 * (We Open This Video With The Strand Home Video FBI Warning)
 * (We Then See The 1993-1994 Strand Home Video Logo)
 * (The Britt Allcroft Presents Logo Is Then Followed)
 * (We Then See The Thomas Season 3 Intro And We Begin Thomas Comes To Breakfast)
 * (Thomas' Whistle Toots)
 * George Carlin: Thomas The Tank Engine Has Worked On His Branch Line For Many Years, And Knows It Very Well.
 * (Thomas Arrives At The Station)
 * Thomas' Driver: You Know Just Where To Stop, Thomas.
 * George Carlin: Laughed His Driver.
 * Thomas' Driver: You Could Almost Manage It Without You.
 * George Carlin: Thomas Had Become Conceded. He Didn't Realize His Driver Was Joking. Later, He Boasted To The Others.
 * Thomas: Driver Says I Don't Need Him Now.
 * Percy: Don't Be So Daft.
 * George Carlin: Snorted Percy.
 * Toby: I Never Go Without My Driver.
 * George Carlin: Said Toby Earnestly.
 * Toby: I'd Be Frightened.
 * Thomas: Pooh!
 * George Carlin: Boasted Thomas.
 * Thomas: I'm Not Scared.
 * Toby: You Never Dare.
 * Thomas: I Would Then. You'll See.
 * George Carlin: The Next Day The Firelighter Came. Thomas Drowsed Comfortably As The Warmth Spread Into His Boiler. Percy And Toby Were Still Asleep. Thomas Suddenly Remembered.
 * Thomas: Silly Stick-In-The-Muds!
 * George Carlin: He Chuckled.
 * Thomas: I'll Show Them! Driver Says I Can Manage Without Him. I'll Just Go Out And Then I'll Stop And "Wheesh!" That'll Make Them Jump.
 * George Carlin: Thomas Thought He Was Being Clever And Really He Was Only Moving Because A Careless Cleaner Had Medal With His Controls. He Soon Found His Mistake. He Tried To "Wheesh!", But He Couldn't. He Tried To Stop, But He Couldn't. He Just Kept Rolling Along. He Didn't Dare What It Look What's Coming Next. There Was The Stationmaster's House! The Stationmaster Was About To Have Breakfast.
 * Thomas: Horrors!
 * George Carlin: Cried Thomas, And Shut His Eyes.
 * (Thomas Crashes Into The Stationmaster's House)
 * George Carlin: The House Rocked, Broken Glass Tinkled, Plaster Was Everywhere. Thomas Had Collected The Bush On His Travels. He Peered Into His Room Through His Leaves. He Couldn't Speak. The Stationmaster Was Furious. His Wife Picked Up Her Plate.
 * Stationmaster's Wife: You Miserable Engine!
 * George Carlin: She Scolded.
 * Stationmaster's Wife: Just Look What You've Done To Our Breakfast! Now I'll Shall Have To Cook Some More!
 * George Carlin: She Banged The Door. More Plaster Fell. This Time It Fell On Thomas. Thomas Felt Depressed. Workmen Propped Out The House With Strong Poles And Layed Rails Through The Garden. Then, The Scottish Twin Engines Donald And Douglas Arrived.
 * Donald And Douglas: Dinna Fash Yourself, Thomas. We'll Soon Have You Back On The Rails.
 * George Carlin: They Laughed.
 * (Donald And Douglas Begin To Rescue Thomas)
 * George Carlin: Donald And Douglas Puffing Hard Manage To Haul Thomas Back To Safety. Bits Of Fencing, The Bush, And A Broken Window Frame Festooned Was Front, Which Was Badly Twisted. The Twins Laughed And Left Him. Thomas Was In Disgraced. There Was Worst To Come.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: You're In A Lot Of Trouble, Thomas.
 * Thomas: I Know, Sir. I'm Sorry, Sir.
 * George Carlin: Thomas' Voice Was Muffled Behind His Bush.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: You Must Go To The Works And Have Your Worn Parts Mended. It Will Be A Long Job.
 * Thomas: Yes, Sir.
 * George Carlin: Meanwhile, A Diesel Rail-Car Will Do Your Work.
 * Thomas: A Diesel, Sir?
 * George Carlin: Thomas Spluttered.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Yes, Thomas. Diesels Always Stay In Their Sheds Till They Are Wanted. Diesels Never Gallanting Off To Breakfast In Stationmasters' Houses.
 * (A Nameplate Sequence Occurs And We Begin Pop Goes The Diesel)
 * George Carlin: Duck Is Very Proud Of Being Great Western. He Talks Endlessly About It. But He Works Hard Too And Makes Everything Ran Like Clockwork. It Was A Splendid Day. The Cars And Coaches Behave Well, The Passengers Even Stopped Grumbling. But The Engines Didn't Like Having To Bustle About.
 * Duck: There Are 2 Ways Of Doing Things.
 * George Carlin: Duck Told Them.
 * Duck: The Great Western Way, Or The Wrong Way. I'm Great Western And...
 * Henry, Gordon And James: Don't We Know It!
 * George Carlin: They Groaned. The Engines Were Glad When The Visitor Came. He Purred Smoothly Towards Him. Sir Topham Hatt Introduce Him.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Here Is Diesel. I Have Agreed To Give Him A Trial. He Needs To Learn. Please Teach Him, Duck.
 * Diesel: Good Morning.
 * George Carlin: Purred Diesel In An Oily Voice.
 * Diesel: Please To Meet You, Duck. Is That James And Henry And Gordon Too? I Am Delighted To Meet Such Famous Engines.
 * George Carlin: The Silly Engines Were Flattered.
 * Engines: He Has Very Good Manners.
 * George Carlin: They Murmured.
 * Engines: We're Pleased To Have In Our Yard.
 * George Carlin: Duck Had His Doubts.
 * Duck: Come On!
 * George Carlin: He Said. Diesel Purred After Him.
 * Diesel: Your Worth Top...
 * Duck: Sir Topham Hatt To You.
