「 Balamb Garden 」
Squall (to Quistis): I'm more complex than you think.
「 Fire Cavern 」
Quistis: You know, the boys often choke on this test when I come with them. I guess my charm makes them nervous.
Squall: (...Whatever.)
Quistis: I'm just kidding! Trying to keep you relaxed, that's all.
「 Dollet 」
Seifer: I love battles. I fear nothing. The way I look at it, as long as you make it out of a battle alive, you're one step closer to fulfilling your dream.
Squall: What!? Your dream?
Seifer: You have one too, don't you?
Squall: ...Sorry, but I'm gonna pass on that subject.
「 Dollet Communication Tower 」
Selphie: What took you so long? It would've been much quicker if you'd just jumped.
Zell: ...Much quicker? Pu-lease... You wouldn't normally jump off a cliff, OK!? Ain't that right, Squall?
Squall: ...I don't know about that. Perhaps anyone but the Chicken-wuss can make it.
Zell: WHAT DID YOU SAYYYYY!!!?
Selphie: ...Hm? Since you're angry, I guess you're the Chicken-wuss.
Zell: What the...!!! WHY IS EVERYONE...? I am not a CHICKEN!!!
Selphie: Well... If you don't like CHICKEN, how 'bout...a PIG! Oh, but you look more like a CHICKEN, anyway.
Zell: Chicken, pig, whatever... Call me whatever you want!!! I don't care anymore!!!
Squall: Don't take it so personally, Zell.
「 Train to Timber 」
Selphie: What a relief! Everything's cool with me! Hee! I had such a nice dream!
Squall: (I had a dream, too. It wasn't nice though...) (I dreamt I was a moron...)
「 Woman's House [Timber] 」
Squall (to Rinoa): (Think what you want.) (...Reality isn't so kind. Everything doesn't work out the way you want it to. That's why...) As long as you don't get your hopes up, you can take anything... You feel less pain.
「 Train to East Academy 」
Squall: (I don't believe in relying on others.)
「 Galbadia Garden 」
Squall (Regarding Seifer's "execution"): (I liked him... wasn't really a bad guy... He was one of us...) (Seifer... You've just become just a memory.) (Will they... Will they talk about me this way if I die, too?) (Squall was this and that. Using past tense, saying whatever they want?) (So this is what death is all about...) (...Not for me.) (I won't have it!!!)
Quistis: What's wrong, Squall?
Squall: I won't have it!
「 Deling City 」
Squall: (Right and wrong are not what separate us and our enemies. It's our different standpoints, our perspectives that separate us.) (Both sides blame one another. There's no good or bad side. Just 2 sides holding different views.)
(After Squall and Irvine save Rinoa)
Rinoa: I was scared... ...Really scared.
Squall: It's over now.
Rinoa: I was scared... I was really, really scared.
Squall: You're used to battles, aren't you?
Rinoa: I couldn't...I just couldn't. I couldn't fight alone...
Squall: (...You're not ready for all of this.) Better get going. I haven't forgot your order. Just stay close to me.
(Before fighting Edea)
Squall: So, you've become the sorceress' lap dog?
Seifer: I preferred to be called her knight. This has always been my dream.
...
Seifer: I...lost...!?
Squall: You're losing it, Seifer.
「 Desert Prison 」
Seifer: You're on my 'tough-nut-to-crack' list. Didn't think you'd talk that easily.
Squall: ...Geez, I'm honored.
(During interrogation after Seifer leaves)
Warden: What's that?
Squall: Your...
Warden: What did you say?
Squall: Your...breath st...stin...stinks!
「 Balamb Garden 」
Squall: Don't... Don't count on me.
...
Squall: (Why do people depend on each other?) (In the end, you're on your own.) (I've made it this far by myself.) (Sure, I couldn't do a thing when I was a kid...) (I've depend on others, but...)
...
Squall: (I'll be the first one to admit that I'm here because of other people.)...(I'm fine by myself now. I have all the skills I need to survive. I'm not a child anymore.) (That's a lie. I don't know anything. I'm confused.) (I don't want to depend on anyone. How can I do that?) (Someone tell me...) (Someone? So I'll end up depending on others after all.)
(when Squall is appointed leader of Balamb Garden)
Squall [to Cid]: Don't talk about this like it's been decided since by birth! (I don't mind fighting the sorceress. It's unavoidable as long as I'm a SeeD member.) (What? AS long as I'm a SeeD member?) (What if I quit?) (Quit... Then what? What do I have left?) (Don't even want to think about it. Just stop thinking...)
...
Squall: (I'll just have to do as I was told... Command the Garden and kill the sorceress.) (How does Headmaster Cid expect me to take care of everyone?) (It'd be best to go fight the sorceress soon, and end this nonsense.) (......!? But isn't she the headmaster's wife? He wants us to kill his wife?) (What does it feel like to give an order like that?)
