The Irelanders' Adventures of Thomas and Friends: The Fastest Red Engine on Sodor, A Shed for Edward and An Engine of Many Colours/Transcript

[The adventure starts with the intro and it ends with The Irelanders' Adventures of Thomas and Friends: The Fastest Red Engine on Sodor, A Shed for Edward and An Engine of Many Colours. James' wheels can be seen whizzing on the rails. At Knapford, Toby is puffing along when he saw a butterfly flying besides him]

Toby: Oh.

[He ring his bell as he look at it. James is puffing down the track very fast]

Narrator: James is a really splendid red engine who loves to go fast.

[Toby looks at the butterfly with a warm smile]

Narrator: Sometimes a little too fast.

[Toby is still looking at the butterfly when he move forward quickly as James approaches]

Toby: Oooh, James!

James: Out of the way, Toby!

Toby: Oooooooh!

James: Hello, Knapford! Here's James!

[He screeches to a stop, blowing a newspaper onto a workman's face, blinding him]

James: Hey, Emily. Hey, Irelanders.

Emily: (not amused) Hello, James.

Connor Lacey: Always making a entrance, as per usual.

The Fat Controller: Oh! Mind your speed, James. And stop showing off.

James: (scoffs)

Emily: He's right, James. Stopping sharply like that is bad for your brakes.

James: (chuckles) I can't help being fast, Emily.

Thomas: Don't forget that time your wooden brake blocks caught fire.

James: Oh...

[A flashback of The Irelanders' Adventures of Thomas & Friends: The Adventure Begins starts playing that features James in his old black livery and his original wooden brake blocks caught fire and runaway. He blushes]

James: Yes, I remember all that. But I got rid of my wooden brake blocks and and I was painted red so good things came out of that accident and I don't have brake problems any more.

Twilight Sparkle: I wouldn't jinx it if I were you, James.

Emily: Twilight's right. You might have problems again if you carry on like this.

James: I have to brake sharply sometimes, Emily. I'm the fastest red engine on Sodor.

Emily: (sighs)

[She puff away]

Soc: I don't even know why I'd bothered riding James every time.

Aisling (Ballybraddan): Yeah. He keeps going too fast every time.

Maisie Lockwood: I think that's just the way James is, I suppose.

Mewtwo: Yeah. We need to keep an eye on him to make sure there are no problems with his brakes.

Raven Queen: Good idea.

Thomas: (giggling) Fastest red engine on Sodor, are you? What about Rosie?

James: Ha! Rosie's not fast! And she's not red either. She's more of a... navy lilac.

Jack Skellington: Yeah. She's always like that so there's no way she's red.

Thomas: She's red now. I just saw her today!

[He puffs away, to James and the Irelanders' shock and surprise]

James: Rosie's red?! Uh, red-red?! Like, like me red, James red?! Splendid red?! Are you teasing me?!

Thomas: (chuckles)

James: Thomas? Thomas! THOMAS!

[The scene changes to a Troublesome Truck blowing a raspberry at James and the Irelanders]

James: (sighs) Trucks? Why do I have to pull trucks? I'm too splendid for trucks.

Truck: Ha-ha! "Too splendid".

Tanker: That's what you think. (giggles)

Truck: You can't pull coaches all the time.

Rarity: Hey! That's not very nice. (sighs) But they're right, darling, you're a mixed-traffic engine which means that you pull trucks as well as coaches, wither you like it or not.

Truck: You can't always do the jobs you like best. (giggles)

James: Oooh! You Troublesome Trucks are lucky to be pulled by me!

[He puffs off very cross]

Narrator: James wasn't having a very good day. And then he saw.....

James: Rosie?

Trucks: Oh. What a awful noise! Why do we have to be pulled by old squeaky wheels?

[James and the Irelanders stop beside Rosie who is now red with the letters N W R on her sides and the number 37 on her cab]

Rosie: Hello, James. Hello, Irelanders.

James: You really are red!

Rosie: Yes. I've been repainted. What do you all think?

Connor Lacey: You look great, Rosie.

Thorn: You got the letters N W R on your sides.

Twilight Sparkle: And the number 37 on your cab.

Spike: Well, it's about time an engine got the North Western Railway initials on their sides since most engines don't have those initials though some engines like Duck, Oliver and Ryan have.

