Express Owls

This is a sub-page of A Hat in Time (Windows, Mac OS X)/Modding Tools Content/Unused Voices.

The Express Owls have a sizeable amount of unused lines, implying that they were going to get more screen time in levels. A shame that they didn't, honestly.

Hoota. Hoooooo! Hoo-ray! Hoo! Hoo! Woohoo! Hoo-ta. Hoo. Hooooo.

Unused mumble lines.

That angry l-little girl needs to g-get lost! G-get lost! Get lost! Get lost! G-get lost!

Lines for Express Owls in the final boss cutscene, in which they do not appear.

I r-really hope that angry little girl gives me mercy. Otherwise, if I don't s-show up to work today, I'm gonna be roast dinner. Y-you know, y-you should go inside the castle and g-give that red-hooded girl a piece of our m-mind. We don't care for her. S-she should get lost. I don't r-really know why we've just accepted the fact that t-this is how things are. That red-hooded little girl n-needs to get lost, so we can get back on our train. M-my bird senses are really freaking out right know. I don't k-know what's going on inside that castle, but it sounds really bad!

Lines for Express Owls waiting in line at the start of the finale.

That was great! Amazing! Fantastic! I loved it! Incredible! Marvelous! Wow! Woo-hoo! Well done! I loved the protagonist.

Lines for the Express Owls being impressed or happy about something. Might've been intended for the little movie status scene that appears at the end of acts 2, 3, 4, and 5 in Chapter 2.

But... I can't stop thinking about the awkward thing I said several years ago. I mean... what if I hadn't said something awkward, y'know? My life would have been totally different. Maybe.

Relatable. Probably intended for the one Express Owl standing in front of the receptionist in Dead Bird Studio.

I hope they don't burn the food. I'm not a chef, but I'm pretty sure that's not a normal amount of fire.

A line for an Express Owl in The Arctic Cruise, commenting on the state of the kitchen. Unused localization exists for this in the final game.

Anyone there? Hello? Who are you?! Who's that?! Huh? Y-you intruder!

Lines for Express Owl guards. Seems there were originally lines for catching and almost catching the player.

I-is there a b-bomb on this train?!

A line that should've been used in the initial release for one of the Express Owls during Train Rush, but instead, a line was recorded later and used instead in the current version of the game, leaving this line unused.

The Conductor's grandkids are a bit of a handful, huh? I'm glad it isn't my job to keep an eye on them.

Another line for The Arctic Cruise. The localization for this line is still in the final game.

Too much water.

This Express Owl clearly played Gen 3. Funnily enough, Express Owls were made out to like water in The Arctic Cruise, so this line wouldn't have made sense anymore.

Go, Conductor! You can do it, Conductor!

Express Owls cheering on the Conductor. Possibly intended for fighting him in the basement, or during the final boss.

W-we've got eyes everywhere, and we saw nothing!

A voiced version of the line that appears when you hover over the Express Owls as the murderers in Murder on the Owl Express. None of the lines that appear when selecting a murderer are voiced in-game.

Aaaagh!

A line intended for use in the finale somewhere, as there's still localization for it in the final game. This was recorded after the release of the game.

Gimme your back-of-the-line ticket!

An alternate take of the line the one Express Owl says while traversing Mustache Girl's Castle before he begins attacking you. This was also recorded after the release of the game.

This is a bird-only zone, madam. I'm an Express Owl. And I'm required to tell you. Otherwise, the conductor will kick me off. He's really into the idea that we're... uh... his minions or something. I really don't care for it. I just need to take the train to work. I bet the Conductor doesn't even know my name.
