Transcript

 * George Carlin: Snow came early to the Island of Sodor. It was heavier than usual. Most engines hate snow. Donald and Douglas were used to it. Couple back to back with the van between their tenders and the snowplough in their fronts, they set to work. They puffed backwards and forward patrolling the line. Generally, the snow slipped away fiercely, but sometimes they found deeper drifts. Presently, they came to a drift which was larger than most. They charged it, and were just backing for another try when...
 * Henry: Help, help!
 * Douglas: Losh shakes, Donald! It's Henry! Don't worry yourself, Henry! Wait a while! We'll help you out!
 * George Carlin: Henry was very grateful. He saw all was not well. The twins were looking glum. They told him Sir Topham Hatt was making a decision.
 * Donald: He'll send us away for sure.
 * Percy: It's a shame.
 * George Carlin: Said Percy.
 * Gordon: A lot of nonsense about a broken signalbox.
 * George Carlin: Grumbled Gordon.
 * James: That spiteful break van too.
 * George Carlin: Put in James.
 * James: Good riddance. That's what I say.
 * Henry: The twins were splendid in the snow.
 * George Carlin: Added Henry.
 * Henry: It isn't fair.
 * George Carlin: They all agreed that something must be done, but none knew what. Percy decided to talk to Edward about it.
 * Edward: What you need...
 * George Carlin: Said Edward.
 * Edward: ...is a deputation.
 * George Carlin: He explained what that was. Percy ran back quickly.
 * Percy: Edward says we need a depostation.
 * Gordon: Of course.
 * George Carlin: Said Gordon.
 * Gordon: The question is...
 * Henry: What is a desperation?
 * George Carlin: Asked Henry.
 * Percy: It's when engines tell Sir Topham Hatt something's wrong.
 * George Carlin: Said Percy.
 * Duck: Did you say tell Sir Topham Hatt?
 * George Carlin: Asked Duck thoughtfully. There was a long silence.
 * Gordon: I purpose.
 * George Carlin: Said Gordon.
 * Gordon: That Percy be our...um...disputation.
 * Percy: Me?!
 * George Carlin: Squeaked Percy.
 * Percy: I can't!
 * Henry: Rubbish, Percy.
 * George Carlin: Said Henry.
 * Henry: It's easy.
 * Gordon: That's settled then.
 * George Carlin: Said Gordon. Poor Percy wished it wasn't.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Hello, Percy. It's nice to be back.
 * George Carlin: Percy jumped.
 * Percy: Uh, yes sir, please sir.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: You look nervous, Percy. What's the matter?
 * Percy: Please, sir, they made me a desperation, sir, to speak to you sir. I don't like it, sir.
 * George Carlin: Sir Topham Hatt pondered.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Do you mean a deputation, Percy?
 * Percy: Yes sir, please sir. It's Donald and Douglas. They say, sir, that if you send them away, sir, well, they'll be turned to scrap, sir. That would be dreadful, sir. Please, sir, don't send them away.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Thank you, Percy. That will do.
 * George Carlin: Later, Sir Topham Hatt spoke to the engines.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: I had a deputation. I understand your feelings and I give a lot of thought to the matter.
 * George Carlin: He paused impressively.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Donald and Douglas, I hear that your work in the snow was good. You shall have a new coat of paint.
 * George Carlin: The twins were surprised.
 * Donald: Thank you, sir.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: But your names will be painted on you. We'll have no more mistakes.
 * Douglas: Thank you, sir. Uh, does this mean that the both of us?
 * George Carlin: Sir Topham Hatt smiled.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: It means...
 * George Carlin: But the rest of his speech was drowned in a delighted chorus of cheers and whistles. The twins were here to stay.
