Taglines: Take the magic journey.

Taglines: Pulling into theaters everywhere July 2000.

Mr. Conductor: [narrating] And so we've come to the happy end of our story, and it's time for all of us to go home, just like Thomas.

Thomas: Lady, you're a helpful engine.

Lady: And helping each other brings to life the magic in all of us.

Burnett Stone: Well done, Thomas! Well done!

Diesel 10: [seeing the broken Big Dipper; falls off and Pinchy grabs the sleeper; the sleeper breaks; lands into a barge filled with sludge; chuckles nervously] Huh? What's going on? Hold it! No! Hold it! Puffball! Teapot! TIN KETTLE! Oh, well. Nice time of a year for a cruise!

Thomas: But Mr. Conductor, you still don't have your gold dust.

Lady: I think he will soon.

Diesel 10: Aha! There's the blue puffball, and look who he's with! Splodge, come and destroy!

Splatter: No, you do it yourself.

Dodge: We don't like you.

Splatter: Yeah, we mean that.

Dodge: Emphatically.

Splatter: Yeah. What does that mean?

Dodge: I have no idea.

Splatter: It's a good word.

Thomas: Run, Lady! Quickly, and I'm going to help you!

Burnett: [walking on board Lady's cab] So am I, my Lady. I'll not let you down again.

Diesel 10: Ahh, who needs you, Splodge?

Lady: [gets her face in the Magic Railroad; later; Thomas toots] So, Burnett, you didn't forget about magic. It's safe inside you.

Lily: Thomas!

Thomas: You found her, and she's beautiful!

Junior: [smoke hisses from inside the Ironworks; James screams, Diesel 10 skids to a halt and catapults on him; grabs out his whistle trying to escape, but his magic fails] I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry, Cous. I haven't been whatever it is - responsible, reliable and really useful, but I will be! I will be! James!

Diesel 10: Ah! So you lost your sparkle too, huh? Bye bye, Twinkle Toes!

Junior: [realizes his whistle lost all his gold dust] Oh, it's empty.

Diesel 10: Here we go!

James: Junior, what are we gonna do?

Junior: We'll think of something!

Diesel 10: [as James chuffs back away from him along with Junior] That's it.

Junior: I found you some more, Lily. I promise. If I'm gonna be any help at all, it's now or never. I've got to use up the rest of this stuff.

Diesel 10: Are you ready?

James: No, we're not!

Junior: [blows his whistle] James, the brains. Get us out of here!

James: Now we are!

Diesel 10: [seeing that Junior and James vanished] What the…?

Thomas: I promise I'll get you home to your grandpa, Lily.

Tumbleweed: [starts leading Thomas to the buffers] Follow me, partner!

Thomas: Whoa!

Tumbleweed: Right this way to Bufferville, just a walk in the park!

Thomas: We're going though, Lily.

Tumbleweed: [bounces off the track] You're on your own from here on in, little blue buckaroo! Yee-hoo!

Thomas: [passes through the magic buffers] Little engines can do big things!

Percy: [puffs into the night by Diesel 10's Mountain; sees Splatter and Dodge at the buffers; a flock of birds fly by a tree] I am brave. I am brave. Thomas says I'm brave, so I'm brave. Oh, it's not easy being brave. Shiver my pistons. There's Splatter and Dodge. Oh, they found the buffers! Oh, now what's going to happen? Ohh!

Tumbleweed: [rolls along] Hey, partner. Excuse me, coming through, pardon me.

Percy: [a shed door opens slowly, then closes quickly] Oh, that's just nothing. That nothing was something!

Splatter: These must be the buffers Diesel's looking for.

Dodge: Are we supposed to go through them?

Splatter: Not we, you.

Dodge: Not me, you.

Splatter: [an owl hoots, scaring them] This is a job for the boss. We'll tell him tomorrow.

Dodge: Yeah, tomorrow's good.

Percy: [backs away] Oh, I'd better hurry back and warn Thomas.

Diesel 10: [sees Junior who landed on the roof after riding the Sodor Grain Windmill] Aha! Twinkle Toes Junior!

Junior: [as the beach bag falls off his shoulder] Oh, no! My beach bag!

Diesel 10: You won't be doing any surfing up here, Mr. Kahuna!

Junior: Really? Watch me.

Diesel 10: Hang on tight, Moon Doggy!

Junior: Hey, Cous! What's up, enjoying the sun?

Mr. Conductor: No, Junior. I'm not. As a matter of fact, I just escaped here after a heavy metal monster! Junior, where have you been?

Junior: We're traveling miles and miles to the Island. But I don't know if this railroad's gonna last much longer. It'll vanish like the engine!

Lily: What engine?

