Ed: Let's escape.
Al: That's impossible! I can't swim!
Ed: Uh. Come to think of it, neither can I. (edit)
Izumi: You two have to survive on this island, all by yourselves for one full month, all right? Oh. And you can't use any alchemy.

Ed and Al: WHAT!?!?!? (edit)

Trivia

add »
Izumi Curtis teaches Ed and Al about the meaning of "All is One, and One is All". But "All is One, and One is All" is referenced to the Ouroboros, which is the exact opposite of the Flamel Symbol that Ed, Al, and Izumi wear. (edit)
Goof: Availability of First Aid Supplies:
After Ed gets bitten by the fox in the flashback he wrapped up his shoulder with white bandages. However, there was no way for the brothers to get the bandages; Izumi only gave them a hunting knife to survive on the deserted island. (edit)
The symbol on Al's shoulder, the back of Ed's coat, and above Izumi's left breast is called the Flamel Snake. It is also the symbol for Alchemy. (edit)
Goof: Two Right Feet?
When Ed and Al were standing by the pond, two right footprints appear behind Ed while he's walking on his left leg. (edit)

Allusions

add »
Ed, Al and Izumi's Insignia: The Flamel Snake:
The Flamel Snake symbol references Nicolas (also spelled Nicholas) Flamel (1330 - 1418); who rose from being a humble Parisian bookseller to become one of the most famous alchemists of his day - and beyond.
Supposed possessor of the legendary Philosopher's Stone, Flamel and his wife, Pernelle were rumored to be still alive centuries after their recorded deaths.
This is the same Nicholas Flamel mentioned in "Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone" (British title: "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"). (edit)

"Exactly why I watch this series"
It was the only clue Izumi offered, as she dumped young Ed and Al on the island of Yock: "One is All, All is One." It was perhaps the most ancient tenant of alchemy, but what did it mean? Years later, the lesson must be relearned.
