Oliver's Find

 * Alec Baldwin: Oliver and his break van Toad liked working in the big yards, but one morning, Toad noticed that Oliver was unhappy. He decided to find out why.
 * Toad: Uh, excuse me, Mr. Oliver. It seems to me that things are not well with you, if you forgive me for mentioning it.
 * Oliver: You're quite right, Toad. All I do is shunt these freight cars onto the turntable. I long for a nice run. It's what an engine really needs.
 * Toad: Uh, quite so, Mr. Oliver. May I suggest that you speak to Sir Topham Hatt about your problems.
 * Alec Baldwin: But Oliver said nothing. He just grew unhappier and he was rough with the freight cars.
 * Cars: You're no good, Oliver, you're dangerous. We want Percy.
 * Oliver: Percy's far too busy to be bothered with the likes of you.
 * Alec Baldwin: And Oliver bumped the freight cars hard.
 * (The freight cars fall into the turntable)
 * Workman: You silly engine!
 * Alec Baldwin: Shouted a workman.
 * Workman: It'll take a long time to repair this turntable which'll cause confusion and delay!
 * Alec Baldwin: That night, Sir Topham Hatt arrived.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Oliver, you've caused confusion. I thought you could control freight cars. You shall work the mail train for a while. Maybe the night air will clear your smokebox.
 * Oliver: Yes sir. Sorry sir.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Oliver sadly.
 * Oliver's Driver: Cheer up, old chap.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said his driver.
 * Oliver's Driver: The mail train run is a grand run for a fine engine like you.
 * Alec Baldwin: Oliver smiled, but he still felt he had left everyone down. His driver took them along the coastal run with the mail train. The fresh air couldn't help but brighten Oliver's spirits. They made good speed until it was time to collect some important mail from Harold the Helicopter.
 * Oliver: Come on, Harold.
 * Alec Baldwin: At last Harold landed.
 * Harold: Sorry I'm late, great western. Had a uh bit of a problems with one of my arms. Kept letting me down when I was uh meant to be up. You know how it is.
 * Oliver's Driver: We know that we'll be late for our first run.
 * Alec Baldwin: Replied Oliver's driver. Soon, they were on their way again. Ahead was a red signal light. Oliver didn't realized that the signalman had dozed off. Oliver whistled several times, but the signal stayed red.
 * Oliver's Driver: There must be something wrong with that signal. We'll go slowly and stop by the signalbox.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said his driver. But they never reached it. The points before the signalbox were switched to an old track. They were going the wrong way. Oliver's fireman was concerned.
 * Oliver's Fireman: We need to find a water tower soon.
 * Alec Baldwin: Instead they saw an old station. Disaster lay ahead.
 * (Oliver crashes into a shed)
 * Alec Baldwin: Meanwhile, Sir Topham Hatt was worried.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Oliver has not returned. We'll send out a search party.
 * Alec Baldwin: Soon he was high in the sky with Harold.
 * (Harold looks for Oliver)
 * Sir Topham Hatt: There they are.
 * (Oliver is spotted and Harold lands)
 * Oliver's Driver: It wasn't Oliver's fault.
 * Alec Baldwin: Sighed the driver.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: I'm aware of that. I'm just glad to see you are all safe.
 * Alec Baldwin: Then he saw something. It was an empty old house beside the station. He went to inspect it.
 * (Sir Topham Hatt checks the old house)
 * Alec Baldwin: When he returned, he spoke to Oliver.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: You have found another attraction for our island. We'll make this house as good as new and visitors can have tea and crumpets there.
 * Oliver: Hmm.
 * Alec Baldwin: Sighed Oliver.
 * Oliver: Getting lost can be interesting but being found is much nicer. Especially when it makes an engine feels really useful.