Solo: Though their initials are G W R for the Great Western Railway and G N R for the Great Northern Railway.

[The other Irelanders laugh]

Spike: Yeah, that's true.

James: I'II tell you what I think! I think you're trying to look like me!

Rosie: No, I'm not!

Violet Parr: Yeah, you can't accuse Rosie of being a copycat just because she's red now!

Lightning McQueen: Yeah. I was briefly painted blue after the race in Florida to honor my late mentor Doc Hudson/The Fabulous Hudson Hornet and helping Cruz to be a great racer before being repainted back to my original red colour.

Dusty Crophopper: True, but why is Rosie painted red? Her lavender pink livery is nice on her? It doesn't make sense.

Rosie: Well, The Fat Controller had rewarded me for being really useful by having me painted red permanently. I do miss my old lavender pink paint but I like my new red livery better anyway.

Kion: I, for one, love it.

Captain Jake: Me too.

Truck: Not so red now, squeaky wheels!

Trucks: Squeaky wheels! (laughing)

Rosie: Why are they calling you that?

James: No reason, just ignore them. Ahem. Where are you off to then?

Rosie: I'm taking my trucks to Crovan's Gate.

James: I'm going to Crovan's Gate too. Wanna race? Just to see who's the fastest red engine.

Rosie: OK, that sounds fun!

Fuli: Yes. Finally some action.

Rainbow Dash: Yes, let's race!

Dash Parr: May the fastest of us win!

James: (chuckles) One-two-three-go!

[He shot off like an arrow]

Rosie: James!

Connor Lacey: Let the race begin!

[The Irelanders take off after them. Rosie catches up with James but he speeds up further. Then they approached a red signal]

Rosie: (gasps) Red signal, James!

James: Oh, come on!

[He applies his brakes but he didn't slow down and glided past the signal and towards Henry who is coming from a siding]

Rosie: James!

Kim Possible: Watch out! Henry's coming!

James: (strains) Noo!

[He tries harder but he kept going fast]

Henry: Oh! James!

James: Oh no!

[He manages to stop to avoid crashing into Henry]

James: (panting) Sorry, Henry!

Henry: (sigh with relief)

Rosie: There's clearly something wrong with your brakes, James.

Mushu: Yeah. You barely managed to stop before you hit Henry.

Rosie: I don't think you should be racing.

Truck: Maybe we should drive!

Trucks: (giggles) Good idea!

James: No! You're just worried I'II win and prove I'm the fastest red engine on Sodor.

Rosie: I don't care about that! You need to go to the Steamworks and find out why your brakes aren't working properly. I'II deliver your trucks while you're having your brakes checked.

James: (sighs) Fine.

Beacon: There's a good engine.

Melody: Hopefully nothing else will go wrong and he'II understand that it's best to be safe than sorry.

The Mask: You and me both.

[Later]

Narrator: But when James stop at the next signal, his brakes didn't make the horrid noise he had before.

James: Huh? They didn't make a noise that time.

Koki: That's weird.

Jack Skellington: Still, they need to be checked to see if there's anything wrong with them.

[They set off, unaware that something is dripping from James' chassis. They arrived at the Steamworks but when James stop on the turntable, his brakes don't make the squeaky sound]

James: Hah! It wasn't my brakes after all! It was the troublesome trucks pushing me like they always do!

Captain Jake: Uh, I don't think that's the case here, James.

Aviva Corcovado: Yeah. You should still check your brakes to see what's wrong with them.

James: There's nothing to worry about, Aviva. The trucks pushed me and that is that.

Aviva Corcovado: (sighs with anxiety)

Narrator: James was so convinced that there was nothing wrong with his brakes, he didn't even bother having them checked.

James: Hah! Goodbye!

[He puff away out of the Steamworks, unaware that a puddle of brake fluid is left on the turntable. Victor puffs over and looks at the puddle]

Victor: Kevin!

Kevin: Yes, boss?

Victor: Are you leaking brake fluid?

Kevin: Of course not, boss. I check regularly.

Victor: That what is that?

Kevin: What is what? (he looks at the brake fluid and freaks out) Oh! It is me! Oh no, oh no, oh no! I feel dizzy! Aah!

