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: Thomas is a really useful engine. Here's Percy. He is a very happy engine. James is a magnificent engine. Gordon is the most fastest engine on the Island of Sodor. Henry is long and fast. Here's Edward always here to help. Toby is a different engine. He's a tram engine.
• (A passing by sequence occurs and we begin Thomas Meets The Queen)
• George Carlin: Gordon the Big Engine and Thomas the Tank Engine puff buffer to buffer back home. It had been a busy day. First Thomas had teased Gordon about the time that the big engine had slid into a ditch. Then Thomas fell down a mine and Gordon came to his rescue.
• Gordon: Remember, Thomas.
• George Carlin: Called Gordon grandly.
• Gordon: United we stand, together we fall. You helped me and I'll helped you.
• Thomas: I'll remember.
• George Carlin: Replied Thomas.
• Thomas: But I hope Sir Topham Hatt forgives us soon.
• George Carlin: Suddenly, they notice something. As the two engines whistled in their sheds, everywhere they look, they saw paint pots and painters.
• Thomas: Bust my buffers!
• George Carlin: Said Thomas.
• Thomas: What's happening?
• Percy: Shh!
• George Carlin: Whispered Percy.
• Percy: Sir Topham Hatt's going to tell us now.
• Sir Topham Hatt: Ladies and gentlemen and engines, I am honored to form you that her majesty the Queen herself was coming here to visit us. Now, on with the preparations.
• George Carlin: The engines wondered who would pull the Royal Train.
• Edward: I'm too old to pull important trains.
• George Carlin: Said Edward.
• Gordon: I'm in disgrace.
• George Carlin: Sighed Gordon.
• James: He'll choose me, of course.
• George Carlin: Boasted James.
• Henry: You?!
• George Carlin: Snorted Henry.
• Henry: You can't climb hills! He'll ask me to pull the train, and I'll have a new coat of paint.
• George Carlin: Then the rain came. Henry's driver and fireman covered out their cab to keep dry. A painter was on a lantern above the line. Henry's smoke blew high into the air. The painter couldn't see. Both he and the paint pot fell all over Henry.
• (The paint falls on top of Henry)
• George Carlin: Poor Henry!
• Painter: Well, you're not a pretty picture.
• George Carlin: Sneered the painter. Sir Topham Hatt spoke next.
• Sir Topham Hatt: You look like an iced-cake, Henry. That won't do for the Royal Train. I must make other arrangements.
• George Carlin: Gordon and Thomas were waiting for him.
• Gordon and Thomas: Please, Sir.
• Sir Topham Hatt: One at a time.
• George Carlin: Replied Sir Topham Hatt.
• Sir Topham Hatt: Yes, Gordon?
• Gordon: May Thomas have his Branch Line again?
• Sir Topham Hatt: Hmm... I think you are both sorry and deserve a treat. Edward will go and front to clear the line, Thomas will look after the coaches and Gordon will pull the train.
• George Carlin: The great day came. All the engines work hard bringing people to the town. Thomas sorted out their coaches in the yard.
• (Engines whistling)
• George Carlin: Edward steamed in.
• Edward: Peep! The Queen is here!
• George Carlin: Then Gordon whistled as he approached the station. Everyone knew that sound. The queen's train glided into the station. Gordon was spotless and his brass shown brightly. Sir Topham Hatt stood to attention.
• Sir Topham Hatt: Welcome, ma'am.
• George Carlin: The queen thanked him for a splendid run and ask to see all the engines.
• Toby and Percy: Peep peep!
• George Carlin: Whistled Toby and Percy.
• Henry and James: Shh!
• George Carlin: Hissed Henry and James. But Toby and Percy didn't care.
• Percy: Three cheers for the queen! Peep peep!
• George Carlin: Whistled the engines. When it was time to leave, the queen spoke specially to Thomas who fetch her coaches, then to Edward, and finally to Gordon who took her away. No engines ever felt prouder than those of Sir Topham Hatt's Railway.
