Transcript

• Ringo Starr: Duck the Great Western Engine puffed sadly to Edward's station.
• Duck: It's not fair.
• Ringo Starr: He complained.
• Duck: Diesel has been telling lies about me and made Sir Topham Hatt and all the engines think I'm horrid.
• Ringo Starr: Edward smiled.
• Edward: I know you weren't, and so does Sir Topham Hatt. You wait and see. Why don't you help me with these cars?
• Ringo Starr: Duck felt happier with Edward, and set to work at once. The cars were silly, heavy and noisy. The two engines have to work hard pushing and pulling all afternoon. At last, they reached the top of the hill.
• Duck: Goodbye!
• Ringo Starr: Whistled Duck, and rolled gently over the crossing to the other line. Duck love coasting down the hill, running easily with the wind whistling past. Suddenly...
• Duck: It was the conductor's warning whistle.
• Freight Cars: Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah!
• Ringo Starr: Laughed the cars.
• Freight Cars: We've broken away, we've broken away! Chase him, bump him, throw him off the rails!
• Ringo Starr: They yelled.
• Duck's Driver: Hurry, Duck, hurry!
• Ringo Starr: Said the driver. They raced through Edward's station, but the cars were catching up.
• Duck's Driver: As fast as we can, then they'll catch us gradually.
• Ringo Starr: The driver was gaining control.
• Duck's Driver: Another clear mile and we'll do it. Oh, glory, look at that!
• Ringo Starr: James was just pulling out on they're line through the station ahead. Any minute, there could be a crash.
• Duck's Driver: It's up to you now, Duck.
• Ringo Starr: Cried the driver. Duck put every ounce of wait and steam against the cars.
• Duck: It's too late!
• Ringo Starr: Duck groaned, and shut his eyes. He veered into a siding where a barber had sent off shop. He was shaving a customer.
• (Duck crashes into the barber shop)
• Ringo Starr: The silly cars were knocked their conductor off his van, and left him far behind after he had whistled a warning. But the cars didn't care. They were feeling very pleased with themselves.
• Duck: Beg pardon, Sir.
• Ringo Starr: Gasped Duck.
• Duck: Excuse my intrusion.
• Barber: No I won't.
• Ringo Starr: Said the barber.
• Barber: You frightened my customers! I'll teach you!
• Ringo Starr: And he lathered Duck's face all other. Poor Duck! Thomas was helping to pull the cars away when Sir Topham Hatt arrived.
• Barber: I do not like engines popping through my walls.
• Ringo Starr: Fumed the barber.
• Sir Topham Hatt: I appreciate your feelings.
• Ringo Starr: Said Sir Topham Hatt.
• Sir Topham Hatt: But you must know that this engine and his crew had prevented a serious accident. It was a very close shave.
• Barber: Oh.
• Ringo Starr: Said the barber.
• Barber: Oh! Excuse me.
• Ringo Starr: He filled the basin of water to wash Duck's face.
• Barber: I'm sorry. I didn't know you were been a brave engine.
• Duck: That's all right, sir. I didn't know that either.
• Sir Topham Hatt: You were very brave indeed.
• Ringo Starr: Said Sir Topham Hatt.
• Sir Topham Hatt: I'm proud of you.
• Ringo Starr: Sir Topham Hatt watched the rescue operation, then he had more news to Duck.
• Sir Topham Hatt: And when you are properly washed and mended, you are coming home.
• Duck: Home, sir? Do you mean the yard?
• Sir Topham Hatt: Of course.
• Duck: But, sir, they don't like me. They like Diesel.
• Sir Topham Hatt: Not now. I never believed Diesel, so I sent him packing. The engines were sorry and want you back.
• (Engines whistling)
• Ringo Starr: A few days later when he came home, there was a really rousing welcome for Duck the Great Western Engine.
