A Clean Shave for Rosie Television Script

Narrator: Rosie the Feisty Energetic Engine trundled devastatingly to Henry’s Station.

Rosie: “It’s not fair.”

Narrator: she complained.

Rosie: “Daisy has been telling fibs about me, and she made our railroad manager and all of my close friends think I’m pesky to the bone.”

Narrator: Henry smiled at Rosie.

Henry: “I know you aren't, Rosie, and so does our railroad manager and our close friends, you just wait and see, why don’t you help me with those Freight Cars?”

Narrator: Rosie was feeling more cheerful with Henry, and she set off to work at 1ce.

Narrator: The Freight Cars were crazy, heavy, and noisy, the 2 train engines had to work very hard pushing and pulling them all afternoon.

Narrator: At last they made it up the hill.

Rosie: “Thank you, goodbye.”

Narrator: whistled Rosie and she rolled gently over the crossing to the other line.

Narrator: Rosie loved coasting down the hill running easily with the wind whistling past, and suddenly, it was the signal guard’s signal whistle.

Freight Cars: “Yahoo, yahoo, Yahoo!"

Narrator: the Freight Cars laughed in unison

Freight Cars: “We broken away, we broken away, chase her, bump her, throw her off the rails!”

Narrator: they exclaimed in unison.

Rosie’s Driver: “Hurry up, Rosie, hurry up!”

Narrator: exclaimed her driver.

Narrator: They raced around through Henry’s station, but the Freight Cars were catching up to them.

Rosie’s Driver: “Just as fast as we can, then they’ll catch us gradually!”

Narrator: Rosie’s driver was gaining self-control.

Rosie’s Driver: “Another clear mile, Rosie, and we’ll do it!”

Rosie: “Oh wow, look at that!”

Narrator: Gordon was just pulling out on their line from the railroad station ahead, but any minute now, there could be a crash.

Rosie’s Driver: “It’s up to you now, Rosie.”

Narrator: said her driver.

Narrator: Rosie put every single ounce of weight and steam against the Freight Cars.

Rosie: “It’s too late!”

Narrator: Rosie groaned in fear, and shut her eyes.

Narrator: She went into a siding where the barber had set up shop, he was shaving a customer.

''CRASH! ''

Narrator: The crazy Freight Cars had knocked their signal guard off his feet and left him very far behind right after he had whistled the warning.

Narrator: But the Freight Cars didn’t care about it, they were feeling very amused with themselves.

Rosie: “Beg pardon, kind sir.”

Narrator: gasped Rosie.

Rosie: “Excuse my intrusion.”

Barber: “No I won’t.”

Narrator: said the barber angrily.

Barber: “You terrified my customers, I’ll teach you.”

Narrator: And he lathered Rosie’s face all over.

Narrator: Poor Rosie.

Narrator: Duck was helping to pull the Freight Cars away when the manager arrived.

Barber: “I don’t like train engines bursting through my walls, they frighten my customers.”

Narrator: fumed the barber angrily.

Railroad Manger: “I understand your emotions.”

Narrator: said the manager."

Railroad Manager: “But you must know that this train engine and her driver have prevented a very serious accident, it was a very clean, uh….. shave.”

Barber: “Oh…………”

Narrator: said the barber

Barber: “Oh excuse me.”

Narrator: He filled a clean blue bowl of ice cold water and washed Rosie’s face.

Barber: “I’m terribly sorry, Rosie, I didn’t know you were being a very brave train engine.”

Rosie: “That’s all right, kind sir, I didn’t know about that either.”

Railroad Manager: “You were very brave and heroic indeed, Rosie.”

Narrator: said the manager.

Railroad Manager: “We’re very proud of you.”

Narrator: The manager watched the rescue operation then he had more good news for Rosie.

Railroad Manager: And when you’re properly washed and repaired, you’re coming back home.

Rosie: “Home, kind sir? do you mean the train engine yard?”

Railroad Manager: “Of course.”

Rosie: “But they don’t like me, they like Daisy.”

Railroad Manager: “Not right now, we never believed Daisy, so we sent her packing, Thomas, Percy and the other train engines are terribly sorry and want you back with them.”

Narrator: And so a few days later when she came back home there was a congratulating welcome for Rosie the Feisty Energetic Engine.
