## Script

### Jackie Helps Out

* George Carlin: One day, Jackie was in the house where he lived with the other characters. They were all bigger than Jackie and boasted about it.
* Hayato: The driver won't choose you again.
* George Carlin: Said Hayato.
* Hayato: He wants strong characters like us.
* George Carlin: But the driver and fireman felt sorry for Jackie.
* Driver: Would you like to come out today?
* Jackie: Oh yes, please.
* George Carlin: Said Jackie. So they lit his fire, made lots of steam and Kevin puffed away. The other characters were very cross of being left behind. Jackie worked hard all day. The coaches thought he was very kind and the driver was very pleased.
* Jackie: I'm going out again tomorrow.
* George Carlin: Jackie told the other characters that night.
* Jackie: What do you think at that?
* George Carlin: But he didn't hear what they thought, for he was so tired and happy that he fell asleep at once. Next morning, Jackie woke up to find nothing had changed. Hayato was still boasting.
* Hayato: You watch me, little Jackie, as I rush through with the express. That will be a splendid sight for you. Goodbye, little Jackie. Look out for me this afternoon.
* George Carlin: Jackie went off to do some shunting. He like shunting. It was fun playing with Beedrill. He would come out quietly and gave them a push. Then he would stop, and the silly Beedrill will go bump into the each other.
* Beedrill: Oh!
* George Carlin: They cried.
* Beedrill: Whatever is happening?
* George Carlin: Jackie played till there were no more Beedrill. Then he stopped to rest. Presently, he heard a whistle. Hayato was cross. Instead of pulling shiny new coaches, he was pulling a dirty freight train.
* Hayato: A freight train, a freight train, a freight train!
* George Carlin: He grumbled.
* Hayato: The shame of it, the shame of it, oh, the shame of it!
* George Carlin: Jackie laughed and went to find some more Beedrill. Then, there was trouble.
* Porter: Hayato can't get up the hill.
* George Carlin: The porter called to Jackie's Driver.
* Porter: Will you take Jackie and push him please?
* George Carlin: They found Hayato halfway up, and very cross. His driver and fireman were talking to him severely.
* Driver: You're not trying.
* Hayato: I can't do it!
* George Carlin: Said Hayato.
* Mayato: The noisy Beedrill hold a character back so!
* George Carlin: Jackie's driver came up.
* Driver: We've come to push.
* Hayato: No use at all!
* George Carlin: Said Hayato.
* Driver: You wait and see.
* George Carlin: Replied Jackie's driver. They brought the train back to the bottom of the hill.
* Jackie: I'm ready.
* George Carlin: Said Jackie.
* Hayato: No good.
* George Carlin: Grumbled Hayato. They pulled and pushed as hard as they could.
* Hayato: I can't do it, I can't do it, I can't do it!
* George Carlin: Puffed Hayato.
* Jackie: I will do it, I will do it, I will do it!
* George Carlin: Puffed Jackie. Jackie pushed and puffed and puffed and pushed as hard as ever he could. And almost before he realized it, Hayato found himself at the top of the hill.
* Hayato: I've done it, I've done it, I've done it!
* George Carlin: He said proudly. He forgot all about kind Jackie and didn't say thank you. Jackie was left out of breath and far behind, but he was happy because he had been so helpful. At the next station, he found that the driver and fireman were very pleased with him. The fireman gave him a nice long drink and the driver said...
* Driver: I'll get out my paint tomorrow, and give you your beautiful coat of blue with red stripes, then you'll be the smartest character in the shed.

