Chief Thunderhooves: "What?"

Narrator: "Grunted Chief Thunderhooves."

Pipsqueak: "Do you know what?"

Chief Thunderhooves: "Silly!"

Narrator: "Said Chief Thunderhooves."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Of course I don't know what if you don't tell me what what is!"

Pipsqueak: "Hoity Toity says that the work in the yard is too heavy for me. He's getting bigger pony to help me."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Rubbish!"

Narrator: "Said Cranky."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Any animal can do it! If you work more and chatter less, this yard would be a sweeter, a better and a happier place!"

Narrator: "Pipsqueak went off to fetch some buffaloes."

Pipsqueak: "That stupid old signal!"

Narrator: "He thought. He was remembering the time he missed understood a signal and gone backwards instead of forwards."

Pipsqueak: "No one listens to me now. They think I'm a silly little pony and order me about. I'll show them, I'll show them."

Narrator: "But he didn't know how.

But the end of the afternoon, he felt tired and unhappy. He brought some buffaloes to the station."

Hoity Toity: "Hello, Pipsqueak."

Narrator: "Said Hoity Toity."

Hoity Toity: "You look tired."

Pipsqueak: "Yes, sir. I am sir. I don't know if I'm standing on my head or my hooves."

Hoity Toity: "You look the right way up to me."

Narrator: "Laughed Hoity Toity."

Hoity Toity: "Cheer up. The new pony is bigger than you and can properly do the work alone. Would you like to help build my new harbor? Spike and Braeburn will help too."

Pipsqueak: "Oh yes, sir. Thank you, sir."

Narrator: "The new pony arrived."

Hoity Toity: "What's your name?"

Narrator: "Asked Hoity Toity."

Soarin: "Montague, sir, but I'm usually called Soarin. They say I soar like a bird. I don't really, sir, but I like Soarin better than Montague."

Hoity Toity: "Good. Soarin is shall be.

Here, Pipsqueak, show Soarin around."

Narrator: "The two ponies went off together. Soon, they were very busy.

Cranky, Chief Thunderhooves and Big Mac watched Soarin quietly doing his work."

Big Macintosh: "He seems a simple sort of pony."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "We'll have some fun and order him about."

Big Macintosh, Chief Thunderhooves and Cranky Doodle Donkey: (Bird tweeting noises) "Wheesh!"

Narrator: "Smoke billowed everywhere.

Pipsqueak was cross, but Soarin took no notice."

Soarin: "They'll get tired of it soon. Do they tell you to do things, Pipsqueak?"

Pipsqueak: "Yes, they do."

Narrator: "Answered Pipsqueak."

Soarin: "Right!"

Narrator: "Said Soarin."

Soarin: "We'll soon stop that nonsense."

Narrator: "He whispered something."

Soarin: "We'll do it later."

Narrator: "Hoity Toity was look forward to hot buttered toast for tea at home. Suddenly, he heard an extraordinary noise."

Big Macintosh, Chief Thunderhooves and Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Wheesh!" (Snorting noises)

Hoity Toity: "Bother!"

Narrator: "He said, and hurried to the yard.

Soarin and Pipsqueak sat outside the library refusing to let the animals in, Chief Thunderhooves, Cranky and Big Mac were furious."

(Chief Thunderhooves, Cranky and Big Mac shout and call out loudly)

Hoity Toity: "Stop that noise!"

Narrator: "Bellowed Hoity Toity."

Chief Thunderhooves: "They won't let us in!"

Narrator: "Hissed Chief Thunderhooves."

Hoity Toity: "Soarin, explain this behavior."

Soarin: "Beg pardon, sir, but I'm a Wonderbolt Pony. We do our work without fuss, but begging your pardon, sir. Pipsqueak and I would be glad if you would inform these, um, animals that we only take orders from you."

(Cranky and Chief Thunderhooves call out loudly)

Hoity Toity: "Quietly!"

Narrator: "Called Hoity Toity."

Hoity Toity: "Pipsqueak and Soarin, I am please with your work today, but not with your behavior tonight. You have caused a disturbance!"

Narrator: "Chief Thunderhooves, Big Mac and Cranky sniggered."

Hoity Toity: "As for you!"

Narrator: "Thundered Hoity Toity."

Hoity Toity: "You've been worse! You made the disturbance! Soarin is quite right. This is my town, and I give the orders."

Narrator: "After Pipsqueak went away, Soarin was left to manage alone. He did so, easily."
