Gold Saucer - Interrupted by Fireworks
Cloud and the others pass through North Corel on their way to Gold Saucer.
Man A buncha guys called Turks came here sayin' they'd pay 10000 gil for some rock called a 'Keystone'. When I asked how much they'd pay for a regular rock just layin' around here, they slapped me upside my damn head!!
Man 2 I'll never understand the rich. I heard some guy named Dio at the Gold Saucer is collectin' rocks!
They take the Ropeway up to Gold Saucer.
Chocobo Mascot Welcome to the Gold Saucer.
Admissions Lady Please enjoy yourselves.
Arriving at Battle Square, they discover it's open this time around.
Man I heard that this is the curator's favorite attraction. He likes it so much that he even has his collection displayed in the arena.
Woman Are you here for the battle, too?
Cloud - That's the idea - Not interested
Cloud continues on up the steps.
Black-haired Man Crap! I still don't have enough points. Mmm? You're new here, aren't you? Then, you want an explanation of the Battle Arena?
Cloud - Yeah - Not interested
Black-haired Man You fight here and collect battle points. You can then exchange those points for prizes. The Battle Game... even though it's a game you still use all your physical abilities. To participate, go to the front and pay yer GP's. You can fight in up to eight battles. The more you win, the more battle points you get. But, if you lose, you lose all your points. So it's up to you whether or not to fight after each win. They also make it harder by givin' out handicaps. They decide what handicaps there'll be, and you won't know what you're up against until the battle. Oh yeah, once you leave the Battle area, all your battle points will become useless. So watch it. Oh, and one other thing. THe maximum points you could get is 65000, no more. So if you get that many you should exchange them for something.
Large Man Maybe I could've made it a little further. It's so hard to know when to stop...
Man Kicking All right, it should be my turn comin' up here soon.
Registration Lady Hey, have you heard? Something awful happened! Two staff members and some Shinra soldiers were shot. The soldiers died instantly, but the staff survived. Register for battle? The registration fee is 10 GP.
Cloud - Let's do it - Not interested
Staff Lady Whenever you come to the Gold Saucer, I recommend you visit the owner's museum at least once.
Cloud enters Dio's Show Room, finding the Keystone on display among his other pieces.
Cloud It's the Keystone...
Dio enters from behind him.
Dio Heh, heh, heh. Long time no see, my boy. Hmm? You like that, huh?
Cloud Can you let me borrow this?
Dio Heh, heh, heh. Sorry, but it's not for rent. Hmm. Since you've been good to me in the past, I CAN let you have it on one condition.
Cloud One condition?
Dio Heh, heh, heh. Entertain me!
Cloud - What'd you want me to do? - Not in the mood
- What'd you want me to do?
Dio Hoo boy! Heh, heh, heh. It's not something that's really difficult. This is the Battle Arena. Show me your fighting skills. Just you, my boy. I'm expecting a good fight!
- Not in the mood
Dio I see... Then let's pretend that this never happened.
When Cloud takes him up on the deal, he enters the Battle Arena.
If he does well...
Dio Hmm, you did pretty well, young man!|| Good, it's a promise, so go ahead and take it. I'll give this to you too.
If he does poorly...
Dio That's the best you could do? Well, a promise is a promise. Go ahead, take it.
| Received Key Item "Keystone"! |
Dio Well then, we shall meet again! Heh, heh, heh.
When trying to leave Gold Saucer with the keystone, Cloud is intercepted by a staff member.
Staff Excuse me, sir. I'm sorry. The Tram is out of order right now.
Cloud ...so?
Staff I'm really sorry! I'm afraid you won't be able to leave until it's fully repaired.
Cait Sith comes up to join Cloud.
Cait Sith What's wrong?
