Eiko: I'M HOME!!!
The moogles arrive.
Eiko: Moco told me the news. Are you alright?
Morrison: Come now! Talk later, kupo!
(Moogle): Kupo!
(Moogle 2): Kupo!!!
They go.
Zidane: H-Hey, Eiko?
Zidane: We'd better follow her!

- Phoenix Down: Left chest.
- Survival Vest: Other chest.
(Zidane): What's going on, Eiko?
Eiko: It's... It's...
Eiko: The precious stone that has been passed down in this village for generations is gone!
Eiko: My grandparents said...
Eiko: They said that we should take care of it because it's a symbol of the summoners' heritage.
Zidane: Well...how about crying for a change? It'll help.
Eiko: I'm not gonna cry! I'm a grown-up now, and crying won't help one bit!
Zidane: Alright. How about we start looking for clues?
Dagger: I'll help, too.
They look around.
(Eiko): <Hiccup.>
(Eiko): Is it...
(Eiko): <Hiccup.>
(Eiko): Is it my fault?
(Eiko): <Hiccup.>
Eiko: Is it 'cause I broke my promise and opened the Iifa Tree's seal?
(Eiko): <Hiccup.>
Eiko: Everyone...everyone was watching over the stone.
(Voice): Eiko?
Zidane: It just happened that way! It wasn't your fault.
(Eiko): <Hiccup.>
Zidane: Besides, we're the ones who made you open the seal!
Zidane: You understand, right? The real villain is the thief who stole it.
Zidane: So, let's just look for some clues and get that stone back, okay?
(Eiko): <Hiccup.>
(Eiko): Okay!
Eiko: I wasn't going to cry, you know. After all, I'm a grown-up!
Zidane: We know, Eiko. But if you feel like crying, just cry.
Eiko: I'm gonna go pray to my grandparents! I'll be right back.
She leaves.
Zidane: If you need to, you can cry, too, Dagger.
Zidane: My shoulder's always available.
Dagger: Yeah, thanks.
Dagger: What about you, Zidane?
Dagger: What do you do when you need to cry?
Zidane: Oh, I get real clingy when I'm sad!
(Dagger): Cut it out!
Zidane: Hey, I was serious.
(Dagger/Zidane): !!!
Dagger: I heard a scream. It sounded like Eiko!
Zidane: Dammit! The thief was still here!
Vivi (enters): Zidane, I saw her! It's that girl from Fossil Roo! She took Eiko...
Vivi: They went to the Eidolon Wall!
(Zidane): Let's go!

Eiko: This is no way to treat a lady!

Eiko: My grandpa gave it to me! Get your grubby hands off it!

Zidane: Mog, I need your help to save Eiko.
Mog: Ku-Kupo...
Zidane: I got an idea. It's alright. You won't be in any danger.
Mog: Ku...po...
Morrison: It's no use. Mog has always been a coward.
Zidane: Yeah... Well, we gotta do something.