[He crashes into some tin cans, making Victor sigh in exhaustion. The scene changes to Edward puffing along the main line with Aidan, Soc's twin brother on board in his cab, pulling some red coaches]

Narrator: Edward has been on the Island of Sodor a long time and he is a very popular engine.....

[Edward whistles, getting Philip's attention]

Philip: Huh?

Narrator: ....especially with Philip.

Philip: Oh, it's Edward! (honks)

[He rolls onto the main line alongside Edward]

Philip: Hello, Edward!

Edward: Oh. Hello...

Philip: Are you busy? It's a lovely day, isn't it? Have you seen Dowager Hatt's new hat?

[Then they hear James' whistle and saw James coming towards them at a high rate of speed with the Irelanders on board]

Edward: Oh, slow down, James! You're going way too fast!

Philip: Yeah, James, way too fast!

James: I'm the fastest red engine on Sodor! (laughs)

Aidan: If you carry on like that, you're going to have a crash!

Philip: Yeah! Biff, bash, crash!

Edward: Biff, bash, crash?

Philip: I just made that up. Do you like it?

Edward: (chuckles)

Aidan: (looking back, worried) Be careful, guys.

[The scene changes to James puffing along the line, unaware that he is leaking brake fluid]

Narrator: James did have a problem. He was leaking brake fluid. And without enough fluid, his brakes couldn't work well at all. But he hadn't heard that horrible noise since he gave Rosie his troublesome trucks, and soon James forgot all about being careful.

[James speeds up Gordon's Hill and down the other side, alongside Gordon and the Express]

James: Wha-ha-ha-ha! Whoo-hoo! (whistles)

Fluttershy: Uh, I think we better slow down now.

Tiny: Yeah. It's dangerous to race down a hill at this speed.

Narrator: And then there was trouble.

[James' driver pull the brake to slow James down but nothing happens. He tries again and again but the brakes simply just won't work]

James' Driver: Oh no!

Sunset Shimmer: The brakes aren't working!

Connor Lacey: That's not good!

Maisie Lockwood: What are we gonna do?!

Kion: We better hold on tight! This is going to be a wild ride!

James: Oh no! I can't stop!

Gordon: Huh?

[James sped past Gordon very fast]

James: (yelling) Aaaah! Whoa!

Irelanders: [screaming]

The Fat Controller: Huh?

[James speeds through Knapford, blowing people and the Fat Controller's hats off and spin them around]

The Fat Controller: Oh! Ooh... JAMES!

[James thunders on]

June: How do we slow down?!

Boots: What do we do?! What do we do?!

Chris Kratt: Something must have happened that we were unaware of!

Martin Kratt: Yeah but what?!

[James rocket through the yard, passing Rosie on the way]

James and Irelanders: (yelling) Rosie! Help!

Rosie: James! Guys!

[She puffs after James and the Irelanders who are still yelling as they rocket down the line. She tries to catch up but to no avail. Ono uses his eyesight and gasps as he sees what's ahead of them]

Ono: (gasps) Hapana! Guys! We're heading right for Tidmouth Sheds!

Ziggy: Oh no! We're going to crash!

Kim Possible: We're gonna have to jump for it!

Jimmy Z: She's right! Everyone, abandon engine!

[As James approaches Tidmouth Sheds, his driver, fireman and the Irelanders jump to safety, Tiny's arm coming off as he hits the ground]

James: Aaaaaaaah!

[He shot across the turntable, through the berth and crash straight through the back of the sheds and stopped. Rosie and the Irelanders arrive at the scene of the destruction]

Rosie: James! (gasps) James! (coughs)

Irelanders: (coughs then gasps at James' condition)

James: (groans)

[A piece of metal hit James on his smokebox]

James: Ow!

Rosie: Are you okay, James?

James: I think so. How's my paint looking?

Connor Lacey: Uh, at this point, James, not so good. [very cross] And you've destroyed Edward's berth!

Annie: Plus you nearly got us killed!

James: I didn't mean for this to happen, guys. I'm really in trouble now.

The Fat Controller: You can say that again, James.

James: (gasps)

Irelanders: Uh-oh.

[The Fat Controller, Hawk and Soc and Aidan's parents came walking up to James angrily]

The Fat Controller: I told you many times about showing off and rushing about! And now, you've ruined the shed!

