The group disembark. Yuffie takes a moment to have a quick meeting with a local guy, probably destroying his relationship with the local girl. She then returns to the party.
Barret: Damn! Sure is hot here! But I feel better now that I can say goodbye to this sailor suit. Yo listen up!! Y'all be sure to mingle like regular folks here.
Aerith: Oh, too bad. I liked Barret's sailor suit. He looked so cute.
Barret: ...What'ya mean 'cute'?
Tifa: Right... well, uh... Barret, why don't you use that sailor suit for pajamas. Right, Cloud?
* I guess
Cloud: Ahhh... You look like a bear wearing a marshmallow.
Barret: The hell's that supposed to mean!? This happens to be the most comfortable, so shu'up!
* Todo
Red XIII: ...puff...puff... Would you kindly hurry? The heat here is drying out my nose.
Yuffie: Yeah, mine too!!
Cloud: All right. We'll take a break and then head off. Don't wander too far off.
Barret {Barret}: I'll wander wherever I damn well want! Who made him the leader?
Red XIII {Red XIII}: It looks like my mane got messed up. I'm going to rest somewhere cool.
Aerith {Aerith}: Maybe I should get a tan for a change. Which do you like, Cloud?
* I like fair complexions
Aerith: Got it. I'll remember that.
* Todo
Todo: Tifa, Yuffie
The party disperses.
* (Man): Heh, heh... I hear the Shinra brass are arriving soon. Heh, heh! Got nothing to do with us, does it?
* (Woman): But a bunch of hard working deckhands like you wouldn't understand. On the marine blue sea, Gazing at the eternal skies that seem to go on forever... Gives you the feeling like you've taking a nap on the wing of a Cessna. It's the ultimate high!
* (Sailor): You're stowaways, right? It's okay. I'm used to them. The truth is, before I worked here, I was one of the best.
* (Sailor): Costa del Sol... a harbor paradise where the sun always shines and it's summer all year round! Hmm... Things aren't going well... You can go sightseeing in the city.
* (Runner): Don't bug me. This is Rufus's first official visit since becoming President. It seems like he's here on business this time. I'm so jealous of him I could spit. We're both about the same age but he's President.
* (ATC): Oh crap... The manager of Shinra won't come down. Even though the President's here on business. All he does is play, forgetting everything to do with work.
* Leave
The Shinra copter flies in, aided by the ATC crew.
Geez what a long boat ride!!
Rufus: Hmmm... Good work everyone...
Heidegger: Gya, haa, haa!! Hurry up with that!
(ATC): Yes, sir!!
Rufus and Heidegger talk in private.
Rufus: I heard Sephiroth was on board.
Heidegger: ...Yes.
Rufus: And it seems Cloud and the others were on board, too.
Heidegger: ...Yes.
Rufus: They all slipped through... You messed up big this time, Heidegger.
Heidegger: I'm ashamed of myself.
Rufus: Is that all you can do? Give one word answers and apologize for everything?
(ATC): Ready for departure, sir!!
Rufus heads for the chopper.
Rufus: Do somethig. I'll be expecting results.
Rufus flies off as Heidegger takes his anger out on the poor crewmen.
* (Man): Hey! Spread out, all of you, out!! Put any fingerprints, scratches, or dents on that plane and I'll put one in your head! Da plane, da plane!! This's something you'll never be able to do in your lifetime. So just watch from a distance... and wish.
* (Woman): He's quite handsome, isn't he? Oh, don't worry, I'm not talking about you. I'm talking about President Rufus. Charming, rich, blond... He even looks good in a double-breasted suit.
* (Runner): Rufus complimented me on my job! Wow!! It pays to do good work.
* Shinra manager: Oh, oh, oh!!! I'm gonna quit this company!! I mean it, I'm really gonna quit!! Heidegger's such an idiot!! And Rufus, acting all big!!
* Shinra manager: God, that sure felt good...
* (Crew): Damn. I'm soaking wet down to my underwear. Oops! You must be those AVALANCHE guys! Quick! Let's get outta here! Heidegger's in charge of the transport ship. That's tough for both of us.
* (Crew): The transport ship won't be sailing for quite awhile. Heidegger's orders.
Costa del Sol
* (Tourism): Say, aren't you bored?
* Not that much
(Tourism): Oh, really? I'm a little bored. Come on, back to work now!
* Todo
* (Tourism): Here you are! The Costa del Sol tourist information guide. What do you want to know?
* Where's the inn?
(Tourism): Let's see. I recommend a resort located on the outskirts of the city.
* Where's the stores?
(Tourism): If you're looking for souvenirs, we recommend Butch's.
* Show me around town
(Tourism): Wait a minute. I'm going to look at my guidebook. It says, Costa del Sol is the gateway to the West, and is a prominent worls renown resort, which has been around for ages. Come on! I don't care about that! If you want a good time, go to the beach! There are lots of beautiful women. You wouldn't happen to be... rich?
* Oh yeah...
(Tourism): You're kidding! You can't tell just by looking. But I'll tell you just in case. After relaxing in Costa del Sol, stop by the Gold Saucer. It's a rich and exciting place to play!
* Well, not so
(Tourism): I thought so. Are you interested? This is the road to Gold Saucer.
