but..." 
         "Would you please leave here, tonight?" Without telling Aerith." 

(Cloud goes upstairs. Aerith meets him.) 

Aerith 
         "You need to go through Sector 6 to get to Sector 7. Sector 6 is 
a little"
         "dangerous so you'd better get some rest tonight." 

(Cloud walks toward the bedroom door.) 

Aerith 
         "Cloud...." 

(He turns to her.) 

Aerith 
         "Good night." 

(She goes downstairs.) 

Cloud 
         "Oh, man..." 

(Cloud goes to bed. He dreams, we presume.) 

         "...seem pretty tired......" 

Cloud 
         ".......!?" 

         "I haven't slept in a bed like this ....in a long time." 

Cloud 
         "....Oh, yeah." 

         "Ever since that time." 

(The scene fades in. Cloud is lying on a bed in a one-room house. A woman 
is in the room, working in the kitchen area. She stops and walks toward 
him.) 

         "My, how you've grown." 
         "I'll bet the girls never leave you alone." 

Cloud 
         "...Not really." 

(She paces a bit.) 

         "...I'm worried about you." 
         "There are a lot of temptations in
the city..." 
         "I'd feel a lot better if you just
settled down and had a nice girlfriend." 

Cloud 
         "...I'm all right." 

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

Cloud 
         "I'm not interested." 

(The scene fades back in. Cloud is lying on a bed on the second floor of 
Aerith's house. Aerith is in the next room.) 

Cloud 
         "...I must've fallen asleep." 

(He gets up.) 

Cloud 
         "Sector 7's past Sector 6... I should be all right by myself..." 

(He sneaks past Aerith's room and goes downstairs. He exits the house, 
leaving Aerith behind.) 




  



Scene 15
- Playground Ai -

People in Sector 5 

         "Take care of yourself. It's the law of the slums. But to do 
that, first, you need weapons, right?" (Sells weapons) 

         "Hmph.....! Everything President Shinra says is a lie." 
         "But then again, you can't trust that AVALANCHE, or whatever you 
call them." 
         "You can bat it around all you like. But in the end it comes 
down to wanting to be like those who live up above." 
         "So who do you believe in? Oneself! Me! I never lie to myself, 
that's for sure!" 

         (TV) "And now for the news." 
         "Due to a terrorist attack by the group named AVALANCHE, parts of 
Midgar that were temporarily out of power will be restored momentarily." 
         "Following President Shinra's lead, Mayor Domino also spoke out 
public against AVALANCHE." 

         "glug... glug..." 
         "Now... no one... will find it... num..." 
         "The top one... and the bottom one..." 

         "...stare... hmph... we only trade items for gil here." (Sells 
items) 

         "I don't care if it's scrap metal or materia. We can get anything 
here in the slums." 
         "Got a lot of good materia here. Why don't you look it over?" 
(Sells materia) 

         "ooh.... aaah..... aghhhh...." 
  
(On the way out of the city, Cloud runs into Aerith. He looks startled.) 

Aerith 
         "You're up bright and early." 

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

Aerith 
         "Are you done?" 

(Cloud smooths his hair.) 

         "You have to go through the slum in Sector 6 to get to Tifa's 7th 
Heaven." 
         "I'll take you there. Come on!" 

(Aerith runs out. Cloud follows. They cross a highway that has been 
more or less demolished until they reach an old playground.) 

Aerith 
         "The gate to Sector 7's in there." 

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

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

<CHOICE> 
         See her home 
         Take her to Sector 7 

***Cloud 
         See her home 

Aerith 
         "Isn't that a little out of the way?" 

Cloud 
         "Yeah, I guess so." 

***Cloud 
         Take her to Sector 7 

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

Cloud 
         "What do you mean in the way?" 

Aerith 
         "Nothing!" 

<//> 

(Aerith puts her hands behind her back and looks up at Cloud.) 

Aerith 
         "Can we take a break?" 

(She walks to a large, moogle-shaped children's slide.) 

Aerith 
         "I can't believe it's still here." 

(She climbs to the top) 

         "Cloud, get over here!" 

(He climbs up and sits beside her.) 

Aerith 
         "What rank were you?" 

Cloud 
         "Rank?" 

Aerith 
         "You know, in SOLDIER." 

Cloud 
         "Oh, I was..." 

(The screen goes solid white, briefly.) 

         "First Class." 

Aerith 
         "Just the same as him." 

Cloud 
         "The same as who?" 

Aerith 
         "My first boyfriend." 

Cloud 
         "You were... serious?" 

Aerith 
         "No. But I liked him for a while." 

Cloud 
         "I probably knew him. What was his name?" 

(Aerith shakes her head.) 

Aerith 
         "It doesn't really matter." 