### Foolish Beedrill

* George Carlin: Al had not been out to arrange Arcanine or Beedrill in the yard for several days. He was feeling miserable.
* Al: Oh dear. I wonder how long I shall have to stay in the shed would anyone else see my coat again? Why did I go so fast that I made a hole in one of my coaches that had to be mended with of all things a passenger's bootlace.
* George Carlin: At last Ryu Hoshi arrived.
* Ryu: I know you are sorry, Al. And I know too that you want to be a useful character. People are laughing at my railway and I do not like that at all.
* Al: I will try hard to do my best.
* George Carlin: Said Al.
* Ryu: That's a good boy. There's nothing like determination. I want you to pull some Beedrill for me.
* George Carlin: Al was delighted and puffed away.
* Ash: Here's your freight train, Al.
* George Carlin: Said Ash.
* Ash: Have you got some bootlaces ready?
* George Carlin: And he ran off laughing.
* Beedrill: Oh, no!
* George Carlin: Said the Beedrill.
* Beedrill: We want a proper character, not a red monster.
* George Carlin: Al took no notice and started as soon as the conductor was ready.
* Al: Come along, come along.
* George Carlin: He puffed.
* Beedrill: We won't, we won't.
* George Carlin: Screamed the Beedrill. But Al didn't care and he pulled the screeching Beedrill sternly out of the station. The Beedrill tried hard to make him give up but he still kept on. Sometimes their brakes will slip on and sometimes their axles will run hot and each time the trouble had to be put right and each time Al will start again, determined not to let them beat him.
* Beedrill: Give up, give up! You can't pull us! You can't, you can't!
* George Carlin: Called the Beedrill.
* Al: I can and I will! I can and I will!
* George Carlin: Puffed Al and slowly but surely, he pulled them along the line. At last they saw Scott's Hill.
* Driver: Look out for trouble, Al.
* George Carlin: Warned his driver.
* Driver: We'll go fast and get them up before they know it. Don't let them stop you.
* George Carlin: So Al went faster and soon they were halfway up.
* Al: I'm doing it, I'm doing it.
* George Carlin: He panted.
* Al: Will the top never come?
* George Carlin: Then with a sudden jerk, it all came easier.
* Al: I've done it, I've done it. Hooray! It's easy now.
* George Carlin: But his driver shut off steam.
* Driver: They've done it again. We've left our tail behind. Look.
* George Carlin: The last Beedrill were running backwards down the hill. A coupling had snapped. But the conductor stopped the Beedrill and got out to warn approaching characters.
* Al: That's why it was easy.
* George Carlin: Said Al as he backed the other Beedrill carefully down.
* Al: What silly things Beedrill are. They're might have been an accident.
* Jackie: Shall I help you, Al?
* George Carlin: Called Jackie.
* Al: No thank you. I'll pull them myself.
* Jackie: Good, don't let them beat you. You're doing well!
* George Carlin: Whistled Jackie as Al slowly struggled up the hill.
* Al: I can do it, I can do it.
* George Carlin: He puffed. He pulled and puffed as hard as he could.
* Al: I've done it, I've done it!
* George Carlin: He panted. Al was resting in the yard when Jackie pulled up.
* Jackie: Peep peep!
* George Carlin: He whistled. Then, Al saw Ryu Hoshi.
* Al: Oh dear, what will he say?
* George Carlin: He asked himself. But Ryu Hoshi was smiling.
* Ryu: I was in Jackie's train and I saw everything. You made the most troublesome train on the line behaved. After that performance, you deserved to keep your red coat.

### Trouble In The House

* George Carlin: Ryu Hoshi sat in his dojo, listening to the noise outside. The passengers were angry. The stationmaster came in.
* Stationmaster: There's trouble in the house, sir. Shaggy was sulking. There's no train and the passengers are saying this is a bad railway.
* Ryu: Indeed.
* George Carlin: Said Ryu Hoshi.
* Ryu: We cannot allow that.
* George Carlin: He found Hayato, Al and Shaggy looking very cross.
* Ryu: Come along, Shaggy. It's time your train was ready.
* Hayato: Shaggy's not going!
* George Carlin: Said Hayato.
* Hayato: We won't shunt like little characters. That was Ash's job. We are important tender characters. You fetch our coaches and we will pull them. Tender characters don't shunt.
* Ryu: We'll see about that.
* George Carlin: Said Ryu Hoshi.
* Ryu: No character on my railway is too important for small jobs.
* George Carlin: And he hurried away to find Jackie.
* Ryu: The yard has never been the same since Ash left to run his branch line.
* George Carlin: He thought sadly. Jackie was shunting.
* Ryu: Leave those Beedrill please, Jackie.
* George Carlin: Said Ryu Hoshi.
* Ryu: I want to push coaches for me in the yard.
* Jackie: Thank you, sir. That will be a nice change.
* Ryu: That's a good boy. Off you go then.
* George Carlin: So Jackie found coaches for the three characters and that day, the train's ran as usual. But next morning, Jackie looked unhappy. Hayato came clanking pass hissing rudely.
* Ryu: Bless me!
* George Carlin: Said Ryu Hoshi.
* Ryu: What a noise!
* Jackie: They all hissed me, Sir.
* George Carlin: Answered Jackie.
* Jackie: They say tender characters don't shunt and last night they said I have gray feet. I haven't have I, sir?
* Ryu: No Jackie, you have nice blue ones, and I'm proud of you. Tender characters do shunt, but all the same we do need another character here.
* George Carlin: He went to the workshop and they showed them all sorts of characters. At last, he saw a smart little kid with brown hair.
* Ryu: That's the one.
* George Carlin: He thought.
* Ryu: If I choose you, will you work hard?
* Ritchie: Oh sir, yes sir.
* Ryu: That's a good boy. I'll call you Ritchie.
* Ritchie: Yes sir, thank you sir.
* George Carlin: Said Ritchie. And Ryu Hoshi brought him back to the yard.
* Ryu: Jackie.
* George Carlin: He called.
* Ryu: Here's Ritchie. Will you show him everything?
* George Carlin: Ritchie soon learned what he had to do and they had a happy afternoon. Then Shaggy came by hissing as usual.
* Ritchie: Wheesh!
* George Carlin: Went Ritchie. Shaggy jumped and ran back to the shed.
* Jackie: How beautifully you wheeshed him!
* George Carlin: Laughed Jackie.
* Jackie: I can't wheesh like that.
* Ritchie: Oh.
* George Carlin: Said Ritchie.
* Ritchie: That's nothing. You should hear them in the workshop. You have to wheesh loudly to make yourself heard.
* George Carlin: Next morning, Ash arrived.
* Ash: Ryu Hoshi sent to me. I expect he wants help.
* George Carlin: He said to Jackie.
* Jackie: Sh, sh, here he comes.
* George Carlin: Laughed Jackie.
* Ryu: Well done, Ash, you've been quick. Listen, Shaggy, Hayato and Al are sulking. They say they won't shunt like little characters, so I have shut them up and I want you both to run a line for a while.
* Ash: Little characters indeed.
* George Carlin: Snorted Ash.
* Ash: We'll show them.
* Ryu: And Ritchie will help too.
* Ritchie: Oh sir, yes sir, please sir.
* George Carlin: Answered Ritchie. Jackie and Ash worked the main line greeting each other as they pass by. Ritchie puffed along the branch line. Ash was anxious about Toni and Mika, but both driver and conductor promise to take care of them. They were fewer trains but the passengers didn't mind. They knew the three other characters were having a lesson. Hayato, Al and Shaggy were cold, lonely and miserable. They wish now they haven't been so silly.

