Looks like Mr. Bridge Worker got all huffy and went home.

Oh, and watch out while you're giving the bridge worker a ride. He's fussier than a squeaky rail! If you don't blow your whistle when the signs say to... Or if you don't follow the signs telling you to speed up or slow down... Or if you don't stop right at the platform... Or if you get hit by an enemy while you're traveling... He'll get all bent out of shape. If you don't wanna get an earful, be careful! Also, don't use the reverse on the gearbox to brake suddenly! That kind of thing is dangerous for the passengers! But this is all stuff a good engineer already knows. I have it all written down at my house, so swing by if you ever forget. Good luck!

Aw, rats! I was gonna ask you to take me to Papuchia Village. But I guess you're already giving the bridge worker a ride, huh... Well, no biggie. I'll just walk there. It'll give me a chance to take some killer pics along the way. Oh, but you should know that the bridge worker is super-mega fussy. If you don't blow your whistle when the signs say so... Or if you don't follow the signs telling you to speed up or slow down... Or if you don't stop right at the platform... Or if you get hit by an enemy while you're traveling... He'll jump off the train and yell at you till he's blue in the face. Also, don't use the reverse on the gearbox to brake suddenly! That kind of thing is dangerous for the passengers! But this is all stuff a good engineer already knows. I have it all written down at my house, so swing by if you ever forget. Good luck!

Say, if it isn't you again! What's shaking, pal? You ever seen that big stone arch that stands over the tracks? Makes ya think, doesn't it? Who MADE it? For WHAT? What a mystery! I hear the triangle-shaped thing at the top of the arch does something. But only if you hit it real hard! But I don't even know what that thing is! What could it BE? WHAT? Ah, sorry for rambling. I just get excited about rad stuff!

Alfonzo was saying there's no such thing as a legendary engineer... But I don't believe that. There's got to be one somewhere!

OH MY GOSH! OHMYGOSH! You're Alfonzo!

Yes, that's right. And, uh... Who are you?

OHMYGOSH, I can't believe you're asking MY name! I'm Ferrus, your biggest fan! I even have dreams about meeting you! You're a living locomotive legend!

A legend? Me?

Yes, YOU! The legendary engineer Alfonzo! And here you are, standing right in front of me! I'm so excited, I might pass out! Um, could I please have your autograph, sir?

Well, I don't know if I'm a legendary engineer. But back when I was a knight, people used to call me a legendary swordsman. Especially after I did 900 reps in sword training!

Are you sure you heard them right? Are you sure they weren't actually saying "legendary engineer"?

Erm... I'm pretty sure it was "legendary swordsman." I'm not even sure there is such a thing as a legendary engineer...

Oh...

Well, this wasn't quite as exciting as I thought it would be... But at least I got to ride in that sweet train of yours. So, as my way of saying thanks, please take this!

I'm just gonna hang around here and photograph some trains. See you later!

Uh, who was that guy?

You really should go rescue your kidnapped passenger STAT! He's probably freaking out now, so come back for me later. Write it down so you don't forget, OK?

You should probably finish this job first. You can come back for me later... I'll be here for a while. Just please don't forget to come back for me!

Are you serious? You're free to take me now? All riiiight! Let's go to Alfonzo's! Let's go. Nah.

Then pull yourself together and let's go!

Wait, but there's already someone else on the train. You should probably finish this job first. You can come back for me later. I'll be here for a while. Just please don't forget about me! I'll be waiting!

Oh, hey. I, um, heard that one of your PASSENGERS GOT KIDNAPPED! I know everything. You can't hide this kind of news from me! So, don't worry about me right now. You really should go rescue him ASAP! He's probably freaking out now, so come back for me later. Write it down so you don't forget, OK?

OK, I get it. If you ever change your mind, please give me another chance!

Um, no offense, but that was terrible. If you ask me, your driving gets one star. I expected more from the top student of THE Alfonzo. You must not have been giving it your all. Do you want to try again? Yes. No.

Uh, you're all bent out of shape by what I just said, are you? Come ON. Don't be so sensitive. I didn't mean it in a bad way, honest. Will you please take me one more time? Hop in. No.

Y-you'll really take me to get THE Alfonzo's autograph? You're not pulling my leg, are you? Hop in. Psyche!

Oh em gee! Yessss! Then let's go!

Oh, and I definitely want to evaluate your driving skills! I can't believe I get to ride with the apprentice of the legendary Alfonzo! This is the greatest day of my life. Anyway, I'm ready when you are!

