The Irelanders' Adventures of Thomas and Friends: The Adventure Begins/Transcript

This is the script for The Irelanders' Adventures of Thomas and Friends: The Adventure Begins Sploshy: Splish, Splash, Splosh. I can't wait for our first adventure to the Island of Sodor. Connor Lacey: Yes, I know you're excited, Sploshy. But we need to very careful on this one. Sploshy: Why, Connor? It's near your home, Ireland is it? Connor Lacey: Sure. Norman Price: Why do we need to be careful, Connor? Nothing's going to happen. Connor Lacey: That's what they always say. Now come on, let's get going. [The ship heads to the Island of Sodor and eventually arrives] [The scene changes to overview of Sodor] Gordon: Express coming through! [Gordon passes Henry then James as they pass through Kellsthorpe Road Station. He then chuffs up a hill then goes down the other side] Gordon: Wheeeee! [The scene then changes to an overview of Knapford and the title pops up: The Irelanders' Adventures of Thomas and Friends: The Adventure Begins] Narrator: A long time ago, on the island of Sodor, there was a little railway known as the North Western. The smallest engine working on the mainline was Edward. He helped with shunting trucks and coaches in the yard for the larger engines. [Edward whistles as he reverses] Narrator: The biggest engine on the railway was Gordon. He loved pulling the express. But he didn't much care for some of his other jobs. Gordon: A goods train. A goods train. The shame of it. Oh, the shame of it. Edward: Oh, Gordon, it can't be that bad. Gordon: Yes, Edward, it is. I am a very important engine. But thankfully, I won't have to pull goods trains for long. Not after the new engine gets here. Edward: New engine. What new engine? Ah. [Stops when he realizes he's still coupled to a line of trucks then is uncoupled and follows Gordon] Gordon: Haven't you heard? The Fat Controller is getting another engine. That last one he got, with the wooden brake blocks, was much too small to be really useful. [James puffs into view] James: But I'm not small. [Gordon and Edward screech to a halt with the trucks behind Gordon bumping into each other. Gordon groans as he stops] Trucks: Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Gordon: Oooooh. James. James: I might not be as big as you, Gordon, but I'm bigger than Edward. And there's nothing wrong with wooden brake blocks either. Gordon: Unless they catch fire, of course. Can you move on now please, James? You're blocking my way. [So, James puffs forward so that Gordon can pass. James then gives an irritated look] James: My brakes don't catch fire. [Gordon whistles] James: They're just as good as yours. [The scene changes to Connor and his friends walking through Sodor] James Jones: Excuse me but why are we on Sodor, Connor? Connor Lacey: Because The Fat Controller has an assignment for us. Lightning McQueen; What is it, Connor? Connor Lacey: You'll see, Lightning. You'll see. [Later, Gordon is seen on the line to Gordon's Hill] Narrator: Gordon didn't like pulling heavy goods trains. But he especially didn't like pulling them up the big hill on the mainline. [The trucks hold Gordon back and he notices. He tries to pull them up the hill but then he stops] Gordon: Oh. (strains) Oh, I give up. [Gordon's driver and fireman peek out of the cab] Gordon's driver: What's he up to now? [gets out and walks up to Gordon's front] Come on, Gordon, you're not even trying. Gordon: Ha. I can't do it. Those noisy trucks hold an engine. If they were coaches, now that would be different. [At Knapford, in the Fat Controller's office, the phone rings. He picks it up] The Fat Controller: Hello. [realizes he's got the phone the wrong way round and turns it the right way up] Ahem. Hello? Narrator: The man in charge of the little railway was Sir Topham Hatt. The Fat Controller: I see. Narrator: But the engines used to call him The Fat Controller. The Fat Controller: I see. Narrator: It was his job to make sure all the trains ran on time. The Fat Controller: Oh, dear. Okay. Goodbye. [puts the phone down] Hmmm. [Later, in the yard, The Fat Controller approaches Edward] The Fat Controller: Hello, Edward. I'm afraid Gordon needs your help. Edward: My help, Sir? Are you sure? The Fat Controller: Yes. He can't get up the hill with his goods trucks, apparently. Edward: (whistles) Alright, Sir. I'm on my way. [The scene changes to Gordon trying to get up the hill. Edward arrives] Edward: Hello, Gordon. I've come to push. Gordon: Huh. No use at all. A small engine like you. Edward: Humph. (He couples up to Gordon's brake van and starts to push) Edward: Oh, please Gordon, try. Gordon: All right, all right. [Gordon tries going up while Edward pushes] Gordon: I can't do it. Edward: I will do it. Gordon: I can't do it. Edward: I will do it. Gordon: I can't do it. Edward: I will do it. [They reach the top and Gordon puffs down the other side] Gordon: I've done it. I've done it! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! I knew I could do it! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Edward: Not even so much as a "thank you". Humph. Connor Lacey: Hello? Edward: Bust my buffers. Who are you?

