Quotes

Hey, buddy. You gotta get your shit together. You're not dreaming, you're dying.
— Dream Till to Layton
I made it up.
— Layton realizes the truth about his vision
What if, I was so desperate to give everyone a future that I made one up? I can't lead this train if all I have is a lie.
— Layton's faith in himself is shaken
Wilford: "After our trains separated, I followed your trail, trying to guess intentions, near-term destinations versus long-term trajectory. I couldn't catch you, I had to intercept. See?"
Alex: "Whoa, ok."
Wilford: "So, about three months in, I -- I thought I caught a break -- a track switch signal near Marseilles. We followed it there but found no sign of you."
Alex: "Well, yeah, because that was the wrong continent. We were nowhere near France."
Wilford: "So the question is, if it wasn't you, who was it?"
Alex: "A signal error?"
Wilford: "No, I don't think it was a malfunction, Alex. I believe it was your mother. That Melanie is alive."
―  Wilford comes to a startling conclusion
