Script

 * (We open this episode with the Thomas and Friends Season 7 intro)
 * (After that, we begin the character introduction)
 * Alec Baldwin: Thomas is a really useful engine. Here's Percy. He is a very happy engine. James is a magnificent engine. Gordon is the most fastest engine on the Island of Sodor. Henry is long and fast. Here's Edward always here to help.
 * (A passing by sequence occurs and we begin Thomas Goes Fishing)
 * George Carlin: When Thomas puffed along his branch line, he always look forward to something special. The sight of the river. As they rumble over the bridge, he would see people fishing. Thomas often wanted to stay and watch, but his driver said...
 * Thomas' Driver: No! What would Sir Topham Hatt say if we were late?
 * George Carlin: Every time he met another engine he say...
 * Thomas: I want to fish.
 * George Carlin: But they all had the same answer.
 * James: Engines don't go fishing.
 * Thomas: Silly stick in the muds.
 * George Carlin: Thought Thomas. One day, he stopped as usual to take him water at the station by the river. Out of order.
 * Thomas: Bother!
 * George Carlin: Said Thomas.
 * Thomas: I'm thirsty.
 * Thomas' Driver: Never mind.
 * George Carlin: Said his driver.
 * Thomas' Driver: We'll get some water from the river.
 * George Carlin: They found a bucket and some rope and went to the bridge. Then the driver left the bucket down to the water. The bucket was old and have five holes, so they had to fill it, pull it up, and empty it into Thomas' tank as quickly as they could several times over. They finished at last.
 * Thomas: That's good, that's good.
 * George Carlin: Puffed Thomas and Annie and Clarabel ran happily behind. Suddenly, Thomas began to feel a pain in his boiler. Steam began to hiss with his safety valve in an alarming way.
 * Thomas' Driver: There's too much steam!
 * George Carlin: Said his driver.
 * Thomas: Oh dear!
 * George Carlin: Groaned Thomas.
 * Thomas: I'm going to burst! I'm going to burst!
 * George Carlin: They damped down his fire and struggled on.
 * Thomas: I've got such a pain, I've got such a pain!
 * George Carlin: Thomas hissed. They stopped just outside the last station, uncoupled Annie and Clarabel and ran Thomas, who was still hissing fit to burst, on a siding right out of the way. Then, while the conductor telephoned for an engine inspector, the driver found notice in large letters, which he hung on Thomas in front and behind. Danger: Keep Away. Soon, the inspector and Sir Topham Hatt arrived.
 * Inspector: Cheer up, Thomas.
 * George Carlin: They said.
 * Inspector: We'll soon put you right.
 * George Carlin: The driver told them what had happened.
 * Inspector: So the feed pipe is blocked.
 * George Carlin: Said the inspector.
 * Inspector: I'll just look in the tanks.
 * George Carlin: He climbed up and peered in, then he came down.
 * Inspector: Excuse me, sir, please look in the tank and tell me what you see.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Certainly, inspector.
 * George Carlin: Said Sir Topham Hatt. He clambered up, looked in and nearly fell off in surprise.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Inspector.
 * George Carlin: He whispered.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Can you see fish?
 * (Thomas is horrified upon hearing this)
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Gracious goodness me! How did the fish get there, driver?
 * Thomas' Driver: We must have fished them from the river with our bucket.
 * George Carlin: Replied Thomas' driver.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Well, Thomas, so you and your driver had been fishing. But fish don't suit you. We must get them out.
 * George Carlin: They all took turns and fishing into Thomas' tank while Sir Topham Hatt looked down and told them how to do it. When they had caught all the fish, they had a lovely picnic supper of fish and chips.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Mmm. That was good.
 * George Carlin: Said Sir Topham Hatt.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: But fish don't suit you, Thomas, so you mustn't do it again.
 * Thomas: No, sir, I won't.
 * George Carlin: Said Thomas sadly.
 * Thomas: Engines don't go fishing. It's too uncomfortable.
 * (Another passing by sequence occurs and we begin Gone Fishing)
 * Children: (singing) Sometimes it's nice to take some time out. Do what you really want to do. Just to relax and let the world fly by you. Forget your worry, no need to hurry. Just leave a sign to say... Gone fishing, gone fishing. It's a sunny old day and you're on your way, Gone fishing. Gone fishing, Gone fishing. It's a sunny old day and you're on your way. Why don't we all go fishing? You drop your line down to the river, Waiting to see what you can find. Whatever life has to offer you. You know you'll take it, stand up and face it, Smiling along the way. Gone fishing, gone fishing. It's a sunny old day and you're on your way, Gone fishing. Gone fishing, Gone fishing. It's a sunny old day and you're on your way. Why don't we all go fishing? There's nothing better on a sunny day, When all your work is done. Throw down your line, settle down. Surprise, surprise, look what you've found. Gone fishing, gone fishing. It's a sunny old day and you're on your way, Gone fishing. Gone fishing, Gone fishing. It's a sunny old day and you're on your way. Why don't we all go fishing? It's a sunny old day and you're on your way... Gone fishing!