• (Another passing by sequence occurs and we begin Don't Judge A Book By Its Cover)
• Children: (singing) Thomas first saw Terence the Tractor plowing in a field one day and he said, "My oh my, you do look funny. Where are your wheels, are your wheels, are your wheels? How ever do you move along? You really do look funny." "Don't be so rude", said Terence the Tractor "I don't have wheels like you Because my caterpillar tracks are so much better. And I can go anywhere, anywhere, anywhere I don't need rails like you. One day I will prove it, show you how I do it Then you will understand... That you don't judge a book by its cover Don't make your mind up too soon Things aren't necessarily Always what they appear to be Don't judge a book by its cover Don't make your mind up too soon Never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never Never judge a book by its cover Sure enough, one winter's day When the snow lay deep and hard Thomas got stuck, he was in trouble And who do you think came along, came along And rescued him that day The snow didn't matter to Terence the Tractor Now Thomas understands... That you don't judge a book by its cover Don't make your mind up too soon Things aren't necessarily Always what they appear to be Don't judge a book by its cover Don't make your mind up too soon Never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never Never judge a book by its cover. Don't judge a book by its cover Don't make your mind up too soon Things aren't necessarily Always what they appear to be. Don't judge a book by its cover Just remember the rule Never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never Never judge a book.... By its cover!
• (Another passing by sequence occurs and we begin One Good Turn)
• George Carlin: Bill and Ben are the most mischievous engines working on Sir Topham Hatt's railway. They're kept busy pushing and pulling cars up and down the line that runs from the china clay works to the harbour yard. They like to have fun together and often play tricks on the workmen.
• (Bill pulls the cars away and soot falls on the tracks)
• George Carlin: But sometimes, their teasing ways can get them into trouble. One morning, Sir Topham Hatt came to see them.
• Sir Topham Hatt: Important goods have arrived in the big yard. Bill and Ben, I need you to help the other engines.
• Bill and Ben: Oh, yes, of course, sir.
• George Carlin: Replied the twins. They set off happily on their important mission. BoCo was resting in the yard when suddenly he heard a pair of familiar whistles.
• BoCo: Hmm.
• George Carlin: Sighed BoCo.
• BoCo: Here comes trouble.
• Bill: Sir Topham Hatt told us you were tired.
• George Carlin: Teased Bill.
• Bill: He asked us to take all your cars for you.
• BoCo: You two never stopped do you? But I'm wise to your pranks and we do need help here.
• George Carlin: The twins were soon busy pushing and pulling the heavy cars into place. At last, the day's work was done. The twins now became excited. They were going to use the turntable for the first time. Bill went first.
• Bill: This is fun!
• George Carlin: He shrieked to Ben. He didn't want to move off at all. The foreman stopped the turntable.
• Foreman: Please make way for the other engines.
• George Carlin: He ordered. Bill did so, but the foreman had accidentally stopped the turntable in the wrong place. Bill was on the wrong track and there was Ben puffing directly toward him. The engines came to a grinding halt.
• (Bill and Ben stop against each other)
• George Carlin: They gazed grimly at each other.
• Bill: I was here first!
• George Carlin: Said Bill.
• Ben: But you're in my way!
• George Carlin: Protested Ben.
• Ben: You'll have to back up again!
• Bill: I won't!
• Ben: You will!
• Bill: I won't!
• George Carlin: Sir Topham Hatt came to stop the noise.
• Sir Topham Hatt: If you don't behave, I shall not allow you here again.
• George Carlin: The next day, Ben was still grumpy.
• Ben: That Bill! Imagine getting in my way on the turntable. He's a really silly engine!
• BoCo: The way I heard it.
• George Carlin: Sighed BoCo.
• BoCo: It sounded like you were both to blame.
• Ben: Pooh! You must have heard it all wrong!
• George Carlin: The twins grumbled about each other all day. Even kind Edward lost patience.
• Edward: All this grumbling spreads bad atmosphere in the yard.
• BoCo: You're quite right and that's why I come up with a plan.
• George Carlin: BoCo whispered his plan to Edward. Then his driver told Sir Topham Hatt.
