Script

 * (We open this episode with the Britt Allcroft Presents logo)
 * (Then we see the Thomas Season 6 intro)
 * (After that, we begin the character introduction)
 * Alec Baldwin: Thomas: number one engine who works with Sir Topham Hatt. Percy: he is very happy and really reliable. James is a magnificent engine. Gordon is the most famous engine on the Island of Sodor. Here's Henry: the number three green engine. Edward: always here to help the other engines.
 * (A passing by sequence occurs and we begin Thomas Saves The Day)
 * George Carlin: Every day, Sir Topham Hatt came to the station to catch his train.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Hello.
 * George Carlin: He always said to Thomas.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Don't let the silly freight cars tease you. Remember, you have an important job as a special helper in the train yard.
 * (Thomas' whistle toots)
 * George Carlin: There were lots of freight cars and Thomas worked very hard pushing and pulling them into place. There was also a small coach and two strange things his driver called cranes.
 * Thomas' Driver: That's the breakdown train.
 * George Carlin: He told Thomas.
 * Thomas' Driver: The cranes are for lifting heavy things like engines and coaches and freight cars.
 * George Carlin: One day, Thomas was in the yard. Suddenly he heard an engine whistling.
 * James: Help! Help!
 * George Carlin: A freight train came rushing through much too fast. The engine was James and he was frightened. His brake blocks were on fire.
 * James: They're pushing me, they're pushing me.
 * George Carlin: He panted.
 * Freight Cars: On, on!
 * George Carlin: Laughed the freight cars. Still whistling...
 * James: Help! Help!
 * George Carlin: Poor James disappeared.
 * Thomas: I like to teach those freight cars a lesson.
 * George Carlin: Said Thomas the Tank Engine.
 * (We hear an alarm ringing)
 * George Carlin: Soon came the alarm.
 * Signalman: James is off the line. The breakdown train quickly.
 * George Carlin: Thomas was coupled on and off they went. Thomas worked his hardest.
 * Thomas: Hurry, hurry, hurry!
 * George Carlin: He puffed. He wasn't pretending to be like Gordon. He really meant it.
 * Thomas: Bother those freight cars and their tricks. I hope poor James isn't hurt.
 * George Carlin: James' driver and fireman were feeling him all over to see if he was hurt.
 * (Cows mooing)
 * James' Driver and Fireman: Never mind James.
 * George Carlin: They said.
 * James' Driver and Fireman: It was those silly freight cars and your old wooden brakes that cause the accident.
 * George Carlin: Thomas pushed the breakdown train alongside. Then he pulled away the unhurt freight cars.
 * Freight Cars: Oh, dear. Oh, dear.
 * George Carlin: They groaned.
 * Thomas: Serves you right, serves you right.
 * George Carlin: Puffed Thomas. He was hard at work puffing backwards and forwards all afternoon.
 * Thomas: This'll teach you a lesson, this'll teach you a lesson.
 * George Carlin: He told the freight cars. And they answered...
 * Freight Cars: Yes it will, yes it will.
 * George Carlin: They left the broken cars. Then with two cranes they put James back on the rails.
 * (The cranes lift James away from the field. A surprised Thomas watches as James is put back to the rails)
 * George Carlin: He tried to move, but he couldn't so Thomas helped him back to the shed. Sir Topham Hatt was waiting anxiously for them.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Well, Thomas.
 * George Carlin: He said.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: I heard all about it and I'm very pleased with you. You're a really useful engine. James shall have some proper brakes and a new coat of paint and you shall have a branch line all to yourself.
 * Thomas: Oh thank you sir.
 * George Carlin: Said Thomas. Now Thomas is as happy as can be. He has a branch line and two coaches called Annie and Clarabel. He puffs proudly backwards and forwards with them all day. He is never lonely. Edward and Henry stop quite often and tell him the news. Gordon is always in a hurry but never forgets to say...
 * Gordon: Boop Boop.
 * George Carlin: And Thomas always whistles...
 * Thomas: Peep Peep.
 * George Carlin: In return.
 * (Thomas' whistle toots)
 * (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 Trouble In The Shed)
 * George Carlin: Sir Topham Hatt sat in his office listening to the noise outside. The passengers were angry. The stationmaster came in.
 * Stationmaster: There's trouble in the shed, sir. Henry was sulking. There's no train and the passengers are saying this is a bad railway.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Indeed.
 * George Carlin: Said Sir Topham Hatt.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: We cannot allow that.
 * George Carlin: He found Gordon, James and Henry looking very cross.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Come along, Henry. It's time your train was ready.
 * Gordon: Henry's not going!
 * George Carlin: Said Gordon.
 * Gordon: We won't shunt like little tank engines. That was Thomas' job. We are important tender engines. You fetch our coaches and we will pull them. Tender engines don't shunt.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: We'll see about that.
 * George Carlin: Said Sir Topham Hatt.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: No engine on my railway is too important for small jobs.
