Trivia

 * Stories told by George Carlin in restored format.

Ash Gets Tricked

 * George Carlin: Ash is a Pokemon Trainer who lives in a big city on the land of cartoons. He's a cheeky little character with black and white shoes, a red cap, a black hair and blue jeans. He's a fussy little character too. Always pulling coaches about ready for the big characters can take on long journeys. And when trains come in, he pulls the empty coaches away so that the big characters can go on rest. Ash thinks no character works has hard as he does. He loves playing tricks on them, including Jason the biggest and proudest character of all. Ash likes to tease Jason with his whistle.
 * Ash: Wake up, lazybones. Why don't you work hard like me?
 * George Carlin: One day after pulling the big express, Jason had arrived back on the sidings very tired. He was just going to sleep when Ash came up in his cheeky way.
 * Ash: Wake up, lazybones. Do some hard work for a change. You can't catch me!
 * George Carlin: And off he ran laughing. Instead of going to sleep again, Jason thought how he can back at Ash. One morning, Ash wouldn't wake up. His driver and fireman couldn't make him start. His fire went out and there was not enough steam. It was nearly time for the express. People are waiting, but the coaches weren't ready. At last, Ash started.
 * Ash: Oh dear, oh dear!
 * George Carlin: He yawned. He fussed into the station where Jason was waiting.
 * Jason: Hurry up, you!
 * George Carlin: Said Jason.
 * Ash: Hurry up yourself.
 * George Carlin: Replied Ash. Jason the proud character began making his plan to teach Ash a lesson for teasing him. Almost before the coaches had stopped moving, Jason reversed quickly and was coupled to the train.
 * Jason: Get in quickly, please!
 * George Carlin: He whistled. Ash usually pushed behind the big trains to help them start, but he was always uncoupled first. This time, Jason start so quickly they forgot to uncouple Ash. Jason's chance had come.
 * Jason: Come on, come on!
 * George Carlin: Puffed Jason to the coaches. The train went faster and faster. Too fast for Ash, he wanted to stop, but he couldn't.
 * Ash: Peep peep! Stop, stop!
 * Jason: Hurry, hurry, hurry!
 * George Carlin: Laughed Jason.
 * Coaches: You can't get away, you can't get away!
 * George Carlin: Laughed the coaches. Poor Ash was going faster than he had ever gone before. He was out of breath and his feet hurt him, but he had to go on.
 * Ash: I shall never be the same again.
 * George Carlin: He thought sadly.
 * Ash: My feet will be quite worn out.
 * George Carlin: At last, they stopped at the station. Ash was uncoupled and he felt very silly and exhausted. Next he went on to the turntable thinking of everyone laughing at him. And then he ran on to a siding out of the way.
 * Jason: Well, little Ash.
 * George Carlin: Chuckled Jason.
 * Jason: Now you know what hard work means, don't you?
 * George Carlin: Poor Ash couldn't answer. He had no breath. He just puffed slowly away to rest and had a long long drink.
 * Ash: Maybe I don't have to tease Jason to feel important.
 * George Carlin: Ash thought to himself. And he puffed slowly home.