Junior: [sees the coal truck Thomas bumped earlier] The engine that used to travel on this railroad. Cous and I never saw it. I don't know what happened to it. Hey, what's that doing here?

Splatter: Uh, so Boss?

Dodge: How come you let Twinkle Toes escape?

Diesel 10: Oh, that. Uh…why, I did that on purpose; you know. I was testing him to see if he could escape.

Splatter: Liar, liar.

Dodge: Pants on fire.

Splatter: Does he wear pants?

Dodge: Well, training pants.

Diesel 10: All right! Playtime's over, Splodge!

Splatter/Dodge: Uh oh!

Diesel 10: [Pinchy raises the high level on the quarry tower, causing the tower to spill coal all over him as the other engines laugh at him] Now it's time for the next lesson. I call it "How to stop being stupid". Oh, well that's gonna ruin my facial!

Diesel 10: [to Mr. Conductor] Okay, Twinkle Toes. I know about the buffers.

Mr. Conductor: [notices the bridge crumbling] That's what I saw in my dream! It's coming true! My universe is starting to crumble!

Diesel 10: [Mr. Conductor grabs a blue pair of scissors] And I know about the magic railway. And when I find that engine, you and all those puffballs will be history. Now tell me where the buffers are now! You got 10 seconds!

Diesel 10: [Pinchy chomps] It's time to finally put Twinkle Toes lights out. This is a job FOR THE BOSS!

Toby: [rings his bell] I've got to delay him. I'm going to distract him. Hmm…hmm…

Diesel 10: [''Pinchy raises up high''] It's the old teapot! Smash him!

Splatter: Smash him? Hold on, boss!

Dodge: [Pinchy pushed the shed, the roof traps them underneath] You shouldn't push that!

Diesel 10: Pinchy, get back here! Don't make me come up here! I hate it when you do that!

Toby: [chuffs backward] Good show!

Splatter: Uh, boss?

Dodge: Did you mean to let the roof fall in?

Splatter: All the way in?

Diesel 10: [groans] I always mean what I do, you rattletraps!

Mr. Conductor: [''voice only] Diesel was in a dump, but the steam engines were still right on track.

Singers: ♪ He's a really useful engine, you know ♪

Thomas: [chuffs backwards past a Sir Topham Hatt sign and passes a sick Henry] Morning, Henry. What's the matter?

Henry: [sniffs] I've got… boiler ache.

Thomas: And I'm collecting one, two, three, four, five, six trucks of special Island of Sodor coal for you.

Henry: [sneezes] Oh, thank you, Thomas. Special coal will make me feel much better!

Thomas: [backs into the trucks] I wish I could make Mr. Conductor feel better too by finding him.

Bertie: Hello, Thomas and your five coal trucks! Vroom-vroom!

Thomas: Five? But I'm supposed to have six.

Thomas: [thought of what Mr. Conductor said] The journey gets bumpier and bumpier. That's what Mr. Conductor told me.

Mr. Conductor: [sleeping on the grass in front of some bushes. Images show Shining Time Station with bad weather; voice only, echoing; the ice cream cone on the sign tilts and image shows a road with the word "Stop" on it, a yellow balloon floats past it; the phone booth the juggler was in is empty, balls were scattered all over the place; the bouquet is tilting, the bridge begins to crumble; last shot shows Lady's wheels and coupling rods] The magic is gone! Why did I take my gold dust for granted? I can't help without my gold dust. What is the source of my gold dust? Is someone there? Thomas, is that you?

Thomas: Mr. Conductor! Mr. Conductor!

Mr. Conductor: Thomas?

Thomas: Oh, Mr. Conductor; where are you?

Mr. Conductor: [downbeat; no response] Thomas? How can I possibly say that I'm really useful now?

Junior: [wakes up; pulls off his headphones, and answers his shell phone] That's my shell phone. Hello?

Mr. Conductor: Junior? Junior, is that you?!

Junior: Oh, hi, Cous! Uh, are you in a tunnel? This isn't a very good line.

Mr. Conductor: Junior, where are you?!

Junior: Um, I'm in paradise. I just got in Cloud 9 and here I am.

Mr. Conductor: Junior, listen to me. You've got to come to the Island of Sodor RIGHT NOW!

Junior: Now? But I'm waiting on a perfect wave!

Mr. Conductor: [Junior sighs in annoyance] Oh, no. You're not, you're coming here! You have to help me find the source of all our family's gold dust.

Junior: What is the source?

Mr. Conductor: That's the trouble, Junior. I haven't a clue!

Junior: And I've used up most of my gold dust, too.

