The Great Race/Transcript

Transcript

Thomas Race with Gordon

• [We begin with an overview of Kellsthorpe Road Station as Thomas puffs in pulling Annie and Clarabel]
• Narrator: It was a bright day on the Island of Sodor. Thomas was busy pulling the local, the slow train that runs from Knapford to Vicarstown.
• [The passengers enter Annie and Clarabel and the guard blows his whistle and shows a green flag. Thomas whistles and goes on his way. Thomas is puffing along when Gordon's whistle is heard not too far off]
• Annie: [gasps] Clarabel, was that...?
• Clarabel: No! It's a lovely day, Annie. Can you... hear the birds singing?
• Annie: Ah, yes, the birds.
• [starts tweeting]
• Thomas:
  • What are you lot going on about? I can't hear any...
  • [Gordon's whistle is heard again]
  • Gordon.
• [We then view Gordon puffing into view]
• Annie: No, Thomas, don't.
• Clarabel: There's nothing to prove.
• Annie: This is the slow train!
• Thomas: [chuckles] It's only to the next signal box, ladies. First one to pass the post wins the race!
• Annie and Clarabel: NO!!!
• Thomas: And it's Thomas coming on the inside! It's our plucky little tank engine, everyone's favourite No. 1, taking on the big, blue beast known in Tidmouth as...GORDON!!!
• Gordon: Express coming though! (whistles).
• Thomas:
  • Thomas' tiny pistons are pumping now! Full steam ahead!
  • (Clarabel opens one eye and then both as Gordon easily catches up with them).
  • As Thomas races towards signal box, VICTORY!!!
  • (He laughs happily as Gordon carries on further ahead of him).
  • I win! I win! Bad luck, Gordon! (laughs)
• Gordon: D'oh.

Thomas Meets Flying Scotsman

• [The scene changes to Thomas arriving in Vicarstown]
• Narrator: Thomas was still going pretty fast as he arrived at the big station in Vicarstown, the last main line stop on the Island of Sodor.
• [Thomas screeches to a stop]
• Annie and Clarabel: Oh!
• Thomas: Ho-ho-ho! Ah. One day, I'm going to race through this station and over the bridge to the Mainland again.
• Clarabel: Not today, Thomas! This train terminates here.
• [Then they heard a whistle and see a big green engine with two tenders reversing into the station]
• Thomas:
  • Oh, wow! Who's this with two tenders?
  • [The engine backs up to some coaches. It's the Flying Scotsman]
  • Hello. Are you from the Other Railway? I was built on the mainland you know. And once a long time ago, I went back across with the other famous engines on Sodor.
• Flying Scotsman:
  • Is that so? I didn't think there were any famous engines on
  • [sees Gordon next to him]
  • Oh. Hello, Gordon.
• Thomas: Do you two know each other?
• Gordon: Yes, Thomas. We know each other. This is my brother. They call him the "Flying Scotsman".
• Flying Scotsman:
  • Indeed they do. It almost makes me famous, doesn't it?
  • (winks at Thomas)
  • Oh, Gordon, I wanted to tell you my news! I've been invited to take part in the Great Railway Show on the Mainland, I shall be racing!
• Gordon: (shocked) Ugh!
• Thomas: (amazed) The Great Railway Show? What's that?
• Flying Scotsman: Oh, the Great Railway Show is where engines compete to see who's the fastest or the strongest or, what have you. But I'm not sure any engines from Sodor will be going.
• Gordon: I wouldn't want to go anyway, not if it's full of engines like you always boasting about how exciting things are on the Mainland!
• Thomas: (excited) Well, I want to go!
• Flying Scotsman: Of course, you do, Thomas. And with any luck, maybe you shall. Flying Scotsman coming through! (whistles)
• Gordon: Oh.
• [Flying Scotsman puffs out of the station to the mainland and the title reads; Thomas & Friends: The Great Race.]

Will You Won’t You

• [We then changes to Thomas arriving at Knapford and a poster of the Great Railway Show went up on the wall]
• Thomas: Oh look! The Great Railway Show!

Duck: It's gonna be special!

It's gonna be great!

Off to the Mainland without coaches or freight

Edward, Norman, Stanley and Duck:

Please Sir, I beg you

I just have to know

Will you won't you take me to the Railway Show?

Henry: Take me, Sir

I pull the heaviest trains

I'm such a mighty engine, Sir

It's never a strain

(He strains)

Gordon: (laughs) It's not a tough decision, though I have to confess

It's hard to find a better engine for the express

Sir Topham Hatt: (spoken) Mmm, precisely!

Gordon: (spoken) But...I didn't mean not to take me, Sir!

Philip: Haha!

I know I'm kinda small, Sir

But I'm not a beginner

I had a race with Gordon once

And I was the winner!

(He yelps by being bumped by Diesel)

Diesel: You ought to take me, Sir

I'm modern and new

Your first diesel ever

I'm loyal, kind and true

Percy, Emily and Sidney:

It's gonna be special

It's gonna be great

Off to the Mainland without coaches or freight

Charlie, Scruff and Stafford:

Please Sir, I beg you

You can't tell me no

James:

Will you won't you take me to the Railway Show?

Flynn and Belle: Fast engines

Henry and Daisy: Long engines

Bill, Ben, Timothy and Marion: Tough engines

Skarloey, Rheneas, Sir Handel and Peter Sam: Strong engines

Salty, Porter and Paxton: Everyone who's any engine's eager to go

Cranky: (spoken) I'm not going anywhere.

Oliver, Bert, Rex and Mike:

Will you won't you take us to the Railway Show?

Stephen:

It's gonna be special

It's gonna be great

Duck, Donald and Douglas:

Leaving behind all our coaches and freight

Sir Topham Hatt: Oh!

(cont.) Please Sir, we're begging Ya just can't say no

Gordon, James and Diesel:

Will you won't you take us to the Railway Show?

Henry, Duck, Donald and Douglas:

Will you won't you take us to the Railway Show?

Thomas: Will you won't you take me to the (wears out) Railway Show...?

(Gordon, James and Diesel laugh)

• Gordon: Oh, Thomas. Why would Sir Topham Hatt want to a little tank engine like you to the Great Railway Show?
• Sir Topham Hatt:
  • I haven't decided who I'm taking yet. In any case, I do have to keep some engines on Sodor. After all, we still had a railway to run.
  • (look at the engines who didn't move)
  • I said, we have a still had a railway to run!
• Henry: Oh, sorry sir.
• Diesel: Um, right.
• James: I'm on my way.
• [The engines moved away]

Talking with Philip

• [the scene changes to evening when Percy's still singing the song]
• Percy: "La la la la la la la la Railway Show!"
• [Thomas arrive]
• Thomas: I know what I'll be doing when everybody goes to the Great Railway Show.
• Percy: What, Thomas?
• Thomas: Shunting trucks in the yard. (mocking the Fat Controller) "I do have to keep some engines on Sodor, blah, blah, blah". "We've still have a railway to run".
• Percy: (laughs) Well, you are very good at shunting, Thomas.
• [Henry puff away with his train]
• Thomas: Thanks but no thanks, Percy. I rather go to the Great Railway Show.
• Philip:
  • [honks and arrives] If you really wanna go Thomas, all you have to do is put your mind to it. That's how I beat Gordon. I set my eyes on the track [Gordon: (on a tanker) Go!] and took off racing. Hoot-hoot.
  • (doing chugging and brakes)
  • And as big and fast as Gordon is, heh, he never overtook me.
• Percy: That's because Rushing on your own. Gordon wasn't even racing Philip.
• Philip:
  • Oh, I wish everyone would stop saying that! That's not the point. The point is that You can do anything he want to Thomas, if he just put his mind to it.
  • (reverses into some trucks)
  • Oops. Sorry.
• (He races away)

Streamlining

• [The scene changes to Thomas on his branch line the next day]
• Narrator: The next morning, Thomas woke up with a smile on his face.
• Thomas: Maybe Philip is right.

