Full Script

 * (Start of Transmission 12, we start with the Britt Allcroft Presents logo. Then, we start with the Thomas and Friends Season 5 intro, with Thomas, with Annie and Clarabel passing the windmill, as the "THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE & FRIENDS" logo appears. Then, the "BASED ON THE RAILWAY SERIES BY THE REV.W.AWDRY" logo appears, and then the "ADAPTATION BY BRITT ALLCROFT" logo. Then, we see Thomas passing under a bride, as the "THOMAS GETS BUMPED" title card appears. Finally, we see Thomas arriving at the last station, as the "TOLD BY GEORGE CARLIN" title card appears, and then the "DIRECTED BY DAVID MITTON" title card appears, then we start the first story.)
 * George Carlin: Every afternoon, Thomas the Tank Engine puffs along his branch line with Annie and Clarabel. First, they pass the water mill. Next, they come to a big farm. Then, they can see a bridge with a village nestled either side of it. This is a special place. Whenever children hear Thomas coming along, they stand on the bridge, waving until he is out of sight. One day, Thomas was running late. He had stopped at a red light before the bridge to talk to some new children. Percy the Green Engine was waiting, too.
 * Percy: Hurry up, Thomas.
 * George Carlin: Called Percy, when the signal dropped.
 * Percy: If you're late, Sir Topham Hatt might get a new engine to replace you.
 * Thomas: He would never do that!
 * George Carlin: Thought Thomas, but he was worried. Next day, Thomas hurried along the line. Just ahead was the goods yard. There, on the platform, was an inspector waving a red flag. Next, Thomas saw some children. They were waving, too.
 * Thomas: Something must be wrong.
 * George Carlin: Thought Thomas.
 * Thomas: This station is for goods, not passengers.
 * Children: Help, Thomas, help! We're glad to see you.
 * George Carlin: Called the children.
 * Children: Please, will you take us home?
 * George Carlin: The stationmaster explained to Thomas' driver that the school bus had broken down, and all the parents would be worried if the children were late. Thomas waited as the children walked down from the bridge. Then he took the children to the next station, where Bertie was waiting to take them home. When Thomas finished his journey, he was very late. He was worried that Sir Topham Hatt might be cross with him.
 * Percy: I warned Thomas.
 * George Carlin: Puffed Percy to James.
 * Percy: He's been late one time too many. He'll be in trouble now.
 * George Carlin: But next morning, when Thomas pick up his passengers, Sir Topham Hatt was nowhere to be seen.
 * (Thomas looks around and finds nothing)
 * Thomas: Thank goodness.
 * George Carlin: Sighed Thomas.
 * (Thomas sets off once more)
 * George Carlin: Thomas knows every part of his line. Just ahead was a stretch where the hot sun had bent the rails on the track.
 * Thomas' Driver: Careful, Thomas!
 * George Carlin: Called his driver. But it was too late.
 * (Thomas falls off the rails)
 * Thomas' Driver: That's done it!
 * George Carlin: Said his driver.
 * Thomas' Driver: We shan't get any further today!
 * Thomas: But what about my passengers?
 * George Carlin: Asked Thomas.
 * Thomas' Driver: Don't worry, they'll be looked after.
 * George Carlin: Replied his driver. While workmen repaired the line, Thomas had to shunt freight cars in the yard. Bertie came to see him.
 * Bertie: I understand you need my help again.
 * Thomas: Yes, Bertie.
 * George Carlin: Replied Thomas sadly.
 * Thomas: I can't run without my rails.
 * George Carlin: Bertie set off to collect Thomas' passengers.
 * (A sign saying: Sorry, No Trains appeared before Bertie met the passengers)
 * Passengers: Hello, Bertie.
 * George Carlin: They said.
 * Passengers: We're glad you're here.
 * George Carlin: Bertie drove along the road that runs by the railway. He stopped at each station along the line. Sometimes he stopped between stations to let people off closer to their homes. Thomas felt miserable.
 * Thomas: I've lost my passengers to Bertie. They'll like him better than me.
 * George Carlin: Sir Topham Hatt arrived.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Your branch line is repaired. I'm going to change your timetable so that you and Bertie can work together more.
 * George Carlin: When Thomas reached the station, there, to his relief, were all his passengers.
 * Passengers: Bertie is a good bus, but we missed our train rides with you.
 * George Carlin: They said. Later, Thomas spoke to Bertie.
