 * (We Then See The Thomas Season 3 Intro 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 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 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: Thank Goodness! I'm Oliver And I'm With My Break Van, Toad, We've Ran 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 Has To Look Those You're Ready To Scrap But I'm Taking You Away.
 * George Carlin: Their Drivers And Fireman 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 They're 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.
 * (A Nameplate Sequence Occurs And We Begin Oliver Owns Up)
 * George Carlin: On A Clear Day When The Sky Is Blue And There Is Just Enough Breeze To Blow The Clouds Away, You Can Stand On A Big Hill Above The Valley And Watch Duck And Oliver Far Below, Busily At Work On Duck's Branch Line Near The Sea. The 2 Engines Are Very Proud Of Their Matching Coats Of Gleaming Color. Oliver Often Talks About The Time That Douglas Saved Him From Scrap.
 * Oliver: If It Wasn't For His Help...
 * George Carlin: Oliver Would Say.
 * Oliver: I Might Have Caught When I Ran Away From The Scrapyard, And I Would Never Come To Live Here On Sir Topham Hatt's Railway.
 * George Carlin: The Other Engines All Wanted To Know About Oliver's Adventures.
 * Henry: Amazing!
 * George Carlin: Remarked Henry.
 * James: Oliver...
 * George Carlin: Said James.
 * James: ...Has Resource...
 * Gordon: ...And Sagacity.
 * George Carlin: Put In Gordon.
 * Percy: What Does That Mean?
 * George Carlin: Whispered Percy.
 * Thomas: I Think...
 * George Carlin: Replied Thomas.
 * Thomas: ...It's About Being Clever And Wise.
 * Gordon: He Is...
 * George Carlin: Finished Gordon.
 * Gordon: ...An Example To Us All.
 * George Carlin: I'm Sorry To Say That Oliver Became Puffed Up In The Smokebox.
 * Oliver: Henry Says I'm Amazing. He's Right.
 * George Carlin: He Whistled As He Swooshed Along The Line. One Morning, Sir Topham Hatt Came To See Him.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: You Are Doing Well. Now You Must Learn How To Look After Freight Cars.
 * George Carlin: Every Wise Engine Knows That You Cannot Trust Freight Cars. The Other Engines Warned Oliver But He Took No Notice.
 * Oliver: You Think I Can Manage.
 * George Carlin: He Said Huffily.
 * Oliver: Gordon Knows Better. He's Says I'm Sagacious.
 * Duck: You May Be Good Gracious Or Whatever You Called It, But Cars Can Be Troublesome And...
 * Donald: Say No More, Duck.
 * George Carlin: Interested Donald.
 * Donald: It's A Pity, But The Wee Engine Just Learned For Itself.
 * George Carlin: Oliver Pulled Some Loaded Cars Into A Siding And Pushed The Empties Into The Chute. Then He Came Back To Take The Loaded Cars Away. But They Were Comfortable And Didn't Want To Move.
 * Car 1: What Right Is He To Poke His Funnel In Here?
 * Car 2: We Want Duck...
 * Car 3: ...Or Donald...
 * Car 4: ...Or Douglas!
 * Oliver: Look Sharp.
 * George Carlin: Huffed Oliver.
 * Cars: That's Not The Way To Speak.
 * George Carlin: Hissed The Cars.
 * Cars: We'll Get Even.
 * George Carlin: Oliver Heard Nothing. The Cars Move Smoothly At First, Then Suddenly, Oliver Found Them Forced Forward. His Driver Applied The Brakes, But They Were Useless Against The Surging Cars.
 * Cars: On, On, On!
 * George Carlin: Yelled The Cars. Oliver Formed Hard, But Still They Forced Them On And On. At Last, The Cars Grew Tired.
 * Oliver: I'm Winning.
 * George Carlin: Gasped Oliver. But It Was Too Late.
 * (Oliver Falls Into The Turntable Well)
 * George Carlin: Oliver Lay Bruised And Bemused, Bunkered Down In The Turntable Well. Duck Surveyed The Damaged.
 * Duck: Hello, Oliver. Are You Being A Good Gracious Engine? Beg Pardon, We Really Don't Like This Sort Of Surprise. Donald And Douglas Will Miss Their Turntable Until It Was Mended.
 * George Carlin: That Evening, Oliver Was Hold Gently To Safety.
 * Oliver: I'm Sorry, Sir.
 * George Carlin: He Said To Sir Topham Hatt.
