Ash Comes To Breakfast

 * George Carlin: Ash Ketchum has worked his route for many years, and knows it very well.
 * Ash's Driver: You know just where to stop, Ash.
 * George Carlin: Laughed his driver.
 * Ash's Driver: You could almost manage it without me.
 * George Carlin: Ash  had become conceited. He didn't realize his driver was joking.  Later, he boasted to the others.
 * Ash:  Driver says I don't need him now.
 * Alex: D on't be so daft!
 * George Carlin: Snorted Alex.
 * Jackie: I'd never go without my driver.
 * George Carlin: Said Jackie,  earnestly.
 * Jackie:  I'd be frightened.
 * Ash: Puh!
 * George Carlin: Boasted Ash.
 * Ash: I'm not scared!
 * Jackie: You'd never dare!
 * Ash:  I would then, you'll see.
 * George Carlin:  Next morning, the firelighter came. Ash drowsed comfortably, and the warmth spread through his body.  Alex and Jackie were still asleep. Ash suddenly remembered.
 * Ash:  Silly stick-in-the-muds!
 * George Carlin:  He chuckled.
 * Ash:  I'll show them. Driver said I could manage without him. I'll just go out, then I'll stop and WHEESH! That'll make them jump.
 * George Carlin: Ash  thought he was being clever. Really, he was only moving because a careless cleaner had meddled with his body. 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 look at what was coming next; there was the principal's house. The principal was just about to have breakfast.
 * Ash: Horrors!
 * George Carlin: Cried Ash, and shut his eyes. (CRASH!) The house rocked, broken glass tinkled, plaster was everywhere. Ash had collected a bush on his travels. He peered into the room through its leaves. He couldn't speak. The principal was furious. His wife picked up her plate.
 * Darkholme: You miserable trainer!
 * George Carlin: She scolded.
 * Darkholme: Just look what you've done to our breakfast! Now I shall have to cook some more!
 * George Carlin: She banged the door. More plaster fell. This time, it fell on Ash. Ash felt depressed. Workmen propped up the house with strong poles, and laid a path through the garden. Meanwhile, Ozzy and Drix arrived.
 * Ozzy and Drix: Dinna fash yourself, Ash, we'll soon have you back on the path!
 * George Carlin: They laughed. Ozzy and Drix, working hard, managed to haul Ash back to safety. Bits of fencing, a bush, and a broken window frame festuned his front, which was badly twisted. The cells laughed and left him. Ash was in disgrace. There was worse to come.
 * Steven: You in a lot of trouble, Ash.
 * Ash: I know, sir. I'm sorry, sir.
 * George Carlin: Ash's voice was muffled behind his bush.
 * Steven: You must go to the workshop and have your front mended, it will be a long job.
 * Ash: Yes, sir.
 * Steven: Meanwhile, a bunny will do your work.
 * Ash: A b-b-b-bunny, sir?
 * George Carlin: Ash spluttered.
 * Steven: Yes, Ash. Bunnies always stay in their houses until they are wanted. Bunnies never galavant off to breakfast in principal's houses.

