Kari Wahlgren: Shelke Rui
Quotes
-
[Shelke has taken a defensive position]
Nero : And what do we think we are doing?
Shelke Rui : I... I don't really know. However, since coming here I have realized one thing. I don't want to let down anyone who's counting on me.
Nero : [long pause] Pure nonsense.
Shelke Rui : Nonsense?... Perhaps.
[power's her weapons up & fights him]
-
Shalua Rui : [has a hold of Shelke's hand, trying to get through the door] Come on.
Shelke Rui : [tugging her arm] Let go of me!
Shalua Rui : I don't think so.
[Shelke looks a litte surprised]
Shalua Rui : We have 10 years to catch up on. I'm not gonna let this end here...
[suddenly the 'blast' doors start to close; Vincent runs towards them]
Vincent Valentine : Shalua!
[Shalua barely manages to get her false arm between them, propping them open; she & Vincent try to pry the doors open; she groans]
Shelke Rui : Why are you doing this?
Shalua Rui : [pause] You can still get through.
Shelke Rui : Huh?
Shalua Rui : Go on.
[pushes Shelke through; holding door as if to try & keep it open longer]
Shalua Rui : Shelke...
[voice gets quieter with each sentence]
Shalua Rui : I'm sorry... I'm sorry I wasn't a better sister.
[false arm starts to break under the pressure, doors slowly closing]
Shalua Rui : I'm sorry I let you suffer... for so long. Vincent... take care of her, will you?
Vincent Valentine : [still trying to pry the doors open; voice strained from the effort] Wait!
Shalua Rui : Shelke... I'm glad I was able to find you. And remember
[almost a whisper]
Shalua Rui : I'll always... love you.
[arm finally crushed as the doors close; Vincent pounds his fists once againts the door in frustration]
Shelke Rui : [taken aback; voice almost neutral] Why?...
[loud bang from the other side of the doors, which shake with the force; fluid seeps under the doors]
Shelke Rui : Why did she... Why?... Shalua...
[another bang against the doors, & Vincent grabs Shelke's arm, taking off down the corridor]
-
[Vincent entered the room where Yuffie is sitting on a computer desk and glancing at Shalua's lifeless body in a container]
Yuffie Kisaragi : [unhappy] They... they say she won't wake up. She suffered too much trauma to her head. Unless there's some kind of a miracle, she... she's not...
[pause]
Yuffie Kisaragi : [angry] Vincent! You were there! Why couldn't you save her?
Vincent Valentine : I'm sorry.
Yuffie Kisaragi : [anger deflates completely] Uhh. No.
[beat]
Yuffie Kisaragi : I didn't mean to...
[Shelke appeared at the scene]
Shelke Rui : [glancing at Shalua] She was a fool.
[Yuffie angrily gets up and slaps Shelke, though Shelke doesn't react to her face getting slapped]
Yuffie Kisaragi : [upset] You have no right to call her that!
[about to cry]
Yuffie Kisaragi : You don't know...! You don't know what...!
[Vincent backs Yuffie away from Shelke]
Shelke Rui : Why...? Why would she do something so...?
[extremely upset and almost about to cry, Yuffie walks away from the scene]
Vincent Valentine : Before, when I asked Shalua what she was searching for, she answered "her reason to live."
[beat]
Vincent Valentine : It was you, Shelke... *You* were her reason to live.
Shelke Rui : So? I don't understand... how someone could give her own life for that of another. Do you understand, Vincent Valentine?
Vincent Valentine : Hm. I can't answer for your sister. But...
Shelke Rui : But?
Vincent Valentine : When a person has someone they care about that much, giving their life is sometimes the least they can do. And maybe that's what makes us human.
Shelke Rui : Someone they care about...
Vincent Valentine : Although, it seems like there are a lot of people around me who don't need a reason to risk their lives for that of another.
Shelke Rui : And are you...
[Shelke stumbles, almost falls to the floor; Vincent catches her and holds her shoulders]