Eidolon Wall
Lani: Well, so there's my good sir knight.
Zidane: What have you done to Eiko!?
Lani: She was too rambunctious, so I put her to sleep with a sleeping weed.
Zidane: Sleeping weed, eh? Then she's probably sleeping well.
Dagger: If it's my pendant you're after, then leave the others out of it!
Lani: No can do. This is way too convenient to pass up!
Lani: Hand over your pendant, and I'll hand over the girl, capice?
Lani: What happened to the pendant that you always have on!?
Zidane: I have it.
Lani: Oh, you really are a good knight. Now, cough it up already!
Zidane: First, tell me something. Was it you who stole the village stone?
Lani: Queen Brahne is after the royal pendant.
Lani: I found another jewel just like it in this village!
Lani: I'm glad I came all this way looking for it!
Lani: Now, hand it over!
Zidane: (If only Eiko was conscious...)
He steps forward.
Lani: Hold on!
Lani: You're plotting something, aren't you? Stay right there!
(Zidane): Grr!
Lani: You, black mage!
Vivi: Huh? M-Me?
Lani: Bring me the pendant!
Lani: Remember, do as I say if you value this brat's life!
Vivi: Zidane...
Zidane: Do it, Vivi.
Vivi: O-Okay...
He takes the pendant and walks over to Lani.
Lani: Hahaha...
(Voice): Hold it!
Amarant leaps in, unsettling the group.
(Lani): Aaa!!!
Zidane: I dunno who you are, but thanks!
(Amarant): ......
(Eiko): <Yawn.>
(Zidane): Yo! Can you stand?
Eiko: Huh? What's going on?
(Eiko): !!!
She stands.
Eiko: Where's that old hag?
Lani: Oh, that's it! Who are you calling a hag!?
Eiko: You!
Zidane: So, the tables turn! Now, hand over the jewel you stole!
Lani: What are you tryin' to do, Red!?
She draws her weapon.
Lani: I thought you're supposed to be the number one bandit!
Dagger: I've seen him before...!
Dagger: He's the one with wanted posters all over Treno!
Red-headed Man: I'm not here to help. I just want it to be fair.
(Lani): What are you talking about?
Red-headed Man: Leave the jewel and get out of here.
Lani: What!? We're partners on this job!
Red-headed Man: I don't work with hostage-taking scumbags. Now, get lost.
Red-headed Man: Or...would you rather fight me?
Lani: Mark my words! I'll collect the bounty on YOU someday!
She leaves.
(Red-headed Man): Now, fight me!
Zidane: Just a second here. What's going on?
Red-headed Man: I told you. I'm not here to help. I just want to level the playing field.
Zidane: Fair enough. Let's do it.
(Dagger): Zidane!
(Zidane): It's okay.
Zidane: I was just looking for more ways to impress you!
Battle: Scarlet Hair
(Red-headed Man): I...lost?
Red-headed Man: Go on. Finish me!
(Zidane): Can you stand?
(Red-headed Man): ......
Zidane: Give back what you stole.
(Red-headed Man): ......
He does so.
Zidane: Eiko, I got it back!
Red-headed Man: Now, finish me!
Zidane: You wanna die that bad? I just spared your life.
Red-headed Man: So you want to banish me, then?
Zidane: You can go if ya want. I won't follow you.
Red-headed Man: Aha! Trying to trick me, eh?
(Zidane): Trick you?
Red-headed Man: I tried to kill you! Why are you letting me go?
Zidane: The fight's over, and we're both still alive. Good enough, right?
Zidane: We got back what was stolen from us, after all.
Red-headed Man: Listen to you. I lost to some spineless thief.
Zidane: The sly eagle doesn't kill at whim.
(Red-headed Man): ......
He leaves.
Zidane (to Eiko): Keep that in a safe place.
Eiko: I will! Thanks, Zidane!
Eiko: Well!? You're not going to leave me alone after what just happened, are you!?
(Vivi): Huh?
(Eiko): I'm going!
And she does, followed by Vivi.
(Dagger): ......
(Zidane): Shall we?
She nods.

Eiko: My grandfather told me not to leave the village until my sixteenth birthday...
Eiko: But I want to go with you guys! I really do!
Eiko: Do you think it's okay if I leave the village?
* Yes
Zidane: I'll agree if that's what you want.
Zidane: 'Eiko, come with us. Forget what your grandpa said.'
* No
Zidane: You want me to stop you? Fine.
Zidane: 'Stay here 'til you're sixteen. Keep the promise you made to your grandpa.'
(Eiko): ......
Zidane: It doesn't matter what I say. You've already made up your mind.
(Eiko): ......
Zidane: Don't you have something to say to her, Vivi?
(Vivi): Huh?
(Eiko): ......
Vivi: Remember what you taught me at the Iifa Tree?
Vivi: You said I shouldn't ever lie to myself.
Vivi: I'll try to be more honest with my own feelings... You should, too, Eiko...
(Eiko): Hmmm...
Eiko: I forgot my own advice, Vivi! Thanks!
Eiko: I'll wear the jewel as an earring. It'll be okay then, right, Zidane?
<Memory Earring>
(Dagger): Eiko?
Dagger: I think Mog wants to talk to you.
Mog enters.
(Mog): Ku-Kupo.
(Eiko): ......
(Mog): Kuuupoh!
Eiko: What? You think I'm mad at you?
Eiko: I'm furious! You went off without me again! You promised me you wouldn't!
Eiko: What would you do if you went off and got into trouble!?
(Mog): Kupo...
Eiko: Oh well. Thank goodness we're both alright.
Vivi: You're always nice to Mog, aren't you, Eiko?
Eiko: Well, yeah. We're best friends, after all!
Eiko: We were born on the same day, and we have always been together!
Eiko: This is our friendship ribbon! Mog gave it to me!
Eiko: Mog, do you have the ribbon I gave you?
(Mog): Kupo!
She holds it up.
Eiko: This is the one I gave to Mog!
Eiko: It's too big for her now, but once we're both sophisticated ladies, we'll wear them together!
(Mog): Kupo!
Eiko: Maybe then, Zidane, you'll dance with me?
(Eiko): Zidane?
Zidane: I didn't know Mog was a girl...
Kitchen
Zidane: I wonder where Dagger went...?
* Chimomo: They were born on the same day, but Eiko came out first.
Chimomo: Maybe that's why Eiko has always been the big sister.
* Chimomo: Quina was fishing here.
Chimomo: But all the sudden, s/he said, 'They no here!' And then, 'They leave me!'
Chimomo: S/he said, 'I swim home!' and jumped into the ocean, kupo.