 * George Carlin: And he hurried away to find Edward.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: The yard has never been the same since Thomas left to run his branch line.
 * George Carlin: He thought sadly. Edward was shunting.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Leave those freight cars please, Edward.
 * George Carlin: Said Sir Topham Hatt.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: I want you to push coaches for me in the yard.
 * Edward: Thank you, sir. That will be a nice change.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: That's a good engine. Off you go then.
 * George Carlin: So Edward found coaches for the three engines and that day, the train's ran as usual. But next morning, Edward looked unhappy. Gordon came clanking pass hissing rudely.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Bless me!
 * George Carlin: Said Sir Topham Hatt.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: What a noise!
 * Edward: They all hissed me, Sir.
 * George Carlin: Answered Edward.
 * Edward: They say tender engines don't shunt and last night they said I have gray wheels. I haven't have I, sir?
 * Sir Topham Hatt: No Edward, you have nice blue ones, and I'm proud of you. Tender engines do shunt, but all the same we do need another tank engine here.
 * George Carlin: He went to the workshop and they showed them all sorts of engines. At last, he saw a smart little green engine with four wheels.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: That's the one.
 * George Carlin: He thought.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: If I choose you, will you work hard?
 * Percy: Oh sir, yes sir.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: That's a good engine. I'll call you Percy.
 * Percy: Yes sir, thank you sir.
 * George Carlin: And Sir Topham Hatt brought Percy back to the yard.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Edward.
 * George Carlin: He called.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Here's Percy. Will you show him everything?
 * George Carlin: Percy soon learned what he had to do and they had a happy afternoon. Then Henry came by hissing as usual.
 * Percy: Wheesh!
 * George Carlin: Went Percy. Henry jumped and ran back to the shed.
 * Edward: How beautifully you wheeshed him!
 * George Carlin: Laughed Edward.
 * Edward: I can't wheesh like that.
 * Percy: Oh.
 * George Carlin: Said Percy.
 * Percy: That's nothing. You should hear them in the workshop. You have to wheesh loudly to make yourself heard.
 * George Carlin: Next morning, Thomas arrived.
 * Thomas: Sir Topham Hatt sent to me. I expect he wants help.
 * George Carlin: He said to Edward.
 * Edward: Sh, sh, here he comes.
 * George Carlin: Replied Edward.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Well done, Thomas, you've been quick. Listen, Henry, Gordon and James are sulking. They say they won't shunt like little tank engines, so I have shut them up and I want you both to run a line for a while.
 * Thomas: Little tank engines indeed.
 * George Carlin: Snorted Thomas.
 * Thomas: We'll show them.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: And Percy will help too.
 * Percy: Oh sir, yes sir, please sir.
 * George Carlin: Answered Percy. Edward and Thomas worked the main line greeting each other as they pass by. Percy puffed along the branch line. Thomas was anxious about Annie and Clarabel, but both driver and conductor promise to take care of them. They were fewer trains but the passengers didn't mind. They knew the three other engines were having a lesson. Gordon, James and Henry were cold, lonely and miserable. They wish now they haven't been so silly.
 * (Another passing by sequence occurs and we begin Don't Judge A Book By Its Cover)
 * Children: (singing) Thomas first saw Terence the Tractor plowing in a field one day and he said, "My oh my, you do look funny. Where are your wheels, are your wheels, are your wheels? How ever do you move along? You really do look funny." "Don't be so rude", said Terence the Tractor "I don't have wheels like you Because my caterpillar tracks are so much better. And I can go anywhere, anywhere, anywhere I don't need rails like you. One day I will prove it, show you how I do it Then you will understand... That you don't judge a book by its cover Don't make your mind up too soon Things aren't necessarily Always what they appear to be Don't judge a book by its cover Don't make your mind up too soon Never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never Never judge a book by its cover Sure enough, one winter's day When the snow lay deep and hard Thomas got stuck, he was in trouble And who do you think came along, came along And rescued him that day The snow didn't matter to Terence the Tractor Now Thomas understands... That you don't judge a book by its cover Don't make your mind up too soon Things aren't necessarily Always what they appear to be Don't judge a book by its cover Don't make your mind up too soon Never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never Never judge a book by its cover. Don't judge a book by its cover Don't make your mind up too soon Things aren't necessarily Always what they appear to be. Don't judge a book by its cover Just remember the rule Never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never Never judge a book.... By its cover!
 * (Another passing by sequence occurs and we begin Trucks)
 * George Carlin: Every day when the little engines worked, the crisp air was suddenly filled with familiar noise. The lakes and mountains have many visitors, and Harold the Helicopter flies the sky, making sure that no one's in trouble.
 * Harold: All present and correct. Time to return to base.
 * George Carlin: Then Harold noticed something. A sturdy diesel was coming round the mountain. Harold flew lower for a closer inspection.
