Ed is overjoyed to be back in Central, and can't wait to begin his search for Marcoh's notes in the Central Library's First Branch. Unfortunately, they learn that the First Branch was completely destroyed the night before. To add to their troubles, witnesses had seen Scar in the vicinity before the fire. Now, coupled with a new pair of guards (one of whom is insistent that they go somewhere safer) the brothers must find another way to discover the secret of the Philosopher's Stone.

(Hughes is on the phone with Mustang, again)
Hughes: I advise you make some friends. People who will support you when the time comes. Which is why I make this crucial suggestion...
(suddenly lowering his voice to a barely audible whisper)
Hughes: You find yourself a wife!
(Mustang slams the phone down) (edit)
(Hughes is on the phone with Mustang)
Hughes: She has the voice of an angel! That settles it! She's gonna be an opera star!
Mustang: Lieutenant Colonel ... some of us have real work to do.
Hughes: Yeah, I've got loads of it! I never know where the hours in the day go! (edit)
(speaking to Mustang about the investigation on Scar)
Hughes: His bloodstained clothes washed up further down stream. We don't know if that means that he's dead, or just naked. (edit)
Lust: One book in this whole mess, it's like finding the needle in the stack of needles. (edit)
Gluttoney: Ooo Lust, does that mean I get to eat him too? (edit)

Trivia

add »
Goof:
When Ed and Al first see the 1st Branch of the Central Library in ruins, the camera is to their backs and Ed's hands are by his side, his arms are not bent. In the next shot, showing the front of the brothers, Ed's arms are bent.
(edit)
Anime vs. Manga:
In the Manga:
1. Scar fights Lust and Gluttony in the sewers of East City, not in Central.
2. Lust burns down the library herself, but not because of a fight getting out of hand.
3. It took Sciezka five days to copy Marcoh's notes, not three days. (edit)
Scar reveals that Lust and Gluttony are Homunculi. (edit)

Allusions

Sciezka and Yomiko Readman:
Sciezka's appearance and love of books resembles Yomiko Readman (aka: The Paper) from the OAV and TV series, "Read or Die". (edit)

"Average"
Pretty standard FullMetal Alchemist, which actually makes it kind of disappointing. Key revelation at the end almost makes up for it, but one wishes that revelation were in a better installment.
