Transcript

• (We open this episode with the Britt Allcroft Presents logo)
• (Then we see the Thomas and Friends Season 6 intro)
• (After that, we begin the character introduction)
• Alec Baldwin: It's Thomas: number one engine who works with Sir Topham Hatt. Percy is very happy and he is really reliable. James is a magnificent engine. Gordon is the most famous engine on the Island of Sodor. Here's Henry: the number three green engine. Edward always here to help the other engines. And don't forget Sir Topham Hatt. He's in charge of the whole railway.
• (A passing by sequence occurs and we begin Double Trouble)
• George Carlin: It was a beautiful morning on the Island of Sodor. Thomas the Tank Engine's blue paint sparkled in a sunshine as he puffed happily along his branch line with Annie and Clarabel. He was feeling very pleased with himself.
• Percy: Hello, Thomas
• George Carlin: Whistled Percy.
• Percy: You look splendid.
• Thomas: Yes indeed.
• George Carlin: Boasted Thomas.
• Thomas: Blue is the only proper color for an engine.
• Toby: Oh, I don't know. I like my brown paint.
• George Carlin: Said Toby.
• Percy: I've always been green. I wouldn't want to be any other color either.
• George Carlin: Added Percy.
• Thomas: Well, well, anyway.
• George Carlin: Huffed Thomas.
• Thomas: Blue is the only color for a really useful engine. Anyone knows that.
• George Carlin: Percy said no more. He just grinned at Toby. Later, Thomas was resting when Percy arrived. A large hopper was loading his freight cars full of coal. Thomas was still being cheeky.
• Thomas: Careful.
• George Carlin: He warned.
• Thomas: Watch out with those silly cars.
• Cars: Go on, go on!
• George Carlin: Muttered the cars.
• Thomas: And by the way.
• George Carlin: Went on Thomas.
• Thomas: Those buffers don't look really safe to me.
• George Carlin: The last load poured down.
• Thomas: Help, help!
• George Carlin: Cried Thomas.
• Thomas: Get me out!
• George Carlin: Percy was worried, but he couldn't help laughing. Thomas' smart blue paint was covered in coal dust from smokebox to bunker.
• Percy: Ha, ha!
• George Carlin: Chuckled Percy.
• Percy: You don't look really useful now, Thomas. You look really disgraceful.
• Thomas: I'm not disgraceful.
• George Carlin: Choked Thomas.
• Thomas: You did that on purpose. Get me out!
• George Carlin: It took so long to clean Thomas that he wasn't it time for his next train. Toby had to take Annie and Clarabel.
• Annie: Poor Thomas.
• George Carlin: Whispered Annie to Clarabel. They were most upset. Thomas was grumpy in the shed that night. Toby thought it made a great joke, but Percy was cross with Thomas for thinking he had made his paint dirty on purpose.
• Percy: Fancy a really useful blue engine like Thomas becoming a disgrace to Sir Topham Hatt's railway.
• George Carlin: Next day, Thomas was feeling more cheerful, as he watch Percy bring his cars from the junction. The cars were heavy and Percy was tired.
• Driver: Have a drink.
• George Carlin: Said his driver.
• Driver: Then you'll feel better.
• George Carlin: The water column stood at the end of the siding with the unsafe buffers. Suddenly, Percy found that he couldn't stop. The buffers didn't stop him either.
• Percy: Ooh!
• George Carlin: Wailed Percy.
• Percy: Help!
• (Percy falls into the deep coal)
• George Carlin: The buffers were broken and Percy was wheel deep in coal. It was time for Thomas to leave. He had seen everything.
• Thomas: Now Percy has learned his lesson too.
• George Carlin: He chuckled to himself. That night, the two engines made up their quarrel.
• Percy: I didn't cause your accident on purpose, Thomas.
• George Carlin: Whispered Percy.
• Percy: You do know that, don't you?
• Thomas: Of course.
• George Carlin: Replied Thomas.
• Thomas: And I'm sorry I teased you. Your green paint look splendid again too. In future, we're both be more careful of coal.
• (A passing by sequence occurs and we begin The Island Song)
• Children: (singing) Picture a land where the sky is so blue. A storybook land of wonder. A magical island just waiting for you. Island of Sodor will make your dreams come true. Imagine a place where the sun always smiles. The valleys are green as can be. The friends that you love are all waiting for you. Island of Sodor will make your dreams come true. Children follow the dream. To the land of make-believe. The Island of Sodor. A magical land where dreams come true.
• Girl: Follow the road that leads to a dream over the hills and mountains. Look for the skies with stars in their eyes.
• Children: (singing) Island of Sodor will make your dreams come true. Children follow the dream. To the land of make-believe. The Island of Sodor. A magical land where dreams come true. Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. The Island of Sodor. A magical land where dreams come true.