Pop Goes Ken

 * George Carlin: Virgil is very proud of being a teenager.  He talks endlessly about it. But he works hard, too, and makes everything go like clockwork. It was a splendid day. The Beedrill and Arcanine behaved well. The passengers even stopped grumbling. But the characters didn't like having to bustle about.
 * Virgil:  There are two ways of doing things.
 * George Carlin: Virgil told them.
 * Virgil: The teenager way, or the wrong way. I'm a teenager and...
 * Shaggy, Terry and Raimundo: Don't we know it!
 * George Carlin: They groaned. The characters were glad when the visitor came. He purred smoothly towards him. Steven introduce him.
 * Steven: Here is Ken. I have agreed to give him a trial. He needs to learn. Please teach him, Virgil.
 * Ken: Good morning.
 * George Carlin: Purred Ken in an oily voice.
 * Ken: Please to meet you, Virgil. Is that Raimundo and Shaggy and Terry too? I am delighted to meet such famous characters.
 * George Carlin: The silly characters were flattered.
 * Characters: He has very good manners.
 * George Carlin: They murmured.
 * Characters: We're pleased to have in our yard.
 * George Carlin: Virgil had his doubts.
 * Virgil: Come on!
 * George Carlin: He said. Ken purred after him.
 * Ken: Your worth Ste...
 * Virgil: Steven to you.
 * George Carlin: Ordered Virgil. Ken looked hurt.
 * Ken: Your worthy Steven thinks I need to learn. He is mistaken. We villains don't need to learn. We know everything. We come to a yard and improvement. We are revolutionary.
 * Virgil: Oh!
 * George Carlin: Said Virgil.
 * Virgil: If you are revo-thingummy, perhaps you would collect my Beedrill while I fetch Terry's Arcanine.
 * George Carlin: Ken delighted to show off, purred away. When Virgil returned, Ken was trying to take some Beedrill from a siding. They were old and empty. They've not been touch for a long time. Ken found them hard to move.  Pull! Push! Backwards! Forwards!
 * Beedrill: Oh! Oh!
 * George Carlin: The Beedrill groaned.
 * Beedrill: We can't! We won't!
 * George Carlin: Virgil watched with interest. Ken lost patience.
 * Ken: Grrr!
 * George Carlin: He roared, and gave a great heave. The Beedrill jerked forward.
 * Beedrill: Ohhh!
 * George Carlin: They screamed.
 * Beedrill: We can't! We won't!
 * George Carlin: Some of their brakes snapped, and the gear jammed in the sleepers.
 * Ken: Grrrr!
 * Virgil: Ha, ha, ha!
 * George Carlin: Chuckled Virgil. Ken recovered and try to push the Beedrill back, but they wouldn't move. Virgil ran quietly around to collect the other Beedrill.
 * Virgil: Thank you for arranging these, Ken. I must go now.
 * Ken: Don't you want this lot?
 * Virgil: No thank you.
 * George Carlin: Ken gulped.
 * Ken: And I've taken all this trouble? Why didn't you tell me?
 * Virgil: You never asked me. Besides.
 * George Carlin: Said Virgil.
 * Virgil: You were having such fun being revo-whatever-it-was-you-said. Goodbye.
 * Ken: Grrrr!
 * George Carlin: Ken had to help the workmen clear the mess. He hated it. All the Beedrill were laughing and singing at him.
 * Beedrill: Beedrill are waiting in the yard, tackling them with ease'll, show the world what I can do, gaily boasts Ken, in and out he creeps about, like a big black weasel, when he pulls the wrong Beedrill out, Pop goes Ken!
 * Ken: Grrr!
 * George Carlin: Growled Ken, and scuttled away to sulk in the shed.