Home At Last

 * Alec Baldwin: Skarloey had been to the works to be mended. He felt much better. Rusty the Diesel was helping him off his truck. Skarloey hadn't met the little diesel before.
 * Skarloey: Rusty seems a kindly sort of engine.
 * Alec Baldwin: He thought to himself.
 * Rusty: I help to mend the line and do odd jobs.
 * Alec Baldwin: Explained Rusty.
 * Rusty: I hear everyone is looking forward to seeing you again. Come on.
 * Alec Baldwin: Peter Sam was feeling depressed. He was still getting over his accident, but he wanted to start work again. Sir Topham Hatt wouldn't let him.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Another day's rest will do you good.
 * Alec Baldwin: He said.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Besides, I got a surprise for you.
 * Peter Sam: For me, sir? How nice, sir. What is it, sir?
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Wait and see.
 * Alec Baldwin: The surprise was Skarloey.
 * Peter Sam: Oh.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Peter Sam.
 * Peter Sam: I'm glad you've come home.
 * Alec Baldwin: They lit Skarloey's fire and he sizzled happily.
 * Skarloey: I feel all excited.
 * Alec Baldwin: He said.
 * Skarloey: Just like a young engine. Now tell me all the news.
 * Peter Sam: I see you've met Rusty.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Peter Sam.
 * Skarloey: Yes. I like that Diesel.
 * Peter Sam: So do I.
 * Alec Baldwin: Replied Peter Sam.
 * Peter Sam: It's a pity Duncan doesn't.
 * Skarloey: Who is Duncan?
 * Peter Sam: He came as a spare engine after my accident.
 * Alec Baldwin: Replied Peter Sam.
 * Skarloey: Is he useful?
 * Peter Sam: He keeps busy and I'm sure he means well. But he's bouncy and rude. He sings and sways and swivels around. His drivers call it Rock N Roll.
 * Skarloey: I understand.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Skarloey gravely. His driver interrupted.
 * Skarloey's Driver: Duncan has done it again, he's stuck in the tunnel. Come on, old boy, we'll have to get him out.
 * Alec Baldwin: Skarloey was pleased. He wanted to run and look forward to meeting Duncan. They found the guard's van and some workmen and hurried up the line.
 * Skarloey: How nice and smooth the rails are.
 * Alec Baldwin: Thought Skarloey.
 * Skarloey: They mended all the old bumps. The little diesel has helped to that. What a difference Rusty's made to the line.
 * Alec Baldwin: Quite soon they found Duncan. He was stuck at the far end of the tunnel and he was very cross.
 * Duncan: I'm a plain blunt engine, I speak as I'm fine. Tunnels should be tunnels and not rabbit holes. This railway is no good at all.
 * Duncan's Driver: Don't be silly!
 * Alec Baldwin: Snapped his Driver.
 * Duncan's Driver: This tunnel is quite big enough for engines who don't Rock N Roll.
 * Alec Baldwin: It took some while to clear away the rocks and set Duncan free again. At last, Skarloey was able to push Duncan and his coaches safely through.
 * (Skarloey frees Duncan by pushing him and his coaches through)
 * Alec Baldwin: The guard's van was left on the siding and the workmen stayed to make sure everything was safe. Duncan grumbled all the way home, but Skarloey paid no attention. Later, Sir Topham Hatt spoke severely to Duncan.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: 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.
 * Alec Baldwin: Then, Sir Topham Hatt gave his full attention to Duncan's funnel.
 * (Sir Topham Hatt then looks at Duncan's funnel)
 * Sir Topham Hatt: If it happens again...
 * Alec Baldwin: He ended ominously.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: I should find ways to cut you down to size. In other words your career is um (laughs) on the line. Need I say more?
 * Alec Baldwin: Duncan thought Sir Topham Hatt had said quite enough and he remained completely silent and still for at least the whole week.

