Trust Ash

 * George Carlin: Ash Ketchum was feeling bright and cheerful. It was a splendid day.
 * Ash: Good morning.
 * George Carlin: He whistled to some cows, but the cows didn't reply.
 * Ash: Never mind.
 * George Carlin: Said Ash.
 * Ash: They're busy with their breakfast.
 * George Carlin: Next he saw Sonic.
 * Ash: Hello, Sonic. Care for a race today?
 * George Carlin: But all Sonic could say was...
 * Sonic: Ouch! That's another hole in the road!
 * Ash: I'm sorry, Sonic.
 * George Carlin: Smiled Ash. Ash was still in good spirits when Sonic arrived at the next station.
 * Ash: Bad luck, Sonic. Now if you're a steam character, you would run a repair on reliable rails.
 * Sonic: Huh!
 * George Carlin: Replied Sonic.
 * Sonic: The railway was suppose to deliver the tar to mend the road two weeks ago. You can't trust a thing that runs on rails.
 * Ash: I run on rails. You can trust me, Sonic. I'll see if I can find out what's happened.
 * George Carlin: And Ash puffed away towards the big station. Raimundo was snorting about in the yard.
 * Raimundo: It's too bad!
 * George Carlin: He grumbled.
 * Raimundo: Alex goes to work at the harbour and I do his job, here, there and everywhere! Take that!
 * Beedrill: Ooh!
 * George Carlin: Groaned the Beedrill.
 * Beedrill: Just you wait, we'll show you!
 * George Carlin: Terry laughed.
 * Terry: I'll tell you what, Raimundo. If you pretended to be ill everywhere, you couldn't shunt Beedrill here, or go to the quarry there, could you?
 * Raimundo: What a good idea.
 * George Carlin: Agreed Raimundo.
 * Raimundo: Look, here comes Ash. I'll start pretending now
 * George Carlin: Ash was sorry to see the characters looking miserable
 * Ash: Cheer up.
 * George Carlin: He puffed.
 * Ash: It's a beautiful day.
 * Terry: Yes.
 * George Carlin: Grumbled Terry.
 * Terry: But not for Raimundo.
 * Ash:  What's the matter?
 * George Carlin: Asked Ash.
 * Terry: He's sick.
 * George Carlin: Replied Terry.
 * Raimundo: Yes he is. I mean I am.
 * George Carlin: Stuttered Raimundo.
 * Raimundo: I don't feel well at all.
 * Ash: Don't worry.
 * George Carlin: Said Ash kindly.
 * Ash: I'll help out if you're ill.
 * George Carlin: Terry and Raimundo sniggered quietly to each other. Some of Raimundo's Beedrill were coupled behind Ash and he steamed away to the quarry. The Beedrill were still cross.
 * Beedrill: We couldn't pay Raimundo back for bumping us, so we'll play tricks on Ash nstead. One character is as good as another.
 * George Carlin: But Ash didn't hear them. He collected all the stone from the quarry and set off back to the junction. Danger lay ahead.
 * Beedrill: Now for our plan!
 * George Carlin: Giggled the Beedrill.
 * Beedrill: Go faster, go faster!
 * George Carlin: They pushed Ash over the switches.
 * Ash's Driver: Slow down!
 * George Carlin: Called Ash's driver and applied the brakes.
 * (Ash hits the buffers, and a log snaps apart, sending him floating into another set of buffers)
 * George Carlin: Poor Ash stood dazed and surprised in the muddy pool, as a toad eyed in suspiciously.
 * Ash: Bust my buffers.
 * George Carlin: Muttered Ash.
 * Ash: The day started so well too.
 * George Carlin: Virgil pulled away the Beedrill, and Kevin helped Ash back to the junction. Suddenly, Ash remembered the missing tar. He told Kevin all about him.
 * Kevin: That's strange.
 * George Carlin: Said Kevin.
 * Kevin: A car full of tar been left in my station. That must be it. Driver will make sure it gets to Sonic now.
 * George Carlin: Later, Raimundo spoke to Ash.
 * Raimundo: I'm sorry about your accident.
 * George Carlin: He muttered.
 * Raimundo: And so is Terry. We didn't mean to get you into trouble.
 * Terry: No indeed.
 * George Carlin: Spluttered Terry.
 * Terry: A near misunderstanding, Ash, all's well that ends well.
 * George Carlin: Just then Sonic arrived. He looked much more cheerful.
 * Sonic: My road's being mended now.
 * Ash: Oh, I am glad.
 * George Carlin: Replied Ash.
 * Sonic: Thanks for all you did.
 * George Carlin: Added Sonic.
 * Sonic: Now I know I can trust a character especially his name was Ash.
 * George Carlin: Terry and Raimundo puffed silently away to the shed, but Ash still had company.
 * Ash: Well, well.
 * George Carlin: He sighed.
 * Ash: What a day for surprises.
 * George Carlin: The toad who was looking forward to arrive home noisly agreed.