Discord: (sighs) Honestly, in case you forget, showing off is who James is, just like being cheeky is who Thomas is and since you're controller of the entire North Western Railway, you should accept your engines for who they are, regardless and never try to change them. It's like Ashima taught them; be who you are and that goes to James too. Even your plan to change his altitude doesn't work. He'II always be himself wither you like it or not. Then again you're just too stubborn to do so just like you wanted to run the railway despite having a cold and your mother send you back to bed to rest once.

[The Fat Controller looks sternly at Discord]

Fuli: Discord does a point there, sir.

The Fat Controller: You all got a point there about be who you are but I think that James needs to learn to be more sensible about being reckless.

Rosie: But sir, James has had problems with his brakes all day. He was trying to be careful. He even went to the Steamworks to have them fixed.

[James chuckles nervously]

Rosie: You did go to the Steamworks, didn't you, James?

James: I did go... but I thought the problem had stopped, so I didn't wait to get fixed.

Maisie Lockwood: We tried to tell him to stay and have them checked but he didn't listen. He just thought it was the Troublesome Trucks pushing him as usual.

The Fat Controller: Oh, honestly, James. It would have been better to fix your brakes when you have a small problem before it turned into a much bigger one.

Soc and Aidan's Mom: I agree with Sir Topham Hatt on this one, you almost killed one of our children!

Soc: We jump out of his cab before he crashes, Ma.

Soc and Aidan's Mom: We know, but still! Maybe you should spend less time with him for a while.

Soc and Aidan's Dad: At least we both know how our twins gets along with Edward and James besides same colours.

Soc and Aidan's Mom: And what's that?

Soc and Aidan's Dad: That Aidan and Edward are both sensible about things while Soc and James can be silly and reckless at times.

[Soc and Aidan's Mom thinks, remembering those times]

Soc and Aidan's Mum: I guess that's true. But hopefully James will learn any sense from this accident.

Hawk: And learn to check his problems before they get more worse.

[The Fat Controller, Hawk and Soc's parents left the sheds]

James: I'm sorry, sir. Sorry, guys. Sorry, Rosie. I should have known another red engine would give good advice.

Twilight Sparkle: Well, you learnt an important friendship lesson today, James. Always take advice from others and always check small problems before they become even worse.

Soc: At least neither of us get hurt even Aisling since I save her life by jumping out together. I couldn't let her get hurt.

Aisling: (smiles warmly by that act and Soc's care for her safety) Thanks, Soc. That is very brave of you. And it warms my heart to hear that you care about me.

Soc: You're welcome.

[They both smile at each other and blush]

Zazu: Oh, just look at you two. Little seeds of romance blossoming on Sodor. Your parents will be thrilled what with you being together and all.

Aisling: Thanks, Zazu.

Soc: We do look cute together I guess. (to James) And I hope that you'II be sensible now, mister.

James: I will, Soc.

Rosie: At least you proved one thing today, James. For a while there, you really were the fastest red engine on Sodor. (giggles with the Irelanders)

James: (laughs a bit)

[Duck, Rocky, Belle, Flynn, Harold, Butch and the Sodor Construction Company arrived to repair the sheds. As night fell, Rocky lifts James out of the sheds and towards his flatbed]

James: (groans)

[The Fat Controller is talking to his engines about where they can sleep while Edward's berth is being repaired]

The Fat Controller: Until we get these sheds repaired, two of you engines will have to find new homes. Edward, where can we house you?

Philip: Oh, please, sir! Edward can come and share my shed!

Edward: Thank you, Philip.

Connor Lacey: I think we need to split up so that some of us can keep watch on James while the rest of us go with Edward. Wild Kratts, Maisie, Aidan, Solo, Ziggy, Mane 6, Discord, Bob, Helen, Lion Guard and Never Land Pirates, you're with me and Edward, Soc, Aisling, Iago, Sunset, Beacon, Sam, Fiona, Violet, Dash, McQueen and Dusty, you'll be with James.

Irelanders: Yes, Connor.

Philip: Yay! A sleepover! This is going to be so much fun!

The Fat Controller: Now, Thomas, there's an empty shed for you at Knapford.