You come from Ireland, near Sodor. It is good to finally meet you all. Dusty Crophopper: It sure is. Edward: Wait a minute. Did I heard that one of you is called James? C.Y.T.R.O.: Yes. James Jones: That would be me. Fireman Sam: Why, is there an engine named James? Edward: Yes, Sam. He's a black tender engine with the number 5 and wooden brakes. He's always showing off a lot. Fireman Sam: I see. Edward: Anyway, what brings you and your friends to Sodor, Connor? Connor Lacey: Well, we have recently been told by the Fat Controller that he has an assignment for us. Edward: And what's that? Lightning McQueen: We're not sure yet. But we'll find out when we see him. Edward: Well, if you sure since the Fat Controller is very busy because he's bringing a new engine to help on the North Western Railway. Connor Lacey: Of course we're sure. And really? Edward: Yes, really. I can take you to Knapford if you like. Connor Lacey: Thanks, Edward. Edward: Okay, everyone. Let's go. [Later, Edward is back in Knapford Yard shunting some trucks] Narrator: Later, Edward and the Irelanders were back in the yard. When they heard a voice they'd never heard before. Male voice: Excuse me. Can you tell me where Knapford is? James: But this is Knapford. Where are you from? Dottie: Do you hear that? Lightning McQueen: I heard it. Male voice: Oh, uh, Brighton on the mainland. Edward: (gasps) The Fat Controller's new engine! Duchess Swan: Let's go and meet him! Male voice: That's where all the best tank engines come from. James: Is it really? Male voice: I'm really happy to be here. I've never been to Sodor before. Edward: (gasps) Narrator: Edward couldn't believe his eyes. Nor could the Irelanders. The Irelanders: Whoa. Narrator: The new engine had six small wheels, a short stumpy boiler, a short stumpy dome and a short stumpy funnel. Male Voice: ...And that's why I've always wanted to come here. I... (notice Edward and The Irelanders staring) Hello? What's the matter? Do I have soot on my face? Edward: No. It's just... well... You're not a big engine. Tank engine: Yes, I am. James: (laughs) No you're not. Tank engine: Well, I was big enough to do my own work on the mainland. [puffs away] Edward: Wait. Wait. All I meant was you're not as big as I am. Norman Price: He didn't mean to be offensive. Spud the Screcrow: We thought you would be bigger like a tender engine. Tank engine: I might not be as big as him. But I'm very hard working. [Gordon whistles as he arrives] Tank engine: (gasps) Gordon: (chuckles) And who are you? Tank engine: I'm Thomas. Edward: The new engine. Gordon: Oh dear. The Fat Controller must have made a terrible mistake. I think he was expecting someone Really Useful. Thomas: I am really useful. Gordon: Ha. For fetching coaches, perhaps. Oh well. If you stick around long enough, you might be lucky enough to see me pulling the express. (whistles) That will a fine sight for you. [He puffed away with Thomas scowling] Edward: (sighs) Sorry about Gordon, Thomas. I'm afraid he's often like that. I'm Edward, by the way. Fireman Sam: I'm Fireman Sam.