Ken's Devious Deed

 * George Carlin: Ken of the Pokemon Mystery Club was sulking.  The Beedrill would not stop singing rudely at him. Virgil was horrified.
 * Virgil: Shut up!
 * George Carlin: He ordered, and bumped them hard.
 * Virgil: I'm sorry our Beedrill were rude to you, Ken,
 * George Carlin: Ken was still furious.
 * Ken: It's all your fault. You made them laugh at me.
 * Shaggy: Nonsense.
 * George Carlin: Said Shaggy.
 * Shaggy: Virgil would never do that. We characters have our differences, but we never talked about them to the Beedrill. That would be dis...dis...
 * Terry: Disgraceful.
 * George Carlin: Said Terry.
 * Raimundo: Disgusting.
 * George Carlin: Put in Raimundo.
 * Shaggy: Despicable.
 * George Carlin: Finished Shaggy. Ken hated Virgil. He wanted him to be sent away, so he made a plan. He was going to tell lies about Virgil. Next day, he spoke to the Beedrill.
 * Ken: I see you like jokes. You made a good joke about me yesterday. I laughed and laughed. Virgil told me one about Terry. I'll whisper it. Don't tell Terry I told you.
 * George Carlin: And he sniggered away.
 * Beedrill: Ha, ha, ha!
 * George Carlin: Guffawed the Beedrill.
 * Beedrill: Terry will be cross with Virgil when he knows. Let's tell him and get back at Virgil for bumping us.
 * George Carlin: They laughed rudely at the characters as they went by. Soon Terry, Shaggy and Raimundo found out why.
 * Terry: Disgraceful.
 * George Carlin: Said Terry.
 * Raimundo: Disgusting.
 * George Carlin: Put in Raimundo.
 * Shaggy: Despicable.
 * George Carlin: Finished Shaggy.
 * Shaggy: We cannot allow it.
 * George Carlin: They consulted together.
 * Shaggy: Yes.
 * George Carlin: They said.
 * Shaggy: He did it to us, we'll do it to him and see how he likes it.
 * George Carlin: Virgil was tired out. The Beedrill had been cheeky and troublesome. He wanted a rest in the shed. The three characters barred his way.
 * Terry, Raimundo and Shaggy: Hooosh!
 * Raimundo: Keep out!
 * Virgil: Stop fooling.
 * George Carlin: Said Virgil.
 * Virgil: I'm tired.
 * Terry, Raimundo and Shaggy: So are we.
 * George Carlin: Hissed the characters.
 * Terry, Raimundo and Shaggy: We're tired of you. We like Ken. We don't like you. You tell tales about us to the Beedrill.
 * Virgil: I don't!
 * Terry, Raimundo and Shaggy: You do!
 * Virgil: I don't!
 * Terry, Raimundo and Shaggy: You do!
 * George Carlin: Steven came to stop the noise.
 * Terry: Virgil called me a galloping sausage!
 * George Carlin: Spluttered Terry.
 * Raimundo: Rusty red scrap-irons!
 * George Carlin: Hissed Raimundo.
 * Shaggy: I'm old square wheels!
 * George Carlin: Fumed Shaggy.
 * Steven: Well, Virgil?
 * George Carlin: Virgil considered.
 * Virgil: I only wish sir.
 * George Carlin: He said gravely.
 * Virgil: That I thought of those names myself. If the dome fits...
 * Steven: (clearing throat)
 * Terry, Raimundo and Shaggy: He made Beedrill laugh at us.
 * George Carlin: Accused the characters. Steven recovered. He been trying not to laugh himself.
 * Steven: Did you, Virgil?
 * Virgil: Certainly not, sir. No character will be as mean as that.
 * George Carlin: Ken lurked up.
 * Steven: Now, Ken, you heard what Virgil said.
 * Ken: I can't understand it, sir, to think that Virgil of all characters. I'm dreadfully grieved, sir, but no nothing.
 * Steven: I see.
 * George Carlin: Said Steven. Ken squirmed and hope he didn't.
 * Steven: I'm sorry, Virgil, but you must go to Kevin's station for a while. I know he'll be glad to see him.
 * Virgil: As you wish, sir.
 * George Carlin: Virgil trundled sadly away, while Ken smirked with triumph.