 * George Carlin: Ordered Duck. Diesel Looked Hurt.
 * Diesel: Your Worthy Sir Topham Hatt Thinks I Need To Learn. He Is Mistaken. We Diesel Don't Need To Learn. We Know Everything. We Come To A Yard And Improvement. We Are Revolutionary.
 * Duck: Oh!
 * George Carlin: Said Duck.
 * Duck: If You Are revo-thingummy, Perhaps You Would Collect My Cars While I Fetch Gordon's Coaches.
 * George Carlin: Diesel Delighted To Showoff, Purred Away. When Duck Returned, Diesel Was Trying To Take Some Cars From A Siding. They Were Old And Empty. They've Not Been Touch For A Longtime. Diesel Found Them Hard To Move.
 * Diesel: Pull! Push! Backwards! Forwards!
 * Cars: Oh! Oh!
 * George Carlin: The Cars Groaned.
 * Cars: We Can't! We Won't!
 * George Carlin: Duck Watched With Interest. Diesel Lost Patience.
 * Diesel: Grrr!
 * George Carlin: He Roared, And Gave A Great Heave. The Cars Jerked Forward.
 * Cars: Oh!
 * George Carlin: They Screamed.
 * Cars: We Can't! We Won't!
 * George Carlin: Some Of Their Brakes Snapped, And The Gear Jammed In The Sleepers.
 * Diesel: Grrrr!
 * Duck: Ha, Ha, Ha!
 * George Carlin: Chuckled Duck. Diesel Recovered And Try To Push The Cars Back, But They Wouldn't Move. Duck Ran Quietly Around To Collect The Other Cars.
 * Duck: Thank You For Arranging These, Diesel. I Must Go Now.
 * Diesel: Don't You Want This Lot?
 * Duck: No Thank You.
 * George Carlin: Diesel Gulped.
 * Diesel: And I've Taken All This Trouble? Why Didn't You Tell Me?
 * Duck: You Never Asked Me. Besides.
 * George Carlin: Said Duck.
 * Duck: You Were Having Such Fun Being revo-whatever-it-was-you-said. Goodbye.
 * Diesel: Grrrr!
 * George Carlin: Diesel Had To Help The Workmen Clear The Mess. He Hated It. All The Cars Were Laughing And Singing At Him.
 * Cars: Cars Are Waiting In The Yard, Tackling Them With Ease'll, "Show The World What You Can Do", Gaily Boasts The Diesel, In And Out He Creeps About, Like A Big Black Weasel, When He Pulls The Wrong Cars Out, Pop Goes The Diesel!
 * Diesel: Grrr!
 * George Carlin: Growled Diesel, And Scuttled Away To Sulk In The Shed.
 * (Another Nameplate Sequence Occurs And We Begin Diesel's Devious Deed)
 * George Carlin: Diesel The New Engine Was Sulking.
 * Freight Cars: Trucks Are Waiting In The Yard...
 * George Carlin: The Freight Cars Were Not Stop Singing Rudely At Him.
 * Freight Cars: "Show The World What I Can Do", Gaily Boasts The Diesel. In And Out He Creeps About Like A Big Black Weasel...
 * George Carlin: Duck Was Horrified.
 * Freight Cars: When He Pulls The Wrong Trucks Out...
 * Duck: Shut Up!
 * George Carlin: He Ordered, And Bumped Them Hard.
 * Freight Cars: Pop Goes The Diesel!
 * Duck: I'm Sorry Our Cars Were Rude To You, Diesel.
 * George Carlin: Diesel Was Still Furious.
 * Diesel: It's All Your Fault. You Made Them Laugh At Me.
 * Henry: Nonsense.
 * George Carlin: Said Henry.
 * Henry: Duck Would Never Do That. We Engines Have Our Differences, But We Never Talked About Them To The Cars. That Would Be Dis...Dis...
 * Gordon: Disgraceful.
 * George Carlin: Said Gordon.
 * James: Disgusting.
 * George Carlin: Put In James.
 * Henry: Despicable.
 * George Carlin: Finished Henry. Diesel Hated Duck. He Wanted Him To Be Sent Away, So He Made Him A Plan. He Was Going To Tell Lies About Duck. Next Day, He Spoke To The Cars.
 * Diesel: I See You Like Jokes. You Made A Good Joke About Me Yesterday. I Laughed And Laughed. Duck Told Me One About Gordon. I'll Whisper It. Don't Tell Gordon I Told You.
 * George Carlin: And He Sniggered Away.
 * Freight Cars: Ha, Ha, Ha!
 * George Carlin: Guffawed The Cars.
 * Freight Cars: Gordon Will Be Cross With Duck When He Knows. Let's Tell Him And Get Back At Duck For Bumping Us.
 * George Carlin: They Laughed Rudely At The Engines As They Went By. Soon Gordon, Henry, And James Found Out Why.
 * Gordon: Disgraceful.
 * George Carlin: Said Gordon.
 * James: Disgusting.
 * George Carlin: Put In James.
 * Henry: Despicable.
 * George Carlin: Finished Henry.
 * Henry: We Cannot Allow It.
 * George Carlin: They Consulted Together.
 * Henry: Yes.
 * George Carlin: They Said.
 * Henry: He Did It To Us, We'll Do It To Him And See How He Likes It.
 * George Carlin: Duck Was Tired Out. The Cars Had Been Cheeky And Troublesome. He Wanted A Rest In The Shed. The 3 Engines Barred His Way.
 * (Gordon, James And Henry Wheesh Steam With Fury, Causing Duck To Get Dazed)
 * James: Keep Out!
 * Duck: Stop Fooling.
 * George Carlin: Said Duck.
 * Duck: I'm Tired.
 * James: So Are We.
 * George Carlin: Hissed The Engines.
 * Gordon: We're Tired Of You. We Like Diesel. We Don't Like You.
 * Henry: You Tell Tales About Us To The Cars.
 * Duck: I Don't!
 * Gordon, James And Henry: You Do!
