[ Wheels clacking ]
There it is.
The end of the train. Wrong, kitten.
The beginning of the train.
¶¶
Ooh, the Engine has a splinter.
Amelia's building more train cars?
The train is never finished, kitten.
Do we have to go through the new car to get there?
You will have to go through the new car,
for this where I bid you adieu.
What? No! Stay!
Tut tut. I've held up my end of the bargain.
I gave you a lift for free, which was very generous of me.
Well, I-I guess...
goodbye...
Cat.
Uh, is it "Cat"?
The Cat.
Well, thank you for doing the right thing.
I always do the right thing.

[ Engine whirring ]

[ Sighs ]
[ Growling ]
¶¶
Glad-One: Is Evil Atticus hungry?
He's not evil!
Sad-One: Uh, nature versus nurture.
[ Grunting ]
¶¶
Hmm.
Glad-One: Do you think my mum is in there?
I don't know, buddy.
I want you to stay in my backpack, okay?
[ Snarling ]
¶¶
Hey, Amelia!
Loved your movie. Get out!
You'll damage the new car!
You're at zero!
You got your exit.
What are you still doing on the train, you little monster?
I'm here to make a trade.
I get Atticus back, and you...
get your tape.
[ Gasps ]
[ Panting ]
Where's that cannon?
Huh?
[ Alarm blaring ]
[ Crackling ]
¶¶
Huh?
Glad-One: Ooh, you found the monster cannon.
Sad-One: Now we can make more. Give it.
No, we're here to un-make monsters.
Ugh. Which one will change Atticus back?
Glad-One: None of these are corgis, silly.
Huh?
¶¶
Uh. You insensitive --
How dare you force me to relive those memories!
Just returning the favor, lady.
If you don't take your exit now,
I'll send it so far down the train,
you'll die of old age before you see it again.
I'm not leaving until Atticus is back to normal.
And I thought you were smart.
[ Beep ]
[ Chugging ]
[ Gasps ]
Wha! Huh?
¶¶
Huh?
[ Grunts ]
[ Snarling ]
I'm going after the cannon.
I need you to look for a way to stop the Steward
or stop the train or something.
Sad-One: End it all. Got it.
That's not what I -- ugh!
¶¶
[ Panting ]
¶¶
Unbelievable. Again with the turtles.
You built that weird car with the turtles in it!
And this is your college campus.
You're trying to make a car of your old life.
Of course I am!
You keep a pipe in your backpack?
It's a Donut Holer!
¶¶
Glad-One: ¶ Looking for a way to stop the Steward ¶
¶ Stop the Steward, stop the Steward ¶
¶ Looking for a way to stop the Steward ¶
¶ so we can turn Evil Atticus back to a dog ¶
Sad-One: Ugh, too many syllables.
[ Grunts ]
You can't just make whatever car you want.
Why not?
I'm just trying to create a car with Alrick in it.
What if you could create a car, Tulip?
One where your parents are still together.
But... then they wouldn't be my real parents.
It wouldn't be my real life.
They weren't... happy together.
I could make you a car where they are.
I can make a car that's exactly how you want it to be.
Just one big, happy family.
¶¶
You can't even make a car without any turtles in it!
¶¶
[ Gasps ]
Stop! You'll destroy everything!
¶¶
A corgi orb.
¶¶
Argh!
¶¶
I've just been trying to keep One at bay.
One what? [ Gasps ]
One-One!
[ Blasting ]
¶¶
Mum.
You foolish girl!
This was never about you!
Well, you made it about me when you attacked my friends!
Gotcha!
Unh!
Uh!
[ Weapon charges, fires ]
Argh!
[ Screeches ]
[ Blasting ]
¶¶
[ Exhales calmly ]
[ Fires ]
[ Thwack, whimpering ]
No! Oh, my.
No dog and no parents?
Who will you lose next?
Glad-One: Upsy daisy.
Whoop!
No!
Unh!
[ Powering down ]
[ Beeping ]
¶¶
[ Beeping ]
¶¶
Atticus!
Unh!
[ Gurgling ]
[ Birds singing ]
[ Whirring ]
Unh!
[ Mechanical hissing ]
Aah!
[ Grunting ]
¶¶
Oof!
¶¶
[ Groaning ]
Tulip!
Atticus!
Hey!
Oh, scratchy, scratchy!
[ Laughing ]
¶¶
[ Gasps ]
Thank you. I was feeling rather exposed without it.
Sad-One: Hello. I'd like to introduce you to my mother.
Glad-One: Isn't she pretty?
She's got a real heft to her.
One-One, you're the real conductor?
Uh, you've just been trying to get back to the Engine?
Glad-One: Yeah. It's a little weird, huh?
You ripped One-One out of the control panel!
He had all that power and he refused to make a car for me.
You can't keep trying to recreate your old life.
You have to learn how to live in this one.
Don't you get it?
I don't want a life without Alrick.
[ Sobbing ]
There's a hole in the Universe where Alrick used to be.
Why won't the train just let me put him back?
I'm really sorry about your husband, Amelia.
I don't know what it's like to lose someone you love.
But, I-I do know that neither of us can go back
to the way things were.
We have to adapt to the changes in our lives.
It's the only way things can get better.
It doesn't matter.
I'll be on the train forever.
Numbers don't just go down. They also go up.
Y-You can still try to get your number to zero,
no matter how many mistakes you've made.
What about getting rid of your exit car?
There's no coming back from that.
Glad-One: Hello! Mum and I can fix that.
[ Screeching ]
¶¶
Wha?
¶¶
What in the name of Mustard and Stink Tail is that?
Sad-One: An exit can appear in any car.
It's just a matter of unlocking one.
Glad-One: And zero is the key!
I'm very uncomfortable with how much I've missed.
I'm not stuck on the train anymore?
But now I have to leave you two.
I-I wasn't ready for it to happen
all of a sudden like this.
You a-and this and -- and I --
it was -- and Atticus, and now --
Glad-One: Me, too.
Atticus: Though my heart is heavy,
I am honored to carry the weight,
for it will remind me of you.
I'll miss you.
Glad-One: Okay.
Wait, wait. Hug.
Hug first.
[ Laughs ]
Come here! Group hug!
[ All laughing ]
¶¶
Goodbye, Amelia.
I hope you get your exit someday.
Hm.
¶¶
I love you guys.
¶¶
Tulip! Your dad is here to pick you up for camp!
Coming!
Hey, Dad! Hey, you.
Have a great time.
Call me when you get settled in?
I will. I'll get her there safe.
¶¶
So, bud, you ready?
I'm ready for anything.
