| Zell | Ahhh!!! There's someone in my room and he's sleeping in my bed! |
| Ms. Dincht | It's alright. He's renting it out. I needed some extra chinyen and he needed a place to stay. |
| Zell | But the sacred... |
| Ms. Dincht | Oh, Zell, it'll be fine |
| Zell | Who is he? |
| Ms. Dincht | His name is Damien. He's the brother of Zanzibar. I'm sure you know him. |
| Zell | Holy Hell! Damien is the devil! Zanzibar is the black angel of death! |
| Ms. Dincht | Shhhh! You'll wake him. Besides, he has good references. Mrs. Aeriseth, from Trabia Garden, vouched for him. |
| Zell | But she went insane! After the Garden shattered she started talking to statues and she named her horse first consul! |
| Ms. Dincht | That doesn't mean anything. |
| Zell | She calls herself Nero Augustus Tiberius Caesar! |
| Ms. Dincht | Well, anyhoo, it'll be fine. Why don't you go play with your friends? Take your mind off things. |
| Zell | There's nobody but Squall and he doesn't say anything but '...' |
| Ms. Dincht | So he's kinda strange. Isn't he dating that Rinoa girl? She would've been great for you. What about Selphie? |
| Zell | ...I'll just leave. I'm going to talk to Edea for a bit...be back for supper. |
| Ms. Dincht | Alirght, don't be too late. |
| AT EDEA'S | |
| Zell | Hey Edea, waz up? |
| Edea | ...Hello Zell, what is on your mind? |
| Zell | I'm bored and my mom gave my room to the devil. |
| Edea | ...Right. Damien is but a small threat to the empire. If he gathers a rebellion, though, I will amass a large army of anti-Zedi knights to crush him. Zell, I leave you in charge of the Death Star. |
| Zell | Edea, you've GOT to lay off the magic stuff, it's warping your head. |
| Edea | No, Zell Vader, you must get Damien Skywalker. The force is strong with him. |
| Zell | Is Cid around? |
| Edea | Yes, the master will see you now. Don't underestimate his power. That's the will of the dark side. |
| Zell | Sure...whatever. |
| Cid | (walks in) Zell, I'll give you a choice. Take the blue pill and you will wake up and believe whatever you want to. Take the red pill and I'll show you how far the rabbit hole goes. |
| Zell | Huh? |
| Cid | Do you believe in fate? |
| Zell | Uh, no. I don't like to think that I'm not in control of my own destiny. |
| Cid | Then put on a black trench coat, sunglasses, and learn to bend and break the rules. The Retrix has you Zell. |
| Zell | Um...gimme the red pill. |
| Cid | Remember, I am but a messenger. The choice is yours. |
| Zell | (takes red pill) Nothing happened, Chief. |
| Cid | Go now. Seek the oracle. He goes by the name of General Caraway. |
| AT CARAWAY'S MANSION | |
| Zell | Hey Rinoa's dad, long time no see. |
| Caraway | You do know that you're a replicant? |
| Zell | A wha...? |
| Caraway | You have a four year life span. Wouldn't obstruct replication but does give rise to an error in replication so that the newly formed DNA strand carries the mutation and you've got a virus again. |
| Zell | I want more life fu... |
| Caraway | The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long. And you have burned so very, very brightly Zell. |
| Zell | You're...Tyrell? |
| Caraway | I am your creator. That's J.F. Sebastian right over there. |
| JF | Hi there. I'm a biological engineer. There's some of me in you. |
| Zell | Some sort of freakish toy. |
| Rinoa | (enters) Run Simba, run and never return! |
| Zell | Rinoa? |
| Rinoa | You killed Mufasa! |
| Zell | I did who?! |
| Guard | (enters) You must be wet-wired to the mainframe! There's a virus and all of the low-techs need you, Zell Mnemonic! |
| Zell | ...okay, hand over the crack. |
| Guard 2 | (enters) Let me just shove this metal probe up your a-a-s...eye. |
| Caraway | All of you, stop it! We need to give him a voigt kamph test first. |
| Zell | Well, son of a... |
| Caraway | (calibrates VK machine) Where do you live? |
| Zell | Balamb District, fourth sector |
| Caraway | You open up a magazine and see a full nude photo of a... |
| Zell | Is this testing whether I'm a replicant or a lesbian Mr. Ceckard? |
| Caraway | Just answer the question, please. |
| Rinoa | (interrupts) Hyenas! In the Pridelands! |
| Zell | Shouldn't you be be with Squall or something? |
| Rinoa | *No, he's into calculus and stuff. Kind of a hacker now* |
| Zell | Ha, that's kinda funny. |
| Rinoa | I'm a big shot rock star! Play with Milli Vanilli, call 'em lip-syncers for short, make 'em do my tech support. It's all about the Pentiums. What! What! |
| Selphie | (enters) |
| Caraway | Child-like empress! |
| Selphie | Zell, you must wish or there will be no more Fantasia |
| Zell | What the hey? |
| Angelo | (enters) Yo Quiero Taco Zell! |
| Rinoa | Angelo Rush! |
| Zell | I'm going to tell you something you may not like. I'm going to tell them about a world without you, a world where anything is possible. |
| Rajin | I AM the pumpkin king!...ya know. |
| Fujin | Welcome to the jungle, we've got fun and games. We've got everything you want... |
| Zell | Woah, man! You people are majorly screwed out of the mind, insane in the membrane. Completely out! |
| Selphie | Save us Zell! |
| Zell | How? |
| Caraway | Spank us! |
| Rinoa | Oh, yes Zell. Do spank us! |
| All | Spank us! |
| Squall | (runs in) I LIVE IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER!!!! |
| Zell | ... |
| Fujin | ...spank us... |
| Caraway | We are the knights who say "nee!" |
| All | Nee |
| Zell | Dig through the ditches and burn through the witches and slam into the back of my Dragula! |
| All | Doin' it baby |
| All | Doin' it baby |