### A Miltank On The Line

* George Carlin: Jackie was getting old. His bearings were worn, and he clanked as he puffed along. He was taking empty Beedrill to a market town. The sun shone, birds sang, but Jackie was heading for trouble.
* Jackie: Come on! Come on!
* George Carlin: He puffed.
* Beedrill: Oh! Oh!
* George Carlin: Screamed the Beedrill. Jackie puffed and clanked, the Beedrill rattled and screamed. Some Miltank were grazing near by. They were not used to trains. The noise and smoke disturbed them. As Jackie clanked by, they broke through the fence and ran across the line. A coupling was broken and some Beedrill were left behind.
* (Miltank mooing)
* George Carlin: Jackie felt a jerk, but didn't take much notice. He was used to Beedrill.
* Jackie: Bother those Beedrill!
* George Carlin: He thought.
* Jackie: Why can't they come quietly?
* George Carlin: He was at the next station before either he or his driver realized what had happened. When Hayato and Shaggy heard about the accident, they laughed and boasted.
* Hayato: Fancy allowing Beedrill to break your train! They wouldn't dare do that to us. We'd show them!
* George Carlin: Old Tyson was cross.
* Tyson: You couldn't help it, Jackie. They've never met Miltank. I have, and I know the trouble they are.
* George Carlin: Some days later, Hayato rushed through Jackie's Station.
* Hayato: Boop boop! Mind the Miltank! Hurry, hurry!
* George Carlin: Puffed Hayato.
* Coaches: Don't make such a fuss! Don't make such a fuss!
* George Carlin: Grumbled his coaches. A long stretch a line lay ahead. In the distance was a bridge. It seemed to Hayato that there was something on the bridge. His driver thought so too.
* Hayato's Driver: Whoa, Hayato!
* George Carlin: He said, and shut off steam.
* Hayato: Pooh!
* George Carlin: Said Hayato.
* Mayato: It's only a Miltank! Shoo! Shoo!
* George Carlin: He moved slowly on to the bridge, but the Miltank wouldn't "Shoo"! She had lost her calf, and felt lonely.
* Miltank: Mooooh!
* George Carlin: She said sadly. Everyone tried to send her away, but she wouldn't go. Shaggy arrived.
* Shaggy: What's this? A Miltank? I'll soon settle her. Be off! Be off!
* Miltank: Mooooh!
* George Carlin: Shaggy backed away nervously.
* Shaggy: I don't want to hurt her.
* George Carlin: At the next station, Shaggy's Conductor told them about the cow, and warned the signalman that the line was blocked.
* Porter: That must be Bluebell.
* George Carlin: Said a porter.
* Porter: Her calf is here, looking for her mother. Ritchie will take her along.
* George Carlin: At the bridge, Bluebell was very pleased to her calf again, and the porter led them away.
* Shaggy: Not a word.
* Hayato: Keep it secret.
* George Carlin: Whispered Hayato and Shaggy to each other. They felt rather silly, but the story soon spread.
* Jackie: Well, well, well!
* George Carlin: Chuckled Jackie.
* Jackie: Two big characters afraid of a Miltank.
* Hayato: Afraid? Rubbish.
* George Carlin: Said Hayato.
* Hayato: We didn't want the poor thing to hurt herself by running up against us. We stopped so as not to excite her. You see what I mean, my dear Jackie.
* Jackie: Yes, Hayato.
* George Carlin: Said Jackie. Hayato felt somehow that Jackie "saw" only too well.