James Jones: My name is James as well. James: What? You have the same name as me? James Jones: Yes. Thomas: The Irelanders on the Island of Sodor?! Oh! My friends on the mainland would be so jealous! I have heard so much about you. Fireman Sam: Me and my friends' hometown, Pontypandy is in Wales which is on the mainland. Connor Lacey: Yes. That's where Fireman Sam and his friends are from. I come from Ireland which is near the mainland as well. Thomas: Really?! Wow! The Fat Controller: Hello, hello, hello. James: And here comes the Fat... Edward: Er, Sir Topham Hatt. The Fat Controller: (laughs) Oh. You must be Thomas, my new tank engine. Welcome to Sodor. I am Sir Topham Hatt. Thomas: Pleased to meet you. [There's a awkward moment]

The Fat Controller: (clears throat)

Edward: [whispering] Sir. You're supposed to call him sir.

Thomas: Oh. Pleased to meet you, sir.

The Fat Controller: I'm very pleased to meet you too.

Connor Lacey: We're here for our assignment, Sir.

The Fat Controller: Ah, you must be the Irelanders.

Fireman Sam: Yes, that's us. The Fat Controller: I'm pleased to meet you. Especially you Connor Lacey. (shake hands with Connor) Connor Lacey: So are we. Now what's our assignment? The Fat Controller: Oh, your assignment is to help Thomas learn how to be Really Useful. Fireman Sam: Absolutely, Sir, we can do that. No problem. Station Officer Steele: I'II make sure it goes well, Sir Topham. The Fat Controller: Excellent. I've heard of your adventures and how you got framed. I'm sorry for your father's death. Connor Lacey: It's okay. The Fat Controller: But I'm curious. How do you become leader of your team when you're just a young teenager? Connor Lacey: Well, I was only this age when I first started the Irelanders. Fireman Sam: I was wondering the same thing when he first came to Pontypandy. The Fat Controller: I see. (to Thomas) Now, as you can see, I'm a very busy man and this is a very busy railway, so I expect you to make yourself Really Useful right away. Edward will show you what to do. The Irelanders will help you as well. [He turns to leave but tripped] The Fat Controller: Oh. Yes. Really Useful. Carry on. This way, lads. Oh. [he walks away] [Edward, James, Thomas and the Irelanders laugh] Edward, James, Thomas and the Irelanders: (laughs) Melody: Oh, he is funny. [The scene then changes to Thomas reversing as Really Useful Engine (The Adventure Begins version) begins playing in the background] [The scene then cuts to coal falling into Thomas' bunker but it makes him cough] [The scene then cuts to Thomas behind Gordon, who groans and rolls his eyes] [Then scene then cuts to Thomas and Edward puffing together but Thomas bumps into Edward] Thomas: Oops. Sorry. Sparky: Watch out for those trucks, Thomas! [Thomas reverses but bumps into a line of trucks] Thomas: [groans] Auriana: This is gonna be a lot harder than we thought. [Edward brings the express coaches to Gordon who look away when Thomas puff up, looking at the junction until James whistles behind him and he needs to move out of the way] Gordon: Oh, that's very useful, isn't it? Having another small engine to get in the way. Melody: He's still learning, Gordon. Edward: She's right. We're just showing him what to do. [Gordon pulls away and Thomas keeps moving but passes a red signal] Edward: Thomas! Thomas: Uh, oh! [He put on his brakes and stops just as Henry passes. Thomas looks back Gordon, who is glaring, and chuckles nervously as James laugh at him] Thomas: (chuckles nervously) James: (laughs at Thomas) Station Officer Steele: (groans and shook his head) Fireman Sam: Sounds like someone else we know who's always getting into mishaps. [he's looking at Elvis] Elvis Cridlington: I can't help it, Sam. He's learning and I already know how to be a fireman and I still cause accidents unintentionally. Penny Morris: And we don't mind that, Elvis. [Later, Thomas is seen shunting some trucks but bumps into something and the heroes cringe] Thomas: Oh! (groans) [Later, he's seen in Knapford Station with people waving and smiling at him. Thomas smiles back but then James' whistle is heard] James: Get out of the way! [Thomas' reverses in a panic as James pulls in] [Later, Thomas is sat under the coal hopper when he spots Gordon, who's resting on a siding. Edward