 * Duck: I Don't!
 * Gordon, James And Henry: You Do!
 * George Carlin: Sir Topham Hatt Came To Stop The Noise.
 * Gordon: Duck Called Me A Galloping Sausage!
 * George Carlin: Spluttered Gordon.
 * James: Rusty Red Scrap Iron!
 * George Carlin: Hissed James.
 * Henry: I'm Old Square Wheels!
 * George Carlin: Fumed Henry.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Well, Duck?
 * George Carlin: Duck Considered.
 * Duck: I Only Wish Sir.
 * George Carlin: He Said Gravely.
 * Duck: That I Thought Of Those Names Myself. If The Dome Fits...
 * Sir Topham Hatt: (Clearing Throat)
 * Gordon, James And Henry: He Made Cars Laugh At Us.
 * George Carlin: Accused The Engines. Sir Topham Hatt Recovered. He Been Trying Not To Laugh Himself.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Did You, Duck?
 * Duck: Certainly Not, Sir. No Steam Engine Will Be As Mean As That.
 * George Carlin: Diesel Lurked Up.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Now, Diesel, You Heard What Duck Said.
 * Diesel: I Can't Understand It, Sir, To Think That Duck Of All Engines. I'm Dreadfully Grieved, Sir, But Know Nothing.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: I See.
 * George Carlin: Said Sir Topham Hatt. Diesel Squirmed And Hope He Didn't.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: I'm Sorry, Duck, But You Must Go To Edward's Station For A While. I Know He'll Be Glad To See Him.
 * Duck: As You Wish, Sir.
 * George Carlin: Duck Trundled Sadly Away, While Diesel Smirked With Triumph.
 * (Another Nameplate Sequence Occurs And We Begin No Joke For James)
 * George Carlin: James Is A Mixed Traffic Engine. He Can Pull Both Freight Cars And Coaches. He's Proud Of His Smart Red Paint And So Is His Driver.
 * James' Driver: Everyone Says You Brighten Up Your Day, James.
 * George Carlin: One Morning, James Whistled Loudly At The Other Engines.
 * James: Look At Me! I'm A Smartest Most Useful Engine On The Line!
 * Thomas: Rubbish.
 * George Carlin: Replied Thomas.
 * Thomas: We're All Useful. Sir Topham Hatt Says So And He's Headed The Whole Railway.
 * Percy: You Know What, James?
 * George Carlin: Added Percy.
 * James: What?
 * George Carlin: Replied James.
 * Percy: You're Getting All Puffed Out.
 * George Carlin: James Huffed Away. Later, He Was Still Boasting.
 * James: I'm The Pride Of The Line.
 * Gordon: I Saw You're Pulling Freight Cars.
 * George Carlin: Snorted Gordon.
 * Gordon: You're Only A Goods Engine.
 * James: I've Pull Coaches Too.
 * Gordon: Not As Much As I Do.
 * James: But Sir Topham Hatt Has Plans For Me.
 * George Carlin: James Was Making This Up But Gordon Believe Him.
 * Gordon: What Plans?
 * James: Uh, Wait And See. Oh Dear.
 * George Carlin: He Thought.
 * James: Now What'll I Do?
 * George Carlin: Thomas Was Shunting Shiny New Coaches.
 * Thomas: Good Morning, James.
 * James: Are Those Coaches For Me?
 * George Carlin: Asked James Hopefully.
 * Thomas: No, These Are For Gordon's Express. I'll Fetch Your Freight Cars Next.
 * George Carlin: But James Was Going To Play A Trick On The Other Engines.
 * James: Actually, Thomas, I'm Taking The Coaches. Sir Topham Hatt Ask Me To Tell You.
 * Thomas: What About The Cars?
 * George Carlin: Asked Thomas.
 * James: Uh, Give Them To Gordon.
 * Thomas' Driver: Come On, Thomas.
 * George Carlin: Said His Driver.
 * Thomas' Driver: Orders And Orders.
 * George Carlin: So When James' Driver Returned, James Was Coupled To The Coaches And He Puffed Away. Thomas Returned With The Freight Cars. And A Few Minutes Later, Gordon Arrived.
 * Gordon: Where's The Express?
 * George Carlin: Thomas Told Him About James.
 * Thomas: And So Here Are Your Cars.
 * George Carlin: Gordon Was Very Cross And So His Driver.
 * Gordon's Driver: Wait'll Sir Topham Hatt Hears About This.
 * George Carlin: Meanwhile James Was Enjoying Himself Enormously.
 * James: What A Clever Plan! What A Clever Plan!
 * George Carlin: He Chuffed. Then He Saw Sir Topham Hatt.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Some Jokes Are Funny, But Not This One, James. You Have Caused Confusion.
 * James: Yes Sir.
 * George Carlin: Said James.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: You Will Now Stay In Your Shed Until You Are Wanted.
 * George Carlin: The Other Engines Teased James.
 * Gordon: I Wonder Who'd Be Pulling The Express Today?
 * George Carlin: Said Gordon.
 * Henry: I Expect It'll Be You.
 * George Carlin: Replied Henry.
 * Henry: James Is Stuck In The Shed For Being Silly.
 * George Carlin: James Felt Sad. Next Morning, He Went Back To Work.
 * Thomas: Hello.
 * George Carlin: Whistled Thomas.
 * Thomas: Good To See You Out And About Again.
 * James: I'm Sorry I Tricked You.
 * George Carlin: Said James.
 * James: Are These My Cars?
 * Thomas: Yes.
 * George Carlin: Replied Thomas Kindly.
 * Thomas: They're Please To Have You Back.
 * George Carlin: James Set Off To The Harbour With A Train Of Freight Cars. He Bustled About All Day Pushing And Pulling Them Into Place.
 * James' Driver: Time To Go Home Now, James.
 * George Carlin: Said His Driver At Last.
 * James' Driver: No Cars Or Passengers. Just We Too.
 * George Carlin: But His Driver Was Wrong.
 * Railway Inspector: Excuse Me.
