"Lightning: The Purge is PSICOM's baby. Our military is split into two arms: the Public Security and Intelligence Command, known as PSICOM, and the Guardian Corps. I was Guardian Corps, Bodhum security regiment."

"(After the fight, Sazh attempts to start up the ship while talking to Lightning.)"

"Sazh: So, Soldier...What's your angle? What, is it classified military info? What's the matter? You quit, didn't you? You think I'm gonna go out there and just tell everybody your secret?"

"Lightning: Pulse fal'Cie. My 'angle'. I'm after the fal'Cie."

"PSICOM Marauder: (charging) Time's up!"

"PSICOM Marauder: Deportees, are we? Weapons down. I'd hate for this to get ugly."

"Sazh: Yeah, well, hell isn't sounding too bad. Cause this place isn't exactly paradise."

"Sazh: Huh?...Turn ugly?"

"(With Sazh speechless, Lightning succeeds in starting up the airship.)"

"Lightning: He wants to kill us without a fight."

"Sazh: Not wanting to be Purged, I get. But taking on trained soldiers?"

"Lightning: Still happy you tagged along?"

"Lightning: Better to die than get sent to Pulse. It's hell without the brimstone."

"Lightning: I was a soldier."

"Sazh: Oh goodness. We did it."

"Sazh: Aren't you supposed to protect civilians, Soldier? I mean, you are Sanctum, aren't ya? What are you doing stopping the Purge? Why don't you tell me that?"

"Sazh: Didn't have a choice..."

"Sazh: Man...Chocobo, we just can't get a break, can we?"

"Lightning: You want quiet, you better take the next train."

"Sazh: Really? You don't look ready to go quietly into that good night."

"Sazh: Now I really want to see what you're up to."

"Commander: Line up!"

"Sazh: Excuse me. Hey, lady. What gives?"

"Galenth's Voice: On behalf of Cocoon citizens...I would like to thank our brave Pulse pioneers...and express our best wishes for a successful relocation. Your noble and selfless sacrifice ensures the continued safety and peace of our society. Were it not for this remarkable gesture, every resident of Cocoon, your family, your friends, your neighbors, would be exposed to the dangers of the world below. By choosing to leave, you participate in this migration—"

"Lightning: I volunteered."

"Lightning: Then I quit."

"Vanille [narrating, first lines of the game]: The thirteen days after we awoke were the beginning of the end."

"Reporter: We interrupt this program to bring an urgent Sanctum bulletin...Late last night, officials confirmed the presence...of a fal'Cie inside the city of Bodhum. Acting with fal'Cie Eden's approval, authorities declared a state of emergency. The entire district will be quarantined in response to this crisis. This is a Sanctum bulletin—"

"Commander: What's a GC doing here? This op's under PSICOM direction."

"Lightning: How practical."

"Snow: But you're leaving Serah alone! (in the English version: You're shutting her out. She's your sister!)"

"Snow: Fine...I'll do it. I'll protect her."

"Lightning: Who are you calling "sister"?! Is this some kind of a joke?! (in the English version: No, you stop it! Get out of my house.)"

"Lightning: So direct me, let me. I want to be Purged."

"Snow: Why won't you believe her?"

"Lightning: You're kidding me? She gets made l'Cie, and you pop the question?"

"Snow: Wait! Serah!"