 * (Another passing by sequence occurs and we begin Percy Takes The Plunge)
 * George Carlin: One day, Henry wanted a rest, but Percy was talking to some engines. He was telling them about the time he had brave bad weather to help Thomas.
 * Percy: It was raining hard. Water swirled under my boiler. I couldn't see where I was going, but I struggled on.
 * Bill: Oh, Percy, you are brave.
 * Percy: Well, it wasn't anything really. Water's nothing to an engine with determination.
 * Ben: Tell us more, Percy.
 * Henry: What are you engines doing here?
 * George Carlin: Hissed Henry.
 * Henry: This shed is for Sir Topham Hatt's engines. Go away. Silly things.
 * George Carlin: Henry snorted.
 * Percy: They're not silly.
 * George Carlin: Percy had been enjoying himself.
 * Henry: They are silly and so are you. Water's nothing to an engine with determination. Huh.
 * Percy: Anyway.
 * George Carlin: Said cheeky Percy.
 * Percy: I'm not afraid of water, I like it.
 * George Carlin: He ran off to the harbour singing.
 * Percy: Once an engine attached to a train, was afraid of a few drops of rain.
 * Henry: No one ever lets me forget the time I wouldn't come out of the tunnel in case the rain spoiled my paint.
 * George Carlin: Huffed Henry. Thomas was looking at the board on the quay.
 * Thomas: Danger. We mustn't go passed it.
 * George Carlin: He said.
 * Thomas: That's orders.
 * Percy: Why?
 * Thomas: Danger means falling down something.
 * George Carlin: Said Thomas.
 * Thomas: I went pass danger once, and fell down a mine.
 * Percy: I can't see a mine.
 * George Carlin: Said Percy. He didn't know that the foundations of the quay had sunk. The rails now sloped down into the sea.
 * Percy: Stupid board.
 * George Carlin: Said Percy. He made a plan. One day, he whispered to the cars...
 * Percy: Will you give me a bump when we get to the quay?
 * George Carlin: The cars had never asked to bump an engine before. They giggled and chattered about it.
 * Percy: Driver doesn't know my plan.
 * George Carlin: Chuckled Percy.
 * Freight Cars: On, on, on!
 * George Carlin: Laughed the cars. Percy thought they were helping.
 * Percy: I'll pretend to stop at the station, but the trucks will push me pass the board. Then I'll make them stop. I can do that wherever I like.
 * George Carlin: Every wise engine knows that you cannot trust freight cars.
 * Freight Cars: Go on, go on!
 * George Carlin: They yelled, and bumped Percy's driver and fireman off the footplate.
 * Percy: Ow!
 * George Carlin: Said Percy, sliding pass the board. Percy was frantic.
 * Percy: That's enough!
 * (Percy falls into the water)
 * George Carlin: Percy was sunk.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: You are a very disobedient engine.
 * George Carlin: Percy knew that voice.
 * Percy: Please sir, get me out sir, I'm truly sorry sir.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: No, Percy, we cannot do that till high tide. I hope it will teach you to take care of yourself.
 * Percy: Yes, sir.
 * George Carlin: It was dark when they brought floating cranes to rescue Percy. He was too cold and stiff to move by himself.
 * (Percy is lifted onto a flatbed)
 * George Carlin: Next day, he was sent to the works on Henry's freight train.
 * Henry: Well, well, well!
 * George Carlin: Chuckled Henry.
 * Henry: Did you like the water?
 * Percy: No.
 * Henry: I am surprised. You need more determination, Percy. Water's nothing to an engine with determination you know. Perhaps you will like it better next time.
 * George Carlin: Percy is quite determined that they'll won't be a next time.
 * (Another passing by sequence occurs and we begin Little Engines)
 * Children: (singing) Main Line Engines always boast how big they are, Superior by far. But Little Engines toil away from dawn to dusk, Without a fuss or care. Just because we're small doesn't mean we don't stand tall, And we pull our weight like all the others do. You'll be surprised, in spite of their size, Just what little engines can do! Little Engines, Little Engines, Little Engines can do the biggest things. Little Engines, Little Engines, Little Engines can do most anything. They'll carry on until the work is over, They'll carry on 'til the end, They're the smallest in the station, don't underestimate them, they're not such little engines after all. Bigger Engines say little engines play all day, And they're not much use to anyone at all. But we're strong enough to deal with those trucks, That's what little engines are for! Little Engines, Little Engines, Little Engines can do the biggest things. Little Engines, Little Engines, Little Engines can do most anything. They'll carry on until the work is over, They'll carry on 'til the end, They're the smallest in the station, don't underestimate them, they're not such little engines after all. Thomas, Percy, Bill and Ben, You can rely on them, These little engines are the best! Stepney, Duck, and Oliver, They'll give the trucks what for, You'll be so impressed. Little Engines, Little Engines, Little Engines can do the biggest things. Little Engines, Little Engines, Little Engines can do most anything. They'll carry on until the work is over, They'll carry on 'til the end, They're the smallest in the station, don't underestimate them, they're not such little engines after all. They're our favourite little engines, They're mighty little engines! They're not such little engines after all! They're not such little engines after all!
