President Shinra: "How are the preparations going?"
Heidegger: "Ha, ha, ha!!  Smoothly, very smoothly!  I assigned the Turks to
            this."
Reeve: "President!!  Are we really going to do this?  Simply destroy a group
        with only a few members..."
President Shinra: "What's the problem, Reeve?  You want out?"
Reeve: "...No."
       "But, as head of the Urban Development Department, I have been involved
        in the building and running of Midgar.  That's why..."
Heidegger: "Reeve, you should flush those personal problems in the morning!"
Reeve: "The Mayor's against this anyway..."
Heidegger: "Mayor?"
           "He just sits in this building all day feeding his face!  You still
            call that a Mayor?"
Heidegger: "Now if you'll excuse me sir!"
President Shinra: "You're tired.  Why don't you take a couple of days off and
                   go somewhere."
President Shinra: "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."

"So I decided to take her home with me."
**** EALIN_12 ***
"Aeris and I became close very quickly.  That child loved to talk.  She used to
 talk to me about everything."
"She told me she escaped from some kind of research laboratory somewhere.  And
 that her mother had already returned to the planet, so she wasn't lonely...
 and many other things."
Barret: "Returned to the planet?"
Elmyra: "I didn't know what she meant.  I asked if she meant a star in the
         sky,"
        "But she said it was this planet... She was a mysterious child in many
         ways."
Aeris: "Mom."
