Tall Guard: There's been a lot of trouble lately.
Short Guard: Oh, you mean about Burmecia?
Short Guard: I heard they were attacked by an army of soldiers wearing pointy hats.
Short Guard: I wanna go fight on the frontline. Instead, I'm rotting away in this stinkin' place.
Tall Guard: Really? I don't like wars. Why would someone start a war...?
Tall Guard: That guy who passed through here with the huge bag... Did he look suspicious to you?
Short Guard: No... I don't think so.
Tall Guard: But weren't you the one who thought he was suspicious?
Short Guard: You know me! I'm always like that.
Short Guard: I'm telling you, people who eat pickles are nice people.
Short Guard: I envy him. Gysahl pickles are the only pickles I can't eat.
Tall Guard: ...You're really confusing, you know that?
Short Guard: I know... Why do you think I ended up here?
Berkmea
Steiner: The conductor said we'll be arriving at the Summit Station soon.
Steiner: Prin...
Steiner: Ahem... Miss Dagger?
Steiner: She's sleeping...
Steiner: (The princess believes what she heard about Queen Brahne.)
Steiner: (Queen Brahne would never start a war... It's all a misunderstanding. She will see that when she talks to the queen.)
Steiner: (...I need not concern myself with such matters. My only mission is to protect the princess.)
Conductor: Summit Station! Summit Station!
Summit Station
They disembark.
Dagger: Thank you very much.
Conductor: Take care.
Conductor: You'll have to wait a while until the car to Alexandria arrives.
Dagger: How long will it be?
Conductor: It arrives when this car returns to Bohden Station, so...
Conductor: ...about as long as you just spent in the car.
Conductor: Why don't you go wait in the rest area up ahead?
Dagger: Okay.
Dagger: What's wrong, Steiner?
Steiner: P-Princess...
Dagger (angrily): Hey, what did I say about-
Steiner: It's Alexandria! We're finally home!
Dagger: Really...?
They run over to take a look.
Dagger: We're home...!
Dagger: But I still can't see the castle.
Steiner: Princess, Alexandria may only mean the castle to you, but...
Dagger: Hey, are you making fun of me for being naive?
Steiner: N-No, I'm not...
Dagger: It's okay. Let's go.
He salutes.
* Conductor: This car is going back to Lindblum territory.
* Map
Current Location: Summit Station
* Cable Car Enthusiast: Welcome to Summit Station! Do you know how the cable cars work?
* Yes
Cable Car Enthusiast: Good! Why not go to the rest area?
* No
Cable Car Enthusiast: The Berkmea cable cars were built 8 years ago. They are a symbol of the friendship between Lindblum and Alexandria!
Cable Car Enthusiast: They are powered by Mist engines, invented in Lindblum. The cars work by pulling on each other. When one car is at the bottom of the mountain, the other is at the top.
* Part-time Worker Mary: I'm more comfortable out here. The rest area is full of rowdy men.
Part-time Worker Mary: I wanted to stay by his side, but I have my work, too.

Steiner: Let us gather information while we wait for the car to Alexandria!
* Nazna Mognet
Nazna: A letter from Grimo? Kupo! Thanks for the delivery! (title: Mary's Unrequited Love)
From Grimo to Nazna
I feel so sad whenever I see Mary, that part-time worker.
Have you ever fallen in love? I've never fallen in love before, kupo. If watching someone else fall in love is so difficult, I wonder how difficult it is to actually fall in love myself?
Nazna: I'm never gonna fall in love! It's just not worth it...
Nazna: I'll give you this in exchange for delivery!
<Kupo Nut>
* Shopkeeper: Get your supplies together before you cross the border.
* Chef: Hey there, welcome!

Chef: Business is good! It's always busy here.
* Do you sell anything special?
Chef: Ah, yes! You gotta try our famous bundt cake!
Chef: The perfect gift for the family! Take one home today for your loved ones!
Chef: It's the world-famous South Gate Bundt Cake!
* Right Worker: South Gate serves as a gate to airships, as well as cable car travelers.
Worker: But the gate's broken right now; the airships can't pass through.
* Left Worker: I can't believe I'm stuck here, working in the middle of nowhere.
* Steiner: I am mapping out a plan for the rest of our journey!
* Attendant: The car to Alexandria will be arriving shortly.

(Someone): I missed my ride!
Dagger: ...? That voice sounds familiar.
Summit Station
Dagger sees Marcus and Cinna.
Dagger: That's...
Cinna: I missed my ride! What am I gonna do now!?
Marcus: How the heck should I know...?
Marcus: You were the one who wanted to watch the scenery while eating South Gate Bundt Cake.
Cinna: I'm gonna be late returning to Lindblum...
Marcus: There's nothing we can do. I won't tell the boss.
Cinna: Thanks, buddy!
Cinna: Let's eat another bundt cake!
Marcus: Geez...
They leave.
Rest area
(Steiner): Scoundrels!
(Dagger): ???
She approaches the group.
Steiner: Are you here to kidnap the princess again!?
Cinna: Who's the big tin man?
Steiner: WHAT!? How dare you!
Marcus: He's the captain of the Knights of Pluto.
Cinna: Oh yeah! You're one bad actor.
Steiner: Grrr...! Have you no respect?
* Steiner: Princess! You shouldn't waste your breath on criminals!
* Marcus
Marcus: You're Marcus, right? What are you doing here?
Marcus: Princess!? What are YOU doing here?
Cinna: Hey, check it out! It's the princess.
Marcus: When we escaped from Evil Forest...
Steiner: Princess! You shouldn't waste your breath on criminals!
* Cinna
Dagger: You must be Cinna. What are you doing here?
Cinna: Hey, check it out! It's the princess.
Marcus: Princess!? What are YOU doing here?
Cinna: When we escaped from Evil Forest...
Steiner: Princess! You shouldn't waste your breath on criminals!
* Cinna/Marcus: When we escaped from Evil Forest...
Steiner: Princess! You shouldn't waste your breath on criminals!
* Steiner: Princess...!
Dagger: Steiner! That's enough!
Steiner: Wh-Wha...!?
Dagger: Can't I even talk to my friends?
Steiner: Friends!? But they're...
Dagger: Adelbert Steiner!
(Steiner): Yes, Prin-ma'am!
Cinna: He's bein' scolded.
Marcus: How embarrassing.
There's a noise.
Attendant: The cable car to Alexandria has arrived!
Cinna: It's here!
Marcus: But you're goin' to Lindblum.
Cinna: I-I know that! But you're going to Alexandria!
Marcus: Yeah, I'm heading to Treno.
Cinna: I'll see you off!
They leave.
Dagger: Marcus is going to Treno, too?
Dagger: Let's go, Steiner.
Dagger: Steiner? Are you mad at me?
Steiner: No, ma'am! I'm coming along.
He leaves.
* Attendant: Cable car to Alexandria, now at Summit Station!