Thomas: Maybe I can do anything I want to. If I go as fast as the Flying Scotsman, Sir Topham Hatt will definitely take me to the show.

Annie: Ah. But you can't go as fast as The Flying Scotsman.

Caitlin: [whistles and zoom past] Hi, Thomas.

Thomas: [gets another idea] (gasps) Caitlin! What if I was streamlined like Caitlin? Streamlining makes engines much faster!

Annie and Clarabel: (laughs) Silly Thomas!

Clarabel: Whoever heard of a streamlined.....

Annie and Clarabel: Whoa!

• [Thomas speeds up as the song Streamlining starts playing]

Thomas:

All I want is a bit of redefining

A slicker, swifter, sleeker coat that's smooth and shiny

To get the speed I really need

Streamlining

Whoosh!

You wonder who was passing through

Whoosh!

You won't believe it's even true

Whoosh!

But all you'll see of me will be

A shiny streak of racing blue

I come to you my friend

As I need some redesigning

To be a tank engine is confining

Give me the curves I deserve

Streamlining

Wow!

Amazing!

Wow!

I love it!

Whoosh!

You wonder who is passing through (Annie and Clarabel: Passing through)

Whoosh!

You won't believe it's even true (Annie and Clarabel: Even true)

Whoosh!

But all you'll see of me will be (Annie and Clarabel: Do, do, do-do)

A shiny streak of racing blue

Annie and Clarabel:

(Go Thomas, go)

(Go Thomas, go)

All I want is a little redefining (Annie and Clarabel: Do, do-do-do)

But certain other engines might be reassigning (Annie and Clarabel: Do, do-do-do)

I'll get a shape that makes them gape (Annie and Clarabel: Do, do-do-do)

(Go Thomas, go)

I'll round the curves that I deserve (Annie and Clarabel: Do, do-do-do)

(Go Thomas, go)

I'll get the speed that I really need (Annie and Clarabel: Do, do-do-do)

(Go Thomas, go)

Streamlining!

Woah!

• [The song ends as the steam covers the screen then reveals Thomas stopped half way out of Knapford Station]
• Sir Topham Hatt: Ahem.
• Thomas: (reverses) Sorry, sir, I think I came in a little too quickly that time.
• Sir Topham Hatt: Yes, Thomas. You certainly did...
• Thomas: But I've had an idea! If you were to take an engine like me, sis, and get the men at the Steamworks to add some streamlining to him, then he'd be able to win races for you at the Great Railway Show!
• Sir Topham Hatt: That... is an excellent idea, Thomas!
• Annie: Are you surely about that Sir?
• Sir Topham Hatt: (chuckles) Of course I am, Annie. Thomas is quite right. Once he's been streamlined, Gordon will be faster than ever! Isn't that right, Gordon?
• [Gordon close his eyes with pride while Thomas felt sad for not being chosen]

The International Engines Arrived

• [The scene changes to Brendam Docks]
• Narrator: Even with all the excitement, work on the railway had to carry on and Brendam Docks was as busy as ever.
• Cranky: Okay, Diesel. This is a nice, big crate. How about this one?
• Diesel: Oh, no. No, not that one, Cranky. It needs to be bigger. (stuttering) That one! (laughs) Yeah, that one!
• Cranky: What do you want all these crates for, anyway?
• Diesel: Never you mind what I want them for. It's a surprise!
• (chuckles deviously)
• Cranky:
  • Oh, some engines!
  • [Thomas whistles as he puff in. Thomas saw Diesel leaving as they past him]
  • What's up with you?
• Thomas: I had this brilliant idea about how I could go to the Great Railway Show but Sir Topham Hatt refused to streamline me!
• Cranky: (laughing) Oh, Thomas! That is a good one! A streamlined tank engine!
• Thomas: It's not that funny, Cranky!
• [Then they heard a rail ferry's horn blaring as it arrived and the gangplank lowers down and the clank attracts The Dock Manager and the workers]
• [Then engines from all over the world came puffing onto the Docks]
• Engines: (chattering) Where are we supposed to go? Is this the place? Oh, yes!
• Axel: Bonjour!
• Female engine: Wow, everything looks so very different here.
• Axel: Ah, good day! Bonjour!
• Gina: Come on!
• Dock Manager: Hey, stop! Wait!
• [He blows his whistle and the engines stop]
• Vinnie: Oh, watch out!
• Dock Manager: Where are you all going?
• Axel: To the Great Railway Show, of course!
• (Thomas gasps)
• Dock Manager: The Great Railway Show's not here! It's happening on the mainland. This is the Island of Sodor!
• Axel: The Island of.... (realizing the mistake) Oops. Wrong stop!
• Vinnie: Hey!
• Gina: Everybody back on the ship!
• Raul: Back up! Back up! Oh, no!
• Female engine: I'm coming! Please wait!
• Thomas:
  • The Great Railway Show?
  • (moves to Raul)
  • Are you really all going to the Great Rail...
• Vinnie: (whistling) Get out of the way! (bump Thomas out of the way) Why don't you look where you're going, shrimp?
• Thomas: I'm not the one going backwards. Ah! Why don't you take me with you? (whistles) It looks like there's room for one more!
• Gina: Is somebody missing?
• (Vinnie chuckles)
• [The female engine bump into Thomas and he hangs over the edge of the dock.]
• Thomas: No, no, help!
• Porter: Thomas!
• Thomas: Whoa! Help!
• Workman: He's going over! Look out!
• Thomas: Whoa! Whoa!
• Workman: [attach chains to Thomas and the female engine behind him] Start pulling!
• (Thomas shouts)
• [The female engine pulls Thomas to safety]
• Thomas: Whoa! Whew!
• Workman: Hooray!
• Thomas: Whoa.
• Porter: What a rescue!
• Thomas: What is it with all you Railway Show Engines, charging about you own the tracks? What makes so special anyway? Do you think you're better than all the other engines just because.....
• (He stops stunned when he saw the female engine's face. It looks Indian)
• Female engine: I'm very sorry. I truly never meant to bump into you. I simply didn't realize you were behind me.
• Salty: Thank you for rescue me. My name's Thomas. What's yours?
• Thomas: Salty!
• Salty: (laughs) Don't be silly, Thomas! Ha-ha. She can't be called Salty. That's my name. (laughs again)
• Ashima: (giggles) My name is Ashima.
• Thomas: Well... I mean... So, I can't stand around here all day.
• Porter: Thomas! Whoa!
• Thomas: [bump into him] (Ashima giggles and laughs) [just glares then puffs out angrily] Some of us have a railway to run.
• [He puff away]

