Thomas In Trouble Transcript

Transcript

 * Michael Brandon: It was a busy day for the engines on Sir Topham Hatt's railway. Gordon was taking passengers across the island. He felt magnificent. Henry was delivering logs to the lumberyards. He was right on time. Percy was pleased to be pulling mail cars. James was happily hauling flatbeds of paint. And Salty was carefully shunting wagons of fish at Brendam Docks. But Thomas and Emily were at the fitters' yard for repairs.
 * Emily: I can't wait to get back to work. I'm taking the school choir to their concert.
 * Michael Brandon: Emily was ready to go.
 * Emily: Good-bye, Thomas.
 * Michael Brandon: She whistled.
 * Emily: Good luck with your final inspection.
 * Thomas: Thank you, Emily.
 * Michael Brandon: Tooted Thomas. Then James puffed in to deliver his paint.
 * James: Bust my boiler.
 * Michael Brandon: He laughed.
 * James: You've broken down, Thomas.
 * Thomas: No, I haven't.
 * Michael Brandon: Huffed Thomas.
 * James: You must have done.
 * Michael Brandon: Snorted James.
 * James: Otherwise you wouldn't be at the fitters' yard. What a shame you're not a smart and useful engine like me.
 * Michael Brandon: That made Thomas cross. Sir Topham Hatt arrived.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Thomas.
 * Michael Brandon: Boomed Sir Topham Hatt.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Are you ready to take the school choir to their concert?
 * Thomas: Nearly ready, sir.
 * Michael Brandon: Puffed Thomas excitedly.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Nearly ready isn't good enough.
 * Michael Brandon: Said Sir Topham Hatt. Thomas didn't want anyone else to collect the school choir. Carrying children was his favorite job. So Thomas decided he would leave before his final inspection.
 * Thomas: I'm ready now, sir.
 * Michael Brandon: He puffed. And Thomas chuffed away to pick up Annie and Clarabel. Thomas was puffing up the line. He began to make strange noises. Annie and Clarabel knew something was wrong.
 * Annie and Clarabel: Something's wrong-- clackety-clong, clackety-clong. Something's wrong.
 * Michael Brandon: But Thomas wasn't listening. The school choir cheered when they saw Thomas.
 * Thomas: All aboard.
 * Michael Brandon: Chuffed Thomas cheerfully as he clankety-clonged into Knapford Station.
 * Emily: Who is making that nasty noise?
 * Michael Brandon: Wheeshed Emily. Emily saw it was Thomas.
 * Emily: Did you have your final inspection?
 * Michael Brandon: Asked Emily. This made Thomas cross.
 * Thomas: I'm fine.
 * Michael Brandon: He huffed. And he steamed away with the choir on board. Thomas rattled even more.
 * Thomas: Clackety-clong, clackety-clong.
 * Michael Brandon: Later, Thomas had to stop at a signal. He was feeling hot and bothered. Toby saw that something was wrong with Thomas.
 * Toby: Did you take on enough water at the fitters' yard?
 * Michael Brandon: This made Thomas even more cross.
 * Thomas: There's nothing wrong with me.
 * Michael Brandon: Just then, the signal changed. Thomas puffed away. Thomas was rattling and steaming more and more.
 * Thomas: Clackety-clong, clackety-clong.
 * Michael Brandon: Further up the line, Percy was waiting at a crossing.
 * Percy: What's happened to you, Thomas?
 * Michael Brandon: Cried Percy.
 * Percy: You look puffed out.
 * Thomas: Bother.
 * Michael Brandon: Steamed Thomas. He didn't like being told there was something wrong with him.
 * Thomas: There's nothing wrong with me, Percy.
 * Michael Brandon: Thomas huffed. The barrier opened. Thomas rattled away.
 * Thomas: Clackety-clong, clackety-clong.
 * Michael Brandon: Then there was trouble. Thomas began to chuff slower and slower.
 * Thomas: I need a rest.
 * Michael Brandon: He gasped. Thomas clackety-clonged into a siding. Steam burst from his boiler and black smoke flew from his funnel. With a final clackety-clong, Thomas broke down. Thomas felt terrible. The school choir began to sing to pass the time.
 * Thomas: The children will be late for their concert.
 * Michael Brandon: Thomas wailed sadly.
 * Thomas: And it will all be my fault. I've let everyone down.
 * Michael Brandon: Thomas was upset. Just then, Gordon puffed around the bend.
 * Thomas: I've broken down
 * Michael Brandon: Groaned Thomas.
 * Gordon; Sorry, Thomas.
 * Michael Brandon: Steamed Gordon.
 * Gordon: I'm a guaranteed connection.
 * Thomas: Now what am I going to do?
 * Michael Brandon: Cried Thomas. He was worried. Then, Thomas heard a whistle. It was James.
 * Thomas: If I ask James for help, he'll laugh at me again. But I don't want the children to miss their concert.
 * Michael Brandon: So Thomas tooted as loud as he could toot.
 * Thomas: Stop!
 * James: Bust my boiler.
 * Michael Brandon: Laughed James.
 * James: I said you were a broken down little engine.
 * Thomas: I am.
 * Michael Brandon: Sighed Thomas.
 * Thomas: So I need your help. Can you take the children to their concert?
 * Michael Brandon: Thomas whistled. Now James didn't laugh at Thomas. He could see Thomas was in trouble, and he was happy to help his friend.
 * James: I'll get the children there on time.
 * Michael Brandon: He wheeshed. Thomas knew he had to get back to be repaired as quickly as possible. Henry was sent to collect Thomas. He soon buffered up and shunted Thomas to the fitters' yard. Before long, Thomas was as good as new. He had even waited for his final inspection. Sir Topham Hatt arrived.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: You have been very patient, Thomas. I have a special job for you. You are to collect the choir and bring them home again.
 * Thomas: Thank you, sir.
 * Michael Brandon: Chuffed Thomas. He was delighted.
 * Thomas: Clankety-clong, nothing is wrong.
 * Michael Brandon: He laughed. And Thomas smiled all the way to the concert.