What's going on here?! You've already got a passenger on board! Aw... Guess the autograph is gonna have to wait. Well, come by later, OK? I'll just be here snapping some hot steam-engine pics! Write it down so you don't forget! Later, pal.

Aw, come on! A small side trip for you could make my life's dream come true! Please... OK, fine, I can see that you're not going to budge right now. I'll be here for a while snapping trains. If you change your mind at any time, PLEASE come get me! Write this all down so you don't forget, OK?

So we meet again! Excellent! I've been trying to snap some glamour shots of an armored exploding train. They never seem to come my way, though. It's such a bummer. But on another note, aren't you the apprentice of the legendary Alfonzo? He's my all-time favorite engineer! My hero. LOVE THAT GUY. Oh, I just had a sudden brainflash! You could introduce me to him! I carry a pen and paper on me at all times just for situations like these. So, please please please take me to get my hero's autograph. You'll do it, won't you? Fine. Sorry.

You really should go rescue your kidnapped passenger STAT! He's probably freaking out now, so come back for me later. Write it down so you don't forget, OK?

You should probably finish this job first. You can come back for me later... I'll be here for a while. Just please don't forget to come back for me!

Oh, are you free now? Excellent! Well, shall we make our way to the Ocean Temple? Let's go! No.

OK, pull yourself together and let's go!

Wait, there's already someone on your train. You can come back for me later. Just take them where they need to go first. I'll be here for a while, but don't forget about me! I'll be waiting for you!

Oh, hey. I, um, heard that one of your PASSENGERS GOT KIDNAPPED! I know everything. You can't hide this kind of news from me! So, don't worry about me right now. You really should go rescue him ASAP! He's probably freaking out now, so come back for me later. Write it down so you don't forget, OK?

What's wrong? Do you have a bellyache or something? Take care of yourself, man! A good engineer knows better than that. Come back when you're feeling better!

Um, that was terrible. If you ask me, your driving gets one star. Well, I guess there's no way around your rotten driving. After all, your teacher is legendary SWORDSMAN Alfonzo. Will you please try it again? And do it right! OK. No.

Oh, don't give me that look. I'm sorry if I offended you with what I said. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. What I mean to say is... Will you try again to take me to the Ocean Temple? Hop in. Uh...

You're going to give me a ride? AWESOME! Seeing the ocean rails is a dream come true! I'm so excited, I could scream! ...Um, waiting here all day is cool and all, but let's go! Yes. No.

YESSS! SWEET! Then let's get going!

Oh, yeah. Will you let me off at the Ocean Temple? I've always wanted to go. It's one of the top 100 most beautiful, supersecret landmarks ever. So, you got that? Thanks!

Um, there's already someone on the train. I guess that means the ocean floor will just have to wait. Dang. Well, that's OK. I'll be here snapping some hot train pics. But promise me you'll come back for me, OK? Write it down so you don't forget! All right, see you later!

Oh, hey. I, um, heard that one of your PASSENGERS GOT KIDNAPPED! I know everything. You can't hide this kind of news from me! So, don't worry about me right now. You really should go rescue him ASAP! He's probably freaking out now, so come back for me later. Write it down so you don't forget, OK?

Uh, what's the big rush? Where are you going? Well, whatever. I'll be here snapping some hot, hot train pics. Come back for me when you've got some time. Write it down so you don't forget, OK?!

Well, look who it is! You know, Alfonzo totally wasn't what I was expecting. I guess I thought his life would be more glamorous. Anyway, how about you take me somewhere awesome now? Like maybe...the ocean- floor rails? Sure. What?

Hey, quit playing dumb! That routine hurts my feelings, you know. To make it up to me, you should take me on a ride. It's the least you can do! Hop in. No.

OK, I'm gonna get started on that report tomorrow! The only way to stay sharp is through hard work. Don't ever forget that.

Oh, hey there. No, I'm not making much progress on the report. See, I got the sudden urge to reorganize my entire photo collection. You know how it is with procrastination. It always sneaks up on you just when you're trying to start something big. Anyway, I'm definitely gonna get working on that report...starting tomorrow!

Hey! Good to see you. What's shakin'? As for me, I'm gonna hole up at home for a while to work on a report. It's about those mysterious trains that have recently appeared. Yep, all this time, I haven't just been hanging out. I've been doing serious research! So anyway, I think I'm gonna get started on that report tomorrow!