Thomas Confirms About Ashima

• [the scene changes to Thomas shunting cars angrily]
• Narrator: Soon, Thomas was back in the yard, shunting trucks again.
• [Thomas is grumbling angrily to himself while shunting the cars]
• Percy: I don't get it. Why did she try to push you off the docks?
• Thomas: I don't know, Percy. Maybe she was jealous! Or maybe she's just a very pushy engine.
• Percy: But, then, why did she rescue you?
• Thomas: Don't ask me, Percy. I don't know anything about her!
• Philip: [rolls up and honks] My advice to you, Thomas, is to keep away from her! Engines like that are nothing but trouble.
• (he rolls away)
• [Thomas continues shunting]

Seeing Ashima & Thomas Idea

• [The scene changes to Thomas, Annie, and Clarabel arriving at Kellstrophe Road Station]
• Narrator: But that afternoon, as Thomas was pulling the Local with Annie and Clarabel...
• Thomas: [whistles as he arrives then saw Ashima approaching much to his dismay] Oh, no! It's her!
• Annie and Clarabel: Ooh!
• Ashima: Oh, Thomas! Guys! (sighs) Hello again.
• Thomas: Hello. (blushes) I thought your going to the Great Railway Show?
• Ashima: I was but I miss the ferry. And I don't know how to get there by rail.
• Annie and Clarabel: Ooh! Thomas wants to go to the Great Railway Show!
• Annie: Maybe you could go together!.
• Thomas:
  • (blushes again) Well... I don't think that's a very good idea, Annie. I'm probably not even going.
  • [The guard blew his whistle]
  • (whistles) You'll need to find another engine to go with, not me.
  • [He left, leaving Ashima sad]
  • I do wish you two hadn't told her that I want to go to the Great Railway Show.
• Annie and Clarabel: But it's true.
• Thomas: Well, what's so special about her, anyway? She's not fast or big or strong. I really don't see why she should get to go.
• Clarabel: Well, she was very beautifully painted!
• Annie: Quite right, darling. She was started! All those bright colours!
• Thomas: Bright colours? Beautifully painted? Big deal! Any engine can get themselves painted!
• Narrator: And then, another idea flew into Thomas' funnel.
• [Thomas starts to speed up]
• Annie and Clarabel: Thomas!

Confused Ashima

• [The scene changes to Ashima puffing up through the countryside]
• Narrator: Ashima was very confused. She needed to get to the Railway Show.
• [Edward whistles]
• Ashima: Oh. excuse me.
• Narrator: But she didn't know which way to go or [Emily whistles] [Ashima: Hello.] or who to ask.
• Ashima:
  • Oh. Oh dear.
  • [She puff through Kellstorphe station again and saw Thomas puffing]
  • (Thomas whistles)
  • Thomas! Wait! Where are you...
• Thomas: I'm busy!
• Ashima:
  • But I just wanted to ask you how to get to the mainland please. (whistles)
  • [She then stopped at Maron station and saw Annie and Clarabel on the siding]
  • Hello. Aren't you Thomas' coaches?
• Annie: Yes, we are. Or at least we were.
• Clarabel: He canceled our train and left us here on this siding.
• Ashima: But where was he off to in such a terrible hurry?
• Annie and Clarabel: We don't know.
• [Ashima thinks]

Steamworks Modifications

• [The scene changes to the Steamworks where Gordon is being streamlined]
• Gordon:
  • (humming) Streamlining.
  • [Kevin drops some parts to the floor, disturbing Gordon]
  • I do wish you'd hurry up. At this rate, I'm not going to be ready for the Great Railway Show.
• Victor: It's a lot of work to streamlined a steam engine, Gordon. You have to be patient.
• Thomas: [comes rushing in with The Irelanders] Victor! (whistles) Victor! I've got a special job for you. I needed to be repainted. I was thinking maybe lightning bolts and racing stripes and uhh, you know, heh, surprise me!
• (Gordon clearing throat)
• Victor: I'm afraid we're a little busy and....
• Thomas: This is important, Victor! It's for the Great Railway Show!
• [Victor felt very reluctant but gives in anyway.]

I’m Full of Surprises

• [The scene changes to the Dieselworks where a crow flies over it]
• Narrator: Meanwhile, Diesel had a plan of his own.
• Diesel: We have to do everything we can, Paxton.!
• Paxton: Oh, okay, Diesel. But I still don't see what your plan is.
• Diesel:
  • My plan is to make you look like a car. One of his Cars so that he look like he's pulling a very, very heavy train, all by himself!
  • [Den and Dart look at each other unsure]
  • If Sir Topham Hatt thinks I'm stronger than Henry, he'II take me to the Great Railway Show instead of him!

Diesel: [laughs and began singing] (laughs) I'm full of surprises

Paxton: (spoken) Are you singing, Diesel?

Diesel: They ought to say of me

I bring some razzle dazzle to the yard

I'm full of surprises

As you can plainly see

I don't find being surprising all that hard

Paxton: (spoken) I can't really see anything under here!

Diesel:

I'm full of surprises

They ought to say of me

I bring some razzle dazzle to the yard

I'm full of surprises

As you can plainly see

I don't find being surprising all that hard

Some would probably say

I'm only up to my old tricks

But I'd say I'm a problem solver

Looking for a nice quick fix

[He snickers as the crates moved out of the Dieselworks]

I'm full of surprises

They ought to say of me

I bring some razzle dazzle to the rail

I'm full of surprises

As you can plainly see

I'm trusting my surprises to prevail

I hope this time being surprising doesn't fail!

They used to call me devious

Dart: (spoken) "Excuse me!"

Diesel: Because I had a bit of previous

Paxton: (spoken) "Is that someone I know?"

Diesel: But please, you must believious

I'm not that bad...

(giggles, then honks, scaring a crow)

Well maybe just a tad.