 * George Carlin: Said The Man.
 * Railway Inspector: I Have A Meeting With Sir Topham Hatt And I Mustn't Be Late. May I Ride Back With You?
 * James' Driver: Of Course.
 * George Carlin: Replied James' Driver. Then He Whispered To James.
 * James' Driver: This Gentleman Is A Railway Inspector.
 * George Carlin: James Was Most Impressed. He Steamed Along The Line As Smoothly And Quickly As He Could. Sir Topham Hatt Was Waiting On The Platform And The Railway Inspector Greeted Him Warmly.
 * Railway Inspector: This Clever Engine Gave Me A Splendid Ride. You Must Be Proud Of Him.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Yes Indeed. Once Again, You Are A Really Useful Engine.
 * (Another Nameplate Sequence Occurs And We Begin Thomas, Percy And The Mail Train)
 * George Carlin: That Night, When The Other Engines Are Tucked Away In Their Sheds, You Can Still Hear A Faraway Call Of An Engine's Whistle, And A Clickity-Clack A Train Wheel's Turning. This Is The Sound Of A Mail Train. 1 Train Is Pulled By Thomas, And The Other By Percy, As The Loads Are Too Heavy For 1 Engine To Do The Work Alone. The Mail Is Loaded Into Freight Cars At The Harbour And The Engines Pull Their Trains Through The Silent Stations Delivering Their Precious Loads. One A Clear Night, A Big Shiny Moon Brightens Their Journey, But Often Thomas And Percy Can Even See The Stars. But Whenever The Weather, Lamps Along The Track Always Light Their Way. One Night, Percy Was Waiting At The Junction. The Main Line Train Was Late. At Last, Henry Arrived.
 * Henry: Sorry.
 * George Carlin: He Puffed.
 * Henry: The Mail Boat From The Main Line Was Delayed.
 * Percy: Come On, Percy.
 * George Carlin: Said His Driver.
 * Percy's Driver: Let's Makeup For Lost Time.
 * George Carlin: Percy Hurried Along The Line As Quickly As He Could. But The Sun Was Already Rising As He Finish His Work.
 * Percy: Never Mind.
 * George Carlin: Thought Percy.
 * Percy: It's Nice To Be Up In About, When It's The Start Of A New Day And There's No One Else Around.
 * George Carlin: Percy Was Not Alone For Long.
 * Percy: Bother!
 * George Carlin: Thought Percy.
 * Percy: It's That Dizzy-Thing Harold.
 * Harold: Good Morning.
 * George Carlin: Whirled Harold.
 * Harold: I Only Said Railways Were Out Of Date, But You're So Slow With The Mail. You Should Give Everyone Their Stamps Back.
 * George Carlin: Percy Was Too Tired To Explain.
 * Percy: Birdbrain.
 * George Carlin: He Muttered.
 * Duck: Good Morning, Percy.
 * George Carlin: Called Duck.
 * Duck: You're Up Early This Morning.
 * Percy: No, You're Wrong.
 * George Carlin: Sighed Percy.
 * Percy: I'm Back, Tired And Late.
 * George Carlin: He Rolled Up To The Shed And Fell Asleep, Almost Before His Buffers Touched The Bar. He Driver Decided To Set Off Early That Evening. Thomas Was Waiting At The Station.
 * Thomas: Thank Goodness I Have A Chance To Speak To You. Driver Says The Person In Charge Of The Mail Has Complained To Sir Topham Hatt About The Delay Last Night.
 * Percy: But That Wasn't My Fault.
 * George Carlin: Replied Percy.
 * Thomas: I Know.
 * George Carlin: Said Thomas.
 * Thomas: And So Does Sir Topham Hatt, But This Mail Person Wouldn't Listen. Tonight, We'll Just Have To Be Quicker Than Ever Before.
 * George Carlin: The Engines Were Just Leaving When They Heard A Familiar Buzzing.
 * Harold: I Say, You 2, There's News Flying About.
 * Percy: Where?
 * George Carlin: Puffed Percy Crossly.
 * Harold: All Other The Place. They're Going To Scrap The Mail Train And Use Me Instead. Wings Work Wonders You Know. Always.
 * Thomas: Rubbish.
 * George Carlin: Huffed Thomas. That Night, Everything Ran Like Clockwork. Thomas And Percy Steamed Through The Stations Making Good Time Everywhere They Went. At A Station, Thomas Notice The Man Looking Cold And Worried. He Had Missed His Train Home.
 * Thomas' Driver: We Can Give You A Ride.
 * George Carlin: Said Thomas' Driver.
 * Thomas' Driver: But It'll Be Rather Uncomfortable.
 * Man: Thank You.
 * George Carlin: Said The Man.
 * Man: Anything's Better Than Sitting Here.
 * George Carlin: The Next Afternoon, Percy Past The Airfield And Saw Harold.
 * Percy: Hello, Lazywings. Are You Too Tired To Fly Today?
 * Harold: The Wings Are Too Strong.
 * George Carlin: Grumbled Harold.
 * Harold: I've Been Grounded.
 * Percy: You Need Rails.
 * George Carlin: Laughed Percy.
 * Percy: They Work Wonders You Know. Always.
 * George Carlin: That Night, Sir Topham Hatt Show The 2 Engines A Letter. It Was From The Man Who Missed His Train.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: He Thinks You Are Both Splendid, And Everyone Says That The Mail Train Is The Pride Of The Line.
 * (Another Nameplate Sequence Occurs And We Begin The Deputation)
 * George Carlin: Snow Came Early To The Island Of Sodor. It Was Heavier Than Usual. Most Engines Hate Snow. Donald And Douglas Were Used To It. Couple Back To Back With The Van Between Their Tenders And The Snowplough In Their Fronts, They Set To Work. They Puffed Backwards And Forwards Patrolling The Line. Generally, The Snow Slipped Away Fiercely, But Sometimes They Found Deeper Drifts. Presently, They Came To A Drift Which Was Larger Than Most. They Charged It, And Were Just Backing For Another Try When...
