 * George Carlin: Sir Handel Is Very Proud Of His Big Sturdy Wheels. They Have Brought Tires And Whole Wells To The Rails. But They Are Unusual. One Day, The Other Engines Wouldn't Stop Teasing Him.
 * Engines: Look At His Steamroller Wheels.
 * George Carlin: They Joked.
 * Sir Handel: Be Quiet.
 * George Carlin: Snorted Sir Handel.
 * Sir Handel: You're Jealous.
 * Peter Sam: Don't Worry.
 * George Carlin: Soothed Peter Sam.
 * Peter Sam: The Engines All Teased Me About My Special Funnel Until They Learned How Useful It Is.
 * Sir Handel: Did You Hear That?
 * George Carlin: Huffed Sir Handel.
 * Sir Handel: My Wheels Are Special Like Peter Sam's Funnel. I Can Go Faster Than Any Of You.
 * George Carlin: Skarloey Had A Plan To Make Sir Handel See Sense.
 * Skarloey: With Your Grand Wheels, Sir Handel.
 * George Carlin: Said Skarloey.
 * Skarloey: You're Just The Engine To Tackle George.
 * Sir Handel: Who's George?
 * Skarloey: That Steamroller Over There.
 * George Carlin: Replied Skarloey.
 * Skarloey: Listen.
 * George Carlin: The Steamroller Was Making Rude Remarks About The Engines.
 * George: Railways Are No Good. Turn Them Into Roads. Pull Them Up, Turn Them Into Roads. Railways Are No Good. Turn Them Into Roads. Pull Them Up, Turn Them Into Roads.
 * Sir Handel: Don't Worry.
 * George Carlin: Said Sir Handel.
 * Sir Handel: Leave Him To Me. I'll Send Him Packing. George Will Soon Get A Run For His Money.
 * George Carlin: Later That Morning, George Was At The Level Crossing.
 * George: Huh! You're Sir Handel, I Suppose.
 * George Carlin: Sir Handel Was Standing No Nonsense.
 * Sir Handel: And You, I Suppose, Are George? Yes, I've Heard Of You.
 * George: And I've Heard Of You. You Swank Around With Your Steamroller Wheels, Pretending You're As Good As Me.
 * Sir Handel: Actually, I'm Better. Goodbye.
 * George Carlin: George Chuffered On, Fuming. Later That Day, Sir Handel Brought A Special Load Down After The Last Train Had Gone. When He Had Reached The Road He Saw George Travelling Home. Sir Handel Tried To Attract His Attention.
 * Sir Handel: Peep, Peep, Peep!
 * George Carlin: George Took No Notice. There Was Barely Room To Pass. Sir Handel Was Cross.
 * Sir Handel: Get Out Of My Way, You Great Clumsy Road Hog.
 * George: Huh! I Don't Move For Imitation Steamrollers. You Don't Know The Road. Get Out Of My Way.
 * George Carlin: Then There Was Trouble.
 * (George Destroys Sir Handel's Train)
 * Sir Handel: Aagh!
 * George Carlin: Cried Sir Handel.
 * Sir Handel: That Was Your Fault.
 * George: No It Wasn't It Was Yours.
 * George Carlin: Everyone Was Arguing About Who Was To Blame.
 * (We Hear The Ringing Of The Bike's Bell)
 * Policeman: Hello, Hello, Hello.
 * George Carlin: Said A Policeman Ominously.
 * Policeman: And What's Going On Here?
 * George Carlin: This Made Everyone Stop Arguing. They Set To Work Clearing Up The Mess Instead. Next Day, The Workmen Put Up A Fence Between The Road And The Railway. Then They Went Away, Taking George With Him. Sir Handel Thought He Had Made George Go Away. He Talked Of Nothing But Steamrollers.
 * Skarloey: Oh, Dear.
 * George Carlin: Whispered Skarloey.
 * Skarloey: He's Worse Than Ever. I'm Sorry My Plan Was No Good.
 * Rusty: Never Mind.
 * George Carlin: Said Rusty.
 * Rusty: We'll Think Of Something Else.
 * George Carlin: But They Had No Need To Do That. Some Boys Arrived Instead. They Pointed To The Engine And Cried...
 * Boy: Look! Here's Sir Handel. He Tried To Race A Steamroller, But The Steam Roller Nearly Beat Him.
