Finn, Holley and Thomas meet Nia/Wake Up

This is how Finn, Holley and Thomas meet Nia and Wake Up goes in Lightning McQueen's Adventures of Thomas and Friends: Big World! Big Adventures! The Movie.

[Back in the Sahara desert, Thomas, Finn and Holley are puffing and driving along whilst African music plays in the background]

Trucks: (giggling)

Thomas: See? Didn't I say I could do it?

Finn McMissile: Yes, Thomas. You did.

Holley Shiftwell: And you're doing quite well.

Thomas: Whoo-hoo!

[He rockets down the hill and laughs]

Thomas: I might even get to Dar Es Salaam before Ace!

[Then a whistle is heard and Thomas, Finn and Holley see another goods yard ahead]

Man: Where are you going?

Thomas: To Dar Es Salaam.

Man: Really? Hmm. (he looks at the trucks behind Thomas) I thought they would have sent a bigger engine.

Thomas: I've pulled a lot more trucks than this back on the island of So..... Oooooh.

[Thomas was on his way again. Only now he got more trucks than before]

Holley Shiftwell: Isn't this a bit much?

Finn McMissile: Holley, I'm sure we won't have any more stops now.

[Another whistle is blown and Thomas sees a woman waving a red flag and stops]

Woman: Dar Es Salaam? OK, we have some more trucks for you. Come on!

[More trucks are coupled to Thomas' train. Thomas has more trucks. Then another whistle is heard]

Man: Dar Es Salaam?

[More trucks coupled up to Thomas' train. Thomas keep stopping at places by people asking for Dar Es Salaam and trucks being coupled up to his train, annoying him, Finn and Holley until they have a very long train of trucks]

Holley Shiftwell: How many shunting yards are there around here?

Finn McMissile: I don't know, Holley!

Thomas: (sighs)

[They heard a giggle and turns to see a orange tank engine giggling on a siding, shadowed by a tree next to the tracks]

Orange Engine: Your faces! (giggles) You shouldn't look so surprised. There are always a lot of tracks to Dar Es Salaam you know. But usually they send a bigger engine not a little one like you. Luckily, I like to be helpful where ever I can. And it's not very busy around here at the moment so that means I can help you. Two engines are much better than one you know.

Thomas: I don't need any help! (strains) I can do this by myself!

Nia: Oh. OK. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.

[Thomas puffs away but Finn and Holley look at the orange tank engine]

Holley Shiftwell: Sorry about that.

Finn McMissile: I think the heat's getting him.

[Finn and Holley set off after Thomas. Later, Thomas came to a hill and struggled up]

Van: We usually travel much faster than this.

Tanker: Maybe some help would have been a good idea.

Salt Van: Why have they given us such a small engine?

Thomas: I'm not that small. Be patient! I can do this! Now I know why everyone kept saying this is a difficult job. It's because of trucks like you always complaining about everything! (strains) This really is a job for a much bigger engine. (strains)

[Suddenly, he began sliding back down the hill]

Thomas: Aaaaaaaah!

Holley Shiftwell: Thomas!

Finn McMissile: Thomas!

[Finn uses his grappling hooks to catch Thomas' buffers and starts pulling]

Finn McMissile: Don't just stand there, Holley! Get behind me and push!

Holley Shiftwell: On it!

[She gets behind Finn and starts pushing but they aren't strong enough and they get pulled back down with Thomas. Just then, out of nowhere, Nia shows up and stops Thomas from moving]

Nia: I've got you!

Van: She's got you!

Van 2: She's got you!

Tankers: She's got you!

[Finn and Holley sigh with relief and Finn releases his grappling hooks]

Nia: What did I tell you, Mr Blue Tank Engine, Silver Aston Martin and Miss Purple Sports Car? I know you need help.

Van: She knew you'd need help.

Van 2: She knew you'd need help.

Tankers: She knew you'd need help.

Thomas: I don't need help. I was managing just fine.

Tankers: He doesn't need help.

Van 2: He doesn't need help.

Van: He doesn't need help.

Nia: Oh, I see. I didn't realize you were going backwards for fun. I do that sometimes too you know. Wheeee!

[She began to roll backwards, letting Thomas and the train roll back very fast]

Thomas, Finn and Holley: Aaaaagh!