 * Henry: Help, Help!
 * Douglas: Losh Shakes, Donald! It's Henry! Don't Worry Yourself, Henry! Wait A While! We'll Help You Out!
 * George Carlin: Henry Was Very Grateful. He Saw All Was Not Well. The Twins Were Looking Glum. They Told Him Sir Topham Hatt Was Making A Decision.
 * Donald: He'll Send Us Away For Sure.
 * Percy: It's A Shame.
 * George Carlin: Said Percy.
 * Gordon: A Lot Of Nonsense About A Broken Signalbox.
 * George Carlin: Grumbled Gordon.
 * James: That Spiteful Break Van Too.
 * George Carlin: Put In James.
 * James: Good Riddance. That's What I Say.
 * Henry: The Twins Were Splendid In The Snow.
 * George Carlin: Added Henry.
 * Henry: It Isn't Fair.
 * George Carlin: They All Agreed That Something Must Be Done, But None Knew What. Percy Decided To Talk To Edward About It.
 * Edward: What You Need...
 * George Carlin: Said Edward.
 * Edward: ...Is A Deputation.
 * George Carlin: He Explained What That Was. Percy Ran Back Quickly.
 * Percy: Edward Says We Need A Depostation.
 * Gordon: Of Course.
 * George Carlin: Said Gordon.
 * Gordon: The Question Is...
 * Henry: What Is A Desperation?
 * George Carlin: Asked Henry.
 * Percy: It's When Engines Tell Sir Topham Hatt Something's Wrong.
 * George Carlin: Said Percy.
 * Duck: Did You Say Tell Sir Topham Hatt?
 * George Carlin: Asked Duck Thoughtfully. There Was A Long Silence.
 * Gordon: I Purpose...
 * George Carlin: Said Gordon.
 * Gordon: ...That Percy Be Our...um...Disputation.
 * Percy: Me?!
 * George Carlin: Squeaked Percy.
 * Percy: I Can't!
 * Henry: Rubbish, Percy.
 * George Carlin: Said Henry.
 * Henry: It's Easy.
 * Gordon: That's Settled Then.
 * George Carlin: Said Gordon. Poor Percy Wished It Wasn't.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Hello, Percy. It's Nice To Be Back.
 * George Carlin: Percy Jumped.
 * Percy: Uh, Yes Sir, Please Sir.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: You Look Nervous, Percy. What's The Matter?
 * Percy: Please, Sir, They Made Me A Desperation, Sir, To Speak To You Sir. I Don't Like It, Sir.
 * George Carlin: Sir Topham Hatt Pondered.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Do You Mean A Deputation, Percy?
 * Percy: Yes, Sir, Please Sir. It's Donald And Douglas. They Say, Sir, That If You Send Them Away, Sir, Well, They'll Be Turned To Scrap, Sir. That Would Be Dreadful, Sir. Please, Sir, Don't Send Them Away.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Thank You, Percy. That Will Do.
 * George Carlin: Later, Sir Topham Hatt Spoke To The Engines.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: I Had A Deputation. I Understand Your Feelings And I Give A Lot Of Thought To The Matter.
 * George Carlin: He Paused Impressively.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Donald And Douglas, I Hear That Your Work In The Snow Was Good. You Shall Have A New Coat Of Paint.
 * George Carlin: The Twins Were Surprised.
 * Donald: Thank You, Sir.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: But Your Names Will Be Painted On You. We'll Have No More Mistakes.
 * Douglas: Thank You, Sir. Uh, Does This Mean That The Both Of Us?
 * George Carlin: Sir Topham Hatt Smiled.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: It Means...
 * George Carlin: But The Rest Of His Speech Was Drowned In A Delightful Chorus Of Cheers And Whistles. The Twins Were Here To Stay.
 * (Engines Whistling)
 * (Another Nameplate Sequence Occurs And We Begin Trust Thomas)
 * George Carlin: Thomas The Tank Engine Was Feeling Bright And Cheerful. It Was A Splendid Day.
 * Thomas: Good Morning.
 * George Carlin: He Whistled To Some Cows, But The Cows Didn't Reply.
 * Thomas: Never Mind.
 * George Carlin: Said Thomas.
 * Thomas: They're Busy With Their Breakfast.
 * George Carlin: Next He Saw Bertie.
 * Thomas: Hello, Bertie. Care For A Race Today?
 * George Carlin: But All Bertie Could Say Was...
 * Bertie: Ouch! That's Another Hole In The Road!
 * Thomas: I'm Sorry, Bertie.
 * George Carlin: Smiled Thomas. Thomas Was Still In Good Spirits When Bertie Arrived At The Next Station.
 * Thomas: Bad Luck, Bertie. Now If You're A Steam Engine, You Would Run A Repair On Reliable Rails.
 * Bertie: Huh!
 * George Carlin: Replied Bertie.
 * Bertie: The Railway Was Suppose To Deliver The Tar To Mend The Road 2 Weeks Ago. You Can't Trust A Thing That Runs On Rails.
 * Thomas: I Run On Rails. You Can Trust Me, Bertie. I'll See If I Can Find Out What's Happened.
 * George Carlin: And Thomas Puffed Away Towards The Big Station. James Was Snorting About In The Yard.
 * James: It's Too Bad!
 * George Carlin: He Grumbled.
 * James: Percy Goes To Work At The Harbour And I Do His Job, Here, There And Everywhere! Take That!
 * Freight Cars: Ooh!
 * George Carlin: Groaned The Freight Cars.
 * Freight Cars: Just You Wait, We'll Show You!
 * George Carlin: Gordon Laughed.
 * Gordon: I'll Tell You What, James. If You Pretending To Be ill Everywhere, You Couldn't Freight Cars Here, Or Go To The Quarry There, Could You?
 * James: What A Good Idea.
 * George Carlin: Agreed James.
 * James: Look, Here Comes Thomas. I'll Start Pretending Now.