Mighty Mouse Helps Out

 * George Carlin: One day, Mighty Mouse was in the house where he lived with the other characters. They were all bigger than Mighty Mouse and boasted about it.
 * Jason: The driver won't choose you again.
 * George Carlin: Said Jason.
 * Jason: He wants strong characters like us.
 * George Carlin: But the driver and fireman felt sorry for Mighty Mouse.
 * Driver: Would you like to come out today?
 * Mighty Mouse: Oh yes, please.
 * George Carlin: Said Mighty Mouse. So they lit his fire, made lots of steam and Mighty Mouse puffed away. The other characters were very cross of being left behind. Mighty Mouse worked hard all day. The coaches thought he was very kind and the driver was very pleased.
 * Mighty Mouse: I'm going out again tomorrow.
 * George Carlin: Mighty Mouse told the other characters that night.
 * Mighty Mouse: What do you think at that?
 * George Carlin: But he didn't hear what they thought, for he was so tired and happy that he fell asleep at once. Next morning, Mighty Mouse woke up to find nothing had changed. Jason was still boasting.
 * Jason: You watch me, little Mighty Mouse, as I rush through with the express. That will be a splendid sight for you. Goodbye, little Mighty Mouse. Look out for me this afternoon.
 * George Carlin: Mighty Mouse went off to do some shunting. He like shunting. It was fun playing with Beedrill. He would come out quietly and gave them a push. Then he would stop, and the silly Beedrill will go bump into the each other.
 * Beedrill: Oh!
 * George Carlin: They cried.
 * Beedrill: Whatever is happening?
 * George Carlin: Jason played till there were no more Beedrill. Then he stopped to rest. Presently, he heard a whistle. Jason was cross. Instead of pulling shiny new coaches, he was pulling a dirty freight train.
 * Jason: A freight train, a freight train, a freight train!
 * George Carlin: He grumbled.
 * Jason: The shame of it, the shame of it, oh, the shame of it!
 * George Carlin: Mighty Mouse laughed and went to find some more Beedrill. Then, there was trouble.
 * Porter: Jason can't get up the hill.
 * George Carlin: The porter called to Mighty Mouse's Driver.
 * Porter: Will you take Mighty Mouse and push him please?
 * George Carlin: They found Jason halfway up, and very cross. His driver and fireman were talking to him severely.
 * Driver: You're not trying.
 * Jason: I can't do it!
 * George Carlin: Said Jason.
 * Jason: The noisy Beedrill hold a character back so!
 * George Carlin: Hayato's driver came up.
 * Driver: We've come to push.
 * Jason: No use at all!
 * George Carlin: Said Jason.
 * Driver: You wait and see.
 * George Carlin: Replied Mighty Mouse's driver. They brought the train back to the bottom of the hill.
 * Mighty Mouse: I'm ready.
 * George Carlin: Said Mighty Mouse
 * Jason: No good.
 * George Carlin: Grumbled Jason. They pulled and pushed as hard as they could.
 * Jason: I can't do it, I can't do it, I can't do it!
 * George Carlin: Puffed Jason.
 * Mighty Mouse: I will do it, I will do it, I will do it!
 * George Carlin: Puffed Mighty Mouse. Mighty Mouse pushed and puffed and puffed and pushed as hard as ever he could. And almost before he realized it, Jason found himself at the top of the hill.
 * Jason: I've done it, I've done it, I've done it!
 * George Carlin: He said proudly. He forgot all about kind Mighty Mouse and didn't say thank you. Mighty Mouse was left out of breath and far behind, but he was happy because he had been so helpful. At the next station, he found that the driver and fireman were very pleased with him. The fireman gave him a nice long drink and the driver said...
 * Driver: I'll get out my paint tomorrow, and give you your beautiful coat of blue with red stripes, then you'll be the smartest character in the shed.

Come Out, Leonardo!

 * George Carlin: Once a turtle hooked to some Arcanine was afraid of a few drops of rain. It went into a tunnel and squeaked through its funnel, and wouldn't come out again. The turtle's name is Leonardo. His driver and fireman argued with him, but he would not move.
 * Leonardo: The rain would spoil my personal shell.
 * George Carlin: He said. The conductor blew his whistle till he had no more breath, and waved his flag till his arms ached, but Leo still stayed in the tunnel and blew steam at him.
 * Leonardo: I'm not going to spoil my shell for you.
 * George Carlin: Then, along came Yugi Moto, the duelist of charge of all the characters on the land of Cartoons.
 * Yugi: We will pull you out.
 * George Carlin: Said Yugi Moto. But Leo only kicked dust at him. Everyone pulled except Yugi Moto.
 * Yugi: Because...
 * George Carlin: He said.
 * Yugi ...my doctor has forbidden me to pull.
 * George Carlin: But still, Leo stayed in the tunnel. Then, they tried pushing from the other end. Yugi Moto said...
 * Yugi: One, two, three, push!
 * George Carlin: …but he didn't help.
 * Yugi: My doctor has forbidden me to push.
 * George Carlin: He said. They pushed, and pushed, and pushed, but still, Leo stayed in the tunnel. At last, Ash came along. The conductor waved his red flag and stopped him. Everyone argued with Leo.
 * Everyone: Look, it has stopped raining.
 * George Carlin: They said.
 * Leonardo: Yes, but it will began again soon.
 * George Carlin: Said Leonardo.
 * Leonardo: And what will become with my personal shell then?
 * George Carlin: Ash pushed and puffed and pushed as hard as ever he could, but still Leo stayed in the tunnel. Eventually, even Yugi Moto gave up.
 * Yugi: We shall take away your rails...
 * George Carlin: He said.
 * Yugi: …and leave you here until you're ready to come out of the tunnel.
 * George Carlin: They took up the old rails, and built a wall in front of Leo so that other character wouldn't bump into him. All Leonardo could do was to watch the trains rushing through the other tunnel. He was very sad, because he thought no one would see his shell again. As time went on, Mighty Mouse and Jason would often pass by. Mighty Mouse would say...
 * Mighty Mouse: Peep, peep! Hello!
 * George Carlin: And Jason would say...
 * Jason: Boop, boop, boop! Serves you right!
 * George Carlin: Poor Leo had no steam to answer. His fire had gone out. Soot and dirt from the tunnel had spoilt his shell anyway. How long do you think Leo would stay in the tunnel before he overcomes his fear of the rain, but then decides to journey out again?

