Some of my most favoured quotes from Cloud and Aerith, and a few others, that I can remember by heart.
"A floating city...pretty unsettling scenary."
- Cloud
"Excuse me, what happened?"
"Nothing... hey, listen..."
"Don't see many flowers around here."
"Oh, these? Do you like them?"
"They're only a gil...?"
"Oh, thank you!"
"Here you are."
- Aerith and Cloud
"I'm Aerith, the flower girl. Nice to meet you."
- Aerith to Cloud
"The name's Cloud."
"Me......? I do a little bit of everything."
- Cloud to Aerith
"Funny... I thought you were cut out to be in SOLDIER."
"Oh! You're terrible!"
- Cloud to Aerith
"Cloud... Good night."
- Aerith to Cloud
"Oh! You look so cute, Miss Cloud!"
- Aerith to Cloud
"Don't give up, never give up hope. It's not easy to destroy the pillar, right?"
- Aerith to Tifa
"Guess what? Guess what? Aerith was asking me lots of questions like what kind of person Cloud is. I bet she likes you Cloud!"
- Marlene to Cloud
"Heh heh...so there are times where even you fight for other people. I am impressed."
- Barret to Cloud
"Cloud...so you did come for me."
- Aerith
"I knew that Cloud would come for me."
- Aerith
"Someday I'll get out of Midgar... speak with the Planet and find my Promised Land."
"...That's what Mom said. I thought I would stop hearing her voice as I grew up, but..."
- Aerith
"Hey, Cloud. Did you see the Airship at Junon?"
"...I heard it was big, but I didn't expect it to be THAT big."
"That was REALLY something. Hey, do you think I could get on it?"
"I'll take you someday. ...keep hoping."
"Wow! I'm really looking forward to it! Let's ride the Airship together, OK? Promise, promise me!"
- Aerith and Cloud
"Ahhh......You look like a bear wearing a marshmallow."
- Cloud to Barret
"I learned a lot. The elders taught me many things."
"About the Cetra... And the Promised Land..."
"I'm...... alone... I'm all alone now..."
"But I'm...... we're here for you, right?"
"I know, but... I am the only...... Cetra."
"Does that mean we can't help?"
- Aerith to Cloud
"Cloud...I'm searching for you...I want to meet you."
"But I'm right here."
"I know, I know... what I mean is.."
"I want to meet... you."
- Aerith to Cloud
"Just hang in there. Someday we'll look back at these hard times and laugh."
- Aerith
"Looks good. You are perfect for eachother! Aerith's star and Cloud's star...they show a great future!"
- Cait Sith to Cloud and Aerith
"Cloud...be strong, OK?"
- Aerith
"Cloud...you haven't done anything. It's not your fault."
- Aerith
"Cloud...and you take care of yourself. So you don't have a breakdown, okay?"
- Aerith
"Then I'll be going now."
"I'll come back...when it's all over."
- Aerith
"Aerith is gone...Aerith will no longer talk, no longer laugh, cry...or get angry..."
- Cloud to Sephiroth
"He destroyed my hometown five years ago, killed Aerith, and is now trying to destroy the Planet.
I'll never forgive... Sephiroth.
I... I must go on."
- Cloud
"I remember Aerith a lot. No...not that. You haven't remembered. You haven't forgotten. That's not it... How would you say it... Aerith was right there all along. Right by our side. She was so close, we couldn't see her. What Aerith did...the words she left behind..."
- Cloud
"Aerith...? I wanted to give her a ride in the Highwind......"
- Cid
"I'm sure she wanted to give her life to the Planet."
- Cloud to Tifa
"Aerith had the White Materia... But when Aerith died, it fell from the altar..."
- Cloud
"...Aerith. Aerith has already prayed for Holy.
...After I gave up the Black Materia to Sephiroth......
Aerith's words came into my dreams...
She said, she was the only one who could stop Sephiroth......
And to do that, there was a secret here...
That was Holy......
That's why, she had the White Materia.
Aerith knew about here... and what she had to do.
Aerith has left us great hope. But, it cost her her life... her future...
I'm sorry... Aerith. I should have figured this out sooner.
...You left us without saying a word...... It was all so sudden, so I couldn't think...
That's why it took so long for me to find out...
But Aerith... I understand now.
Aerith... I'll do the rest.
Thank you... Aerith."
- Cloud
"She was smiling to the end."
"And that smile will just freeze like that if we don't do something."
- Cloud
"Aerith's memories...our memories...we came to tell you our memories."
- Cloud to Sephiroth
"I think I'm beginning to understand..."
"What?"
"..an answer from the Planet... the Promised Land... I think I can meet her... there."
"Yeah.. let's go meet her."
- Cloud to Tifa
"When is my knight in shining armor going to take me away from here?"
- Aerith
"Get your hand off her!!"
- Cloud to the thieves
"I..lost a very important thing...I must go to the Promised Land."
- Cloud to Ramza
"Excuse me...did the King send you?"
- Aerith
"Thank you, Sora. You're the only one who can defeat the Heartless."
- Aerith
"I'm looking for someone. Hades promised to help. I tried to exploit the power of darkness, but it backfired. I fell into darkness, and I couldn't find the light."
"You'll find it. I'm searching, too."
"For your light?"
"Don't lose sight of it."
"How about a rematch sometime? Fare and square, no dark powers involved!"
"I think I'll pass."
- Cloud to Sora
Aerith: "Hmmm...?"
Cloud: "I don't want you involved."
Aerith: "You mean you don't want me there when you go away again?"
Cloud: "I just - Listen, even if I go far away, I'll come back."
Aerith: "Do you mean it?"
Cloud: "Yeah."
Aerith: "See? You don't look so sure. Well, okay, I understand. Go - get things settled."
Cloud: "Huh?"
Aerith: "No matter how far away you are... once you find your light... I'm sure it will lead you back here again. Right?"
Cloud: "I suppose."
Aerith: "So I'll stay here - and I'll cheer for you - Okay, Cloud?"
Cloud: "Okay."
"Until that time comes, I'll wander around here for a while. I'll spend my time in the Planet... in our Promised Land."
- Aerith
