| Black Mage | See, the guy you want is someone else. He's a jerk, you'll love killing him. Oh good, you're sitting now. How pleasant for my eyes. |
| Greed | Hey, I'm a very busy personification of man's struggle with his own greed. I don't have time for this. |
| Black Mage | No, see, Thief is the one you need to talk to. |
| Greed | Look, are you going to have an introspective metaphorical battle with your own base urges, or do I have to eat you? |
| Black Mage | That's... an unusual choice. |
| Greed | I've got to appear to a banker on his death bed in five, so make it quick, will ya? |
| Black Mage | Okay. Um. Oh, I'm greedy. And, uh, nauseous...? Yeah. What a wasted life. Woe is unto he who is I. |
| Black Mage | Er, my wife, who is completely real, oh, how I guess I've neglected her. |
| Black Mage | I'll just change my ways now. Done! |
| Greed | Well, that sure sounds like an internalized battle against one's own demons. |
| Black Mage | It is. It totally is. Wait! Wait, I think I... yes, that's a breakthrough whew! |
| Greed | Are you sure? Maybe I should eat you anyway just to be safe. |
| Black Mage | No. No, I'm good. Thanks. |
| Greed | You sure? I've still got a minute. |
| Black Mage | It would be, uh, greedy of me to ask that of you. Go on ahead. |