Leonardo to the Rescue

 * George Carlin: Jason always pulled the Tyrannosaurus Express. He was proud to be the only character strong enough to do so. It was full of important people, like Yugi Moto, and Jason was seeing how fast he could go.
 * Jason: Hurry, hurry, hurry!
 * Ringo Starr: He said.
 * Coaches: Trickety-trock, trickety-trock, tricktey-trock!
 * George Carlin: Said the coaches. In a minute, Jason will see the tunnel where Leonardo stood bricked up and lonely.
 * Leonardo: Oh, dear. Why did I worried about rain spoiling my lovely shell I'd like to come out of the tunnel.
 * George Carlin: But Leonardo didn't know how to ask.
 * Jason: I'm going to boop boop at Leonardo.
 * George Carlinr: Said Jason. He was almost there when... "Wheesh!" And there was proud Jason going slower and slower in a cloud of steam. His driver stopped the train.
 * Jason: What has happen to me?
 * George Carlin: Asked Jason.
 * Jason: I feel so weak.
 * Driver: You burst your safety valves.
 * George Carlin: Said the driver.
 * Driver: You can't pull the train anymore.
 * Jason: Oh dear.
 * George Carlin: Said Jason.
 * Jason: We were going so nicely too. And look, there's Leonardo laughing at me.
 * George Carlin: Everyone came to see Jason.
 * Yugi: Hmph.
 * George Carlin: Said Yugi Moto.
 * Yugi: These big characters are always causing me trouble. Send for another character at once.
 * George Carlin: While the conductor went to find one, they uncoupled Jason who had enough puff to slink on the siding out of the way. Mighty Mouse was the only character left.
 * Mighty Mouse: I'll come and try.
 * Jason: Hmph.
 * George Carlin: Said Jason.
 * Jason: That's no use. Mighty Mouse can't push the train.
 * George Carlin: The kind Mighty Mouse puffed and pushed and pushed and puffed but he couldn't move the heavy coaches.
 * Jason: I told you so.
 * George Carlin: Said Jason.
 * Jason: Why not let Leo try?
 * Yugi: Yes.
 * George Carlin: Said Yugi Moto.
 * Yugi: I will. Will you help pull this train, Leo?
 * Leonardo: Oh yes.
 * George Carlin: Said Leo. When Leo had got up steam, he puffed out. He was dirty and covered with cobwebs.
 * Leonardo: Oh, I'm stiffed, I'm stiffed.
 * George Carlin: He groaned.
 * Yugi: Have a run to ease your joints and find a turntable.
 * George Carlin: Said Yugi Moto. When Leo came back, he felt much better. Then they coupled him up.
 * Mighty Mouse: Peep peep.
 * George Carlin: Said Mighty Mouse.
 * Mighty Mouse: I'm ready.
 * Leonardo: Peep peep peep.
 * George Carlin: Said Leo.
 * Leonardo: So am I. Pull hard, we'll do it! Pull hard, we'll do it!
 * George Carlin: They puffed together.
 * Leonardo: We've done it together! We've done it together!
 * George Carlin: Said Mighty Mouse and Leo.
 * Coaches: You've done it hurray! You've done it hurray!
 * George Carlin: Sang the coaches. Everyone was excited. Yugi Moto leaned out on the window to wave at Mighty Mouse and Leo. But the train was going so fast, that his hat blew off into a field where a goat ate it for tea. They never stopped 'til they came to the station at the end of the line. The passengers all said thank you, and Yugi Moto promised Leo a new coat of paint. One their way home, Mighty Mouse and Leo helped Jason back to the shed. All three characters are now great friends. Leo doesn't mind the rain now. He knows that the best way to keep his paint nicely not to run into tunnels, but to ask his driver to rub him down when the day's work was over.