 * Oliver: I Shouldn't Listen To Duck's Advice. I Don't Feel Good Gracious Or Whatever It Is. I Just Feel Silly.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Well, Oliver.
 * George Carlin: Replied Sir Topham Hatt.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Now You Know The Damage Cars Can Do.
 * Oliver: Yes I Do, Sir. I Look Like A Load Of Scrap Iron.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Oh, I Don't Think So.
 * George Carlin: Laughed Sir Topham Hatt.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: But You Do Need To Go To The Works To Be Mended.
 * George Carlin: The Other Engines Now Felt Sorry For Oliver.
 * Duck: The Branch Line Would Be The Same Without You.
 * George Carlin: Whistled Duck.
 * Duck: Come Back Soon.
 * George Carlin: A Few Days Later, Oliver Did Come Back. His Coat Paint Glistened In The Sun. He's A Wiser Engine Too And Never Made The Same About Cars Again.
 * (Another Nameplate Sequence Occurs And We Begin Bulgy)
 * George Carlin: It Was A Special Holiday On The Island Of Sodor. Bertie The Bus Was Working Harder Than Ever Before. All The Engines Were Busy Too. Duck Was Waiting For His Next Journey. Near Him Stood A Red Bus. But He Didn't Look Friendly Like Bertie. The Bus Growled As He Gazed At The Happy Passengers.
 * Bulgy: Stupid Nonsense.
 * George Carlin: He Grumbled.
 * Bulgy: I Wouldn't Have Brought Them If I've Known. I Did Have A Breakdown Or Something.
 * Duck: I'm Glad You Didn't.
 * George Carlin: Smiled Duck.
 * Duck: You Had Spoiled Their Fun.
 * Bulgy: Bah! Enjoyment Is All You Engines Lived For. One Day Railways Will Be Ripped Up.
 * George Carlin: Duck Felt Shocked At Such An Idea.
 * Duck: We Have A Friend Called Bertie And He's A Bus. But He Likes The Railway. Sometimes He Teases Us About It, But He'd Never Want To See It Ripped Up.
 * Bulgy: Heh!
 * George Carlin: Growled The Bus.
 * Bulgy: I Know Bertie. He's Too Small In Size To Be In Any Use.
 * George Carlin: Duck Took No Notice.
 * Duck: That Bus Is Silly.
 * George Carlin: He Thought As He Steamed Away. At The Junction, Duck Told Oliver All About Him.
 * Oliver: I Call Him "Bulgy".
 * George Carlin: Chuckled Oliver And Then He Puffed Happily Away. But That Afternoon When The 2 Engines Met Again, Oliver Was No Longer Laughing.
 * Oliver: Bulgy's Friend Had Come.
 * George Carlin: He Said.
 * Oliver: He's Rude Too. He's Taking Bulgy's Passengers Home And Leaving Bulgy Free To Steal Ours.
 * Duck: But He Can't.
 * George Carlin: Objected Duck.
 * Oliver: Bulgy Says He Can Get Them To The Big Station Before Us.
 * Duck: Rubbish!
 * George Carlin: Replied Duck.
 * Duck: It's Much Farther By Road.
 * Oliver: Yeah.
 * George Carlin: Continued Oliver.
 * Oliver: But Bulgy Says He Knows A Shortcut.
 * George Carlin: That Evening, The Engines Were Preparing For The Homeward Rush.
 * Duck: Where Are The Passengers?
 * George Carlin: They Wondered.
 * Oliver: Look!
 * George Carlin: Shrilled Oliver.
 * Oliver: Look At Bulgy. He's A Mean Scarlet Deceiver.
 * George Carlin: Bulgy Was Wearing A Large Sign Saying: Railway Bus.
 * Bulgy: Ya, Boo, Snubs.
 * George Carlin: He Jeered As He Roared Away.
 * Duck: Come On.
 * George Carlin: Puffed Duck To His Coaches.
 * Duck: Let's See What He's Up To.
 * George Carlin: Duck Wanted To Get Back At Bulgy, But He Wasn't Sure How. Then In The Distance, Duck Saw A Man Waving A Red Flag. That Meant Danger. The Line Here Crosses A Narrow Road And There Was Bulgy Wedged Firmly Under The Bridge.
 * Duck: So This Was His Shortcut.
 * George Carlin: Chuckled Duck.
 * Bulgy's Passengers: He Tricked Us.
 * George Carlin: Shouted Bulgy's Passengers.
 * Bulgy's Passengers: He Said He Was A Railway Bus, But He Wouldn't Accept Our Return Tickets. He Wanted Us To Think Railways Are No Good.