Rock 'N' Roll

 * Alec Baldwin: Skarloey the Little Engine loves all the sights and sounds along his line and knows it very well. One morning, soon after he returned from being mended, he was enjoying his journey more than ever before. Along the way, he met Rusty.
 * Skarloey: You know...
 * Alec Baldwin: He said.
 * Skarloey: If I couldn't see those familiar faces and places, I think I was on a different railway. You've done wonders with these rails.
 * Alec Baldwin: Rusty laughed.
 * Rusty: I'm glad you're pleased. Manager says let's mend the tracks so well he won't know where he is. And we did, and you didn't if you take my meaning.
 * Alec Baldwin: Skarloey liked this hard working diesel.
 * Rusty: There's still one more bad bit.
 * Alec Baldwin: Warned Rusty.
 * Rusty: Just before the first station. An engine might come off there particularly Duncan. He will Rock N Roll along the line. Look at him right now. I shouldn't like his passengers hurt.
 * Duncan: What's that about me? I'm a plain speaking engine and I believe in plain speaking. Speak up!
 * Alec Baldwin: Rusty warned Duncan about the bad bit of line.
 * Duncan: Huh!
 * Alec Baldwin: Grunted Duncan.
 * Duncan: I know my way about. I don't need smelly diesels to tell me what to do.
 * Alec Baldwin: Rusty felt hurt. Duncan banged about the yard. Then, he clattered crossly to the station. James was already there waiting for him.
 * James: You're late!
 * Alec Baldwin: He snapped.
 * Duncan: I know.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Duncan.
 * Duncan: It's that smelly Diesel's fault. Rusty tries to teach me how to stay on the rails and then goes off leaving me to find my own coaches.
 * James: You poor engine.
 * Alec Baldwin: Sympathized James.
 * James: I know all about Diesels. One crept into our yard and ordered us about. I soon sent him packing.
 * Alec Baldwin: Duncan was filled with admiration. He didn't know that James was boastful and sometimes didn't tell the truth.
 * Duncan: Send Rusty packing, send Rusty packing.
 * Alec Baldwin: Snorted Duncan. He climbed a hill furiously.
 * Duncan's Driver: Well done, boy. Keep it up.
 * Alec Baldwin: Encouraged his driver. Soon they were near the first station. Duncan was pleased.
 * Duncan: Nothing's happened, nothing's happened. Silly old diesel, clever me.
 * Alec Baldwin: And he rocked and rolled along the line.
 * Duncan's Driver: Steady, boy.
 * Alec Baldwin: Checked his driver. But it was too late.
 * (Duncan comes off the rails in the process)
 * Duncan: Sleepers and ballast! I'm off.
 * Alec Baldwin: And he was.
 * Rusty: I warned him.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Rusty.
 * Rusty: But all he did was call me names.
 * Alec Baldwin: The little diesel refused to move.
 * Skarloey: I'm ashamed of you Rusty.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Skarloey.
 * Skarloey: Think of the passengers what are they going to do?
 * Rusty: Oh, I've forgotten them. Yes of course, we must help the passengers.
 * Alec Baldwin: And Rusty roared into life. Duncan stood sad and solitary. He couldn't Rock N Roll now.
 * Duncan: Oh, dear.
 * Alec Baldwin: He thought.
 * Duncan: Everyone will know how silly I am.
 * Alec Baldwin: The passengers had to get out and help too. They weren't very pleased about that but worked as hard as they could.
 * (The passengers lift Duncan back on the rails)
 * Alec Baldwin: They carefully leavened Duncan back onto the line. After that, Duncan was extra careful all day. At last, evening came.
 * Duncan: Rusty.
 * Alec Baldwin: He whispered.
 * Duncan: Thank you for helping. I'm sorry I was rude to you.
 * Rusty: That's all right, Duncan.
 * Duncan: I wish all diesels were like you. Let's be friends.
 * Rusty: Suits me.
 * Alec Baldwin: Replied Rusty.
 * Rusty: We'll mend that bad bit of a rail first thing tomorrow.

