2016/2017 Lines

A-bup-bup-bup-bup-bup-bup-bup! Where do think yer goin', lass? Yer a movie star now, lassie! We need yer ugly mug all over so that birds from 'round the world will come to watch me movies! Here, take this pen and paper, and start makin' me a movie poster! Make yerself look tough, and ready for a fistfight! Oh, and make sure ye give yerself an outfit as well! It's all about the looks. *laughs* Is that the best yer can do, then? Ah... Alright. I'll put these up.
The revised intro that was partially recorded for Battle of the Birds. The first line is actually a duplicate of the one still leftover in the final game, albeit with a different file and re-imported a day later. Something interesting to note about the last line is that the Conductor says he'll "put these up". The player's sketch, according to Habboi, was originally going to appear on a wall at least in Mafia Town. Looking at how the materials for certain decal materials in Mafia Town and the Moon are set up, the player's sketch would've indeed been put up by the Conductor.

A-bup-bup-bup-bup-bup-bup-bup! Where do think yer goin', laddie?' No children allowed! Gimme a sketch of how manly ye are. Show me yer ain't no child. Oh, I see it in yer eyes. Yer a child up to no good, in my book. If ye ain't... ye've got to prove it!
Lines intended for Timmy were also found. The localization for some of these lines can be found in the Beta builds.

Go on in!
A solo version of the "Go on in" line in the final game.

Ooh, nice place ye've got here, lass! Not bad, not bad at all. Ye know, back in me old days, I used to go on adventures, just like yerself. Wanna hear old stories from an old man? I won't give yer a reward or nothin'. What kinda story do yer want to hear? That'll be 50 pons for a new story. Huh? Ye thought me wisdom was gonna be free? Ha! That'll be 100 pons for the next story. That'll be 200 pons for the next story. Ooh hoo hoo! My stories are in demand! Alright, pick a story ye'd like ta hear.
The lines for the scrapped appearance of the Conductor aboard the spaceship. Unlike the localization might suggest, it seems there were set prices for each story by the point these were recorded.

Whoa! Ow! Oof! Wah! O-ow! Oww! Aaagh! *grunts*
Lines of the Conductor grunting and yelping in pain, intended for when he takes damage in the boss fight. In the final game, he says nothing when attacked.

Heee... *grunts* Yaaaah! *grunts* *grunts* Hah! Hoo-wahhh! Wah!
Lines for the Conductor jumping into the air during the boss fight. In the final he says nothing whenever he does so. Get used to this, as it's a common trend in not only his version of the boss fight, but DJ Grooves's version as well.

Catch me if ye can!
A line the Conductor was meant to speak while running around during the bomb countdown segment. In the final game, he says different lines.

Whoosh! What's buzzin'?!
Lines intended for Conductor's saw blade attack. In the final game, you guessed it, he remains silent.

Picture perfect! Seein' DOUBLE?
Lines most likely intended for the photograph duplication attack. In the final, he remains silent during it.

How many can ye handle? Meet my friends! It's time for the big parade!
Lines intended for the Conductor summoning enemies of some kind. Most likely meant for summoning of the Owl Band.

Boom! Bam! Dang! Dang!
Lines intended for projectiles that fail to hit the player.

He shoots, he scores! Gotcha!
Lines for projectiles that hit their mark.

Hurrrgh... Hoo! Hoo! Ha! Ha! Hoo! Hurrr-agh! Ha! Hae! Ha! Hoo! Ha! Hoo! Hoo! Ha! Hyah!
Lines for when the Conductor brandishes a flurry of knives at you. In-game, he says nothing during the attack.

Ha! I bet that hurt!
A line for landing a knife attack against the player, judging by the filename.

Did I miss? Did I hit ya?
If the above line is for when he hits you with a knife, then these would be for when the Conductor misses with a knife attack.

M-my trophies! Nooooo! *grunts* Peckneeeck!
Alternate defeated lines. In the final game, he uses the same line each time he is defeated.

Start yer engines! Rev up those engines! We got a lass ta kill!
Lines for when he uses his Moon Car attack. He is silent in-game normally.

What? That detonator is stupid! That'll never work! Ha! DJ Peckneck knows nothin' about how MY explosives work!
Lines that appear to suggest that not only would the Conductor have acknowledged DJ Grooves's appearance after the bomb timer starts, but also would've called DJ Grooves out in his version of the boss fight when he appears to save Hat Kid.

And I can't believe it's yer uncle's sister!
An alternate take one of the lines at the start of Murder on the Owl Express.

Alright, everyone, ready? Let's take it from the top, then. Action!
A line intended for Dead Bird Studio.

2015 Lines

The remaining lines were recorded in 2015, when the chapter was still titled 'Trainwreck of Science', and featured a much different plot than the one in the final game. In summary, for context, the Conductor was an actual conductor and not a movie director at all. The Owl Express was called the Science Express, and was a real train and not a movie prop. The first two acts were Train Rush and then Murder on the Science Express. The last two acts took place on the moon, starting with Moon Stars and ending with an unnamed act that featured a boss fight of some kind within the club on the moon, the Club of 20 Grooves. From these lines, some details about specifics in the plot can be inferred, and some localization from the Beta builds actually match some of these lines.

Oh, you peckneck! What do ya think yer doin' ta me train?! Here I am, workin' all day ta keep this here train proper! And what do ye pecknecks do? Ye mess it up. I can't believe I have to deal with ya! Oooh, one o' these here days, I swear to ye, I'm gonna turn ye pecknecks into soup, feed ye to me train as fuel, since ye don't have any respect fer me train! Now leave the kid alone and stop screwin' around! Ye always screw around with me train, and I ain't takin' another day of it!
The speedy, auto-advancing text from the Beta builds, used at the end of Train Rush. Some lines were worded slightly differently. The second half of the first line below was used in the final game during the Conductor's boss fight.

outro0 = YA PECK-NECK! WHAT DO YA THINK YER DOIN' TO ME TRAIN?![br]I CAN'T BELIEVE I LET YER PECK NECKS ON ME TRAIN ONLY[br]TO HAVE YER BE THE TROUBLEMAKERS!
outro1 = HERE I AM, WORKING ALL DAY TO KEEP THIS HERE TRAIN PROPER![br]AND WHAT DO YER PECK-NECKS DO? MESS IT UP![br]I CAN'T BELIEVE I HAVE TO DEAL WITH YER!
outro2 = ONE THIS HERE DAYS, I SWEAR YER, I'M GONNA TURN YER PECK-NECKS INTO SOUP![br]FEED YER AS TRAIN FUEL, SINCE YER DON'T HAVE ANY RESPECT FOR ME TRAIN!
outro3 = NOW LEAVE THIS KID ALONE AND STOP SCREWING AROUND![br]YER ALWAYS SCREW AROUND WITH ME TRAIN AND I AIN'T TAKING ANOTHER DAY OF IT!

Next stop, Dead Bird's Station! And ain't yer askin' me later which station this be, 'cause I ain't sayin' it twice!
Intended for a cutscene preceding the following one. Localization for this exists in the Beta builds, albeit with some additional words added. Oddly, the voice clip is stored as a single file, while the localization is two separate dialogue bubbles:

next_station0 = NEXT STOP, [name]DEAD BIRD'S STATION[/name]!
next_station1 = AND AIN'T YA ASK ME LATER BECAUSE I AIN'T BE SAYING IT TWICE!

'Ey! Ye bench o' pecknecks over there! Ooh, show me them tickets, or yer not gettin' on board! OK then. Get on board, get on board. And hurry, 'cause we're leavin'!
Lines for the original cutscene planned for meeting the crow agents before Murder on the Science Express took place. What changes the Conductor's mind about letting them onboard is them showing a badge, informing him of their status as detectives. It also had a ticket attached to it, so there's that, too. The model for this, as well as animations for it, can still be found in the Modding Tools.

None of the remaining lines have any localization in any known build.

Oh, can ye believe these birds? [chuckles] Ye better not pull the same kind o' trick, kid.
A line most likely intended for the end of Train Rush, foreshadowing what Hat Kid would've apparently had to do to get the train to the Moon.

If me train explodes... ohhh... I swear on me mum, yer gonna get it!
Likely intended for an interaction before Hat Kid does exactly what the Conductor is warning about here. It seems that in order to reach the Moon, Hat Kid would've detonated the train in some way. This can be supported by prerelease screenshots, footage, and outdated cubemaps in the final game showing the Conductor's train crashed into a building on the Moon. Some of the remaining lines concrete this theory.

No, Bettsy!
Likely intended to be the Conductor's first line after crashing into the moon. He also apparently named his train, as he calls it "Bettsy".

Me train! What have ye done?! I shouldn't 'ave let troublemakers like YOU on me train! I can't believe it! I look away for ONE SECOND!
Most likely meant to follow the previous line.

Kid... what have ye done? Yer can't mess about in me train, let alone DETONATE IT!
You could probably talk to him directly after the crash, as he is definitely addressing Hat Kid directly here.

Oh. Well, I-- I hope I'm not next in line. I'll see where the others go, and once ye go in... yer not comin' back. I've been standin' in line for hours! Yer never gonna get in before they close, kid.
These lines are likely intended for the Club of 20 Grooves.

Well... me train is in ruins, and all the owls are headin' to this here club. *hic* Well... no point in bein' thirsty while I'm on the moon. 'Nother round, boys!
The Conductor has entered the bar, judging from this line. There are no animations in the final game of the Conductor drinking, but the concept was revisited in full force for The Arctic Cruise.

Ah, you can do it, lass! Yer can do it!
These lines have the Conductor cheering on Hat Kid, and were probably intended to be used during the aforementioned boss fight that would've taken place in the bar.

Oi! Go in there and show her who's boss, and MAYBE I'll forgive ye for what ye did to me train.
This line is most likely referring to an encounter with Mustache Girl on the moon. In Alpha builds, there was localization for the Conductor with a different kind of interaction. Although this line doesn't match any of the localization, it is similar. Either way, it has no use in the Beta and it's not in the final game. Mustache Girl isn't even referenced on the chapter's main levels, and only appears in a cameo in Dead Bird Basement.
