* NobodyLikesATattletale: Devious Diesel is brought to Brendam Docks to help Duck and Percy out with the extra work. However, given Diesel's reputation as a troublemaker, Duck and Percy are naturally wary of him. At one point, Diesel bumps into a line of trucks so hard that he spills their loads all over the dockyard. When Percy and Duck see this, they say they know Sir Topham Hatt won't like it. Diesel overhears them and asks them, "So who's going to tell him, I wonder? Two goody-goody tattletales like you, I suppose?" Not wanting to be called tattletales, Percy and Duck say nothing.