 * George Carlin: Sir Handel Never Mention Steamrollers Now.
 * (A Nameplate Sequence Occurs And We Begin Old Iron)
 * George Carlin: One Day, James Have To Wait At The Station Till Edward And His Train Came In. This Made Him Cross.
 * James: Late Again!
 * George Carlin: Edward Laughed And James Fumed Again. After James Had Finished His Work, He Went Back To The Yard, And Puffed On To The Turntable. He Was Still Feeling Very Bad Tempered.
 * James: Edward Is Impossible!
 * George Carlin: He Grumbled To The Others.
 * James: He Clanks About Like A Lot Of "Old Iron" And He Is So Slow, He Makes Us Wait!
 * George Carlin: Thomas And Percy Were Indigent.
 * Percy: Old Iron!? Slow!?
 * Thomas: Why, Edward Could Beat You In A Race Any Day!
 * James: Really?!
 * George Carlin: Said James.
 * James: I Should Like To See Him Do It.
 * George Carlin: Next Morning, James' Driver Was Suddenly Taking ill. He Could Hardly Stand, So The Fireman Uncoupled James Ready For Shunting. James Was Impatient. Suddenly, The Signalman Shouted. There Was James Puffing Away Down The Line.
 * Signalman: All Traffic Halted!
 * George Carlin: Called The Signalman. Then He Told The Fireman What Had Happened.
 * Signalman: 2 Boys Were On James' Footplate Fiddling With The Controls.
 * Fireman: Whew.
 * Signalman: They Tumbled Off And Ran When James Started.
 * (Phone Rings)
 * George Carlin: The Signalman Answered The Telephone.
 * Signalman: Yes? He's Here? Right, I'll Tell Him. The Inspector's Coming At Once. He Wants A Shunter's Pole And A Coil Of Wire Rope.
 * Fireman: What For?
 * George Carlin: Wondered The Fireman.
 * Signalman: Search Me, But You Better Get Them Quickly.
 * George Carlin: The Fireman Was Ready When Edward Arrived. The Inspector Saw The Pole And A Rope.
 * Inspector: Good Man, Jump In.
 * Edward: We'll Catch Him, We'll Catch Him.
 * George Carlin: Puffed Edward. James Was Laughing.
 * James: What A Lark! What A Lark!
 * George Carlin: He Chuckled To Himself. Suddenly, He Was Going Faster And Faster. He Realized That He Had No Driver.
 * James: What Shall I Do? I Can't Stop! Help! Help!
 * Edward: We're Coming, We're Coming!
 * George Carlin: Called Edward. Edward Was Panting Up Behind With Every Ounce Of Steam He Had. At Last, He Caught Up With James.
 * Edward's Driver: Steady, Edward.
 * George Carlin: Called His Driver. The Inspector Stood On Edward's Front Holding A Noose Of Rope In The Crook Of The Shunter's Pole. He Was Trying To Slip It Over James' Buffer. The Engines Swayed And Lurched. At Last...
 * Inspector: Got Him!
 * George Carlin: He Shouted. He Pulled The Noose Tight. Gently Braking, Edward's Driver Checked The Engines' Speed, And James' Fireman Scrambled Across And Took Control.
 * Edward: So The "Old Iron" Caught You After All.
 * George Carlin: Chuckled Edward.
 * James: I'm Sorry.
 * George Carlin: Whispered James.
 * James: Thank You For Saving Me. You Were Splendid, Edward.
 * Edward: That's All Right.
 * George Carlin: Replied Edward. The Engines Arrived At The Station Side By Side. Sir Topham Hatt Was Waiting.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: A Fine Piece Of Work.
 * George Carlin: He Said.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: James, You Can Rest, And Then Take Your Train. I'm Proud Of You, Edward. You Shall Go To The Works And Have Your Worn Parts Mended.
 * Edward: Oh, Thank You, Sir.
 * George Carlin: Said Edward.
 * Edward: It'll Be Lovely Not To Clank.
 * (Another Nameplate Sequence Occurs And We Begin Double Trouble)
 * George Carlin: It Was A Beautiful Morning On The Island Of Sodor. Thomas The Tank Engine's Blue Paint Sparkled In A Sunshine As He Puffed Happily Along His Branch Line With Annie And Clarabel. He Was Feeling Very Pleased With Himself.
