### Terry and The Gremlin

* Alec Baldwin: Early one morning, Terry's body would not move.
* Firelighter: I don't know what's happening.
* Alec Baldwin: Sighed the firelighter.
* Firelighter: There must be gremlins about.
* Alex: What are gremlins?
* Alec Baldwin: Asked Alex.
* Ash: I've heard that they're little green men who play tricks.
* Alec Baldwin: Replied Ash.
* Alex: Can we find one?
* Raimundo: Pah!
* Alec Baldwin: Said Raimundo.
* Raimundo: Gremlins don't exist. They're just an excuse when things go wrong.
* Ash: If firelighter says there are gremlins, there are.
* Raimundo: Hah!
* Alec Baldwin: Snorted Raimundo. Steven had heard everything.
* Steven: Silence!
* Alec Baldwin: He said.
* Steven: I am expecting a VIP, a very important person for a day. She is heard that all my characters are really useful. Prove it to me please.
* Characters: Yes sir.
* Alec Baldwin: They all said.
* Alex: As long as the gremlins let us.
* Steven: What gremlins.
* Alex: The ones in Terry's body, sir, that's why he's not ready yet.
* Steven: I'll see about that.
* Alec Baldwin: Thundered Steven and he did.
* Steven: Terry, I suggest you'd be on your best behavior for a day. You'll be pulling the special coach from my special visitor. But no high speeds, please, she won't like that.
* Alec Baldwin: Terry was proud and pleased. He was waiting for his special coach when Alex puffed in with some Beedrill.
* Alex: What's the matter, Terry, you're late.
* Terry: Driver says there's gremlins in the turntables.
* Alec Baldwin: Replied Terry.
* Alex: They must be everywhere!
* Alec Baldwin: Squeaked Alex. At last, the turntable was repaired and Terry puffed away with the special coach. He was soon working hard to make up for lost time. After he arrived at the station, Steven became concerned.
* Steven: Where's Ash?
* Alec Baldwin: He wondered.
* Steven: He's supposed to be bringing my visitor to the docks.
* Terry: Hah!
* Alec Baldwin: Huffed Terry.
* Terry: Ash isn't really useful is he's late.
* Alec Baldwin: But it wasn't long before Ash arrived.
* Ash: (pants) I'm sorry.
* Alec Baldwin: He puffed.
* Ash: (pants) A cow strayed on the line and we had to wait for the farmer to take her away. But driver says your visitor is here safe and sound.
* Steven: Indeed she is.
* Alec Baldwin: Smiled Steven.
* Steven: How nice to see you.
* Alex: Who is it?
* Alec Baldwin: Whispered Alex.
* Ash: I don't know.
* Alec Baldwin: Replied Ash.
* Ash: But Steven is certainly keen to please her. He's a arranged a special party for her.
* Alex: She's got a dog as well.
* Alec Baldwin: Said Alex.
* Gremlin: (barks)
* Ash's Driver: Come on, Ash.
* Alec Baldwin: Said the Driver.
* Ash's Driver: You need a drink.
* Terry: Pah!
* Alec Baldwin: Puffed Terry.
* Terry: Ash is just a lazy little trainer. Steven is expecting us to arrive on time. We're late because of Ash.
* Alec Baldwin: Terry's driver decided to make up for lost track of time. Then, there was trouble.
* Terry's Driver: I think we need to slow down. This is an old line that could make things uncomfortable for the VIP.
* Alec Baldwin: And it did. She was taking a bath and the water was slopping all over the place.
* Ellen: (groans)
* Alec Baldwin: She cried. Terry was very relieved to reach his final destination where Ash was waiting to collect Steven and his special visitor. He blew an extra long whistle. This frightened the visitor's dog so much that he fled from the station running into a field where a bull was grazing.
* Bull: (roaring)
* Alec Baldwin: The bull frightened the little dog even more. He rushed back again onto the platform and over the bridge.
* Gremlin: (barking)
* Alec Baldwin: He didn't stop until he jumped straight into Ash's cab.
* Gremlin: (barks)
* Alec Baldwin: But he had a wonderful ride all the way to the docks.
* Ash's Fireman: What's the dog's name?
* Alec Baldwin: Asked the fireman.
* Ellen: Well, after today's events, I think I'll rename him Gremlin.
* Alec Baldwin: Steven chuckled.
* Steven: In that case, I've met one at last. (laughs)
* Ash: Excuse me, sir, but who is your very important visitor?
* Steven: Why didn't I tell you? This lady is my mother and she agrees with me. You are indeed really useful characters and my mother of course is always right. (laughs)

