Transcript
Narrator: "It was early morning, and Pongo and his friends were just waking up when Mickey Mouse came to see them."

Mickey Mouse: "I want you all to be on your very best behavior today. A VIP is coming to Disneyland."

Piglet: "What's a V-eyed pea?"

Pongo: "A VIP means a very important passenger, Piglet."

Mickey Mouse: "That's right, Pongo, and this VIP is a professor named Emelius Browne who's presenting me with an award for..." (Clears throat) "services to Disneyland."

Disney Characters: (Cheer)

Sir Ector: "Perhaps you would like me to collect this professor, sir."

Mickey Mouse: "I'm sorry, Sir Ector, but Gaston is already bringing him."

Sir Ector: "Gaston?! Oh, I might have known."

Gaston: "I'll have you there ahead of schedule, sir. I do know how important it is to be on time."

Emelius Browne: "Thank you, Gaston. Just keep your eyes on the path, please."

(Gaston races through a station)

Man: "Oh, my hat! My hat!"

Narrator: "Gaston was going so fast trying to get Emelius Browne to the station on time,"

Gaston: "Out of the way, slow coach!"

Narrator: "He forgot to pay attention to any of the signals."

Hercules: "Oh, such a show-off!"

Narrator: "At the junction, the signalman had set the points to send Hercules along the branch line, but Gaston arrived first. So Gaston was sent onto the branch line by mistake."

(Elephant trumpeting and animals chattering)

Emelius Browne: "Shouldn't we have reach the House of Mouse by now, Gaston?"

Gaston: "Perhaps I should put on more speed, sir."

Narrator: "But Gaston was no longer on the main line to the House of Mouse. Gaston was on the branch line that let to the clay pits."

Gaston: "But how did I..."

Timothy Q. Mouse: "Hello, Gaston. What are you doing here?"

Gaston: "I don't know. There's been some mistake. Uh, sorry, sir, but we seemed to have ended up on the wrong path."

Tweedledee: (Laughs) "Don't you want to take some clay pirates with you, Gaston?"

Tweedledee and Tweedledum: (Laughing)

Tweedledum: "That would be really useful."

Tweedledee and Tweedledum: (Laughing)

Narrator: "By the time Gaston finally arrived at the House of Mouse, he was very late indeed."

Emelius Browne: "I came here to present you with a Disneyland award, Mickey Mouse, but I'm not very impressed with my transport so far, and I will not travel back to the mainland with this man."

Sir Ector: "Not to worry. I can take you back to the mainland, sir."

Mickey Mouse: "Thank you, Sir Ector, but I'll decide who's taking Emelius Browne back at the end of the day."

Pongo: "Maybe I'll be the one who takes Emelius Browne back."

Donald Duck: "You'll be lucky. Surely Mickey will pick me!"

Sir Ector: "Nonsense! You're both much too slow."

Pongo and Donald Duck: "We can go just as fast as you!"

Narrator: "That day, all the Disney character hurried about their work, trying to show how quick they could be. They all wanted to choosen to take Emelius Browne back to the mainland. Gaston watch the other Disney characters rush about. He was feeling very sorry for himself"

Gaston: "If only I hadn't been in such a hurry. If only I had tried to get my job done properly without showing off."

Narrator: "But it was the other Disney characters who were showing off now."

Donald Duck: (Laughs) "Wellsworth House! Right on time."

(Donald stops so quickly)

Passengers: (Murmuring frightfully)

Sir Ector: "Oh, ho-ho! Oh, Donald, your poor passengers. You mustn't stop so quickly."

Donald Duck: "Well, at least my passengers can step onto the platform, Sir Ector."

Sir Ector: "Oh."

Narrator: "By trying so hard to be fast, the Disney characters were causing confusion and delay."

Jiminy Cricket: "Peter Pan, what are you doing on my path?"

Peter Pan: "Your path? Who said this is your path?"

Jiminy Cricket: "There are two ways of doing things, Peter Pan. The conscience way and..."

Peter Pan: "The wrong way. I know, and you're doing it the wrong way!"

Narrator: "All the Disney characters were making silly mistakes, but Pongo's mistakes were the silliest of all."

Abigail: "Pongo! What are you doing?"

Amelia: "Ducks don't need dog food!"

Pongo: "Sorry!"

Narrator: "At the end of the day, Mickey Mouse was very disappointed with his Disney characters."

Mickey Mouse: "Everyone makes mistakes, but when you are showing off and in a hurry, you make far more mistakes than usual, and you have all been showing off! I don't think any of these Disney characters deserve to take you home to the mainland, sir. Perhaps I can lend you my car."

Sir Ector: "Oh, the indignity!"

Gaston: "Perhaps you'd let me take Emelius Browne home after all."

Mickey Mouse: "You, Gaston?"

Gaston: "I can learn from my mistakes, sir. I just need to be given one more chance."

Emelius Browne: "Gaston is right. Everyone deserves a second chance. I will forget what happened today, and maybe tomorrow I can come back and see how Disneyland really runs."

Donald Duck: "Yes, sir."

Pongo: "Thank you, sir!"

Narrator: "So the next day, Emelius Browne did come back, and all of Mickey Mouse's Disney characters showed him just how well Disneyland could be run."

Emelius Browne: "Excellent, Mickey Mouse! You run a very fine land indeed."

Mickey Mouse: "I told you they were really useful Disney characters."

Pongo, Gaston, Donald Duck and Piglet: "Hooray!"
