Ha, he's like a little cartoon character, isn't he? Like a mascot for a dump or something.

[Those words might sound a little harsh if they weren't being spoken with what sounds like some of the purest affection this side of Steve Irwin talking about a poisonous snake. And, in fairness, the Trubbish being shown on-screen would make an excellent waste-disposal mascot and does look more than a little cartoony.]

[Not the least because it's eating a small pile of what looks like actual discarded wrappers and things. With a few berries and PokeBlocks mixed in.]

Flayn and I are passing through Goldenrod City, and I found this guy stealing a bunch of our garbage. At first I thought he was really hungry and desperate-? And- I mean, he was, but I figured he was eating garbage cause he couldn't find anything else. But I guess that's what he actually likes!

[The Trubbish looks up for a second and waves at the camera cheerfully before continuing its slightly nauseating tuck-in.]

Kinda reminds me of home, a little.

[He is not elaborating on that, sorry.]

Oh, and- uh.

[The camera turns to face Steven, finally.]

I'm not exactly sure what Valentine's Day is? But the decorations that are up everywhere look really nice.

[The camera is focused on a little purple bird who's currently doing a fan dance as someone off to the side strums on a guitar and sings:]

Bright sunny day don't cost nothing
Light winter breeze don't cost nothing
What do I do with all this money?
When the only thing I want is you

[Slowly the camera pans to show Greg as the mysterious guitarist, with a floating rock and a green jellyfish ghost on either side of him bobbing along to the music, before panning back to the little purple bird again.]

Palling around don't cost nothing
Singing a song don't cost nothing
How do I spend all this money?
I'd rather just spend time with you

[The strumming continues even if the singing doesn't--which means the little bird keeps moving even as offscreen Greg says,]

I've been calling him Tiny Dancer. The little guy flew down when I was playing my new guitar in Lavender Town and started dancing, just like that. He's been hanging around ever since.