• Diesel: (snickers) [snickers, only to find out that the trucks and the diesels have left without him] (gasps) No! Wait! Come back here! Wait for me!
• (He honks his horn)

Thomas' Repaint

• [Later at the Steamworks, the workman are working on Thomas' art paint for the Great Railway Show]
• Narrator: At the Steamworks, everything had been set up so that Thomas could be repainted when...
• Sir Topham Hatt: Hello, Kevin, Victor. I was just wondering how Gordon was getting on.
• Thomas: Oh, no. Not now.
• [He start to reverse but push a ladder against the side of the wall and the paint flew all over the place and Thomas too have been covered in paint]
• Sir Topham Hatt: Thomas?
• Thomas:
  • Surprise!
  • (chuckles nervously as a ladder falls)
  • Anyway, I was gonna to tell ya sir. I had another idea for the Railway Show. Maybe you could send an engine with an exciting design.
• [The paintbrush fell off Thomas and Sir Topham Hatt picks it up]
• Sir Topham Hatt: Oh, yes, for the best decorated engine award! Clever you! Uh... Oh! But aren't you meant to be on your branch line right now?
• [The scene changes to evening as Thomas arrive at Maron]
• Thomas:
  • Annie! Clarabel! We're back! Sorry I'm late but I just stopped off at the Steamworks to see if...
  • [They find that they've gone]
  • Annie? Clarabel?
  • [Then they hear Emily's whistle]
  • Emily.
• Emily: Thomas! Have you heard the news? The Fat Hatt says that I'm to be repainted with decorations and...
• [Then James appeared behind her]
• James: Hello, you two. Guess what I've just heard? The Fat Controller wants me to be repainted!
• Emily: You too, James? Are you going to the Great Railway Show?
• James: Yes, Emily, I am! It wouldn't be great without me!
• Emily: Wow! I'm going too!
• James: Ha, ha! Looks like Thomas has been repainted as well! They didn't do a very good job, though. And I see that Norman got repainted as well, though it's not usual for people to paint each other.
• Thomas: [look at their selves with annoyance] It was an accident. have you both seen Annie and Clarabel? I left them on this siding but...
• Emily: Oh! I saw them! That new engine was pulling them. You know, the painted one form India.
• Thomas: Ashima?
• Emily: That's the one! Isn't she great? Okay, come on, James! See you later, Thomas.
• [They both whistled and Thomas (very angry) set off.]

Ashima Taking Annie and Clarabel

• [The scene changes to the windmill on Thomas' branch line where Ashima is pulling Annie and Clarabel]
• Narrator: Ashima had taken Annie and Clarabel back to Thomas' branch line. She was doing the job that Thomas was meant to be doing!
• Thomas: [puff by] Ashima!
• Annie and Clarabel: Thomas!
• [The scene changes to Ashima arriving at Maithwaite when Thomas pulls in]
• Thomas: Philip was right! Engines like you are nothing but trouble! What do you think you're doing, running off with my coaches?
• Clarabel: Your coaches, Thomas? We're not your coaches! We're our own coaches, aren't we, Annie?
• Annie: Quite right, dear. And what was so important that you had to rush off like that, Thomas? Leaving us on a siding in....
• Clarabel: In the middle of nowhere!
• Annie: In Maron.
• Clarabel: In the middle of nowhere!
• Thomas: I just... (sighs) I'm sorry, but... I had something I needed to do.
• [The guard blows his whistle]
• Annie: Come on, Ashima, let's get going.
• [She whistles and sets off]
• Thomas: I wanted to be repainted.

You Can Only Be You

• [They head up to Ashima]
• Thomas: I thought Sir Topham Hatt would take me to the Railway Show if I was decorated in some special way.
• Ashima: What do you mean, Thomas? You mean, like me?
• Thomas: No. Not like you! Well.... Yes, sort of.
• Ashima: (giggles) You are a very funny little tank engine!
• [The song You Can Only Be You starts playing]

Ashima: Every engine that I ever knew

Was at least a little different from the others

And some were very, very different too

Even from their sisters and their brothers

[Thomas look confused and imagines]

You can only be you

There's nothing else you can possibly do

It's plain to me that you're trying too hard

So instead, just be who you are

Thomas: (spoken) "I don't wanna be me."

Ashima:

You wish you could be faster, bigger, stronger

You wish you could have more than six small wheels

You think if you were just a little longer

You'd have more Railway Show appeal

Thomas: Of course!

Every bit of me is short and stumpy

My funnel and my boiler and my dome

Can't you see my paintwork's old and frumpy?

That's why I'll be the one who's left at home

Why do I have to be me?

Is this what I'm really meant to be?

Break me, shake me, take me all apart

There has to be a better place to start

Ashima:

Every bit of you is neat and tidy

There's nothing that you need to rearrange

If you ask me, you're completely bona-fide

What makes you think there's anything to change?

Thomas: Why do I have to be me?

Is this what I'm really meant to be?

Ashima: Calm down, be quiet

You know in your heart

There isn't any other place to start

Thomas: Why do I have to be me?

Ashima: You can only be you

Thomas: Is this what I'm really meant to be?

Ashima: There's nothing else you can do

Thomas: Shake me, break me, take me all apart

And find a better place to start

Ashima:

You don't have to try, just be who you are

And trust your six small wheels to take you far

• [They arrive at Knapford]
• Ashima: Thomas, are you any good at shunting and sorting out cars?
• Thomas: Yes! I'm very good. But why are you asking me that?
• Ashima: Because you could enter the Shunting Competition! All the best shunting engines are going to to the Great Railway Show too.
• Thomas: They are?
• [He look at the poster and imagines himself as the blue engine on the poster.]

Thomas' Accident

• [The scene changes to the next day]
• Narrator: The next morning, Thomas woke up with a smile on his face.
• Thomas: [whistles] I'm going to work on my shunting. I'll show Sir Topham Hatt what I can do best.
• Narrator: He hurried into the yard at Knapford Station to get to work.
• Thomas: Whoa! Hey!
• Diesel: [stops and comes back] Sorry about that. I didn't mean to surprise you, Thomas, but I'm afraid I can't help it. I'm full of surprises. (honks horn) Oops! (laughs)
• Thomas: Who's going to pull all those?
• Diesel: Me, of course! But not until Sir Topham Hatt arrives. I want to show him how strong I really am!
• Thomas: But nobody can get in or out of the yard, Diesel! I have shunting to do!
• Diesel: Haven't you ever heard of being patient, Thomas?
• Narrator: But Thomas didn't have time to be patient. It was almost the day of the Great Railway Show and Sir Topham Hatt was choosing his engines.
• Sir Topham Hatt: Ah, Percy. Um, I'm looking for Thomas. Any idea where I might find him?
• Percy: I think he was heading out to the yard, sir, to shunt cars.
• Sir Topham Hatt: Hmm.
• [Thomas backs up to Diesel's trucks]
• Narrator: As Diesel was refusing to move his long line of cars, Thomas had decided to try to move them himself.
• Ashima: [whistles as she arrives] Hello, Thomas!
• Thomas: Hello, Ashima! I'm going to practice my shunting. But first, I need to get these trucks out of the way.
• Ashima: [saw some of the Cars moving on their own] Ooh! These trucks are moving by themselves.
• Thomas: That's right! I'm going to to move them by myself.
• [He whistles, alerting Paxton, Den and Dart]
• Paxton: (gasps) It's Diesel's signal.
• Den: I didn't know Diesel had a whistle.
• Dart: Maybe it just sounds like a whistle under here.
• Paxton: Let's start pushing.
• [They start to push Thomas]
• Thomas: Cinders and ashes! Either these cars are a lot lighter than they look or else they're moving by themselves! Whoa! Stop pushing!
• Sir Topham Hatt: [is still looking when he suddenly sees Thomas] I say! Look at Thomas! I knew he was good at shunting but I never knew he was so strong.
• Thomas: Whoa!
• Diesel: No, Thomas! What are you doing? You're going to spoil my trick!
• [The signal turns red and Thomas saw it]
• Thomas: Whoa! Stop!
• Ashima: Thomas! Look out!
• Thomas and Norman: Ahhhhhh!
• [They collide clouding the screen.]