 * Percy: Hello, Thomas.
 * George Carlin: Whistled Percy.
 * Percy: You Look Splendid.
 * Thomas: Yes Indeed.
 * George Carlin: Boasted Thomas.
 * Thomas: Blue Is The Only Proper Color For An Engine.
 * Toby: Oh, I Don't Know. I Like My Brown Paint.
 * George Carlin: Said Toby.
 * Percy: I've Always Been Green. I Wouldn't Want To Be Any Other Color Either.
 * George Carlin: Added Percy.
 * Thomas: Well, Well, Anyway.
 * George Carlin: Huffed Thomas.
 * Thomas: Blue Is The Only Color For A Really Useful Engine. Anyone Knows That.
 * George Carlin: Percy Said No More. He Just Grinned At Toby. Later, Thomas Was Resting When Percy Arrived. A Large Hopper Was Loading His Freight Cars Full Of Coal. Thomas Was Still Being Cheeky.
 * Thomas: Careful.
 * George Carlin: He Warned.
 * Thomas: Watch Out With Those Silly Cars.
 * Cars: Go On, Go On!
 * George Carlin: Muttered The Cars.
 * Thomas: And By The Way.
 * George Carlin: Went On Thomas.
 * Thomas: Those Buffers Don't Look Really Safe To Me.
 * George Carlin: The Last Load Poured Down.
 * Thomas: Help, Help!
 * George Carlin: Cried Thomas.
 * Thomas: Get Me Out!
 * George Carlin: Percy Was Worried, But He Couldn't Help Laughing. Thomas' Smart Blue Paint Was Covered In Coal Dust From Smokebox To Bunker.
 * Percy: Ha, Ha!
 * George Carlin: Chuckled Percy.
 * Percy: You Don't Look Really Useful Now, Thomas. You Look Really Disgraceful.
 * Thomas: I'm Not Disgraceful.
 * George Carlin: Choked Thomas.
 * Thomas: You Did That On Purpose. Get Me Out!
 * George Carlin: It Took So Long To Clean Thomas That He Wasn't It Time For His Next Train. Toby Had To Take Annie And Clarabel.
 * Annie: Poor Thomas.
 * George Carlin: Whispered Annie To Clarabel. They Were Most Upset. Thomas Was Grumpy In The Shed That Night. Toby Thought It Made A Great Joke, But Percy Was Cross With Thomas For Thinking He Had Made His Paint Dirty On Purpose.
 * Percy: Fancy A Really Useful Blue Engine Like Thomas Becoming A Disgrace To Sir Topham Hatt's Railway.
 * George Carlin: Next Day, Thomas Was Feeling More Cheerful, As He Watch Percy Bring His Cars From The Junction. The Cars Were Heavy And Percy Was Tired.
 * Driver: Have A Drink.
 * George Carlin: Said His Driver.
 * Driver: Then You'll Feel Better.
 * George Carlin: The Water Column Stood At The End Of The Siding With The Unsafe Buffers. Suddenly, Percy Found That He Couldn't Stop. The Buffers Didn't Stop Him Either.
 * Percy: Ooh!
 * George Carlin: Wailed Percy.
 * Percy: Help!
 * (Percy Falls Into The Deep Coal)
 * George Carlin: The Buffers Were Broken And Percy Was Wheel Deep In Coal. It Was Time For Thomas To Leave. He Had Seen Everything.
 * Thomas: Now Percy Has Learned His Lesson Too.
 * George Carlin: He Chuckled To Himself. That Night, The 2 Engines Made Up Their Quarrel.
 * Percy: I Didn't Cause Your Accident On Purpose, Thomas.
 * George Carlin: Whispered Percy.
 * Percy: You Do Know That, Don't You?
 * Thomas: Of Course.
 * George Carlin: Replied Thomas.
 * Thomas: And I'm Sorry I Teased You. Your Green Paint Look Splendid Again Too. In Future, We're Both Be More Careful Of Coal.
 * (Another Nameplate Sequence Occurs And We Begin Passengers And Polish)
 * George Carlin: Nancy Is The Conductor's Daughter. One Day She Was Working With Skarloey With Some Polish And A Rag. Skarloey Was Snoozing Happily But Nancy Wanted To Talk.