Lady Hatt's Birthday Party

 * Alec Baldwin: One summer's day, Thomas and Percy were idling at the station when Bertie the Bus arrived.
 * Bertie: Have you noticed something?
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Bertie.
 * Thomas: What sort of something?
 * Bertie: Sir Topham Hatt. He, well, seems different.
 * Alec Baldwin: Replied Bertie.
 * Percy: I did see him staring at the clouds this morning.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Percy.
 * Percy: I wonder why.
 * Alec Baldwin: The reason was simple. It was Lady Hatt's Birthday, and Sir Topham had a new outfit.
 * Lady Hatt: It's perfect for my birthday party.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said his wife.
 * Lady Hatt: You'll look splendid, Topham dear.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: And I'll wear my finest hat just for you.
 * Alec Baldwin: He replied.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Your birthday is a great occasion.
 * Lady Hatt: It is, so don't be late.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Don't worry, my dear. I shall be spic and span and right on time.
 * Alec Baldwin: Later that day, Sir Topham Hatt had changed into his new suit.
 * Stationmaster: You look fine, sir.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said the stationmaster.
 * Stationmaster: You best be going.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Indeed.
 * Alec Baldwin: Agreed Sir Topham Hatt.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: The engines are busy, I'll take the car.
 * Stationmaster: Is it reliable?
 * Alec Baldwin: Asked the stationmaster.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Certainly.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Sir Topham Hatt. But it wasn't. As he sped along, he suddenly saw a large hole on the road. He braked hard, but it was too late.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Bother! Now I've got a puncture. If I change my wheel, I am sure to dirty my suit and that would never do.
 * Alec Baldwin: Just then, he heard Caroline.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: I have to attend my wife's birthday party and I cannot be late. Please give me a lift.
 * Caroline: I'll try, sir.
 * Alec Baldwin: But Caroline didn't like going fast.
 * Caroline: I'm hot! My engine will overheat!
 * Alec Baldwin: And it did.
 * Caroline: Told you so.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Caroline sadly.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Bother, bother!
 * Alec Baldwin: Then he heard a loud whistle. It was George the Steamroller. George was cross when he saw Caroline.
 * George: Call yourself a car? You're disgrace for the road. Find yourself a scrapyard.
 * Alec Baldwin: Caroline spluttered in fury. George's driver was more polite.
 * Driver: Can I be of assistance, sir?
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Only if you can get me to my wife's birthday party.
 * Alec Baldwin: Sighed Sir Topham Hatt.
 * Driver: We can take you to Thomas.
 * Alec Baldwin: Replied the Driver.
 * Driver: He's just down the line.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Much obliged.
 * Alec Baldwin: And they rumbled away.
 * Caroline: What about me?
 * Alec Baldwin: Wailed Caroline.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: I'll send for help.
 * Alec Baldwin: Called Sir Topham Hatt.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Stay there.
 * Caroline: That's all I can do.
 * Alec Baldwin: George was enjoying rolling along the lane, but not Sir Topham Hatt. Oil splashed everywhere. Worse was to follow.
 * George: Help!
 * Alec Baldwin: Cried George.
 * George: Something snapped!
 * Alec Baldwin: He veered out of control and Sir Topham Hatt landed in a muddy ditch close to where Thomas was taking on water.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Bother, bother!
 * Alec Baldwin: Thomas had never seen Sir Topham Hatt in such a mess.
 * Driver: Can I help you, sir?
 * Alec Baldwin: Asked Thomas' driver.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Yes please. Get me to the station as fast as you can.
 * Driver: I'm afraid our fireman's taking ill.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Then I'll be your fireman.
 * Alec Baldwin: Sighed Sir Topham Hatt. Thomas was excited. Sir Topham Hatt had to work hard. Coal dust and smut flew everywhere. At last, they reached the station. Sir Topham Hatt looked at the clock.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Just in time.
 * Alec Baldwin: He gasped. He hurriedly picked up a huge bunch of flowers.
 * Thomas: Good luck!
 * Alec Baldwin: Called Thomas. Sir Topham Hatt's wife was waiting for him. As the clock struck three, there stood Sir Topham Hatt, tired but triumphant, he gave his wife the flowers.
 * Lady Hatt: Well, thank you, my dear. I knew this was my special birthday party, but I didn't know it was fancy dress.
 * Alec Baldwin: Everyone laughed, and then the party began.
 * (We see everyone having a party and the door then closes)

