Discussion of Destruction and Its Implications
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
I can do whatever I want! I'll get him too, with Pinchy! Ow! Pinchy, I hate it when you do that!
[Pinchy raises up high, makes chomping noises; hits him in the face]

Lost Magic and a Call for Help
Mr. Conductor
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?
[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]
Thomas
Mr. Conductor! Mr. Conductor!
Mr. Conductor
Thomas?
Thomas
Oh, Mr. Conductor; where are you?
Mr. Conductor
Thomas? How can I possibly say that I'm really useful now?
[downbeat; no response]

Anticipation of Gold Dust's Arrival
Burnett Stone
Well done, Thomas! Well done!
Diesel 10
Huh? What's going on? Hold it! No! Hold it! Puffball! Teapot! TIN KETTLE! Oh, well. Nice time of a year for a cruise!
[seeing the broken Big Dipper; falls off and Pinchy grabs the sleeper; the sleeper breaks; lands into a barge filled with sludge; chuckles nervously]
Thomas
But Mr. Conductor, you still don't have your gold dust.
Lady
I think he will soon.

Escape from Danger Under the Sun
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?

A Day of Mixed Emotions Among Friends
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
My smoke box doesn't feel sunny. It feels stuffed up.
[stuffy]
Gordon
Nasty fumes from dingy Diesel.
[chuckles]
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
How about a race, Thomas?
[vrooms]
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.

Communication Challenges in a Magical Setting
Junior
That's my shell phone. Hello?
[wakes up; pulls off his headphones, and answers his shell phone]
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
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 sighs in annoyance]
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
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.
[shocked; Junior sighs; quietly]
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
Hello?! I want my money back.
[throws out his phone]

A Moment of Reflection and Determination
Junior
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!
[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]
Diesel 10
Ah! So you lost your sparkle too, huh? Bye bye, Twinkle Toes!
Junior
Oh, it's empty.
[realizes his whistle lost all his gold dust]
Diesel 10
Here we go!
James
Junior, what are we gonna do?
Junior
We'll think of something!
Diesel 10
That's it.
[as James chuffs back away from him along with Junior]
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
James, the brains. Get us out of here!
[blows his whistle]
James
Now we are!
Diesel 10
What the…?

The Challenge of Bravery and Fear
Percy
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!
[puffs into the night by Diesel 10's Mountain; sees Splatter and Dodge at the buffers; a flock of birds fly by a tree]
Tumbleweed
Hey, partner. Excuse me, coming through, pardon me.
[rolls along]
Percy
Oh, that's just nothing. That nothing was something!
[a shed door opens slowly, then closes quickly]
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
This is a job for the boss. We'll tell him tomorrow.
[an owl hoots, scaring them]
Dodge
Yeah, tomorrow's good.

Mr. Conductor
That's what I saw in my dream! It's coming true! My universe is starting to crumble!
[notices the bridge crumbling]
Diesel 10
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!

Debate on Steam Engine Strength and Character
Diesel 10
Help you? You always need help because steam engines are cowardly, cranky worn out hunks of metal who couldn't hurt a fly!
[evil laugh]
James
No, we're not!
[a pet peeve (Sandal) is flying around his face]
Diesel 10
Yes, you are!
James
Aren't!
Diesel 10
Are! Now, I've come back to find a lost steam engine.
James
What?

I'm gonna destroy her and dominate you! And then, you ain't nothing but useless scrap! Right, Pinchy?

Confrontation Between Diesel 10 and Toby
Diesel 10
It's time to finally put Twinkle Toes lights out. This is a job FOR THE BOSS!
[Pinchy chomps]
Toby
I've got to delay him. I'm going to distract him. Hmm…hmm…
[rings his bell]
Diesel 10
It's the old teapot! Smash him!
[''Pinchy raises up high'']
Splatter
Smash him? Hold on, boss!
Dodge
You shouldn't push that!
[Pinchy pushed the shed, the roof traps them underneath]
Diesel 10
Pinchy, get back here! Don't make me come up here! I hate it when you do that!
Toby
Good show!
[chuffs backward]
Splatter
Uh, boss?
Dodge
Did you mean to let the roof fall in?
Splatter
All the way in?
Diesel 10
I always mean what I do, you rattletraps!

A Gathering of Friends and Tensions
Mr. Conductor
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.
[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]
Diesel 10
Alright, Pinchy, my little bucket of badness, time to feast yourself.
Mr. Conductor
Ahh. Now that's better. Whoa! Ahh! Whoa!
[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]
Thomas
Cinders and ashes! It's Diesel!
[alarmed]
Gordon
Diesel?! Oh, no!
Diesel 10
Hello, Twinkle Toes! I got a plan and you're not in it!
Mr. Conductor
You can't catch me, Diesel!
[blows on his whistle twice, but only a little gold comes out of it]
Diesel 10
Losing your sparkle, huh? What perfect timing. Now where is that lost engine?
[laughs evilly]
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
No, you're not! Ah- What–?! Is that…?!
[sees Mr. Conductor hold up a bag of sugar]
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
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!
[grunts and chuffs away; to his claw]
Thomas
Mr. Conductor, but what happened to your sparkle?
[after the diesel leaves]
Mr. Conductor
I don't know, Thomas, I'll just have to sleep on that.
Thomas
On your sparkle?
[confused]
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.

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

Introduction to the Magic Railroad Adventure
Mr. Conductor
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.
[voice only; first shot shows Thomas, a tank engine chuffs his way out of a tunnel]
Thomas
Hello!
[whistle blows]
Mr. Conductor
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.
[voice only; shot shows Henry pulling freight cars under a bridge]
Gordon
Five, six, seven, eight…
[waits at the station]
Thomas
Who do we appreciate? Practicing your numbers, Gordon. That's a good engine.
[pulls up beside Gordon]
Gordon
I'm counting how many seconds late you are. What does that sign say?
Thomas
Hmm… "Sodor Railway, really reliable and right on time. Signed, head of the railway, Sir Topham Hatt.
[reads the sign; Gordon scoffs]
Gordon
But you weren't on time, little Thomas.
Thomas
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 scoffs again]
Gordon
Oh, I think we can take care of ourselves.
Diesel 10
GET OUTTA MY WAY!!!! I have unfinished business here, and I wanna finish it FAST!
[rushes through the station]
Gordon
D-Diesel 10's back!
[quivers in fright]
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!
