Pete was holding a meeting in the train yard. Everyone was there, even Nikki, and Meadow, because they arrived in a train delivering fuel to the Union Pacific.

Pete: Alright. I know our fuel supply has been very low, but today, that's all going to change. The Southern Pacific has sent a train over to us, that has *Counts the cars on Nikki's train* Fifteen? *Whispers to Nikki* I thought toi a dit there would be twenty five tank cars carrying fuel on your train.
Nikki: Sorry, but we're short on fuel as well.
Pete: That still isn't enough.
Wilson: Uh sir? What is it toi wanted to tell us?
Pete: Right. *Clears his throat* The Southern Pacific sent us fifteen tank cars, loaded with fuel.
Gordon: How much did toi have to pay for all that?
Pete: $230,000.
Mirage: That's close to the price of a new railway locomotive.
Hawkeye: ou one hundred, and thirty station wagons.
Pete: I know it was expensive, but we had to get the fuel, one way, ou another. Back to work.

As the ponies went back to work, Nikki, and Meadow stayed where they were so Pete could talk to them.

Pete: Is your boss on the phone par any chance?
Nikki: *Nods*

Later, in Pete's office.

Pete: *On the phone, talking to Michael* HOW COULD toi DO THIS TO ME?!!? After all the shit we went through two decades ago, toi screwed me over!!
Michael: If toi don't like the price, toi can send the fuel back.
Pete: Mike, I already told you, we're low on fuel. I'm okay with the ammount toi sent me, but the price? That's ridiculous.
Michael: What can I say? Fuel is expensive, and toi had a lot of it being shipped from my railway to yours.
Pete: HOW CAN A LIQUID THAT GOES INTO A MACHINE BE EXPENSIVE?
Hawkeye: *Enters Pete's office* We have a problem.
Pete: Mike, we'll settle this later. I gotta go. *Hangs up* What's the matter Pierce?
Hawkeye: Orion.

Orion found a new way to try, and get fired. He had a red jerry can, and in it, was a clear liquid. He poured it all over himself, and everypony was worried.

Pete: Orion, what are toi doing?
Orion: If toi don't feu me, I'm gonna burn myself.
Hawkeye: Wait a second, do toi even have anything to set yourself on fire?
Orion: Uh, no I don't.
Pete: Come into my office, I got matches toi can light up.

They went inside the train station, and Hawkeye looked inside Orion's Jerry can.

Hawkeye: It's just water. *Runs away, and then returns*
Orion: *Comes back from the station*
Pete: Okay, once toi get the gas all over you, I'll light up a match, and throw it on you.
Orion: Thank toi sir. *Pours gas on himself* Who put gasoline in my gasoline?!
Pete: Just a scam, huh? toi weren't really gonna light yourself on fire. toi wanted us to think that, so we could feu you, huh?
Orion: Uh?
Pete: Get back to work Orion.
Orion: Yes sir. *Walks away*
Hawkeye: *Walks up to Pete* Whatever will he think of next?
Pete: He might go back to wearing dresses.
Hawkeye: I hope not.