### Pop Goes Giovanni

* George Carlin: Tai is very proud of being a Digidestined leader. He talks endlessly about it. But he works hard, too, and makes everything go like clockwork. It was a splendid day. The Beedrill and Arcanine behaved well. The passengers even stopped grumbling. But the characters didn't like having to bustle about.
* Tai: There are two ways of doing things.
* George Carlin: Tai told them.
* Tai: The Digimon way, or the wrong way. I'm a Digidestined leader and...
* Shaggy, Hayato and Al: Don't we know it!
* George Carlin: They groaned. The characters were glad when the visitor came. He purred smoothly towards him. Ryu Hoshi introduce him.
* Ryu: Here is Giovanni. I have agreed to give him a trial. He needs to learn. Please teach him, Tai.
* Giovanni: Good morning.
* George Carlin: Purred Giovanni in an oily voice.
* Giovanni: Please to meet you, Tai. Is that Al and Shaggy and Hayato too? I am delighted to meet such famous characters.
* George Carlin: The silly characters were flattered.
* Characters: He has very good manners.
* George Carlin: They murmured.
* Characters: We're pleased to have in our yard.
* George Carlin: Tai had his doubts.
* Tai: Come on!
* George Carlin: He said. Giovanni purred after him.
* Giovanni: Your worthy Ho...
* Tai: Ryu Hoshi to you.
* George Carlin: Ordered Tai. Giovanni looked hurt.
* Giovanni: Your worthy Ryu Hoshi thinks I need to learn. He is mistaken. We Team Rocket Bosses don't need to learn. We know everything. We come to a yard and improvement. We are revolutionary.
* Tai: Oh!
* George Carlin: Said Tai.
* Tai: If you are revo, re-revo-thingummy, perhaps you would collect my Beedrill while I fetch Hayato's Arcanine.
* George Carlin: Giovanni delighted to show off, purred away. When Tai returned, Giovanni was trying to take some Beedrill from a siding. They were old and empty. They've not been touch for a long time. Giovanni found them hard to move. Pull! Push! Backwards! Forwards!
* Beedrill: Oh! Oh!
* George Carlin: The Beedrill groaned.
* Beedrill: We can't! We won't!
* George Carlin: Tai watched with interest. Giovanni lost patience.
* Giovanni: Grrr!
* George Carlin: He roared, and gave a great heave. The Beedrill jerked forward.
* Beedrill: Ohhh!
* George Carlin: They screamed.
* Beedrill: We can't! We won't!
* George Carlin: Some of their brakes snapped, and the gear jammed in the sleepers.
* Giovanni: Grrrr!
* Tai: Ha, ha, ha!
* George Carlin: Chuckled Tai. Giovanni recovered and try to push the Beedrill back, but they wouldn't move. Tai ran quietly around to collect the other Beedrill.
* Tai: Thank you for arranging these, Giovanni. I must go now.
* Giovanni: Don't you want this lot?
* Tai: No thank you.
* George Carlin: Giovanni gulped.
* Giovanni: And I've taken all this trouble. Why didn't you tell me?
* Tai: You never asked me. Besides.
* George Carlin: Said Tai.
* Tai: You were having such fun being revo-whatever-it-was-you-said. Goodbye.
* Giovanni: Grrrr!
* George Carlin: Giovanni had to help the workmen clear the mess. He hated it. All the Beedrill were laughing and singing at him.
* Beedrill: Beedrill are waiting in the yard, tackling them with ease'll, show the world what I can do, gaily boasts the Rocket Boss, in and out he creeps about, like a big black weasel, when he pulls the wrong Beedrill out, Pop goes Giovanni!
* Giovanni: Grrr!
* George Carlin: Growled Giovanni, and scuttled away to sulk in the shed.