• (Another passing by sequence occurs and we begin Saved From Scrap)
• George Carlin: Sir Topham Hatt works his engines hard, but they are very proud when he calls them really useful.
• Edward: I'm going to the scrapyard today.
• George Carlin: Edward called to Thomas.
• Thomas: What? Already? You're not that old.
• George Carlin: Replied Thomas cheekily. Thomas was only teased him. The scrapyard was full of rusty old cars and machinery. They are broken into pieces, loaded into cars and Edward pulls them to the steelworks where they are melted down and used again. Today, there was a surprise waiting for Edward in the yard. It was a traction engine.
• Edward: Hello.
• George Carlin: Said Edward.
• Edward: You're not broken and rusty. What are you doing here?
• Trevor: I'm Trevor. They're going to break me up next week.
• Edward: What a shame.
• George Carlin: Said Edward.
• Trevor: My driver says I only need some paint, polish and oil to be as good as new, but my owner says I'm old fashioned.
• George Carlin: Edward snorted.
• Edward: People say I'm old fashioned, but I don't care. Sir Topham Hatt says I'm a useful engine. What work did you do?
• Trevor: My owner will send us from farm to farm. We threshed corn, hauled logs and did lots of other work. The children loved to see us.
• George Carlin: Trevor shut his eyes, remembering.
• Trevor: Oh, yes. I like children.
• George Carlin: Edward set off for the station.
• Edward: Broken up, what a shame. Broken up, what a shame. I must help Trevor, I must.
• George Carlin: He thought of all his friends who liked engines. But strangely none of them would have room for a traction engine at home.
• Edward: It's a shame, it's a shame.
• George Carlin: He hissed. Then...
• Edward: Peep! Peep! Why didn't I think of him before.
• George Carlin: There on the platform was the very person.
• Vicar: Hello, Edward. You look upset. What's the matter, Charlie?
• George Carlin: He asked the driver.
• Driver: There's a traction engine in the scrapyard, Vicar. He'll be broken up next week. Jem Cole says he never drove a better engine.
• Edward: Do save him, sir. He saws wood and gives children rides.
• Vicar: We'll see.
• George Carlin: Replied the Vicar. Jem Cole came on Saturday.
• Jem Cole: The reverend's comin to see you, Trevor. Maybe he'll buy you.
• Trevor: Do you think he will?
• George Carlin: Asked Trevor.
• Jem Cole: He will when I lit your fire and clean you up.
• George Carlin: The Vicar and his two boys arrived that evening. Trevor hadn't felt so happy for months. He chuffered about the yard.
• Vicar: Show your paces, Trevor.
• George Carlin: Said the Vicar. Later he came out of the office, smiling.
• Vicar: I've got him cheap, Jem, cheap.
• Jem Cole: Did ye hear that Trevor?
• George Carlin: Cried Jem.
• Jem Cole: The reverend's saved you and you'll live at the vicarage now.
• Trevor: Peep! Peep!
• George Carlin: Whistled Trevor. Now Trevor's home was in the Vicarage Orchard, and he sees Edward every day. His paint is spotless and his brass shines like gold. Trevor likes his work but his happiest day is the church fair. With a wooden seat bolted to his bunker, he chuffers round the orchard giving rides to children. Long afterwards, you will see him shut his eyes, remembering.
• Trevor: I like children.
• George Carlin: He whispers happily.
• (Another passing by sequence occurs and we begin Really Useful Engine)
• Children: (singing) He's a really useful engine you know. All the other engines they'll tell you so. He huffs and puffs and whistles, rushing to and fro. He's a really useful engine we adore! He's the one, he's the one. He's a really useful engine that we adore. He's the one. He's the number one, Thomas the Tank Engine. He's a really useful engine you know. Cause the Fat Controller, he told him so. Now he's got a branch line to call his very own. He's a really useful engine we adore! He's the one, he's the one. He's a really useful engine that we adore. He's the one. He's the number one, Thomas the Tank Engine. Little blue train, he's always there whenever you need a hand. If you need help with a situation who comes into mind. He's the one, he's the one. He's a really useful engine that we adore. He's the one. He's the number one, Thomas the Tank Engine. He's a really useful engine you know. Maybe little, but he's never slow. Stand back in amazement, just you watch him go. He's a really useful engine we adore! He's the one, he's the one. He's a really useful engine that we adore. He's the one. He's the number one, Thomas the Tank Engine. He's the really useful engine we adore!

• Percy: Do you know what?
• George Carlin: Asked Percy.
• Gordon: What?
• George Carlin: Grunted Gordon.
• Percy: Do you know what?
• Gordon: Silly!
• George Carlin: Said Gordon.
• Gordon: Of course I don't know what. If you don't tell me what what is.
• Percy: Sir Topham Hatt says that the work in the yard is too heavy for me. He's getting a bigger engine to help me.
• James: Rubbish!