Cloud explains.
Cait Sith Too bad. It happens, though. I know! Let's stay at the hotel! They know me here. I'll go talk to them.
Staff I will let you know once the repairs are completed.
At the hotel, the nine of them gather in the lobby.
Cait Sith We don't usually get the chance to be together like this, huh? Cloud, how 'bout it? Can you tell us what's happened so far? I don't really know what's goin' on because I wasn't here in the beginning.
Cid Yeah! I'm all for it!
Vincent Good idea.
Barret I been here since the beginnin', an' I still don't know what the hell's goin' on either. Cloud, the hell's goin' on? C'mon, tell us!
Cloud - I'm tired... - All right, I'll give it a shot...
Cloud Phew... We are going after Sephiroth. Sephiroth must be in search of the Promised Land. The Promised Land? A land full of Mako energy. ...or at least that's what the Shinra believe. I don't know if it actually exists.
Aeris The Cetras return to the Promised Land. A land that promises boundless happiness.
Barret Cetra? That some kinda disease?
Aeris That's what the Ancients call themselves. Hey, didn't you listen to the elders at Cosmo Canyon?
Barret scratches his head.
Aeris ...You don't 'know' where the Promised Land of the Ancients is. You search and travel, until you feel it. Like you just know, '...this is the Promised Land.'
Cloud Aeris... can you feel it too?
Aeris I think so.
Tifa So Sephiroth is traveling the world because he's searching for the Promised Land? Is that it?
Aeris That, and one other thing he's searching for.
Cloud The Black Materia...
Cait Sith I heard from Dio that a man in a Black Cape was lookin' for the Black Materia.
Tifa I don't even know what the Black Cape is... How many men with Black Capes and number tattoos are there?
Nanaki ...you know, of course... My tattoo is number 13.
Cloud How did you get that tattoo?
Nanaki ...Hojo put it on me. Everything else is just war scars, but the number was done by Hojo.
Tifa So there are at least 13!?
Aeris ...You know...... I think Hojo did something to those men in the Black Capes. But I don't know what it has to do with Sephiroth though... That's why I think we should just go after Sephiroth himself.
Barret Yeah, me too! It's all just too damn confusin'.
Aeris And... I'm sorry, forget it! I think I'm tired. I'm going to bed now.
She runs upstairs.
Cait Sith What was that, all of a sudden!?
Yuffie What!? That's it? I'm goin' to bed!
She runs off after Aeris.
Cait Sith Is that all? How 'bout the Black Materia?
Cloud You wouldn't understand even if I told you.
Barret Now all we gotta do is take action! We're startin' tomorrow!!
He runs upstairs.
Nanaki Cloud... I'm number 13. Am I going to go mad too?
Tifa I don't know what Hojo did to you, but you've been all right so far, right?
Nanaki But...
Tifa Be strong.
Nanaki But, I...
Tifa Stop it, Nanaki! Be strong!
Cloud Tifa?
Tifa You're not the only one who's worried!
Cait Sith I don't know what's goin' on, but we're in a bad situation...
Vincent Hey Cid, let's go back to our rooms.
Cid ...zzzz... zzzz...
Cloud retires to his room. There comes a knock on the door.
[Aeris enters.] [Tifa enters.] [Yuffie enters.]
Aeris Hee, hee!
Cloud What's wrong?
Aeris You want to go on a date?
Cloud What?
Aeris A DA-TE! Or haven't you ever gone on one?
Cloud - Don't take me for a fool - Well, not a real one...
- Don't take me for a fool
Aeris Hey...a little touchy, aren't we?
- Well, not a real one...
Aeris No, just a mixed-up kid...
Aeris Oh well, come on let's go...
She runs around behind him and starts pushing him out of the room.
Cloud Hey!
Upon arriving together at the Station...
Man Tonight's Enchantment Night! All the attractions are free. How 'bout it you two? There's going to be an entertaining show in Event Square!
Aeris Come on, let's go.
The two of them head for Event Square, where they are greeted immediately.