Sir Topham Hatt's Holiday

 * Alec Baldwin: One day, Sir Topham Hatt arranged with Thomas the Tank Engine to take his wife and grandchildren to the seaside. The sun shone and everywhere looked splendid. But Lady Hatt was feeling hot and tired. She took her troubles out on Annie and Clarabel.
 * Lady Hatt: Those coaches are old and uncomfortable. Why don't you use them as beach huts instead?
 * Alec Baldwin: Thomas was most upset.
 * Thomas: You won't let them turn Annie and Clarabel into beach huts, will you?
 * Driver: Of course not, Thomas.
 * Alec Baldwin: Replied his driver.
 * Driver: But I must admit they could be smarten up.
 * Alec Baldwin: The next day, Sir Topham Hatt used Percy to take his family to Harold's airfield. They were just about to board Harold when it happened.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Ooh, what was that?
 * Alec Baldwin: Cried Sir Topham Hatt.
 * Harold: Uh, that's Tiger Moth.
 * Alec Baldwin: Grumbled Harold.
 * Harold: It's rude and flies much too low.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: So I can see. Please take us up Harold before there's another disturbance.
 * Alec Baldwin: A few days later, Harold arrived at their holiday home with bad news.
 * Harold's Pilot: Uh, it's Tiger Moth.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Harold's Pilot.
 * Harold's Pilot: It's gone missing. Do you wish to join the search party with us?
 * Sir Topham Hatt: I think I better.
 * (Harold looks for Tiger Moth)
 * Sir Topham Hatt: There's Tiger Moth.
 * Alec Baldwin: Called Sir Topham Hatt. Then he spoke to the pilot.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: You were showing off and flying dangerously. I will speak to your controller and request that you are grounded.
 * Pilot: Yes, sir!
 * Alec Baldwin: Replied the pilot.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Now if you'll excuse me, I shall return to my holiday.
 * Pilot: Jolly good idea, sir!
 * Alec Baldwin: Sir Topham Hatt arranged to meet up with Toby and Henrietta to take them somewhere special. They arrived at a small river inland.
 * Stephen and Bridget: What a beautiful boat!
 * Alec Baldwin: Exclaimed the children.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: It's my special treat.
 * Alec Baldwin: Sir Topham Hatt took the helm with his wife beside him.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: It's so nice to be away from the railway for once.
 * Alec Baldwin: He said to her.
 * Lady Hatt: And far cleaner.
 * Alec Baldwin: She replied. But life on the river is very different from that on the rails. The family were enjoying themselves so much that they forgot to watch where they were going.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Oh, botheration!
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Sir Topham Hatt.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: We're stuck!
 * Alec Baldwin: And they were. Other boats tried to pull them off the mudbank, but it was no use. Percy saw the commotion and stopped.
 * Driver: Is there anything we can do to help?
 * Alec Baldwin: Called his driver.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Yes, indeed there is. This is the life, isn't it, my dear?
 * Alec Baldwin: Soon, they arrived at a small station. There was Thomas with Annie and Clarabel who were looking as smart as their new paint inside and out.
 * Lady Hatt: My!
 * Alec Baldwin: Exclaimed Lady Hatt.
 * Lady Hatt: What splendid coaches. So much more suitable than those old beach huts on wheels.
 * Alec Baldwin: No one said a word. But that evening, Annie and Clarabel spoke to Thomas.
 * Annie: It's very nice to get compliments...
 * Clarabel: ...but no matter what we look like we'll always be useful, won't we Thomas?
 * Thomas: Of course.
 * Alec Baldwin: Their friend replied.

