This is embarrassing.
I forgot to ask you your name.
Thomas: Uh...
Marion: You should always introduce yourself.
It's only polite.
That's what I've always been told anyway.
Thomas: Uh...
Marion: Shall I go first?
Let me introduce myself.
I'm Marion and you are?
Thomas: Thomas!
Percy: Aren't you afraid of monsters?
Gator: Monsters? What monsters?
Monsters would probably be afraid of me.
Percy: Wow. You're brave, Gator.
I wish I was as brave as you are.
Gator: You might be braver than you think, Percy.
I wasn't always as brave as I am now.
I'm designed to work in the high mountains, Percy.
That's why my water tanks had a special shape.
But just because you're designed for something
doesn't mean you can't be afraid of it.
And it was a shock for me to find out
that I was afraid of heights.
One day, I was faced with having to cross a high bridge
higher than any bridge I'd ever seen before
but I was pulling trucks, loaded with important supplies.
The villagers needed my help.
I decided, I must be brave!
It took everything in me to cross that bridge
but I did it, even though I was scared.
So, you see, being brave isn't the same as not feeling scared.
Being brave is about what you do
even when you do feel scared.

You can't always do the jobs you like, you know.
- Fat Controller
Edward: There's no such thing as monsters.
Henry: Edward is right.
No such thing.
Never was and never will be.
None of you believed me.
and you're right, I was scared
but I know what I saw.
- Percy
Percy: It's good to have a new friend on the island, Gator.
I'm really glad you're not going away.
Gator: But Percy, I am going away.
Friends believe each other.
- Percy
Maybe I should go to a far away land
and make new friends, like Gator.
- Percy
Running away from your problems is not very brave, Percy.
- Gator
Gator: Oh, Percy! I didn't think you would going to make it.
Percy: Neither did I.
But I wanted to say good bye and to thank you.
Gator: Thank me? For what?
Percy: For being such a good friend.
And for helping me learn that I could be brave.
Gator: You helped me too, Percy.
Having seen how brave you've been,
well, I think I'm ready for the highest of high bridges now.
But I'll miss you.
Percy: I'll miss you too. Have a safe journey.
Gator: I will. Good bye, Percy!
Percy: Good bye, Gator!
I guess you have to be brave to say good bye to someone, too.
- Percy