• Sir Topham Hatt: I'll start making arrangements right away.
• George Carlin: The next morning he called Bill and Ben into the yard.
• Sir Topham Hatt: BoCo is taking a special train to the harbour. His regular heavy goods train is waiting on the siding. You can pull it together.
• Ben: But...
• Bill: But...
• George Carlin: Protested Bill and Ben who were still not speaking to each other.
• Sir Topham Hatt: Good. I knew I can rely on you two.
• Ben: I'll take the train myself.
• George Carlin: Huffed Ben.
• Bill: Go right ahead.
• George Carlin: Said Bill. Ben was coupled up to the train of freight cars, but they were too heavy for him to move alone.
• (Ben attempts to pull a train)
• Bill: Go on.
• George Carlin: Teased Bill.
• Ben: I can't!
• George Carlin: Said Ben. Then suddenly, both twins laughed.
• Bill: I don't think we'll take turns this time, Ben.
• George Carlin: Said Bill.
• Bill: I think we better pull together!
• George Carlin: Ben was delighted. It was good to be helping each other. Best of all, it was good to be friends again.
• (Another passing by sequence occurs and we begin The Snow Song)
• Children: (singing) You wake to the silence the bright afterglow. Now there's a surprise for what do you know. It's snowing. Look, it's snowing. Little Jack Frost has been busy last night. The Island of Sodor is a blanket of white 'Cause it's snowing. Yes, it's snowing. White winter wonderland. Beautiful day. Snow, snow, snow, snow. Snow, snow, snow, snow. There in the valley someone you'll know. The little blue train finds his way through the snow. Whistle blowing. Yes, it's snowing. It's a beautiful world; It's a lovely day. Cherish this moment, remember this day 'Cause it's snowing. Yes, it's snowing. White winter wonderland. Beautiful day. Snow, snow, snow, snow.
• (Children laughing)
• Children: (singing) White winter wonderland. Beautiful day. Snow, snow, snow, snow. Snow, snow, snow, snow. Stay, stay, please stay.
• (Another passing by sequence occurs and we begin Escape!)
• George Carlin: One day, Edward was talking to Trevor when Douglas steamed by. He was pulling a train of heavy coal cars.
• Douglas: Come on, Edward. Stop gossiping in the sun when there's work to be done.
• George Carlin: Later, Edward spoke to Douglas.
• Edward: Trevor and I are old friends and you and he had in lot of common too.
• Douglas: We do?
• George Carlin: Quizzed Douglas.
• Douglas: And what would that be?
• Edward: Scrap.
• George Carlin: Said Edward quietly. Douglas gasped.
• Douglas: Don't mention that word! It makes me wheels wobble!
• Edward: It does the same to Trevor.
• George Carlin: Said Edward.
• Edward: He was been sent to the scrapyard, but the Vicar and I saved him and now he's really useful again. Even so, Sir Topham Hatt certainly does need another steam engine here.
• Douglas: Aye, he does, and quickly.
• George Carlin: That night, Douglas was still working. He had taken the midnight goods train to a station at a faraway part of the island where only the diesels worked. He was just shunting, ready for his return journey, when...
• Douglas: That's sounds like a steam engine.
• George Carlin: He thought. The hiss came again.
• Douglas: Who's there?
• George Carlin: Asked Douglas. A whisper came.
• Oliver: Are you Sir Topham Hatt's engine?
• Douglas: Aye, and proud of it.
• Oliver: I'm Oliver and I'm with my break van, Toad, we've run out of coal and had no more steam.
• Douglas: But what are you doing?
• Oliver: Escaping?
• Douglas: From what?
• Oliver: Scrap.
• George Carlin: Douglas shivered. Then, he remembered Edward's story about saving Trevor.
• Douglas: I'll be glad to help ya. It lacked look those who were ready to scrap but I'm taking you away.
• George Carlin: Their drivers and firemen agreed to help too. Everyone worked fast.
• Douglas: No time to turn round. I'll run tender first. Come on.
• (Dog barking)
• George Carlin: But before they could clear the station they were stopped.
