## Script

### Ash Gets Tricked

* George Carlin: Ash is a Pokemon Trainer who lives at a big station on the land of Cartoons. He's a cheeky little trainer with black and white shoes, a red cap, a black hair and blue jeans. He's a fussy little character too. Always pulling coaches about ready for the big characters can take on long journeys. And when trains come in, he pulls the empty coaches away so that the big characters can go on rest. Ash thinks no character works has hard as he does. He loves playing tricks on them, including Hayato the biggest and proudest character of all. Ash likes to tease Hayato with his whistle.
* Ash: Wake up, lazybones. Why don't you work hard like me?
* George Carlin: One day after pulling the big express, Hayato had arrived back on the sidings very tired. He was just going to sleep when Ash came up in his cheeky way.
* Ash: Wake up, lazybones. Do some hard work for a change. You can't catch me!
* George Carlin: And off he ran laughing. Instead of going to sleep again, Hayato thought how he can back at Ash. One morning, Ash wouldn't wake up. His driver and fireman couldn't make him start. His fire went out and there was not enough steam. It was nearly time for the express. People are waiting, but the coaches weren't ready. At last, Ash started.
* Ash: Oh dear, oh dear!
* George Carlin: He yawned. He fussed into the station where Hayato was waiting.
* Hayato: Hurry up, you!
* George Carlin: Said Hayato.
* Ash: Hurry up yourself.
* George Carlin: Replied Ash. Hayato the proud character began making his plan to teach Ash a lesson for teasing him. Almost before the coaches had stopped moving, Hayato reversed quickly and was coupled to the train.
* Hayato: Get in quickly, please!
* George Carlin: He whistled. Ash usually pushed behind the big trains to help them start, but he was always uncoupled first. This time, Hayato started so quickly they forgot to uncouple Ash. Hayato's chance had come.
* Hayato: Come on, come on!
* George Carlin: Puffed Hayato to the coaches. The train went faster and faster. Too fast for Ash, he wanted to stop, but he couldn't.
* Ash: Peep peep! Stop, stop!
* Hayato: Hurry, hurry, hurry!
* George Carlin: Laughed Hayato.
* Coaches: You can't get away, you can't get away!
* George Carlin: Laughed the coaches. Poor Ash was going faster than he had ever gone before. He was out of breath and his feet hurt him, but he had to go on.
* Ash: I shall never be the same again.
* George Carlin: He thought sadly.
* Ash: My feet will be quite worn out.
* George Carlin: At last, they stopped at the station. Ash was uncoupled and he felt very silly and exhausted. Next he went on to the turntable thinking of everyone laughing at him. And then he ran on to a siding out of the way.
* Hayato: Well, little Ash.
* George Carlin: Chuckled Hayato.
* Hayato: Now you know what hard work means, don't you?
* George Carlin: Poor Ash couldn't answer. He had no breath. He just puffed slowly away to rest and had a long long drink.
* Ash: Maybe I don't have to tease Hayato to feel important.
* George Carlin: Ash thought to himself. And he puffed slowly home.