Mel Blake

 * George Carlin: Mel Blake is a Hoop Kid who works for the school company, arranging Beedrill in their sidings.  She has black shoes hidden by sideplates just like Jackie's. Mel is young and full of her own ideas. She loves rearranging things too and began putting Jackie's Beedrill in different places every day. This made Jackie cross.
 * Jackie: Beedrill...
 * George Carlin: He grumbled.
 * Jackie: ...should be where you want them when you want them.
 * Mel: Fiddlesticks!
 * George Carlin: Said Mel and flounced away. At last, Jackie lost patience.
 * Jackie: I can't waste time playing "Hunt The Beedrill" with you. Take them yourself.
 * George Carlin: Mel was pleased. Taking Beedrill made her feel important. At the station, Ken oiled up to her.
 * Mel: Jackie's an old fusspot.
 * George Carlin: She complained. Ken sense trouble and was delighted.
 * Mel: Jackie says only steam characters can manage Beedrill.
 * George Carlin: Continued Mel.
 * Ken: How observe.
 * George Carlin: Squirmed Ken.
 * Ken: Depend upon it, Mel. Anything steam characters can do, we bad guys can do better.
 * George Carlin: Ken knew nothing about Beedrill, but Mel didn't realize this. Jackie's line crosses the main road behind the station, and for a short way follows a farm lane. Frosty weather makes the mud rock-hard and very slippery. Jackie stops before reaching the lane. His fireman halts the traffic at the level crossing and then he sets off again. By using the heavy cars to push him along, he has no trouble with the frosty rails and the lane and across the road. It is the only thing safe thing to do in this kind of weather. Jackie warned Mel and told her just what to do.
 * Mel: I can manage, thank you.
 * George Carlin: She replied.
 * Mel: I'm not an old fusspot like you.
 * George Carlin: The Beedrill were tired of being pushed around by Mel.
 * Beedrill: It's slippery.
 * George Carlin: They whispered.
 * Beedrill: Let's push her around instead. On, on, on!
 * George Carlin: They yelled. Mel took no notice. Instead, she brought the Beedrill carefully down the lane and stopped at the level crossing. All traffic halted.
 * Mel: One of the headlamp for fusspot Jackie.
 * George Carlin: Chortled Mel. But Mel had stopped in the wrong place. Instead of taking Jackie's advice, she had given the Beedrill the chance they wanted.
 * Beedrill: Hold back! Hold back!
 * George Carlin: They cried.
 * Mel: Grrrr up!
 * George Carlin: Ordered Mel. The Beedrill just laughed and her feet spun headlessly. Workmen sanded the rails and dig away the frozen mud, but it was no good. Everyone was impatient.
 * Mel: Grrrr agh!
 * George Carlin: Wailed Mel. Jackie was in the yard when he heard the news.
 * Jackie: I warned her.
 * George Carlin: He fumed.
 * Jackie's Driver: She's young yet.
 * George Carlin: Soothed his driver.
 * Jackie's Driver: And...
 * Jackie: She can manage her Beedrill herself.
 * George Carlin: Interrupted Jack ie.
 * Jackie 's Driver: They're your Beedrill really.
 * George Carlin: His driver replied.
 * Jackie's Driver: Mel is suppose to stay at the quarry if Steven finds out.
 * Jackie: Mmmm, yes.
 * George Carlin: Said Jackie thoughtfully. He and his driver agreed that'll be best to help Mel after all. An angry farmer was telling Mel just what she could do with her train.
 * Jackie: Having trouble Mel?
 * George Carlin: Chortled Jackie.
 * Jackie: I am surprised.
 * Mel: Grrrr osh!
 * George Carlin: Said Mel.  With much puffing and wheels slipped, Jackie pushed Mel and the Beedrill back. The hard work made his fire burn fiercely, and his fireman spread hot cinders to melt the frozen mud.  At last they finished.
 * Jackie: Goodbye!
 * George Carlin: Called Jackie.
 * Jackie: You'll managed now, I expect.
 * George Carlin: Mel didn't answer. She took the Beedrill to the sheds, and scuttled home to the quarry as quickly as she could.

