FF7 Script: First Meeting With Vincent

Part 1: Opening the Coffin

Vincent: "To wake me from the nightmare..."
"Who is it!?"
"...I don't know you.
You must leave."

Cloud: "You were having a nightmare."

Aeris: "You'll dream about bad things if you sleep
in a place like THIS."

Vincent: "Hmph…a nightmare?
My long sleep has given me time to
atone."

Cloud: "What are you saying?"

Vincent: "I have nothing to say to strangers.
Get out."
"This mansion is the beginning of your
nightmare."

Cloud: "You can say that again."

Vincent: "Do you know something?"

[Don't say a thing]
[Talk about Sephiroth]

Cloud: "Like you said,
this mansion is the beginning of a
nightmare."
"No, it's not a dream, it's for real."
"Sephiroth has lost his mind.
He found the secrets hidden in this
mansion..."

Vincent: "Sephiroth!?"

Both: "You know Sephiroth?"

Vincent: "You start first."

(Cloud retells the story.)

Cloud: "...That's how it was."
"So Sephiroth knows he was created
five years ago.
And about the Jenova project."
"...He was missing, but has just recently
appeared."
"He is taking many lives and seeking the
Promised Land."

Cloud: "Now it's your turn."

Vincent: "Sorry...I cannot speak."

Aeris: "That's dirty!"

Vincent: "Hearing your stories, is yet another sin
for me."
"More nightmares shall come to me now,
than I previously had."

Vincent: "Now...Please leave."

(Vincent closes his coffin. Cloud reopens it.)

Vincent: "...You're still here."

[Good night]
[Who are you?]

Cloud: "At least tell us your
name."

Vincent: "I was with...Shinra Manufacturing in
Administrative Research, also known as --
the Turks."

Vincent: "Vincent."

Cloud: "The Turks!?"

Vincent: "Formerly of the Turks."
"I have no affiliation with Shinra now."
"...And you?"

Cloud: "Cloud, formerly of SOLDIER."

Vincent: "You were also with Shinra...?
Then do you know Lucrecia?"

Cloud: "Who?"

Vincent: "...Lucrecia."

(Cloud shakes his head.)

Vincent: "The woman who gave birth to Sephiroth."

Cloud: "...gave birth...?"
"Wasn't Jenova Sephiroth's mother?"

Vincent: "That isn't completely wrong, but just a
theory."
"He was born from a beautiful lady."
"That lady was Lucrecia."
"She was an assistant to Professor Gast of
the Jenova Project.
Beautiful...Lucrecia."

Cloud: "...A human experiment?"

Vincent: "There was no way to cancel the
experiment."

Vincent: "I couldn't stop her."
"That was my sin."
"I let the one I loved, the one I respected
most, face the worst."

Aeris: "So your punishment was to sleep?
That's...strange."

(Vincent closes his coffin again. Cloud attempts to reopen it.)

Vincent: "Let me sleep..."

Part 2: On the Way Out of the Basement

Vincent: "Wait!"
"If I go with you, will I meet Hojo?"

Cloud: "Dunno.
But we're after him and Sephiroth.
So, I guess sooner or later..."

Vincent: "Lucrecia…"
"All right.
I've decided to go with you."

Aeris: "That sure was a quick change of heart."

Vincent: "Being a former Turk, I may be of help..."

Cloud: "All right, then."

(Vincent joins the party.)