[The scene changes to Philip's shed at Wellsworth]

Philip: Here we are, guys. Come in, come in. Make yourselves at home.

Maisie Lockwood: This is nice, Philip.

Kion: Yeah. Asante.

Izzy: This could do to spend the night.

Edward: Thank you, Philip. (yawns) Oh, dear. Time for me to get some shut-eye.

Philip: You know, James must've been going really fast to have a crash like that.

Edward: Yes, much too fast. Anyway, good night, Philip...

[He closes his eyes to sleep but Philip speaks up again, waking him and the Irelanders up]

Philip: Have you ever gone really fast, Edward? Have you ever had an nasty accident?

Edward: I really should get some sleep now...

Aidan: Yeah, and we would appreciate it if you keep quiet while we get some shut-eye.

Philip: Did I ever told you about the time I had a race with Gordon? It was really brilliant and....

[Philip talks all through the night and into the next morning, his constant talking keeping Edward and the Irelanders awake]

Philip: ...what else? It was me who rescued James when he come off the bridge and landed on top of me.

Zazu: Well, that is very interesting, Philip.

Rarity: Yes, it is. (yawns)

Edward: Well, thank you again for letting us stay the night. We must do it again sometime.

Philip: Yes! Well, you're coming back tonight, aren't you?

Edward: Oooh, I umm...umm... we'II see. We'd better get going. Bye, Philip.

Irelanders: Bye.

Philip: See you all tonight.

[The scene changes to the Pack clearing up the mess that James had made at Tidmouth Sheds with the Fat Controller watching, wearing a hardhat as Edward and the Irelanders arrived]

The Fat Controller: Oh, dear! It's going to be a while yet before this place is all fixed up again. Could take at least a week.

Edward: A week?!

Solo: That's a long time.

Good Fairy: Yes.

The Fat Controller: Lucky you've got a nice quiet place to sleep, Edward. Ha-ha.

Narrator: But Edward didn't have a quiet place to sleep. Not with all Philip's chattering.

Chris Kratt: We barely got a wink of sleep last night without that chatterbox of a boxcab talking all night.

Martin Kratt: Yeah. How are we and Edward supposed to sleep without Philip piping up every now and then?

[Aidan took pictures of the mess and took out his sketchpad to draw it while feeling sorry for Edward's lack of sleep]

Edward: (yawns) I have to find somewhere peaceful to sleep tonight.

[He puffs off with the Irelanders and the scene changes to night at Brendam Docks where Salty and Porter are letting Edward and the Irelanders spend the night with them]

Salty: Arrr! Of course you can drop anchor with us, shipmates.

Connor Lacey: Thanks, Salty and Porter.

Ziggy: Yeah. Much appreciated.

Edward: (sighs and whistles)

[They went into the warehouse and settled down]

Edward: Oh, yes, I'm so looking forward to a decent night's sleep. Ah, peace, perfect peace.

[He went to sleep but then singing is heard, waking him and the Irelanders up]

Salty: (singing in his sleep) Arrr... t'was a dark stormy night and the wind she did blow and the ship was frial and tiny.....

Edward: Salty?

Koki: What is he doing, Porter?

Porter: Sorry, I forgot to tell you all, Salty often sing sea shanties in his sleep.

Connor Lacey: He does?

Porter: Apparently so, Connor.

Twilight Sparkle: How come you can sleep with him singing in his sleep?

Porter: It took me a while to get used to it, but now I can't fall asleep without them.

Salty: (singing) ..to the bottom of the deep blue sea~ Singing a-yo-ho-ho...

Maisie Lockwood: Great. Now we have Salty's singing to keep us awake.

Aidan: I have a feeling this is going to be a long night.

[Edward and the Irelanders groans. The next morning, they puff into Wellsworth to pick up passengers, looking very tired]

Edward and the Irelanders: (yawn)

[Then Philip rolled up]

Philip: Oh, good morning, guys. (honks) You all look tired.

Edward: Errr...ummm.

Philip: Oh, it was such fun when you all stayed the night at my shed, but I thought you all would come back again last night. Didn't you all like it there? How about the size? Was it big enough? Too big? Too small? It was too small, wasn't it?