Zidane: From down there?
Zidane: Dagger, you there?
Harbour
(Dagger): Zidane...
Zidane: It's okay. Keep singing. 'Cause it's our song, right?
Zidane: I'm surprised you found this place.
Zidane: You got the talent to be a bandit! How 'bout you and me team up? We'll call ourselves 'The Betrothed.'
Dagger: My talent's up to snuff, but that name isn't.
Zidane: Hehehe. You're really something these days.
Dagger: If I am, I must've gotten it from you.
Zidane: Naw... It's all because you made the effort to learn.
Dagger: No, it's because you stuck with me.
Dagger: Without you, I couldn't have made it to Lindblum, much less seen a whole new continent.
Dagger: Everything I tried to do on my own was a total failure. I couldn't stop my mother...
Dagger: At times I almost lost hope...
Dagger: You helped me so much... Not just you, either.
Zidane: Yeah... Vivi and Eiko helped out at the Iifa Tree. Quina was real helpful when we left the continent.
Zidane: Freya, Steiner... and even Beatrix, who I thought was our enemy.
Dagger: I haven't forgotten... I want to believe everyone is alright, but sometimes I just can't.
He hops in the boat.
Dagger: I hope I can live up to the hopes of everyone who has helped me.
Zidane: You don't have to feel so responsible, Dagger.
(Dagger): But I do!
Zidane: Nobody wants you to feel that way.
Zidane: They didn't do it all for you, either. Each was following his own path.
Dagger: His own...path?
Dagger: Well, what about you?
(Zidane): Huh?
Dagger: Why did you come with me?
Zidane: Hey, that's Ipsen's line.
Dagger: Ipsen? Who's that?
Zidane: Ipsen is a character from a play, but he's a real-life adventurer. I think the play is based on his adventures.
Zidane: It kind of goes like this...
Black
Ipsen and his good friend Colin worked at a tavern in Treno.
One day, Ipsen got a letter. The letter was so wet from the rain that most of the writing was illegible.
The only part he could read said "Come back home."
Nowadays, we have airships and stuff, but back then, it was really hard to travel.
He didn't know why he had to go back, but he got some time off, gathered his things, and set out on his journey home.
He walked a thousand leagues through the Mist. Sometimes he was attacked by vicious monsters, but he made it, because his friend Colin was by his side.
And then, after much time on the road...
He had to ask Colin something.
"Why did you come with me?"
Harbour
Dagger: And? What was Colin's answer?
Zidane: 'Only because I wanted to go with you.'
The boat drifts out to sea.
Outside
Dagger: Zidane...
Dagger: I...
(Dagger): ...
Zidane: Dagger?
Dagger: Can't you... Can't you hear the song?
(Zidane): Huh!?
Zidane: Yeah... It's that song!
Dagger: How come... Who's singing it!?
(Dagger): !!!
Dagger: The sunset makes the Eidolon Wall look like it's on fire!
Dagger: I've seen this somewhere before...
Zidane: What? Where?
FMV: Dagger has a flashback; Madain Sari ravaged by fire, with a large eye hovering over it. The waves toss her boat, in which there is another passenger... It's the scene from the introduction.
Zidane: Dagger!
He holds her as she faints.
Zidane: Dagger!? Wake up!
Inside
Zidane: Where's Vivi?
Eiko: He's sleeping. I don't wanna wake him up.
Zidane: Well?
Dagger: I have no memory of my early childhood.
Dagger: I never really thought about it.
Dagger: Besides, nobody ever told me.
Dagger: I was raised in Alexandria... but only from the age of six or so.
Zidane: Six!? So where were you till then?
Dagger: Until then... Until I turned six...
Dagger: I must have been here, in Madain Sari.
Rocks