Thomas Gets Bumped

 * Alec Baldwin: Every afternoon, Thomas the Tank Engine puffs along his branch line with Annie and Clarabel. First they pass the water mill. Next, they come to a big farm. Then, they can see a bridge with a village nestled either side of it. This is a special place. Whenever children hear Thomas coming along, they stand on the bridge, waving until he is out of sight. One day, Thomas was running late. He had stopped at a red light before the bridge to talk to some new children. Percy the Green Engine was waiting, too.
 * Percy: Hurry up, Thomas.
 * Alec Baldwin: Called Percy when the signal dropped.
 * Percy: If you're late, Sir Topham Hatt might get a new engine to replace you.
 * Thomas: He would never do that!
 * Alec Baldwin: Thought Thomas, but he was worried. Next day, Thomas hurried along the line. Just ahead was the goods yard. There, on the platform, was an inspector waving a red flag. Next, Thomas saw some children. They were waving, too.
 * Thomas: Something must be wrong.
 * Alec Baldwin: Thought Thomas.
 * Thomas: This station's for goods, not passengers.
 * Children: Help, Thomas, help! We're glad to see you.
 * Mr. Conductor: Called the children.
 * Children: Please, will you take us home?
 * Alec Baldwin: The stationmaster explained to Thomas' driver that the school bus had broken down, and all the parents would be worried if the children were late. Thomas waited as the children walked down from the bridge. Then he took the children to the next station, where Bertie was waiting to take them home. When Thomas finished his journey, he was very late. He was worried that Sir Topham Hatt might be cross with him.
 * Percy: I warned Thomas.
 * Alec Baldwin: Puffed Percy to James.
 * Percy: He's been late one time too many. He'll be in trouble now.
 * Alec Baldwin: But next morning, when Thomas pick up his passengers, Sir Topham Hatt was nowhere to be seen.
 * Thomas: Thank goodness.
 * Alec Baldwin: Sighed Thomas. Thomas knows every part of his line. Just ahead was a stretch where the hot sun had bent the rails on the track.
 * Thomas' Driver: Careful, Thomas!
 * Alec Baldwin: Called his driver. But it was too late.
 * Thomas' Driver: That's done it!
 * Alec Baldwin: Said his driver.
 * Thomas' Driver: We shan't get any further today!
 * Thomas: But what about my passengers?
 * Alec Baldwin: Asked Thomas.
 * Thomas' Driver: Don't worry, they'll be looked after.
 * Alec Baldwin: Replied his driver. While workmen repaired the line, Thomas had to shunt freight cars in the yard. Bertie came to see him.
 * Bertie: I understand you need my help again.
 * Thomas: Yes, Bertie.
 * Alec Baldwin: Replied Thomas sadly.
 * Thomas: I can't run without my rails.
 * Alec Baldwin: Bertie set off to collect Thomas' passengers.
 * Passengers: Hello, Bertie.
 * Alec Baldwin: They said.
 * Passengers: We're glad you're here.
 * Alec Baldwin: Bertie ran along the road that runs by the railway. He stopped at each station along the line. Sometimes he stopped between stations to let people off closer to their homes. Thomas felt miserable.
 * Thomas: I've lost my passengers to Bertie. They'll like him better than me.
 * Alec Baldwin: Sir Topham Hatt arrived.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Your branch line is repaired. I'm going to change your timetable so that you and Bertie can work together more.
 * Alec Baldwin: When Thomas reached the station, there, to his relief, were all his passengers.
 * Passengers: Bertie is a good bus, but we missed our train rides with you.
 * Alec Baldwin: They said. Later, Thomas spoke to Bertie.
 * Thomas: Thank you for looking after my passengers.
 * Bertie: That's all right, Thomas. I like to make new friends, but I'm glad to share them with you.
 * Thomas: Bertie, you're a very good friend, indeed.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Thomas.