(A huge gate opens in the back. A large carriage drawn by a chocobo comes 
out. A woman is riding in the back.) 

Cloud 
         "Huh? Hey, back there....." 

(He stands up) 

Cloud 
         "Tifa!?" 

(The carriage drives out and the gate closes.) 

Aerith 
         "That girl in the cart was Tifa? Where was she going? She looked 
kind of odd..." 

(She hops down and chases the cart.) 

Cloud 
         "Wait!" 
         "I'll go on alone! You go home!" 

(She doesn't listen. She chases the carriage offscreen. Cloud shakes his 
head and goes after her.) 








Scene 16
- Miss Cloud? -

(Cloud and Aerith arrive in Wall Market, busy with the hustle and 
bustle of people. Aerith runs around, checking things out.) 

Aerith 
         "This place is scary in a lot of ways. Especially for a girl. So 
we've got to find Tifa fast." 

People in Wall Market 

         "I just can't make up my mind. Mmm." 
         "Huh? About what?" 
         "Hmmm, don't make me say it. It's the shop down on the right." 

         "Hey, you two. Why don't you get some rest?" 
         "We have a beautiful room, how 'bout it?" 

         "Aren't cats great? This one's a little big, huh?" 

         "Hey boy! You shore got a good lookin' heifer there!" 
         "Take her to Don's place, and you'll make a mint." 

         "Whoa!" 
         "Why don't you say something, if you're standing there?" 
(Sells items) 

         "Please come in. Here's a free 'Pharmacy Coupon' if you enter 
now."

(People in the Cafe) 
         "Welcome! Sit wherever you like!" 
         "I'm gonna get another Pharmacy Coupon today." 
         "umf... scarf... glub..." 
         "I always get the Special." 
         "It's thanks to the Don that we can eat like this." 
         "umf... grunt... smack... Don't sneak up on me like that!" 

         "It's a little early to start eating. Come back in a bit." 

         "...We're closed now." 

         "Oh... what should I do... Should I just buy it......?" 

         "Welcome. Please take your time." 

         "Don't push! Hooligan!" 

         "All this trash. Can't we do anything with it?" 
         "All this, belongs to the owner of the Weapons Shop. He keeps 
picking things up and saving them here." 
         "Oh, you mean the owner who even has a tank in his shop." 
         "But no matter how you look at it, it's just trash..." 

         "Join the club." 
         "Try it with us." 

         "All right... 1, 2, 3. Squats are all in the rhythm." 
         "I'm doing my best, bro'!" 
         "How's... this!?" 

         "Whew, times are bad." 

         "...And then..." 
         "Hmm, hmmm, oh really?" 

         "Yes? If you want to order, do it at the counter." [Note: You 
don't seem to be able to order] 

         "Hey, could you do somethin' for me? Someone's been in there 
all day and they're not comin' out. I can't hold it anymore!" 
  
         "HEY... someone's IN here... Don't look!" 

         "You want somethin'? I don't wanna hear any complaints 'bout 
how things look." 

People outside the Honey Bee Inn 

Johnny 
         "Man... Should I go.... or not?" 
         "I get so mental at times like this. I'm hopeless!" 
         "Hey!! Aren't you...?" 
         "What!! You mean, you're.... too?" 

<CHOICE> 
         Yeah, me too. 
         Don't bring me down to your level 

***Cloud 
         Yeah, me too. 

Johnny 
         "You're Tifa's childhood friend, and you brought a girlfriend 
to a place like this!?" 
         "What kind of guy are you!!" 

***Cloud 
         Don't bring me down to your level 

Johnny 
         "What... Me too. I decided this after a lot of deep thought. My 
last memories of Midgar... you know." 
         "But... That guy over there kinda scares me." 
<//> 

         "What the hell!! You *%^&!! This ain't no #$*&^% show!! I'm busy 
right now!!" 
         "I'm feelin' like there's gonna be a fight!" 

         "Urrgh... no way... I can't go on." 
         "Things aren't working out." 
         "Between our differences and my pay, it just isn't cutting it." 

         "Welcome!! Even unpopular dweebs, like you may meet your 
destiny here!!" 
         "You looking for a girlfriend too?" 

<CHOICE> 
         You know a girl named Tifa? 
         This place doesn't interest me. 

***Cloud 
         You know a girl named Tifa? 

         "Hey, you're pretty fast. Tifa's our newest girl." 
         "But, unfortunately, she's having an interview right now." 
         "Here at the Honey Bee Inn, it's customary for all the new girls 
to be taken to Don Corneo's mansion." 
         "Don Corneo's a famous dilettante. Now he wants to settle down 
and is in the market for a bride." 

***Cloud 
         This place doesn't interest me. 

         "Hmm... Seems to like it just fine. Good for you." 
<//> 

         "The Honey Bee Inn is a private club. Only members can go in. 
Shoo, shoo." 
  