### Lisa Brandon

* George Carlin: Lisa Brandon is a Super Doll fanatic who works for the school company arranging Beedrill in their sidings. She wears a blue long sleeved dress with a red sleeveless jacket, blue socks and red shoes. Lisa is young and full of her own ideas. She loves rearranging things too and began putting Tyson's Beedrill in different places every day. This made Tyson cross.
* Tyson: Beedrill...
* George Carlin: He grumbled.
* Tyson: ...should be where you want them when you want them.
* Lisa: Fiddlesticks!
* George Carlin: Said Lisa and flounced away. At last, Tyson lost patience.
* Tyson: I can't waste time playing "Hunt The Beedrill" with you. Take them yourself.
* George Carlin: Lisa was pleased. Taking Beedrill made her feel important. At the station, Giovanni oiled up to her.
* Lisa: Tyson's an old fusspot.
* George Carlin: She complained. Giovanni sense trouble and was delighted.
* Lisa: Tyson says only steam characters can manage Beedrill.
* George Carlin: Continued Lisa.
* Giovanni: How observe.
* George Carlin: Squirmed Giovanni.
* Giovanni: Depend upon it, Lisa. Anything steam characters can do, we bad guys can do better.
* George Carlin: Giovanni knew nothing about Beedrill, but Lisa didn't realize this. Tyson's line crosses the main road behind the station, and for a short way follows a farm lane. Frosty weather makes the mud rock-hard and very slippery. Tyson stops before reaching the lane. His fireman halts the traffic at the level crossing and then he sets off again. By using the heavy Beedrill to push him along, he has no trouble with the frosty rails and the lane and across the road. It is the only thing safe thing to do in this kind of weather. Tyson warned Lisa and told her just what to do.
* Lisa: I can manage, thank you.
* George Carlin: She replied.
* Lisa: I'm not an old fusspot like you.
* George Carlin: The Beedrill were tired of being pushed around by Lisa.
* Beedrill: It's slippery.
* George Carlin: They whispered.
* Beedrill: Let's push her around instead. On, on, on!
* George Carlin: They yelled. Lisa took no notice. Instead, she brought the Beedrill carefully down the lane and stopped at the level crossing. All traffic halted.
* Lisa: One of the headlamp for fusspot Tyson.
* George Carlin: Chortled Lisa. But Lisa had stopped in the wrong place. Instead of taking Tyson's advice, she had given the Beedrill the chance they wanted.
* Beedrill: Hold back! Hold back!
* George Carlin: They cried.
* Lisa: Grrrr up!
* George Carlin: Ordered Lisa. The Beedrill just laughed and her feet spun helplessly. Workmen sanded the rails and dig away the frozen mud, but it was no good. Everyone was impatient.
* Lisa: Grrrr agh!
* George Carlin: Wailed Lisa. Tyson was in the yard when he heard the news.
* Tyson: I warned her.
* George Carlin: He fumed.
* Driver: She's young yet.
* George Carlin: Soothed his driver.
* Driver: And...
* Tyson: She can manage her Beedrill herself.
* George Carlin: Interrupted Tyson.
* Driver: They're your Beedrill really.
* George Carlin: His driver replied.
* Driver: Lisa is suppose to stay at the quarry if Ryu Hoshi finds out.
* Tyson: Mmmm, yes.
* George Carlin: Said Tyson thoughtfully. He and his driver agreed that'll be best to help Lisa after all. An angry farmer was telling Lisa just what she could do with her train.
* Tyson: Having trouble, Lisa?
* George Carlin: Chortled Tyson.
* Tyson: I am surprised.
* Lisa: Grrrr osh!
* George Carlin: Said Lisa. With much puffing and feet slipped, Tyson pushed Lisa and the Beedrill back. The hard work made his fire burn fiercely, and his fireman spread hot cinders to melt the frozen mud. At last they finished.
* Tyson: Goodbye!
* George Carlin: Called Tyson.
* Tyson: You'll managed now, I expect.
* George Carlin: Lisa didn't answer. She took the Beedrill to the sheds, and scuttled home to the school company as quickly as she could.

### Jackie, Flint and The Really Useful Party

* George Carlin: Flint Hammerhead the Caveman is old fashioned, but he doesn't care. He knows that he is really useful, like his friend Jackie Chan. Early one morning, Flint was chuffing about the Vicarage Orchard. He had important news for Jackie.
* Flint: The president says that not all children are able to have holidays by the sea, so he's having a garden party to raise money for his seaside trip. I'm going to be the star attraction.
* George Carlin: Chattered Flint.
* Flint: Giving rides to all the visitors. The president is putting up posters all about it.
* Jackie: I'd like to help too.
* George Carlin: Sighed Jackie.
* Jackie: But without my rails, I wouldn't be much good at the garden party.
* George Carlin: It was a beautiful day but Jackie was worried.
* Jackie: I wish there was something I can do for a party.
* George Carlin: He said.
* Jackie: I'd like to be helpful like Flint.
* George Carlin: Jackie's driver laughed.
* Driver: You're helpful in your own way, and that's on the railway.
* George Carlin: Next day, it was Flint's turn to look disappointed. He had bad news.
* Flint: The preisdent's been so busy that he forgot to put up the posters. Now no one will know about the party.
* George Carlin: But Jackie had an idea.
* Jackie: Don't worry.
* George Carlin: He said.
* Jackie: Everything is going to be all right.
* George Carlin: Then he explained to his driver.
* Jackie: The president can paste his posters on my cab and coaches, so wherever I go, they'll go too.
* Driver: Well done, Jackie.
* George Carlin: Said his driver.
* Driver: I'm sure Ryu Hoshi would agree.
* George Carlin: As indeed he did. Jackie steamed happily to the stations collecting his passengers.
* Passengers: Look!
* George Carlin: They said.
* Passengers: The president is holding a party. We must go do that.
* George Carlin: Later Flint was resting in the orchard shed when Sonic rolled by.
* Sonic: Hello, Flint. Why are you dozing there like an old stick-in-the-mud?
* Flint: I'm not dozing, I'm resting.
* George Carlin: Replied Flint. Then he told Sonic about Mr. Stewart's party.
* Sonic: I'll be there too.
* George Carlin: Boasted Sonic.
* Sonic: I'm not sure people would wanna ride on a caveman after traveling in the smart blue hedgehog like me.
* George Carlin: The party day arrived. It had rained heavenly during the night and the orchard grove was soaked.
* Flint: Rain and mud won't spoil my day.
* George Carlin: Said Flint.
* Driver: No indeed.
* George Carlin: Agreed his driver.
* Driver: We'll stay on the road then we won't get bogged down.
* George Carlin: Flint was soon busy trending up and down the quiet country lane, carrying lots of laughing children. He was just turning the corner when he heard Sonic.
* Sonic: Hello, old timer. I'm taking everyone to the party. People have come from all other the island.
* George Carlin: Flint gave Sonic a cheerful whistle, and turned backed toward the orchard. Then there was trouble.
* Sonic: Help, I'm stuck!
* George Carlin: Shouted Sonic. His feet had sunk deep in the orchard mud. Pac-Man arrived just in time.
* Pac-Man: I'm the one who has to plough fields.
* George Carlin: Laughed Pac-Man.
* Pac-Man: We better get you out of here.
* George Carlin: Using strong ropes, Pac-Man and Flint pulled Sonic cleared the mud.
* Flint: This will teach Sonic a thing or two.
* George Carlin: Flint chuffered to himself. At last, Sonic was on the road again.
* Sonic: Thank you, Flint. You're not a stick-in-the-mud at all.
* Flint: No.
* George Carlin: Smiled Flint.
* Flint: But you were. Just for a little while.
* George Carlin: That evening, the president arrived to see Jackie and his driver.
* President: Thanks to your good idea about the posters. Hundreds of people paid to come to the party. We've raised lots of money for the children.
* George Carlin: Jackie was very pleased and Flint fell happily asleep thinking of all the children who would now get to the seaside at last.

