Transcript
Narrator: "One morning, Pongo was being cleaned when Sir Ector arrived. Mud had blown all over his body."

Pongo: "Hello Sir Ector."

Narrator: "Called Pongo."

Pongo: "You look as if you've had a mudbath. Be a sensible man. Have a shower instead."

Narrator: "Sir Ector snorted."

Sir Ector: "I haven't time to dawdle over my appearance like fussy dalmatians do."

Narrator: "The wind blew stronger."

Sir Ector's Driver: "Whew, Sir Ector, slow down!"

Narrator: "Called his driver. This made Sir Ector crosser still."

Sir Ector: "I'll be dirty and late, dirty and late!"

Narrator: "He hissed.

At the next station was a sign: "All Disney Characters Must Wash Down Daily".

Donald had just finished being cleaned."

Sir Ector's Driver: "Come on, Sir Ector."

Narrator: "Said his driver."

Sir Ector's Driver: "You'll feel better after a good hose down."

Sir Ector: "Pah!"

Narrator: "Said Sir Ector, and angrily shook his body."

Sir Ector's Driver: "You're a very naughty man!"

Narrator: "Said Sir Ector's driver."

Sir Ector's Driver: "Now Donald will need another shower. You'll have to wait your turn till later."

Sir Ector: "Good riddance!"

Narrator: "Huffed Sir Ector."

Sir Ector: "I'm far too busy to waste time with water."

Narrator: "He finished his journey safely and arrived at the big station. Mickey Mouse was waiting, so were Sir Ector's flowers and the passengers."

Mickey Mouse: "Goodness gracious!"

Narrator: "Said Mickey."

Mickey Mouse: "You can't take the flowers. Baloo will have to do it. Sir Ector, you'd better get cleaned straight away."

Narrator: "Sir Ector was soon being washed."

Sir Ector: "Mind my eyes!"

Narrator: "He grumbled.

Then he pulled pirates for the rest of the day."

Narrator: "He bumped them hard."

Sir Ector: "That's for you, and you, and you!"

Donald Duck: "Pirates will be pirates."

Narrator: "Said Donald."

Sir Ector: "They won't with me."

Narrator: "Snorted Sir Ector."

Sir Ector: "I'll teach them!"

Narrator: "Donald got ready to take the express when Sir Ector returned."

Sir Ector: "Be careful."

Narrator: "Warned Sir Ector."

Sir Ector: "The hills are slippery and you may need help."

Donald Duck: "I don't need help on hills."

Narrator: "Replied Donald huffily."

Donald Duck: "Sir Ector thinks he knows everything."

Narrator: "Earlier a storm had swept Sir Ector's hill, blowing leaves onto the road, which made it slippery.

Even though the storm had passed, the hill was still difficult to climb. Donald knew this.

The signal showed clear, and Donald began to go faster."

Donald Duck: "I'll do it, I'll do it."

Narrator: "He puffed.

Halfway up, he was not so sure."

Donald Duck: "I must do it, I must do it!"

Narrator: "But his feet slipped on the leaves. He couldn't pull the line at all."

Donald Duck: "Help, help!"

Narrator: "Whistled Donald. His feet were moving forward, but the heavy flowers pulled him backwards.

The whole line started slipping down the hill. His driver put on the brakes. Then carefully, he stopped the line.

Sir Ector saw everything."

Sir Ector: "Ah well, we live and learn. Never mind, little Donald, I'm going to push behind."

Narrator: "Clouds of smoke and steam towered above the snorting Disney Characters."

Donald Duck: "We can do it!"

Narrator: "Puffed Donald."

Sir Ector: "We will do it!"

Narrator: "Puffed Sir Ector.

At last, they reached the top."

Donald Duck: "Peep, peep! Thank you. Goodbye."

Narrator: "Whistled Donald."

Sir Ector: "Goodbye."

Narrator: "Answered Sir Ector.

That night, Mickey came to see the Disney Characters."

Pongo: "Please, sir."

Narrator: "Said Pongo."

Pongo: "Can Sir Ector take flowers again now?"

Mickey Mouse: If you understand that having a washdown is essential to every Disney Character, then yes, Sir Ector, you may."

Sir Ector: "Thank you."

Narrator: "Grunted Sir Ector. The other Disney Characters settled happily to sleep."

Sir Ector: "Dirty or clean, I'm a famous man."

Narrator: "Murmured Sir Ector. But no one heard but him."
