Script

 * (We open this episode with the Thomas and Friends Season 6 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. Toby is a different engine, he's a tram engine.
 * (A passing by sequence occurs and we begin Edward's Exploit)
 * George Carlin: Bertie the Bus was giving some visitors the tour on the Island of Sodor. It was their last afternoon, and Edward was preparing to take them to meet Bill and Ben. He found it hard to start the heavy train.
 * Henry: Did you see him straining?
 * George Carlin: Asked Henry.
 * James: Positively painful.
 * George Carlin: Remarked James.
 * Gordon: Just pathetic.
 * George Carlin: Grunted Gordon.
 * Gordon: He should give up and be preserved before it's too late.
 * Duck: Shut up!
 * George Carlin: Burst out Duck.
 * Duck: You're all jealous. Edward's better than any of you.
 * BoCo: You're right, Duck.
 * George Carlin: Said BoCo.
 * BoCo: Edward's old, but he'll surprised us all.
 * Edward: I've done it, we're off! I've done it, we're off!
 * George Carlin: Said Edward, as he finally puffed out of the station. Bill and Ben were delighted to see the visitors. They loved being photographed. Later, they take the party to the China Clay Works in the break van special.
 * (Bill and Ben take the visitors to their home)
 * George Carlin: Everyone have a splendid time, and the visitors were most impressed. Then, Edward took the visitors home. On the way, the weather changed. Wind and rain buffered in Edward. His sanding gear failed, and his fireman rode in front dropping sand on the rails by hand. Suddenly, Edward's wheels slipped fiercely and with a shrieking crack...
 * (Snap!)
 * George Carlin: ...something broke. The crew inspected the damage. Repairs took some time.
 * Edward's Driver: One of your crank pins broke, Edward?
 * George Carlin: Said his driver.
 * Edward's Driver: We've taken your side rods off. Now you're like an old fashioned engine. Can you get these people home? They must start back tonight.
 * Edward: I'll try, sir.
 * George Carlin: Promised Edward. Edward puffed and pulled his hardest. But his wheels kept slipping, and he couldn't start the heavy train. The passengers were anxious. The driver, fireman and guard went along the train, making adjustments between the coaches.
 * Edward's Driver: We've loosened the couplings, Edward. Now you can pick up your coaches one by one, just as you do with freight cars.
 * Edward: That'll be much easier.
 * George Carlin: Said Edward.
 * Edward: Come on!
 * George Carlin: He puffed, and moved cautiously forward. The first coach moving help to start the second and the second help the third.
 * Edward: I've done it, I've done it!
 * George Carlin: Puffed Edward.
 * Edward's Driver: Steady, boy.
 * George Carlin: Said his driver.
 * Edward's Driver: Well done, boy! You've got them, you've got them!
 * George Carlin: And he listened happily to Edward's steady beat, as he forced slowly but surely ahead. At last, battered, wearily, but unbeaten, Edward steamed in. Henry was waiting for the visitors with the special train.
 * Edward: Peep peep!
 * George Carlin: Sir Topham Hatt angrily pointed to the clock, but excited passengers cheered and thanked Edward, his driver and fireman. Duck and BoCo saw to it that Edward was left in peace. Gordon and James remain respectfully silent.
 * (Another passing by sequence occurs and we begin Let's Have A Race)

 * Girl: To pass you on that hill Thomas I'd need wings like an airplane.

 * George Carlin: Duncan would not stop grumbling. He grumbled that he wasn't polished enough. He grumbled that he was overworked. Most of all, he grumbled about the passengers.
 * Skarloey: I'm ashamed of you, Duncan.
 * George Carlin: Said Skarloey.
 * Skarloey: Thank goodness Rheneas was coming home soon. Perhaps he'll teach you some sense before it's too late.
 * Duncan: What is Rheneas to do with me?
 * Skarloey: Rheneas saved our railway.
 * George Carlin: Replied Skarloey.
 * Peter Sam: Please tell us about it.
 * George Carlin: Said Peter Sam.
 * Skarloey: Well.
 * George Carlin: Began Skarloey.
 * Skarloey: It was before you came here. Things were bad. Rheneas and I have to keep the trains running or our railway will have to close.
 * Peter Sam: How awful.
 * George Carlin: Murmured Peter Sam.
 * Skarloey: I've tried hard.
 * George Carlin: Continued Skarloey.
 * Skarloey: But my old wheels ached. Rheneas understood.
 * Rheneas: It's my turn now.
 * Skarloey: He telled me. He was often short of steam but he always struggled to the station and then rested there.
 * Rheneas: I mustn't stop between stations.
 * George Carlin: He'd say.
 * Rheneas: The passengers wouldn't like it.
 * Duncan: Humph!