「 Garden Festival 」
Squall: (Am I that untrusting...? Maybe I'm this way because I'm scared.) (Nothing lasts in this world.) (It feels great to have friends who believe in you, and adults you can rely on.) (That's why it's so dangerous, especially if you become used to it.) (Someday you're bound to lose everything. Everybody around you will be gone.) (Then what are you left with? Nothing. Nobody... It's so miserable.) (And it's inevitable. It's so hard to recover from something like that.) (I never ever want to deal with that again. I can't even if it means being alone...)
「 Trabia Garden 」
(Rinoa wishes they didn't have to fight)
Squall: (What are you getting at...?) (If someone can come up with something, that'd be great...) (But no one's doing anything... They're all scared, uneasy. All they do is complain. They just pretend to be thinking.) (They criticize others, but in the end, they can't do anything, either.) (Rinoa, why all this, all of a sudden? What do you expect from me?) (I grew up in Garden. I'm a SeeD. Do you understand?)
Rinoa: Squall? You have to voice your feelings, or else I won't understand.
Squall: You were...part of a resistance movement in Timber, right? Unlike others who were all talk, you took to your weapons and fought... And now you're saying all this? What happened to you?
(flashbacks of orphanage)
Squall: I was always waiting for 'Sis' to come back.
Young Squall: I'm...all alone. But I'm doing my best... I'll be ok without you, Sis. I'll be able to take care of myself.
Squall: (...I didn't turn out ok at all.)
Young Squall: ...Sis Elle...
Squall: Elle...Ellone. So, Ellone was 'Sis'. She was a bit older than us, and we all used to call her 'Sis'. Quistis, Zell, Selphie, Irvine, Seifer, Ellone and myself... Yeah... I'm not sure what the meaning behind all this is, but we were definitely together.
Squall: So what do you want to do? You wanna stop using GF now? As long as we continue fighting, we're indebted to the powers of the GF If there's a price I have to pay for that, I'll gladly pay for it.
(back in Trabia, Flashback ended)
Squall: I guess that's it... We're fighting.
Rinoa: ...You guys are fearless.
Squall: (Fearless? I don't think that's quite right. If you think too hard, you become lost... I think that's what everyone's afraid of...) I wish we didn't have to fight, either.
「 Balamb Garden 」
(Preparing for Galbadian attack)
Squall: I thought you were sleeping?
Zell: Oh...! Yeah, y-your announcement woke me up! My student ID is even, so I'm supposed to be here, right? Yo, Squall come here for a sec. It's about your ring. This might not be the time, but...
Squall: ...What is it?
Zell: Give me your ring, will ya? I just wanna borrow it for a while. I won't lose it or anything. C'mon, what do you say?
Squall: Why do you need it?
Zell: Uh...I can't tell you that. C'mon, just give it to me. You can trust me.
Squall: (What the hell... I like this ring... I...guess it's all right if he just wants to borrow it...) ... Don't lose it.
Zell: YEAH! THANKS MAN! I didn't think you were gonna give it to me. Rinoa is gonna be so happy!
Squall: Rinoa?
Zell: Alright, Squall! Leave this place up to me!
(Squall saves Rinoa)
Rinoa: I'm sure it is. It's a cool-looking ring. What's this monster on it anyway?
Squall: It's not a monster. It's a lion. Lions are known for their great strength and pride.
Rinoa: Hmm...great strength...pride... ...Kinda like you, Squall.
Squall: I wish...
Rinoa: Hmm...so this L I O N of yours, does it have a name?
Squall: Of course. Griever.
Rinoa: So that's what you call it. You know Zell said he'll make me one exactly like it. Who knows, maybe I can become like a lion, too. That'd be crazy, huh!? I mean, everyone might, y'know, get the wrong idea about us.
Squall: (If it's so crazy, why do you sound so delighted?) (Everyone is trying to get us together.) (It's so obvious even I can tell.) You sound like you want everyone to get the wrong idea.
「 Edea's House 」
Squall: ......... (...Dammit.)...(First time we met was the day I became a SeeD. We met again...in Timber...) ... (We had a lot of arguments at first. But in time, things began to change.) ... (You were looking at me... You smiled when our eyes met...) ... (It made me feel calm, tranquil.) ... (Rinoa... Give me another chance.)
「 Balamb Garden Infirmary 」
Squall (to unconcious Rinoa): (Rinoa... You feel so cold.) (Are you going to be like this forever?) ...... Isn't there anything I can do!? You were so full of life. Now you don't even make a sound... I want to hear your voice. (This is like talking to a wall.) Rinoa... Call my name. (......)
「 The Dreamworld 」
Squall (to Ellone): (I don't care if it's the past or what. I want to hear Rinoa. I want to see Rinoa.) (That way, there might be a chance to save her.)
...
Squall: (Sis! Ellone!) (I'm...) (I want to hear Rinoa's voice.)