Mr. Conductor: [shocked; Junior sighs; quietly] What?! Then go to Shining Time Station first. And in my signal-house in the box under the staircase, you'll find my emergency whistle with the last of my supply. Please take care of this, Junior, and… Don't talk to anyone about the buffers.

Junior: What buffers? This is a really bad line! Hello! My shell phone's not working properly!

Mr. Conductor: Junior, you got to come here right away! I'm counting on you!

Junior: [throws out his phone] Hello?! I want my money back.

Bertie: Smile, you steamers. It's a sunny day. Vroom-vroom!

James: It's not sunny, cause Mr. C's not at the windmill, I looked!

Thomas: I think his sparkle's all gone.

Henry: [stuffy] My smoke box doesn't feel sunny. It feels stuffed up.

Gordon: [chuckles] Nasty fumes from dingy Diesel.

Henry: And Diesel is after the lost engine.

Toby: And if he finds her, I fear that will destroy us all.

Gordon: What, even an engine as big as me?!

Toby: Yes, Gordon, even you.

Thomas: Ahh-choo!

James: Say it, don't spray it, Thomas!

Thomas: I've still got sneezing powder up my funnel. Now I'm going to look for Mr. Conductor!

Toby: Let us get back to work. That's the way he would want.

Bertie: [vrooms] How about a race, Thomas?

Thomas: Sorry, Bertie. I can't today. I need to be a really useful engine and solve some mysteries too, instead!

Bertie: I guess that means I win! Perhaps another day.

Mr. Conductor: [voice only, as Lily finds the right train at the station along with Mutt who joins in] Mutt was feeling pleased to himself. He had put Lily on the wrong train, but he knew he had done so for the right reasons.

Female Singer: ♪ I know how the moon must feel ♪

Mr. Conductor: [shocked, finding out Shining Time is in deep trouble] What's going wrong with our railroad and why? My universe is in danger! I've got to find more gold dust!

Mr. Conductor: [picks up a baseball bat; chuckles; catches a beach ball; to the beach ball; to the bat; makes the bat hit the ball; mock disappointment; throws bat on his bed and makes his hot cocoa; Diesel 10 appears and laughs evilly and Mr. Conductor sips cocoa; adds sugar to cocoa] So, who dropped the ball then? Oh, there you are. I'd like a nice cup of hot cocoa. Would you fellas care to join me? No? What would you rather do instead? Go outside and play? Well, I can understand that. What do you think? Why do you keep hitting him like that? You're gonna have to have a time out. Just a little sweeter, I think.

Diesel 10: Alright, Pinchy, my little bucket of badness, time to feast yourself.

Mr. Conductor: [sips cocoa again, and is satisfied; Diesel 10 tears off part of the sheds; removes his night cap and puts on his conductor's hat, as the steam engines wake up in alarm, and Diesel 10 tears off more of the sheds and laughs evilly] Ahh. Now that's better. Whoa! Ahh! Whoa!

Thomas: [alarmed] Cinders and ashes! It's Diesel!

Gordon: Diesel?! Oh, no!

Diesel 10: Hello, Twinkle Toes! I got a plan and you're not in it!

Mr. Conductor: [blows on his whistle twice, but only a little gold comes out of it] You can't catch me, Diesel!

Diesel 10: [laughs evilly] Losing your sparkle, huh? What perfect timing. Now where is that lost engine?

Mr. Conductor: You won't find her here.

Diesel 10: You're not clever enough to stop me.

Mr. Conductor: Oh, yes I am!

Diesel 10: [sees Mr. Conductor hold up a bag of sugar] No, you're not! Ah- What–?! Is that…?!

Mr. Conductor: That's right, it's sugar, Diesel! And if I throw this in your tank, it'll seize you up for good!

Diesel 10: [grunts and chuffs away; to his claw] Make the most of tonight, Twinkle Toes, because you won't like tomorrow! Neither will that… that line of tin kettles! Oh, shut up, Pinchy!

Thomas: [after the diesel leaves] Mr. Conductor, but what happened to your sparkle?

Mr. Conductor: I don't know, Thomas, I'll just have to sleep on that.

Thomas: [confused] On your sparkle?

Mr. Conductor: No, Thomas. On the problem of what happened to it.

Percy: Oh, but Mr. Conductor, without your sparkle or the Lost Engine, you can't travel here to help us anymore.

Mr. Conductor: I'll solve the problem. You just go to sleep now.

Percy: Easy for you to say.

Mr. Conductor: [picks up a phone after falling to the floor; stands up] Oh, good afternoon; sir! A real honor, sir. Like my family before me. And how is Lady Hatt? Yes. Watch out for Diesel, definitely. Keep an eye on Henry's health; sir. Yes, sir. The 3 Rs. Reading, writing and arithmetic. I mean…I will be responsible… reliable… and really useful. Yes, sir, we will all get a good night's sleep. Looking forward to a hard day tomorrow. Goodbye, sir.