 * George Carlin: Thomas Was Sorry To See The Engines Looking Miserable.
 * Thomas: Cheer Up.
 * George Carlin: He Puffed.
 * Thomas: It's A Beautiful Day.
 * Gordon: Yes.
 * George Carlin: Grumbled Gordon.
 * Gordon: But Not For James.
 * Thomas: What's The Matter?
 * George Carlin: Asked Thomas.
 * Gordon: He's Sick.
 * George Carlin: Replied Gordon.
 * James: Yes He Is. I Mean I Am.
 * George Carlin: Stuttered James.
 * James: I Don't Feel Well At All.
 * Thomas: Don't Worry.
 * George Carlin: Said Thomas Kindly.
 * Thomas: I'll Help Out If You're ill.
 * George Carlin: Gordon And James Sniggered Quietly To Each Other. Some Of James' Cars Were Coupled Behind Thomas And He Steamed Away To The Quarry. The Cars Were Still Cross.
 * Freight Cars: We Couldn't Pay James Back For Bumping Us, So We'll Play Tricks On Thomas Instead. 1 Engine Is As Good As Another.
 * George Carlin: But Thomas Didn't Hear Them. He Collected All The Stone From The Quarry And Set Off Back To The Junction. Danger Lay Ahead.
 * Freight Cars: Now For Our Plan!
 * George Carlin: Giggled The Cars.
 * Freight Cars: Go Faster, Go Faster!
 * George Carlin: They Pushed Thomas Over The Switches.
 * Thomas' Driver: Slowdown!
 * George Carlin: Called Thomas' Driver And Applied The Brakes.
 * (Thomas Hits The Buffers, And A Log Snaps Apart, Sending Him Floating Into Another Set Of Buffers)
 * George Carlin: Poor Thomas Stood Dazed And Surprised In The Muddy Pool, As A Toad Eyed In Suspiciously.
 * Thomas: Bust My Buffers.
 * George Carlin: Muttered Thomas.
 * Thomas: The Day Started So Well Too.
 * George Carlin: Duck Pulled Away The Cars, And Edward Helped Thomas Back To The Junction. Suddenly, Thomas Remembered The Missing Tar. He Told Edward All About Him.
 * Edward: That's Strange.
 * George Carlin: Said Edward.
 * Edward: A Car Full Of Tar Been Left In My Station. That Must Be It. Driver Will Make Sure It Gets To Bertie Now.
 * George Carlin: Later, James Spoke To Thomas.
 * James: I'm Sorry About Your Accident.
 * George Carlin: He Muttered.
 * James: And So Is Gordon. We Didn't Mean To Get You Into Trouble.
 * Gordon: No Indeed.
 * George Carlin: Spluttered Gordon.
 * Gordon: A Near Misunderstanding, Thomas. All's Wend That Ends Well.
 * George Carlin: Just Then Bertie Arrived. He Looked Much More Cheerful.
 * Bertie: My Road's Being Mended Now.
 * Thomas: Oh, I Am Glad.
 * George Carlin: Replied Thomas.
 * Bertie: Thanks For All You Did.
 * George Carlin: Added Bertie.
 * Bertie: Now I Know I Can Trust An Engine Especially His Name Was Thomas.
 * George Carlin: Gordon And James Puffed Silently Away To The Shed, But Thomas Still Had Company.
 * Thomas: Well, Well.
 * George Carlin: He Sighed.
 * Thomas: What A Day For Surprises.
 * George Carlin: The Toad Who Was Looking Forward To Arrive Home Noisily Agreed.
 * (Another Nameplate Sequence Occurs And We Begin Mavis)
 * George Carlin: Mavis Is A Diesel Engine Who Works At The Quarry Company Shunting Freight Cars In Their Sidings. She Has 6 Small Wheels Hidden By Sideplates Just Like Toby's. Mavis Is Young And Full Of Her Own Ideas. She Loves Rearranging Things Too And Began Putting Toby's Cars In Different Places Everyday. This Made Toby Cross.
 * Toby: Freight Cars...
 * George Carlin: He Grumbled.
 * Toby: ...Should Be Where You Want Them When You Want Them.
 * Mavis: Fiddlesticks!
 * George Carlin: Said Mavis And Flounced Away. At Last, Toby Lost Patience.
 * Toby: I Can't Waste Time Playing "Hunt The Cars" With You. Take Them Yourself.
 * George Carlin: Mavis Was Pleased. Taking Cars Made Her Feel Important. At The Station, Diesel Oiled Up To Her.
 * Mavis: Toby's An Old Fusspot.
 * George Carlin: She Complained. Diesel Sensed Trouble And Was Delighted.
 * Mavis: Toby Says Only Steam Engines Can Manage Freight Cars.
 * George Carlin: Continued Mavis.
 * Diesel: How Obsered.
 * George Carlin: Squirmed Diesel.
 * Diesel: Depend Upon It, Mavis. Anything Steam Engines Can Do, We Diesels Can Do Better.
 * George Carlin: Diesel Knew About The Cars, But Mavis Didn't Realize This. Toby's Line Crosses The Main Road Behind The Station, And For A Short Way Follows A Farm Lane. Frosty Weather Makes The Mud Rock-Hard And Very Slippery. Toby Stops Before Reaching The Lane. His Fireman Halts The Traffic At The Crossing And Then He Sets Off Again. By Using The Heavy Cars To Push Him Along, He Has No Trouble With The Frosty Rails And The Lane And Across The Road. It Is The Only Thing Safe Thing To Do In This Kind Of Weather. Toby Warned Mavis And Told Her Just What To Do.
 * Mavis: I Can Manage, Thank You.
 * George Carlin: She Replied.
 * Mavis: I'm Not An Old Fusspot Like You.
 * George Carlin: The Freight Cars Were Tired Of Being Pushed Around By Mavis.
 * Freight Cars: It's Slippery.
 * George Carlin: They Whispered.
 * Freight Cars: Let's Push Her Around Instead. On, On, On!