### Superman

* Children: (singing) Who do you call when the chips are down? When your back is against the wall. When there's no way out and time is running out and you're heading for a fall? High in the sky. Suddenly comes the hero. You can rely on him. Superman, pride of the skies. First to the rescue should help be required. Superman, brave is he. Courage is his name. So look to the skies, should danger arise. Look to the skies, for Superman will be there. He is a natural hero. He is guardian of the skies. And down through the years there are many tales of his courage in the skies. Out from the clouds. Suddenly comes the hero. We recognize that sound. Superman, pride of the skies. First to the rescue should help be required. Superman, brave is he. Courage is his name. So look to the skies, should danger arise. Reach for the sky, for Superman will be there. Superman, pride of the skies. First to the rescue should help be required. Superman, brave is he. Courage is his name. So look to the skies. See how he flies. You can rely, Superman will be there.

### Alex's Seaside Trip

* Children: (singing) The sun is shining, it's a lovely day. It won't be long before we're on our way. The guard is waiting, flag in hand. He blows his whistle, we're off to sea and sand. The sky is blue, there is no cloud in sight, So much excitement, didn't sleep all night. Now Alex's rushing trough the countryside, With people waving as we (peep peep) whistle by. Seaside, we're off to the seaside. Ice cream in cones, Candy floss on your nose. Seaside, we're off to the seaside, We're gonna have a lovely day. Just one more hill to climb and we'll be there. Sounds of the seaside start to fill the air. Then someone shouts out excitedly.
* Girl: "Look over there, everybody, I can see the sea!"
* Children: (singing) Seaside, we're off to the seaside, Buckets and spades, all the fairground arcades. Seaside, we're off to the seaside, We're gonna have a lovely day. And when it's cold in wintertime, Still you can be there any time. Just close your eyes, count 1-2-3, Dream your dream and once again be by the sea. Steven arrives to greet the train. He is so pleased that Alex's right on time. So much excitement, so much glee. We're all together with Alex by the sea. Seaside, we're all at the seaside, Building sandcastles with buckets and spades. Seaside, we're all at the seaside. Oh, what a lovely, lovely, day. Seaside, we're all at the seaside, Picnics and paddling, swimming all day. Seaside, we're all at the seaside, Oh, what a lovely, lovely day. Thank you, Alex, for such a lovely day. (cheering)

### Accidents Will Happen

* Children: (singing) Thrills and Spills on YTV, it's a life of happiness. But sometimes impatience just leads to carelessness.
* Boy: (singing) Some think they are smart cats...
* Girl: (singing) ...and some just know it all.
* Children: (singing) But sooner or later we all find out that... Accidents happen now and again. Just when you least expect. Just when you think that life is okay, fate comes to collect. Accidents happen now and again, when people or trains get smart. If you don't concentrate on the thing that you're doing. Accidents will happen just like that. Your best laid plans can turn upside down if you get to confident. Sometime you will slip and slide if that Lady Luck's intent.
* Girl: (singing) One minute you're riding high...
* Boy: (singing) ...the next you're on the ground.
* Children: (singing) But please remember, whatever the weather, you must take care cause... Accidents happen now and again, sometimes just by chance you gotta pick yourself up and dust yourself down put it down to experience. Accidents happen now and again, just don't take it all to heart. Cause if you don't concentrate on the thing that you're doing. Accidents will happen just like that. The warning signs are there for us to see most of the time. But sometimes we take chances, ignore the danger signs. Fate can surprise with no reason or rhyme. Make sure you'll learn your lesson. You'll know better next time. Accidents happen now and again. Just when you least expect. Just when you think that life is okay. Fate comes to collect. Accidents happen now and again, when people or trains get smart, if you don't concentrate on the thing that you're doing. Accidents will happen just like that. Accidents happen now and again. Sometimes just by chance. You gotta pick yourself up and dust yourself down put it down to experience. Accidents happen now and again, just don't take it all to heart.
* Girl: If you don't concentrate on the thing that you're doing whatever you're doing is not what you're thinking.
* Children: (singing) Accidents, incidents. Accidents, incidents, accidents happen just like that.

