Transcript
Narrator: "Noteworthy's visit to the Hoity Toity's town was coming to an end."

Hoity Toity: "We shall miss you."

Narrator: "Said Hoity Toity.

Then he turned his attention to all the other animals."

Hoity Toity: "My town is very busy, and I'm pleased with you, but... you need help. A centaur named Tirek is all that's available. Please do your best to avoid any... ahem, disturbances."

Soarin: "What does that mean?"

Narrator: "Whispered Soarin."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "That means this centaur is difficult!"

Narrator: "Snapped Cranky.

And he was.

Tirek surveyed the library."

Tirek: "Not bad. I've seen worse. At least you're all clean."

Narrator: "The animals glared."

Tirek: "It's not your fault, but Hoity Toity should get rid of you and get creatures like me. A drain of magic, and I'm off! No bother, no waiting. They have to fuss round you for hours before you're ready."

Narrator: "The animals were furious!

Next morning, they held an indignation meeting round the library."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Disgraceful!"

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Disgusting!"

Big Macintosh: "Despicable!"

Night Light and Hondo Flanks: "To say such thing to us!"

Narrator: "Cried Night Light and Hondo Flanks."

Night Light and Hondo Flanks: "It's to teach him a lesson we be wanting. Now, how do we do it?"

Narrator: "Their chance came sooner than expected. Tirek was purring comfortably.

An inspector watched a fitter making final adjustments. The wind tugged at the inspector's hat.

Tirek was ready."

Tirek: "Look at me, Soarin and Noteworthy! Now I'll show you something!"

Narrator: "He rolled proudly towards his buffaloes.

Then, it happened."

(Tirek splutters and coughs)

"Shaking and spluttering, Tirek stopped.

Meanwhile, the inspector was looking for his hat. Tirek seethed with fury as Soarin and Noteworthy pushed him back to the shed."

Railway Inspector: "My hat!"

Narrator: "Exclaimed the Inspector."

Railway Inspector: "You've sucked it in your mouth!"

Hoity Toity: "Bother your hat!

The heavy buffaloes are due out. You'll have to take them, Soarin. Noteworthy, will you help, please?"

Noteworthy: "Thank you, Sir."

Narrator: "Cried Noteworthy."

Noteworthy: "I'd like a good, long run on my last day."

Narrator: "The ponies were soon ready."

Hoity Toity: "Chief Thunderhooves will take over from halfway, so get the buffaloes to there. Good luck!"

Noteworthy: "Don't worry."

Narrator: "Smiled Noteworthy."

Noteworthy: "We'll get there, and be early, too!"

Narrator: "The cavalcade moved carefully on the path and out to the open road."

Noteworthy: "Now for a sprint!"

Narrator: "Puffed Noteworthy."

Soarin: "I'm ready when you are!"

Narrator: "Replied Soarin.

Soon, they were whizzing through Shining Armor's station, and next, they were charging at Chief Thunderhooves' hill beyond.

They felt the drag of the heavy buffaloes here. It was hard work.

At last, they were running smoothly along the line toward the big station."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Hello, you're early!"

Narrator: "Said Chief Thunderhooves."

Chief Thunderhooves: "That's one in the head for old Tirek!"

Noteworthy: "Cranky says he's sick as sludge and sulking in the shed."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Serves him right for saying we're out of date!"

Narrator: "And Chief Thunderhooves chortled away.

Next morning, everyone came to say good-bye to Noteworthy."

Animals: "Come back and see us soon!"

Narrator: "Whistled the animals."

Noteworthy: "And you are always welcome on my Music Route, too!"

Narrator: "Replied Noteworthy. Then, he puffed away.

What about Tirek? He'd slipped out while no one was looking. But he left two things behind; a rather nasty smell, and a battered bowler hat."
