## Transcript

Narrator: "Noteworthy's visit to the Hoity Toity's town has come to an end."

Hoity Toity: "We shall miss you."

Narrator: "Said Hoity Toity.

Then he turned his attention to all the other animals."

Hoity Toity: "My town is very busy, and I'm impressed with you, but... you may need help. A unicorn named King Sombra is all that's available. Please do your best to avoid any... ahem, disturbances."

Soarin: "What does that mean?"

Narrator: "Whispered Soarin."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "That means this unicorn is difficult!"

Narrator: "Snapped Cranky.

And he was.

King Sombra surveyed the library."

King Sombra: "Not bad. I've seen worse. At least you're all clean."

Narrator: "The animals glared."

King Sombra: "It's not your fault, but Hoity Toity should get rid of you and get creatures like me. Some dark magic, and I'm off! No bother, no waiting. They have to fuss round you for hours before you're ready."

Narrator: "The animals were furious!

Next morning, they held an indignation meeting round the library."

Big Macintosh: "Disgraceful!"

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Disgusting!"

Filthy Rich: "Despicable!"

Night Light and Hondo Flanks: "To say such thing to us!"

Narrator: "Cried Night Light and Hondo Flanks."

Night Light and Hondo Flanks: "It's to teach him a lesson we be wanting. Now, how do we do it?"

Narrator: "Their chance came sooner than expected. King Sombra was purring comfortably.

An inspector watched a fitter making final adjustments. The wind tugged at the inspector's hat.

King Sombra was ready."

King Sombra: "Look at me, Soarin and Noteworthy! Now I'll show you something!"

Narrator: "He rolled proudly towards his buffaloes.

Just then, it happened."

(King Sombra splutters and coughs)

"Shaking and spluttering, King Sombra stopped.

Meanwhile, the inspector was looking for his hat. King Sombra seethed with fury as Soarin and Noteworthy pushed him back to the shed."

Railway Inspector: "My hat!"

Narrator: "Exclaimed the Inspector."

Railway Inspector: "You've sucked it with your dark magic!"

Hoity Toity: "Bother your hat!

The heavy buffaloes are due out. You'll have to take them, Soarin. Noteworthy, will you help, please?"

Noteworthy: "Thank you, Sir."

Narrator: "Sighed Noteworthy."

Noteworthy: "I'd like a good, long run on the last day of my visit."

Narrator: "The ponies were soon ready."

Hoity Toity: "Big Macintosh will take over from halfway, so get the buffaloes to there. Good luck!"

Noteworthy: "Don't worry."

Narrator: "Smiled Noteworthy."

Noteworthy: "We'll get there, and be early, too!"

Narrator: "The cavalcade moved on the path and gently out to the open road."

Noteworthy: "Now for a sprint!"

Narrator: "Puffed Noteworthy."

Soarin: "I'm ready when you are!"

Narrator: "Replied Soarin.

Soon, they were whizzing through Shining Armor's station, and next, they were charging at Big Mac's hill beyond.

They felt the drag of the heavy buffaloes here. It was very hard work.

At last, they were running smoothly along the line toward the big station."

Big Macintosh: "Hello, you're early!"

Narrator: "Said Big Mac."

Big Macintosh: "That's one in the head for old Sombra!"

Noteworthy: "Cranky says he's sick as sludge and sulking in the shed."

Big Macintosh: "Serves him right for saying we're out of date!"

Narrator: "And Big Mac chortled away.

Next morning, everyone came to say good-bye to Noteworthy."

Animals: "Come back and see us again soon!"

Narrator: "Whistled the animals."

Noteworthy: "And you are always welcome on my Music Route, too!"

Narrator: "Replied Noteworthy. Then, he puffed away.

What about Sombra? He'd slipped away while no one was looking. He said good-bye to no one else left two things behind; a rather nasty smell with bad manners, and a battered bowler hat."