### Ozzy and Drix

* George Carlin: Ozzy and Drix are body parts and have arrived from the City of Hector to help Ryu Hoshi, but only one character had been expected. The cells meant well, but did cause confusion. Ryu Hoshi had given them numbers, Ozzy 9 and Drix 10, but he was still planning to send one character home. There was Impmon in the yard that had taken a dislike to Drix. Things always went wrong when he had to take it out. His trains were late and he was blamed. Drix began to worry. Ozzy, his friend, was angry.
* Ozzy: You're a muckle nuisance!
* George Carlin: Said Ozzy.
* Ozzy: It's to leave you behind I'd be wanting.
* Impmon: You can't!
* George Carlin: Said Impmon.
* Impmon: I'm essential!
* Ozzy: Och are you?
* George Carlin: Ozzy burst out.
* Ozzy: You're nothing but a screeching and a noise when all set is done. Spite Drix, would ya? Take that!
* Impmon: Ow! Ooh!
* George Carlin: Cried Impmon.
* Ozzy: There's more coming should you misbehave.
* George Carlin: Impmon behave better after that. Until one day, Ozzy had an accident. The rails were slippery. He couldn't stop in time.
* (Ozzy crashes into the signal box)
* George Carlin: Ozzy wasn't hurt, but Ryu Hoshi was most annoyed.
* Ryu: I am disappointed, Ozzy. I didn't expect such, er, clumsiness from you. I had decided to send Drix back and keep you.
* Ozzy: I'm sorry, sir.
* George Carlin: Said Ozzy.
* Ryu: I should think so, too. You have upset my arrangements. Now Al will have to help you with the goods work, while you have your tender mended. Al won't like that.
* George Carlin: Ryu Hoshi was right. Al grumbled dreadfully about extra work.
* Drix: Anyone would think.
* George Carlin: Said Drix.
* Drix: That Ozzy had had his accident on purpose. I heard tell about a character and some tar wagons.
* Al: Shut up!
* George Carlin: Said Al.
* Al: It's not funny.
* George Carlin: He didn't like to be remind about his own accident.
* Drix: Well, well, well! Surely, Al, it wasn't you. You didn't say.
* George Carlin: Al didn't say. He slouched sulkily away.
* Impmon: Al is cross!
* George Carlin: Sniggered Impmon.
* Impmon: We'll try to make him crosser still!
* Beedrill: Hold back!
* George Carlin: Giggled the Beedrill to each other. Al did his best, but he was exhausted when they reached Kevin's station. Luckily, Drix was there.
* Al: Help me up the hill, please!
* George Carlin: Panted Al.
* Al: These Beedrill are playing tricks.
* Drix: We'll show them.
* George Carlin: Said Drix. Slowly but surely, the snorting characters forced the Beedrill up the hill. But Al was losing steam.
* Al: I can't do it, I can't do it!
* Drix: Leave it to me!
* George Carlin: Shouted Drix. The conductor was anxious.
* Conductor: Go steady! Impmon's losing!
* (Drix knocks Impmon down)
* George Carlin: Impmon was knocked out. No one had been hurt, and soon Jackie came to clear the mess. Ryu Hoshi was on board.
* Ryu: I might have known it would be Drix.
* George Carlin: He said.
* Jackie: Drix was grand, sir.
* George Carlin: Said Jackie.
* Jackie: Al had no steam left, but Drix worked hard enough for three. I heard him from my yard.
* Ryu: Two would have been enough.
* George Carlin: Said Ryu Hoshi.
* Ryu: I want to be fair, Drix, but I don't know. I really don't know.
* George Carlin: Ryu Hoshi was making up his mind about which character to send away, but that's another story.