A Big Day for Ash

 * George Carlin: Ash Ketchum was grumbling to the other characters.
 * Ash: I spent my time pulling coaches about ready for you to take out on journeys.
 * George Carlin: The other characters laughed.
 * Ash: Why can't I pull passenger trains too?
 * Jason: You're too impatient.
 * George Carlin: They said.
 * Jason: You'd be sure to leave something behind.
 * Ash: Rubbish!
 * George Carlin: Said Ash.
 * Ash: I'll show you.
 * George Carlin: One night, he and Leonardo were alone. Leonardo was ill. The men worked hard, but he didn't get better. He felt just as bad next morning. Leonardo usually pull the first train and Ash had to get his coaches ready.
 * Ash: If Leonardo is ill.
 * George Carlin: He thought.
 * Ash: Perhaps I shall pull his train.
 * George Carlin: Ash ran off to find the coaches.
 * Ash: Come along, come along.
 * George Carlin: He fussed.
 * Coaches: There's plenty of time, there's plenty of time!
 * George Carlin: They grumbled. Ash took them to the platform and wanted to run round at once. But his driver wouldn't let him.
 * Driver: Don't be impatient, Ash.
 * George Carlin: Ash waited and waited. The people got in, the conductor and stationmaster walked up and down, the porter banged the doors and still Leonardo didn't come. Ash got more and more excited. Yugi Moto came to see what was the matter, and the conductor and stationmaster told him about Leonardo.
 * Yugi: Find another character.
 * George Carlin: He ordered.
 * Both: There's only Ash.
 * George Carlin: They said.
 * Yugi: You'll have to do it then, Ash. Be quick now.
 * George Carlin: So Ash ran round to the front and back down on the coaches ready to start.
 * Driver: Let's not be impatient.
 * George Carlin: Said his driver.
 * Driver: We'll wait till everything was ready.
 * George Carlin: But Ash was too excited to listen. What happened then, no one knows. Perhaps they forgot to couple Ash to the train, or perhaps the Driver pulled the leather by mistake. Anyhow, Ash started without his coaches. As the pass the signal tower, men waved and shouted, but he didn't stop.
 * Ash: They're waving because I'm such a splendid character.
 * George Carlin: He thought importantly.
 * Ash: Leonardo says it's hard to pull trains, but I think it's easy. Hurry, hurry, hurry!
 * George Carlin: He puffed, pretending to be like Jason.
 * Ash: People had never seen me pulling a train before. It's nice of them to wave.
 * George Carlin: And he whistled.
 * Ash: Peep peep! Thank you.
 * George Carlin: Then he came to a signal at danger.
 * Ash: Bother!
 * George Carlin: He thought.
 * Ash: I must stop, and I was going so nicely too. What a nuisance signals are.
 * George Carlin: He blew an angry "Peep peep!" on his whistle. The signalman ran up.
 * Signalman: Hello, Ash.
 * George Carlin: He said.
 * Signalman: What are you doing here?
 * Ash: I'm pulling the train.
 * George Carlin: Said Ash.
 * Ash: Can't you see?
 * Signalman: Where are your coaches then?
 * George Carlin: Ash looked back.
 * Ash: Why bless me.
 * George Carlin: He said.
 * Ash: If we hadn't leave them behind.
 * Signalman: Yes.
 * George Carlin: Said the signalman.
 * Signalman: You better go quickly and fetch them.
 * George Carlin: Poor Ash was so sad he nearly cried.
 * Driver: Cheer up.
 * George Carlin: Said his driver.
 * Driver: Let's go back quickly and try again.
 * George Carlin: At the station, all the passengers were talking at once. They were telling Yugi Moto what a bad railway it was. But when Ash came back, they saw how sad he was and couldn't be cross. He was coupled to the train, and this time he really pulled it. Afterwards, the other characters laughed at Ash and said...
 * Leonardo: Look! There's Ash, who wanted to pull the train, but forgot about the coaches.
 * George Carlin: But Ash had already learned, not to make the same mistake again.