 * Harold: I'm Harold. Who are you?
 * Rusty: I'm Rusty.
 * George Carlin: Replied the diesel.
 * Harold: Don't recall seeing you before. What brings you this way?
 * Rusty: Sir Topham Hatt sent me to help the other engines.
 * George Carlin: Huffed Rusty. This was no time to chat with a helicopter.
 * Harold: Well done, cheers, and keep up the good work!
 * Rusty: Cheeky chopper.
 * George Carlin: Muttered Rusty.
 * Rusty's Driver: Not long now.
 * George Carlin: Encouraged the driver.
 * Rusty's Driver: We'll soon be at the top station.
 * George Carlin: Peter Sam and Sir Handel were glad to see Rusty. Even so, Sir Handel wouldn't stop grumbling. The cars didn't like Sir Handel and wanted to play tricks on him.
 * Gordon: No one understands our feelings.
 * George Carlin: Sympathized Gordon.
 * Gordon: Now if you were ill, you couldn't shunt cars, could you?
 * Sir Handel: Good idea.
 * George Carlin: Replied Sir Handel.
 * Sir Handel: I'll try it.
 * George Carlin: He did so next morning.
 * Sir Handel: I don't feel well.
 * George Carlin: He groaned. There wasn't time for examine him, so some of his cars were coupled behind Peter Sam's coaches. Rusty promised to followed with the rest. Peter Sam didn't mind the extra work. He left his coaches at the station and trundled cheerfully on. Soon they reached the quarry where the cars were needed. Empty cars at the bottom of a slope are hitched to a cable. Loaded ones at the top are hitched to another. By their weight, loaded cars were down the steep slope, pulling the empty ones up. Peter Sam doing waited at the bottom of a slope for the loaded cars. He never bumped cars unless they misbehave. But the loaded cars couldn't see him properly. They thought he was Sir Handel. They're chance for trickery had come.
 * Loaded Cars: Faster! Faster!
 * George Carlin: They yelled.
 * Empty Cars: No, no!
 * George Carlin: Wailed the empty cars.
 * Empty Cars: It's Peter Sam!
 * George Carlin: But it was no use.
 * Loaded Cars: Hurrah, hurrah!
 * George Carlin: Roared the cars. Peter Sam shut his eyes.
 * (The cars crash into Peter Sam, causing his funnel to be broken in the process)
 * Peter Sam: Peep! Peep!
 * George Carlin: Wailed Peter Sam. Rusty was working nearby and came to help clear out the mess.
 * Rusty: Bust my buffers!
 * George Carlin: Exclaimed Rusty.
 * Rusty: Never mind, Peter Sam. We'll get you out.
 * George Carlin: Peter Sam felt battered. His funnel was cracked and his boiler dented.
 * Peter Sam: Thank you, Rusty.
 * George Carlin: He sighed and limped slowly home.
 * Sir Handel: I'm sorry about your accident.
 * George Carlin: Said Sir Handel.
 * Sir Handel: I always stand well back. Cars don't like me.
 * Peter Sam: Why didn't you warn me?
 * Sir Handel: I didn't think.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: You never do. You can start thinking now while you're doing Peter Sam's work as well as your own. That'll teach you to pretend you were ill.
 * George Carlin: Sir Handel did start thinking about Gordon. When the wreckage was cleared away, Rusty set off along the line.
 * Harold: Splendid to see you again.
 * George Carlin: Whizzed Harold.
 * Harold: I've completing my evenings look about.
 * Rusty: Well done, cheers, and keep up the good work!
 * George Carlin: And the little diesel purred back home.
 * (Another passing by sequence occurs and we begin Night Train)
 * Children: (singing) See how the night sky glows, See the light from the night train, The fire glow from the night train. On down the line he blows... Woooooo-oooooo!!! On down the line he blows. All through the night he goes. Hear the sound of the night train, The chugga-chug-chugg of the night train. Hear how his whistle blows... Woooooo-oooooo!!! Hear how his whistle blows. Pulling, heaving, big engine breathing. Pistons pushing side by side. Driver checking, gauging, peering, Fireman stoking by his side. On down the line they go. Fast track for the mail train, Clear away for the post train. Non-stop all night they go... Woooooo-oooooo!!! Non-stop all night they go. See how the night sky glows. Clear ahead for the night train, Green light for the night train. On down the track he blows... Woooooo-oooooo!!! On down the track he blows. Dawn is breaking, sleepy town waking. Children waving, watch him go. Freight trains, milk trains, Boat trains waiting, Stand aside to let him go. There in the morning glow The sunlight on the night train, Silhouettes the night train. On down the line he blows... Woooooo-oooooo!!! There in the morning glow. On down the line he blows Hear the sound of the night train, The chugga-chug-chugg of the night train. Hear how his whistle blows... Woooooo-oooooo!!! Hear how his whistle blows. On down the line he blows, On down the line he blows.
