Heroic Hurricane/Transcript

This is the script for Heroic Hurricane.

[The episode starts with Hurricane shunting a train of steel]

Narrator: Heroic Hurricane. Hurricane is a big tank engine who works at the big Steelworks on the mainland. He delivers steel to places like Bridlington Goods Yard with Frankie. He even has Merlin, Lexi and Theo help him at times. Long ago, he and Frankie trapped Thomas and James in the steelworks because they needed extra help and didn't want either of them to leave. But after Hurricane saves Thomas from molten slag and the experimental engines stay to help, Hurricane is willing to do anything to make up for his mistakes.

[Hurricane continues his shunting]

Narrator: One day, Hurricane is shunting trucks of steel for D261 to take to Bridlington Goods Yard.

Hurricane: All right. All the steel is ready to go.

[Then D261 arrives and couples up]

Narrator: D261 is not a nice diesel. He thinks that steamies should be scrapped and let diesels like himself and Frankie handle things. When he first arrived on Sodor, he had an accident and got a bowler hat stuck in his fuel tank.

D261: Humph. I don't why the mainland keep steam engines like you and those freaks running. You should all be scrapped and let us diesels take over. We are new and modern. They had to fuss you around for hours before you're ready.

Hurricane: What?! Why, you...!

Narrator: D261 honked and rolled away, laughing.

D261: (laughing)

Narrator: Hurricane felt hurt.

Hurricane: That good for nothing piece of junk.

[Later, Hurricane sits alone in a siding]

Narrator: Later, Hurricane is still thinking about D261 when...

Theo: Help! Help! I can't stop!

Narrator: Theo was out of control due to his slag trucks pushing him.

Merlin: Never fear, Theo! I will save you!

[Merlin couples up and slams on his breaks. Theo stops just short of the buffers]

Narrator: Luckily no one was hurt.

Theo: Thanks, Merlin. That was really heroic of you.

Merlin: I know, Theo. That was an adventure.

[Frankie arrives]

Frankie: What's going on here?

Theo: I was being pushed by my slag trucks but Merlin came to my rescue.

Frankie: Well, I must say, Merlin, I must congratulate you on performing such a heroic act.

Merlin: Thank you, Frankie. But there's no need for praise. Really.

Lexi: (in a country accent) Hoo-wee! Way to go, partner!

Merlin: Thank you, Lexi.

Narrator: Hurricane saw this all from nearby.

Hurricane: [sighs] I wish I could be heroic.

[Later, Hurricane is taking trucks to the slag heaps]

Narrator: The following morning, Hurricane was still wondering how he could be heroic.

Hurricane: How can I be heroic?

Narrator: Just then, a gust of wind blew something into Hurricane's face.

Hurricane: Gah! Who turned out the lights?! I can't see!

[Hurricane's driver gets out of the cab and gets the object off his face]

[It revealed to be a comic book]