 * George Carlin: Huffed Duncan. He had stopped on the viaduct and hadn't cared at all.
 * Skarloey: Passengers.
 * George Carlin: Continued Skarloey.
 * Skarloey: Get cross if you stopped on the wrong places. Rheneas stopped on the wrong place once and this is what happened.
 * George Carlin: One wet and windy afternoon and the rails were dammed, Rheneas was traveling home with a full train. They were even passengers and the caboose. It wasn't a comfortable ride at all. Rheneas' wheels kept slipping and it was a steep climb. At last, his wheels gripped the rails again.
 * Rheneas: The worse was over.
 * George Carlin: He thought.
 * Rheneas: Now we're away.
 * George Carlin: But they weren't.
 * Rheneas: Aah, I've got cramp!
 * George Carlin: He groaned. And Rheneas stopped on the loneliness part of the line. His driver examine him carefully.
 * Rheneas' Driver: Your valve gear has jammed. We need to reach the next station. Do you think you still get us here?
 * Rheneas: I'll try.
 * George Carlin: Replied Rheneas. Rheneas did his best.
 * Rheneas: If I fail.
 * George Carlin: He thought to himself.
 * Rheneas: The passengers will be cross and the railway will close.
 * George Carlin: Everything blurred. He was really too tired to make the turn of his wheels, but he did, and another, and another, and another. Finally, tired but triumph, Rheneas reached the station.
 * Rheneas: I'm here at last!
 * George Carlin: He wheezed.
 * Passengers: Thank you for giving us home.
 * George Carlin: Said the passengers.
 * Passengers: We'll tell all our friends what a fine railway this is.
 * George Carlin: His driver was delighted.
 * Rheneas' Driver: You're a gallant little engine.
 * George Carlin: He said to Rheneas.
 * Rheneas' Driver: When you're rested we'll mend you, so you'll be ready for tomorrow.
 * Skarloey: And...
 * George Carlin: Smiled Skarloey.
 * Skarloey: Rheneas was always ready for tomorrow.
 * Duncan: Thank you for telling us about him.
 * George Carlin: Whispered Duncan.
 * Duncan: I was wrong. Passengers are important after all.
 * George Carlin: The next day Rheneas came home. All the engines were there to greet him. Edward push his truck to the siding where he was lifted on to his rails. This was the signal for a chorus of whistles from engines large and small. Everyone was happy and Rheneas was the happiest of all.
 * Rheneas: You know.
 * George Carlin: He whispered to Skarloey.
 * Rheneas: This helps an engine feel that at last he has really come home.
 * (Another passing by sequence occurs and we begin Sir Topham Hatt)
 * (Gordon's whistle toots)
 * Children (singing): His name is Sir Topham Hatt. Some people say he's - Stout!! Rather rotund, really quite round. But he doesn't see it like that.
 * Girl: He's considered he's a gentleman of merit.
 * Boy: With a railway exquisitely fine.
 * Children: (singing) But his main aim is to see that his trains run right on time. Sir Top, Sir Topham Hatt. He's the head of the railway. There is no doubt about that controller of the line. It's as plain as plain can be for everyone to see that it's the Fat Controller's railway. One day he was having breakfast, when Thomas decided to call. He arrived unexpected and quite uninvited straight through the dining room wall.
 * Boy: My goodness! Said the controller. Why didn't you knock at the door?
 * Children: (singing) This won't do at all just look at my wall and my breakfast on the floor. Sir Top, Sir Topham Hatt. He's the head of the railway there is no doubt about that controller of the line. It's plain as plain can be for everyone to see that it's the Fat Controller's railway. He's so proud of his engines each and everyone. And though he's strict and meticulous, favorites he has none. If ever there is trouble, you know who will be there.
 * Girl: If there's ever a crash a smash or a muddle, he's there on the double, no trouble.
 * Children: (singing) Cause it's the Fat Controller's railway. When Henry stayed in the tunnel, everyone tried to push. But Sir Topham Hatt would have none of that.
 * Boy: My doctor has forbidden me to push.
 * Children: (singing) And one day the wind blew his hat off.
 * Girl: A goat in the field saw his chance.
 * Children: (singing) He just picked up the hat, said thank you for that and ate it up for lunch. Sir Top, Sir Topham Hatt. He's the head of the railway. There is no doubt about that controller of the line. It's plain as plain can be for everyone to see that it's the Fat Controller's railway. Sir Top, Sir Topham Hatt. He's the head of the railway. There is no doubt about that controller of the line. It's plain as plain can be for everyone to see that it's the Fat Controller's railway. The Fat Controller's railway. Sir Top-ham Hatt.
