Toby's Triumph Transcript

Transcript

 * Michael Brandon: It was a beautiful autumn day on the Island of Sodor. It was time for the Harvest Festival. All the engines were busy. They puffed across the island with their Harvest Festival deliveries. Sir Topham Hatt came to Tidmouth with news of an exciting special. Alicia Botti was arriving to give an open-air concert at the picnic fields.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Toby and Henrietta, you are to collect Alicia Botti and take her from the airport to the picnic. Remember, Toby.
 * Michael Brandon: Boomed Sir Topham Hatt.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Miss Botti is a very special passenger. I am relying on you to do a very good job.
 * Michael Brandon: Thomas and Percy were excited for their friend, but Toby wasn't excited.
 * Toby: I've never taken a very special passenger before.
 * Michael Brandon: He wheeshed.
 * Thomas: You take passengers all the time.
 * Michael Brandon: Tooted Thomas.
 * Toby: But not very special ones.
 * Michael Brandon: Said Toby.
 * Toby: I'm worried I'll make a mistake.
 * Michael Brandon: As he and Henrietta were cleaned and polished, Toby was still worried. And later, when the refreshments lady laid out a very special tea, Toby worried even more. As Toby puffed out of Maron Station, he was so busy worrying he forgot to slow down. Toby took the bend too fast. Henrietta rocked this way and that. The tea was spilt. Then Toby made another mistake. He was still worrying. He didn't see the red signal until the very last moment. He screeched to a stop. Henrietta biffed into him. All the cakes fell onto the floor.Just then, Percy puffed passed pulling vegetables.
 * Percy: Hello, Percy.
 * Michael Brandon: He peeped happily. But Toby didn't hear him. He was too busy worrying about his very special passenger. Toby puffed under a bridge. The children waved. But Toby didn't see them. He was so busy worrying that he made another mistake. Toby took the wrong track. He rattled down an overgrown branch line. It was lumpy and bumpy, dusty and dirty. And the branches and bushes covered Toby and Henrietta in leaves. Thomas puffed by pulling freight cars of tomatoes.
 * Thomas: Hello, Toby.
 * Michael Brandon: He tooted.
 * Thomas: What's happened to you?
 * Michael Brandon: But Toby didn't hear him. He was still too busy worrying about his very special passenger. Toby picked up speed. He was so busy worrying he didn't notice the farmer waving from the fields. And he didn't notice the dip in the track. And the big mud puddle.
 * Elizabeth: Slow down.
 * Michael Brandon: Cried Elizabeth. But it was too late. Toby splashed through the puddle. Henrietta was covered from bumper to buffer in dark, brown mud. Toby arrived at the airport. When Alicia Botti saw Toby and Henrietta, she was very upset.
 * Alicia Botti: I can't arrive at a picnic on such a dirty train.
 * Michael Brandon: She cried.
 * Alicia Botti: What would my public say?
 * Michael Brandon: Toby was so worried, he didn't know what to do. If Alicia Botti wouldn't get into Henrietta, Toby couldn't take her to the picnic, and the concert would be cancelled. Alicia saw that Toby was very worried.
 * Alicia Botti: Don't worry.
 * Michael Brandon: She said.
 * Alicia Botti: A good clean is all you need.
 * Michael Brandon: So at last, Toby stopped worrying. Alicia carefully boarded Henrietta, and Toby steamed away to the wash-down.
 * Workman: Don't worry, Toby!
 * Michael Brandon: Cried the workman.
 * Workman: We'll soon have you sparkling like new.
 * Michael Brandon: They cheerfully got to work with buckets and brushes. Henrietta loved the foam and the fuss. Alicia Botti thought it was fun too.
 * Alicia Botti: I've never seen an engine have a bath before!
 * Michael Brandon: She cried.
 * Alicia Botti: How delightful!
 * Michael Brandon: Soon, the workmen were whistling, Alicia was singing, and the refreshments lady made another very special tea. Toby saw that nobody worried and nobody made a mistake. Everyone had fun. Before Toby knew it, it was time to go. Toby steamed towards the picnic fields. He came to a steep bend. Now he wasn't worried, and he didn't make a mistake. Toby remembered to slow down. He puffed perfectly round the bend. He wheeshed through Knapford Station while Alicia Botti enjoyed her very special tea. Toby was doing a splendid job. When the children called...
 * Children: Hello, Toby!
 * Michael Brandon: ...he rang his bell brightly. Toby wasn't worrying anymore. Toby carefully followed the tracks to the picnic fields. He took the right route and started to enjoy his journey. Even when he saw cows on the track, Toby didn't worry. Everyone helped clear the track.
 * Alicia Botti: Shoo, cows, shoo, shoo cows.
 * Michael Brandon: Sang Alicia Botti. And Toby joined in, ringing his bell. Soon the tracks were cleared and the cows were safely in their field. Toby puffed on his way. Toby stopped smoothly at the picnic. Everybody applauded. Alicia Botti was happy. And so was Sir Topham Hatt.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Toby, you have done a very good job.
 * Michael Brandon: He said. Toby was pleased. He wouldn't worry about taking special passengers ever again.