 * George Carlin: They Yelled. Mavis Took No Notice. Instead, She Brought The Cars Carefully Down The Lane And Stopped At The Level Crossing. (Terence And Bertie Arrived) All Traffic Halted.
 * Mavis: 1 In The Headlamp For Fusspot Toby.
 * George Carlin: Chortled Mavis. But Mavis Had Stopped In The Wrong Place. Instead Of Taking Toby's Advice, She Had Given The Cars The Chance They Wanted.
 * Freight Cars: Hold Back! Hold Back!
 * George Carlin: They Cried.
 * Mavis: Grrrr up!
 * George Carlin: Ordered Mavis. The Cars Just Laughed And Her Wheels Spun Helplessly. Workmen Sanded The Rails And Dig Away The Frozen Mud, But It Was No Good. Everyone Was Impatient.
 * Mavis: Grrrr agh!
 * George Carlin: Wailed Mavis. Toby Was In The Yard When He Heard The News.
 * Toby: I Warned Her.
 * George Carlin: He Fumed.
 * Toby's Driver: She's Young Yet.
 * George Carlin: Soothed His Driver.
 * Toby's Driver: And...
 * Toby: She Can Manage Her Cars Herself.
 * George Carlin: Interrupted Toby.
 * Toby's Driver: They're Your Cars Really.
 * George Carlin: His Driver Replied.
 * Toby's Driver: Mavis Is Suppose To Stay At The Quarry If Sir Topham Hatt Finds Out.
 * Toby: Mmmm, Yes.
 * George Carlin: Said Toby Thoughtfully. He And His Driver Agreed That'll Be Best To Help Mavis After All. An Angry Farmer Was Telling Mavis Just What She Could Do With Her Train.
 * Toby: Having Trouble, Mavis?
 * George Carlin: Chortled Toby.
 * Toby: I Am Surprised.
 * Mavis: Grrrr osh!
 * George Carlin: Said Mavis.
 * (Toby Starts To Couple Mavis)
 * George Carlin: With Much Puffing And Wheels Slipped, Toby Pushed Mavis And The Freight Cars Back. The Hard Work Made His Fire Burn Fiercely, And His Fireman Spread Hot Cinders To Melt The Frozen Mud.
 * (Toby Pushes Mavis And The Cars All The Way To The Top)
 * George Carlin: At Last They Finished.
 * Toby: Goodbye!
 * George Carlin: Called Toby.
 * Toby: You'll Managed Now, I Expect.
 * George Carlin: Mavis Didn't Answer. She Took The Cars To The Sheds, And Scuttled Home To The Quarry As Quickly As She Could.
 * (Another Nameplate Sequence Occurs And We Begin Toby's Tightrope)
 * George Carlin: One Day, Percy Arrived In A Quarry To Collect Some Stone For His Freight Cars. Snow And Frost Lay Everywhere. There Was Not A Sound To Be Heard. Percy Ventured Further. He Found Mavis The New Diesel Engine Resting In The Shelter Of Some Rocks.
 * Percy: Cheer Up, Mavis.
 * George Carlin: He Whistled. Mavis Was Still Remembering The Trouble She Had With Cars.
 * Mavis: Manager Says I Don't Listen For His Advice. He Says I'd No Business Chortling Down Toby's Line. Toby's A Fusspot.
 * Percy: Toby Has Forgotten All About Freight Cars Than You'll Ever Known.
 * George Carlin: Replied Percy.
 * Percy: You Must Put The Cars Where He Wants Them, Then You'll Be A Really Useful Engine. Now If You Excuse Me, I Have To Take These Stones To The Harbour.
 * George Carlin: Mavis Likes Percy But She Still Wouldn't To His Advice.
 * Mavis: Why Shouldn't I Go On Toby's Line.
 * George Carlin: The Sidings Arrangements Are Awkward. The Put The Cars Where Toby Wanted Them, Mavis Had To Make Several Journeys. She Started Making A Plan.
 * Mavis: If We Used The Key Stood On Toby's Line.
 * George Carlin: She Said To Her Driver.
 * Mavis: We Would Save All Was Bother.
 * George Carlin: Her Driver Suspecting Nothing Allow Them To Go As Far As The Level Crossing. A Few Days Later, The Weather Changed. As The Soon Melted, The Quarry Grew Busy Again. Some Trains Were So Long That Before Leaving The Cars For Toby, Mavis Had To Go Beyond The Level Crossing With Them. Now For Her Plan. She Would Go Further Down The Line Without It Seeming Her Fault.
 * Mavis: Can You Keep A Secret?
 * George Carlin: She Asked The Freight Cars.
 * Cars: Yes, Yes, Yes!
 * George Carlin: They Chattered.
 * Mavis: Will You Bump Me At The Level Crossing And Tell No-One I Ask You?
 * George Carlin: The Cars Promised. But While Mavis Was Away, Toby Arrived. He Decided To Shunt The Cars Himself. The Cars Decided To Bump Him Anyway. They Reached The Level Crossing And Toby's Brakes Came On. This Was The Signal For The Freight Cars.
 * Cars: On, On, On!
 * George Carlin: They Yelled. Toby Was Away. With The Cars Screaming And Yelling Behind Him. No-One Realize That Melted Snow Had Turned A Stream Ahead Into A Torrent And The Bridge Above It Was About To Collapse. The Rails Were Now Like A Tightrope Against The Thundering Water.
 * Toby: Stop, Stop!
 * George Carlin: Cried Toby. His Driver Thought For Control. They Came Nearer And Nearer By The Bridge. It Was All Of Nothing Now. The Driver Braked Hard.
 * (Toby Reaches The Broken Bridge)
 * George Carlin: Toby Stopped Still On The Rails But With His Wheels Shredding The Tightrope Over The Abyss. Mavis Was Horrified And Quickly Came To The Rescue. Workmen Anchored Toby With Ropes While She Pulled The Freight Cars Away. Then, She Helped Toby To Safety.
 * (Mavis Rescuing Toby)
 * Mavis: I'm Sorry About The Cars.