and the heroes are with him] Thomas: (giggles) Watch this! [Edward and the heroes watch as Thomas puffs up to Gordon. The song comes to a close as Thomas whistles loudly, making Gordon wake up startled] Gordon: Oh! Thomas: Wake up, lazybones! Why don't you work hard like me? (laughs) Hee-hee-hee. [Edward and the heroes also laugh as they and Thomas puff away. Gordon groans as dark clouds start to fill the sky. That night] Narrator: That evening, Thomas was the smallest engine at Tidmouth Sheds. Connor Lacey: Well, this is a fine place to spend the night. Narrator: But he was glad that his new friends Edward and the Irelanders were there too. Thomas: (sighs) I like being on Sodor, Edward. I just can't wait until I get to pull trains. Gordon: Hmm. Edward: You better learn how to shunt trucks and coaches first, Thomas. Thomas: Oh. I'II soon get the hang of shunting Edward, but I want to see the world. Gordon: (groans) Connor Lacey: I'm a world-traveler myself. Robonyan: That's right. Thomas: You are? Connor Lacey: Yes, I am. [He brings out the scrapbook and shows him some of the photos] Thomas: Wow. Are those have your adventures? Connor Lacey: Yes. All the way from Modesto, California all the way to LA. Thomas: Who's that boy with that yellow creature? Connor Lacey: Oh, that's Ash Ketchum and his Pokémon partner, Pikachu. Thomas: What's Pokemon? Connor Lacey: A Pokémon is a creature with special abilities. There are Electric Types, Rock Types, Water Types, Fire Types, Grass Types and Ghost Types. Thomas: I see. What's next? [The page changes to a photo of the Monsters vs. Aliens] Thomas: Whoa. Who is the giant girl, the big bug, that blob with an eye and that fish thing? Connor Lacey: That's Susan Murphy, also known as Ginormica, B.O.B, Dr. Cockroach, The Missing Link and Insect-O-Saurus. Thomas: But I thought that there's no such thing as monsters. Connor Lacey: Maybe not in this world, but in the Monsters vs. Aliens world there is. [He turns the page to a photo of the Power Rangers] Thomas: Who are those heroes with those amazing supersuits and helmets? Connor Lacey: Those are the Power Rangers. Sheriff: We met these here kids long after we met Connor. Thomas: You must have lots of adventures, Connor. Connor Lacey: Yes. I have. Thomas: I also heard that Linda Ryan framed your mom for your father's death. I'm sorry about that. Connor Lacey: It's okay. Thomas: You're so lucky, Connor. I wish I can have adventures. Fireman Sam: All in good time, Thomas. All in good time. Fillmore: You need to learn how to work on the railway first, man. Thomas: I know, Fillmore but after that, I'II get to see the world. Gordon: (groans) [Henry arrives and went on the turntable] Henry: (whimpers) Faster, faster, faster. Oh. Turn, turn, turn. Trevor Evans: Who's that big green engine, Edward? Edward: That's Henry. He's a very kind engine but he's a bit of a worrier. [Thunder rumbles and a drop of rain lands on Henry] Henry: Oh. Edward: And he doesn't like rain. [Henry reverses into a berth beside Thomas, looks at him, chuckles nervously, then reverse further in as it starts to rain] Edward: Once, an engine attached to a long train, was afraid of a few drops of rain. [A CGI flashback of "The Sad Story of Henry" begins playing as a drop of rain lands on Henry] Henry: Ah. [Henry looks up then spots a tunnel ahead. He then rushes inside] Edward: He rushed into a tunnel and squeak through his funnel and never came out again. Henry: Oh. Edward: (laughs) His driver and fireman argued with him but he wouldn't budge. "The rain will spoil my lovely green paint and red stripes" he said. [The scene then changes to the flashback again as Henry's passengers are shown arguing with Henry] Edward: So, the passengers all got out and argued with him too. But he wouldn't move, even after the rain had stopped. So The Fat Controller told the guard to get a rope and... The Fat Controller: 1. 2. 