(Cloud and Aerith meet the doorman outside of Don Corneo's mansion.) 

[Note: The whole scene of getting into Don Corneo's mansion is very 
open-ended. Your results may vary. I have included all the dialogue you 
could encounter while getting the various items, as well as what happens 
when you reach the Don's mansion with different amounts of the items. 
Remember that it is NOT required to get all of the items, and no matter 
how feminine you get, it will not have any bearing on the progression of 
events through the game.] 

         "This is the mansion of Don Corneo, the most powerful man in 
Wall Market." 
         "Look, the Don's not into men. So don't let me catch you around 
here again..." 
         "Hey, and you got another cute one with you!" 

(Aerith pulls Cloud aside.) 

Aerith 
         "Hey, this looks like the Don's mansion. I'll go take a look." 
         "I'll tell Tifa about you." 

Cloud 
         "No!! You can't!!" 

Aerith 
         "Why?" 

Cloud 
         "You DO know... what kind of... place this is, don't you?" 

Aerith 
         "Then, what am I supposed to do? You want to go in with me?" 

Cloud 
         "Well being a man, that'll be pretty hard. Besides if I bust in 
there, it'll cause too much commotion." 

(Aerith is giggling.) 

Cloud 
         "But, I just can't let you go in alone... Oh, man......" 
         "First, we'll need to find out if Tifa's alright...." 
         "What's so funny, Aerith?" 

Aerith 
         "Cloud, why don't you dress up like a girl? It's the only way." 

Cloud 
         "WHAT!?" 

(Aerith speaks to the doorman.) 

Aerith 
         "Just wait. I've got a cute friend I want to bring." 

Cloud 
         "Aerith! I can't....." 

Aerith 
         "You ARE worried about Tifa, aren't you? Then come on, hurry!" 

[Sequence of events follows, in which Cloud gets various feminine items.] 

(They go to the dress shop and speak to the clerk.) 

Aerith 
         "Excuse me! I'd like to get a dress." 

         "Umm, it might take a little time. Will that be all right?" 

Aerith 
         "What's the problem?" 

         "Well, my father, the owner, has been in a slump lately. You 
see, he makes all the dresses." 

Aerith 
         "And, where is your father?" 

         "He's probably plastered at the bar." 

Aerith 
         "So... You're saying we can't get a dress unless we do something 
about your father?" 

         "Yes. I'm sorry. He's caused so much trouble." 
         "!" 
         "You'd help me bring him back?" 

Aerith 
         "Well, if don't do something, we don't get a dress, right?" 

         "Really!? Please help my crazy old dad. I just don't know what 
to do anymore...." 

Aerith 
         "All right, we'll do something. Let's go, Cloud!" 

(They head to the bar and speak to a man seated at the bar.) 

Aerith 
         "Excuse us, are you the father of the girl at the Clothing Store?" 

         "I own the Clothes Shop... but I ain't your father." 

Aerith 
         "I didn't say that...." 

Cloud 
         "Make me some clothes." 

         "I don't make men's clothes. And I don't feel like makin' 
anything right now." 

Aerith 
         "Cloud, you wait over there for a second. I'll try and talk to 
him." 
         "Why don't you go over there and have something to drink." 

(He does so.) 

Aerith 
         "You know, mister." 
         "He always said that just once, he'd like to dress up as a girl." 
         "So, that's why I wanted a cute dress for him..." 

         "What!? A tough lookin guy like that?" 

Aerith 
         "So, how 'bout it? Will you make him one?" 

         "...might be interesting. I was gettin' a little bored just 
makin' regular clothes." 

Aerith 
         "Then you'll do it for us?" 

         "Yeah, all right. What kind of dress you want?" 

Aerith 
         "Something..." 

(You get to choose what kind of dress you get here. If you make these 
choices, you will get the Silk Dress, the sexiest dress. Any other 
combination will get you a non-sexy dress.) 

         That feels soft 

Aerith 
         "And something...." 

         that shimmers 

         "Hmm, got it. Y'know I got a friend that has the same taste 
as him. I'll go talk to him." 

(They return to the Dress Shop and speak to the owner.) 

         "Oh, you're here. It's ready. Go try it on." 

(They receive the Silk Dress. Cloud looks like he is dreading this. He 
steps into the dressing booth and we hear scuffling sounds.) 

Cloud 
         "How... do you put this thing on?" 

(Aerith looks inside.) 

Cloud 
         "Whoa! What are you doing!" 

Aerith 
         "It's still not right. A wig! That's what you need!" 

(She speaks to the owner.) 

         "Umm, I thought you might, so I talked to my friend about 
getting one." 
         "You know the gym? You'll find a lot of people there like you. 
Go and talk to them." 