Toby: What's important is to stand up on our own wheels to Diesel.

Henry: Toby's right. Diesel knows that the lost engine in the legend really exists.

James: What engine?

Percy: What legend?

Henry: Of an engine who's magic makes her more powerful than Diesel will ever be. That's why he wants to find her.

Percy: Then we'd better find her, first.

James: [puffs out of the shed] Leave it to the big engines, Percy.

Lily: Grandpa's been so sad since Grandma Tasha died, and he never comes here to see us.

Mrs. Stone: Well, maybe your visit will cheer him up. Did you get his present?

Lily: Here. I'm making him a friendship bracelet.

Mrs. Stone: Honey, that's beautiful.

Lily: But I'd rather just stay here with you.

Mrs. Stone: [she and Lily hug] I know. Come here.

Lily: I'm gonna go up this way.

Mrs. Stone: Okay. Be careful.

Lily: You always say that.

Mrs. Stone: See you in a minute.

Lily: You're coming with me to Grandpa's, Bluebird. I know how much you like to travel.

Mr. Conductor: [to Mutt; Mutt rolls his face at him; Mutt whines, looks away; bends down; Mutt barks] Old Smokey, you stay right here til I get back! There you are. Is something wrong here? What kind of an answer is that? I'm going to be late. I'll get back as fast as I can. I have to concentrate now; Mutt. I'm suddenly having problems with my sparkle. Mutt? Goodbye, Mutt. Sparkle, sparkle, sparkle!

Diesel 10: Not the one I want. She escaped me once before as long as she exists so do the others but if she can be destroyed…

Splatter: Destroyed?

Dodge: Did you say "destroyed"?

Splatter: The "d" word?

Dodge: Like hurt?

Diesel 10: Yeah, destroyed!

Splatter: Uh, there's one small problem; boss.

Dodge: Yeah, Mr. Conductor's coming, and he won't let you destroy her.

Splatter: He won't let you.

Diesel 10: [Pinchy raises up high, makes chomping noises; hits him in the face] I can do whatever I want! I'll get him too, with Pinchy! Ow! Pinchy, I hate it when you do that!

Burnett Stone: [sees Patch with a flashlight] How did you find me here?

Patch: I found the entrance to your workshop ages ago, but I would never tell anybody.

Diesel 10: [evil laugh] Help you? You always need help because steam engines are cowardly, cranky worn out hunks of metal who couldn't hurt a fly!

James: [a pet peeve (Sandal) is flying around his face] No, we're not!

Diesel 10: Yes, you are!

James: Aren't!

Diesel 10: Are! Now, I've come back to find a lost steam engine.

James: What?

Diesel 10: [Pinchy makes chomping noises] I'm gonna destroy her and dominate you! And then, you ain't nothing but useless scrap! Right, Pinchy?

Mr. Conductor: [voice only; first shot shows Thomas, a tank engine chuffs his way out of a tunnel] Hello, I'm Mr. Conductor and I'm going to tell you a story about trains folks far apart and the Magic Railroad that brought them together. Every story like a railroad has its heroes. Meet Thomas. He's our number one hero.

Thomas: [whistle blows] Hello!

Mr. Conductor: [voice only; shot shows Henry pulling freight cars under a bridge] But he's running a little late today. This is the Island of Sodor where Thomas and his friends live. It's at one end of my special universe. I like helping out here. By the invitation of Sir Topham Hatt, of course.

Gordon: [waits at the station] Five, six, seven, eight…

Thomas: [pulls up beside Gordon] Who do we appreciate? Practicing your numbers, Gordon. That's a good engine.

Gordon: I'm counting how many seconds late you are. What does that sign say?

Thomas: [reads the sign; Gordon scoffs] Hmm… "Sodor Railway, really reliable and right on time. Signed, head of the railway, Sir Topham Hatt.

Gordon: But you weren't on time, little Thomas.

Thomas: [Gordon scoffs again] And you're being bossy, Gordon. Now, please excuse me. I'm meeting Mr. Conductor. He's looking after us while Sir Topham Hatt takes a much needed holiday.

Gordon: Oh, I think we can take care of ourselves.

Diesel 10: [rushes through the station] GET OUTTA MY WAY!!!! I have unfinished business here, and I wanna finish it FAST!

Gordon: [quivers in fright] D-Diesel 10's back!

Thomas: Yes, 10 out of 10 for devious deeds and brutal strength! The blast from the past who hates steam engines!

Gordon: Maybe we do need Mr. Conductor here after all. On time!