### Casey Helps Froggo

* George Carlin: Everyday, where the little characters work, the crisp air is suddenly filled with a familiar loudness. The lakes and mountains have many visitors, and Superman flies the sky, making sure that no one else is in trouble.
* Superman: All present and correct. Time to return to base.
* George Carlin: Then Superman noticed something. A sturdy diesel was coming round the mountain. Superman flew lower for a closer inspection.
* Superman: I'm Superman. Who are you?
* Casey: I'm Casey.
* George Carlin: Replied the diesel.
* Superman: Don't recall seeing another character before. What brings you this way?
* Casey: Steven sent me to help the other characters.
* George Carlin: Huffed Casey. This was no time to chat with a superhero.
* Superman: Well done, cheers, and keep up the good work!
* Casey: Silly thing.
* George Carlin: Spluttered Casey.
* Driver: Not that long now.
* George Carlin: Encouraged the driver.
* Driver: We'll soon be at the top station.
* George Carlin: Froggo and Gug were glad to see Casey. Even so, Gug wouldn't stop grumbling. The Beedrill didn't like Gug and wanted to play tricks on him.
* Terry: No one understands our feelings.
* George Carlin: Sympathized Terry.
* Terry: Now if you were ill, you couldn't shunt Beedrill, could you?
* Gug: Good idea.
* George Carlin: Replied Gug.
* Gug: I'll try it.
* George Carlin: He did so next morning.
* Gug: I don't feel well.
* George Carlin: He groaned. There wasn't time for examine him, so some of his Beedrill were coupled behind Froggo's coaches. Casey promised to followed with the rest. Froggo didn't mind the extra work. He left his coaches at the station and trundled cheerfully on. Soon they reached the quarry where the Beedrill were needed. Empty Beedrill at the bottom of a slope are hitched to a cable. Loaded ones at the top are hitched to another. By their weight, loaded Beedrill were down the steep slope, pulling the empty ones up. Froggo doing waited at the bottom of a slope for the loaded Beedrill. He never bumped Beedrill unless they misbehave. But the loaded Beedrill couldn't see him properly. They thought he was Gug. They're chance for trickery had come.
* Loaded Beedrill: Faster! Faster!
* George Carlin: They yelled.
* Empty Beedrill: No, no!
* George Carlin: Wailed the empty Beedrill.
* Empty Beedrill: It's Froggo!
* George Carlin: But it was no use.
* Loaded Beedrill: Hurrah, hurrah!
* George Carlin: Roared the Beedrill. Froggo shut his eyes.
* (The Beedrill crash into Froggo, causing his hat to be broken in the process)
* Froggo: Peep! Peep!
* George Carlin: Wailed Froggo. Casey was working nearby and came to help clear out the mess.
* Casey: Bust my buffers!
* George Carlin: Exclaimed Casey.
* Casey: Never mind, Froggo. We'll get you out.
* George Carlin: Froggo felt battered. His hat was cracked and his boiler dented.
* Froggo: Thank you, Casey.
* George Carlin: He sighed and limped slowly home.
* Gug: I'm sorry about your accident.
* George Carlin: Said Gug.
* Gug: I always stand well back. Beedrill don't like me.
* Froggo: Why didn't you warn me?
* Gug: I weren't thinking.
* Steven: You never did. You can start thinking now while you're doing Froggo's work as well as your own. That'll teach you to pretend you're feeling unwell.
* George Carlin: Gug did start thinking about Terry. When the wreckage was cleared away, Casey set off along the mountain line.
* Superman: Splendid seeing you again.
* George Carlin: Whizzed Superman.
* Superman: I've completing my evenings look about.
* Casey: Well done, cheers, and keep up the good work!
* George Carlin: And the little diesel purred back home.