A Close Shave For Virgil

 * George Carlin: Virgil Hawkins walked sadly to Kevin's School.
 * Virgil:  It's not fair.
 * George Carlin: He complained.
 * Virgil: Ken has been telling lies about me and made Steven and all the characters think I'm horrid.
 * George Carlin: Kevin smiled.
 * Kevin: I know you weren't, and so does Steven. You wait and see. Why don't you help me with these Beedrill?
 * George Carlin: Virgil felt happier with Kevin, and set to work at once. The Beedrill were silly, heavy and noisy. The two characters have to work hard pushing and pulling all afternoon. At last, they reached the top of the hill.
 * Virgil: Goodbye!
 * George Carlin: Whistled Virgil, and rolled gently over the crossing to the other line. Virgil love coasting down the hill, running easily with the wind whistling past. Suddenly...
 * Virgil: It was the conductor's warning whistle.
 * Beedrill: Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah!
 * George Carlin: Laughed the Beedrill.
 * Beedrill: We've broken away, we've broken away! Chase him, bump him, throw him off the rails!
 * George Carlin: They yelled.
 * Driver: Hurry, Virgil, hurry!
 * George Carlin: Said the driver. They raced through Kevin's station, but the Beedrill were catching up.
 * Driver: As fast as we can, then they'll catch us gradually.
 * George Carlin: The driver was gaining control.
 * Driver: Another clear mile and we'll do it. Oh, glory, look at that!
 * George Carlin: Raimundo was just pulling out on they're line through the station ahead. Any minute, there could be a crash.
 * Driver: It's up to you now, Virgil.
 * George Carlin: Cried the driver. Virgil put every ounce of wait and steam against the Beedrill.
 * Virgil: It's too late!
 * George Carlin: Virgil groaned. He veered into a siding where Wario had sent off shop. He was shaving a customer.
 * (Crash!)
 * George Carlin: The silly Beedrill were knocked their conductor off his van, and left him far behind after he had whistled a warning. But the Beedrill didn't care. They were feeling very pleased with themselves.
 * Virgil: Beg pardon, Sir.
 * George Carlin: Gasped Virgil.
 * Virgil: Excuse my intrusion.
 * Wario: No I won't.
 * George Carlin: Said Wario.
 * Wario: You frightened my customers! I'll teach you!
 * George Carlin: And he lathered Virgil's face all other. Poor Virgil! Ash was helping to pull the Beedrill away when Steven arrived.
 * Wario: I do not like characters popping through my walls.
 * George Carlin: Fumed Wario.
 * Steven: I appreciate your feelings.
 * Ringo Starr: Said Steven.
 * Steven: But you must know that this character and his crew had prevented a serious accident. It was a very close shave.
 * Wario: Oh.
 * George Carlin: Said Wario.
 * Wario: Oh! Excuse me.
 * George Carlin: He filled the basin of water to wash Virgil's face.
 * Wario: I'm sorry. I didn't know you were been a brave character.
 * Virgil: That's all right, sir. I didn't know that either.
 * Steven: You were very brave indeed.
 * George Carlin: Said Steven.
 * Steven: I'm proud of you.
 * George Carlin: Steven watched the rescue operation, then he had more news to Virgil.
 * Steven: And when you are properly washed and mended, you are coming home.
 * Virgil: Home, sir? Do you mean the yard?
 * Steven: Of course.
 * Virgil: But sir, they don't like me. They like Ken.
 * Steven: Not now. I never believed Ken, so I sent him packing. The characters were sorry and want you back.
 * George Carlin: A few days later when he came home, there was a really rousing welcome for Virgil Hawkins.

Terry Takes A Dip

 * George Carlin: Terry was resting in a siding.  Sometimes he thought...
 * Terry: It's really tiring to be such a large and splendid character, one does have to keep up appearance is so.
 * Shaggy: Peep peep peep peep! Hello, lazybones!
 * George Carlin: Whistled Shaggy,
 * Terry: What cheek!
 * George Carlin: Spluttered Terry.
 * Terry: That Shaggy is too big for his feet. Fancy speaking to me like that. Me who has never had an accident.
 * Alex: Aren't jammed whistles and burst safety valves accidents?
 * George Carlin: Asked Alex innocently.
 * Terry: No indeed. High spirits. Might happen to any character. But to come off the rails like Shaggy did. Well, I ask you. Is that right? Is it decent?
 * George Carlin: Then it was Shaggy's turn to take the express. Terry watch him getting ready.
 * Terry: Be careful, Shaggy. You're not pulling the flying kipper now. Mind you keep on the rails today.
 * George Carlin: Shaggy went off in a huff, and Terry yawned and went to sleep. But not for long.
 * Driver: Wake up, Terry.
 * George Carlin: Said his driver.
 * Driver: A special train's coming and we're to pull it.
 * Terry: Is it coaches or Beedrill?
 * Driver: Beedrill.
 * George Carlin: Said his driver.
 * Terry: Beedrill.
 * George Carlin: Said Terry.
 * Terry: Puh-huh.
 * George Carlin: Terry's fire was slow to start, so Kevin had to push Terry to the turntable to get him facing the right way.
 * Terry: I won't go, I won't go!
 * George Carlin: Grumbled Terry.
 * Kevin: Don't be silly, don't be silly.
 * George Carlin: Puffed Kevin. At last, Terry was on the turntable. The movement had shaken his fire. It was now burning nicely and making steam. Terry was cross and didn't care what he did. He waited till the table was halfway round.
 * Terry: 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.
 * Terry: Oosh!
 * George Carlin: He hissed.
 * Terry: Get me out, get me out!
 * Driver: Not a hope.
 * George Carlin: Said his driver and fireman.
 * Fireman: You're stuck, you silly great character. Don't you understand that?
 * George Carlin: They telephoned Steven.
 * Steven: So Terry didn't want to take the special train and ran into a ditch? What's that you say? The special's waiting? Tell Kevin to take it please. And Terry? Leave him where his is. We'll get him out later.
 * George Carlin: On the other side of the ditch, some little boys were chattering.
 * Boy 1: Oh, doesn't he look silly?
 * Boy 2: They'll never get him out.
 * George Carlin: They began to sing.
 * Boys: Silly old Terry fell in a ditch, fell in a ditch, fell in a ditch, silly old Terry fell in a ditch all in the Monday morning.
 * George Carlin: Terry layed in the ditch all day.
 * Terry: Oh, dear.
 * George Carlin: He thought.
 * Terry: I shall never get out.
 * George Carlin: But that evening, they lifted Terry and made a rope of sleepers under his feet to keep him from the mud. Strong ropes were fastened to his back end, and Raimundo and Shaggy pulling hard, managed to bring him to safety. Late that night, Terry crawled home, a sadder and wiser character.