 * George Carlin: Duck's Crew Examined The Bridge.
 * Duck's Driver: It's Risky, But We Must Help The Passengers.
 * Duck: Passengers Are Urgent.
 * George Carlin: Agreed Duck. Duck Slowly And Carefully Set Off Across The Bridge. Bulgy Wailed As He Felt The Bridge Quiver.
 * Bulgy: (Groaning) Stop!
 * George Carlin: He Shouted.
 * Bulgy: It Might Fall On Me.
 * Duck: That Would Serve You Right For Telling Lies.
 * George Carlin: Said Duck. But The Bridge Didn't Collapse. Duck Made Good Time And All The Passengers Caught Their Trains. The Bridge Is Now Mended, But Not Unfortunately Bulgy And His Ways. He Never Learned Sense. He's A Henhouse And His Lies Can Do No Harm. The Hens Never Listened To Him Anyway.
 * (Another Nameplate Sequence Occurs And We Begin Heroes)
 * George Carlin: One Morning, Bill And Ben Were Busy At The Quarry, Pushing And Pulling Cars Filled With Clay Into Their Proper Places. The Twins Are Cheeky And Love Playing Tricks. But They We're Growing Restless.
 * Ben: Listen, Bill.
 * George Carlin: Said Ben.
 * Ben: Can You Hear Something?
 * Bill: What Sort Of Something?
 * George Carlin: Asked Bill.
 * Ben: Something Different.
 * George Carlin: Replied Ben.
 * Bill: I Can't Hear Anything Different.
 * George Carlin: Said Bill.
 * Ben: Exactly.
 * George Carlin: Huffed Ben.
 * Ben: Everything Is The Same. Sounds The Same, Looks The Same. What We Need Is A Surprise.
 * Bill: Surprise What?
 * George Carlin: Asked Bill. Before Ben Could Answer, The Quarry Master Arrived.
 * Quarry Master: I Have Just Received A Message From Sir Topham Hatt. He Wants You To Go To The Station At The Harbour.
 * Bill: I Wonder What We've Done This Time.
 * George Carlin: Said Bill Anxiously.
 * Ben: It Must Be You.
 * George Carlin: Replied Ben.
 * Bill: Why Me?
 * George Carlin: Exclaimed Bill.
 * Bill: I've Not Done Anything.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Edward Is Taking The Children On A Special Trip Today. I Want You To Go To The Station And Look After Cars There.
 * Ben: We'll Do Our Best, Sir.
 * George Carlin: Said The Twins. Gordon Spoke Severly To Them.
 * Gordon: You Must Behave Here. You're On The Main Line Now.
 * Ben: Actually, Gordon.
 * George Carlin: Giggled Ben.
 * Ben: When We Saw You, We Thought This Was The Scrapyard.
 * George Carlin: Gordon Was Cross.
 * Gordon: Just Make Sure That My Coaches Are Ready For My Evening Train.
 * George Carlin: And He Fumed Away. The Twins Laughed And Set To Work.
 * Bill And Ben: This Was Easy.
 * George Carlin: They Said To Each Other.
 * Bill And Ben: We Know All About Cars.
 * George Carlin: But I'm Afraid They Didn't.
 * Freight Cars: No Need For That.
 * George Carlin: Shouted The Cars As The Twins Pushed Them Into Place.
 * Freight Cars: We'll Show You Around, We Want To Help.
 * Bill And Ben: Thank You Very Much.
 * George Carlin: Said Bill And Ben. The Cars Giggled And Began Their Tricks. Evening Came. The Yard Was In A Dreadful Muddle. The Twins Had Left The Cars Tell Them Where To Put Things. Gordon And The Passengers Waited Impatiently Outside The Station While Bill And Ben Tried To Sort Things Out. But By The Time Gordon Was Able To Leave, It Was Very Late Indeed. Next Day The Twins Were Working At The Quarry Again.
 * Bill: That's A Strange Noise.
 * George Carlin: Gasped Bill.
 * Bill: I Never Heard A Noise Like That Before.
 * Bill's Driver: I Have.
 * George Carlin: Whispered His Driver Nervously.
 * Bill's Driver: It Sounds Like A Rock Slide To Me.
 * (We Hear A Loud Siren)
 * George Carlin: Then Came The Alarm.
 * Quarry Master: Danger! Clear The Quarry!
 * George Carlin: Shouted The Quarry Master. Workmen Scrambled Into The Cars.
 * Bill And Ben: Thank Goodness We're Here.