 * Nancy: Wake Up, Lazybones. Your Brass Is Filthy. Aren't You Ashamed?
 * Skarloey: No.
 * George Carlin: Yawned Skarloey.
 * Skarloey: You're Just An Old Fusspot.
 * George Carlin: And Skarloey Closed His Eyes. He Was Thinking About His Friend Rheneas, And All The Good Times They Had Shared Before Rheneas Was Away To Be Mended. Nancy Interrupted Again.
 * Nancy: Don't You Wanna Look Nice When Rheneas Comes Home?
 * George Carlin: Skarloey Wasn't Sleepy Anymore?
 * Skarloey: What? When?
 * Nancy: Soon, Daddy Told Me. I'm Going Now.
 * George Carlin: She Said.
 * Skarloey: Nancy, Stop. Do I Really Look Nice? Please, Polish Me Again.
 * Nancy: Now Who's An Old Fusspot?
 * George Carlin: Laughed Nancy And Set To Work Once Time. Duncan Was Jealous.
 * Duncan: Aren't You Gonna Polish Me Too?
 * Nancy: Sorry, Not Today. I'm Going Now. I'm Helping The Refreshment Lady This Afternoon. We Must Get The Ice Cream Ready For The Passengers. Never Mind, Duncan.
 * George Carlin: But Duncan Did Mind.
 * Duncan: It Isn't Fair!
 * George Carlin: He Complained.
 * Duncan: Peter Sam Gets A Special Funnel, Sir Handel Gets Special Wheels, Passengers Get Ice Cream, But I'm Not Even Polished.
 * George Carlin: Of Course This Wasn't True, But Duncan Enjoyed Complaining. He Became Sulkier Still. That Afternoon, There Was Bad News Above The Line.
 * Driver: 1 Of Skarloey's Coaches Has Come Off The Rails.
 * George Carlin: Called Duncan's Driver.
 * Driver: We'll Have To Take Workmen Here Right Away.
 * Duncan: All This Extra Work!
 * George Carlin: Grumbled Duncan.
 * Duncan: It Wear's An Engine Out!
 * Driver: Rubbish! Come On!
 * George Carlin: The Derailed Coach Was In The Middle Of Skarloey's Train, So He Had Gone Out Top The Top Station With His Front Coaches. Duncan Shunted The Work's Trains To The Sidings And Left The Workmen Sorted Out The Mess. Then He Brought The Passengers And Rear Coaches Home. He Sulked All The Way.
 * Duncan: I Get No Rest, I Get No Rest.
 * George Carlin: He Muttered. Duncan Had Made A Journey Very Difficult. He Was Short Of Steam So His Driver Waited A While And Hope Of Raising More. But Duncan Wouldn't Try.
 * Driver: We'll Keep Our Passengers Waiting.
 * George Carlin: Said His Driver. Duncan Was Cross.
 * Duncan: You Always Think About The Passengers And Never About Me!
 * George Carlin: It Wasn't Long Before Duncan Built Up Enough Steam To Set Off Again. But He Was Still Very Grumpy And Cross.
 * Duncan: I'm Overworked, And I Won't Stand It!
 * George Carlin: At Last They Reached The Viaduct Near The Station.
 * Driver: Come On, Duncan!
 * George Carlin: Called His Driver.
 * Driver: 1 More Effort, And You'll Have A Rest And Drink In The Station.
 * George Carlin: Then Duncan Was Very Rude.
 * Duncan: Keep Your Old Station. I'm Staying Here.
 * George Carlin: And He Did Too. Skarloey Had To Haul Duncan And His Train All The Way To The Platform. The Passengers Were Furious. They Told Everyone What A Bad Railway It Was.
 * (Passengers Arguing)
 * Man: We're Losing Money!
 * George Carlin: That Night, Sir Topham Hatt Spoke To Duncan.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: No Passengers Means No Polish.
 * Duncan: And No Polish Means No Passengers.
 * George Carlin: Duncan Muttered To Himself. He Still Has A Lot To Learn, Doesn't He?
 * (Another Nameplate Sequence Occurs And We Begin Gallant Old Engine)
 * George Carlin: Duncan Would Not Stop Grumbling. He Grumbled That He Wasn't Polished Enough. He Grumbled That He Was Overworked. Most Of All, He Grumbled About The Passengers.