Diesel Does It Again

 * Alec Baldwin: Duck and Percy enjoy their work in the harbour, pulling and pushing freight cars full of cargo to and from the quay. But one morning, the engines were exhausted. The harbour was busier than ever. Sir Topham Hatt promised that another engine would be found to help them.
 * Percy: Huh. It's about time.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Percy.
 * Duck: I ached so much I can hardly get my wheels to move.
 * Alec Baldwin: Agreed Duck. They waited for the engine to arrive. It came as a shock when he did.
 * Diesel: Good morning.
 * Alec Baldwin: Squirmed Diesel in his oily voice. The two engines had not work with Diesel for a long time.
 * Duck: What are you doing here?
 * Alec Baldwin: Gasped Duck.
 * Diesel: Your worth Top...er, Sir Topham Hatt sent me. I hope you are please to see me again. I have to shunt some dreadful tiresome cars.
 * Percy: Shunt where?
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Percy suspiciously.
 * Diesel: Where? Why from here to there.
 * Alec Baldwin: Purred Diesel.
 * Diesel: And then again from there to here. Easy, isn't it?
 * Alec Baldwin: With that, Diesel as if to make himself clear bumped some cars hard.
 * Cars: Ooh!
 * Alec Baldwin: Screamed the cars.
 * Diesel: Grrr!
 * Alec Baldwin: Growled Diesel. Percy and Duck were horrified. They did not trust Diesel at all. They refuse to work and did not leave their shed. Sir Topham Hatt was enjoying his tea and iced bun when the telephone rang.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: So there's trouble in the harbour yard? I'll be there right away.
 * Alec Baldwin: Diesel was working loudly and alone. Cargo lay on the key. Ships and passengers were delayed. Everyone was complaining about Sir Topham Hatt's Railway. Percy and Duck were sulking in their shed.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: What's all this?
 * Alec Baldwin: Demanded Sir Topham Hatt.
 * Percy: We're on strike, sir.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Percy.
 * Duck: Yes.
 * Alec Baldwin: Added Duck.
 * Duck: Beg pardon, sir, but we don't work with Diesel, sir.
 * Alec Baldwin: Then, in a quiet hurt voice, he added...
 * Duck: You said you sent him packing, sir.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: I have to give Diesel a second chance. I'm trying to help by bringing Diesel here. Now you must help me he is the only engine available.
 * Alec Baldwin: Percy and Duck went sadly back to work. Next day, things were no better. Diesel's driver did not put on his brakes on properly and Diesel started to move. He went bump straight into Percy. Percy had an awful fright!
 * Diesel: Wake up there, Percy.
 * Alec Baldwin: Scowled Diesel.
 * Diesel: You have work to do.
 * Alec Baldwin: He didn't even say he was sorry to Percy. Later, Diesel bumped the cars so hard that the loads went everywhere.
 * Percy: What would Sir Topham Hatt say?
 * Alec Baldwin: Gasped Percy.
 * Duck: He won't like it.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Duck.
 * Diesel: So who's going to tell you I wonder? Two goody-goody tattletales like you I suppose?
 * Alec Baldwin: Percy and Duck did not wanna be tattletales, so they said nothing. Diesel thinking he can getting away from his bad behavior was ruder than ever. Next day, he was shunting freight cars full of China Clay. He banged the cars hard into the buffers, but the buffers weren't secure. The silly cars were sunked! Sir Topham Hatt heard the news. The cars were hoisted safely from the sea but the clay was lost. Sir Topham Hatt spoke severely to Diesel.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Things weren't much better here before you arrived. I shall not be inviting you back. Now Duck and Percy, I hope you don't mind having handle the work by yourselves again.
 * Percy: Oh no, Sir.
 * Duck: Yes please, Sir.
 * Alec Baldwin: Replied the engines. Whistling cheerfully, they puff back to work while Diesel sulk slowly away.
