Transcript[]
Narrator: "Sonic the Hedgehog had been working in the coal yards all day. The little blue hedgehog was covered in coal dust."
Sonic's Driver: "We can't clean you up tonight, Sonic."
Narrator: "Said his driver."
Sonic's Driver: "There's a problem with the hose pipe."
Sonic: "Bother!"
Narrator: "Said Sonic."
Sonic: "A bath would make me feel much better. The others are sure to say I look silly."
Narrator: "But the TV characters were too busy arguing to notice Sonic. Rabbit was talking loudest of all."
Rabbit: "I deserve a new coat of fur. Noddy says I'm the pride of TV Land, and..."
Wallace: "Rubbish!"
Narrator: "Huffed Wallace."
Wallace: "We're all the pride of TV Land!"
Tails: "It's been like this all day."
Narrator: "Confided Tails to Sonic."
Tails: "Rabbit's getting a new coat of fur and won't stop boasting about it."
Sonic: "Why Rabbit? I'm the one who needs a new coat. Look at me!"
Rabbit: "I'd rather not."
Narrator: "Retorted Rabbit."
Rabbit: "You're not a pleasant sight, and wouldn't understand the needs of a really important character."
Narrator: "Sonic was fuming!
Next morning, as Rabbit was being refurred, Wallace had an accident!"
(CRASH!)
Rabbit: "If you can't push goombas properly, Wallace, why not talk to a tree instead? You know how much you like the forest."
Wallace: "As a matter of fact, bossy bill, Noddy is inspecting TV Land for trees that are too close to the path. He's worried they might cause trouble."
Rabbit: "Pah!"
Narrator: "Laughed Rabbit."
Rabbit: "If I came upon a tree, I'd just push it aside!"
Wallace: "Really?"
Narrator: "Replied Wallace.
Soon Rabbit was showing off his fur."
Rabbit: "Make way for an important character!"
Tails: "You wouldn't feel important if one of these trees crashed on you; you'd feel hurt!"
Narrator: "Reproached Tails."
Rabbit: "Rubbish! It wouldn't dare!"
Scooby-Doo: "You should be careful, Rabbit, trees can be just as powerful as characters."
Narrator: "Advised Scooby."
Rabbit: "Pah!"
Narrator: "Snorted Rabbit."
Rabbit: "Now, excuse me, Noddy needs me to pull the express."
Narrator: "And he huffed away.
But Rabbit was wrong."
Noddy: "You must go to the harbor and collect some important goods, Rabbit. They're heavy, so be careful."
Narrator: "Said Noddy."
Rabbit: "But sir, I've just been refurred. Can't Sonic or Arthur do it? They're dirty and like working with goombas."
Noddy: "Really useful TV characters don't argue!"
Narrator:: "So Rabbit didn't.
By the time he arrived at the harbor, the weather had changed for the worst."
Goomba: "Your fur's nice, Rabbit, pity about your face though."
Narrator: "Said a goomba."
(Goombas laugh)
Narrator: "Rabbit ignored them and set off.
Soon, they came to a hill, and his driber knew that they were in for a difficult time. An old tree, close to the path, was being blown by the strong winds, and rain had weakened the slope. All of a sudden, the tree moved!"
Rabbit: "Ooh, help!"
Narrator: "Cried Rabbit."
Rabbit: "Go away!"
Narrator: "But of course, the tree couldn't. Rabbit tried to reverse away from the tree, but his goombas were too heavy."
(Sonic whistles)
Narrator: "Then, he heard a whistle."
Rabbit's Driver: "It's Sonic!"
Narrator: "Called his driver.
Rabbit felt embarrassed and worried that Sonic would laugh at him, but Sonic didn't. He knew that this was no time for teasing."
Sonic: "I'm ready!"
Narrator: "Whistled Sonic."
Rabbit: "So am I."
Narrator: "Rabbit Replied."
Rabbit: "As ready as I'll ever be."
(The tree crashes to the ground)
Narrator: "They were just in time.
Later, Rabbit spoke to Sonic."
Rabbit: "Tails and Scooby were right to warn me."
Narrator: "He said."
Rabbit: "Thank you for rescuing me, Sonic."
Sonic: "Oh, that's all right. We TV characters must pull together, whatever the weather."
Narrator: "Just then, Mario bustled in."
Mario: "Noddy thinks you're both brave TV characters. Sonic, you're going to have a new coat of fur, and Rabbit, Noddy says that tomorrow, you'll pull the special express!"
Narrator: "Everyone was very happy."