 * Skarloey: I'm Ashamed Of You, Duncan.
 * George Carlin: Said Skarloey.
 * Skarloey: Thank Goodness Rheneas Was Coming Home Soon. Perhaps He'll Teach You Some Sense Before It's Too Late.
 * Duncan: What Is With Rheneas To Do With Me?
 * Skarloey: Rheneas Saved Our Railway.
 * George Carlin: Replied Skarloey.
 * Peter Sam: Please Tell Us About It.
 * George Carlin: Said Peter Sam.
 * Skarloey: Well.
 * George Carlin: Began Skarloey.
 * Skarloey: It Was Before You Came Here. Things Were Bad. Rheneas And I Will Have To Keep The Trains Running Or I'll Railway Will Have To Close.
 * Peter Sam: How Awful.
 * George Carlin: Murmured Peter Sam.
 * Skarloey: I've Tried Hard.
 * George Carlin: Continued Skarloey.
 * Skarloey: But My Old Wheels Ached. Rheneas Understood.
 * Rheneas: It's My Turn Now.
 * Skarloey: He Tell Me. He Was Often Short Of Steam But He Always Struggled To The Station And Then Rested There.
 * Rheneas: I Mustn't Stop Between Stations.
 * George Carlin: He'd Say.
 * Rheneas: The Passengers Wouldn't Like It.
 * Duncan: Humph!
 * George Carlin: Huffed Duncan. He Had Stopped On The Viaduct And Hadn't Cared At All.
 * Skarloey: Passengers...
 * George Carlin: Continued Skarloey.
 * Skarloey: ...Get Cross If You Stopped On The Wrong Places. Rheneas Stopped On The Wrong Place Once And This Is What Happened.
 * George Carlin: One Wet And Windy Afternoon And The Rails Were Dammed, Rheneas Was Travelling Home With A Full Train. They Were Even Passengers And The Caboose. It Wasn't A Comfortable Ride At All. Rheneas' Wheels Kept Slipping And It Was A Steep Climb. At Last, His Wheels Gripped The Rails Again.
 * Rheneas: The Worse Was Over.
 * George Carlin: He Thought.
 * Rheneas: Now We're Away.
 * George Carlin: But They Weren't.
 * Rheneas: Aah, I've Got A Cramp!
 * George Carlin: He Groaned. And Rheneas Stopped On The Loneliness Part Of The Line. His Driver Examined Him Carefully.
 * Driver: Your Valve Gear Has Jammed. We Need To Reach The Next Station. Do You Think You Still Get Us Here?
 * Rheneas: I'll Try.
 * George Carlin: Replied Rheneas. Rheneas Did His Best.
 * Rheneas: If I Fail.
 * George Carlin: He Thought To Himself.
 * Rheneas: The Passengers Will Be Cross And The Railway Will Close.
 * George Carlin: Everything Blurred. He Was Really Too Tired To Make The Turn Of His Wheels, But He Did, And Another, And Another, And Another. Finally, Tried But Triumph, Rheneas Reached The Station.
 * Rheneas: I'm Here At Last!
 * George Carlin: He Wheezed.
 * Passengers: Thank You For Giving Us Home.
 * George Carlin: Said The Passengers.
 * Passengers: We'll Tell All Our Friends What A Fine Railway This Is.
 * George Carlin: His Driver Was Delighted.
 * Driver: You're A Gallant Little Engine.
 * George Carlin: He Said To Rheneas.
 * Driver: When You're Rested We'll Mend You, So You'll Be Ready For Tomorrow.
 * Skarloey: And...
 * George Carlin: Smiled Skarloey.
 * Skarloey: Rheneas Always Was Ready For Tomorrow.
 * Duncan: Thanks For Telling Us About Him.
 * George Carlin: Whispered Duncan.
 * Duncan: I Was Wrong. Passengers Are Important After All.
 * George Carlin: The Next Day Rheneas Came Home. All The Engines Were There To Greet Him. Edward Push His Truck To The Siding Where He Was Lifted On To His Rails. This Was The Signal For A Chorus Of Whistles From Engines Large And Small. Everyone Was Happy And Rheneas Was The Happiest Of All.
 * Rheneas: You Know.
 * George Carlin: He Whispered To Skarloey.
 * Rheneas: This Helps An Engine Feel That At Last He Has Really Come Home.
