Transcript
Ringo Starr UK version
- Percy: Do you know what?
- Ringo Starr: Asked Percy.
- Gordon: What?
- Ringo Starr: Grunted Gordon.
- Percy: Do you know what?
- Gordon: Silly!
- Ringo Starr: Said Gordon.
- Gordon: Of course I don't know what. If you don't tell me what what is.
- Percy: The Fat Controller says that the work in the yard is too heavy for me. He's getting a bigger engine to help me.
- James: RABBISH!
- Ringo Starr: Said James.
- James: Any engine could do it. If you work hard and chatter-less, this yard would be a sweeter, a better and a happier place.
- Ringo Starr: Percy went off to get some coaches.
- Percy: That stupid old signal.
- Ringo Starr: 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.
- Ringo Starr: But he didn't know how. By the end of the afternoon, he felt tired and unhappy. He brought some coaches to the station.
- The Fat Controller: Hello, Percy.
- Ringo Starr: Said The Fat Controller.
- The Fat Controller: You look tired.
- Percy: Yes sir, I am sir. I don't know if I'm standing on my dome or on my wheels.
- The Fat Controller: You look the right way up to me.
- Ringo Starr: Laughed The Fat Controller.
- The Fat Controller: 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.
- Percy: Oh yes, sir. Thank you, sir.
- Ringo Starr: The new engine arrived.
- The Fat Controller: What's your name?
- Ringo Starr: Asked The Fat Controller.
- 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.
- The Fat Controller: Good. Duck it shall be. Here, Percy, show Duck around.
- Ringo Starr: The 2 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!
- Ringo Starr: 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.
- Ringo Starr: Answered Percy.
- Duck: Right.
- Ringo Starr: Said Duck.
- Duck: We'll soon stop that nonsense.
- Ringo Starr: He whispered something.
- Duck: We'll do it later.
- Ringo Starr: The Fat Controller was looking forward to hot buttered toast for tea at home. Suddenly, he heard an extraordinary noise.
- Henry, Gordon and James: Wheesh! (snorting noises)
- The Fat Controller: Bother!
- Ringo Starr: 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)
- The Fat Controller: Stop that noise!
- Ringo Starr: Bellowed The Fat Controller.
- Gordon: They won't let us in!
- Ringo Starr: Hissed Gordon.
- The Fat Controller: 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)
- The Fat Controller: SILENCE!
- Ringo Starr: Snapped The Fat Controller.
- The Fat Controller : Percy and Duck, I am pleased with your work today, but not with your behavior tonight. You have caused a disturbance.
- Ringo Starr: Gordon, Henry and James sniggered.
- The Fat Controller: As for you.
- Ringo Starr: Thundered The Fat Controller.
- The Fat Controller: You've been worse. You made a disturbance. Duck is quite right. This is my railway and I give the orders.
- Ringo Starr: After Percy went away, Duck was left to manage alone. He did so...easily!

- 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!