Jackie's Tightrope

 * George Carlin: One day, Alex arrived at the Cartoon University to collect some stone for his Beedrill.  Snow and frost lay everywhere. There was not a sound to be heard. Alex ventured furthur. He found Mel Blake resting in the shelter of some rocks.
 * Alex: Cheer up, Mel.
 * George Carlin: He whistled. Mel was still remembering the trouble she had with Beedrill.
 * Mel: Manager says I don't listen for his advice. He says I'd no business chortling down Jackie's line. Jackie's a fusspot.
 * Alex: Jackie has forgotten all about Beedrill than you'll ever known.
 * George Carlin: Replied Alex.
 * Alex: You must put the Beedrill where he wants them, then you'll be a really useful kid. Now if you excuse me, I have to take these stones to the harbour.
 * George Carlin: Mel liked Alex but she still wouldn't to his advice.
 * Mel: Why shouldn't I go on Jackie's line.
 * George Carlin: The siding arrangements are awkward. The put the Beedrill where Jackie wanted them, Mel had to make several journeys. She started making a plan.
 * Mel: If we used the key stood on Jackie's line.
 * George Carlin: She said to her driver.
 * Mel: We would save all was bother.
 * George Carlin: Her driver suspecting nothing allow them to go as far as the level crossing. A few days later, the weather changed. As the soon melted, the quarry grew busy again. Some trains were so long that before leaving the cars for Jackie, Mel had to go beyond the level crossing with them. Now for her plan. She would go further down the line without it seeming her fault.
 * Mel: Can you keep a secret?
 * George Carlin: She asked the Beedrill.
 * Beedrill: Yes, yes, yes!
 * George Carlin: They chattered.
 * Mel: Will you bump me at the level crossing and tell no one I ask you?
 * George Carlin: The Beedrill promised. But while Mel was away, Jackie arrived. He decided to shunt the Beedrill himself. The Beedrill decided to bump him anyway. They reached the level crossing and Jackie's brakes came on. This was the signal for the Beedrill.
 * Beedrill: On, on, on!
 * George Carlin: They yelled. Jackie was away. With the Beedrill screaming and yelling behind him. No one realize that melted snow had turned a stream ahead into a torrent and the bridge above it was about to collapse. The rails were now like a tightrope against the thundering water.
 * Jackie: Stop, stop!
 * George Carlin: Cried Jackie. His driver thought for control. They came nearer and nearer by the bridge. It was all of nothing now. The driver breaked hard.  Jackie stopped still on the rails but with his feet shredding the tightrope over the abyss. Mel was horrified and quickly came to the rescue. Workmen anchored Jackie with ropes while she pulled the Beedrill away. Then, she helped Jackie to safety.
 * Mel: I'm sorry about the Beedrill.
 * George Carlin: Said Mel.
 * Mel: I can't think how you manage to stop them in time.
 * Jackie: Oh well.
 * George Carlin: Said Jackie.
 * Jackie: My driver told me about circus people who walked tightropes, but I just didn't fancy doing it myself.
 * George Carlin: Later, Steven arrived.
 * Steven: A very smart piece of work.
 * George Carlin: He said.
 * Steven: Mel, you did well too I hear.
 * Mel: It was my fault about those Beedrill, sir.
 * George Carlin: She faulted.
 * Mel: But if I could...
 * Steven: Could what?
 * Mel: Come down the line sometimes, Sir? Jackie says he'll show me what to do.
 * Steven: Certainly.
 * George Carlin: Replied Steven.
 * Steven: If your manager agrees.
 * George Carlin: And so it was arranged. Now Mel is as happy as can be, and Steven thinks she's really useful indeed.