(Cloud comes out of the dressing booth, in his normal clothes.) 

Cloud 
         "...'like you'? Aerith, what did you tell him?" 

Aerith 
         "Does it matter? Anyhow, we got a pretty dress!" 

(They travel to the gym and speak to the man watching the squat-thrust 
match. We can only assume it is a man; he appears to be wearing women's 
clothes.) 

         "You the one.... Who wants to be cute?" 

Cloud 
         "Cute?" 

Aerith 
         "Right." 
         "And about the wig..." 

         "Yeah, I heard. But it'll cost ya." 

(A guy stops working out and comes over.) 

         "Urrrrgh!!!" 
         "Big Bro!! The only way you're gonna get cuter is if you can 
beat the Big Bro!!" 

(The people doing squat thrusts jump out of the ring.) 

         "That's right!" 
         "So, you've got to compete with us!" 

         "You're right. Let's do squats." 

         "All right! We'll beat you out of this gym!" 

Cloud 
         "Are you...?" 

Aerith 
         "THE beautiful Bro?" 

(The "Beautful" Bro speaks.) 

         "What? You didn't know? Always running around here saying 
Big Bro' this, Big Bro' that...." 
         "Never mind that, come over here." 

(The squat thruster steps forward.) 

         "No. I'll explain the rules." 
         "From the ready position, push Square button to squat, push X 
Button to get up, and push O Button to go back to the ready position." 
         "So it's Square Button, X Button, O Button in that order." 
         "Got it?" 

***Cloud 
         Got it 

         "Whoever has the most squats at the end of 30 seconds gets the 
wig." 
         "I'm not going to lose." 
         "Big Bro's wig is MINE!!" 
         "Just be quiet..." 
         "It's not fair for you to start right away. So, you want 
practice?" 

***Cloud 
         A little 

         "Then, start practicing!" 

(Cloud does squats for 30 seconds.) 

         "You had 20 squats." 
         "Now let's begin the real thing. Start!" 

(Cloud and Work-Out Boy do squats for 30 seconds.) 

         "He had 17 squats and you had 20 squats." 

[Your results may vary] 

         "You're really something. Okay, I'm a man of my word, here 
you are." 

(He gives Cloud the Blonde Wig- the sexiest wig.) 

Big Bro 
         'I'm so mad I'm so so so--- mad!" 

(Beautiful Bro punches him across the room.) 

         "Shut up! Don't cry just because you lost!" 

         "Uuuhh, Bro's fists of steel cut to the bone!" 

(Everyone administers first aid to Big Bro.) 

[These are the only two events you need to do. The rest are optional.] 

(Cloud and Aerith go to the Materia shop and speak to the owner.) 

         "Hey man. Got a minute? I need to talk... man to man." 

***Cloud 
         What is it 

         "Really! I really appreciate it." 
         "......I'm sorry but, young lady? Would you turn the other way, 
for a second?" 

Aerith 
         "Why.....?" 

Cloud 
         "......Aerith." 

Aerith 
         "Gosh!" 

(She turns.) 

         "I'm sorry, lady." 
         "Now here's the thing. Do you know that vending machine in the 
inn?" 
         "I'm itchin' to know what they're selling in it. I just can't 
ask a girl to go get it." 
         "What? Why don't I buy it myself? Well to tell you the truth, 
I got in a fight with the guy at the inn and can't go there anymore. 
Come on, so how 'bout it?" 

***Cloud 
         I'll go 

         "Good, thanks. I'll be waitin' here when you're done." 

Aerith 
         "Finished?" 

(They go to the inn and get a room there. Late that night, Cloud gets out 
of bed and goes to the vending machine in the hallway.) 

Cloud 
         "He means this?" 

<CHOICE> 
         Don't buy it 
         Buy the one for 200 Gil (-) 
         Buy the one for 100 Gil 
         Buy the one for 50 Gil 
<//>

(He drops in the money. The next morning they go back to the Materia shop) 

Cloud 
         "I got it." 

         "Oh, really!! Hey!" 

Aerith 
         "Geez." 

(She turns.) 

         "And, what was it?" 

(Cloud hands it to him.) 

         "A protein drink set. That jerk. I'm gonna do so much more 
business than him, his head'll spin."

         "Thanks, bud. I'm motivated now. Take this, it's not much..." 

(He gives Cloud a Diamond Tiara.) 

[Buying a cheaper ??? at the Inn will result in a non-sexy Tiara] 

(Cloud and Aerith go to the Honeybee Inn. A guy on the path there 
gives them a members Card. They speak to the bouncer.) 

         "Hey! Is that a 'Member's Card' I see shining in your hot 
little hand?" 
         "Please, come in." 