• George Carlin: Said James.
• James: Any engine could do it. If you work hard and chatterless, this yard would be a sweeter, a better and a happier place.
• George Carlin: Percy went off to get some coaches.
• Percy: That stupid old signal.
• George Carlin: He thought. He was remembering the time he misunderstood a signal and gone backwards instead of forwards.
• Percy: No one listens to me now. They think I'm a silly little engine and order me about. I'll show them, I'll show them.
• George Carlin: But he didn't know how. By the end of the afternoon, he felt tired and unhappy. He brought some coaches to the station.
• Sir Topham Hatt: Hello, Percy.
• George Carlin: Said Sir Topham Hatt.
• Sir Topham Hatt: You look tired.
• Percy: Yes sir, I am sir. I don't know if I'm standing on my dome or on my wheels.
• Sir Topham Hatt: You look the right way up to me.
• George Carlin: Laughed Sir Topham Hatt.
• Sir Topham Hatt: Cheer up. The new engine is bigger than you and can properly do the work alone. Would you like to help build my new harbour? Thomas and Toby will help too.
• Percy: Oh yes, sir. Thank you, sir.
• George Carlin: The new engine arrived.
• Sir Topham Hatt: What's your name?
• George Carlin: Asked Sir Topham Hatt.
• Duck: Montague, sir, but I'm usually called Duck. They say I waddle. I don't really, sir, but I like Duck better than Montague.
• Sir Topham Hatt: Good. Duck it shall be. Here, Percy, show Duck around.
• George Carlin: The two engines went off together. Soon they were very busy. James, Gordon and Henry watched Duck quietly doing his work.
• Henry: He seems a simple sort of engine.
• James: We'll have some fun and order him about.
• Henry, Gordon, James: (quacking noises) Wheesh!
• George Carlin: Smoke billowed everywhere. Percy was cross, but Duck took no notice.
• Duck: They'll get tired of it soon. Do they tell you to do things, Percy?
• Percy: Yes they do.
• George Carlin: Answered Percy.
• Duck: Right.
• George Carlin: Said Duck.
• Duck: We'll soon stop that nonsense.
• George Carlin: He whispered something.
• Duck: We'll do it later.
• George Carlin: Sir Topham Hatt was looking forward to hot buttered toast for tea at home. Suddenly, he heard an extraordinary noise.
• Henry, Gordon and James: Wheesh! (snorting noises)
• Sir Topham Hatt: Bother!
• George Carlin: He said and hurried to the yard. Duck and Percy calmly sat on the switches outside the shed, refusing to let the engines in. Gordon, James and Henry were furious.
• (Gordon, James and Henry blew their whistles loudly)
• Sir Topham Hatt: Stop that noise!
• George Carlin: Bellowed Sir Topham Hatt.
• Gordon: They won't let us in!
• George Carlin: Hissed Gordon.
• Sir Topham Hatt: Duck, explain this behavior.
• Duck: Beg pardon, sir, but I'm a great western engine. We do our work without fuss, but begging your pardon, sir. Percy and I will be glad if you like to inform these, um, engines that we only take orders from you.
• (James and Gordon blew their whistles loudly)
• Sir Topham Hatt: Quiet!
• George Carlin: Said Sir Topham Hatt.
• Sir Topham Hatt: Percy and Duck, I am pleased with your work today, but not with your behavior tonight. You have caused a disturbance.
• George Carlin: Gordon, Henry and James sniggered.
• Sir Topham Hatt: As for you.
• George Carlin: Thundered Sir Topham Hatt.
• Sir Topham Hatt: You've been worse. You made a disturbance. Duck is quite right. This is my railway and I give the orders.
• George Carlin: After Percy went away, Duck was left to manage alone. He did so...easily!
• (Another passing by sequence occurs and we begin Gone Fishing)
• Children: (singing) Sometimes it's nice to take some time out. Do what you really want to do. Just to relax and let the world fly by you. Forget your worry, no need to hurry. Just leave a sign to say... Gone fishing, gone fishing. It's a sunny old day and you're on your way, Gone fishing. Gone fishing, Gone fishing. It's a sunny old day and you're on your way. Why don't we all go fishing? You drop your line down to the river, Waiting to see what you can find. Whatever life has to offer you. You know you'll take it, stand up and face it, Smiling along the way. Gone fishing, gone fishing. It's a sunny old day and you're on your way, Gone fishing. Gone fishing, Gone fishing. It's a sunny old day and you're on your way. Why don't we all go fishing? There's nothing better on a sunny day, When all your work is done. Throw down your line, settle down. Surprise, surprise, look what you've found. Gone fishing, gone fishing. It's a sunny old day and you're on your way, Gone fishing. Gone fishing, Gone fishing. It's a sunny old day and you're on your way. Why don't we all go fishing? It's a sunny old day and you're on your way... Gone fishing!