Man Oh, now, it's not hard. Just play it however you want to and the rest of the cast will cover up for you. Come this way.

She runs off after the man. Cloud shrugs and follows. The show opens to an empty stage and the narration begins.

[Back to the Station.]
After the play is over, Cloud and Aeris return to the Station.
Aeris Oh, that was fun. Hey, let's go on the Gondola.
At Round Square, Aeris walks up to the ticket lady.
Aeris Two, please.
Ticket Lady Here you are, two tickets. Enjoy the sights of Gold Saucer.
Cloud and Aeris get on the gondola.
Aeris Wow, how nice. Oh! Look, Cloud. It's so pretty.
At length, she turns away from the window.
......it's beautiful, isn't it? ......first off, it bothered me how you looked exactly alike. Two completely different people, but look exactly the same. The way you walk, gesture... I think I must have seen him again, in you... But you're different. Things are different. Cloud... I'm searching for you.
Cloud ............?
Aeris I want to meet you.
Cloud But I'm right here.
Aeris (I know, I know...what I mean is...) I want to meet...you.
The gondola returns to Round Square, and they get off.
Aeris I had fun tonight. Let's go together again. You don't like being with me?
Cloud - Yeah - That's not it
- Yeah
Aeris Oh, don't tease like that! Oh, look at the time. We'd better get going.
- That's not it
Aeris I'm glad. Next time let's take our time and go on more rides.
When Cloud and Aeris reach the Station, they see Cait Sith there, looking furtive.
Aeris Hey? What's Cait Sith doing?
Cait Sith pulls out the Keystone.
Cloud !! Is that the... Keystone? Hey! Cait Sith!
Cait jumps and runs. Cloud and Aeris chase after him. Eventually they wind up at Chocobo Square, where Tseng arrives in a helicopter.
Cait Sith Hey! Over here! The Keystone!
He throws Tseng the Keystone.
Tseng Well done.
The helicopter flies off as Cloud and Aeris catch up to Cait.
Cloud Hey!
Cait Sith W, wait a second. I won't run or hide. Yes, I was a spy. I was hired by the Shinra.
Aeris ...I trusted you. I can't believe you!
Cait Sith I couldn't help it. How 'bout if we continue like nothing ever happened?
Cloud No way, cat! You gotta lot of guts acting like a friend but being a spy!
Cait Sith Then, what are you goin' to do? Kill me? You'd just be wastin' your time if you tried. This body's just a toy anyway. My real body's at Shinra Headquarters in Midgar. I'm controlin' this toy cat from there.
Aeris So you're from Shinra. Who? Who are you! Tell me!
Cait Sith Whoa, I can't tell you my name.
Cloud We're not gettin' anywhere.
Cait Sith See? I told you! Talking won't do any good, so can't we just continue our journey?
Cloud You think I'm jokin'!?
Cait Sith ...Alright, yes, I am a Shinra employee. But we're not entirely enemies. ...Something bothers me. I think it's your way of life. You don't get paid. You don't get praised. Yet, you still risk your lives and continue on your journey. Seeing that makes me... It just makes me think about my life. I don't think I'd feel too good if things ended the way they are now.
Aeris ......And so on, and so on...
Cloud He'll never tell the truth. Once a spy, always a spy. We can't go on with someone like that. C'mon get real!!
Cait Sith ...just as I thought. Talking won't make a bit of difference. But I prepared something in case this happened. Why don't you listen to this?
Aeris Hey! That's Marlene!
Marlene Hey! It's the flower lady! Flower lady... |
Cait Sith ...So, you have to do as I say.
Cloud ...you're the lowest...
Cait Sith I didn't want to do this... using dirty tricks and taking hostages... But this is how it is... no compromises. So why don't we continue on as we did? Tomorrow is the Temple of the Ancients, right? I know where it is so I'll tell you later. Of course, we'll get there after the Shinra, but you'll have to deal with that.
Cloud ...Well, we're stuck... We'll have to do what he says.
Aeris I wonder if Marlene is all right... I wonder what happened to Mom.
[Skip ahead to the next day.]
Tifa Cloud...
Cloud What's wrong?
Tifa ...... I thought about what I was going to say, but, it's kinda embarrassing... Hey, Cloud! Why don't the two of us sneak out of here and spend some time together?
She runs around behind him and starts pushing him out of the room.
Come on, let's go!
Cloud Hey.

- The King
King Come on! No more!
Tifa Cloud!! Be serious!! You really don't want to be in the play that much!? Now I'm mad! She slaps Cloud and he falls over.
EDK Gaaaaaahh! You dare ignore me!!
Tifa Shut up!! She knocks the EDK out with a kick.