(Tourism): Head south to the Gold Saucer, and you'll find casinos and an amusement park. But if you're planning to walk, you'll have to cross mountains and valleys. I wouldn't recommend it. But if you're on vacation, you should go there at least once.
* (Women): Shall we play our hand around here?
* (Women): Not yet. Remember, no compromises.
* (Women): You're right. After all, this trip was expensive.
* (Women): But only your average Joes are trying to pick us up.
* (Women): Well, that's because we're just too beautiful and hard to approach.
* (Women): I guess so. Well, I envy the plain Janes.
* (Women): Why don't we compromise? We'll make do with what we have.
* (Women): Not yet. Remember, no compromises.
* (Girl): I heard. That big dog talks like a human. That's cool... but weird.
* (Boy): 1, 2, 3, here we go!
* Ball
Cloud kicks it really hard at Red XIII. He growls.
* Red XIII: Grrr...
* Red XIII: Hm, that's interesting. It's not as if I'm doing this because I want to. You see, this tail of mine, moves quite independently of my will.
* Butch: Yeah, I'd like to find a gorgeous chick and have a great time.
* (Shopkeep): How about some 'Soft' as a memento of this wonderful trip? Made especially in Costa del Sol!
Beach
Todo: Party other than Tifa & Yuffie, if that makes a difference to this scene
Aeris {Aeris}: Oh! Cloud!!
Tifa: Look, look at that!
Cloud: Hm?
* That girl in the bikini?
Cloud: Not a bad view...
Tifa: Who're you looking at? That man over there. That's Hojo from Shinra. Get outta here. Go talk to him!
* Who, Hojo?
Cloud: Is that man over there, Hojo?
Tifa: Go over and talk to him.
* Tifa: Go over and talk to him.
* Aerith: I have a bad feeling about this.
* (Surfer): heh heh... All the good ones are gone.
(Other): What about that one? Shall we make do with her?
(Surfer): But she's got a guy with her.
(Other): No problem, I can handle him.
(Surfer): Right? You thought so, too?
* (Woman): God!! What do you want?
* I want to talk with him.
(Woman): (Hey, who do you think you are?) Professor Hojo. That scary man says he wants to talk with you.
* Is that Hojo?
(Woman): (What's his problem?) Yes, that's right. It's the professor! Professor... someone's here to see you, sir.
Hojo: I'm busy right now. ...But, Too bad.
Cloud makes his presence known.
(Hojo): Heh heh heh... All right. You sure are loud. Long time no see, Cloud.
Aerith joins the conversation.
Cloud: Hojo...
Hojo: Sometimes you just gotta do something like this.
Cloud: What are you doing?
Hojo: It should be obvious, I'm getting a tan.
Cloud: Answer me!
Hojo: Hmm! I believe we're both after the same goal.
Cloud: You mean Sephiroth?
Hojo: Did you see him?
Hojo: I see... Ha! Ha!
He stands.
Cloud: What is it?
Hojo: Nothing. I just remembered a certain hypothesis... Haven't you ever had the feeling something is calling you? Or that you had to visit some place?
Cloud: I'll go anywhere Sephiroth is at! To beat him and put an end to all this!
Hojo: I see... This could be interesting. Were you in SOLDIER? Heh heh heh! Would you like to be my guinea pig?
Hojo: Oh, now what? Are you going to draw your sword?
Yuffie [Yuffie]: Knock it off, Cloud! Look I don't know, but he knows a lot of stuff, right?
Tifa [Tifa]: Stop, Cloud! I know how you feel, but you mustn't.
Aerith [Aerith]: Cloud, don't. If he dies, we won't find out anything.
Hojo: Ha! Ha! Ha!
Hojo: Say, aren't you the 'Ancient'?
Aerith: I'm Aerith. The least you can do is remember my name.
Aerith: I want you to tell me something, Professor Hojo...
Aerith: I know I'm an Ancient. My mother told me.
Hojo: Your mother? Oh, you mean Ifalna. How is she?
Aerith: You didn't know!? She died.
Hojo: ...I see.
Aerith: Professor Hojo? Is Jenova an Ancient? Is Sephiroth an Ancient? Do we all have the same blood?
Hojo: ...mumble...mumble...head west...
Aerith: He's mumbling slowly... That must mean he's hiding something!
Hojo gets back on the lounger.
Hojo: ...
[
Tifa: Hey! Answer us!!
]
Cloud (shrugs): It's no use. It's no go.
Aerith cries.
* (Left woman): I'd be happy to be a guinea pig, if it's for Professor Hojo!
* (Right woman): I'll interpret Professor Hojo's whispers. Head west, past Mt. Corel and keep going... Did you get that? I didn't understand it well, myself.
* (Lower woman): He never takes off his lab coat even in this heat. I guess that's the mark of an intellectual.
* (Surfer): If you're headed for Mt. Corel, then you'd better buy some " Soft ". At least that's what they always say, don't they? Be prepared, and you'll never fear. Hey, I'm no idiot. I NEVER count my chickens before they hatch! Not bad, huh?
* (Swimmer): Yipes!! Help!! ...breath...breath! Kind of takes your breath away, don't it!?