[Edward and the Irelanders heard the guard blow his whistle and their signal changes to green]

Edward: We have to go now. Bye! (whistles)

[Edward and the Irelanders set off, leaving Philip very confused. A little later, they met up with Aidan's parents, Hawk and Hanratty]

Adian's Mom: Oh, my. Aidan, you look like you haven't got any sleep for the past few nights. What happened?

Aidan: Well, Ma, we and Edward had been kept awake for the past two nights by Philip talking all night and Salty singing sea shanties in his sleep. (yawns)

Applejack: So you could say that it's hard to find somewhere to sleep without someone keeping you awake all night.

Aidan's Mum: Oh, you poor things. Just like Soc once stay up all night reading zombie comics and wants to stay at home despite that he has school.

Aidan: (knowing about Soc's poem project which really kept him up all night) Yeah. Though it's really his poem project that kept him awake. Soc told me when I learn about it and his crush on Aisling.

[Aidan's Mum look at Edward's tired state, concerned]

Aidan's Mum: Oh, my goodness, Edward!

Edward: (yawns) I do hope I can find a much more quieter place to sleep. Not easy for an old engine like me.

Aidan's Mum: I can see that.

Ned Hanratty: That could be one of the problems old timers like us have to endure I suppose.

Aidan's Dad: Why don't you try the Steamworks tonight, Edward? Soc's been there for sometime to check on James and could use some more company. What do you guys think?

Connor Lacey: Good idea, Aidan's Dad.

Helen Parr/Elastigirl: That could work.

Ono: Hopefully.

Hawk: Good luck with getting some sleep, guys.

Zazu: Thanks, Hawk.

[They set off and the scene changes to the Steamworks at night where Edward and the Irelanders explain to Victor about their sleeping problem and he agrees to let them spend the night there]

Victor: Have a good night's sleep, my friends.

Solo: We'll try, Victor.

[The Irelanders and Edward fall asleep but then loud noises and lights flash on, startling them awake]

Edward: Ahh! What's happening?

[Workman start work on repairing James who is asleep despite the loud noise]

Aviva Corcovado: Victor, what are you doing running the Steamworks at this hour? It's still the middle of the night.

Victor: Sorry, my friend, we have a second crew working all night to get James repaired as soon as possible!

Discord: (putting his antler and goat horn in his ears) Could this situation get any worse?

Maisie Lockwood: I don't know, Discord.

Twilight Sparkle: We better find another place to sleep without any more noise.

Connor Lacey: I agree.

Edward: Ohhh.....

[They went out of the Steamworks. They went onto a ship at sea and tries to sleep but the ship's horn startled them awake]

Edward and Irelanders: (screams)

[A big wave splashes them, making them soaking wet]

Edward: Ohh....

Aidan: Back to the drawing board. [sighs] Again.

[Later, the Irelanders and Edward are in Ulfstead Mine. They shut their eyes]

Miner: Everyone get clear!

[An explosion booms, waking Edward and the Irelanders up. Edwards blows his whistle]

Cubby: Oh, coconuts.

[Later, they went into the woods and tries to sleep but snowy owls start hooting and woke them up. They scream]

Edward and Irelanders: (screaming)

[The scene changes to James sobbing at his condition]

James: Look at my lovely paintwork!

Victor: Don't worry, my friend, we'II have you fixed up in no time.

James: A long time ago, The Fat Controller said that if I misbehaved again, he would paint me blue!

Sunset Shimmer: Was that after Thomas got his branchline years ago, James?

James: Yes, Sunset. What I misbehaves is soaking The Fat Controller's top hat by accidentally wheesh steam after boys admire my paintwork. Then as I rush to avoid trouble, I made two coaches go beyond the platform and got hiccups which makes a old lady drop her parcels.

Soc: Wow. That's quite the predicament.

Aisling: Yeah. It is.

Kevin: I'm sorry, boss, but I can't find anymore red paint! We have plenty of blue paint though!

James: Blue?! I won't be the same at all if I'm painted blue!

[He blows steam starting an imagination sequence. Thomas and Emily are at Knapford, collecting passengers when James arrives off-screen]

James: Heeeere's James!

Thomas: James?! What happened to your shiny red paint?!

Emily: You look like Thomas and Sally.

James: Eh?

[He looks back and gasps. The camera pans out to reveal that he's been painted blue, much to his horror]

James: (gasps) I'm blue! Oh, no! Nobody thinks blue engines are splendid!

