Receptionist: Excuse me! If you don't have an appointment, you'll have to...
Barret: I don't need no appointment... This is a 'mergency! And anyone who don't wanna get their face bashed in better git outta the way!!

* TV
Movie advertising cars.
* Keep: Welcome. Our special today is... Eagghhh!!
She backs away.
Here, t, take the money...
Barret: I don't want your money. AVALANCHE ain't no packa criminals. We jus' want back what your boss stole from us.
A, AVALANCHE?
Barret: We ain't gonna hurt you. We might even pay ya, if ya help us.
She steps forward.
Ok... ok... well...

Lift
* Panel
Tifa: ...What's wrong?
Cloud: I didn't want to start a ruckus till we saved Aerith. I should have known that was impossible though...
Barret: Heh, heh, heh.
Cloud: What is it? You're givin' me the willies.
Barret: So there are times when even you fight for other people. I am impressed.
Cloud (looks away): Who cares if you're impressed?
Barret: Y'know, I ain't so good at sayin' this but... Sorry... for... lots of things.
An alarm goes off. They look around.
Barret: Wh, what the!?
Tifa: Look!
She points at the floor number.
Barret: DA-MN!
Barret: Just stop it, Cloud! I don't care where!
* Tifa: What's going on!?
* Barret: Just stop it, Cloud! I don't care where!
* Panel
The lift stops on a floor higher than the last. They all aim for the door as it opens.
Battle: Depends on the floor.
Stairwell
* Leave
Tifa and Barret run down the stairs.
Tifa: Wait a minute, Cloud!
Barret: Yo... You really gonna take these stairs all the way up?
Tifa: Well we've got to get to Aerith to help her somehow.
Barret: Of all of the out of the way...
Tifa: I don't have time to argue with you! I'm going!
Barret: Yup, yo Tifa! Don't go alone!
Barret: Don't know... why... the hell... we gotta... climb...
Cloud: ...because we don't want to start a commotion until we've saved Aerith.
Cloud: If that's possible...
Barret: ...heh heh heh.
Cloud: Knock it off. You're giving me the creeps.
Barret: So even you will fight for someone else. Guess I figured you wrong.
Cloud: Who cares what you figured!
Barret: I'm just sayin' mebbe I was wrong...
Tifa: heh heh heh... ...
Cloud: What's that supposed to mean, Tifa?
Barret: ...how much farther do these stairs go on?
Tifa: Why don't you ask them?
Barret: It's not one of them endless stairways or somethin', is it?
Tifa: Of course not!!
Barret: Right... couldn't be that...
Barret: Are we there yet?
Tifa: Not yet.
Barret: ...there yet?
Tifa: I said not yet!
Barret: Yo...
Tifa: Look, don't even ask! We're way way way way far away from being there, OK!?
Barret: Damn, man! I've had it! I'm going back!
Tifa: It'll take just as long to go down as it did to come up.
Barret: ...
* Stopping point
Tifa: C'mon, Barret. Pull it together!
Barret: Yeah well, all I know is I'm only flesh 'n' blood... 'cept for this arm of mine. Don't treat me like I'm some ex-SOLDIER or somethin'...
Tifa: What about me!? I'm human too! Oh, do what you want, I'm going on!
She goes on a bit.
Tifa: ...?
Tifa: Yaah! Barret! You go first!
Barret: What're ya ignorant? ...I didn't mean that.
Tifa: All right, all right!
Barret leads.
Tifa: Cloud, you go on ahead too!!
* Tifa: Cloud, you go on ahead too!!
Floor 59
* Lift / Stairs
Barret: Hey Cloud! We come this far, and you're thinkin' of goin' back down to the first floor?
* No
* Yeah
Barret: No time for that now! Stop messin' around, boy!
* Near guards
Destroy the intruders!
Battle 3xMighty Grunt
Cloud: What's this?
He kneels.
<Keycard 60>
Lift
* Select locked floor
You don't have a Card Key.
* Tifa: I hope Aerith is all right.
* Barret: This is the real thing. Don't let your guard down.
Movie of sleeping guard in front of CCTVs. Close up on one of a lift door. Cloud comes through and looks around.
Floor 60
* Right guard: Your kind don't belong here! Go on, get out!
* Left guard: What're you doing here? Unauthorized personnel aren't allowed here!!
* Door
Barret: Look at all them guards runnin' around. Cloud, you go on ahead and signal us when it's safe to move.
* Tifa: Stay in the shadows!
* Barret: When those guards turn around, MOVE!
* Get caught
Hey there! What do you think you're doing there?
Battle 2xMighty Grunt. Attack from both sides.
Barret: What the hell're ya doin'? Man, you gotta do it again!
* Half way
Wait for the soldiers to turn, then push [OK] to signal the others!
* Fail N times
The guards are gone.
Barret: I shoulda known it'd turn out like this... If I knew it'd be like this in the first place...
Tifa: Shhh! Now let's move on.
* Make it across
Barret: OK! We gonna rock!
Tifa: Remember we're here to save Aerith.
Barret: Hell, I know that!
Floor 61
* Couple
I thought I heard a ruckus downstairs a minute ago. Do you know what that was all about?
No idea. But no need to worry, because everything above the 60th floor is safe.
* Turkalike: This is the lounge floor. Above us are the special floors for the company big wigs. It's tough working under someone. It wears you out.
* Tree man: What's keeping her? Did she forget hey keycard? Even employees can't access floors above the 60th without a keycard.
* Suited man: The hell are you? What're you doin' around here?
* Where's Aerith?
Aerith? How did you know that name? You must be... Aerith, you mean that kid. The receptionist? I was startin' to worry about her, too. And so another rival appears on the scene, eh? You mean she's not? It's someone else?
* ...
Oh, I see. So you must be that whatcha call it... Shinra, In. Repair Devision!! You know, this building looks like it's starting to fall apart. This door was just pushed open. You ought to fix this right away. Oh yeah, and take a look on the other floors, too. Here, take this.
<Keycard 62>
* Suited man: This door is stuck wide open. Better fix this right away.
* Redhead: I don't remember seeing your face before... You new here? Say, you're cute. Let me teach you some things.
* Um, I'm kinda in a hurry...
Oh? That's too bad...
* Things?
Wipe that stupid look off your face. I was only going to teach you how to get to the next floor. The higher ups in the company use the floors above the 60th floor. But you can't get there without a keycard. Get a keycard and you can use the elevators freely.
Ping!
...voila! Here My error? that sound and the door will open. Just remember there are different types of cards. One keycard alone won't let you go everywhere. For example, 'Keycard 60' only takes you to the 60th floor. 'Keycard 65' only takes you to the 65th floor. It's a security system worthy of Shinra. After all, they control everything in Midgar and in the world for that matter. Oh, I have to go. Gotta get back to work!