Double Trouble

 * George Carlin: It was a beautiful morning on the land of YTV.  Ash Ketchum's smart clothes sparkled in the sunshine, as he strolled happily along his route with Suzy and Pietra. He was feeling very pleased with himself.
 * Alex:  Hello, Ash.
 * George Carlin: Whistled Alex.
 * Alex: You look splendid.
 * Ash: Yes indeed.
 * George Carlin: Boasted Ash.
 * Ash: Blue is the only proper color for a trainer.
 * Jackie : Oh, I don't know. I like my brown paint.
 * George Carlin: Said Jackie.
 * Alex: I've always been green. I wouldn't want to be any other color either.
 * George Carlin: Added Alex.
 * Ash: Well, well, anyway.
 * George Carlin: Huffed Ash.
 * Ash: Blue is the only color for a really useful trainer. Anyone knows that.
 * George Carlin: Alex said no more. He just grinned at Jackie. Later, Ash was resting when Alex arrived. A large hopper was loading his Beedrill full of coal. Ash was still being cheeky.
 * Ash: Careful.
 * George Carlin: He warned.
 * Ash: Watch out with those silly Beedrill.
 * Beedrill: Go on, go on!
 * George Carlin: Muttered the Beedrill.
 * Ash: And by the way.
 * George Carlin: Went on Ash.
 * Ash: Those buffers don't look really safe to me.
 * George Carlin: The last load poured down.
 * Ash: Help, help!
 * George Carlin: Cried Ash.
 * Ash: Get me out!
 * George Carlin: Alex was worried, but he couldn't help laughing. Ash's smart clothes was covered in coal dust from smokebox to bunker.
 * Alex: Ha, ha!
 * George Carlin: Chuckled Alex.
 * Alex: You don't look really useful now, Ash. You look really disgraceful.
 * Ash: I'm not disgraceful.
 * George Carlin: Choked Ash.
 * Ash: You did that on purpose. Get me out!
 * George Carlin: It took so long to clean Ash that he wasn't it time for his next train. Jackie had to take Suzy and Pietra.
 * Suzy: Poor Ash.
 * George Carlin: Whispered Suzy to Pietra. They were most upset. Ash was grumpy in the shed that night. Jackie thought it made a great joke, but Alex was cross with Ash for thinking he had made his paint dirty on purpose.
 * Alex: Fancy a really useful blue trainer like Ash becoming a disgrace to Steven's railway.
 * George Carlin: Next day, Ash was feeling more cheerful, as he watch Alex bring his Beedrill from the junction. The Beedrill were heavy and Alex 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, Alex found that he couldn't stop. The buffers didn't stop him either.
 * Alex: Ooh!
 * George Carlin: Wailed Alex.
 * Alex: Help!
 * (Alex falls into the deep coal)
 * George Carlin: The buffers were broken and Alex was wheel deep in coal. It was time for Ash to leave. He had seen everything.
 * Ash: Now Alex has learned his lesson too.
 * George Carlin: He chuckled to himself. That night, the two characters made up their quarrel.
 * Alex: I didn't cause your accident on purpose, Ash.
 * George Carlin: Whispered Alex.
 * Alex: You do know that, don't you?
 * Ash: Of course.
 * George Carlin: Replied Ash.
 * Ash: And I'm sorry I teased you. Your green paint look splendid again too. In future, we're both be more careful of coal.

