Eternal Legend - Final Fantasy VIII - Script - Disc 1
Final Fantasy VIII Script
Introductory movie
A montage of scenes, focusing around two men fighting in the mountains and a woman in a field. One of the men uses magic to stun the other, and then slashes his forehead with his sword. Just as the other retaliates with his own sword attack, the scene ends.
Infirmary
Squall, the one who suffered, is lying on the bed. After a while, he awakens.
Dr. Kadowaki: How are you feeling?
* (Ok, I guess)
(Squall): ......Ok.
* Todo
Dr. Kadowaki: Take it easy next time, you hear?
Dr. Kadowaki: Looks like your eyes are focusing. You should be fine. Say your name for me.
Dr. Kadowaki (nods): Why don't you take it easy in training? Next time you might not be so lucky.
Squall: Tell that to Seifer.
Dr. Kadowaki: That Seifer... Won't listen to anyone. Why don't you ignore him?
Squall: I can't just run away.
Dr. Kadowaki: You wanna be cool, huh? Well, don't get hurt in the process.
Dr. Kadowaki: Let's see, your instructor is...
Dr. Kadowaki: Quistis! I'll call her now. Just wait here a minute.
She leaves. Squall lies back down.
Dr. Kadowaki: Quistis? Come get your student. Yes, yes... His injury's not serious. It'll probably leave a scar. ......Right. Now please come by.
A side view of Squall shows someone looking in at him through the window.
Squall... so we meet again.
He turns to face her, and she leaves.
FMV of Quistis entering the infirmary, and seeing Squall.
Quistis: I knew it'd be either you or Seifer!
Squall sits up. Quistis makes to leave.
Quistis: Come on, let's go. Today's the field exam.
Hallway leading from the infirmary
Quistis: Squall. Is there something on your mind?
Squall and Quistis simultaneously: ...Not really.
Quistis stops walking, and laughs.
Quistis: Hahaha!
Squall: What's so funny?
Quistis: Funny? No, no, it's not that! I'm just happy.
Quistis: I feel like I'm beginning to understand my student a little. That's all.
Squall: I'm more complex than you think.
Quistis: Then tell me.
Quistis: Tell me more about yourself.
They walk on.
Squall: It's none of your...
Quistis: ...Business!
She laughs again. They continue walking, and we see an FMV pan of their location, Balamb Garden. Students mill around.
A classroom
Squall enters, and goes to his seat. A little later, Quistis enters and waves. The rest of the students go to their seats.
Quistis: Good morning, class.
Quistis: Let's start with today's schedule.
She sits.
Quistis: There seem to have been some rumours flying around since yesterday... Yes, the field exam for SeeD candidates will begin later this afternoon.
Two students look suitably shocked.
Quistis: Those not participating and those who failed last week's written test are to remain here in study hall.
Quistis: Field exam participants will have free time until the exam. Just be sure you're in top condition.
Quistis: Meet in hall at 1600 hours. I'll announce the team assignments there.
Quistis: Any questions?
Quistis: Oh, and Seifer!
Quistis: So NOT injure your partner while training. Be careful from now on.
He looks over at Squall, and bangs his fist on the desk.
Quistis: Field exam participants, I will see you all later.
Everyone but Squall gets up and starts leaving.
Quistis: And Squall, I need to talk to you.
He stands.

Quistis: You won't be able to take part in today's SeeD exam if you don't pass this prerequisite.
(Squall): (...I was gonna go this morning, but Seifer...)
Quistis: Hm? Do you have a good excuse?
Squall: ...Not really.
Quistis: Then let's get going.
Quistis: If you're not too confident yet, you can review your studies at the [study panel].
Quistis: I'll be waiting at the [front gate], so come down when you're ready.
Quistis: You can access the [study panel] from [your seat].
She leaves.

* Male student: Alone with Instructor Trepe...

* Left student: I...I'm so jealous! Maybe I should take up that subject, too...

* Middle student: Should anything happen to Instructor Trepe, the 'Trepies' will get you back!

They all leave.
Corridor
I'm late, I'm late, I'm LATE!!!
A student, Selphie, runs into Squall, and falls over.
(Selphie): Waaah!
* Are you ok?
Squall: Are you ok?
She gets up with a little hop.
Something.
(Selphie): Tee-hee, I'm fine.
* Todo
(Selphie): Sorry. I was kinda in a hurry.
(Selphie): Oh yeah! Hey, did you just come from that class?
She looks around.
(Selphie): Is...... homeroom over?
Squall nods.
(Selphie): Woo... Oh, nooo...
(Selphie): This place is soooo much bigger than my last Garden!
(Selphie): Oh, hey, hey.
(Selphie): I just transferred here. Do you think you could give me a quick tour of this Garden?
* Sure
Todo
* Don't have the time
Squall: Don't have the time.
(Selphie): Oh, bummer. That's too bad.
(Selphie): Well, see ya.
She waves and walks off.
