Verb Engine: When Action Calls!/Transcript

This is the script for Verb Engine: When Action Calls!.

[The episode starts at the Dieselworks]

Narrator: "Verb Engine: When Action Calls!". It was a bright sunny day on the island of Sodor. Diesel was talking to 'Arry and Bert at the Dieselworks.

Diesel: Let's face it. There are three things why Diesels are better then steam engines. One; We are modern and new. Two; We have sleek new models. And three; we are more of an expert in pulling trains.

[Then, James puffs past them]

James: Hello.

Diesel: [to 'Arry and Bert] You think steamies are already dumb enough. Watch this.

[He goes over to James]

Diesel: Hey, James.

James: Hello, Diesel. What's up?

Diesel: We were just talking about how we saw you... ambulating the other day.

James: [shocked] Ambulating?!

Diesel: Yeah. Ambulating. In front of everyone. What a silly steamie.

Narrator: James now felt very, very hurt. He puffed away sadly.

['Arry and Bert laugh]

Diesel: That's nothing. Watch this.

[He rings the bell of the Sodor Search and Rescue Centre]

Flynn: Something's wrong with James!

[James is with Spencer]

Spencer: Sorry, but that's the definition.

James: Oh.

[Thomas, Percy and Henry arrive]

Thomas: James, there you are!

Percy: We were worried about you?

James: Why?

Henry: We heard you were... ambulating.

James: Oh, ha-ha, very funny.

Thomas: James!

Narrator: But James had already puffed away in a huff.

[Thomas, Henry and Percy look at Spencer]

Spencer: Ambulate just means to walk.

Thomas: Wait a minuet. You're telling us... Diesel did this!

[Later, James is seen puffing past the library]

James: I can't believe those three. Ganging up with Diesel. Making fun of me because I don't know what ambulate means. They use words like some sort of evil superpower. Don't they know that words can really, really...

[A book hits him on the head]

James: Ouch! Hurt.

[A girl looks out of the window]

Unknown Girl: Maybe, next time, just hand me the book.

James: [in mind] Evil superpower [echoes]. Words can hurt. Hey, why do I feel like there are hundreds of me talking to me? [echoes]

[James blacks out]

Ryan F-Freeman: [voice over] James was an average talking train. He said...

James: Hello.