A Miltank On The Line

 * George Carlin: Kevin was getting old.  His bearings were worn, and he clanked as he puffed along. He was taking empty Beedrill to a market town. The sun shone, birds sang, but Kevin was heading for trouble.
 * Kevin: Come on! Come on!
 * George Carlin: He puffed.
 * Beedrill: Oh! Oh!
 * George Carlin: Screamed the Beedrill. Kevin puffed and clanked, the Beedrill rattled and screamed. Some Miltank were grazing near by. They were not used to trains. The noise and smoke disturbed them. As Kevin clanked by, they broke through the fence and ran across the line. A coupling was broken and some Beedrill were left behind.
 * (Miltank mooing)
 * George Carlin: Kevin felt a jerk, but didn't take much notice. He was used to Beedrill.
 * Kevin: Bother those Beedrill!
 * George Carlin: He thought.
 * Kevin: Why can't they come quietly?
 * George Carlin: He was at the next station before either he or his driver realized what had happened.  When Terry and Shaggy heard about the accident, they laughed and boasted.
 * Terry: Fancy allowing Beedrill to break your train! They wouldn't dare do that to us. We'd show them!
 * George Carlin: Old Jackie was cross.
 * Jackie: You couldn't help it, Kevin. They've never met Miltank. I have, and I know the trouble they are.
 * George Carlin: Some days later, Terry rushed through Kevin's Station.
 * Terry: Boop boop! Mind the Miltank! Hurry, hurry!
 * George Carlin: Puffed Terry.
 * Pets: Don't make such a fuss! Don't make such a fuss!
 * George Carlin: Grumbled his pets. A long stretch a line lay ahead. In the distance was a bridge. It seemed to Terry that there was something on the bridge. His driver thought so too.
 * Terry's Driver: Whoa, Terry!
 * George Carlin: He said, and shut off steam.
 * Terry: Pooh!
 * George Carlin: Said Terry.
 * Terry: It's only a Miltank! Shooh! Shooh!
 * George Carlin: He moved slowly on to the bridge, but the Miltank wouldn't "Shooh"! She had lost her calf, and felt lonely.
 * Miltank: Mooooh!
 * George Carlin: She said sadly. Everyone tried to send her away, but she wouldn't go. Shaggy arrived.
 * Shaggy: What's this? A Miltank? I'll soon settle her. Be off! Be off!
 * Miltank: Mooooh!
 * George Carlin: Shaggy backed away nervously.
 * Shaggy: I don't want to hurt her.
 * George Carlin: At the next station, Shaggy's Conductor told them about the cow, and warned the signalman that the line was blocked.
 * Porter: That must be Bluebell.
 * George Carlin: Said a porter.
 * Porter: Her calf is here, looking for her mother. Alex will take her along.
 * George Carlin: At the bridge, Bluebell was very pleased to her calf again, and the porter led them away.
 * Shaggy: Not a word.
 * Terry: Keep it secret.
 * George Carlin: Whispered Terry and Shaggy to each other. They felt rather silly, but the story soon spread.
 * Kevin: Well, well, well!
 * George Carlin: Chuckled Kevin.
 * Kevin: Two big characters afraid of a Miltank.
 * Terry : Afraid? Rubbish.
 * George Carlin: Said Terry.
 * Terry: We didn't want the poor thing to hurt herself by running up against us. We stopped so as not to excite her. You see what mean, my dear Kevin.
 * Kevin : Yes, Terry.
 * George Carlin: Said Kevin. Terry felt somehow that Kevin "saw" only too well.