Thomas: (groans in annoyance while rolling his eyes)

Stationmaster: Gordon's come down with boiler ache, could you please take the express for him, James?

James: Not in this colour! What would everyone say?

Thomas: It doesn't matter what colour paint your have, James. It's what you do to be really useful that matters.

Girl: Look, Daddy, Edward is going to taking our train!

James: Oh...

[James is coupled up to the express and he blows his whistle. As he puff along the main line, the coaches glows blue and have gotten lighter, much to James' surprise]

James: Eh? Pulling the express was never this easy before! These coaches are so light, I can go as fast as I want! [speeds up] Whoo-hoo! Make way for an important engine! Express coming through!

[He races past Spencer]

Spencer: James! Stop showing off before you have another crash!

James: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[He then saw Vicarstown bridge ahead and gasps]

James: Ooh. Oh, no!

[He slam on his brakes but he just keeps going and crashes through the gate. He shuts his eyes, bracing himself for impact. The screen goes black for a split second before James open his eyes in terror. He looks around frantically, panting but soon calms down]

Sam: James! We heard you scream! Are you okay?

James: Phew. It was all just a dream.

Iago: More like a nightmare.

Leo: What happened?

James: I dreamt that I was painted and have a crash when I show off.

Beacon: Oh, my. That is a bad dream.

Lightning McQueen: Just like when I had that nightmare about racing King and Chick in the piston cup, only for Frank to show up and chase us. King got away and I got away but Chick wasn't so lucky.

Dusty Crophopper: What happened to him?

Lightning McQueen: Frank shredded Chick to pieces.

Fiona: Hah, good riddance to that cheater, I'd say.

Lightning McQueen: It's only a dream, Fiona. It didn't happen for real.

Fiona: I know. But I would love to see it happen in reality. Chick wouldn't be smiling then.

Beacon: Perhaps so, Fiona.

Annie: We better go back to sleep.

Quincy: Good idea, Annie.

[The Irelanders head off. James heard Henry's whistle and look out the window to see Henry puffing outside, pulling the Flying Kipper. He yawns and falls back to sleep, again blowing up steam and starting another imagination sequence. Percy and Stanley are in the shunting yard when James arrives off-screen again]

James: Here's James!

Stanley: James? Is that you?

Percy: You look like me!

James: (gasps)

[The camera pans out to reveal that he's been painted green]

James: I'm green? Oh, this is terrible.

[Percy and Stanley stare at him]

Stanley: At least you're back on the rails again, James. And just in time too. Henry's being delayed. The Fat Controller wants you to take his heavy goods train.

James: Humph.

[James puff along the main line until his trucks suddenly glow green and hover a few inches from the tracks, much to James' surprise]

James: For a heavy goods train, this certainly feels very light! Maybe green makes you stronger? Strong and green like Henry, that's me!

[He speeds up Gordon's Hill, pasting Rosie on the way]

James: Maybe you should be repainted green, Rosie! Ha-ha-ha! Then you'II be as strong as me and Henry!

Rosie: Well, maybe you should stop showing off before you have another crash!

James: (chuckles) Yay!

[Then he suddenly sees Edward pulling a train of tankers ahead and gasps. He slams on his brakes]

James: Look out, Edward!

Edward: Ah!

James: Oh, no! Ah, ah, ah, argh!

[The screen once again goes black for a split second before cutting back to James waking up in the Steamworks]

James: (gasps and pants)

Violet Parr: [yawns] What now, James?

James: This is too much! Not another bad dream!

Dash Parr: Let me guess, you had a nightmare where you were painted green and crashed again, right?

James: Huh? How can you guess?

Dash Parr: Heard Henry outside the Steamworks earlier.

James: Oh.

Thorn: You may need something to help you sleep better. Any suggestions, guys?

[The guys pondered then Aisling brought out a comic]

Aisling: Here, James. Reading this should help you feel better.

James: OK. Thanks, Aisling.

[The Irelanders head back to sleep. James reads the comic for a bit then yawns and falls back to sleep, again blowing steam and starting yet another imagination sequence. Toby is at a signal when James arrives again off screen]

James: Here's James!

Toby: James! You look so super!
