FFIX - Script - 1.6 - Qu's Marsh & Chocbo's Forest (Optional Areas)
"Hungry..."
"Frogs..."
[You catch a frog, then speak to this character again]
Qu
"You got frog!"
"Frogs very good! Mmmm!"
Zidane
"Who the heck are you?"
Qu
"Me?"
[Name the character "Quina"]
Zidane
"Quina, do you want this frog?"
Quina
"Yes, yes!"
"Yes, yes!"
Zidane
"...Alright. Here."
Quina
"Yaaay!"
[Quina received a frog]
Quina
"Mine, mine!"
[Someone else, garbed in a chef's hat like Quina, walks onto the screen]
Quale
"You pathetic, Quina. Can't even feed yourself."
[The screen fades to black, and fades back in inside Quale's house]
Quale
"Can't master art of eating just chasing frogs, Quina."
Quina
"But, Master, frogs very good!"
"Frogs here best! Better than Alexandria's."
Quale
"Quina, you in darkness. Need some light."
"World big place. Many many foods."
"Alexandria just one kingdom. You need go out more, eat other food."
Quina
"Go out into world...? Sound scary. Are there yummier frogs outside?"
Quale
"Of course! Many good frogs!"
"All Qus love frogs best. Eating frogs is key to growth."
"Qu marshes exist all over world."
"Go eat frogs in other marshes. I promise, you get much learning."
[Quale turns to Zidane]
"Traveler, please show Quina the world."
"Anywhere with food good."
Zidane
"You want me to take him with us?"
[Choose between "Why not" or "Forget it". Choose "Why not". A party of 4 is better than a party of 3]
Quina
"Will I find yummier frogs outside?"
Zidane
"There is plenty of stuff in the world that tastes better than frogs."
Quina
"Really really!?"
"Okay, I go with you!"
Quale & Zidane
"......"
[Vivi and Zidane walk out of Quale's house]
Vivi
"......"
Zidane
"What's up, Vivi?"
Vivi
"Um..."
"That man looks exactly like my grandpa."
Zidane
"Your grandfather? Who, that Quale guy?"
Vivi
"Yeah... Maybe he knows my grandpa."
"I'm gonna go talk to him, Zidane."
[Vivi and Zidane enter the building again]
Quina
"What wrong? Something on my face?"
Vivi
"Um... Do you know a man named Quan?"
Quale
"?"
"...I not know that bigot!"
Vivi
"Grandpa Quan was a bit strange, but... How do you know him?"
Quale
"I-I no can answer."
Vivi
"Grandpa Quan looks exactly like you, Mr.Quale..."
Quale
"Of course. We from same tribe."
Vivi
"......"
Zidane
"You really don't know him?"
Quale
"No! I not know this Quan!"
Zidane
"Honestly...?"
"That's too bad... Let's go, Vivi."
Vivi
"Okay..."
[Zidane and Vivi leave. Before exiting, Vivi turns around to get one final look at Quale. After exiting Quale's house, with Quina now in your party, you exit Qu's Marsh and continue to Gizamaluke's Grotto]
[Another optional area you can visit is "Chocobo's Forest". Zidane enters the forest. A moogle is riding on a Chocobo, which stops directly in front of Zidane, before backing up. The moogle approaches Zidane]
"Kupooo!!!"
Mene
"I'm Mene, master of this forest! This chocobo is my friend, kupo. His name is Choco."
Choco
"Kweeeh!"
Mene
"And this is..."
[Chocobo's Forest appears on the screen in big letters]
Zidane
"Hey, did a cute girl with long hair come by here?"
Mene
"No. But ugly girl came by here."
Zidane
"Oh... I guess she didn't come this way."
"Maybe she's heading toward Burmecia after all... I'd better get movin'."
Mene
"You in a hurry, Kupo?"
Zidane
"Yeah, sort of."
Mene
"Then take Choco. You won't run into monsters if you ride Choco."
"Choco, come here."
Zidane
"It's okay. Don't force him..."
Mene
"No. If Choco hates, Choco runs away."
"Choco, come on! Kupo!!!"
Choco
[Backs up]
"Kweeeh!!!"
[Runs out of the forest]
Mene
"Fine. I'll just get to the point, kupo."
"These are Gysahl Green! You can call Choco outside the forest with these."
"Find chocobo footprints near the forest, kupo. Use Gysahl Greens there, and Choco will come."
"Choco likes you, kupo. You call, and he'll come! Please train Choco! Make him strong!"
"Come back to this forest after you all him in the world. I'll tell you a big secret, kupo."
[Received Gyshal Greens!]
[Zidane leaves the forest]