 * (Another passing by sequence occurs and we begin Thomas' Christmas Party)
 * George Carlin: It was Christmas on the Island of Sodor. All the engines were working hard. Thomas and Toby were busy carrying people and parcels up and down the branch line. Everyone was happy. Only the coaches Annie and Clarabel were complaining.
 * Annie and Clarabel: It's always the same before Christmas.
 * George Carlin: They groaned.
 * Annie and Clarabel: We feel so full, we feel so full.
 * Thomas: Oh, come on!
 * George Carlin: Said Thomas.
 * Thomas: Where's your festive spirit? Christmas day is almost here.
 * George Carlin: By the side of the track was a little cottage with a familiar figure waving to them.
 * Thomas: It's Mrs. Kyndley!
 * George Carlin: Whistled Thomas.
 * Thomas: Peep, peep! Happy Christmas!
 * George Carlin: Thomas always felt better for seeing her.
 * Thomas: Christmas just wouldn't be Christmas without Mrs. Kyndley.
 * George Carlin: He said to himself. When work was over, Thomas went to see the other engines. All their coats had been polished.
 * Gordon: Huh!
 * George Carlin: Said Gordon.
 * Gordon: Just look at us. Your driver will have to work fast to get you as smart as us.
 * Thomas: Never mind that.
 * George Carlin: Replied Thomas.
 * Thomas: I've something important to say. Do you realize it's been a whole year since Mrs. Kyndley saved us from a nasty accident. You remember when she was ill in bed and...
 * Edward: Yes of course.
 * George Carlin: Interrupted Edward.
 * Edward: You told us how she waved her red dressing gown out of her window to warn you about a landslide ahead.
 * Percy: And you and Toby gave her presents.
 * George Carlin: Percy joined in.
 * Percy: And Sir Topham Hatt send her to the seaside to get better.
 * Henry: But...
 * George Carlin: Said the other engines.
 * Henry: The rest of us have never thanked her properly.
 * Thomas: Exactly.
 * George Carlin: Said Thomas.
 * Thomas: So now I think we should all give her a special Christmas party.
 * George Carlin: Everyone was getting very excited and the drivers felt sure that Sir Topham Hatt will agree as indeed he did. The engines were all busy making plans, when silence fell. Sir Topham Hatt had bad news.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: The weather's changed badly. Mrs. Kyndley is snowed up. Toby says he'll help to rescue her. You must help too, Thomas. There's no party unless you do.
 * George Carlin: Thomas hated snow, but he said bravely...
 * Thomas: I'll try, sir. We must rescue her, we must.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: There's a good engine. You and Toby will manage splendidly.
 * George Carlin: Thomas charged the snowdrifts fiercely. Sometimes he swept them aside, sometimes they stuck fast and the men had to loosen them. But at the cutting near the cottage, they could go no further.
 * Thomas' Fireman: Look at that!
 * George Carlin: Exclaimed Thomas' fireman.
 * Thomas: Peep, peep! Here we are.
 * George Carlin: An answering wave came from an upstairs window. Then they heard a familiar sound.
 * Thomas: That's Terence the tractor.
 * George Carlin: Said Thomas.
 * Thomas: He's come to help too.
 * George Carlin: Sure enough, Terence had a snowplow and was working hard to clear a patch to the railroad line to safety. At long last, the rescue was complete. Percy took the tired workmen home. Terence said goodbye to Mrs. Kyndley and promised to take care of her cottage as he watched them all set off. The engines made good time. No more snow had fallen, but the yard was dark. There was nowhere to be seen. Thomas' heart sank. Suddenly, all the lights went on. What a marvelous site awaited Mrs. Kyndley.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Well done!
 * George Carlin: Said Sir Topham Hatt.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: I'm really proud of you all.
 * George Carlin: Mrs. Kyndley especially thanked the smaller engines.
 * Mrs. Kyndley: Thomas and Toby are old friends.
 * George Carlin: She said.
 * Mrs. Kyndley: And now Percy, you are my friend too.
 * Ringo Starr: Percy was very pleased.
 * Percy: Three cheers for Mrs. Kyndley!
 * George Carlin: He called.
 * Percy: Peep, peep, peep!
 * George Carlin: They all whistled.
 * Engines: (singing) We wish you a merry Christmas, we wish you a merry Christmas, we wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year.
 * George Carlin: Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends thought it was the best Christmas ever and Mrs. Kyndley could think of nowhere should rather live than here with them on the Island of Sodor.
 * (Another passing by sequence occurs and we begin Winter Wonderland)
 * Children: This is the story of Thomas' winter wonderland.
 * Girl: (singing) It's a winter wonderland See the snow lay all around.
 * Children: (singing) Bells are ringing; Ding-a-ling-a-ling, Ding, dong Sleigh bells jingle Home for the holiday we go Rushing to our winter wonderland It's a winter wonderland Little engine working hard. His snowplow heaving; Chug-a-chug-a-chug, Chug Choo.