Narrator Oh my...... what an unusually strong Princess! And so the new legendary hero Rosa and our story ends happily ever after.
[Back to the Station.]
After the play is over, Cloud and Tifa return to the Station.
Tifa Hmm, that was funny. Hey, let's go on the Gondola next.
At Round Square, Tifa walks up to the ticket lady.
Tifa Two, please.
Ticket Lady Here you are, two tickets. Enjoy the sights of Gold Saucer.
Cloud and Tifa get on the gondola.
Tifa Oh, how pretty. Look, Cloud. Oh, Cloud.
At length, she turns away from the window.
...it's really pretty, isn't it? Ok, I'm going to just go ahead and say it...
Cloud ...what?
Tifa Aeris would be able to just come out and say it, probably. Cloud...? Sometimes being old friends is hard. I mean, timing is everything.
Cloud Yeah...
Tifa Cloud...? I...... ........................
The gondola returns to Round Square, and they get off.
Tifa Cloud I really had fun tonight.
Cloud By the way, What did you want to say a minute ago...?
Tifa N, nothing! Nothing...
Cloud ?
Tifa Oh, look at the time. We should be getting back.
When Cloud and Tifa reach the Station, they see Cait Sith there, looking furtive.
Tifa That's...... Cait Sith. He seems strange.
Cait Sith pulls out the Keystone.
Cloud !! Is that the... Keystone? Hey! Cait Sith!
Cait jumps and runs. Cloud and Tifa chase after him. Eventually they wind up at Chocobo Square, where Tseng arrives in a helicopter.
Cait Sith Hey! Over here! The Keystone!
He throws Tseng the Keystone.
Tseng Well done.
The helicopter flies off as Cloud and Tifa catch up to Cait.
Cloud Hey!
Cait Sith W, wait a second. I won't run or hide. Yes, I was a spy. I was hired by the Shinra.
Tifa Don't mess with us!
Cait Sith I couldn't help it. How 'bout if we continue like nothing ever happened?
Cloud No way, cat! You gotta lot of guts acting like a friend but being a spy!
Cait Sith Then, what are you goin' to do? Kill me? You'd just be wastin' your time if you tried. This body's just a toy anyway. My real body's at Shinra Headquarters in Midgar. I'm controlin' this toy cat from there.
Tifa So you're from Shinra. Who are you?
Cait Sith Whoa, I can't tell you my name.
Cloud We're not gettin' anywhere.
Cait Sith See? I told you! Talking won't do any good, so can't we just continue our journey?
Cloud You think I'm jokin'!?
Cait Sith ...Alright, yes, I am a Shinra employee. But we're not entirely enemies. ...Something bothers me. I think it's your way of life. You don't get paid. You don't get praised. Yet, you still risk your lives and continue on your journey. Seeing that makes me... It just makes me think about my life. I don't think I'd feel too good if things ended the way they are now.
Tifa You're lying again.
Cloud He'll never tell the truth. Once a spy, always a spy. We can't go on with someone like that. C'mon get real!!
Cait Sith ...just as I thought. Talking won't make a bit of difference. But I prepared something in case this happened. Why don't you listen to this?
Tifa Marlene!
Marlene Hey! It's Tifa! Tifa! Help, I'm- |
Cait Sith ...So, you have to do as I say.
Cloud ...you're the lowest...
Cait Sith I didn't want to do this... using dirty tricks and taking hostages... But this is how it is... no compromises. So why don't we continue on as we did? Tomorrow is the Temple of the Ancients, right? I know where it is so I'll tell you later. Of course, we'll get there after the Shinra, but you'll have to deal with that.
Cloud ...Well, we're stuck... We'll have to do what he says.
Tifa ......Marlene.
[Skip ahead to the next day.]
Yuffie Cloud you up?
Cloud What's wrong?
Yuffie Would you...... keep me company for a bit.
Cloud ? Keep you company where?
Yuffie runs around and starts pushing him out of the room.
Yuffie Just come on.
Cloud Hey.
Upon arriving together at the Station...
Man Tonight's Enchantment Night! All the attractions are free. How 'bout it you two? There's going to be an entertaining show in Event Square!

Cloud Wha?
Man Oh, now, it's not hard. Just play it however you want to and the rest of the cast will cover up for you. Come this way.
Cloud H, hey!
Yuffie I don't know what it's all about but sounds kind of cool. Wanna try it, Cloud?
She runs off after the man. Cloud shrugs and follows. The show opens to an empty stage and the narration begins.

At Round Square, Yuffie walks up to the ticket lady.
Yuffie There will be two of us.
Ticket Lady Here you are, two tickets. Enjoy the sights of Gold Saucer.
Cloud and Yuffie get on the gondola.
Yuffie (sitting backwards to lean out the window) Wow! Geez!! Cloud!
She turns around.
Cloud......?
She gets up and kisses him on the cheek.
Cloud ............
Yuffie (scratching her head) I just felt like doing that.

Yuffie H, hey!! Say something, why don't you!!
Cloud ............
Yuffie ......gawd, I could just die.
Cloud ............
Yuffie Say something, PLEASE!
Cloud ...................something.
Yuffie slaps him.
The gondola returns to Round Square, and they get off.
Yuffie I'll think I'll sleep really well tonight. Thanks... for coming with me.
Cloud nods.
Yuffie You wanna go back, Cloud?
When Cloud and Yuffie reach the Station, they see Cait Sith there, looking furtive.

Yuffie Uh, yup.
Cloud and the others spend the night at Gold Saucer. In the morning, they again gather in the lobby. Cloud is the last to arrive.
Cait Sith What took you so long, Cloud? Oh yeah, about the Temple of the Ancients. I think if we take the Tiny Bronco East towards the sea, we should be able to find it. Well then, shall we get goin'? Who's gonna go?
Aeris I want to go! I'm going for sure!
Barret Yo! I'm goin' too, Cloud! Gotta keep movin'!!
Tifa You know...... no, forget it. Let's go.
Nanaki I'm so excited, my tail's starting to tingle. Let's go, Cloud!
Yuffie I'm startin' to get nervous.
Cait Sith The Temple of the Ancients is to the east. Shall we go?
Vincent The Temple of the Ancients... This might be pretty interesting...
Cid I don't care what's goin' on let's just go!
Cloud and his chosen party head for the door.
Cait Sith Then see you later.
Cloud and the others leave Gold Saucer to search out the Temple of the Ancients.