 * Thomas: Thank you for looking after my passengers.
 * Bertie: That's all right, Thomas. I like to make new friends, but I'm glad to share them with you.
 * Thomas: You're a good friend, indeed.
 * George Carlin: Replied Thomas.
 * Thomas: And always will be.
 * (We see Thomas passing under a bridge, as the "THOMAS, PERCY & THE DRAGON" title card appears, thus starting the second story.)
 * George Carlin: Thomas and Percy are good friends, but sometimes Percy teases Thomas about being frightened and he doesn't like that at all. One evening he was dozing happily, but Percy wanted to talk.
 * Percy: Wake up, Thomas. Are you dreaming about the time you thought I was a ghost?
 * Thomas: Certainly not. Anyway, I was only pretending to be scared. I knew it was your really.
 * George Carlin: Percy went on teasing him.
 * Percy: I hope the guard leaves the light on for you tonight.
 * Thomas: Why?
 * George Carlin: Asked Thomas.
 * Thomas: I quite like the dark.
 * Percy: Oh really?
 * George Carlin: Explained Percy.
 * Percy: I am surprised. I'd always thought you were afraid of the dark. I wonder why?
 * George Carlin: Thomas decided to say nothing and went to sleep instead. Next day, Sir Topham Hatt came to see him.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: I would like you to go to the harbour tonight. You have to collect something rather unusual.
 * Thomas: What sort of something?
 * George Carlin: Asked Thomas.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Wait and see.
 * George Carlin: Replied Sir Topham Hatt. Meanwhile, Percy was moving some freight cars into a siding. Henry arrived with his goods train. The signalman changed the switches and Percy waited on the siding until Henry had steamed by. Then, there was trouble.
 * The Signalman: The switches are jammed.
 * George Carlin: Called the signalman.
 * The Signalman: I can't switch them back for Percy. The workmen will have to mend them in the morning. It's too late now.
 * Percy's Driver: Hmm.
 * George Carlin: Said Percy's Driver.
 * Percy's Driver: I'm sorry, Percy. But you will have to stay here tonight.
 * Percy: Where are you going?
 * George Carlin: Asked Percy.
 * Percy's Fireman: Home for tea.
 * George Carlin: Replied the fireman. Percy was speechless. He watched as the other engines went home to the shed. Nighttime came and Percy began to feel very lonely.
 * Percy: Oh dear.
 * George Carlin: He murmured.
 * Percy: It's very dark.
 * (A screeching noise can be heard)
 * Percy: OH! OH! What's that?!
 * George Carlin: It was only an owl, but Percy didn't realize this.
 * Percy: Oh, I wish Thomas was here too.
 * George Carlin: He sighed. Thomas was waiting for his mysterious load at the harbour. Suddenly, there is was.
 * (The Chinese Dragon appears)
 * Thomas: Cinders and Ashes!
 * George Carlin: Cried Thomas.
 * Thomas: It's a dragon!
 * Thomas's Driver: Don't worry.
 * George Carlin: Laughed his driver.
 * Thomas' Driver: This dragon is made of paper. It's for the carnival tomorrow.
 * George Carlin: Workmen lifted the dragon onto Thomas' load loader and put lights all around it for protection. Then, Thomas set off into the misty night. Percy was asleep on his siding and had no idea that Thomas was approaching him.
 * (Thomas and the dragon approach Percy and scare him)
 * George Carlin: Percy woke up with a start.
 * Percy: Help!
 * George Carlin: Cried Percy.
 * Percy: I'm not going to open my eyes until my driver comes.
 * George Carlin: Next morning the switches were mended and Percy puffed back to the junction. Gordon was just about to leave with the express.
 * Percy: You'll never guess what I saw last night.
 * George Carlin: Gordon was in no mood for puzzles.
 * Gordon: I'm a busy engine. I don't have time for your games.
 * Percy: I've seen a huge dragon. It was covered in lights.
 * George Carlin: Gordon snorted.
 * Gordon: You've been in the sun too long. Your dome has cracked.
 * George Carlin: When the other engines heard the news, they laughed too.
 * James: Look out, Percy!
 * George Carlin: Chuckled James.
 * James: Or the dragon may gobble you up!
 * Percy: No one believes me.
 * George Carlin: Huffed Percy.
 * Percy: Maybe I did imagine the dragon after all.
 * George Carlin: But Percy soon found out that he hadn't.
 * Percy: Help! Save me!