Sodor Contenders

• [The scene changes to the Steamworks where Emily, James and Henry are outside]
• Narrator: It was the day of the Great Railway Show. Sir Topham Hatt had selected all the engines that he wanted to take with him.
• James: Ta-da!
• Henry: (gasps) You both look amazing.
• Philip: (honking horn) I'm coming too! I'm gonna carry the flag!
• Victor: Gordon, hold still! The men still have to complete their final safety check.
• Gordon: Well, you're taking too long! Everyone else is ready and I'm not!
• Victor: Gordon, wait!
• Gordon: No, I'm not waiting! I have a race to win!
• [The engines and heroes are in awe as Gordon exists the Steamworks in Streamlined form]
• Emily: Wow!
• (Henry gasps)
• Philip: What's that, Gordon? On the side of you?
• Gordon: That is my new emblem. I'm not called Gordon any more. From now on, I shall be known as the Shooting Star!
• Philip: Wow! Shooting Star!
• Shooting Star: That's right, Little Fella. Just wait until my brother sees me.

Diesel Is Not Amused

• [The scene changes to the Dieselworks]
• Narrator: Meanwhile back at the Dieselworks, Diesel had some problems of his own.
• Diesel: You should have known Thomas pulling you and not me. (honk horn loudly) Does that sound like a steamie's whistle? Peep-peep!
• Paxton: But it is very hard to hear when you're under a crate, Diesel.
• Dart: Or to see.
• Diesel:
  • Stop making excuses!
  • [He pushes Dart into Happy Hook]
  • If I was under a crate, I be able to...
  • [There's a creaking sound and Happy Hook drops a crate on Diesel]
  • Ow! Get it off! Get it off!
• [Paxton, Den and Dart laugh diesel snarled then the elevated turntable lowers down and Diesel has seemingly vanished]
• Den: Whoa!
• Dart: He's disappeared!
• Paxton: He really is full of surprises!
• Diesel:
  • No, I'm not! Get me down! Get me down!
  • [The hook holding Diesel in the air come loose and Diesel falls onto the turntable with the crate still stuck on him]
  • Ouch! Get me out of here!
  • [The diesels laugh again until they heard a crashing noise outside]
  • Ow!
• Paxton: Oh.
• [The diesels went after Diesel]

Leaving Sodor

• [the scene changes back to the Steamworks]
• Sir Topham Hatt: We all realize how eager you were to take part in the Great Railway Show, Thomas.
• Diesel: Get me out of here!
• Sir Topham Hatt: But you should've known better than to pull so many cars on your own! No wonder you had an accident!
• Thomas: Yes, sir. I'm sorry, sir. But it's not as bad as it looks, either.
• Sir Topham Hatt: Of course, I didn't realize how strong you actually are. I had been thinking of you for the Shunting Challenge.
• Thomas: The Shunting Challenge? Yes, sir! I'd love to take part in the Shunting Challenge! Thank you!
• Sir Topham Hatt: But Thomas, you can't take part now. You need to be repaired and the rest of the engines are ready to go.
• Thomas: Honestly, sir. It's only my buffers and few dents. Bob's idea is good. I can still shunt trucks, sir! That's what I'm best at!
• Sir Topham Hatt: I know that, Thomas, but Percy will represent Sodor in the Shunting Challenge today.
• Percy: Me? But..
• Sir Topham Hatt: That's right, Percy. Come along. The other engines are waiting.
• Percy: Oh, Thomas. I really don't want to do this. You're much better at shunting than I am! Oh, I'm so sorry you can't go.
• Ashima: And I'm sorry too.
• Thomas: Ashima?
• [They see Ashima arriving]
• Sir Topham Hatt: Come on, Percy! We're waiting!
• [Percy sets off]
• Ashima: This is all so terribly unfair! That accident at Knapford wasn't your fault, Thomas. There was something funny about those Cars.
• Sir Topham Hatt: If everybody's ready, let's go to the show!
• [The engines whistled and set off]
• Ashima: I think I better follow them. I don't want to get lost again. Goodbye, Thomas.
• Thomas: Goodbye, Ashima. And good luck.
• [Then, she sets off]
• [Thomas sighs and the scene changes to the engines and Ashima passing through Vicarstown station with lots of people cheering as they pass]
• Philip:
  • SODOR! What's that spelled? Sodor!
  • [They pass through the station]
  • Come on, Sodor! Yes for Sodor!
• [They roll over the Vicarstown Bridge and soon arrived at a yard on the mainland]
• Engines: Wow!
• [They look around them]
• Announcer: Now, welcome one and all. We have a full programme of events today starting shortly and featuring the most incredible locomotives from every corner of the globe. Take your time to look around and admire the engines. This going to be a day to remember!
• Ashima: Well, we're here. So, good luck everybody. And may the best engines win.
• [She lefts]
• Emily: Thanks, Ashima. Good luck to you too.
• Announcer: Our first event, the Test of Strength will take place in the south-western yard at 12:30 pm, followed by the Parade of Decorated Engines which we excepted to be passing through the main yard from 1 o' clock.
• [Emily and James head off to get ready]
• Shooting Star:
  • Where I'm supposed to go?
  • [He saw his brother, motion Mai to come with him and she gets in and they go up to him]
  • Hello, brother.
• Flying Scotsman: Gordon? Is that you? I didn't recognize you at all.
• Shooting Star: I'm called the Shooting Star now.
• Flying Scotsman: (chuckles) Don't be ridiculous.
• Shooting Star: You won't think that I'm ridiculous when I win the Great Race. Humph.
• [He suddenly bumps into the buffers a bit and watches as Flying Scotsman passes. He then groans]
• Announcer: We certainly have some strong contenders and we may be in for a bit of a shock if you know what I mean. The atmosphere here is certainly electric.

Gordon’s Safety Value

• [The scene changes back to the Steamworks]
• Narrator: Back at the Steamworks on Sodor, Thomas was still feeling rather sorry for himself.
• Victor: You're not the only engine who has to stay behind, my friend. Look at me. I'm still here. And there are plenty of other engines working all over the island. Sir Topham Hatt still has a railway to run you know.
• Kevin: Please, Boss. I have a question.
• Victor: What's so important that you have to keep interrupting?
• Kevin: Er, what, what's this?
• Victor: That's Gordon's safety valve mechanism.
• Kevin: Yes. That's what I thought it was.
• Victor: [looks and gasps] Gordon's safety valve?! But that means Gordon hasn't been reassembled properly! I told him to wait for his safety check! IF Gordon's safety valve isn't working properly, he could overheat, especially at high speeds! Gordon need that part right now!
• Thomas: Take it to him, Victor! Just go!
• Victor: I can't take it, Thomas! The only one here who can take it is you!