Trouble for Ash

 * George Carlin: Ash Ketchum wouldn't stop being a nuisance. Night after night, he kept the other characters awake.
 * Ash: I'm tired of pushing coaches. I wanna see the world.
 * George Carlin: The other characters didn't take much notice, for Ash was a little character with a long tongue. But one night, Mighty Mouse came to the shed. He was a kind little character and felt sorry for Ash.
 * Mighty Mouse: I've got some Beedrill to take home tomorrow. If you take them instead of me, I'll push coaches in the yard.
 * Ash: Thank you.
 * George Carlin: Said Ash.
 * Ash: That would be nice.
 * George Carlin: Next morning, Mighty Mouse and Ash asked their drivers, and when they said "yes", Ash ran off happily to find Beedrill. Now the Beedrill were silly and noisy. They talked a lot and don't attend to what they are doing. And I'm sorry to say they play tricks on a character who is not used to them. Mighty Mouse knew all about the Beedrill. He warned Ash to be careful but Ash was too excited to listen. The shunter fastened the coupling and when the signal dropped, Ash was ready. The conductor blew his whistle.
 * Ash: Peep Peep.
 * George Carlin: Answered Ash and started off. But the Beedrill weren't ready.
 * Beedrill: Oh! Oh!
 * George Carlin: They screamed.
 * Beedrill: Wait, Ash, wait!
 * George Carlin: But Ash wouldn't wait.
 * Ash: Come on come on.
 * George Carlin: He puffed.
 * Beedrill: All right, don't fuss! All right, don't fuss!
 * George Carlin: Grumbled the Beedrill. Ash began going faster and faster.
 * Ash: Wheesh!
 * George Carlin: He whistled, as he rush through Leonardo's tunnel.
 * Ash: Hurry, hurry.
 * George Carlin: Called Ash. He was feeling very proud of himself. But the Beedrill grew crosser and crosser. At last Ash slowed down as he came to Jason's Hill.
 * Ash's Driver: Steady, now, steady.
 * George Carlin: Warned the driver, as he reach the top. He began to put on the brakes.
 * Ash: We're stopping, we're stopping!
 * George Carlin: Called Ash.
 * Beedrill: No, no, no!
 * George Carlin: Answered the Beedrill bumping them to each other.
 * Beedrill: Go on! Go on!
 * George Carlin: Before the driver could stop them they had pushed Ash down the hill and were rattling and laughing behind them. Poor Ash tried hard to stop them from making him go too fast.
 * Ash: Stop pushing, stop pushing!
 * George Carlin: He hissed. But the Beedrill took no notice.
 * Beedrill: Go on! Go on!
 * George Carlin: They giggled in their silly way.
 * Ash: There's the station! Oh dear, what shall I do?
 * George Carlin: Cried Ash. They rattled straight through and swerved into the goods yard. Ash shut his eyes.
 * Ash: I must stop!
 * George Carlin: When he opened his eyes, he saw he had stopped just in front of the buffers. There watching him was...Yugi Moto.
 * Yugi: What are you doing here, Ash?
 * George Carlin: He asked.
 * Ash: I brought Mighty Mouse's Beedrill.
 * George Carlin: Ash answered.
 * Yugi: Why did you come so fast?
 * Ash: I didn't mean to. I was pushed.
 * George Carlin: Said Ash.
 * Yugi: You've got a lot to learn about Beedrill, Ash. After pushing them about here for a few weeks you'll know almost as much about them as Mighty Mouse. Then you'll be a Really Useful Trainer.

Ash Saves the Day

 * George Carlin: Every day, Yugi Moto came to the school to see his students.
