Transcript
- Alec Baldwin: One day, Thomas was at the keyside of a small village. Fish were being loaded into his cars. The work took a long time, the fishermen were using old equipment and Thomas was worried.
- Thomas: I'm going to be late for Henry at the docks. He won't like this. Please hurry up.
- Alec Baldwin: Thomas was rudely interrupted.
- (The crate containing fish inside falls on top of Thomas)
- Alec Baldwin: His driver and fireman laughed.
- Thomas: Phew!
- Alec Baldwin: Sniffed Thomas.
- Thomas: What a pong!
- Alec Baldwin: He was glad when they were speeding along the beautiful coastal run. Then, they saw a man waving a red flag.
- Thomas: What's the matter now?
- Man: High tides are damaging the track.
- Alec Baldwin: Reported the man.
- Man: I've marked the spot.
- Thomas' Driver: We'll go and inspect.
- Alec Baldwin: Said the Driver.
- (Thomas heads for the damaged track)
- Thomas' Driver: It would be dangerous for heavy engines like Henry.
- Alec Baldwin: Agreed the driver.
- Thomas' Driver: But for Thomas, it's safe enough.
- Alec Baldwin: The guard left a red oil lamp by the damaged track to warn engines.
- Guard: When we get to the docks, I'll tell them to close the line.
- Alec Baldwin: Henry was waiting for Thomas' cars.
- Henry: Pah! You're late and that smell is making me ill!
- Thomas: I can't help it, it's the fish!
- Alec Baldwin: Replied Thomas.
- Thomas: And there's danger on the rails. That's why we're late.
- Henry: Pah! You're the only danger on the rails, Thomas. Now stop wasting time and get my cars hitched to my train.
- Alec Baldwin: Thomas' driver and fireman were in the yard master's office when they heard Henry's whistle. He was steaming out of the station with his long heavy train called "The Flying Kipper".
- Thomas' Driver: What route is Henry taking tonight?
- Alec Baldwin: Asked the Driver.
- Yard Master: The coastal run. It's the quickest.
- Thomas' Driver: But I told you!
- Alec Baldwin: Gasped the driver.
- Thomas' Driver: That's dangerous for a big engine like Henry!
- Alec Baldwin: The yard master quickly phoned the signalman. Henry roared past the signalbox.
- Henry: I'll soon make up for lost time.
- Alec Baldwin: The signalman couldn't hear the warning. By the time he did, Henry was far away in a cloud of steam. But when Henry reached the coastal track, his hopes for a fast run were dashed. Fog floated everywhere.
- Henry: I can't see!
- Alec Baldwin: Cried Henry. Nor could his driver. And when he could, it was too late.
- (Henry falls down into the deep water)
- Alec Baldwin: As soon as the tide was high enough, Henry was craned out of the water.
- Sir Topham Hatt: Engines don't swim, Henry. You were meant to deliver fish not swim with them. You should know that by now.
- Henry: Yes, sir. I'm sorry, sir.
- Alec Baldwin: When Henry arrived at the docks, Cranky the Crane looked down on him.
- Cranky: My, my, Henry. I expect you'll have some fishy tales to tell. But take my advice, have a long hosedown first. Pah!, hissed Henry
- Alec Baldwin: But there was worse to come.
- Boy 1: Look! They've caught all this fish and a green whale too.
- Boy 2: It's not a whale, it's a monster.
- Alec Baldwin: Henry was most upset. Thomas now felt sorry for Henry.
- Thomas: Come on. Your driver says it's time for a nice washdown. Then you'll feel much better.
- Alec Baldwin: And Henry did.
- Henry: I'm sorry I was rude to you, Thomas.
- Thomas: That's all right. But can you smell something?
- Henry: What?
- Thomas: Fresh air.
- Henry: Oh yes.
- Alec Baldwin: Replied Henry happily.
