Funny / Phylactery

• After Mrs. Bradley asks the Homunculi what their food preferences are, Greed ends up giving a very, very, very long list of foods he enjoys, prompting Ed to burst out laughing that he's inherited Ling's appetite. Even funnier is the cute little detail of Gluttony salivating all over his place at the table whilst listening to said list.
• Mrs. Bradley having to take care of Envy when he's sick.
  • Envy's entire demeanor while he's sick, especially his reaction to Gluttony tasting the medicine Mrs. Bradley plans to give him and reacting poorly to it; he ends up assuming that it's actually poison and they're trying to Mercy Kill him.
  • Mrs. Bradley convincing Envy to take the medicine by threatening to make Sloth sit on him.
  • When Selim points out that Envy's illness could spread to the others, Envy goes from squicked out to deciding to try and spread it to Greed. When Lust jumps to the conclusion that this would require that they kiss, Envy declares that, if it'll make him sick, he'll kiss Greed with tongue.
• The Homunculi's reactions to The Fisherman and His Wife, especially since they perfectly fit with their personalities/sins; Greed insists that the Wife was in the right and that the story sends the message that "you should be happy with nothing"; Lust thinks that the Fisherman was spineless and the Wife shouldn't have had to put up with him; Envy sympathizes with the Fisherman, noting that him having the fish get rid of his Wife's riches was out of jealousy rather than anything else; Pride thinks that the message was that "appearances are deceiving" and the fish must've been hiding something, and pesters his mother to tell him he's right; Gluttony just wants to know what the fish tasted like; and Sloth simply thinks to himself that getting involved with things is a bad thing.
• At one point, Greed discusses his past arrangement with Ling Yao within earshot of Mrs. Bradley. The problem is, he doesn't choose his words carefully enough, so all Mrs. Bradley hears is effectively "Our deal was that he gives me his body and I give him the secret of immortality", which prompts Mrs. Bradley to jump to the wrong conclusion, much to Greed's embarrassment and Envy's immense amusement. It's probably a good thing that Greed didn't mention Ling's age at the time...
  • Even funnier, Mrs. Bradley doesn't even express shock at the idea of Greed getting sexual with another man—she's just concerned at the idea of Greed having taken advantage of someone to get sexual favors out of them. Greed, being Greed, is nothing short of shocked.
  • It's all topped off with Mrs. Bradley breaking up a fight between Greed and Envy and admonishing them by saying she'd put them over her knee. The siblings have no idea what that means, and Mrs. Bradley is thoroughly embarrassed when Greed tells her it sounds like a sex thing.
  Greed: …I take it that's a punishment somehow, but all I'm coming up with is more hanky-panky.
• When everyone discusses dreams after Envy has his first nightmare, Greed lists off dreams he thought he had when he was sharing a body with Ling (they were actually Ling's dreams). A few of them, apparently, were "very nice" dreams about Lan Fan, which Mrs. Bradley quickly cuts him off about due to them edging into Too Much Information territory.
  • Sloth apparently dreams about sleeping.
  • Selim still can't dream, which leads to him immediately getting excited and hounding Envy for details after Mrs. Bradley lets it slip that Envy had a nightmare.
  • When Envy mentions that his nightmare involved being trapped in Gluttony's stomach again, Gluttony just says "I said I was sorry!" Mrs. Bradley is, of course, taken aback, but opts not to question anything this time.