Thomas Jumps the Bridge

• [They set off]
• Narrator:
  • So even though he wasn't fully repaired, Thomas was sent to take Gordon the part he needed.
  • [They head through Vicarstown Station and past Donald and Douglas]
  • They raced right through Vicarstown to get to the bridge.
  • [They approach the bridge but they see it beginning to raise]
  • But then there was trouble.
• Thomas:
  • (gasps) OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • [The ship honked]
  • I'VE GOT TO GET A LITTLE CROSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• I CAN STOP AGAIN NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• [He climbs up the bridge and soars into the air the adventure and Thomas has landed on the tracks on the other side]
• Samson: Thomas?
• [He notice Thomas is on the wrong tracks]
• [They hear Connor's train counterpart whistling]
• Connor: Get out of the way!
• [The signalman sees and quickly switches the points]
• [They see Hiro coming and whistles]
• Thomas:
  • HIRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • [The signalman switches the points again]
  • [They see Sidney coming]
  • SIDNEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!
  • [The signalman switches the points a 3rd time and Thomas is soon on Samson's line]
  • [He set off while the signalman collapses unconscious.]

Test of Strength

• [The scene changes to the yard where Axel is on the turntable whilst Percy and Gordon puff together]
• Announcer: Would Mrs Kyndley please return to the refreshment tent near Track 5? Mrs Kyndley to the refreshment....
• Percy: Oh. Why did Sir Topham Hatt ask me to do this? There's no way I'm going to win my event.
• Shooting Star: Well, I'm going to win mine.
• Philip:
  • [arrives] I found the track for the Great Race! Come on, Shooting Star! Follow me!
  • [Gordon starts to follow Philip until he nearly backs into Vinnie who whistles loudly]
  • Sorry. Didn't see you there.
• Vinnie: Yeah? Well, you better watch where you're going, Shorty, or you might end up being recycled!
• [He rolls away, laughing to the shock of Percy and Gordon.]

Best Decorated Engine Parade

• [The scene changes to Thomas arriving at the show]
• Narrator: At last, Thomas arrived at the show.
• Thomas:
  • Bust my buffers! This place is even bigger than I thought it would be. So many engines! How Am I Gonna find... Gordon?
  • [They see a blue tender engine ahead]
  • Gordon! Thanks goodness I've found...
  • [They see it is not Gordon]
  • Oh, You're not Gordon,
• Frieda: (scoffs) Do I look like a Gordon? My name is Frieda.
• [She puffs off]
• [The scene changes to said event]
• Announcer:
  • And they're about to bet set the challenge of a lifetime. The Test of Strength!
  • [The engines go off to watch as the flagman blew his whistle, wave his green flag and the contest started]
  • And there they go! Some of the mightiest, most formidable machines known to rail.
• Percy: Come on, Henry! Pull, pull!
• Announcer: Pulling loads that would stop other engines in their tracks! Look at the power in those pistons. Put them all together and they could move a mountain!
• Thomas:
  • [is looking for Gordon] Gordon!
  • [They saw him off in the distance]
  • Gordon! come back!
  • [Then Stephen blocked the way as he lead the parade]
  • I have something important to give to you. Gordon!
  • [Rajiv, Carlos and Yong Bao look at him and Thomas weirdly as they pass]
  • Gordon! Wait!
• Emily: [sees them] Thomas? What are you all doing here?
• James: Thomas? Hi!
• Thomas:
  • Gordon! come back! I’m Trying...
  • [Gordon is no longer in sight]
  • Gordon! come back!To get to Gordon! I have to give him something important!
• [Sir Topham Hatt look at his reflection in the trophy and the scene changes to Henry, Percy and Philip talking]
• Philip: How did you get on in the Strongest Engine competition, Henry?
• Henry: (sighs sadly) I, I came fifth.
• Philip: Wow! That's great!
• Henry: There were only five engines.
• [Philip gets it sadly and the announcer began to make an announcement about who wins the Best Decorated Engine contest]
• Announcer: And I've just been handed a piece of very exciting news. The winner of the Best Decorated Engine is...
• James: Oh, thank you, thank you, you're too kind.
• Announcer: From India...
• James: Huh? India?
• Announcer:
  • Rajiv!
  • [Sir Topham Hatt glares that his engines lose]
  • And what a splendid engine he is. Hard to imagine an engine more splendid than that.
• James: Honestly! That should have been me!
• Emily: Or Ashima! Why weren't you in the parade?
• Ashima: (giggles) I'm competing in the Shunting Challenge, Emily. Just because we're well-painted doesn't mean we can't do anything else.

Shooting Star is Coming Through

• Thomas: [are still looking when they saw Henry, Philip and Percy] Henry! Percy! Philip!
• Percy: (gasps) It's Thomas!
• Philip: Hello, Thomas! Hello, guys!
• Thomas: I need to find Gordon’s enraging it’s in emergency I saw him before but now we lost him again.
• Philip: That's because his race is about to begin. Haven't you all heard?
• Philip and Announcer: The Great Race is about to begin in 2 minutes, ladies and gentlemen.
• Thomas: No!
• Percy: How did you make your voice do that, Philip?
• Thomas: He can't race! He hasn't got his safety valve. his boiled could explode!
• Philip: Exploded? Oh, no! Follow me!
• [They set off]
• Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, the engines are lined up now for the start of the Great Race and what a line-up it is. These are some of the fastest locomotives to be found on modern railways. On Track 1, we have the French diesel-electric Etienne, who'll be trying to beat his own world record today. Next to him, we have Spencer and just listen to the local fans go wild.
• Spencer: (laughs) No, no. Thank you!
• Announcer: ...and a former world record holder in his own right. On Track 3....
• Flying Scotsman: Good luck, little brother.
• [His smoke deflectors shift forward]
• Shooting Star: I don't think I'm the one who needs luck.
• Thomas: Gordon! (whistles) Thank goodness I found...
• Shooting Star: Stop calling me that! My name is Shooting Star!
• Thomas: Okay, sorry Gordon I, I mean Falling Star, but you have to listen to me. Victor says you haven't got your safety valve!
• Shooting Star: nonsense thomas! There's no time for this. The race is starting.
• [The flagman waves the green flag]
• Announcer: They're off!
• Shooting Star: Now!
• Thomas: No, Gordon, wait! You mustn't race!
• Announcer: Oh, what's this? There's a little tank engine, out there, folks!
• [The crowd laughs as the engines blow Sir Topham Hatt's hat off and he picks it up, sheepishly]

Thomas: You could overheat! Your boiler could blow up!

Gordon:

Oh Thomas, will you stop your whining?

There’s no other engine

I won’t be outshining

Too late,

I’ve got a date!

Streamlining!

Whoosh!

The Shooting Star is coming through!

Whoosh!

Give up, there’s nothing you can do!

Whoosh!

Cause all you’ll ever see of me

Will be a shining streak of racing blue!

My clouds today all have a silver lining

I’ll see my bossy brother get some undermining

Cause I’m the cream,

The best in steam,

Streamlining!

Oh...

[His streamlining boiler starts to hiss as his face turns red]

Announcer: Etienne and Spencer are still holding the lead, but after a late start, the Shooting Star is coming up from behind! He's already overtaken the Flying Scotsman and Axel...

