Thomas and The Spaceship Transcript

Transcript

 * Michael Brandon: It was a foggy night on the Island of Sodor. The engines' lamps burned brightly. And the fog swirled and twirled around their wheels as the engines headed home. All except for Percy. A valve had come loose in his cylinder. Percy had broken down. Thomas chuffed in.
 * Thomas: Hello, Percy.
 * Michael Brandon: He tooted.
 * Percy: Hello.
 * Michael Brandon: He peeped happily. Thomas buffered up to Percy and they headed home towards Tidmouth sheds. The fog was thick. Thomas wanted to be quick. Suddenly, Percy peeped...
 * Percy: Look, Thomas. There are flashing lights in the sky.
 * Michael Brandon: Thomas couldn't see any lights.
 * Percy: It must be a spaceship.
 * Michael Brandon: Peeped Percy.
 * Thomas: A spaceship?
 * Michael Brandon: Puffed Thomas.
 * Thomas: Are you sure?
 * Percy: Sure as I'm a little green engine.
 * Michael Brandon: Whistled Percy. He was very excited, and that made Thomas excited, too. Thomas and Percy arrived at Tidmouth sheds.
 * Percy: I've seen the spaceship.
 * Michael Brandon: Percy whistled excitedly.
 * Gordon: Huh!
 * Michael Brandon: Snorted Gordon.
 * Gordon: What a foolish little engine.
 * Michael Brandon: Thomas didn't like Gordon calling Percy foolish. Then Sir Topham Hatt arrived.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Thomas, tonight you must take Percy's mail cars.
 * Michael Brandon: Thomas was happy to do this. Now, he could find Percy's spaceship.
 * Thomas: I'll show you that Percy isn't a foolish little engine.
 * Michael Brandon: Thomas tooted to Gordon. And he set off into the fog. Thomas chuffed to the top of Gordon's hill. He was looking for the spaceship. There, in the distance, he saw some flashing lights.
 * Thomas: Hooray!
 * Michael Brandon: Whistled Thomas.
 * Thomas: There's Percy's spaceship.
 * Michael Brandon: And he whished down the hill. Thomas puffed closer and closer, but it wasn't a spaceship. It was a circle of workman's lights. The workmen were fixing some broken track. Thomas was very disappointed.
 * Thomas: I must find Percy's spaceship.
 * Michael Brandon: He whistled. So he chuffed on through the fog. Then Thomas saw another flashing light.
 * Thomas: Hooray.
 * Michael Brandon: He chuffed.
 * Thomas: There's Percy's spaceship.
 * Michael Brandon: Thomas puffed closer and closer. But it wasn't Percy's spaceship. It was the lamp in the lighthouse flashing on and off.
 * Thomas: Bother.
 * Michael Brandon: Puffed Thomas. But he still wanted to find Percy's spaceship, so he puffed on through the fog. Thomas was very tired, and it was very late. He had searched everywhere. How was he going to show Gordon that Percy had seen a spaceship? Then, suddenly, he saw them. These flashing lights were moving in the sky.
 * Thomas: There must be Percy's spaceship.
 * Michael Brandon: Whistled Thomas. He was very excited. Thomas pumped his pistons and raced after the flashing lights. The spaceship was flying lower and lower in the sky. Suddenly, Thomas didn't feel tired anymore. Thomas's wheels clickety-clacked on the rails of the track to see Jeremy the Plane coming in to land at the airport.
 * Thomas: Cinders and ashes!
 * Michael Brandon: Cried Thomas.
 * Thomas: Jeremy the Plane must be Percy's spaceship.
 * Michael Brandon: Thomas felt very sad. He hadn't found a spaceship. Worst of all, he had let down his friend Percy. Thomas puffed away. He was so tired, the mail cars felt very heavy now.
 * Thomas: Sir Topham Hatt will be cross.
 * Michael Brandon: Sighed Thomas.
 * Thomas: I've spent all night looking for Percy's spaceship.
 * Michael Brandon: Thomas knew that now he couldn't deliver the mail cars on time. He needed help. So he chuffed back to Tidmouth as fast as his aching axles would spin. When Thomas arrived at Tidmouth sheds, Percy was still at the repair yard.
 * Gordon: How many spaceships did you find?
 * Michael Brandon: Huffed Gordon grandly.
 * Thomas: It wasn't a spaceship.
 * Michael Brandon: Puffed Thomas sadly.
 * Thomas: It was Jeremy the plane coming in to land.
 * Michael Brandon: Thomas felt foolish, but he still had to be really useful.
 * Thomas: Gordon, I need your help.
 * Michael Brandon: He tooted.
 * Thomas: You are faster and stronger than any engine. If we share the cars, the mail can still be delivered by breakfast.
 * Michael Brandon: This made Gordon feel important. And Gordon liked feeling important. So Gordon took half the mail cars and Thomas took the others...until all the mail was delivered by breakfast. The next night there was no fog.
 * Thomas: Look.
 * Michael Brandon: Thomas tooted.
 * Thomas: There's Jeremy the plane.
 * Michael Brandon: He was very excited. All the engines watched Jeremy coming in to land at the airport. It was a magical sight.
 * Percy: I think Jeremy's better than a spaceship any day.
 * Michael Brandon: Peeped Percy. And Thomas had to agree.
