Game Script[edit]

The Usual Part 1 - Port Bastok
Hilda: Ah, it's you.

That customer I told you about came back, and I was able to serve him rolanberry (874 C.E.) this time, thanks to you.

Hilda: He said he used to work with my husband in the Metalworks before he retired.

Hilda: He wanted to have King Truffle the next time he comes, but I don't know where to get one...

The Usual Part 2 - Port Bastok
Hilda: Oh, my! Wherever did you find this? Thank you, you've saved me again!

I must tell that customer to come back...

Hilda: Oh, but I forgot to ask him his name!
He said he still worked in the Metalworks...

Hilda: He said he used to work with my husband there.
He's a Galka, very reserved but polite.
Do you know him?

Hilda: If you do see him, could you give him this letter of invitation for me?

The Usual Part 3 - Metalworks
Raibaht: An invitation from the Steaming Sheep?

Hmm... Please do not mention this to the Chief. But tell the proprietor I will go visit her establishment as soon as I can.

The Usual Part 4 - Port Bastok
Hilda: Did you give my letter to my customer?

You did? Thank you.
You say his name is Raibaht?

Hilda: He works in Cid's lab as the Chief Engineer's aide?
Now that you mention it, I do remember hearing his name before...

Hilda: Oh!

Raibaht: Thank you for your invitation, Ms. Hilda. I must apologize for my lack of manners for ordering dishes and not even leaving my name.

Hilda: Please, Mister Raibaht, come this way.

Raibaht: Your husband and I were hired the same year by the Metalworks Department of Mining. But we were never on good terms, to say the least.

Hilda: Then why...?

Raibaht: Most Humes only think of us as big brutes...but your husband was the only one to see me, a Galka, as someone worthy enough to be his rival.

Raibaht: The other Humes did not even consider me capable of being a scientist.
Your husband, though, would come to me every time he made a breakthrough...and brag.

Raibaht: You may laugh, but I cannot explain how happy I was that he would come to me, and no one else.

Hilda: Yes, my husband was like that. He was outspoken, honest about his feelings, even childish in some ways.
His wanting to open this restaurant, for example...

Raibaht: Yes. I was dismayed at first when he decided to retire, but after seeing this place...I understand why.

Hilda: When did you decide to work for the Chief Engineer?
I didn't think his kind of work was in your field of expertise.

Raibaht: Your husband used to tell me about him.
When I learned that it was his invention that caused your husband's demise, I decided to approach him, without revealing my true intents.

Hilda: What were you thinking of doing!?

Raibaht: I wanted to see what kind of man could live with the death of so many on his conscience...but I have yet to understand him fully. He is more complex that any equation I've ever had to solve.

Raibaht: But do not worry, madam--vengeance is long gone from my mind.
I understand now why your husband was so fond of him.
He and Cid are very much alike.

Hilda: Yes...I know.

Raibaht: I will study Cid's work, and when I understand it fully, I will pass that knowledge down to future generations.

Raibaht: That is what your husband would have wanted me to do.
I know that now.