No Joke For Raimundo

 * George Carlin: Raimundo is a n ordinary Xiaolin Monk. He can arrange both Beedrill and Arcanine. He's proud of his civilian outfit and so was his driver.
 * Raimundo's Driver:  Everyone says you brighten up your day, Raimundo.
 * George Carlin: One morning, Raimundo whistled loudly at the other characters.
 * Raimundo: Look at me! I'm a smartest most useful Xiaolin Monk on the line!
 * Ash: Rubbish.
 * George Carlin: Replied Ash.
 * Ash: We're all useful. Steven says so and he's headed the whole railway.
 * Alex: You know what, Raimundo?
 * George Carlin: Added Alex.
 * Raimundo: What?
 * George Carlin: Replied Raimundo.
 * Alex: You're getting all puffed out.
 * George Carlin: Raimundo huffed away. Later, he was still boasting.
 * Raimundo: I'm the pride of the line.
 * Terry: I saw you're pulling Beedrill.
 * George Carlin: Snorted Terry.
 * Terry: You're only a goods characters.
 * Raimundo: I've pull Arcanine too.
 * Terry: Not as much as I do.
 * Raimundo: But Steven has plans for me.
 * George Carlin: Raimundo was making this up but Terry believe him.
 * Terry: What plans?
 * Raimundo: Uh, wait and see. Oh dear.
 * George Carlin: He thought.
 * Raimundo: Now what'll I do?
 * George Carlin: Ash was shunting shiny new Arcanine.
 * Ash: Good morning, Raimundo.
 * Raimundo: Are those Arcanine for me?
 * George Carlin: Asked Raimundo hopefully.
 * Ash: No, these are for Terry's Express. I'll fetch your Beedrill next.
 * George Carlin: But Raimundo was going to play a trick on the other characters.
 * Raimundo: Actually, Ash, I'm taking the Arcanine. Steven ask me to tell you.
 * Ash: What about the Beedrill?
 * George Carlin: Asked Ash.
 * Raimundo: Uh, give them to Terry.
 * Ash's Driver: Come on, Ash.
 * George Carlin: Said his driver.
 * Ash's Driver: Orders are orders.
 * George Carlin: So when Raimundo's  driver returned, Raimundo was coupled to the Arcanine and he puffed away. Ash returned with the Beedrill. And a few minutes later, Terry arrived.
 * Terry: Where's the express?
 * George Carlin: Ash told him about Raimundo.
 * Ash: And so here are your Beedrill.
 * George Carlin: Terry was very cross and so his driver.
 * Terry's Driver: Wait'll Steven hears about this.
 * George Carlin: Meanwhile Raimundo was enjoying himself enormously.
 * Raimundo: What a clever plan! What a clever plan!
 * George Carlin: He chuffed. Then he saw Steven.
 * Steven: Some jokes are funny, but not this one, Raimundo. You have caused confusion.
 * Raimundo: Yes Sir.
 * George Carlin: Said Raimundo.
 * Steven: You will now stay in your shed until you are wanted.
 * George Carlin: The other characters teased Raimundo.
 * Terry: I wonder who'd be pulling the express today?
 * George Carlin: Said Terry.
 * Shaggy: I expect it'll be you.
 * George Carlin: Replied Shaggy.
 * Shaggy: Raimundo is stuck in the shed for being silly.
 * George Carlin: Raimundo felt sad. Next morning, he went back to work.
 * Ash: Hello.
 * George Carlin: Whistled Ash.
 * Ash: Good to see you out and about again.
 * Raimundo: I'm sorry I tricked you.
 * George Carlin: Said Raimundo.
 * Raimundo: Are these my Beedrill?
 * Ash: Yes.
 * George Carlin: Replied Ash kindly.
 * Ash: They're please to have you back.
 * George Carlin: Raimundo set off to the harbour with a train of Beedrill. He bustled about all day pushing and pulling them into place.
 * Raimundo's Driver: Time to go home now, Raimundo.
 * George Carlin: Said his driver at last.
 * Raimundo's Driver: No Beedrill or passengers. Just we too.
 * George Carlin: But his driver was wrong.
 * Railway Inspector: Excuse me.
 * George Carlin: Called the man.
 * Railway Inspector: I have a meeting with Steven and I mustn't be late. May I ride back with you?
 * Raimundo's Driver: Of course.
 * George Carlin: Replied Raimundo's driver. Then he whispered to Raimundo.
 * Raimundo's Driver: This gentleman is a railway inspector.
 * George Carlin: Raimundo was most impressed. He steamed along the line as smoothly and quickly as he could. Steven was waiting on the platform and the railway inspector greeted him warmly.
 * Railway Inspector: This clever Xiaolin Monk gave me a splendid ride. You must be proud of him.
 * Steven: Yes indeed. Once again, you are a really useful Xiaolin Monk.

