Final Fantasy X Complete Script

Chapter II: Besaid Island

Narration: I appreciated the fact that Wakka was trying to cheer me up. But at that time, all I could think about was... everything that happened to me–all this–started with Sin. Maybe if I could find Sin one more time, I could go home! For now, I'd just live life until that time came. No more worrying about where, or when, I was. Sure, it was hard not to think of home. But I started to feel better already. A little better...maybe.

Path into Jungle

Wakka: Hey! It's this way!
[Wakka leads Tidus to cliff overlooking river]
Tidus: Huh?
Wakka: (Slaps his butt)
Tidus: Whoa! (falls, Wakka dives after)

Jungle River

Tidus: What's the big idea?
[They swim downriver a while]
Wakka: (laughs, sneaks up behind T. and grabs in headlock)
Tidus: Lemme go!
Wakka: Got a favor to ask ya.
Tidus: You want me on your team, right?
Wakka: (Lets go) A major blitz tournament's coming up. All the teams in Spira'll be there! It's so huge, I'm sure someone there will recognize you! Then you can go back to your old team, right? It'll be fun! What do you say, huh? Come on, come on!
Tidus: (Flatly) Sure thing.
Wakka: Dude! Our team is gonna rock, eh?
Narration: I thought then that blitzball and Sin were the only two things that Spira and Zanarkand had in common. I wasn't too far off, either.

Besaid — Promontory

[Wakka points at Besaid village spread out below them]
Wakka: This is where I was born. I started blitz when I was five. I joined the Aurochs at thirteen...ten years ago.Ten years...and we never won a game. Well, after last year's tournament, I quit. Time seemed right.
Tidus: (Stomach rumbles)
Wakka: So, after quitting, I got this new job, ya? But every time my mind wandered, I thought about the game.
Tidus: Ten years without a single win'll do that.
Wakka: (Grunts) My first match last year was my big chance. But something else was on my mind. I couldn't focus.
Tidus: Nice excuse.
Wakka: Hey, hey!
Tidus: So you want to win the next tournament–go out with a bang.
Wakka: (Nods)
Tidus: So, what's our goal?
Wakka: I don't care how we do. Long as we play our best. If we give it our all, I can walk away happy.
Tidus: No, no, no, no, no. If I say, "What's our goal?" you say, "Victory!" When you play in a blitzball tournament, you play to win!
Wakka: Victory? You serious?
Tidus: (Nods)

If Tidus tries the path back to the river before entering the village, his stomach grumbles and he changes his mind.

If Tidus checks out statue on Promontory...
Wakka: it's an ancient custom. People leaving the island pray here for a safe trip. They say it works pretty good.

Besaid — Village Slope

: Ah, the one from the sea!
: Be on guard. There're fiends on the road today!
Luzzu: After surviving your run-in with Sin, 'twould be a shame if something happened now.
[ head towards village]
Tidus: Who were they?
Wakka: Luzzu and Gatta–Crusaders.
Tidus: Eh? Crews of what?
Wakka: What, you forgot that too?
Tidus: (Sags)
Wakka: Hey, sorry. Don't worry about it. I'll help you out.
Tidus: Cool.
Tidus: In return, come tournament time, I'll make sure we take the cup!
Wakka: Cool! About the Crusaders, you can ask them yourself. They've got a lodge in the village.

Entering village for first time...

Wakka: Besaid Village.
Tidus: They got any food there?
Wakka: We'll get you something over there later. Take a look around first. Let's see... The Crusaders Lodge is over yonder. Luzzu and Gatta are usually there. (Points) Hm.
Wakka: Oh, right. (Beckons) Over here!
Tidus: Huh? What's up?
Wakka: You do remember the prayer, right?

I don't remember.Narration: I didn't know it in the first place, to tell the truth.
Wakka: Man, that's like the basics of the basics. Alright. I'll show you.I don't know any prayers.Narration: Of course I'd never prayed before in my life. Not that he would know that...
Wakka: You...must have forgot or something. Here, I'll show you.