(Aerith waits outside. All the men around the Inn grovel to her...) 

Cloud 
         "...Hmm. That's how you'll fool them." 

Aerith 
         "......Hmmmmmmmmm. So that's how you fooled them." 

Cloud 
         "Let's go!!" 

(He goes inside. A girl comes up to him.) 

         "Poo, I uh, mean, Sir..." 
         "Hurry..." 
         "Please choose a room. (Gosh, he's so weird... but then again, 
they all are.)" 

(Cloud ducks into the dressing room for the Honeybees and speaks to them. 
Repeatedly.) 

         "Hmm, hmm, hmm....." 
         "Ohhh, I just can't seem to lose weight. Hmm, hmm, hmm..." 
         "Sir!! You can't come in here." 
         "(Yuk..... a pervert...)" 

         "Eyaah!" 
         "Don't!" 

         "Paste, paste, paste....." 
         "(Oh God... here's another one of those guys. You know, the 
delicate type. Just ignore him, just ignore him.)" 
         "Fluff, fluff, fluff..." 
         "(Hmm! I guess he doesn't realize his position. I feel sorry for 
him. Just ignore him, just ignore him.)" 
         "Pita, pita, pita...." 
         "(God, what a pest! All right, get out of here! You dog...)" 
         "(That's it, I'll name him 'pooch'.)" 
         "Mix, mix, mix...." 
         "(What should I do... Is he following me? Really? What if he 
follows me home...?)" 
         "(Poochy'll do it, I'm sure of it...)" 
         "Shake, shake, shake..."

some occupied doors. Behind the first one, The Lovers Room....)

get comfortable."

City."

walks forward and sees a ghost of himself, transparent, kneeling by the 
tub. The ghost rises and walks to him.) 

Cloud

         "What are you doing in a place like this?"

         "That's what I want to ask you. Should you be foolin' around 
here?" 
         "You think problems will go away just thinkin' about them?"

Cloud's body. He falls and the screen goes black)

the head. Cloud sits up and Mukki flops down on the bed.)

Scene 17
- Rescue Tifa From Don Of The Slums -

(They go to the Don's mansion and speak to the doorman.) 

         "Damn!! Your friend's hot, too!" 
         "Come in, come in!!" 
         "Two ladies coming through!" 

(They enter the mansion. A receptionist speaks to them.) 

         "Hey, ladies." 
         "I'll go and let the Don know you're here. Wait here. Don't go 
wandering around..." 

Aerith 
         "Now's our chance. Let's find Tifa." 

(Cloud goes upstairs and through a door. He comes out in a torture chamber. 
Aerith follows. They see Tifa there, dressed like... .. a slut, to be blunt 
about it.) 

Aerith 
         "...Tifa?" 
         "Nice to meet you. I'm Aerith." 
         "Cloud's told me a lot about you." 

Tifa 
         "...And you are?" 
         "Hey you're the one with Cloud in
the park..." 

Aerith 
         "Right, with Cloud." 

Tifa 
         "Oh....." 

Aerith 
         "Don't worry. We just met. It's nothing." 

Tifa 
         "What do you mean, 'Don't worry'... about what?" 
         "No, don't misunderstand." 
         "Cloud and I grew up together. Nothing more." 

Aerith 
         "Poor Cloud, having to stand here and listen to both of us call 
him nothing." 

(She turns to Cloud.) 

Aerith 
         "Right, Cloud?" 

Tifa 
         "Cloud?" 

(She checks him out.) 

Tifa 
         "????" 
         "Cloud!?" 
         "Why are you dressed like that!? And what are you doing here!?" 
         "Forget that, what happened to you after the fall!? Are you 
hurt!?" 

Cloud 
         "Hey, give me a chance to explain." 
         "I'm dressed like this... because there was no other way to get 
in here." 
         "I'm all right. Aerith helped me out." 

Tifa 
         "Oh, Aerith did..." 

Cloud 
         "Tifa, explain. What are you doing in a place like this?" 

Tifa 
         "Yeah, ummmm...." 

Aerith 
         "Ahem! I'll just plug my ears." 

(She walks to the other side of the room and does so.) 

Tifa 
         "I'm glad you're OK." 

Cloud 
         "Thanks. What happened?" 

Tifa 
         "When we got back from the Number 5 reactor, there was this weird 
man." 
         "So Barret caught him and squeezed some information out of him." 

Cloud 
         "That's when the Don's name popped up." 

Tifa 
         "Right, Don Corneo." 
         "Barret told me to leave the lech alone..." 
         "But something's been bothering me." 

Cloud 
         "I see. So you wanted to get the story straight from Corneo's 
mouth." 

