Transcript
Narrator: "Hercules had been to the works to be mended. He felt much better. OJ the Paddle Tug was helping him off his barge. Hercules hadn't met the paddle tug before."

Hercules: "OJ seems a kindly sort of tug."

Narrator: "He thought to himself."

OJ: "I help to mend the rivers and do odd jobs."

Narrator: "Said OJ."

OJ: "I hear everyone's looking forward to seeing you again. Come on."

Narrator: "Sunshine was feeling depressed. He was still getting over but he wanted to start work again. Hoity Toity wouldn't let him."

Hoity Toity: "Another day's rest will do you good."

Narrator: "He said."

Hoity Toity: "Besides, I've got a surprise for you."

Sunshine: "For me sir! How nice sir! What is it sir?"

Hoity Toity: "Wait and see."

Narrator: "The surprise was Hercules."

Sunshine: "Oh."

Narrator: "Said Sunshine."

Sunshine: "I'm glad you've come home."

Narrator: "They lit Hercules' fire and he sizzled happily."

Hercules: "I feel all excited."

Narrator: "He said."

Hercules: "Just like a young tug. Now tell me all the news."

Sunshine: "I see you've met OJ."

Narrator: "Said Sunshine."

Hercules: "Yes. I like that paddle tug."

Sunshine: "So do I."

Narrator: "Replied Sunshine."

Sunshine: "It's a pity Top Hat doesn't."

Hercules: "Who is Top Hat?"

Sunshine: "He come as a spare tug after my accident."

Narrator: "Replied Sunshine."

Hercules: "Is he useful?"

Sunshine: "He keeps busy and I'm sure he means well, but he's bouncy and rude. He sings and sways and swivles around. His driver calls it Rock 'n' Roll."

Hercules: "I understand."

Narrator: "Said Hercules gravely.

His driver interrupted."

Hercules' Driver: "Top Hat had done it again. He's stuck in a tunnel. Come on old boy. We'll have to get him out."

Narrator: "Hercules was pleased. He wanted to run and looked forward to meeting Top Hat. They found some workmen and hurried up the river."

Hercules: "How nice and smooth the river is."

Narrator: "Thought Hercules."

Hercules: "They mended all the old bumps. The paddle tug has helped to that. What a difference OJ's made to the river."

Narrator: "Quite soon they found Top Hat. He was stuck at the far end of the tunnel and he was very cross."

Top Hat: "I'm a plain blunt tug. I speak as I find. Tunnels should be tunnels and not rabbit holes. The river is no good at all."

Top Hat's Driver: "Don't be silly!"

Narrator: "Snapped his driver."

Top Hat's Driver: "The tunnel is quite big enough for tugs who don't rock 'n' roll."

Narrator: "It took a long time to clear away the rocks and set Top Hat free again.

At last, Hercules was able to push Top Hat and his ferries safely through.

The workmen stayed to make sure everything was safe.

Top Hat grumbled all the way home, but Hercules payed no attention.

Later, Hoity Toity spoke severly to Top Hat."

Hoity Toity: "Listen to me. There is nothing wrong with that tunnel. You stuck in it because you tried to do rock N roll. Tunnels are not dance floors and you are not a pop star."

Narrator: "Then Hoity Toity gave his full attention to Top Hat's stack."

Hoity Toity: "If it happens again,"

Narrator: "He ended ominously."

Hoity Toity: "I shall find ways to cut you down to size. In other words, your carreer is um *ahem* on the line. Need I say more?"

Narrator: "Top Hat thought Hoity Toity had said quite enough and he remain completely silent and still, for at least the whole evening."