### Al Learns A Lesson

* George Carlin: Al was enjoying his life on the land of Cartoons, but he still had a lot to learn.
* Ryu: You're a special mixed traffic character.
* George Carlin: Said Ryu Hoshi.
* Ryu: You can pull Arcanine or Beedrill quite easily, but you must learn by your mistakes.
* George Carlin: Al knew what Ryu Hoshi meant. He could well remember that dreadful accident on his first day.
* Jackie: Be careful with the coaches, Al.
* George Carlin: Said kind little Jackie.
* Jackie: They don't like being bumped.
* George Carlin: Everyone came to admire Al.
* Al: I'm really a splendid character.
* George Carlin: He thought and suddenly let off steam.
* Al: Wheesh!
* George Carlin: A shower of water fell on Ryu's nice new top hat. Just then, the conductor blew his whistle and Al thought they had better go.
* Al: Go on, go on!
* George Carlin: He puffed to Jackie.
* Jackie: Don't push, don't push!
* George Carlin: Puffed Kevin. The Arcanine were grumbling too.
* Arcanine: Don't go so fast, don't go so fast!
* George Carlin: But Al wouldn't listen. When at last they stopped at the next station two Arcanine were beyond the platform. They have to go back to let the passengers out. But no one seems to know about Ryu's new hat so Al felt happier. Presently they came to the station where Ash was waiting with his two girls.
* Ash: Hello, Al.
* George Carlin: Said Ash.
* Ash: Feeling better? That's right. Oh, that's my conductor's whistle. I must go. I don't know what Ryu Hoshi to do without me to run this branch line.
* George Carlin: And he puffed off importantly. Jackie and Al passed the field where Al had had his accident. The fences were mended and the cows were back again. They ended their journey and rested before setting off for home. Al was still wondering what Ryu would have to say about his new hat. Next morning, he spoke severely to Al.
* Ryu: If you can't behave, I shall take away your red coat and have you painted blue.
* George Carlin: Al didn't like that at all. He was very rough with the grumbling Arcanine as he brought them to the platform.
* Al: Don't talk, come on! Hayato never fetches his own Arcanine.
* George Carlin: He thought to himself.
* Al: And he's only painted blue.
* George Carlin: To make Al even more cross, this time no one came near him.
* Al: I'll show them.
* George Carlin: He thought.
* Al: They thought Hayato is the only character who can pull Arcanine. Hurry, hurry, hurry!
* George Carlin: Puffed Al.
* Arcanine: You're going too fast, you're going to fast!
* George Carlin: Replied the Arcanine. Al laughed and tried to go faster, but the Arcanine wouldn't let him.
* Arcanine: We're going to stop! We're going to stop!
* Al: What's the matter?
* George Carlin: Al asked his driver.
* Driver: The brakes were on, leak in the pipe most likely. You banged the Arcanine enough to make a leak in anything.
* Conductor: How should we mend it?
* George Carlin: Asked the conductor.
* Driver: We'll do it with newspaper and a leather bootlace.
* George Carlin: Replied the driver.
* Conductor: Well, where's the bootlace coming from?
* George Carlin: Asked the conductor.
* Driver: Ask the passengers.
* George Carlin: Said the driver.
* Conductor: You have a leather bootlace there.
* George Carlin: Said the Conductor to a smartly dressed man.
* Conductor: Please give it to me.
* Man: I won't.
* Conductor: Then I'm afraid the train will just stop where it is.
* George Carlin: The passengers all said what a bad railway it was. Then they told the man how bad he was instead. Everyone was very cross. At last, he handed his laces over. The driver tied a pad of newspapers tightly round the hole in the brake pipe, and Al was able to pull the train. But he was a sadder and wiser Al, and took care never to bump Arcanine again.

### Characters and Turntables

* George Carlin: Shaggy and Hayato were lonely when Ash left the yard to run his route. They missed him very much. They had more work to do and had to fetch their own Arcanine. The big characters thought they were too important to fetch Arcanine. Al grumbled, too.
* Shaggy: We get no rest, we get no rest!
* George Carlin: They all complained. But the coaches only laughed.
* Coaches: You're lazy and slack, you're lazy and slack!
* George Carlin: They answered. All together, the characters were causing Ryu Hoshi a great deal of trouble. The big stations both ends on the line each have a turntable. Ryu Hoshi had made them so that the tender characters can be turned round because it is dangerous for them to go fast and backwards. Little characters like Ash don't need turntables. They can go just as well backwards as forwards. But to hear Hayato talk, he would've thought that Ryu Hoshi had given him a tender just to show how important he was.
* Hayato: You don't understand, little Ash. We Big Characters have a position to keep up. It doesn't matter where you go, but we are important, and for Ryu Hoshi to make us to shunting, fetch coaches and go on some of those dirty sidings it's, it's, well, it's not the proper thing.
* George Carlin: Ash chuckled and went off with Jenny and Jewels.
* Hayato: Disgraceful!
* George Carlin: Hayato hissed as he ran backwards to the turntable. The turntable was in the windy place close to the sea, and he was not on it just right, he put amount of balance and made a difficult to turn. Today, Hayato was in the bad temper, and the wind was blowing fiercely. His driver tried to make him stop in the right place but Hayato wasn't trying. The fireman tried to turn the handle, but Hayato's weight and the strong wind prevented him.
* Driver: It's no good.
* George Carlin: They said at last.
* Driver: Your big tender upsets the balance. If you're a little character, you be all right. Now you have to pull the next train backwards.
* Boys: Look!
* George Carlin: Called some boys.
* Boys: There's a new character! Oh, it's only Hayato, back to front.
* Ash: Hello!
* George Carlin: Called Ash.
* Ash: Playing little characters? Sensible character. Take my advice, scrap your tender and have a nice bunker.
* George Carlin: Hayato said nothing. Even Al laughed when he saw him.
* Hayato: Take care.
* George Carlin: Hissed Hayato.
* Hayato: You might stick too.
* Al: No fear.
* George Carlin: Chuckled Al.
* Al: I'm not so fat as you. I mustn't stick.
* George Carlin: Thought Al. He stopped on just the right place to balance the table. It could now swing easily. Hayato arrived and time to see everything. Al turned much too easily. The wind puffed him round like a top. He couldn't stop!
* (Al spins faster and faster until he slows down, and as the turntable stops, he is all green and dizzy)
* Hayato: Well, well!
* George Carlin: Said Hayato.
* Hayato: Are you playing roundabouts?
* George Carlin: Poor Al feeling quite giddy rolled off to the shed without a word. That night, the three characters had an indignation meeting.
* Hayato: It's shameful to treat tender characters like this. Hayato has to go backwards and people think he's a tank character, Al spins like a top and everyone laughs at us. And to add to that, Ryu Hoshi makes us all shunt in dirty sidings. Ugh! Listen.
* George Carlin: Said Hayato. He whispered something to the others.
* Hayato: We'll do it tomorrow. Ryu Hoshi will look silly.
* George Carlin: The characters had decided to go on strike.