Tifa 
         "So I made it here, but now I'm in a bind." 
         "Corneo is looking for a bride." 
         "Everyday, he gets three girls, chooses one of them, and then.... 
...and, well....." 
         "Anyway, I have to be the girl... or I'm out for tonight." 

(Aerith turns.) 

Aerith 
         "Sorry... but I overheard..." 
         "If you know the three girls, there's no problem, right?" 

Tifa 
         "I guess so, but..." 

Aerith 
         "We have two here, right?" 

Cloud 
         "No, Aerith! I can't have you get involved." 

Aerith 
         "Oh? So it's all right for Tifa to be in danger?" 

Cloud 
         "No, I don't want Tifa in...." 

(Tifa walks to Aerith.) 

Tifa 
         "Is it all right?" 

(They start to walk out of the room together.) 

Aerith 
        "I grew up in the slums... I'm used to danger." 

(She turns to Tifa.) 

Aerith 
         "Do you trust me?" 

Tifa 
         "Yes. Thanks, Ms. Aerith." 

Aerith 
         "Call me Aerith." 

(A voice from upstairs.) 

         "He---y!!" 

(The receptionist is at the top of the stairs.) 

         "It's time, ladies. The Don is waiting!" 

(He goes back upstairs.) 

         "I told ya not to wander around... I tell ya, women nowadays..." 
         "Hurry up, will ya!" 

Cloud 
         "I probably don't need to ask but the other girl is..." 
         "Me...... right?" 

Tifa 
         You're right, there was no need..." 

(She faces Aerith.) 

Aerith 
         "...to ask." 

(They all go upstairs to the Don's room.....) 
  
  

(Cloud, Aerith, and Tifa enter the Don's room. He is seated at a desk, 
with a flunky on either side.) 

Kotch 
         "All right, ladies!" 
         "Line up in front of the Don!" 

(They line up in a row.) 

Don Corneo 
         "Hmmm! Good, splendid!" 

(He jumps over his desk and checks out
Aerith.) 

Don Corneo 
         "Now, let's see... Which girl
should I choose? Hmm--- hmm---!" 

(He checks out Cloud, who tries to face
away.) 

Don Corneo 
         "This one?" 

(He checks out Tifa.) 

Don Corneo 
         "Or this one?" 

(He checks out Cloud again.) 

Don Corneo 
         "Woo-hoo, I've made up my mind!!" 
         "My choice for tonight is....."

(Don Corneo picks Aerith.) 

Don Corneo 
         "This slender little girl!"

Aerith 
         "Don, you've got great taste." 

[If you have ALL the feminine items...] 

(Don Corneo picks Cloud...) 

Don Corneo 
         "This healthy-looking girl!" 

Cloud 
         "Wa, wait a sec! I mean, uh, please wait a moment!" 

Don Corneo 
         "Woo-hoo!" 
         "I love chickies who play hard to get! Yeowza!"

(Don turns to his flunkies.) 

Don Corneo 
         "You can have the other ones!" 

         "Yes, sir! Thank you sir!"

Don Corneo 
         "Well then, shall we go my pretty?"

         "This is all thanks to the big boss, Don Corneo!" 

         "Heey!! Three cheers for Don Corneo!" 

Scotch 
         "Heh, heh.... Well ladies, are we, uh, all ready?" 

(They all start chasing Cloud, who goes up to Scotch.) 

Scotch 
         "Hey... what's wrong? Want me to keep you company?" 

Cloud 
         "No... I'm flattered, but no thanks." 
         "Because..." 

Scotch 
         "Because...?" 

Cloud 
         "Because..." 
         "I ain't INTERESTED in a buncha scrubs like you!" 

(He flings off his woman's clothes.)

Knock the crap out of him!!"

torture chamber.) 

Aerith

(Cloud rushes down the stairs.) 

Aerith 
         "No-!!" 

Kotch 
         "Ha ha ha... Wait, you!" 

(Cloud looks down. Kotch is comically chasing Aerith around in circles. 
Aerith runs up the stairs and Kotch follows. When Aerith reaches Cloud, 
she kicks Kotch in the crotch.) 

Aerith 
         "I'm so sorry!" 

(Kotch loses his balance and flails his arms...) 

Kotch 
         "oh, oh, oh...."

Scene 19
- Ecchi Don -

(Don Corneo and the girl he chose are sitting in his extravagantly and 
tastelessly decorated bedroom. It smacks of 'Love Hotel'.) 

[If Tifa was picked] 

Don Corneo 
         "Woo-hoo!" 
         "Come, come, don't be so shy..." 

Tifa 
         "I know...." 
         "But you know, Don Corneo, I'd like you to explain something 
before we start..." 

Don Corneo 
         "Hm? Oh, you mean about THAT?" 
         "Don't worry. I'm single. There, feel better now?" 

(He gets up and, um, wiggles his hips...) 

