Line 4:
* Oh god, Ishval. What made it worse is that I love Roy and Riza, but seeing what the did in the war/massacre had me feeling like they were [[A Nazi by Any Other Name|Nazis or something.]] And Scar's entire backstory is a huge sob-fest. And the shot of the crying Ishvalan child in the middle of the massacre . . . excuse me, I need a Kleenex now . . .
* It wasn't the Hughes' funeral itself which was so profoundly impacting. What really brings everyone to tears is poor little Elysia:
{{quote|'''Elysia''': [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}-nQuX6Xau54 Mommy, how come? Why are they burying Daddy? Who are those people? Why are they burying him, why? They can't! I don't like it! Daddy said he had lots of work to do and if they bury him, he can't do it when he wakes up! Stop them, mommy! Daddy has to do his work, he told me! Why are they burying Daddy, Mommy? Why?] ''[[Wake Up Mommy|...Daddy, wake up!]]'''}}
** This scene is arguably even more tragic in ''Brotherhood'', as you can hear the sheer despair ''[http://video.adultswim.com/fullmetal-alchemist-brotherhood/funeral-for-hughes.html much]'' more clearly.
{{quote|'''Elysia''': Daddy said he has important work he needs to do! No, stop it! Stop putting dirt on him! ''DADDY!!!''}}
Line 12:
{{quote|'''Mustang:''' ...It's a terrible day for rain.
'''Hawkeye:''' What do you mean? It's not raini--
'''Mustang:''' [[Sand in My Eyes|Yes. It is.]]<br />
'''Hawkeye:''' ...Oh. So it is. }}
** As pointed out on the main page, the above doubles as a brilliant metaphor; Roy is powerless in the rain, and that is how he felt at that moment.