### Ash Breaks The Rules

* George Carlin: There's a path to a quarry at the end of Ash's route. It goes to some distance along the road. Ash was very careful to whistle here in case anyone was coming. Early one morning, a large policeman was sitting close to the line. Ash liked policemen. He had been a great friend of the officer who had just retired.
* Ash: Peep! Peep!
* George Carlin: He whistled.
* Ash: Good morning.
* George Carlin: Ash expected that the new officer would be friendly too. But was sorry to see that he didn't look friendly at all. He was red in the face and very cross.
* Policeman: Disgraceful!
* George Carlin: He spluttered.
* Policeman: I didn't sleep a wink last night. It was so quiet, and now trainers come whistling suddenly behind me.
* Ash: I'm sorry, sir.
* George Carlin: Said Ash.
* Ash: I only said good morning.
* George Carlin: The policeman pointed to Ash.
* Policeman: Where's your cowcatchers?
* George Carlin: He asked.
* Ash: But I don't catch cows, sir.
* Policeman: Don't be funny.
* George Carlin: Snapped the policeman. He looked at Ash's shoes.
* Policeman: No side plates either.
* George Carlin: And he wrote in his notebook.
* Policeman: Trainers going on public roads must have their shoes covered and a cowcatcher in front to protect people and animals from being dragged under the shoes if they stray under the line. You haven't so you are dangerous.
* Driver: Rubbish.
* George Carlin: Said Ash's driver.
* Driver: We've been along here hundreds of times and never had an accident.
* Policeman: That makes it worse.
* George Carlin: The policeman answered. He wrote Regular Law Breaker in his book. Ash puffed sadly away. Ryu Hoshi was having breakfast he was eating toast and marmalade. The butler came in.
* Butler: Excuse me, sir, you're wanted on the telephone.
* Ryu: Bother that telephone!
* George Carlin: Said Ryu Hoshi.
* (Phone chattering)
* Ryu: I'm sorry, my dear.
* George Carlin: He said to his wife.
* Ryu: Ash is in trouble with the police and I must go at once.
* George Carlin: At the station, Ash's driver told Ryu Hoshi what had happened.
* Ryu: Dangerous to the public indeed. We'll see about that.
* George Carlin: Ryu spoke to the policeman. But however much he argued with him it was no good.
* Policeman: The law is the law.
* George Carlin: He said.
* Policeman: And we can't change it.
* George Carlin: Ryu Hoshi felt exhausted.
* Ryu: I'm sorry, driver.
* George Carlin: He said.
* Ryu: It's no use arguing with the policeman. We will have to make those cowcatcher things for Ash I suppose.
* Ash: Everyone will laugh, sir.
* George Carlin: Said Ash.
* Ash: They say I look like a Beyblader character.
* George Carlin: Ryu Hoshi stared, then he laughed.
* Ryu: Well done, Ash. Why didn't I think of it before? We need a Beyblader character. When I was on my holiday, I met a nice little character called Tyson. He takes Beedrill from the farms but the trucks have taken most of his work and he needs a change. He has black hair and blue eyes. I'll write to this superintendent at once.
* George Carlin: A few days later, Tyson arrived.
* Ryu: That's a good character.
* George Carlin: Said Ryu Hoshi.
* Ryu: I see you brought your partner Hilary.
* Tyson: You don't mind, do you, sir?
* George Carlin: Asked Tyson.
* Tyson: The stationmaster wanted to use her as a Cat Pen, and that would never do.
* Ryu: No indeed.
* George Carlin: Said Ryu Hoshi.
* Ryu: We couldn't allow that.
* George Carlin: Tyson made the silly Beedrill behave even better than Ash did.
* Policeman: Hey you!
* George Carlin: At first, Ash was jealous, but he was so pleased when Tyson rang his bell and frightened the policeman, they've been firmed friends ever since.

