Ugh. What does the Professor want now?
Beats me. But every second he sits there talking to Luigi about his inventions, research and whatnot is a second lost!
The guy needs to get his priorities straight, and pronto.
Amen.
Hey—if not for him, then Luigi wouldn't have learned how to catch ghosts in the first place, so show him a little respect, all right?
Fine. But he doesn't seem too concerned about us right now.
Don't push it. I think he just needs time to comprehend what's going on.
Whatever you say, Mario...
...
"Finally, you're back!" said Gadd when Luigi walked in, trailed by Gooigi and Polterpup. "You shouldn't keep an old man waiting, you know." However, he was smiling warmly.
"Hey, Professor," said Luigi. "What's this about?"
"I've been busy down here," said Gadd. "The lab is almost fully operational. And by the way—you must be getting pretty good at exploring the hotel! Have you been sucking up stuff with the Poltergust G-00?"
"Indeed," replied Luigi.
"And you've been collecting some gold and dollar bills, correct?"
"I have."
"Well—waste not, I say! I'm proud to announce that my Shopping Network is now open for business!"
Gadd directed Luigi's attention to an area of the lab with a shopping cart icon on it.
"You have a shop inside of a lab?" asked Gooigi.
Gadd nodded. "I've stocked some rather useful items, along with a few snacks, and they're all yours—for a modest fee. To celebrate the Shop's grand opening, I'm offering you a free Gold Bone."
At the mention of his favorite treat, Polterpup woofed happily.
"I'll take it," said Luigi.
Gadd handed Luigi the Gold Bone, who in turn gave it to Polterpup, who gnawed on it happily.
"I also have another matter to address while you're in here," said Gadd.
"What's that?" asked Luigi as he gave Polterpup some belly rubs.
"Could you turn around for a moment? I need to adjust the Poltergust. And Gooigi—I'll need you to hop into your tank for a sec."
Both ghost hunters obliged, Luigi whistling softly as Gadd fiddled around with his ghost vacuum.
"Okay, I'm done!" Gadd said brightly. "I just added a new feature!"
"What is it?" asked Luigi.
"My research indicates that Boos are hiding out in this hotel," explained Gadd. "I just added a feature to help you track them down."
Luigi's blood chilled at the mention of those sadistic little bedsheet ghosts. "How come they haven't attacked me yet?" he asked.
"It's probably a Boo thing," shrugged Gadd.
"How does this feature work?"
"I'll explain later," said Gadd. "Now get back out there and keep exploring the hotel!"