[Nia stops them and push them]

Nia: But you do have to be careful. In case there is something behind you that you can't see. Don'y you think so?

Thomas: (humphs)

Nia: Should I call you Mr Blue Tank Engine, Mr Silver Aston Martin and Miss Purple Sports Car or do you all have names? My name is Nia.

Finn McMissile: Finn McMissile. British Intelligence.

Holley Shiftwell: Shiftwell. Holley Shiftwell.

Thomas: Well, I'm called Thomas. And I can pull this train by myself. Good bye, Nia.

Nia: If you want to go faster, you should still let me help you. After all, it's a long way to Dar Es Salaam. 5000 miles.

Trucks: 5000 miles. (3 times)

Thomas: 5000 miles?!

Holley Shiftwell: But that's a long time.

Finn McMissile: And nearly a whole day.

Nia: Hey, hey! The trucks can help you you know.

Thomas: Oh, of course, they can. Trucks love to be helpful. Just like you do.

Holley Shiftwell: Thomas, let's not get too rash here.

Finn McMissile: Yes. They're not acting troublesome like the ones back on Sodor.

Nia: You trucks! Don't any of you know any songs to help pass the time? This is going to be a very long journey without any music and big blue tank engine Thomas is getting grumpy already. He needs a bit of cheering up.

[The trucks, Finn and Holley began to sing a song to cheer Thomas up]
 * Trucks: Wake up!
 * (Thomas!)
 * Wake up!
 * It's such a lovely day
 * (Thomas!)
 * You've got a job to do
 * (Cheer up!)
 * Maybe you don't wanna do it but hey, hey, hey
 * (Wake up!)
 * If you wanna be happy
 * Tell me what's stopping you!
 * When you're grumpy
 * You're in your own way!


 * Nia: There's oh so much to discover
 * If you open your eyes
 * You might even uncover
 * Your own smile!
 * Do you really want to be stormy?
 * Always under a cloud?
 * Just be happy and go the extra mile!


 * Trucks: Wake up!
 * (Don't be a silly choo choo!)
 * Cheer up!
 * There's so many things to try
 * Wake up!
 * The world is all around you!
 * As big as the beautiful sky
 * Don't let the world pass you by
 * Si lazima dunia kupita wewe na

[The African people move the goats out of the rails and Thomas looks happy as he went on his way with his train. They went past the village where women are picking fruit from the trees and put them into their baskets on their heads]
 * Nia: A bad mood is like a blindfold
 * It covers up your eyes
 * (Trucks join in): It makes the world around you dark as night
 * Just shake it off
 * And turn your mood around
 * You can do it if you try
 * And see it all in a new light


 * Wake up!
 * (Don't be so grumpy, Thomas!)
 * Cheer up!
 * (The sun is in the sky!)
 * Wake up!
 * (Don't be so grumpy, Thomas!)
 * Or else the world goin' pass you by
 * Don't let the world pass you by
 * Si lazima dunia kupita wewe na

Nia: Slow down a little, Thomas. You need to be careful about animals on the tracks.

Thomas: (laughs) I know all about that. We get animals on the tracks all the time back on Sodor. I just give a little peep on my whistle....... (he peeps his whistle and the giraffes run off in the Savannah) and they soon get off the tracks again.

Finn McMissile: But it can also make them panic! Look what you did to those poor giraffes!

Thomas: They look fine enough to me, Finn. You worry too much like Henry.

Holley Shiftwell: But tooting animals off the tracks is mean, Thomas! It causes them to panic!

Thomas: You both do see it many times on Sodor, remember?

[Finn and Holley nod]

Finn McMissile: But it's still mean!

Holley Shiftwell: Let's move on.

[Nia nods and moves to the back of the train to push it as the song continues]
 * Thomas: Wake up!
 * Nia: Don't be so grumpy, Thomas!
 * Thomas, Nia and the Trucks: Cheer up!
 * There's so many things to try!
 * Wake up!
 * The world is all around you!
 * As big as the beautiful sky
 * Don't let the world pass you by
 * Si lazima dunia kupita wewe na

[The song ends with the sun setting as they went along]

Thomas: Africa is a wonderful country.

Nia: Africa is not a country, Thomas. Africa is a conti