Alex's Promise

 * George Carlin: Every summer, the land of YTV is very busy.  Holidaymakers love to sight see. When the weather is fine, there is no better place to visit. Some people like to go to the mountains, others like the valleys. Children love the seaside. One morning, Ash was strolling along the line that runs by the coast. His two girls, Suzy and Pietra, were packed with children going to the beach. Everyone was happy. Alex was taking some Beedrill to the Cartoon University.
 * Alex:  Hello, Ash. You look cheerful. I wish I can take children today instead of Beedrill.
 * Ash : They're in the vicar's Sunday school.
 * George Carlin: Explained Ash.
 * Ash: I'm busy this evening, but the stationmaster says I can ask you to take the children home.
 * Alex: Of course I will.
 * George Carlin: Promised Alex. Later, Alex saw Superman.
 * Superman: Sorry, Alex. Can't talk. I'm on high alert.
 * Alex: Why?
 * Superman: Bad weather's due. My help's always needed. Might how you go, Alex.
 * Alex: Huh.
 * George Carlin: Huffed Alex.
 * Alex: As long I got rails to run on, I can go anywhere and any weather anyhow. Goodbye.
 * Kevin: Be careful.
 * George Carlin: Warned Kevin.
 * Kevin: There's a storm coming.
 * Alex: A promise is a promise.
 * George Carlin: Thought Alex.
 * Alex: No matter what the weather.
 * George Carlin: The children had a lovely day, but by tea time, dark clouds loomed ahead. Suzy and Pietra were glad when Alex arrived. He was just in time. The rain streamed down Alex's boiler.
 * Alex: Ugh!
 * George Carlin: He shivered and thought of his nice dry shed. Alex struggled on past coastal villages and into the countryside. The river was rising fast.
 * Alex: I wish I could see, I wish I could see!
 * George Carlin: Complained Alex as he battled against the rain. More trouble lay ahead.
 * (Alex falls into the water and inside him, the fire gets sloshed)
 * Alex: Oh!
 * George Carlin: Hissed Alex.
 * Alex: The water's sloshing my fire!
 * George Carlin: Alex's driver and fireman had to find some more firewood.
 * Fireman: I'll have some of your floor boards, please.
 * George Carlin: Said the fireman to the conductor.
 * Conductor: I only swept the floor this morning.
 * George Carlin: Grumbled the conductor and he still help. Soon, Alex's fire was burning well. He felt warm and comfortable again. Then he saw Superman.
 * Alex: Oh dear.
 * George Carlin: Thought Alex.
 * Alex: Superman's coming to laugh at me.
 * George Carlin: Something floated onto Alex's boiler.
 * Alex: Ow!
 * George Carlin: Explained Alex.
 * Alex: He needed throw things.
 * Driver: It's a parachute!
 * George Carlin: Laughed his driver.
 * Driver: Superman's dropping hot drinks from us.
 * Alex: Thank you, Superman.
 * George Carlin: Whistled Alex.
 * Superman: Good to be at service.
 * George Carlin: Replied Superman as buzzed away. The water lapped Alex's feet. Alex was losing steam again, but he plunged bravely on.
 * Alex: I promised.
 * George Carlin: He panted.
 * Alex: I promised.
 * George Carlin: He meant one more big effort, and at last exhausted by triumph, he brought the train home.
 * Ash: Well done, Alex!
 * George Carlin: Cheered Ash.
 * Ash: You kept your promise, dispite everything!
 * George Carlin: Steven arrived in Superman. First, he thanked the men, then Alex.
 * Steven: Superman told me you are a wizard. He said he can beat you at somethings, but not a been on submarine. I don't know what you get onto sometimes, but I do know that you're a really useful wrestler.
 * Alex : Oh sir.
 * George Carlin: Whispered Alex happily.