### Ritchie's Predicament

* George Carlin: Marina Barton the Mermaid's work in the countryside was full of surprises. But she was frightened to bulls and cows, and she remain very lazy and stubborn. One day, Tyson brought Hilary to the station where Ritchie was grumbling shunting.
* Tyson: Hello, Ritchie. I see Marina's left the milk behind again.
* Ritchie: I had to make a special journey within I suppose. Anyone would think I've nothing to do.
* George Carlin: Grumbled Ritchie.
* Tyson: Tell you what.
* George Carlin: Replied Tyson.
* Tyson: I'll take the milk, you fetch my Beedrill.
* George Carlin: Their drivers and stationmaster agreed. Ritchie had never been to the quarry before. He began ordering the Beedrill about.
* Ritchie: Hurry along.
* George Carlin: He said. The Beedrill grumbled to each other.
* Beedrill: This is Tyson's place! Ritchie's got no right to poke his funnel in here and push us around.
* George Carlin: They whispered and pass the word.
* Beedrill: Pay Ritchie back! Pay Ritchie back!
* Ritchie: Come along.
* George Carlin: Puffed Ritchie.
* Ritchie: No nonsense.
* Beedrill: We'll give him nonsense.
* George Carlin: Giggled the Beedrill. But they followed so quietly that Ritchie thought they were under control. Suddenly, they saw a notice ahead: All Trains Stop To Pin Down Brakes.
* Ritchie: Peep peep! Brakes, Conductor, please!
* George Carlin: But before he could check them the Beedrill surged ahead.
* Beedrill: On! On!
* George Carlin: They cried.
* Ritchie: Help! Help!
* George Carlin: Whistled Ritchie. The man on duty at the crossing rushed to warn traffic with his red flag but was too late to switch Ritchie to the runaway sidings. Frantically trying to grip the rails Ritchie slid into the yard.
* Ritchie: Peep! Peep! Look out!
* (Crash!)
* George Carlin: The break van was in smithereens. Ritchie's driver and fireman had jumped clear but Ritchie was stranded. Next day, Ryu Hoshi arrived. Tyson and Marina had helped to clear the wreckage but Ritchie remained on his perch of Beedrill.
* Ryu: We must now try.
* George Carlin: Said Ryu Hoshi.
* Ryu: To run a branch line with Tyson and a mermaid. You have put us in an awkward predicament, Ritchie.
* Ritchie: I am sorry, sir.
* Ryu: You must stay here till we are ready.
* George Carlin: Continued Ryu Hoshi.
* Ryu: And you really must be more careful with Beedrill.
* George Carlin: Ritchie sighed. The Beedrill groaned beneath his feet. He quite understood about awkward predicaments. Ryu Hoshi spoke severely to Marina too.
* Ryu: My characters work hard. I send lazy characters away.
* George Carlin: Marina was ashamed.
* Ryu: However, Tyson says you worked hard after Ritchie's accident. So you shall have another chance.
* Marina: Thank you, sir.
* George Carlin: Said Marina.
* Marina: I will work hard. Tyson says he'll help me.
* Ryu: Excellent. What Tyson doesn't know about branch line problems isn't worth knowing. Our Tyson is an experienced character.
* George Carlin: Next day, Ash came back, and Ritchie was sent to be mended. Toni and Mika were delighted to see Ash again and he took them to a run at once. All were now friends, and Tyson has taught Marina a great deal. She shooed a cow the other day all by herself. That show's you, doesn't it?

### One Good Turn

* George Carlin: Tom and Jerry are the most mischievous animals working on Ryu Hoshi's Town. They're kept busy pushing and pulling Beedrill up and down the line that runs from the china clay works to the harbour yard. They like to have fun together and often play tricks on the workmen. But sometimes, their teasing ways can get them into trouble. One morning, Ryu Hoshi came to see them.
* Ryu: Important goods have arrived in the big yard. Tom and Jerry, I need you to help the other characters.
* Tom and Jerry: Oh, yes, of course, sir.
* George Carlin: Replied the animals. They set off happily on their important mission. Clay was resting in the yard when suddenly he heard a pair of familiar whistles.
* Clay: Hmm.
* George Carlin: Sighed Clay.
* Clay: Here comes trouble.
* Tom: Ryu Hoshi told us you were tired.
* George Carlin: Teased Tom.
* Tom: He asked us to take all your Beedrill for you.
* Clay: You two never stopped do you? But I'm wise to your pranks and we do need help here.
* George Carlin: The animals were soon busy pushing and pulling the heavy Beedrill into place. At last, the day's work was done. The animals now became excited. They were going to use the turntable for the first time. Tom went first.
* Tom: This is fun!
* George Carlin: He shrieked to Jerry. He didn't want to move off at all. The foreman stopped the turntable.
* Foreman: Please make way for the other characters.
* George Carlin: He ordered. Tom did so, but the foreman had accidentally stopped the turntable in the wrong place. Tom was on the wrong track and there was Jerry puffing directly toward him. The characters came to a grinding halt. They gazed grimly at each other.
* Tom: I was here first!
* George Carlin: Said Tom.
* Jerry: But you're in my way!
* George Carlin: Protested Jerry.
* Jerry: You'll have to back up again!
* Tom: I won't!
* Jerry: You will!
* Tom: I won't!
* George Carlin: Ryu Hoshi came to stop the noise.
* Ryu: If you don't behave, I shall not allow you here again.
* George Carlin: The next day, Jerry was still grumpy.
* Jerry: That Tom! Imagine getting in my way on the turntable. He's a really silly cat!
* Clay: The way I heard it.
* George Carlin: Sighed Clay.
* Clay: It sounded like you were both to blame.
* Jerry: Pooh! You must have heard it all wrong!
* George Carlin: The animals grumbled about each other all day. Even kind Jackie lost patience.
* Jackie: All this grumbling spreads bad atmosphere in the yard.
* Clay: You're quite right and that's why I come up with a plan.
* George Carlin: Clay whispered his plan to Jackie. Then his driver told Ryu Hoshi.
* Ryu: I'll start making arrangements right away.
* George Carlin: The next morning he called Tom and Jerry into the yard.
* Ryu: Clay is taking a special train to the harbour. His regular heavy goods train is waiting on the siding. You can pull it together.
* Jerry: But...
* Tom: But...
* George Carlin: Protested Tom and Jerry who were still not speaking to each other.
* Ryu: Good. I knew I can rely on you two.
* Jerry: I'll take the train myself.
* George Carlin: Huffed Jerry.
* Tom: Go right ahead.
* George Carlin: Said Tom. Jerry was coupled up to the train of Beedrill, but they were too heavy for him to move alone.
* Tom: Go on.
* George Carlin: Teased Tom.
* Jerry: I can't!
* George Carlin: Said Jerry. Then suddenly, both animals laughed.
* Tom: I don't think we'll take turns this time, Jerry.
* George Carlin: Said Tom.
* Tom: I think we better pull together!
* George Carlin: Jerry was delighted. It was good to be helping each other. Best of all, it was good to be friends again.