 * George Carlin: Cried Percy.
 * Thomas: It's alright.
 * George Carlin: Whistled Thomas. And, he explained about the carnival.
 * Thomas: By the way, how was your night out?
 * George Carlin: Percy decided to tell Thomas the truth.
 * Thomas: Well, Percy.
 * George Carlin: Said Thomas.
 * Thomas: Maybe we do get scared sometimes, but if we're not afraid to tell each other, then that means we're quite brave too.
 * (We see Thomas passing under a bridge, as the "DIESEL DOES IT AGAIN" title card appears, thus starting the third story.)
 * George Carlin: Duck and Percy enjoy their work in the harbour, pulling and pushing freight cars full of cargo to and from the quay. But one morning, the engines were exhausted. The harbour was busier than ever. Sir Topham Hatt promised that another engine would be found to help them.
 * Percy: Huh! It's about time.
 * George Carlin: Said Percy.
 * Duck: I ached so much I can hardly get my wheels to move.
 * George Carlin: Agreed Duck. They waited for the engine to arrive. It came as a shock when he did.
 * Diesel: Good morning.
 * George Carlin: Squirmed Diesel in his oily voice. The two engines had not work with Diesel for a long time.
 * Duck: What are you doing here?
 * George Carlin: Gasped Duck.
 * Diesel: Your worth Top, ah, Sir Topham Hatt sent me. I hope you are please to see me again. I have to shunt some dreadful tiresome cars.
 * Percy: Shunt where?
 * George Carlin: Said Percy suspiciously.
 * Diesel: Where? Why from here to there.
 * George Carlin: Purred Diesel.
 * Diesel: And then again from there to here. Easy, isn't it?
 * George Carlin: With that, Diesel, as if to make himself quiet clear, bumped some cars hard.
 * Freight Cars: Ooooh!
 * George Carlin: Screamed the cars.
 * Diesel: (growling)
 * George Carlin: Growled Diesel. Percy and Duck were horrified. They did not trust Diesel at all. They refuse to work and did not leave their shed. Sir Topham Hatt was enjoy his tea and iced bun when the telephone rang.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: So there's trouble in the harbour yard? I'll be there right away.
 * George Carlin: Diesel was working loudly and alone. Cargo lay on the quay. Ships and passengers were delayed. Everyone was complaining about Sir Topham Hatt's railway. Percy and Duck were sulking in their shed.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: What's all this?
 * George Carlin: Demanded Sir Topham Hatt.
 * Percy: We're on strike, sir.
 * George Carlin: Said Percy nervously.
 * Duck: Yes.
 * George Carlin: Added Duck.
 * Duck: Beg pardon, sir, but we don't work with Diesel, sir. You said you sent him packing, sir.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: I have to give Diesel a second chance.
 * George Carlin: Replied Sir Topham Hatt.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: I'm trying to help you by bringing Diesel here. Now you must help me he is the only engine available.
 * George Carlin: Percy and Duck went sadly back to work. Next day, things were no better. Diesel's driver did not put on his brakes on properly and Diesel started to move. He went bump straight into Percy.
 * Diesel: Wake up there, Percy.
 * George Carlin: Scowled Diesel.
 * Diesel: You have work to do.
 * George Carlin: He didn't even say he was sorry to Percy. Later, Diesel bumped the cars so hard that the loads went everywhere.
 * Percy: What will Sir Topham Hatt say?
 * George Carlin: Gasped Percy.
 * Duck: He won't like it.
 * George Carlin: Said Duck.
 * Diesel: So who's going to tell him, I wonder? Two goody-goody tattle-tales like you, I suppose.
 * George Carlin: Percy and Duck did not wanna be tattle-tales, so they said nothing. Diesel, thinking he can getting away from his bad behavior, was ruder than ever. Next day, he was shunting freight cars full of China Clay. He banged the cars hard into the buffers, but the buffers weren't secure. The silly cars were sunk. Sir Topham Hatt heard the news. The cars were hoisted safely from the sea, but the clay was lost. Sir Topham Hatt spoke severely to Diesel.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: The harbor master has told me anything. Things worked much better here before you arrived. I shall not be inviting you back. Now, Duck and Percy, I hope you don't mind having handle the work by yourselves again.
 * Percy: Oh no, Sir.
 * Duck: Yes, please, Sir.
 * George Carlin: Replied the engines. Whistling cheerfully, they puffed back to work while Diesel sulked slowly away.