 * George Carlin: Said The Twins. They Were Just Puffing Out Of The Quarry When...
 * Quarry Master: Help! Wait For Me!
 * George Carlin: A Workman Had Been Left Behind. Ben Waited As The Man Climbed Quickly Aboard. The Twins Left The Quarry Just In Time.
 * (The Avalanche Buries The Entire Quarry Completely)
 * George Carlin: Everyone Was Safe, But Rubble Lay All Around.
 * Bill: Oh Dear.
 * George Carlin: Said Bill.
 * Bill: This Wasn't Our Fault. I Hope Sir Topham Hatt Will Understand.
 * George Carlin: And Indeed, He Did. Next Day, He Arrived With Edward.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Bill And Ben, You Still Had A Lot To Learn About Cars, Don't You? But You Acted Quickly And Bravely An Emergency. So 3 Cheers For Bill And Ben Our Heroes. Hip Hip, Hooray, Hooray, Hooray!
 * Bill: Oh, Thank You, Sir.
 * George Carlin: Said Bill.
 * Bill: Being Called Heroes, Well, It's, It's...
 * Ben: It's A Really Nice Surprise.
 * George Carlin: Laughed Ben.
 * (Another Nameplate Sequence Occurs And We Begin Gordon Takes A Dip)
 * George Carlin: Gordon Was Resting In A Siding. Sometimes He Thought...
 * Gordon: It's Really Tiring To Be Such A Large And Splendid Engine, One Does Have To Keep Up Appearance Is So.
 * Henry: Peep Peep Peep Peep! Hello, Lazybones!
 * George Carlin: Whistled Henry.
 * Gordon: What Cheek!
 * George Carlin: Spluttered Gordon.
 * Gordon: That Henry Is Too Big For His Wheels. Fancy Speaking To Me Like That. Me Who Has Never Had An Accident.
 * Percy: Aren't Jammed Whistles And Burst Safely Valves Accidents?
 * George Carlin: Asked Percy Innocently.
 * Gordon: No Indeed. High Spirits. Might Happen To Any Engine. But To Come Off The Rails Like Henry Did. Well, I Ask You. Is That Right? Is It Decent?
 * George Carlin: Then It Was Henry's Turn To Take The Express. Gordon Watch Him Getting Ready.
 * Gordon: Be Careful, Henry. You're Not Pulling The Flying Kipper Now. Mind You Keep On The Rails Today.
 * George Carlin: Henry Went Off In A Huff, And Gordon Yawned And Went To Sleep. But Not For Long.
 * Driver: Wake Up, Gordon.
 * George Carlin: Said His Driver.
 * Driver: A Special Train's Coming And We're To Pull It.
 * Gordon: Is It Coaches Or Freight Cars?
 * Driver: Cars.
 * George Carlin: Said His Driver.
 * Gordon: Cars.
 * George Carlin: Said Gordon.
 * Gordon: Puh-Huh.
 * George Carlin: Gordon's Fire Was Slow To Start, So Edward Had To Push Gordon To The Turntable To Get Him Facing The Right Way.
 * Gordon: I Won't Go, I Won't Go!
 * George Carlin: Grumbled Gordon.
 * Edward: Don't Be Silly, Don't Be Silly.
 * George Carlin: Puffed Edward. At Last, Gordon Was On The Turntable. The Movement Had Shaken His Fire. It Was Now Burning Nicely And Making Steam. Gordon Was Cross And Didn't Care What He Did. He Waited Till The Table Was Halfway Round.
 * Gordon: I'll Show Them, I'll Show Them.
 * George Carlin: He Hissed. He Moved Slowly Forward To Jam The Table, But He Couldn't Stop Himself And Slithered Into The Ditch.
 * Gordon: Oosh!
 * George Carlin: He Hissed.
 * Gordon: Get Me Out, Get Me Out!
 * Driver: Not A Hope.
 * George Carlin: Said His Driver And Fireman.
 * Fireman: You're Stuck, You Silly Great Engine. Don't You Understand That?
 * George Carlin: They Telephoned Sir Topham Hatt.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: So Gordon Didn't Want To Take The Special Train And Ran Into A Ditch? What's That You Say? The Special's Waiting? Tell Edward To Take It Please. And Gordon? Leave Him Where He Is. We'll Get Him Out Later.
 * George Carlin: On The Other Side Of The Ditch, Some Little Boys Were Chattering.
 * Boy 1: Oh, Dosen't He Look Silly?
 * Boy 2: They'll Never Get Him Out.