Cinna: Good luck!
Marcus: Yeah. I'll save our bro!
He gets on.
Dagger: ...Bro?
* Cinna
Dagger: Say, why is Marcus going to Treno?
Cinna: Are you going to Treno, too? Marcus's got a deal in Treno.
Dagger: A deal...?
Conductor: We'll be departing for Alexandria shortly.
Cinna: You'd better get on the car.
* Steiner: Princess, let us go inside.
* Conductor: We'll be departing for Alexandria shortly.
Berkmea
Conductor: Now departing.
It shudders, and starts to move.
Dagger: Why are you going to Treno, Marcus?
Marcus: To save our borther.
Dagger: Who?
Marcus: There's only one man I call 'Bro.' That's Blank.
Marcus: We've been gathering info to cure his petrification.
Marcus: We finally learned about an item called Supersoft that cures all forms of petrification.
Dagger: What about Cinna?
Marcus: Cinna's going to the Tantalus hideout in Lindblum to tell the others.
Dagger: I see...
Marcus: It's my turn for questions.
Dagger: Yes?
Marcus: Where's Zidane?
She turns away.
Dagger: We separated in Lindblum.
Marcus: Got rid of him as soon as he got you to Lindblum, huh?
Dagger: How could you say that!? It's only because Zidane kept treating me like a child!
Dagger: ...I don't care about him.
Marcus: Fine. Then I don't know anything.
(Dagger): ......
* Conductor: It'll be a while before we arrive in Alexandria.
* Steiner: I shall not meddle in your affairs!
* Part-time Worker Mary: I'm gonna work hard and help him open another shop.
* Marcus
Dagger: Say, Marcus... Um, is there any way I can help?
Marcus: Help with what?
Dagger: Well... I was partly responsible for what happened, so...
Marcus: No, thanks. We'll be fine on our own.
Dagger: But wouldn't it be better if-
Thud.
(Steiner): Wh-What was that!?
Conductor: It might be engine trouble! Please remain in your seats while I check.
He pops out.
(Conductor): Ahhhhhh!
He returns.
Conductor: It's a demon! A demon with a pointy hat!!!
Dagger: A pointy hat!?
Dagger and Steiner leave.
Marcus: What's wrong!?
He follows.
Outside
Marcus: What's going on!?
(Marcus): !!!
Black Waltz No. 3: Mission...retrieve... princess...alive...
Dagger: Isn't that the one we saw on the cargo ship?
Steiner: Monster! I'll finish you off this time!
Dagger: Wait, Steiner!
Dagger: Tell me something! Why do you want to capture me?
Steiner: Princess, it's too dangerous! Please stand back!
Black Waltz No. 3: Mission...retrieve... princess...alive...
Marcus: It's no use! It doesn't understand!
Dagger: But-
Black Waltz No. 3: Eliminate...all!
Battle: Black Waltz 3
(Dagger): Why...? Why...?
Dagger: What did he want with me?
Steiner: Princess...
Marcus: Burmecia was attacked by an army of black mage soldiers...
Dagger: ...I know.
Marcus: Those mages wiped out the people of Burmecia...
(Dagger): ......
Steiner: Who would do such a thing?
Marcus: Are you serious!? How ignorant can you be!?
Steiner: What do you mean!?
Dagger: Stop it, Steiner... I know who did it.
Steiner: Princess?
Dagger: We're almost in Alexandria...
Dagger: I must go to the castle and see my mother...
Dagger: She'll listen to me.
Seat on the Berkmea
Dagger sits with Marcus.
Dagger: I think we're almost there.
Marcus: So, you already heard about the attack on Burmecia.
Dagger: Of course. I'm not like Steiner.
Marcus: You've changed.
Dagger: Me? You mean the way I talk?
Marcus: Not just that.
Dagger: Well... A lot has happened.
Dagger: Oh, speaking of which...!
Marcus: Yeah?
Dagger: I've been through tons of battles. I'm a seasoned pro, now!
Marcus: What are you talking about?
Dagger: We need to find Supersoft and save Blank, right?
Marcus: You're gonna come along, even if I refuse, right?
Dagger: Of course I am! This is so exciting!
Dagger: I've always wanted to see the marvelous architecture of Treno. I can hardly wait!
Marcus: (On second thought, she hasn't changed that much.)
