The Irelanders' Adventures of Thomas & Friends: Hiro Helps Out/Transcript

This is the transcript of The Irelanders' Adventures of Thomas & Friends: Hiro Helps Out.

[The episode starts with the intro and the title "The Irelanders' Adventures of Thomas and Friends: Hiro Helps Out" appears then pans down to Percy and Edward puffing down the main line]

Narrator: Hiro Helps Out. The engines on the Island of Sodor like to be busy. They heave and haul, they huff and puff and most of all, they like to please the Fat Controller.

[The scene changes to Hiro and the Irelanders puffing into Knapford Station]

Narrator: One morning, Hiro and the Irelanders chuffed into Knapford Station.

[Hiro whistles]

Narrator: There was hustle and bustle, noise and steam. It was another busy day at Knapford.

Connor Lacey: What a nice day here at Knapford.

Twilight Sparkle: I agree. Everything is so busy here.

Marco Polo: I can see that, Twilight. I wonder what are we going to do on Sodor today.

Shi La Won: Beats me, Marco. But I can't wait to do something today, especially with Hiro. (She smiles at him)

Fu Fu: (chitters)

Hiro: Me too as well, Shi La.

Maisie Lockwood: Pardon me for asking but how long have you two been friends?

Shi La Won: We've been friends for a long time, Maisie. When I used to live in China and Hiro used to live in Japan before he moved to Sodor to work here.

Hiro: We've been together when she used to live at an orphanage. While I was here, I broke down and left on a siding for years, til Thomas, Connor, Shi La and the Irelanders found me there and help restore me to my former glory and be Master of the Railway once again.

Maisie Lockwood: Wow.

Shi La Won: But when Hiro grew homesick, he went back home to Japan and during our adventures around the world, I've missed him terribly and worries that he forgot about me. (she looks down sadly, remembering)

Hiro: But, Shi La, I haven't forgotten you. I've written you letters to show that I've missed you too. I will never my oldest friend.

Aviva Corcovado: That's exactly what Koki and I told her when she was sad about missing you.

Koki: Yeah. We've been good sister figures to her.

Hiro: I'm sure you are.

Shi La Won: (smiles) Thanks, Hiro. (to Maisie) Anyway, Hiro and I reunited when he comes back here to help with the summer visitors and I am very happy to see again for so long.

Hiro: And I've been given a welcome party here for my return and I told Thomas, Connor, Shi La and everyone here that being with my friends is the biggest present of all and that there is nothing more special than that.

Fireman Sam: And so you see, Maisie, Hiro and Shi La has a very good friendship with each other.

Maisie Lockwood: Oh, I see. (to Hiro) I'm very glad to get to know you more, Hiro.

Hiro: (chuckles) Thank you, Maisie. You're such a sweet girl, despite your origins as a clone.

[Maisie smiles just as The Fat Controller arrives but without his top hat]

Narrator: Then The Fat Controller hurried onto the platform, without his hat. Hiro and the Irelanders gasped.

Irelanders: (gasp)

Hiro: (gasps) Sir! Good morning, sir. I hope today finds you well, sir.

The Fat Controller: Today finds me with much too much to do, Hiro. That's how today finds me.

Violet Parr: Oh, I see. Guess some days can be frantic for important people I suppose.

Hiro: We can see, sir.

[The Fat Controller closes his watch and saw Hiro and the Irelanders looking at his bald head]

The Fat Controller: What are you all staring at, everyone.

Hiro: Nothing, sir.

Station Officer Steele: Well, err, just your hat, sir.

[The Fat Controller look up and put a hand to his head, realizing that he is right, much to his embarrassment]

The Fat Controller: Excuse me.

[He heads off]

Marco Polo: Well, this is awkward.

Kim Possible: Yeah. It sure is.

Norman Price: We never would have guessed he's bald.

Dilys Price: Norman!

Lightning McQueen: It's not nice to say things like that.

Dusty Crophopper: Yeah, if The Fat Controller heard that, he'd be very cross.

Norman Price: Sorry.

[Edward puff up next to Hiro]

Narrator: Edward puff up.

Edward: Hello, everyone. You all look worried.

[The Fat Controller walk up, wearing his top hat, much to Hiro's relief]

Hiro: Not at all.

The Mask: No, of course not.

Raven Queen: Nothing to worry about, Edward.

Narrator: Then there was trouble.

[The Fat Controller is looking at his watch and bumps into a trolley, knocking baggage off it]

Fluttershy: Oh, my goodness.

Edward: Blistering boilers! In all my long years, I've never seen that before.

Spud the Scarecrow: Yeah, guess he can do funny stuff as well like a clown. (laughs)

Maisie Lockwood: It's nothing to laugh at, Spud.

Mewtwo: (using his physic powers to help put the baggage back on the trolley) There. That'II do it.

The Fat Controller: (clearing his throat, flustered)

Narrator: Hiro was worried for the Fat Controller.

Hiro: Sir? Can we help you, sir?

The Fat Controller: It's a very busy day, Hiro. I have to visit the Thin Controller. I must talk with him about the r
