Hector The Horrid Transcript

Transcript

 * Michael Brandon: Thomas the Tank Engine enjoys shunting troublesome trucks. He can biff them harder and faster than any other engine. It's one of his favorite jobs. One morning Sir Topham Hatt had an important announcement.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: James and Edward must make extra deliveries of coal.
 * Michael Brandon: He boomed.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Thomas, you must shunt and fill freight cars at the coaling plant. James and Edward, you must collect them this afternoon.
 * Michael Brandon: Thomas was very pleased. Just then, Bill and Ben chuffed by. Between them was a big, black truck. It was biffing and bashing the little engines.
 * Thomas: What are you two doing?
 * Michael Brandon: Tooted Thomas. Bill and Ben told him they were delivering the truck to the coaling plant.
 * Thomas: Why does it need two engines to deliver one truck?
 * Michael Brandon: Asked Thomas.
 * Ben: Because he really doesn't like to be shunted.
 * Michael Brandon: Chuffed Ben.
 * Bill: His name is Hector.
 * Michael Brandon: Huffed Bill.
 * Bill: But we call him Hector the Horrid.
 * Michael Brandon: Bill and Ben chuffed slowly away with Hector.
 * James: He does look troublesome.
 * Michael Brandon: Huffed James.
 * Thomas: Troublesome trucks don't worry me.
 * Michael Brandon: Boasted Thomas.
 * Thomas: I could biff him firmly into place.
 * Michael Brandon: Later, Thomas chuffed into the coaling plant. And there was Hector. The other trucks giggled and laughed.
 * Trucks: Big, bad, strong and solid that truck's name is Hector the Horrid.
 * Michael Brandon: They sang. Thomas puffed closer.
 * Hector: Keep away!
 * Michael Brandon: Roared Hector.
 * Thomas: Bill and Ben were right.
 * Michael Brandon: Thought Thomas.
 * Thomas: Hector is scary. And Hector is horrid.
 * Michael Brandon: Thomas decided to keep away. Thomas spent the morning shunting the other freight cars and filling them with coal. All the time, Thomas could feel Hector the Horrid watching him. The coaling plant manager came to see Thomas.
 * Coaling Plant Manager: We need an extra large delivery.
 * Michael Brandon: He said.
 * Coaling Plant Manager: So Rosie is coming to help you. You must shunt and fill Hector, then add him to the back of James's train.
 * Michael Brandon: He told Thomas. Later, Rosie puffed into the yard. She saw Hector.
 * Rosie: Wow, do we have to shunt and fill that big truck, Thomas?
 * Michael Brandon: She asked sweetly.
 * Thomas: Yes.
 * Michael Brandon: Puffed Thomas.
 * Thomas: But he doesn't want to be shunted. His name is...
 * Michael Brandon: But before Thomas could finish, Hector opened his mouth and let out the biggest roar ever.
 * Hector: KEEP AWAY!
 * Michael Brandon: He bellowed. Rosie was so surprised, she shook from funnel to foot plate, and she steamed straight out of the yard. This made Thomas cross. Hector had biffed and bashed Bill and Ben, he had shouted at Thomas and he had frightened Rosie so much that she had puffed away. Now, the extra delivery would never be ready. Thomas had had enough. He puffed up bravely in front of Hector and gave him a mighty biff. Hector rolled backwards. He was very cross.
 * Hector: Keep away!
 * Michael Brandon: He roared.
 * Thomas: No I won't.
 * Michael Brandon: Tooted Thomas crossly.
 * Thomas: You are causing confusion and delay. You really are horrid.
 * Michael Brandon: Then with one mighty biff, Thomas sent Hector rolling backwards into a set of buffers. Hector crashed off the track. Thomas felt very bad. He hadn't meant to knock Hector over. Thomas puffed up to Hector. Hector lay on his side, looking very sad. Now Hector didn't seem so horrid.
 * Thomas: I'm sorry I biffed you so hard.
 * Michael Brandon: Wheezed Thomas.
 * Thomas: But why don't you want to be shunted?
 * Hector: Because I'm scared.
 * Michael Brandon: Moaned Hector.
 * Thomas: Why?
 * Michael Brandon: Asked Thomas.
 * Hector: I'm new.
 * Michael Brandon: He groaned.
 * Hector: And I'm scared because I haven't been filled with coal before. I don't know what it feels like. That's why I didn't want to be shunted.
 * Michael Brandon: He added. Thomas was surprised. Later, Rocky and the workmen arrived and lifted Hector back onto the tracks. Thomas wanted to help Hector.
 * Thomas: Sometimes I'm scared when I have to do something new.
 * Michael Brandon: He chuffed.
 * Thomas: But coal isn't scary.
 * Michael Brandon: Hector watched as Thomas rolled under the coal hopper. Black, dusty coal poured into Thomas's coal box. When the dust settled, Hector saw that Thomas was smiling.
 * Thomas: See, it's not scary.
 * Michael Brandon: Tooted Thomas proudly. Now Hector was excited.
 * Hector: I'd like to be filled with coal, too.
 * Michael Brandon: He rumbled.
 * Thomas: We must hurry.
 * Michael Brandon: Huffed Thomas. Thomas pulled Hector quickly under the coal hopper. Hector was quickly filled with coal. It felt wonderful. Then Thomas shunted Hector into place just in time. James and Edward puffed into the yard. They saw their waiting trains. James was very surprised to see Hector at the back.
 * James: Well done, Thomas.
 * Michael Brandon: Snorted James. The trains were soon coupled up. James and Edward puffed away for their special deliveries. They were very surprised to hear Thomas whistle "Good luck." But the whistle wasn't for them. It was Thomas tooting to his new friend "Hector The Not Horrid At All."