3. Pull! Edward: Everyone pulled..... The Fat Controller: Come on! Pull harder. Come on everyone. He's not moving. Edward: Except The Fat Controller. The Fat Controller: (clears throat) My er, doctor has forbidden me to pull! Edward: When that didn't work, they tried pushing from the other end. The Fat Controller: 1, 2, 3, push. Everybody push! Harder. Come on. Put your backs into it. [The passengers pushed Henry but they can't get Henry to get out of the tunnel] [They look at the Fat Controller] The Fat Controller: My doctor has also forbidden me to push! [We then see James puffing up to the back of Henry's coaches as everyone watches] Edward: They tried pushing with an engine too. [James blows his whistle then tries to push Henry out but he fights back] Edward: But nothing worked. [The Fat Controller looks cross and the flashback ended] Edward: In the end, they took up the old rails, built a wall in front of him and left him there. Connor Lacey: No way! Edward: The Fat Controller let him out eventually. After Gordon broke his safety valve and couldn't pull the express... Gordon: Oh, alright. Storytime is over. Some of us need to get some sleep. Thomas and Edward: Oh. Thomas: (giggles) [The Irelanders laugh too] Fireman Sam: Walled up in a tunnel. Honestly. Ramone: Tell me about it, man. Mayday: I think we better get some sleep. Dusty: Mayday's right, guys. Big day tomorrow. Sarge: You heard my old friend and racing plane. Get to bed. Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. Lightning McQueen: Sarge, we're not soldiers you know. Sarge: Sorry, can't help it. I'm a army jeep. I was in the army you know. Station Officer Steele: Come on, firefighters. Everyone off to bed. Firefighters: Yes, Station Officer Steele. Connor Lacey: Good night. [The Irelanders all went to bed] [The scene changes to the next morning at the Steamworks where Thomas was sent to be repainted] Narrator: The next morning, The Fat Controller sent Thomas to the Steamworks to be repainted in the colours he like to see on the North Western Railway. [The workmen firstly scrape off Thomas' old green paint which makes him giggle. Then, a painter holds a paint can of pink paint which is an undercoat to keep the water out. Thomas is at first upset but then understands when a painter show him a tin of blue paint] Thomas: Oh. [The workmen paint over the pink undercoat and paint on red stripes on the boiler while another accidentally spill a drop of black paint on Thomas' nose and rub it off, making him giggle and the number 1 is painted on the side of his boiler] Thomas: Ahh. (whistles) [Later, the scene changes to Knapford Yard where Edward is reversing] Thomas: Edward! Irelanders! (whistles) Look, Edward! Look! I'm blue, just like you! Holly O'Hair: Wow, Thomas! Fireman Sam: Very impressive! Connor Lacey: I'm impressed. Frankie Stein: Electrifying! Howleen Wolf: A-Wooo! Edward: Oh, yes. And you're number 1. Robonyan: Cool! Thomas: (gasp) Does that mean I'm the best? Gordon: (whistles) The last number 1 was a coffeepot. James: (chuckles) Thomas: Coffeepot? Connor Lacey: What does Gordon mean by that, Edward? Edward: Coffeepot is just a nickname for an engine with a boiler that points up in the air. Like those things people make coffee with. (whistles) The coffeepot engines used to look after one of the branch lines but they don't work there now. Although, I think the last one might still be on a siding. Gordon: Stop chatting and bring me my coaches. (whistles) James: (whistles) [They head off] Edward: (sighs) You better do it Thomas. I have a train to pull today. Fireman Sam: Don't worry, Edward. We'll help him. Connor Lacey: And I know the Irelanders can help anyone either it be a fellow hero or a another member of the team. Thomas: But I thought we were going to be working together. Edward: We are. Just not all the time. Gordon: (whistles) Oh. My coaches! Dusty Crophopper: Don't worry, Thomas. We'II help you to get them. Spud the Scarecrow: Yeah. Otherwise, Gordon will keep demanding us and being late. [Thomas and the Irelanders goes to the siding where two brown coaches are asleep] Clarabel: Oh! Annie: I say. Where are you taking us? Thomas: To Gordon. It's time for the Express. Annie and Clarabel: But we're not the Express coaches. Howleen Wolf: Oops. Guys. I think we made a mistake. Thomas: Oh. Robecca Steam: If you're not the Express coaches then who are you? Annie: I am Annie. And she is Clarabel. Clarabel: And the Express coaches are on the other sidings. Connor Lacey: They're right. Look! Thomas: Oh. We're terribly sorry your Ladyships. You see I'm new around here. And my friends are helping me out. I'm Thomas. (whistles)