 * (Another passing by sequence occurs and we begin Donald's Duck)
 * George Carlin: Duck the Great Western engine works hard in the yard at the big station. Sometimes, he pulled coaches. Sometimes he pushed freight cars. But whatever the work, Duck got the job done without fuss. One day, Duck was resting in the shed when Sir Topham Hatt arrived.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Your work in the yard had been good. Would you like to have a branch line to your own.
 * Duck: Oh, yes please, sir.
 * George Carlin: Replied Duck. So Duck took charge of his new branch line. The responsibility delighted him. The line runs along a coast by sandy beaches till it meets a port were big ships come in. Duck enjoyed exploring every curve and corner of the line. Sea breezes swirled his smoke high into the air and his green paint glistened in the sunlight.
 * Duck: This is just like being on holiday.
 * George Carlin: He puffed.
 * Duck's Driver: Well you know what they say.
 * George Carlin: Laughed his driver.
 * Duck's Driver: A change is as good as a rest.
 * George Carlin: Soon, Duck was busier than ever. The Fat Controller was building a new station at the port and Duck pushed the freight cars whenever they were needed. Bertie looked after Duck's passengers and the other engines helped too. But the work took a long time. Noise and dust filled the air.
 * Toby: Don't worry.
 * George Carlin: Whistled Toby.
 * Toby: The station is nearly finished.
 * Duck: And on time, too.
 * George Carlin: Said Duck thankfully. Duck felt his responsibility deeply and talked endlessly about it.
 * Duck: You don't understand, Donald, how much Sir Topham Hatt relies on me.
 * Donald: Och aye.
 * George Carlin: Muttered Donald sleepily.
 * Duck: I'm great western and I...
 * Donald: Quack, quack, quack.
 * Duck: What?
 * Donald: You heard. Quack, quack you go. Sounds like you had an egg laid. Now wheesh and let an engine sleep.
 * Duck: Quack yourself!
 * George Carlin: Said Duck indignantly. Later, he spoke to his driver.
 * Duck: Donald says I quack, as if I laid an egg.
 * Duck's Fireman: Quack do you?
 * George Carlin: Pondered his fireman. He whispered something to Duck and his driver. They were going to play a joke on Donald and pay him back for teasing Duck. The engines were busy for the rest of the day and nothing more was said. Not even a quack. But when at last, Donald was asleep, Duck's driver and fireman popped something into his water tank. Next morning when Donald stopped for water, he found that he had an unexpected passenger aboard. A small white duckling popped out of his water tank.
 * Donald: Now do who's behind this.
 * George Carlin: Laughed Donald. The duckling was tamed. She shared the fireman's sandwiches and rode in the tender. The other engines enjoyed teasing Donald about her. Presently, she grew tired of travelling and hopped off to the station and there she stayed. That night, Donald's driver and fireman got busy and in the morning when Duck's crew arrived, they laughed and laughed.
 * Duck's Driver: Look, Duck. Look what's under your bunker. It's a nest box with an egg in it.
 * George Carlin: Donald opened a sleepy eye.
 * Donald: Well, well, well. You must've laid it in the night, Duck. All unbeknownst.
 * George Carlin: Then Duck laughed too.
 * Duck: You win, Donald. It did take a clever engine to get the better of you.
 * George Carlin: There's a pond near the duckling station. Here she swims and welcomes the trains as they passed by. The stationmaster calls her Dilly. To everyone else, she is always Donald's Duck.
 * (Another passing by sequence occurs and we begin Donald's Duck)
 * Children (singing): I found a quacker in my tender. She was very, very tame. But she quacked all night and through the day. She was driving me insane. My driver and my fireman tried everything they know to shoo the quacker away from me but she did not want to go. The quacker clearly loves me was impossible to nab. So now we have befriended her. She rides inside my cab. She quacks in stations big and small. She quacks at people too. Now everyone calls her Donald's Duck but I call her my quackeroo. She makes me so happy with her little ways. So happy, it's true. Now everyone calls her Donald's Duck but I call her my quackeroo. Quacking here, quacking there. She is quacking everywhere. Quack, quack, choo, choo, choo. She's my little quackeroo. She's quacking here and there. She's quacking everywhere. Quack, quack, choo, choo, choo. She's my quackeroo. Now everybody loves her. They love to hear her quack. But when we have to say goodbye, they ask when she'll be back. She's captured everybody's heart. She knows just what to do. Now everyone calls her Donald's Duck but she's my quackeroo. She makes me so happy with her little ways. So happy, it's true. Now everyone calls her Donald's Duck but I call her my quackeroo. Quacking here, quacking there. She's quacking everywhere. Quack, quack, choo, choo, choo. She's my little quackeroo. She's quacking here and there. She's quacking everywhere. Quack, quack, choo, choo, choo. She's my quackeroo. She's my quackeroo, she's my quackeroo.