 * George Carlin: Said Mavis.
 * Mavis: I Can't Think How You Manage To Stop Them In Time.
 * Toby: Oh Well.
 * George Carlin: Sighed Toby.
 * Toby: My Driver Told Me About Circus People Who Walked Tightropes, But I Just Didn't Fancy Doing It Myself.
 * George Carlin: Later, Sir Topham Hatt Arrived.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: A Very Smart Piece Of Work.
 * George Carlin: He Said.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Mavis, You Did Well Too I Hear.
 * Mavis: It Was My Fault About Those Cars, Sir.
 * George Carlin: She Faulted.
 * Mavis: But If I Could...
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Could What?
 * Mavis: Come Down The Line Sometimes, Sir? Toby Says He'll Show Me What To Do.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Certainly.
 * George Carlin: Replied Sir Topham Hatt.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: If Your Manager Agrees.
 * George Carlin: And So It Was Arranged. Now Mavis Is As Happy As Can Be, And Sir Topham Hatt Thinks She's Really Useful Indeed.
 * (Another Nameplate Sequence Occurs And We Begin Edward, Trevor And The Really Useful Party)
 * George Carlin: Trevor The Traction Engine Was Old-Fashioned But He Doesn't Care. He Knows That He Is Really Useful, Like His Friend Edward The Blue Engine. Early One Morning, Trevor Was Chuffing About The Vicarage Orchard. He Had Important News For Edward.
 * Trevor: The Vicar Says That Not All Children Are Able To Have Holidays By The Sea, So He's Having A Garden Party To Raise Money For His Seaside Trip. I'm Going To Be The Star Attraction.
 * George Carlin: Chattered Trevor.
 * Trevor: Giving Rides To All The Visitors. The Vicar Is Putting Up Posters All About It.
 * Edward: I'd Like To Help Too.
 * George Carlin: Sighed Edward.
 * Edward: But Without My Rails, I Wouldn't Be Much Good At The Garden Party.
 * George Carlin: It Was A Beautiful Day But Edward Was Worried.
 * Edward: I Wish There Was Something I Can Do For A Party.
 * George Carlin: He Said.
 * Edward: I'd Like To Be Helpful Like Trevor.
 * George Carlin: Edward's Driver Laughed.
 * Driver: You're Helpful In Your Own Way, And That's On The Railway.
 * George Carlin: Next Day, It Was Trevor's Turn To Look Disappointed. He Had Bad News.
 * Trevor: The Vicar's Been So Busy That He Forgot To Put Up The Posters. Now No One Will Know About The Party.
 * George Carlin: But Edward Had An Idea.
 * Edward: Don't Worry.
 * George Carlin: He Said.
 * Edward: Everything Is Going To Be All Right.
 * George Carlin: Then He Explained To His Driver.
 * Edward: The Vicar Can Paste His Posters On My Cab And Coaches, So Wherever I Go, They'll Go Too.
 * Driver: Well Done, Edward.
 * George Carlin: Said His Driver.
 * Driver: I'm Sure Sir Topham Hatt Would Agree.
 * George Carlin: As Indeed He Did. Edward Steamed Happily To The Stations Collecting His Passengers.
 * Passengers: Look!
 * George Carlin: They Said.
 * Passengers: The Vicar Is Holding A Party. We Must Go Do That.
 * George Carlin: Later Trevor Was Resting In The Orchard Shed When Bertie Rolled By.
 * Bertie: Hello, Trevor. Why Are You Dozing There Like An Old Stick-In-The-Mud?
 * Trevor: I'm Not Dozing, I'm Resting.
 * George Carlin: Replied Trevor. Then He Told Bertie About The Vicar's Party.
 * Bertie: I'll Be There Too.
 * George Carlin: Boasted Bertie.
 * Bertie: I'm Not Sure People Would Wanna Ride On An Old Traction Engine After Traveling In The Smart Red Bus Like Me.
 * George Carlin: The Party Day Arrived. It Had Rained Heavenly During The Night And The Orchard Grove Was Soaked.
 * Trevor: Rain And Mud Won't Spoil My Day.
 * George Carlin: Said Trevor.
 * Driver: No Indeed.
 * George Carlin: Agreed His Driver.
 * Driver: We'll Stay On The Road Then We Won't Get Bogged Down.
 * George Carlin: Trevor Was Soon Busy Trending Up And Down The Quiet Country Lane, Carrying Lots Of Laughing Children. He Was Just Turning The Corner When He Heard Bertie.
 * Bertie: Hello, Old Timer. I'm Taking Everyone To The Party. People Had Come From All Other The Island.
 * George Carlin: Trevor Gave Bertie A Cheerful Whistle, And Turned Backed Toward The Orchard. Then There Was Trouble.
 * Bertie: Help, I'm Stuck!
 * George Carlin: Shouted Bertie. His Wheels Had Sunk Deep In The Orchard Mud. Terence The Tractor Arrived Just In Time.
 * Terence: I'm The One Who Has To Plough Fields.
 * George Carlin: Laughed Terence.
 * Terence: We Better Get You Out Of Here.
 * George Carlin: Using Strong Ropes, Terence And Trevor Pulled Bertie Cleared The Mud.
 * Trevor: This Will Teach Bertie A Thing Or Two.
 * George Carlin: Trevor Chuffered To Himself. At Last, Bertie Was On The Road Again.
 * Bertie: Thank You, Trevor. You're Not A Stick-In-The-Mud At All.
 * Trevor: No.
 * George Carlin: Smiled Trevor.
 * Trevor: But You Were. Just For A Little While.
 * George Carlin: That Evening, The Vicar Arrived To See Edward And His Driver.
 * Vicar: Thanks To Your Good Idea About The Posters. 100s Of People Payed To Come To The Party. We've Raised Lots Of Money For The Children.
 * George Carlin: Edward Was Very Pleased And Trevor Fell Happily Asleep Thinking Of All The Children Who Would Now Get To The Seaside At Last.