[He uncouples from the two and reverses] Connor Lacey: We're terribly sorry. I'm Connor Lacey and this is my team, the Irelanders. Annie: Oh. What a sweet little engine. (laughs) Clarabel: Indeed, Annie. Delightful. Fireman Sam: Ahem. Annie: Sorry. We weren't listening. Fireman Sam: That's all you two. I'm Fireman Sam. This is Penny Morris, Elvis Cridlington, Station Officer Steele, Tom Thomas, my niece and nephew, Sarah and James, Bronwyn Jones, my brother, Charlie Jones, Helen Flood, Mike Flood, Mandy Flood, Dilys Price, Norman Price, Derek Price, Trevor Evans and Chief Fire Officer Boyce. Spud the Scarecrow: Hello, I'm Spud. I'm a scarecrow. Tubb: I'm Tubb. This is Sploshy, Terence, Reg, Finbar, Amelia and Winona. Annie: It's nice to meet you all. (to Clarabel) He'II go far, Clarabel. Just you wait and see.

[The scene changes to Knapford Station where the heroes saw Henry feeling weak]

Fireman Sam: Oh, dear. That doesn't look good.

Connor Lacey: Are you okay, Henry? You don't sound too good.

Henry: Sorry, Connor. It's just sometimes I don't have enough steam to work. My system's out of order. It happens a lot when I was built and came to work on Sodor. (sighs)

Fireman Sam: Don't worry, Henry. I'm sure you'll feel better soon.

Henry: I hope so. If only my firebox isn't so small. (He puffs slowly out of the station)

Raven Queen: Poor Henry.

Mayday: I think we should go back to help Thomas now.

(They head off to do so)

Narrator: Thomas wasn't used to working in the yard on his own. It was very busy all day long. [The classic theme plays in the background as the day passes by and the yard is busy with Thomas and the Irelanders working their best to keep everything in order]

[As the sun sets, James arrive with Annie and Clarabel]

James: Here's James!

Annie: Oh, James! Careful!

Thomas: Do you smell something smokey, James? Like a burning smell?

James: No.

James Jones: I've smell it too, Thomas. (To his engine counterpart) Are you sure it's not coming from you?

James: Not really. Nothing out of the ordinary. (puffs away and groans)

Fireman Sam: Well, I couldn't help but notice James' wooden brake blocks. They were smoking. We'd better keep an eye on him just in case anything bad happens. Wood can catch fire easily.

James Jones: You're right, Uncle Sam.

Connor Lacey: We'II be ready.

[The scene changes to Henry taking on water when he saw Thomas and The Irelanders]

Henry: Hello, Thomas. Hello, Irelanders.

Thomas: Hello, Henry.

[Then they saw the water tower and remembers]

Thomas: Um, Henry, can we ask you something? Do you really hide in a tunnel because of some rain?

Henry: Yes, Thomas, I did.

Fireman Sam: Henry, rain is just water. Same that goes in your boiler. So how could you be afraid of it?

Henry: I don't know, Sam. I can't explain it. I just am and I don't like being teased about it.

Thomas: But we're not teasing, Henry. We're just asking. I mean, you can't stop the rain.

Connor Lacey: That's true. Besides, it's harmless. And you don't need to worry all the time.

Henry: Oh, I don't worry all the time, Connor. (whistles) I hardly worry at all when it's sunny.

[He leaves]

Thomas: Huh? (yawns)

Tubb: Guess we better get some sleep then.

Fireman Sam: He's right. Come on, everyone.

[The next morning, Edward leves Tidmouth Sheds, leaving Thomas, The Irelanders and Henry alone]

Narrator: The next morning, Thomas found it hard to wake up.

Thomas: (yawns)

Narrator: His fire went out and there wasn't enough steam.

Thomas: (yawns)

[The Irelanders are still asleep]

Henry: (whistles)

Thomas: Oh!

[The Irelanders awake by Henry's whistle]

Razer: Not so loud!

Raven Queen:
