Final

Eh? Who's there? Huh? Huh?! Hmm. Hmm? What the what?! Must've been the wind. Who's that?

Lines for the guards in Dead Bird Studio. They apparently had voice clips for catching and almost catching the player.

Come and get it! Bonus points! Bona. Bonus points over here! Feeling low? Come here! Come and get some refreshments! Refreshments over here! Refreshments! Get your refreshments!

The penguins talking about offering "bonus points" and "refreshments". These are likely referring to the penguins tossing out DJ Grooves tokens and Health Pons during The Big Parade. In the final game, they are completely silent during that act.

Here you go. Take it easy, will ya? Enjoy.

And the lines they'd say when they throw their item to you.

Hey, diva! Over here! Hi, diva. (gasps) Is that the diva over there? Say hello, diva. She's amazing! Sign my poster. So kind in person. So stunning. Thank you! Wow! Is that the diva?

Penguins reacting to seeing the player, and gushing over them. Likely intended for Picture Perfect. All Penguins in that act are silent except for the ones that take your picture.

Hey. Thanks, kid. This one's DEFINITELY going into the photo album. Pic! Pic! Whassup, diva? Lemme take a pic. Yo, diva. Stand still and let me take a picture. Voila.

Additional lines for the picture takers in Picture Perfect.

We did it! Well done, well done. Wow! Yaaaay! Yaaaaa-hoo-hoo-hoo! Yo! Awesome! Hooray!

The Penguins cheering, possibly intended to be used at the Award Ceremony if DJ Grooves was confirmed the winner.

(shivers) I almost froze my feathers off trying to take a dip earlier.

A line for the Arctic Cruise. In the final, it's an Express Owl that says this.

(groans) The service here is terrible, kid. I'd pick somewhere else to eat if I were you.

A penguin complaining about the kitchen on board the SS Literally Can't Sink. This has localization for it.

I can't see peck with these sunglasses on.

Maybe try taking them off?

Get lost!

A different take of the "Get lost!" line from the cutscene before the final boss.

Get outta here, dude.

Might also be related to the final boss.

I got my ticket. When it's my turn, I'll give that little red girl a piece of my mind! That girl in the castle--she can get lost. Why do we have to stand in line to be judged? What does that even mean?

Lines for Penguins waiting in line at the start of finale.

That angry red girl can get lost. This is our world, right?

Another line intended for the finale, albeit a bit vague on whether it was intended for the final boss cutscene or the start of the level.

Yeah! Get lost!

Strangely, this wasn't used in the initial release of the game, leaving the penguin's dialogue during the final boss cutscene voiceless. Even stranger than that, a new voice line was recorded for that line in the cutscene, leaving this one still unused.

Old

In earlier versions of the Modding Tools, the lines for the Moon Penguins when they were voiced by John Jafari were present, but they've long since been removed. Some of the lines that can be found in its package were used in the Alpha and Beta builds, but many of them were never heard before, and give insight on the original plot planned for the Moon during Trainwreck of Science's development.

You know, we rarely see strangers around these parts. We're a bit of a closed community, if you catch my drift. You're here for any trouble, are you? Good. Now, you don't get in anyone's way. We don't let just anyone snoop around, alright? You may have a pretty face, but you ain't got no suit.

These four lines were used in the Alpha and Beta builds.

I said get lost! No suit, no entry. You can't come in here. You're a tourist! And you ain't got no suit. Take your little dress somewhere else, 'cause you ain't coming in here.

The player would apparently have to obtain a suit to enter a club. The name of the club can actually be found in the localization for the Beta builds. It was called the 'Club of 20 Grooves'.

You. You're after my suit? The hell you're not! It's my cousin's!

The player could've apparently gone after some Penguin's suit. This also would've been the only voiced line in the game to contain a swear word, albeit one of the most mild ones.

Hey, hey, hey!

Hey! Watch where you're stepping, lady!

The heck?

Hey! What's the big idea?

I can't enter the club with no wet suit. I gotta get this mess cleaned up.

This suit's worth a fortune! Tourists, I tell ya. All jerks.

Apparently the player could make a penguin's suit dirty. A theory could be that this would be the Penguin standing guard in front of the club, and Hat Kid could get him to move away from the entrance, allowing her to slip inside.

Where'd my suit go?

The player might've also been able to steal a suit.

Hey, uh, check this out. It's amazing. You're gonna love it.

Ha ha! I win!

And now I'm all the way over here!

Purpose unknown.