Flying Scotsman: Gordon? Gordon!

Gordon: That's NOT my name!

Flying Scotsman: You have to stop! Listen to me, Gordon! There's something wrong!

Gordon: I can't stop! I WON'T stop!

Announcer: I don't know what's happening, but...it looks like the Shooting Star is having some kind of trouble!

[Thomas, Percy, Henry, and Philip look on]

Gordon:

Whoosh!

The Shooting Star is coming through...!

Whoosh!

Give up, there’s nothing you can do...!

Announcer: I think it's all over!

Gordon:

Cause all you’ll see of me...

Will be-!

Hot! Hot! Hot! Hot!

Owwwwww, oh!!!

[His boiler bursts]

Announcer: It is now - his boiler has burst! [Sir Topham Hatt put his head in his hands shamefully] He's slowing down! [Gordon slows to a stop. Flying Scotsman passes by, feeling sorry for him, but has to resume the race] And the Shooting Star is out of the race! What a tragedy!

Gordon: Oh, the indignity...

• [They look at Spencer, Etienne, Axel and Flying Scotsman]
• Announcer: So it's Spencer in the lead, Etienne coming up behind, followed by Axel of Belgium and the the Flying Scotsman. And as they approached the finish line, it looks like Spencer's gonna take it. But wait! Etienne is coming up fast now!
• Etienne: Au revoir!
• Announcer: And he overtook Spencer as they cross the line. The winner is Etienne, the French diesel-electric setting a new world speed record here today!
• [He collapsed from exhaustion]

Thomas Agrees Percy to Takes Place

• [We then changes to Percy, Emily and Philip rolling together]
• Emily: Come on, Percy. You're our only hope! Sodor hasn't won anything yet.
• Percy: No, I don't want to. I'm too nervous. And anyway, Thomas is here. He's the one that should be in the Shunting Challenge, Emily. Not me.
• Philip:
  • Oh, there he is. Thomas! Thomas!
  • [He bumps into Vinnie]
  • Uh-oh.
• Vinnie: You again?
• Philip: Um, sorry?
• (Vinnie growls)
• (Philip screams)
• Carlos: [is filling up with coal when...] Fizzling fuegos!
• [He quickly reverses as Philip reverses in. The coal dust goes everywhere. Vinnie appears and spits out coal]
• Vinnie: Pah! That really does it!
• (Philip screams)
• [They set off]
• Percy: So there are all these different trucks all over the yard, Thomas.
• Emily:
  • That's right. And you have to sort them into flatbeds, boxcars and tankers. Arranging three of each type on your siding. Plus a brake van and...
  • [She notices that Thomas wasn't listening]
  • Are you listening, Thomas? You need to be ready.
• Thomas: [snap out of his thoughts in shock] Me? Why me? Percy's the one who's competing not me.
• Percy: No. Thomas, I don't want to. I might lose.
• Thomas: Nonsense, Percy. You can do anything if you put your mind to it. Just be who you are.
• Percy: I am being me, Thomas. And I want to you to do the Shunting Challenge. I really, really do.
• Thomas: But look at me! I can't possibly compete!
• Emily: Please, Thomas? You're Sodor's only hope!
• Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, there's still one more big event here at the Great Railway Show.
• Thomas: Okay. I'll do it. But I might lose, too, you know. (whistling)
• Percy: You? But you're going to lose. Are you, Thomas?
• [They head off.]

The Shunting Challenge Part 1

• [He went to work and the engines went to the slope track to watch as the announcer announced the start of the event]
• Announcer: The Shunting Challenge! Trucks and brake vans are arranged on the rails, ready to be shunted into line. The engines are already lining up for a test of not just speed but quick thinking and agility!
• Ashima: (gasps) Thomas! You're here!
• Emily: Concentrate, Thomas! They're about to begin. This is Sodor's last chance.
• [The flagman waves the green flag]
• Announcer: And they're off. This is going to be interesting!
• Percy: Go on, Thomas! Go!
• Henry: You can do it, Thomas!
• Emily: The flatbeds! Get the flatbeds! Over there!
• Raul: Points!
• [A signalman does as he says and Raul gets the flatbeds first]
• Thomas: What? Hey! I was going for those!
• Ashima: It's a competition, silly! It's a race! Points!
• [The points change]
• Ivan: Points!
• [And again]
• Gina: Points!
• [And again]
• Thomas: Points!
• [And again]
• Emily: All right, Thomas! I know you can do it.
• James: Good for you, Thomas! Good for you!
• Thomas: Points!
• Henry: That's my boy!
• Ashima: Points!
• Raul: Points! He-he-he!
• Announcer: Thomas! And it's Thomas! And it's Thomas! Look at him go! And the little blue tank engine Thomas is back in the race!
• Engines: Come on, Thomas! Come on, Thomas! You can do it, Thomas!
• [Then Philip comes racing past in front of Thomas]
• Announcer: Hold on, there's a disruption on the track.
• Thomas: What are you doing?
• Philip: I'm trying to get away! Points!
• [Vinnie appears, pushing through Gina's flatbeds]
• Announcer: And another one!
• [The flagman blew his whistle and wave a red flag to stop the challenge]

Thomas and Ashima Rescue Philip

• Announcer: It will have to be halted.
• [Philip starts to reverses but Vinnie quickly biffs him]
• Thomas: Philip! Look out!
• [Philip stops just short of the turntable well]
• Vinnie: Oh, dear, Shorty. Looks like the race is over for you. (laughs)
• Philip: Ah, yes. But this wasn't really a proper race. I'm very good at proper races! Ask Shooting Star...
• Vinnie:
  • (laughs)
  • [Then he feel something touch him]
  • Huh?
  • [It's revealed to be Thomas who coupled up to his back knuckle coupling]
• Thomas: (whistles) You leave my friend alone, you big bully!
• [He strains]
• Vinnie: So, you wanna play tug of war, do you?
• Ashima: [couples up too] Yes! Pull, Thomas, pull!
• [They pull]
• Vinnie: Oh! Oh! You got me!
• Thomas: Points!
• [The points change]
• Vinnie: Huh?
• Thomas: Go, Philip!
• Philip: [moves] Na-na-na-na!
• [The coupling breaks sending Vinnie into a pylon]
• Vinnie: Oh! Oh! Ow! Get it off me!
• Philip: Take that, you Big Bully!
• Ashima: Thomas! Watch out!
• [They notice the telegraph pole starting to fall]
• [They run and Ashima pull Thomas back just as the pole hits the track and starts sparking then a workman shuts it off]
• Thomas: Thanks.
• Ashima: No need to be thanking me, Thomas. After all, I am still going to beat you in the Shunting Challenge!
• Thomas: You are not!
• Ashima: Yes, I am!
• Vinnie: Hey, are you gonna get me out of here or what?

