Transcript
Narrator: "Early one morning, Chief Thunderhooves was feeling tired."

Fire Lighter: "I don't know what's wrong."

Narrator: "Sighed the fire lighter."

Fire Lighter: "There must be gremlins about."

Pipsqueak: "What are gremlins?"

Narrator: "Asked Pipsqueak."

Spike: "I've heard they're little green men who play tricks."

Narrator: "Replied Pipsqueak."

Pipsqueak: "Can we find one?"

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Pah!"

Narrator: "Said Cranky."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Gremlins don't exist, they're just an excuse for when things go wrong."

Spike: "If fire lighter says there are gremlins, there are!"

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Ha!"

Narrator: "Snorted Cranky.

Hoity Toity had heard everything."

Hoity Toity: "Silence!"

Narrator: "He said."

Hoity Toity: "I am expecting a V.I.P., a very important person today. She has heard that that all my animals are really useful. Please prove it."

Spike, Pipsqueak and Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Yes, sir!"

Narrator: "They said."

Pipsqueak: "As long as the Gremlins let us."

Hoity Toity: "What Gremlins?"

Pipsqueak: "The one's in Chief Thunderhooves's head, sir. That's why he's not ready yet."

Hoity Toity: "I'll see about that."

Narrator: "Thundered Hoity Toity, and he did."

Hoity Toity: "Chief Thunderhooves, I expect you to be on your best behavior today. You are to bring the special buffalo for my special visitor. But no high speeds, please; she won't like that."

Narrator: "Chief Thunderhooves was proud and pleased.

He was waiting for his special buffalo when Pipsqueak puffed in with some coal."

Pipsqueak: "What's the matter, Chief Thunderhooves? You're late."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Driver says there's gremlins in the turntable."

Narrator: "Replied Chief Thunderhooves."

Pipsqueak: "They must be everywhere!"

Narrator: "Squeaked Pipsqueak.

At last, the turntable was mended, and Chief Thunderhooves puffed away with the special buffalo.

He was soon working hard to make up for lost time.

After he arrived at the station, Hoity Toity became concerned."

Hoity Toity: "Where's Spike?"

Narrator: "He wondered."

Hoity Toity: "He's supposed to be bringing my visitor from the harbor."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Ha!"

Narrator: "Huffed Chief Thunderhooves."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Spike isn't really useful if he's late."

Narrator: "But it wasn't long before Spike arrived."

Spike: "I'm sorry, a cow strayed on the line and we had to wait for the farmer to take her away, but driver says your visitor is here safe and sound."

Hoity Toity: "Indeed she is."

Narrator: "Smiled Hoity Toity."

Hoity Toity: "How nice to see you."

Pipsqueak: "Who is it?"

Narrator: "Whispered Pipsqueak."

Spike: "I don't know,"

Narrator: "Replied Spike."

Spike: "But Hoity Toity is certainly keen to please her. He's arranged a special party for her."

Pipsqueak: "She's got a dog."

Narrator: "Said Pipsqueak."

(Gremlin barks)

Spike's Driver: "Come on, Spike."

Narrator: "Said his driver."

Spike's Driver: "You need a drink."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Ha!"

Narrator: "Puffed Chief Thunderhooves."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Spike is just a lazy little dragon. Hoity Toity is expecting me to arrive on time. We're late because of Spike."

Narrator: "Chief Thunderhooves's driver decided to make up for lost time.

Then there was trouble."

Chief Thunderhooves' Driver: "I think we'd better slow down, this is an old path and could make things very uncomfortablel for the V.I.P."

Narrator: "And it did. She was taking a bath, and the water was slopping about all over the place."

Mayor Mare: "Ohhhh!"

Narrator: "She cried.

Chief Thunderhooves was very relieved to reach his final destination, where Spike was waiting to collect Hoity Toity and his special visitor.

He blew an extra-long whistle. This frightened the visitor's dog so much, that he fled from the station and ran into a field where a bull was grazing.

The bull frightened the little dog even more. He ran back again, onto the platform, and over the bridge.

He didn't stop until he jumped straight onto Spike."

(Gremlin Barks)

Narrator: "But he had a wonderful ride, all the way to the harbor."

Spike's Fireman: "What's the dog's name?"

Narrator: "Asked the fireman."

Mayor Mare: "Well, after today's events, I think I'll rename him 'Gremlin'."

Narrator: "Hoity Toity chuckled."

Hoity Toity: "In that case, I've met one at last. Ha ha ha!"

Spike: "Excuse me, Sir, but who is your very important visitor?"

Hoity Toity: "Why, didn't I tell you? This lady is my mother, and she agrees with me, you are indeed, really useful animals, and my mother, of course, is always right."

(Hoity Toity chuckles)
