Percy And The Magic Carpet Transcript

Transcript

 * Michael Brandon: It was a windy day on the island of Sodor. Trees were blown, leaves were scattered and Sir Topham Hatt's hat flew away! The engines were looking forward to the Annual Sodor Flower Show. At Tidmouth Sheds, Sir Topham Hatt had news of an important special delivery.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: It must get to Maithwaite Station before the world famous opera singer Allicia Botti arrives.
 * Michael Brandon: He boomed. Allicia Botti was coming to open the flower show. The engines were very excited. They all wanted to collect the special delivery. But Sir Topham Hatt gave the job to Percy. Percy was delighted. But after Sir Topham Hatt left, Gordon and James were sniffy.
 * Gordon: It can't be that special.
 * Michael Brandon: Boasted Gordon.
 * Gordon: Or Sir Topham Hatt would have sent me.
 * James: Or me.
 * Michael Brandon: Added James.
 * James: A red engine would be just the thing.
 * Michael Brandon: Percy wondered what the special delivery could be. He steamed out of Tidmouth as fast as he could. Percy arrived at Brendam Docks just as Cranky unloaded his special delivery. Percy was disappointed to see it was a roll of carpet.
 * Percy: What's so special about a carpet?
 * Michael Brandon: He wheezed gloomily.
 * Salty: Maybe it's a magic carpet, me hearty.
 * Michael Brandon: Said Salty.
 * Salty: I've heard tales of carpets that can fly. Do you know any magic words?
 * Michael Brandon: Said Salty.
 * Percy: You mean like "please"?
 * Michael Brandon: Asked Percy hopefully.
 * Salty: No, Percy.
 * Michael Brandon: Said Salty.
 * Salty: Other magic words like "hey, presto," "hocus pocus" and "abracadabra."
 * Michael Brandon: Cranky had lowered the carpet onto Percy's flatbed.
 * Percy: It doesn't look very magic.
 * Michael Brandon: Said Percy sadly. But as Percy puffed away, the carpet unrolled, as if by magic. Percy puffed as quickly as he could. He had to stop at a junction. Gordon was waiting there. When Gordon saw what Percy's special delivery was, he sniffed louder than ever.
 * Gordon: A carpet! No wonder Sir Topham Hatt gave the job to a small engine.
 * Michael Brandon: Just then, the wind whistled and whirled and the carpet flew into the air.
 * Percy: Look.
 * Michael Brandon: Percy cried.
 * Percy: It is. It can fly!
 * Gordon: That's not magic.
 * Michael Brandon: Snorted Gordon.
 * Gordon: That's just the wind.
 * Michael Brandon: Murdoch passed by pulling a long train. And the carpet suddenly dropped onto one of his freight cars.
 * Percy: It is a magic carpet.
 * Michael Brandon: Wailed Percy.
 * Percy: And it's going without me!
 * Michael Brandon: Percy chased after Murdoch.
 * Percy: Wait for me!
 * Michael Brandon: He cried.
 * Percy: Please wait!
 * Michael Brandon: But Murdoch didn't hear Percy. Murdoch passed through Maron Station. James was taking on passengers.
 * Percy: Help!
 * Michael Brandon: Cried Percy.
 * Percy: Murdoch has got my magic carpet!
 * James: There's no such thing as a magic carpet.
 * Michael Brandon: Huffed James. Just then, the carpet lifted off Murdoch's freight car and glided onto Toby's roof.
 * Percy: See?
 * Michael Brandon: Cried Percy.
 * Percy: It is magic. It can fly!
 * Michael Brandon: Percy raced after Toby. Until finally Toby pulled into Kellsthorpe Station. Percy pulled in as fast as he could.
 * Percy: Wait!
 * Michael Brandon: Cried Percy. And Toby didn't move. But the carpet did. It flew off Toby and landed on the tracks.
 * Percy: Help!
 * Michael Brandon: Cried Percy.
 * Percy: My magic carpet!
 * Michael Brandon: Gordon was even less impressed than before.
 * Gordon: Still trying to make your little job look important.
 * Michael Brandon: He grumbled. Then there was trouble. Thomas was coming, and he was on the same track as the carpet, so Percy and Gordon blew their whistles as loud as they could but Thomas couldn't stop in time.
 * Percy: I'll say a magic word.
 * Michael Brandon: Cried Percy.
 * Percy: Hey, presto. Hocus pocus? Abracadabra?
 * Michael Brandon: But the carpet didn't move.
 * Percy: Please?
 * Michael Brandon: Puffed Percy hopefully. Suddenly the wind whistled and the carpet flapped. It lifted off the tracks and fluttered onto Percy's flatbed.
 * Gordon: It is magic.
 * Michael Brandon: Gasped Gordon.
 * Percy: And I'm going to be late.
 * Michael Brandon: Puffed Percy. Percy's driver had tied the carpet down, and Percy steamed off as fast as he could. Percy puffed into Maithwaite Station. Sir Topham Hatt was waiting for him. Percy told him about the magic carpet.
 * Percy: It tried to get away.
 * Michael Brandon: He gasped.
 * Percy: And cause confusion and delay.
 * Michael Brandon: Sir Topham Hatt laughed.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: There's no such thing as a magic carpet.
 * Michael Brandon: He boomed.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: But you, Percy, are on time and a really useful engine.
 * Michael Brandon: Percy felt very proud. Soon the carpet was unloaded and put into place. Gordon arrived with Allicia Botti. And the flower show was an enormous success. And even though Sir Topham Hatt had said the carpet wasn't magic, Percy and Gordon were not so sure.