Tifa 
         "No... I'm not asking about that......" 
         "Wa... wait a minute! No, not yet!!" 

(He, uhm, wiggles again...)

         "Aooooooh!! I can't wait any longer! Here comes papa!!" 

(Cloud and Aerith break in.) 

Tifa 
         "Cloud!!" 

(Don does a belly flop at Tifa. She hops out of the way, and Don comes 
down face first.) 

Don Corneo 
         "Wha... what the hell? Who goes there?" 

Tifa 
         "You still don't get it do you, Don Corneo?" 

(She takes off her dress. No, she's got her normal clothes on under it.) 

Don Corneo 
         "Get what?"

Don Corneo 
         "Woo-hoo!" 
         "Come, come, don't be so shy..." 

Aerith

         "But Mr. Don. I'd like you to explain something to me first..." 

Don Corneo 
         "Of course, my dear. I'll take you through it slowly, step by 
step. So come on!" 

(He gets up and, uh, wiggles his hips...) 

Aerith 
         "No, that's not what I meant!" 
         "NO, STOP! Just, wait a second!!"

Don Corneo 
         "Ahh, we're finally alone..." 
         "All right, pussycat... Come to daddy!" 

(Cloud reluctantly comes to the bed...) 

Don Corneo 
         "You're so cute, I never get tired of looking at you." 
         "Do you like me, too?"

         "No way!" 
         "Hmm? Barret? That sounds familiar..." 

Cloud 
         "You know, he's one of the ones you were trying to find out 
about. You know, AVALANCHE...?" 

Don Corneo 
         "Oh, yeah, yeah. In Sector 7 in the slum..."

***Cloud

Don Corneo

Cloud

Cloud 
         "Because I'm gonna have to use that mouth of yours to give me 
some information!!"

Scene 20
- I'll Smash Them - 

(Cloud, Tifa, and Aerith are in Don Corneo's bedroom) 

Tifa 
         "Shut up, we're asking the questions now..." 
         "What did your assistants find out? Talk! If you don't tell 
us..." 

(Cloud puts a foot up on the bed.) 

Cloud 
         "...I'll chop them off." 

(Don jumps.) 

Don Corneo 
         "No! Not that! I'll talk! I'll tell you everything!" 

Tifa 
         "So... talk." 

Don Corneo 
         "...I made 'em find out where the man with the gun-arm was. But 
that's what I was ordered to do." 

Tifa 
         "By who?" 

Don Corneo 
         "No--! If I told you that, I'd be killed!" 

Tifa 
         "Talk! If you don't tell us..." 

(Aerith puts her foot up on the bed.) 

Aerith 
         "...I'll rip them off." 

Don Corneo 
         "Waaaaah--! It was Heidegger of Shinra!" 
         "Heidegger, the head of Public Safety Maintenance!" 

Cloud 
         "The head of Public Safety Maintenance?" 

Tifa 
         "Did you say the Shinra!? What are they up to!? Talk!" 
         "If you don't tell us..." 

(Tifa puts her foot up on the bed.) 

Tifa 
         "I'll smash them." 

Don Corneo 
         "...You're serious, aren't you.... ...ohboy, ohboy, ohboy." 
         "... I'm not fooling around here either, you know." 
         "Shinra's trying to crush a small rebel group called AVALANCHE, 
and want to infiltrate their hideout." 
         "And they're really going to crush them... literally." 
         "By breaking the support holding up the plate above them." 

(Tifa steps back.) 

Tifa 
         "Break the support!?" 

Don Corneo 
         "You know what's going to happen? The plate'll go PING" 
         "and everything's gonna go BAMMM!! I heard their hideout's in the 
Sector 7 Slums..." 
         "I'm just glad it's not here in Sector 6." 

Tifa 
         "They're going to wipe out the Sector 7 Slums!?" 

(She turns to Cloud.) 
  
Tifa 
         "Cloud, will you come with me to Sector 7?" 

Cloud 
         "Of course, Tifa." 

(They all stand at the foot of the bed.) 

Don Corneo 
         "Just a second!" 

Cloud 
         "Shut up!" 

Don Corneo 
         "No wait, it'll only take a second." 
         "How do you think scum like me feels when they babble on about the 
truth?" 

<CHOICE> 
         They've pretty much given up on life 
         They're sure they'll win 
         They don't know what the hell's going on 

***Cloud 
         They've pretty much given up on life 

Don Corneo 
         "Buuzzzzz! Wrong!" 

***Cloud 
         They're sure they'll win 

Don Corneo 
         "Woo-hoo! Right!" 

***Cloud 
         They don't know what the hell's going on 

Don Corneo 
         "Close, but no cigar!" 
<//> 

(He flips a switch and Cloud, Aerith, and Tifa fall through a trap door to 
the sewer below...) 