The Shunting Challenge Part 2

• [The shunting challenge continues]
• Ivan: Points!
• Announcer: Look at Ivan!
• Gina: Points!
• Announcer: The Italian, Gina!
• Raul: Points!
• Ashima: Points!
• Thomas: Points!
• Philip: Come on, Thomas!
• Announcer: This is what competitive shunting is all about!
• Ashima: All I need is my brake van!
• Thomas: (laughs) That's all I need, too!
• Announcer: And it looks like Thomas and Ashima are down to their last trucks!
• Thomas and Ashima: Points!
• Announcer: The first engine to position their brake van will take home the trophy! And it looks like Thomas (the late entry tank engine from Sodor) has taken....
• [Suddenly, Thomas sees one of the flatbeds from earlier on Ashima's track]
• Thomas: Ashima! Look out! Your track is blocked! Points! Points!
• [The points are switched]
• Announcer: Hold on. He's switching tracks!
• Ashima: Thomas! What are you doing?
• Percy: You'II crash!
• Emily: No, Thomas!
• [Sir Topham Hatt sees this]
• Announcer:
  • I don't believe it! He's smashed straight into a derailed flatbed!
  • [Thomas hits the flatbed]
  • Ashima is taking the lead and Ashima is first past the post.
  • [Ashima crossed the finish line first with Thomas finishing second]
  • The painted tank engine from India has raced all the way....
• Emily: He was winning!
• Philip: I told him she was trouble!
• Announcer: What an amazing finish, folks! At the last minute, Thomas the Tank Engine from Sodor seemed to forfeit the race to the little painted engine, Ashima!
• Ashima: Thomas! You... You let me win.
• Thomas: I know. But it wouldn't have been fair. Your track was blocked.
• Ashima: But I wouldn't have minded if you had won, Thomas.
• Announcer: And, uh, wait a minute. What's this? The judges seem to questioning the result. Oh, ladies and gentlemen, this is quite exceptional. The judges are about to make a special announcement.
• [One of the judges (an old man) speaks up]
  • Judge:
  • With regard to the unusual events during the final moments of the Shunting Challenge, we would to declare there to be two winners!
  • [The engines got confused]
  • Ashima, the tank engine from India, for completing the challenge in the fastest time. And, in light of the sacrifice and efforts he has made to help another engine, Thomas the Tank Engine from Sodor!
• Emily: That's my friend!
• Ashima: Congratulations, Thomas.
• Thomas: (laughs) Congratulations to you, too!
• Sir Topham Hatt:
  • Thomas the Tank Engine!
  • [Thomas look to see the Fat Controller]
  • I didn't realize that you were even here until after the Shunting Challenge started!
• Thomas: (desperately) I only came to bring Gordon his safety valve, sir, but I was too late! And then, Percy asked me if I would race in his place!
• Sir Topham Hatt: You mean he was trying to be Really Useful? Is that what you're all saying? Well, congratulations, Thomas, because you were!
• [The engines cheered]
• Percy: He was just being himself, sir!
• Thomas:
  • (singing) You can only be you~ There's nothing else you can possibly do
  • [He chuckles but then saw everyone looking at him]
  • What? Where's Ashima?

Flying Scotsman Met Gordon

• [They began searching and Gordon was puffing by when Flying Scotsman approaches]
• Announcer: So the last of the big events are over for today, ladies and gentlemen, but there's still a chance to...
• Flying Scotsman: Hey, Shooting Star!
• Gordon: Just call me "Gordon". I had quite enough of this streamlining lark.
• Flying Scotsman: Shame about the race, little brother. But you know, you engines from Sodor are made of sterner stuff than I thought.
• Gordon:
  • [stops in surprise] Why do you always have to call me "little brother"? We're exactly the same size!
  • [Flying Scotsman chuckles]
  • Oh!
• [Evening falls on the mainland as Thomas was filling up with water]
• Philip: I've looked all around, Thomas. But I can't see her.
• Emily: I don't know where she is.
• [Then Gordon puffs up with Sir Topham Hatt holding the trophy on board]
• Sir Topham Hatt: All right, everybody! Fill up those boilers and coal bunkers. It's time we went back to Sodor. We still have a railway to run!
• Emily: Yes, sir.
• Philip: Of course, sir.

Be Who You Are, and Go Far

• [They set off]
• Thomas:
  • [sighs sadly]
  • [Then they heard Ashima singing]
  • [Ashima was taking on coal while singing as Thomas approach her]
  • I thought maybe you'd gone.
• Ashima: You all didn't think I'd leave without saying goodbye, did you? But I do have to catch that ferry and go home.
• Thomas: Oh. But that means we don't have to say goodbye yet! You can come back to Sodor and catch your rail ferry from there! It stops in Brendam Docks, remember?
• Ashima: Good idea! You are clever! Sometimes.
• [The song Be Who You Are, and Go Far starts playing]

Thomas:

I can only be me

There's nothing else I can possibly be

And now I'm happy

I am who I am

I'll be the best me that I can

Ashima:

You don't need to be faster, bigger, stronger

You don't need more than six small wheels

Thomas:

I don't need to be taller or be longer

Being me now has its own appeal

All:

Be who you are and go far, go far

Be who you are, and go far

Be who you are, and go fast, go far

Be who you are, and go far

[The scene becomes night as the song continues]

We don't need to be faster, bigger, stronger

We don't need more than six small wheels

We don't need to be taller or be longer

Being me now has its own appeal

[They heading towards Vicarstown station]

Be who you are and go far, go far

Be who you are, and go far

Be who you are, and go fast, go far

Be who you are, and go fa-a-ar!

• [The engines enter the station and a newspaper article with Thomas' picture is shown]

Ending

• [Paxton are still looking for Diesel as the end credits roll]
• Paxton:
  • Try another one, Cranky!
  • [Cranky lifted the crate, nothing]
  • Nope.
  • [Cranky groans]
  • He's not under that one.
• Cranky: Come on.
• Paxton: Here?
• Cranky: That's a good one.
• [He lifts another crate, still nothing]
• Paxton: Uh, no. Not there.
• Cranky: Are you sure he came down here?
• Paxton:
  • Yes. We were following him.
  • [He moves a bunch of crates, revealing Den and Dart]
  • Everybody look for a talking crate.
• Den and Dart: Diesel!
• Cranky: Hold on! Hey! Where are you....
• Den: Diesel!
• Dart: Excuse me! Diesel!
• Paxton:
  • [appears under a spotlight] Diesel?
  • [The light goes off]
  • Shout out, Diesel!
• Den: Diesel!
• [He reverses and the lid of the crate he was looking in closes]
• Diesel:
  • Over here!
  • [The screen then shows Cranky and the three diesels looking out to a ship on which Diesel's voice can be heard]
  • (groans) I'm full of surprises!
• [The reprise He's Full of Surprises plays]

He's full of surprises

Just like he'll always be

He brings some razzle dazzle to the yard

He's full of surprises

As you can plainly see

He don't find being surprising all that hard

Some would probably say

He's only up to his old tricks

But he'd say he's a problem solver

Looking for a nice quick fix

He's full of surprises

Just like he'll always be

He brings some razzle dazzle to the rail

He's full of surprises

As you can plainly see

He's trusting his surprises to prevail

He hopes this time being surprising doesn't fail

They used to call him devious

Because he had a bit of previous

But please, you must believious

He’s not that bad

Well, maybe just a tad!