 * George Carlin: They Began To Sing.
 * Boys: Silly Old Gordon Fell In A Ditch, Fell In A Ditch, Fell In A Ditch, Silly Old Gordon Fell In A Ditch All In The Monday Morning.
 * George Carlin: Gordon Lay In The Ditch All Day.
 * Gordon: Oh, Dear.
 * George Carlin: He Thought.
 * Gordon: I Shall Never Get Out.
 * George Carlin: But That Evening, They Lifted Gordon And Made A Rope Of Sleepers Under His Wheels To Keep Him From The Mud. Strong Ropes Were Fastened To His Back End, And James And Henry Pulling Hard, Managed To Bring Him To Safety.
 * (Gordon Is Pulled To Safety, We Show A Close Up Of His Wheels, And Finally A Shot Of Him On The Turntable)
 * George Carlin: Late That Night, Gordon Crawled Home, A Sadder And Wiser Engine.
 * (Another Nameplate Sequence Occurs And We Begin Down The Mine)
 * George Carlin: One Day, Thomas Was At The Junction When Gordon Shuffled In With Some Freight Cars.
 * Thomas: Phew!
 * George Carlin: Remarked Thomas.
 * Thomas: What A Funny Smell. Can You Smell A Smell?
 * Annie: I Can't Smell A Smell.
 * George Carlin: Said Annie.
 * Thomas: A Funny Musty Sort Of Smell.
 * George Carlin: Said Thomas.
 * Gordon: No One Noticed Until You Did.
 * George Carlin: Grumbled Gordon.
 * Gordon: It Must Be Yours.
 * George Carlin: Not Long Ago, He Had Fallen Into A Dirty Ditch. Thomas Enjoyed Teasing Him About It.
 * Thomas: Annie, Clarabel, Do You Know What I Think It Is? It's Ditchwater.
 * George Carlin: Before Gordon Could Answer, Thomas Puffed Away. Annie And Clarabel Could Hardly Believe Their Ears.
 * Annie: He's Dreadfully Rude I Feel Quite Ashamed.
 * Clarabel: I Feel Quite Ashamed He's Dreadfully Rude.
 * George Carlin: And To Thomas They Said.
 * Annie And Clarabel: You Musn't Be Rude, You Make Us Ashamed.
 * George Carlin: But Thomas Didn't Care A Bit.
 * Thomas: That Was Funny, That Was Funny.
 * George Carlin: He Chuckled. He Felt Very Pleased With Himself. Annie And Clarabel Were Deeply Shocked. They Have Great Respect For Gordon The Big Engine. Thomas Left His Coaches At The Station And Went Off To A Mine For Some Cars. Long Ago, Miners Digging There Have Made Tunnels Under The Ground. Their Roofs Are Strong Enough To Hold Up Cars But Not The Weight Of Engines. A Large Notice Warns Them Not To Enter The Area: Danger! Engines Must Not Pass This Board.
 * Thomas: Silly Old Board.
 * George Carlin: Thought Thomas. He Had Often Tried To Pass It But Had Never Succeeded. But This Morning He Had Made A Plan. The Fireman Went To Throw The Switch.
 * Thomas: Now For My Plan!
 * George Carlin: Huffed Thomas. Bumping The Cars Fiercely He Jerked His Driver Off The Footplate And Followed Them Into The Siding.
 * Thomas' Driver: Come Back!
 * George Carlin: Yelled His Driver.
 * (A Loud Splash Is Heard As Thomas Falls To The Mine)
 * Thomas: Fire And Smoke!
 * George Carlin: Said Thomas.
 * Thomas: I'm Sunk.
 * George Carlin: And He Was.
 * Thomas: Oh, Dear.
 * George Carlin: He Said.
 * Thomas: I Am A Silly Engine.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: And A Very Naughty One, Too. You Saw You!
 * George Carlin: Said Sir Topham Hatt.
 * Thomas: Please Get Me Out. I Wont Do It Again.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: I'm Not Sure. We Can't Lift You Out With The Cranes. The Ground's Not Firm Enough. Hmm, Let Me See. I Wonder If Gordon Could Pull You Out.
 * Thomas: Yes Sir.
 * George Carlin: Said Thomas. But He Didn't Want To Meet Gordon Just Yet.
 * Gordon: Down The Mine Is He? Ha, Ha, Ha!
 * George Carlin: Laughed Gordon.
 * Gordon: What A Joke! Boop, Boop! Little Thomas, We'll Have Your Out In A Couple Of Puffs.
