"That's right. I'll let you hear my new appointment speech. ...My old man tried to control the world with money. It seems to have been working. The population thought that Shinra would protect them. Work at Shinra, get your pay. If a terrorist attacks, the Shinra army will help you. It looks perfect on the outside. But, I do things differently. I'll control the world with fear. It takes too much to do it like my old man. A little fear will control the minds of the common people. There's no reason to waste money on them."

"With things looking like this, you better be ready for pay cuts..."

"What a crew."

"We'll destroy Sector 7 and report that AVALANCHE did it. Then we'll send in the rescue operation care of Shinra, Inc. ...Heh, heh, heh... This is perfect."

"...You are beginning to bore me. I'm a very busy man, so if you'll excuse me...I have a dinner I must attend to."

"And such a waste of good fireworks, just to get rid of vermin like you..."

"Citizens, unite! Come to the light, Mako energy. Power is truth. Shinra is the future. Real happiness can be found in obedience to the company."

"These days, all it takes for your dreams to come true is money and power."

"If you'll excuse me, I am a very busy man. However, I have arranged for a playmate for you all. His name is Airbuster. Our Weapons Development department created him. I am sure the data he will extract from your dead bodies will be quite useful."

"Forgive me for asking, but I can't be expected to remember each person's name. Unless you become another Sephiroth. Yes, Sephiroth... He was brilliant. Perhaps too brilliant..."

"...over... It's over... ...everything... Everyone...everything... It's all over... Now everything will begin with me!!"

"Don't...push...your luck..."

"Ha, ha, ha. Think, Cloud? ..."Cloud"? Ha, ha, ha. Oh, excuse me. You never had a name..."

"How does it feel? It's your first time in your hometown in a long time right? So how does it feel? I wouldn't know because I don't have a hometown."

"The knowledge and wisdom of the Ancients is held in the materia. Anyone with this knowledge can freely use the powers of the land and the Planet. That knowledge interacts between ourselves and the Planet, calling up magic."

"You are just a puppet... You have no heart... and cannot feel any pain... How can there be any meaning in the memory of such a being? What I have shown you is reality. What you remember, that is the illusion."

"What are you saying? Are you trying to tell me you have feelings too?"

"Melding with the Planet... I will cease to exist as I am now... Only to be reborn as a 'God' to rule over every soul."

"Only death awaits you all, but do not fear. For it is through death that a new spirit energy is born. Soon, you will live again as a part of me."

"...My sadness? What do I have to be sad about? I am the chosen one. I have been chosen to be the leader of this Planet. I have orders to take this planet back from you stupid people for the Cetra. What am I supposed to be sad about?"

"(Before Jenova) You should have ruled this planet. You were stronger, smarter. But then they came, those inferior dullards...They came and took this planet away from you. But don't be sad, Mother. I am with you now. (Rips away the casing to reveal Jenova) We meet at last...Mother."

"Out of my way. I'm going to see my mother."

"What I have shown you is reality. What you remember, that is the illusion."

"After a long sleep, time has come..."

"Cool! This should do it!"

"Nope! I don't get it!"

"Oh wow, I'm totally clueless!"

"The stars shine so bright, like glowing materia... reach up and grab one."

"You spikey-headed jerk! Lets go - One more time!"

"Cloud...sign this. It's a contract that says when the war is over, all the materia will belong to me."

"Cloud, put me in your party, so I can get off this ship."

"I know you're all dying' to talk to a babe like me!"

"You gotta do it then. You gotta live true to yourself."

"...boring story number one!"

"GROSSNESS! Don't mess with me old man! You don't even have any Materia!"

"Oh, GAWD! If I knew this was gonna happen, I would've taken rope escape lessons more seriously!!"

"Remember, if you piss me off... it'll cost you!!"

"I know you want my help because I'm so good!"

"I'm becoming less human... (after learning his Level 4 limit, Chaos)"

"She has a mysterious weapon. I've seen her somewhere before… (when recruiting Yuffie)"

"Wait! Don't go by yourself!"

"And this... this... is my punishment."

"Hojo...what a queer fellow."

"Cold? Hmmm... I guess that's just the way I am, sorry."