Dagger: I still can't remember everything. Some things are like they're shrouded in fog.
(Dagger): But I do remember one thing...
Dagger: About ten years ago, an unbelievably huge hurricane hit this village. That's as far as I remember.
Dagger: That day, I...I was with my true mother on a little boat, far from the village.
Dagger: There's a cove behind Eiko's house, right? The boat I was on was just like the one there.
Dagger: It all came back to me when I heard that song on the boat.
Zidane: That song is from Madain Sari... So that's why nobody else knows it.
Eidolon Wall
Eiko: How did you get to Alexandria?
Eiko: How come you got to be a princess?
Eiko: How come you don't have a summoner's horn?
Dagger: I don't know.
Dagger: But maybe Doctor Tot can tell me.
Dagger: About the lady who protected me from the storm as the boat lurched about in the waves...
Dagger: My biological mother, who died on that boat.
Zidane: (The woman she thought was her mother became someone else, and her true mother was already dead...)
Zidane: (Dagger has lost two mothers...)
More Wall
Dagger: I used to pray every day here, at the Eidolon Wall.
(Eiko): You, too?
(Dagger): You pray here, too, Eiko?
Dagger: I'm so happy I remembered.
(Eiko): Dagger!
(Eiko): Welcome home!
(Dagger): So glad to be back.
(Eiko): Ahaha.
(Dagger): What?
Eiko: I just realized I'm not alone anymore!
(Eiko): Yep, I made up my mind!
Eiko: Zidane, Dagger, I'm going with you!
Eiko: I'll be breaking my promise to my grandpa, but I wanna go!
Eiko: Besides, grandpa always told me to be honest with myself!
Dagger: I don't know what the future holds...
Dagger: But I want to finish what I came here for.
Zidane: So do I!
Zidane: Let's all go together!
Eiko: Come on, Dagger, let's go pray together!
(Dagger): Alright!
Entrance
Dagger: (I still don't know what I should do...)
Dagger: (By the time we defeat Kuja and return to Alexandria...)
Eiko: Grandpa, I'll be back soon!
Vivi: Oh, you're coming with us!?
Eiko: Hey! Why the long face!?
Vivi: Oh, nothing... My face is always like this.
Eiko: Mog's coming, too!
(Eiko): Mog!!!
Mog flies over, and the other moogles pop up.
(Moogles): Kupo!
(Morrison): Lady Eiko!
Morrison: Now, don't forget that you'll always have a home in Madain Sari.
Morrison: Don't let our memory become a burden. You must always be light-hearted and free.
Morrison: Thoughts of the Eidolon Wall will always lift your heart.
The moogles scatter as Amarant approaches.
Zidane: What now? You want some more, eh?
Red-headed Man: The victor lives, the defeated die. You know the rules.
Red-headed Man: Your actions yesterday were incomprehensible to me.
Red-headed Man: Tell me! Why didn't you kill me!?
Zidane: Well, that's a tough question...
Zidane: Are you really that unhappy that I let you live?
Red-headed Man: I'd rather die as a warrior than live as a beggar.
Zidane: Then come with me.
(Dagger): Zidane!?
(Vivi): What!?
Red-headed Man: What are you after?
Zidane: Follow me and maybe you'll understand.
Zidane: Besides, you're pretty good in a fight.
Zidane: We could use someone like you. We're hunting a man down.
Red-headed Man: (Hmph. His only constant is his unpredictability...)
Zidane: Huh? You say somethin'?
Red-headed Man: Very well. I'll find out what makes you so strong.
Zidane: What's your name?
Red-headed Man: Call me what you will.
Zidane: Hmm... Lani called you 'Red,' right?
Red-headed Man: Some call me the Flaming Amarant.
Zidane: Fine. We'll call you Amarant.
Zidane: The more the merrier. Let'd decide our marching order.
Zidane: Alright. We'll do fine.
Zidane: Just follow me!
Zidane: Next stop, the Iifa Tree!