Trouble In The Library

 * George Carlin: Steven sat in his laboratory listening to the noise outside.  The passengers were angry. The stationmaster came in.
 * Stationmaster: There's trouble in the library, sir. Shaggy was sulking. There's no train and the passengers are saying this is a bad railway.
 * Steven: Indeed.
 * George Carlin: Said Steven.
 * Steven: We cannot allow that.
 * George Carlin: He found Terry, Raimundo and Shaggy looking very cross.
 * Steven: Come along, Shaggy. It's time your train was ready.
 * Terry: Shaggy's not going!
 * George Carlin: Said Terry.
 * Terry: We won't shunt like little characters. That was Ash's job. We are important tender characters. You fetch our coaches and we will pull them. Tender characters don't shunt.
 * Steven: We'll see about that.
 * George Carlin: Said Steven.
 * Steven: No character on my railway is too important for small jobs.
 * George Carlin: And he hurried away to find Kevin.
 * Steven: The yard has never been the same since Ash left to run his branch line.
 * George Carlin: He thought sadly. Kevin was shunting.
 * Steven: Leave those Beedrill please, Kevin.
 * George Carlin: Said Steven.
 * Steven: I want to push coaches for me in the yard.
 * Kevin: Thank you, sir. That will be a nice change.
 * Steven: That's a good boy. Off you go then.
 * George Carlin: So Kevin found coaches for the three characters and that day, the train's ran as usual. But next morning, Kevin looked unhappy. Terry came clanking pass hissing rudely.
 * Steven: Bless me!
 * George Carlin: Steven.
 * Steven: What a noise!
 * Kevin: They all hissed me, Sir.
 * George Carlin: Answered Kevin.
 * Kevin: They say tender characters don't shunt and last night they said I have gray feet. I haven't have I, sir?
 * Steven: No Kevin, you have nice blue ones, and I'm proud of you. Tender characters do shunt, but all the same we do need another character here.
 * George Carlin: He went to the workshop and they showed them all sorts of characters. At last, he saw a smart little kid with orange hair.
 * Steven: That's the one.
 * George Carlin: He thought.
 * Steven: If I choose you, will you work hard?
 * Alex: Oh sir, yes sir.
 * Steven: That's a good boy. I'll call you Alex.
 * Alex: Yes sir, thank you sir.
 * George Carlin: And Steven brought Alex back to the yard.
 * Steven: Kevin.
 * George Carlin: He called.
 * Steven: Here's Alex. Will you show him everything?
 * George Carlin: Alex soon learned what he had to do and they had a happy afternoon. Then Shaggy came by hissing as usual.
 * Alex: Wheesh!
 * George Carlin: Went Alex. Shaggy jumped and ran back to the shed.
 * Kevin: How beautifully you wheeshed him!
 * George Carlin: Laughed Kevin.
 * Kevin: I can't wheesh like that.
 * Alex: Oh.
 * George Carlin: Said Alex.
 * Alex: That's nothing. You should hear them in the workshop. You have to wheesh loudly to make yourself heard.
 * George Carlin: Next morning, Ash arrived.
 * Ash: Steven sent to me. I expect he wants help.
 * George Carlin: He said to Kevin.
 * Kevin: Sh, sh, here he comes.
 * George Carlin: Replied Kevin.
 * Steven: Well done, Ash, you've been quick. Listen, Shaggy, Terry and Raimundo are sulking they say they won't shunt like little characters, so I have shut them up and I want you both to run a line for a while.
 * Ash: Little characters indeed.
 * George Carlin: Snorted Ash.
 * Ash: We'll show them.
 * Steven: And Alex will help too.
 * Alex: Oh sir, yes sir, please sir.
 * George Carlin: Answered Alex. Kevin and Ash worked the main line greeting each other as they pass by. Alex puffed along the branch line. Ash was anxious about Suzy and Pietra, but both driver and conductor promise to take care of them. They were fewer trains but the passengers didn't mind. They knew the three other characters were having a lesson. Terry, Raimundo and Shaggy were cold, lonely and miserable. They wish now they haven't been so silly.
