How we cite our quotes: (Part.Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #4
A while passes until he knows I have very little else to say. He then speaks very calmly and clearly. He says, "Don't worry, Ed. What you need to do will certainly arrive in you. I've got a feeling it has in the past." (2.7.76)
Somehow this always ends up being the way Ed figures out what to do—it just comes to him, just like that. The fact that the Priest knows this tells us that Ed knows what's right and wrong with these messages long before he even admits it to himself.
Quote #5
He moves a little further away as we stand in the dark. Behind us, the lights still glow proudly in the night. This is the moment of truth. Lua says, "You never lived in our house, Ed. Did you?"
We observe each other, and I can see there are many things that Lua wants to know. He's about to ask when I see him pull back. He prefers not to ruin things with any more questions. (2.7.40-41)
In talking with Lua, Ed figures out that he's in the same position as this guy in some ways, not completely understanding what's happening, but not sure if he even wants to either.
Quote #6
We'd look back and he'd be sitting there, happily smoking, maybe dreaming. My first memory is of being four years old and getting a piggyback from Gregor Kennedy, my father. That was when the world wasn't so big and I could see everywhere. It was when my father was a hero and not a human. (3.9.29)
Ed's memories of his old man are conflicting. On the one hand, he's a loving guy who was a gentleman, but on the other hand, he's a drunk whose liver gave out. So which version is true?