Shaggy's Forest

 * George Carlin: Shaggy Rogers has lived on the land of YTV for many years.  He wouldn't want to be anywhere else. He liked every part of it from the fields filled with flowers to the white sandy beaches. But there is one place that Shaggy always enjoyed visiting more than any other. His driver knew this too.
 * Driver: Come on, Shaggy.
 * George Carlin: He would sometimes say.
 * Driver: We made good time today. We'll stop for a while by the forest.
 * George Carlin: Shaggy loved it here. The forest was filled with broad oaks and tall pines. Shaggy could remember the day long ago when he and Jackie brought some new trees to be planted and Freakazoid and Heathcliff helped haul them into place. Now he could see the trees growing amongst the others. Shaggy always felt better for being here. He couldn't really explain why but his driver understood.
 * Driver: It's peaceful.
 * George Carlin: He said to Shaggy. But one night, everything changed. The characters were resting in the shed.
 * Ash: Listen.
 * George Carlin: Said Ash.
 * Ash: Can you hear a strange whistling sound?
 * Jackie: It's the wind blowing outside our shed.
 * George Carlin: Replied Jackie.
 * Jackie: But I never heard of like this before.
 * Raimundo: Do you know.
 * George Carlin: Added Raimundo.
 * Raimundo: If Terry wasn't here now, I say it was him thundering by with the express.
 * George Carlin: All the characters laughed, except Shaggy.
 * Shaggy: I hope the wind won't harm the forest.
 * George Carlin: By morning, the fierce winds have gone but the damage was done. Shaggy's driver came to see him in the yard.
 * Driver: Trees have fallen on the line.
 * George Carlin: He said.
 * Driver: We must help clear the tracks.
 * George Carlin: Ozzy set off with the breakdown train and Shaggy followed. Trees lay everywhere. The hillside now looked so bare. Shaggy felt sad.
 * Shaggy: What will happen to all the animals who lived here?
 * George Carlin: He thought. When Shaggy's flat Beedrill were full of logs, he took them to the timbermill where they will be turned to furniture and other things. Shaggy was glad the wood was being put to good use, but he was sorry to lose part of his forest.
 * Jackie: Oh dear.
 * George Carlin: Sighed Jackie to Ash.
 * Jackie: I wish there was something we can do to make things better again.
 * Ash: Yes indeed.
 * George Carlin: Replied Ash.
 * Ash: But what? We can't mend broken trees.
 * Steven: Hello, Jackie.
 * George Carlin: Said Steven.
 * Steven: You do look glum.
 * Jackie: I'm sad about the trees.
 * George Carlin: Said Jackie.
 * Jackie: And so is Shaggy. The forest is a special place to him. Now some of it was gone.
 * Steven: We'll soon put that right.
 * George Carlin: Replied Steven.
 * Steven: I have an important job for you, Jackie. I will like you to take some Beedrill to the forest.
 * George Carlin: When the Beedrill arrived, Jackie was delighted. They were full of splendid young trees already for plating.
 * Jackie: This is the best job I've ever had.
 * George Carlin: Said Jackie happily. When Shaggy returned, he was most surprised. There were Freakazoid and Heathcliff busily helping the workmen clear the torrents stumps and branches.
 * Freakazoid: Look, Shaggy.
 * George Carlin: Called Freakazoid.
 * Freakazoid: We're beginning again. The hillside will look better than ever before. You'll see.
 * George Carlin: Now whenever Shaggy stops by the forest, he could see the new trees growing strong and tall. Sometimes, everywhere was very quiet, and the other times, Shaggy could hear leaves rustling, or birds wing brushing the air. Often he can hear the distance sounds of children laughing, and always he is happy here.