### Ritchie's Ghostly Trick

* (Noctowl hooting twice, followed by ghostly air horn)
* Ritchie: And every year on the date of the accident, it runs again as a warning to others. Plunging into the gap, shrieking like a lost soul.
* Ash: Ritchie, what are you talking about?
* Ritchie: The ghost train. Driver saw it last night.
* Tyson: Where?
* George Carlin: Asked Ash and Tyson.
* Ritchie: He didn't say, oh it makes my feet wobble to think of it.
* Ash: Pooh!
* George Carlin: Said Ash.
* Ash: You're just a silly little boy. I'm not scared.
* Ritchie: Ash didn't believe in ghosts.
* George Carlin: Said Ritchie next morning. His driver laughed.
* Driver: Neither do I. It was only a pretend ghost story.
* George Carlin: Ritchie was disappointed. That evening, he came back from the harbour. Ritchie knew where he was, even in the dark.
* Ritchie: Crowe's Farm Crossing. We shan't be long now.
* George Carlin: He liked running at night. The rails hummed and the signal light shone green. But a broken cart load of lime lay ahead. Sam the Farmer had just gone for help.
* (A loud crash is heard as Ritchie hits the cart)
* George Carlin: Ritchie broke the cart to smithereens. Lime flew everywhere. He puffed quickly to the nearest signal box. Ritchie's driver explained what had happened.
* Signalman: I'll see to it.
* George Carlin: Said the Signalman.
* Signalman: But you better clean Ritchie, or people will think he's a ghost.
* George Carlin: Ritchie chuckled.
* Ritchie: Do let's pretend I'm a ghost and scared Ash. That'll teach him to see I'm a silly little boy.
* George Carlin: Tyson promised to help. Ash was being oiled up for his evening train.
* Tyson: Ritchie's had an accident!
* George Carlin: Cried Tyson.
* Ash: Poor boy.
* George Carlin: Said Ash.
* Ash: Botheration! That means I'll be late!
* Tyson: They've cleared the line for you, but there's something worse.
* Ash: Out with it, Tyson, I can't wait all evening.
* Tyson: I've just seen something.
* George Carlin: Said Tyson.
* Tyson: It looked like Ritchie's ghost. It said it was coming here to warn us.
* Ash: Pooh! Who cares? Don't be frightened, Tyson. I'll take care of you.
* (We can hear a loud brake sound)
* Ritchie: (ghostly voice) Peep, peep, peep-peep-peep, peep! Let me in, let me in!
* George Carlin: Wailed Ritchie.
* Tyson: No, no! Not by the smoke on my chimney chim chim!
* Ritchie: (ghostly voice) I'll chuff and I'll puff and I'll break your door in!
* (The doors open and reveal Ritchie all along)
* Ash: Oh dear!
* George Carlin: Explained Ash.
* Ash: It's getting late. Oh, I have no idea. Oh, I must find Toni and Mika.
* ​George Carlin: It was morning when Ash returned.
* Tyson: Where have you been?
* George Carlin: Asked Tyson.
* Ash: Ah well.
* George Carlin: Said Ash.
* Ash: I knew you be sad about Ritchie, and I, um, I didn't like to intrude. I slept in the freight shed and...
* (A ghostly whistle is heard)
* Ash: Oh, sorry, can't stop. Gotta see a coach about a train.
* George Carlin: Ritchie was non a worse for his adventure, and was still enjoying himself enormously. He had heard everything.
* Ritchie: Well, well, well! What do you know about that?
* Tyson: Anyone would think...
* George Carlin: Chuckled Tyson.
* Tyson: ...that our Ash was just seen a ghost!