Scene 21
- Shinra Plans -

(Heidegger approaches President Shinra's desk in the Shinra building. 
Reeve stands by the desk.) 

President Shinra 
         "How are the preparations going?" 

Heidegger 
         "Ha, ha, ha!! Smoothly, very smoothly! I assigned the Turks to 
this." 

Reeve 
         "President!! Are we really going to do this? Simply destroy a 
group with only a few members..." 

President Shinra 
         "What's the problem, Reeve? You want out?" 

(He gets up from his desk and walks around to the front, by Reeve.) 

Reeve 
         "...No." 
         "But, as head of the Urban Development Department, I have been 
involved in the building and running of Midgar. That's why..." 

Heidegger 
         "Reeve, you should flush those personal problems in the morning!" 

Reeve 
         "The Mayor's against this anyway...." 

(Heidegger shrugs.) 

Heidegger 
         "Mayor?" 
         "He just sits in his building all day feeding his face! You 
still call that a Mayor?" 

(He faces the President and salutes.) 

Heidegger 
         "Now if you'll excuse me sir!" 

(He leaves. Reeve follows after him a few steps, then stops, his arm 
outstretched.) 

President Shinra 
         "You're tired. Why don't you take a couple of days off and go 
somewhere." 

(Reeve exits.) 

President Shinra 
         "We'll destroy Sector 7 and report that AVALANCHE did it. Then 
we'll send in the rescue operation care of Shinra, Inc... Heh, heh, heh... 
this is perfect." 



  
  



Scene 22
- Encounter At The Reactor Tower -

(Cloud, Tifa, and Aerith fall down a chute, landing in a sewer. Cloud gets 
up and walks over to Aerith.)

Cloud 
         "You alright?" 

(Aerith stands up.) 

Aerith 
         "Yeah." 

(He walks over to Tifa.) 

Cloud 
         "You alright?" 

Tifa 
         "Man! This is terrible." 

Aerith 
         "Well, the worst is over..." 

(They hear a loud rumbling. Cloud looks around...) 

Aerith 
         "Maybe not..." 

(Boss battle with Aps) 

Tifa 
         "It's too late..... Marlene... Barret... the people of the slums." 

Aerith 
         "Don't give up, never give up hope. It's not easy to destroy the 
pillar, right?" 

Tifa 
         "......Yeah..... you're right! We still have time." 

(They work their way out of the sewer, arriving at the Train Graveyard, a 
vast wasteland of broken trains and rubble.) 

Cloud 
         "Aerith. I got you mixed up in all of this..." 

Aerith 
         "Don't tell me to go home." 

(Tifa looks around.) 

Tifa 
         "Let's see... If we can just get past the trains that are lit up, 
we should be able to get out of here." 

(They climb over and through the trains in the Graveyard until they reach 
the Reactor Tower. Several people are milling around the base of it, and 
we hear noises of shooting from above.) 

Tifa 
         "We made it! The pillar's
standing!" 

Cloud 
         "Wait! You hear something.... above us?" 

Aerith 
         ".....gun fire?" 

(The camera shifts to show the tower, slowly panning upward, until we see 
the top of the tower. Guns are blazing. At the top, we see a flash of 
gunfire, then someone falls twenty stories down to land at the base of the 
tower. It's Wedge. Cloud dashes over and kneels by him.) 

Cloud 
         "Wedge!! You all right!?" 

Wedge 
         ".......Cloud...... You remembered..... my name." 
         "Barret's up top. ...help him......." 
         "An' Cloud.... Sorry, I wasn't any help." 

(Cloud, after a silent pause, stands.) 

Cloud 
         "I'm going up!" 
         "Aerith! You look after Wedge." 

(Tifa walks to Aerith.) 

Tifa 
         "Aerith, do me a favor." 
         "I have a bar called '7th Heaven' in this neighborhood." 
         "There's a little girl named Marlene there......" 

(Aerith nods.) 

Aerith 
         "Don't worry. I'll put her somewhere safe." 

Tifa 
         "It's dangerous here!" 
         "Everyone get away from the pillar, quickly!" 
         "Everyone get out of Sector 7!" 

(They all scatter. Cloud and Tifa climb the tower.) 

People by the tower 

         "L, look... This is my job, so I have to be here until the 
absolute last minute." 
         "Umm.... I just LOVE men with a sense of duty. Let me stay here 
with you." 

         "Uhh..... Help! My strange and wonderful little place." 

         "Doh! And this was supposed to be my last job! Do something!!" 
         "I never thought this would ever happen to me! Great..... I'm 
quitting tomorrow!" 

         "Uh oh..... There goes the pillar." 
         "I'm scared, but it's for you own good." (sells items) 
         "If things get too h