The Trouble With Mud

 * George Carlin: One morning, Ash was being cleaned when Terry arrived. Mud had blown all over his body.
 * Ash: Hello, Terry.
 * George Carlin: Called Ash.
 * Ash: You look as you had a mud bath. Be a sensible person and have a shower instead.
 * George Carlin: Terry snorted.
 * Terry: I haven't time to dawdle over my appearance like fussy trainers do.
 * George Carlin: The wind blew stronger.
 * Driver: Terry, slow down!
 * George Carlin: Called his driver. This made Terry crosser still.
 * Terry: Now I'll be dirty and late, dirty and late!
 * George Carlin: He hissed. At the next station was a sign: All Trains Must Wash Down Daily. Raimundo had just finished being cleaned.
 * Driver: Come on, Terry.
 * George Carlin: Said his driver.
 * Driver: You feel better too after a good hosedown.
 * Terry: Bah!
 * George Carlin: Said Terry and angrily let off steam.
 * Driver: You're a very naughty boy!
 * George Carlin: Said Terry's driver.
 * Driver: Now Raimundo will need another shower. You'll have to wait your turn till later.
 * Terry: Good riddance.
 * George Carlin: Huffed Terry.
 * Terry: I'm far too busy to waste time with water.
 * George Carlin: He finished his journey safely and steamed into the big station. Steven was waiting. So are Terry's coaches and the passengers.
 * Steven: Goodness gracious!
 * George Carlin: Said Steven.
 * Steven: You can't pull the train, Shaggy will have to do it. Terry you better get cleaned straight away.
 * George Carlin: Terry was soon being washed.
 * Terry: Mind my eyes!
 * George Carlin: He grumbled. Then he pulled Beedrill for the rest of the day.
 * Terry: Freight trains, freight trains!
 * George Carlin: He spluttered. He felt his position deeply.
 * Terry: That's for you, and you, and you!
 * Raimundo: Beedrill will be Beedrill.
 * George Carlin: Laughed Raimundo.
 * Terry: They won't with me.
 * George Carlin: Snorted Terry.
 * Terry: I'll teach them.
 * George Carlin: Raimundo got ready to take the express when Terry returned.
 * Terry: Be careful.
 * George Carlin: Warned Terry.
 * Terry: The hills are slippery. You may need help.
 * Raimundo: I don't need help on hills.
 * George Carlin: Replied Raimundo huffily.
 * Raimundo: Terry thinks he knows everything.
 * George Carlin: Earlier the storm had slipped Terry's Hill blowing leaves on the tracks which made them slippery. Even know the storm had passed, the hill was still difficult to climb. Al knew this. The signal shown cleared, and Raimundo began to go faster.
 * Raimundo: I'll do it, I'll do it.
 * George Carlin: He puffed. Halfway up, he was not so sure.
 * Raimundo: I must do it, I must do it.
 * George Carlin: But his feet slipped on the leaves. He couldn't pull the train at all.
 * Raimundo: Help, help!
 * George Carlin: Whistled Raimundo. His feet were turning forward, but the heavy coaches pulled him backwards. The haul train started slipping down the hill. His driver shut off steam and put on the brakes, then carefully he stopped the train. Terry saw everything.
 * Terry: Ah well, we live and learn. Never mind, little Raimundo. I'm going to push behind.
 * George Carlin: Clouds of smoke and steam billowed from the snorting boys as they struggled up the hill.
 * Raimundo: We can do it!
 * George Carlin: Puffed Raimundo.
 * Terry: We will do it!
 * George Carlin: Puffed Terry. At last they reached the top.
 * Raimundo: Peep peep! Thank you, goodbye!
 * George Carlin: Whistled Raimundo.
 * Terry: Boop boop!
 * George Carlin: Answered Terry.
 * Terry: Goodbye!
 * George Carlin: That night, Steven came to see the characters. Terry was miserable.
 * Ash: Please, sir?
 * George Carlin: Said Ash.
 * Ash: Can Terry pull coaches again now?
