Final Fantasy X Complete Script

Chapter II: Besaid Island

¬Little boy: Let's go help the summoner! I promise I'll be a good boy!

¬Daddy: You should pray for the apprentice summoner's safety, too.

: Wakka's a guardian. He should go help.

: The villagers have a lot on their minds. You should stay quiet for a while. Intoxication is no excuse for bothering people with questions.

: He looks pretty weak. Maybe he just can't take it.

: Sorry I can't do more to help. You understand, eh, sonny? The whole village's all wound up, with the apprentice not back from the trials.
¬All this worrying's no good for an old man like myself.

: The apprentice entered the trials, and hasn't come back...

(comforting little girl): With Lord Braska looking over her, I'm sure she'll be returning, ya?

(Nuns' Chamber): I don't mean to be rude, but some privacy would be appreciated. I must pray for our apprentice summoner, you understand.
¬The people of the village could use your help. You should pray, too.

(Monks' Chamber): My heart is heavy when I think of the worst that could happen. Should the Trials remain unconquered, our apprentice has no future.
¬Great strength is only obtained through great suffering.

Besaid Temple — Great Hall

[Tidus approaches Wakka and Priest]
Tidus: Is something wrong?
Wakka: The summoner hasn't returned from the trial.
Tidus: Eh?
Wakka: Well, apprentice summoner, really...
Tidus: Ah?
Wakka: There's a room in there called the Cloister of Trials. Beyond is where the apprentice summoner prays. If the prayer is heard, the apprentice becomes a fully-fledged summoner, remember?
Tidus: So someone is in there somewhere and they haven't come back out. Right, I got it.
Wakka: A day's already gone by.
Tidus: Is it particularly dangerous in there?
Wakka: Sometimes, yes.
Tidus: Why don't you go in and help?
Wakka: There's already guardians in there. Besides, it's forbidden.
Tidus: (Runs halfway up stairs) Hey, but what if somethin' happens? What if the summoner dies!?
Priest: The precepts must be obeyed!
Tidus: Like I care!
(Worshippers gasp)
[Tidus dashes up steps and enters...]

Cloister of Trials

Narration: Maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all.
[Tidus solves Cloister of Trials. Wakka shows up.]
Wakka: Hey! What's gotten into you?
Wakka: Hey, it's okay.
Wakka: Only summoners, apprentice summoners, and their guardians can enter here. It's a tradition. Very important.
Tidus: So what about you?
Wakka: Me? I'm a guardian.
Tidus: A guardian?
Wakka: (Spreads hands and shrugs)
[Floor drops.]
Tidus: Whoa...ack!
Wakka: Summoners go on a pilgrimage to pray at every temple in Spira. Guardians protect them. The guardians in there now...One of them's got a short fuse, and who knows what the other's thinking.
Wakka: Well, now that we've come this far...might as well go all the way!

Waiting Room Outside Chamber of Fayth

[Wakka slaps forehead. Lulu on steps, Kimahri standing.]
Lulu: What are you doing here? Didn't think we'd be able to handle it?
Wakka: No, it's uh...it's just...
Lulu: (Gets up and stalks over)
Wakka: (Nudges Tidus) See, I told you she gets mad easily.
Tidus: (Peers at Kimahri)
Kimahri: (Looks over, looks away)
Tidus: Is the summoner all right?
Lulu: (Doubletake) Who are you?

FMV: A Summoner Is Born

[Yuna staggers from Chamber of the Fayth, falls, caught by Kimahri. She stands and says...]
Yuna: I've done it. I have become a summoner!

Besaid Temple, Great Hall

[Tidus follows Yuna and guardians out of Cloister.]
Narration: Man, was I surprised. And here I was thinking summoners were all old geezers.
[Villagers escort Yuna and guardians outside]