 * George Carlin: Strong Cables Were Fastened Between The 2 Engines.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Are You Ready? Heave!
 * (Gordon Pulls Thomas Out Of The Mine)
 * George Carlin: It Was A Lot Harden Then They All Thought. At Last Thomas Was Free.
 * Thomas: I'm Sorry I Was Cheeky.
 * George Carlin: Said Thomas.
 * Gordon: That's All Right, Thomas. You Made Me Laugh.
 * George Carlin: Replied Gordon.
 * Gordon: I'm In Disgrace.
 * Thomas: So Am I.
 * George Carlin: Huffed Thomas.
 * Gordon: Why So You Are Thomas. Shall We Form An Alliance. You Help Me And I Help You.
 * Thomas: Right You Are.
 * George Carlin: Agreed Thomas.
 * Gordon: Good. That's Settled.
 * George Carlin: Rumbled Gordon. And Buffer To Buffer The Allies Puffed Home.
 * (Gordon's Whistle Toots And Thomas' Whistle Toots)
 * (Another Nameplate Sequence Occurs And We Begin The Runaway)
 * George Carlin: Thomas The Tank Engine Was ill. Workmen Had Been Trying To Make Him Better, But It Was No Use.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Edward Must Take You To The Works.
 * George Carlin: Said Sir Topham Hatt. Thomas Felt Very Miserable. Then, Sir Topham Hatt Spoke To Duck.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: I Want You To Help Percy And Toby While Thomas Is Away.
 * George Carlin: Duck Was Delighted. He Already Knew Percy And Soon Made Friends With Toby And Bertie. Terence The Tractor Gave Him A Big Welcome Too.
 * Terence: Take Care Of Thomas' Coaches.
 * George Carlin: He Advised.
 * Terence: He's Sure To Miss Them While He's Away.
 * George Carlin: Duck Was Very Gentle With The Coaches. Annie And Clarabel Were Impressed.
 * Annie And Clarabel: Such Nice Manners.
 * George Carlin: They Told Each Other.
 * Annie And Clarabel: It Really Is A Pleasure To Go Out With Him.
 * George Carlin: When Thomas Came Back, Annie And Clarabel Told Him How Well Duck Had Managed. Thomas Was So Pleased To Be Home That He Soon Forgot To Be Jealous. The Works Have Left Thomas' Handbrake Very Stiff. It Made His Brakes Seen They Were On, When In Fact They Were Not. As A Result, He And His Coaches Often Overran The Platform. Thomas Found This Most Embarrassing. Gradually, His Driver And Fireman Learned To Be Extra Careful. But One Day, Thomas' Fireman Was ill And A Relief Man Took His Place. The Fireman Had Fastened The Coupling And Joined The Driver And Stationmaster On The Platform To Wait For Henry's Passengers. The Fireman Had Forgot All About Thomas' Handbrake. Thomas Simmered Happily.
 * Thomas: Not Long Now.
 * George Carlin: He Thought. As He Saw Henry Slowly Approaching. But Thomas' Brakes Were Not On And Suddenly He Felt His Wheels Began To Move. He Tried To Stop, But He Couldn't Without His Driver And Fireman. He Tried To Whistle A Warning, But He Couldn't Do That Either. The Conductor, Driver, Fireman And Passengers Were All Stranded On The Platform.
 * Annie And Clarabel: Stop! Stop!
 * George Carlin: Shrieked Annie And Clarabel. But Thomas, With Plenty Of Steam, Kept On Going. The Alarm Went Down The Line.
 * Signalman: Stop The Runaway!
 * George Carlin: There Ready For Action Was Harold The Helicopter. The Inspector Had Made A Plan And Together They Took Off Into The Sky. At Last Thomas Was Tiring.
 * Thomas: I Need To Stop, I Need To Stop.
 * George Carlin: He Panted Wearily. As They Neared The Next Station Thomas Saw Harold Land. They Entered The Platform Slowly Enough For The Inspector To Act. Judging His Moments The Inspector Scrambled Into The Cab And Screwed The Brakes On.
 * (The Inspector Brakes With All His Strength)
 * George Carlin: At Last Thomas Stopped. Both He And The Inspector Were Very Relieved. Then They Thanked Harold.
 * Harold: Think Nothing Of It. Glad To Be At Service Anytime.
 * Inspector: Thomas.
 * George Carlin: Remarked The Inspector.
 * Inspector: We Must Never Let This Happen Again.
 * George Carlin: Wearily, Thomas Agreed With Him.
