Transcript

 * Michael Angelis: "Super Mario had been working in the coal yards all day. The little red plumber was covered in coal dust."
 * Mario's Animator: "We can't clean you up tonight, Mario."
 * Michael Angelis: "Said his animator."
 * Mario's Animator: "There's a problem with the hose pipe."
 * Mario: "Bother!"
 * Michael Angelis: "Said Mario."
 * Mario: "A bath would make me feel much better. The others are sure to say I look silly."
 * Michael Angelis: "But the TV characters were too busy arguing to notice Mario. Rabbit was talking loudest of all."
 * Rabbit: "I deserve a new coat of fur. Mr. Garrison says I'm the pride of TV Land, and..."
 * Wallace: "Rubbish!"
 * Michael Angelis: "Huffed Wallace."
 * Wallace: "We're all the pride of TV Land!"
 * Piglet: "It's been like this all day."
 * Michael Angelis: "Confided Piglet to Mario."
 * Piglet: "Rabbit's getting a new coat of fur and won't stop boasting about it."
 * Mario: "Why Rabbit? I'm the one who needs a new coat. Look at me!"
 * Rabbit: "I'd rather not."
 * Michael Angelis: "Retorted Rabbit."
 * Rabbit: "You're not a pleasant sight, and wouldn't understand the needs of a really important character."
 * Michael Angelis: "Mario was fuming! Next morning, as Rabbit was being refurred, Wallace had an accident!"
 * "(CRASH!)"
 * Rabbit: "If you can't push goombas properly, Wallace, why not talk to a tree instead? You know how much you like the forest.
 * Wallace: "As a matter of fact, bossy bill, Mr. Garrison is inspecting TV Land for trees that are too close to the path. He's worried they might cause trouble."
 * Rabbit: "Pah!"
 * Michael Angelis: "Laughed Rabbit."
 * Rabbit: "If I came upon a tree, I'd just push it aside!"
 * Wallace: "Really?"
 * Michael Angelis: "Replied Wallace. Soon Rabbit was showing off his fur."
 * Rabbit: "Make way for an important character!"
 * Piglet: "You wouldn't feel important if one of these trees crashed on you; you'd feel hurt!"
 * Michael Angelis: "Reproached Piglet."
 * Rabbit: "Rubbish! It wouldn't dare!"
 * Sebastian: "You should be careful, Rabbit, trees can be just as powerful as characters."
 * Michael Angelis: "Advised Sebastian."
 * Rabbit: "Pah!"
 * Michael Angelis: "Snorted Rabbit."
 * Rabbit: "Now, excuse me, Mr. Garrison needs me to pull the express."
 * Michael Angelis: "And he huffed away. But Rabbit was wrong."
 * Mr. Garrison: "You must go to the harbor and collect some important goods, Rabbit. They're heavy, so be careful."
 * Michael Angelis: "Said Mr. Garrison."
 * Rabbit: "But sir, I've just been refurred. Can't Mario or Piglet do it? They're dirty and like working with goombas."
 * Mr. Garrison: "Really useful TV characters don't argue!"
 * Michael Angelis:: "So Rabbit didn't. By the time he arrived at the harbor, the weather had changed for the worst."
 * A Goomba: "Your fur's nice, Rabbit, pity about your face though."
 * Michael Angelis: "Said a goomba."
 * "(Goombas laugh)"
 * Michael Angelis: "Rabbit ignored them and set off. Soon, they came to a hill, and his animator knew that they were in for a difficult time. An old tree, close to the path, was being blown by the strong winds, and rain had weakened the slope. All of a sudden, the tree moved!"
 * Rabbit: "Ooh, help!"
 * Michael Angelis: "Cried Rabbit."
 * Rabbit: "Go away!"
 * Michael Angelis: "But of course, the tree couldn't. Rabbit tried to reverse away from the tree, but his goombas were too heavy."
 * "(Mario whistles)"
 * Michael Angelis: "Then, he heard a whistle."
 * Rabbit's Animator: "It's Mario!"
 * Michael Angelis: "Called his animator. Rabbit felt embarrassed and worried that Mario would laugh at him, but Mario didn't. He knew that this was no time for teasing."
 * Mario: "I'm ready!"
 * Michael Angelis: "Whistled Mario."
 * Rabbit: "So am I."
 * Michael Angelis: "Rabbit Replied."
 * Rabbit: "As ready as I'll ever be."
 * "(The tree crashes to the ground)"
 * Michael Angelis: "They were just in time. Later, Rabbit spoke to Mario."
 * Rabbit: "Piglet and Sebastian were right to warn me."
 * Michael Angelis: "He said."
 * Rabbit: "Thank you for rescuing me, Mario."
 * Mario: "Oh, that's all right. We TV characters must pull together, whatever the weather."
 * Michael Angelis: "Just then, Sonic bustled in."
 * Sonic: "Mr. Garrison thinks you're both brave TV characters. Mario, you're going to have a new coat of fur, and Rabbit, Mr. Garrison says that tomorrow, you'll pull the special express!"
 * Michael Angelis: "Everyone was very happy."
