Transcript
Narrator: "Pongo the Dalmatian was grumbling to the other Disney Characters."

Pongo: "I spend my time pulling flowers about, ready for you to take out on journeys."

Narrator: "The other Disney Characters laughed."

Pongo: "Why can't I take passengers, too?"

Sir Ector: "You're too impatient."

Narrator: "They said."

Sir Ector: "You'd be sure to leave something behind."

Pongo: "Rubbish!"

Narrator: "Said Pongo."

Pongo: "I'll show you."

Narrator: "One night, he and Baloo were alone. Baloo was ill. The men worked hard, but he didn't get better.

He felt just as bad next morning. Baloo usually took the first passengers, and Pongo had to get his flowers ready."

Pongo: "If Baloo is ill,"

Narrator: "He thought."

Pongo: "Perhaps I shall take his flowers."

Narrator: "Pongo ran to find the flowers."

Pongo: "Come along, come along!"

Narrator: "He fussed."

Flowers: "There's plenty of time, there's plenty of time."

Narrator: "They grumbled.

Pongo took them to the platform, and wanted to run around in front at once.

But his driver wouldn't let him."

Pongo's Driver: "Don't be impatient, Pongo!"

Narrator: "Pongo waited and waited.

People got on board, the guard and stationmaster walked up and down, the porter secured the plants, and still, Baloo didn't come. Pongo got more and more excited.

Mickey Mouse came to see what was the matter, and the guard and the stationmaster told him about Baloo."

Mickey Mouse: "Find another Disney Character."

Narrator: "He ordered."

Guard and Stationmaster: "There's only Pongo."

Narrator: "They said."

Mickey Mouse: "You'll have to do it then, Pongo. Be quick now."

Narrator: "So Pongo ran round in front and backed down onto the flowers ready to start."

Pongo's Driver: "Don't be impatient, Pongo."

Narrator: "Said his driver."

Pongo's Driver: "Wait till everything is ready."

Narrator: "But Pongo was too excited to listen.

What happened then, nobody knows. Perhaps the first flower forgot to grab Pongo, or perhaps Pongo was given the signal by mistake. Anyhow, Pongo started. As they passed the first signal tower, men waved and shouted, but he didn't stop."

Pongo: "They're waving because I'm such a splendid dalmatian."

Narrator: "He thought importantly."

Pongo: "Baloo says it's hard to pull flowers, but I think it's easy.

Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Narrator: "He puffed, pretending to be like Sir Ector."

Pongo: "People have never seen me taking passengers before. It's nice of them to wave."

Narrator: "And he barked."

Pongo: "Ruff, ruff! Thank you."

Narrator: "Then he came to a signal at 'Danger'."

Pongo: "Bother!"

Narrator: "He said."

Pongo: "I must stop, and I was going so nicely, too! What a nuisance signals are."

Narrator: "He called out an angry bark.

The signalman ran up."

Signalman: "Hello, Pongo."

Narrator: "He said."

Signalman: "What are you doing here?"

Pongo: "I'm pulling flowers."

Narrator: "Said Pongo."

Pongo: "Can't you see?"

Signalman: "Where are your flowers, then?"

Narrator: "Pongo looked back."

Pongo: "Why, bless me!"

Narrator: "He said."

Pongo: "If we haven't left them behind!"

Signalman: "Yes."

Narrator: "Said the signalman."

Signalman: "You'd better go back quickly and fetch them."

Narrator: "Poor Pongo was so sad, he nearly cried.

Pongo's Driver: "Cheer up."

Narrator: "Said his driver."

Pongo's Driver: "Let's go back quickly and try again."

Narrator: "At the station, all the passengers were talking at once. They were telling Mickey what a bad place Disneyland was. But when Pongo came back, they saw how sad he was, and couldn't be cross.

He held on to the flowers, and this time he really pulled them.

But for a long time afterwards, the other Disney Characters laughed at Pongo and said,"

Baloo and Donald Duck: "Look, there's Pongo, who wanted to take some passengers, but forgot about the flowers!"