• Foreman: Aha!
• George Carlin: Called the foreman.
• Foreman: A great western engine and a break van too. You can't take these.
• Driver: Aye, but there all for us.
• George Carlin: Said Douglas' driver.
• Driver: See for yourself.
• George Carlin: The foreman looked all over Oliver.
• Foreman: Seems in order. Right away, guard.
• (Douglas and Oliver make an escape)
• Douglas: That was a near thing.
• Oliver: We have worse.
• George Carlin: Replied Oliver and they forced ahead. It was daylight when their journey ended.
• Douglas: We're home!
• George Carlin: Cried Douglas.
• Driver: Shh!
• George Carlin: Said his driver.
• Driver: There the works. We'll find a place for Oliver.
• George Carlin: Oliver said goodbye and thank you, and Douglas puffed away. The next day, Douglas told the other engines all about Oliver.
• James: Sir Topham Hatt would have to know.
• George Carlin: Said James.
• Gordon: Douglas should tell him at once.
• George Carlin: Added Gordon.
• Sir Topham Hatt: Well, here he is.
• George Carlin: Said a voice.
• Sir Topham Hatt: Now what's this all about?
• Duck: Beg pardon, sir, but we do need another engine.
• Gordon: Yes sir.
• George Carlin: Ventured Gordon.
• Gordon: A steam engine, sir.
• Sir Topham Hatt: Well, unless one saved from scrap, there's little hope.
• Douglas: But sir, one has...
• Sir Topham Hatt: Yes indeed. And thanks to you, Douglas, he is now at our works. Oliver is just what we need for Duck's branch line.
• George Carlin: Everyone cheered. Now Oliver and Toad are mended and painted in full great western colors. Duck and Oliver are happy on their branch line. The others laughed at first and called it "The Little Western". Duck and Oliver were delighted and so the little western, it will always be.
• (Another passing by sequence occurs and we begin Come For The Ride)
• Girl: (singing) All your friends on the railway would like you all to see.
• Children: (singing) Just how much fun rockin' on the railway can be.
• Boy: (singing) So won't you come along and join them for the ride.
• Children: (singing) Just hang on tight, catch your breath, and come for the ride! Rockin', rockin' on the railway, Rollin', rollin' on the railway, Movin', movin' down the line, Swingin', sway from side to side. They'll be rockin' an' a-rollin' won't you come for the ride of your life?
• Boy: (singing) Watch Duncan go, he can really rock 'n' roll.
• Children: (singing) He can slip, he can slide, he can sway from side to side.
• Girl: (singing) So when you hear him coming and you hear his whistle blow.
• Children: (singing) You'd better step aside 'cause he can go go go! Rockin', rockin' on the railway, Rollin', rollin' on the railway, Movin', movin' down the line, Swingin', sway from side to side. They'll be rockin' an' a-rollin' won't you come for the ride of your life? Now we're really moving, movin' to an' fro. Everyone around shouting "More! More! More!" Can't get enough, can't get enough of these thrills. And just when you think you can't take anymore. You'd better hang on tight 'cause here we go again. Slip slide come for the ride! Rockin', rockin' on the railway, Rollin', rollin' on the railway Movin', movin' down the line, Swingin', sway from side to side. They'll be rockin' an' a-rollin' won't you come for the ride of your life? Now Gordon's in a hurry, 'cause Thomas made him wait. We'll have to go much faster, we really can't be late. Soon the coach was rockin', it swayed from side to side.
• Girl: (singing) With the bath water spillin' and a-splashin' inside.
• Children: (singing) Rockin', rockin' on the railway, Rollin', rollin' on the railway Movin', movin' down the line, Swingin', sway from side to side. They'll be rockin' an' a-rollin' an' a-reelin' on the railway tonight. Rockin', rockin' on the railway, Rollin', rollin' on the railway Movin', movin' down the line, Swingin', sway from side to side. They'll be rockin' an' a-rollin' won't you come for the ride of your life? They'll be rockin' an' a-rollin' won't you come for the ride of your life?
