Greed mentions in **Episode 33 (Al, Captured)** that he wants to know how to
bind a soul to an armor so that he could also be "immortal" like Al. But since
Greed is a Homunculus, he doesn't even have a soul, as mentioned by Lust
(probably in **Episode 21 - The Red Glow** ) as the reason why Homunculi can't
perform alchemy.

Can someone explain Greed's intentions?

Why does Greed in FMA (2003) want to know how to bind a soul to an armor?


He might not be speaking literally and is praising Al for being unable to die

Greed has insatiable greed and shows the desire to want something he doesn't
even need.

This may not be mentioned in the anime but I am answering based on what I
understood.

Ling Yao at the very end of the brotherhood anime mentions to Greed that all
he wanted was friends and relationships that supported him.

Greed also had multiple phases when he was reminded of his friends that he had
before being killed by the father.

So to answer your question, Greed wanted to bind his friends' soul to an armor
and bring them back to life since Human transmutation is not possible.

**TL;DR** He wanted to revive his friends who satiated his empty feeling in
his heart.
