Al’s sweet. The fandom understands that Al’s sweet. There’s no denying that. But I think people let that perception of Al mask the fact that he’s sassy as shit. Especially toward Ed.
Alphonse “Ohhhh great, now my arm fell off because my brother’s a big fat idiot!” Elric Alphonse “No way we look nothing alike. I don’t have a mean face like my brother. And I’m way taller!” Elric Alphonse “How do you plan to make this work? Because Scar literally tore us apart last time, Ed.” Elric
Alphonse is saucy as all hell and he takes none of Ed’s shit. The boy 400% definitely encouraged the most ridiculous tall tales about the Fullmetal Alchemist which spread around Amestris.
You are 112% right. Gluttony attacks the lot of them and Mustang’s flame attack doesn’t work, so Ed, Al and Mustang just start sprinting for their lives. While they’re running Al’s plan b is literally “Hey let’s leave Mustang behind.”
The exact exchange in the dub is
Ed: sarcastically “Hey, that worked well!” Mustang: “You’ve got something better, be my guest!” Al: “Or we could just leave you behind, Colonel. You’re the one he’s really after!”
Roy Mustang thought of himself as a responsible, adult – one that cared deeply for the education of his students and was willing to sacrifice his time, effort, and pride to make sure they were interested and enthused about his subject.
That being said, he wasn’t expecting ‘Light Up the Diggy Diggy Dark’, an all-original, educational rap about the effects of flame on various elements, to be such a smash-hit.
He’s finally beginning to think he’s free of it when Ms. Hawkeye of Room 122 comes to ask for his projector. It’s that moment when Maes Hughes, Calculus teacher and royal pain in his ass, decides to call her cellphone.
