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! Ha, ha, ha! [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 puffs away] 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] 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] 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 going to 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, 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: 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] Hello? Narrator: The man in charge of the little railway was the Fat Controller. The Fat Controller: I see. 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! Edward: Not even so much as a "thank you". Humph.

Edward: [gasps] I have heard so much about 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.

[Later, Edward is back in Knapford Yard shunting some trucks]