### Better Late Than Never

* George Carlin: The characters were finding life difficult. Workmen were mending the viaduct on the main line. The arches needed strengthening. Ryu Hoshi did not want to close the railway while the work was done and so repairs took a long time. The characters have to take great care when crossing the viaduct and the delay often made them late on their journey to the junction where they knew Ash would be ready to collect his passengers. Ash grew crosser and crosser.
* Ash: Time's time.
* George Carlin: He grumbled.
* Ash: Why should I keep my passengers waiting while Shaggy and Al dawdle about all day on viaducts?
* Shaggy: Don't blame me.
* George Carlin: Snorted Shaggy.
* Shaggy: If we hurried to cross the viaduct, it might collapsed, and then you have no passengers at all. What would you do then?
* Ash: Run my train on time for one thing.
* George Carlin: Retorted Ash. He hurried away before Shaggy could answer. Sonic was impatient too. He was time to arrived just after Ash. His passengers found that, instead of going straight from the hedgehog till their train, they were kept waiting till Ash arrived. Soon Sonic grew cross with Ash.
* Sonic: Late again!
* George Carlin: He remarked as Ash panted wearily in.
* Sonic: We may be friends, but I thought you could go fast, Ash. It's time we had another race. I reckon I can beat you now.
* George Carlin: Ash let off steam loudly.
* Ash: Rubbish!
* George Carlin: He hissed fiercely.
* Ash: It's those main line characters. They differ about on the viaduct, and they blamed Ryu Hoshi workmen. It's just an excuse for laziness if you ask me.
* George Carlin: One day, Al was later than ever at the junction.
* Al: I'm sorry, Ash.
* George Carlin: He puffed.
* Al: I was held up at the station, and the viaduct made it worse.
* Ash: It's lucky for you I'm a guarantee connection.
* George Carlin: Grumbled Ash. Before Al could answer, he puffed importantly away.
* Ash: Come along, come along!
* George Carlin: He panted to the ladies. Toni and Mika did their best but Ash still found that he couldn't save much time. Suddenly, Ash saw Sonic ahead. His radiator was steaming.
* Ash: What's the matter?
* George Carlin: Asked Ash.
* Ash: You should be at the station by now. You're late.
* Sonic: I feel dreadful.
* George Carlin: Moaned Sonic.
* Sonic: All upset inside and driver says he can't make me better. Thank goodness you're late too. Can you take my passengers please? They'll never get home otherwise.
* Ash: Of course.
* George Carlin: Agreed Ash. He now felt sorry for Sonic, and promised to get help at the next station. Ash set off again already he felt much more cheerful and Sonic's passengers, travelling in Toni and Mika all reached home safely. When Sonic was better he came to thank Ash.
* Sonic: I'm sorry I teased you about being late.
* Ash: That's all right.
* George Carlin: Replied Ash.
* Ash: I'm glad I can help. There are times when being late isn't such a bad thing after all.
* George Carlin: With the last cheerful greeting, the two friends went back to work.

### Trust Ash

* George Carlin: Ash Ketchum was feeling bright and cheerful. It was a splendid day.
* Ash: Good morning.
* George Carlin: He whistled to some cows, but the cows didn't reply.
* Ash: Never mind.
* George Carlin: Said Ash.
* Ash: They're busy with their breakfast.
* George Carlin: Next he saw Sonic.
* Ash: Hello, Sonic. Care for a race today?
* George Carlin: But all Sonic could say was...
* Sonic: Ouch! That's another hole in the road!
* Ash: I'm sorry, Sonic.
* George Carlin: Smiled Ash. Ash was still in good spirits when Sonic arrived at the next station.
* Ash: Bad luck, Sonic. Now if you're a steam character, you would run a repair on reliable rails.
* Sonic: Huh!
* George Carlin: Replied Sonic.
* Sonic: The railway was suppose to deliver the tar to mend the road two weeks ago. You can't trust a thing that runs on rails.
* Ash: I run on rails. You can trust me, Sonic. I'll see if I can find out what's happened.
* George Carlin: And Ash puffed away towards the big station. Al was snorting about in the yard.
* Al: It's too bad!
* George Carlin: He grumbled.
* Al: Ritchie goes to work at the harbour and I do his job, here, there and everywhere! Take that!
* Beedrill: Ooh!
* George Carlin: Groaned the Beedrill.
* Beedrill: Just you wait, we'll show you!
* George Carlin: Hayato laughed.
* Hayato: I'll tell you what, Al. If you pretended to be ill everywhere, you couldn't shunt Beedrill here, or go to the quarry there, could you?
* Al: What a good idea.
* George Carlin: Agreed Al.
* Al: Look, here comes Ash. I'll start pretending now
* George Carlin: Ash was sorry to see the characters looking miserable
* Ash: Cheer up.
* George Carlin: He puffed.
* Ash: It's a beautiful day.
* Hayato: Yes.
* George Carlin: Grumbled Hayato.
* Hayato: But not for Al.
* Ash: What's the matter?
* George Carlin: Asked Ash.
* Hayato: He's sick.
* George Carlin: Replied Hayato.
* Al: Yes he is. I mean I am.
* George Carlin: Stuttered Al.
* Al: I don't feel well at all.
* Ash: Don't worry.
* George Carlin: Said Ash kindly.
* Ash: I'll help out if you're ill.
* George Carlin: Hayato and Al sniggered quietly to each other. Some of Al's Beedrill were coupled behind Ash and he steamed away to the quarry. The Beedrill were still cross.
* Beedrill: We couldn't pay Al back for bumping us, so we'll play tricks on Ash instead. One character is as good as another.
* George Carlin: But Ash didn't hear them. He collected all the stone from the quarry and set off back to the junction. Danger lay ahead.
* Beedrill: Now for our plan!
* George Carlin: Giggled the Beedrill.
* Beedrill: Go faster, go faster!
* George Carlin: They pushed Ash over the switches.
* Ash's Driver: Slow down!
* George Carlin: Called Ash's driver and applied the brakes.
* (Ash hits the buffers, and a log snaps apart, sending him floating into another set of buffers)
* George Carlin: Poor Ash stood dazed and surprised in the muddy pool, as a toad eyed in suspiciously.
* Ash: Bust my buffers.
* George Carlin: Muttered Ash.
* Ash: The day started so well too.
* George Carlin: Tai pulled away the Beedrill, and Jackie helped Ash back to the junction. Suddenly, Ash remembered the missing tar. He told Jackie all about it.
* Jackie: That's strange.
* George Carlin: Said Jackie.
* Jackie: A car full of tar been left in my station. That must be it. Driver will make sure it gets to Sonic now.
* George Carlin: Later, Al spoke to Ash.
* Al: I'm sorry about your accident.
* George Carlin: He muttered.
* Al: And so is Hayato. We didn't mean to get you into trouble.
* Hayato: No indeed.
* George Carlin: Spluttered Hayato.
* Hayato: A near misunderstanding, Ash, all's well that ends well.
* George Carlin: Just then Sonic arrived. He looked much more cheerful.
* Sonic: My road's being mended now.
* Ash: Oh, I am glad.
* George Carlin: Replied Ash.
* Sonic: Thanks for all you did.
* George Carlin: Added Sonic.
* Sonic: Now I know I can trust a character especially his name was Ash.
* George Carlin: Hayato and Al puffed silently away to the shed, but Ash still had company.
* Ash: Well, well.
* George Carlin: He sighed.
* Ash: What a day for surprises.
* George Carlin: The toad who was looking forward to arrive home noisly agreed.

### Ash Gets Bumped

* George Carlin: Every afternoon, Ash Ketchum walks along his route with Toni and Mika. 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 Ash coming along, they stand on the bridge, waving until he is out of sight. One day, Ash was running late. He had stopped at a red light before the bridge to talk to some new children. Ritchie the Kanto kid was waiting too.
* Ritchie: Hurry up, Ash.
* George Carlin: Called Ritchie when the signal dropped.
* Ritchie: If you're late, Ryu Hoshi might get a new character to replace you.
* Ash: He would never do that!
* George Carlin: Thought Ash, but he was worried. Next day, Ash hurried along the line. Just ahead was the goods yard. There, on the platform, was an inspector waving a red flag. Next, Ash saw some children. They were waving, too.
* Ash: Something must be wrong.
* George Carlin: Thought Ash.
* Ash: This station is for goods, not passengers.
* Children: Help, Ash, 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 Ash's driver that the school bus had broken down, and all the parents would be worried if the children were late. Ash waited as the children walked down from the bridge. Then he took the children to the next station, where Sonic was waiting to take them home. When Ash finished his journey, he was very late. He was worried that Ryu Hoshi might be cross with him.
* Ritchie: I warned Ash.
* George Carlin: Puffed Ritchie to Al.
* Ritchie: He's been late one time too many. He'll be in trouble now.
* George Carlin: But next morning, when Ash pick up his passengers, Ryu Hoshi was nowhere to be seen.
* (Ash looks around and finds nothing)
* Ash: Thank goodness.
* George Carlin: Sighed Ash. Ash knows every part of his line. Just ahead was a stretch where the hot sun had bent the rails on the track.
* Driver: Careful, Ash!
* George Carlin: Called his driver. But it was too late.
* (Ash falls off the rails)
* Driver: That's done it!
* George Carlin: Said his driver.
* Driver: We shan't get any further today!
* Ash: But what about my passengers?
* George Carlin: Asked Ash.
* Driver: Don't worry, they'll be looked after.
* George Carlin: Replied his driver. While workmen repaired the line, Ash had to shunt Beedrill in the yard. Sonic came to see him.
* Sonic: I understand you need my help again.
* Ash: Yes, Sonic.
* George Carlin: Replied Ash sadly.
* Ash: I can't run without my rails.
* George Carlin: Sonic set off to collect Ash's passengers.
* Passengers: Hello, Sonic.
* George Carlin: They said.
* Passengers: We're glad you're here.
* George Carlin: Sonic 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. Ash felt miserable.
* Ash: I've lost my passengers to Sonic. They'll like him better than me.
* George Carlin: Ryu Hoshi arrived.
* Ryu: Your branch line is repaired. I'm going to change your timetable so that you and Sonic can work together more.
* George Carlin: When Ash reached the station, there, to his relief, were all his passengers.
* Passengers: Sonic is a good hedgehog, but we missed our train rides with you.
* George Carlin: They said. Later, Ash spoke to Sonic.
* Ash: Thank you for looking after my passengers.
* Sonic: That's all right, Ash. I like to make new friends, but I'm glad to share them with you.
* Ash: You're a good friend, indeed.
* George Carlin: Replied Ash.
* Ash: And always will be.

### Ash, Ritchie and The Dragon

* George Carlin: Ash and Ritchie are good friends, but sometimes, Ritchie teases Ash about being frightened and he doesn't like that at all. One evening, he was dozing happily, but Ritchie wanted to talk.
* Ritchie: Wake up, Ash. Are you dreaming about the time you thought I was a ghost?
* Ash: Certainly not. Anyway, I was only pretending to be scared. I knew it was your really.
* George Carlin: Ritchie went on teasing him.
* Ritchie: I hope the guard leaves the light on for you tonight.
* Ash: Why?
* George Carlin: Asked Ash.
* Ash: I quite like the dark.
* Ritchie: Oh really?
* George Carlin: Explained Ritchie.
* Ritchie: I am surprised. I'd always thought you were afraid of the dark. I wonder why?
* George Carlin: Ash decided to say nothing and went to sleep instead. Next day, Ryu Hoshi came to see him.
* Ryu: I would like you to go to the harbour tonight. You have to collect something rather unusual.
* Ash: What sort of something?
* George Carlin: Asked Ash.
* Ryu: Wait and see.
* George Carlin: Replied Ryu Hoshi. Meanwhile, Ritchie was moving some Beedrill into a siding. Shaggy arrived with his goods train. The signalman changed the switches and Ritchie waited on the siding until Shaggy 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 Ritchie. The workmen will have to mend them in the morning. It's too late now.
* Driver: Hmmm.
* George Carlin: Said Ritchie's Driver.
* Driver: I'm sorry, Ritchie. But you will have to stay here tonight.
* Ritchie: Where are you going?
* George Carlin: Asked Ritchie.
* Fireman: Home for tea.
* George Carlin: Replied the fireman. Ritchie was speechless. He watched as the other characters went home to the shed. Night-time came and Ritchie began to feel very lonely.
* Ritchie: Oh dear.
* George Carlin: He murmured.
* Ritchie: It's very dark.
* (A screeching noise can be heard)
* Ritchie: Oh! Oh! What's that?!
* George Carlin: It was only an owl, but Ritchie didn't realize this.
* Ritchie: Oh, I wish Ash was here too.
* George Carlin: He sighed. Ash was waiting for his mysterious load at the harbour. Suddenly, there it was.
* (The Gyarados appears)
* Ash: Blast my head!
* George Carlin: Cried Ash.
* Ash: It's a Gyarados!
* Driver: Don't worry.
* George Carlin: Laughed his driver.
* Driver: This Gyarados is made of paper. It's for the carnival tomorrow.
* George Carlin: Workmen lifted the dragon onto Ash's load loader and put lights all around it for protection. Then, Ash set off into the misty night. Ritchie was asleep on his siding and had no idea that Ash was approaching him.
* (Ash and the Gyarados approach Ritchie and scare him)
* George Carlin: Ritchie woke up with a start.
* Ritchie: Help!
* George Carlin: Cried Ritchie.
* Ritchie: I'm not going to open my eyes until my driver comes.
* George Carlin: Next morning the switches were mended and Ritchie puffed back to the junction. Hayato was just about to leave with the express.
* Ritchie: You'll never guess what I saw last night.
* George Carlin: Hayato was in no mood for puzzles.
* Hayato: I'm a busy character. I don't have time for your games.
* Ritchie: I've seen a huge Gyarados. It was covered in lights.
* George Carlin: Hayato snorted.
* Hayato: You've been in the sun too long. Your dome has cracked.
* George Carlin: When the other characters heard the news, they laughed too.
* Al: Look out, Ritchie!
* George Carlin: Chuckled Al.
* Al: Or the Gyarados may gobble you up!
* Ritchie: No one believes me.
* George Carlin: Huffed Ritchie.
* Ritchie: Maybe I did imagine the Gyarados after all.
* George Carlin: But Ritchie soon found out that he hadn't.
* Ritchie: Help! Save me!
* George Carlin: Cried Ritchie.
* Ash: It's alright.
* George Carlin: Whistled Ash. And he explained about the carnival.
* Ash: By the way, how was your night out?
* George Carlin: Ritchie decided to tell Ash the truth.
* Ash: Well, Ritchie.
* George Carlin: Said Ash.
* Ash: Maybe we do get scared sometimes, but if we're not afraid to tell each other, then that means we're quite brave too.

### Marina Burton

* George Carlin: Ritchie and Tyson were worried. Ash's recent accident had caused a great deal of trouble, and Ryu Hoshi was waiting for them with important news.
* Ryu: Here is Marina the pink haired mermaid, who has come to help while Ash is...indisposed.
* Ritchie: Please sir, will she go when Ash comes back, sir?
* Ryu: That depends.
* George Carlin: Said Ryu Hoshi.
* Ryu: Meanwhile, however long she stays, I hope you will both make her welcome and comfortable.
* Tyson: Yes, sir, we'll try, sir.
* George Carlin: Said the characters.
* Ryu: Good. Run along now and show her the shed. She will want a rest after her journey.
* George Carlin: Marina was not easy to pleased. She shuddered at the engine shed.
* Marina: This is dreadfully smelly. I'm highly sprung, and anything smelly is bad for my swerves.
* George Carlin: Next, they tried the carriage shed.
* Marina: This is better.
* George Carlin: Said Marina.
* Marina: But whatever is that rubbish?
* George Carlin: The rubbish turned out to be Toni, Mika and Hilary who were most offended.
* Toni: We won't stay here to be insulted.
* George Carlin: They fumed. Ritchie and Tyson had to take them away and spend half the night soothing their hurt feelings. The characters woke next morning feeling exhausted. Marina, on the other hand, felt bright and cheerful.
* Marina: Oooh! Oooh!
* George Carlin: She tooted, as she came out of the yard and back to the station.
* Marina: Look at me.
* George Carlin: She purred to the passengers.
* Marina: I'm the latest mermaid, highly sprung and right up to date. You won't want Ash's bumpy old Toni and Mika now.
* George Carlin: The passengers waited for Marina to start, but she didn't. She saw that the milk van was about to be coupled to her and was most indignant.
* Marina: Do they except me to pull that?
* Marina's Driver: Surely.
* George Carlin: Said her driver.
* Marina's Driver: You can pull one van.
* Marina: I won't.
* George Carlin: Said Marina.
* Marina: Ritchie can do it. He loves messing about with Beedrill.
* George Carlin: She began to shudder violently.
* Marina's Driver: Nonsense.
* George Carlin: Said her driver.
* Marina's Driver: Come on now, back down.
* George Carlin: Marina lurched backwards. She was so cross that she blew a fuse.
* Marina: Told you.
* George Carlin: She said and stopped. Everyone argued with her but it was no use.
* Marina: It's fitter's orders.
* George Carlin: She said.
* Passengers: What is?
* Marina: My fitter's a very nice man. He comes every week and exams me carefully. Marina, he says, never, never pull. You're highly sprung and pulling is bad for your swerves. So that's how it is.
* George Carlin: Finished Marina.
* Stationmaster: Stuff and nonsense.
* George Carlin: Said the stationmaster.
* Shunter: I can't understand.
* George Carlin: Said the shunter.
* Shunter: Whatever made Ryu Hoshi send us such a feeble...
* Marina: Feeble? Feeble?!
* George Carlin: Spluttered Marina.
* Marina: Let me...
* Passengers: Stop arguing!
* George Carlin: Grumbled the passengers.
* Passengers: We're late already.
* George Carlin: So they uncoupled the van, and Marina purred away feeling very pleased with herself. She can now enjoyed her journey.
* Marina: That's a good story.
* George Carlin: She chuckled.
* Marina: I'll do just what work I choose, and no more.
* George Carlin: But she said it to herself.

### Al Goes Buzz Buzz

* George Carlin: Flint Hammerhead was enjoying his work in the Vicarage Orchard. Birds were singing and apples were brightening on the trees. It was a splendid day.
* Al: Hello, Flint.
* George Carlin: Said Al.
* Al: You look as bright and cheerful as my red paint.
* Flint: Oh I am.
* George Carlin: Replied Flint.
* Al: What's that noise?
* Flint: It's the bees.
* George Carlin: Laughed Flint.
* Flint: They're all in these boxy things called beehives. I'm taking them to the station. The President says his bees make good honey and he's giving some of them to his friends.
* George Carlin: Just then, Clay Bailey hummed in.
* Clay: Take care you two. Don't make the bees angry. They might sting you.
* George Carlin: Al didn't like being told what to do by a Xiaolin Warrior and he buzzed away.
* Clay: Goodbye, Flint.
* George Carlin: Called Clay and set off to see Tai at the next station. Tom and Jerry were busy arranging Beedrill. But they scampered off when they saw Clay.
* Clay: I remember the first time I met those two.
* George Carlin: Laughed Clay.
* Clay: They nearly made my eyes pop out. Jackie soon put a stop in their games.
* Tai: Jackie is the only one who can keep Tom and Jerry in order.
* George Carlin: Chuckled Tai.
* Tai: I sometimes call them "The Bees".
* Clay: A good name.
* George Carlin: Replied Clay.
* Clay: Their terrors when the start buzzing around.
* George Carlin: Al bustled in.
* Al: What's that, Tai? Are you afraid of bees? They're only insects after all, so don't let that buzz box Xiaolin Warrior tell you different.
* Tai: His name is Clay, and he didn't. We...
* Al: I wouldn't care, if hundreds were swarming around. I'd just blow smoke and make them buzz off.
* Tai: Buzz, buzz, buzz.
* George Carlin: Retorted Tai. The next morning, Al arrived at the station to collect his coaches. The passengers were excited and keened to get on board. The platform was crowded and the porter was in a hurry.
* Porter: Mind your backs.
* George Carlin: He shouted. Then there was trouble. The beehive fell and broke open. The station cleared like magic. Al heard a familiar buzzing. The bees were to cold to be cross so they buzzed around the fireman hoping he'd mend their hive. But he didn't understand, nor did his driver. So the bees turned to Al. His boiler was nice and warm.
* Al: Buzz off! Buzz off!
* George Carlin: Hissed Al. One bee burnt its foot.
* Bee: Ooh! Aah! Ooh! Ooh!
* George Carlin: The bee thought Al had burnt him on purpose. So it stung Al right back on the nose.
* (Doink!)
* Al: Eeeeeeeeeeee!
* George Carlin: Whistled Al. He had had enough so had his fireman and driver. They didn't notice till too late that they had left all their coaches behind. They tried everything to get rid of the bees. First they spun on the turntable but to no avail. They tried washing them off but the bees clung harder to Al's warm boiler. Then they tried smoking them off by going through a long tunnel. But still the bees wouldn't go away.
* Driver: It's no good, Al.
* George Carlin: Said his driver.
* Driver: We'll just have to get back to the orchard and fetch another hive.
* George Carlin: Al's reply was drowned by the sound of buzzing. The president was waiting anxiously for Al. When he arrived, the bees swarm straight into their new home.
* Driver: Come on, Al.
* George Carlin: Said his driver.
* Driver: What you need now is a good hosedown.
* George Carlin: Later that evening, Al was resting in the shed when the president came to see him.
* Stratos: Thank you for saving my bees.
* George Carlin: He said.
* Stratos: It's the pity it's not Christmas, then we can call you Al the Red-Nosed boy.
* George Carlin: Everyone laughed even Al. But instead, they decided to call Al "The Bees Knees", which means they thought he was more useful than ever.
