The Irelanders' Adventures of Fireman Sam: The Great Fire of Pontypandy/Transcript

This is the script for The Irelanders' Adventures of Fireman Sam: The Great Fire of Pontypandy.

[We begin with a view of the Pontypandy Lighthouse in a storm. Inside, Charlie Jones is tinkering with the light. It sparks, making Charlie jump. He presses a red button but the light won't come on]

Charlie Jones: Oh, why won't you switch on, silly light!

[The light lights up a bit then fizzes out. Charlie hears a cracking sound, sees the Window cracking and gasps. The window shatters and the wind blows in, blowing the door open. Charlie sees this and tries to shut it]

Charlie Jones: No! [strains] Come on!

[Charlie tried to get the door shut but the wind was blowing so hard that the door gets pushed right open and Charlie falls, managing to grab the bars. He then reaches into his pocket and pulls out his phone]

Charlie Jones: Call Sam! Call Fireman Sam!

[The opening begins and the title comes up saying "Young Irish Film Makers present" "The Irelanders' Adventures of Fireman Sam: The Great Fire of Pontypandy". Later, Jupiter can be seen driving on the road to the lighthouse, it's sirens blaring. Charlie hears Jupiter coming and turns his head. Jupiter keeps going then arrives at the base of the lighthouse, where it stops. Sam and Elvis get out]

Fireman Sam: Great fires of London! Hang in there, Charlie! [to Elvis] The wind's too strong to use the ladder or the Helicopter.

Elvis Cridlington: So how will we get your brother down?

Fireman Sam: Keep the light on him, Elvis! [to Charlie] I'm coming, Charlie!

[Sam runs to the top of the lighthouse]

Charlie Jones: Hurry! Can't hold on!

[Charlie starts to slip but Sam grabs him at the last moment]

Fireman Sam: Gotcha!

[Sam pulls Charlie to safety as Elvis watches]

Charlie Jones: Come on, Sam!

[Sam finally manages to pull Charlie up]

Fireman Sam: That was a close call. You really should clip yourself in for safety in future, Charlie.

Charlie Jones: Thank you, Sam. I will. But it's not over yet. If we don't get this lighthouse working, the ships out there could run aground in the storm.

Fireman Sam: I've got an idea! (calls Elvis on the walkie-talkie) Sam to Elvis. Keep Jupiter's lights flashing. Shine the headlights out to sea to warn the ships so that we can get the lighthouse going. There are a lot of people depending on us.

Elvis Cridlington: Okay, Sam.

[He placed Jupiter at the edge of the lighthouse and shone the headlights]

Charlie Jones: The light's through here, Sam. I just can't get it to work.

Sam: Hand me that screwdriver, Charlie. See this green wire?

[Elvis watched as Sam help Charlie fix the lighthouse]

Fireman Sam: Yes!

Elvis Cridlington: Hooray! Nice one, Sam!

Charlie Jones: Oh! Wonderful, Sam! Thank you so much!

[We zoom out from the lighthouse. The scene then changes to a month later at the fire Station]

Station Officer Steele: And of course I remember the look on his face as he climbed back into the fire engine. It gives me great pleasure to perform this duty. It's not often....

Norman Price: Who's that standing next to Station Officer Steele?

Mandy Flood: That's Chief Fire Officer Boyce. He's come from Newtown to give out a medal. My dad told me.

Station Officer Steele: ...great service.

[Connor Lacey and the Irelanders walked up to Norman and Mandy]

Connor Lacey: Hello, you two.

Norman Price: Hello. Who are you?

Mandy Flood: Since when cars and scarecrows can talk?

Bob Parr/Mr Incredible: Our friend here travels through the realms.

Norman Price: How?

Connor Lacey: [holds up his Realm Crystal] With this.

Mandy Flood: Wow!

Spud the Scarecrow: Although I scares birds, I also do things people do and playing naughty tricks.

Norman Price: That's the kind of things I like to do.

Spud the Scarecrow: Cor. Someone who likes to play tricks like me. Good.

Brock: I think we better get over there to watch the medal ceremony, guys.

The Mask: You're right, Brock.

Connor Lacey: Come on! See you later, kids.

[They head over]

Station Officer Steele: It's one month since the night of the great storm, a night when one fireman preformed an act of selfless bravery above and beyond the call of duty!

Chief Fire Officer Boyce: Hear! Hear!

Station Officer Steele: So would our hero please step forward?

[Elvis steps forward]

Station Officer Steele: Eh, em. Not you, Cridlington. Fireman Sam!

Tom Thomas: (chuckles)

Elvis Cridlington: Oh. Sorry, sir.

Fireman Sam: Don't worry, Elvis. You'II get yours one day.

[Sam went to Chief Fire Officer Boyce to get his medal]

Chief Fire Officer Boyce: It gives me great pleasure in presenting you with the medal of outstanding bravery. (puts the medal on Sam) Sam, you are a credit to the service.

[Boyce and Sam step back and salute each other. The Fire Crew and the Irelanders clapped in approval]

Tom Thomas: (whistling)

Station Officer Steele: Dih...buh.... That's enough of that.

Tom Thomas: Oh.

Fireman Sam: Um, thank you, sir. But it's really just part of the job. [gesturing to the Fire Crew] And I couldn't have done it without the rest of the team.

[Elvis, Penny, Radar and Tom smiled at him]

Station Officer Steele: Well said, Sam.

Elvis Cridlington: (jumping up to Station Officer Steele) Does that mean I can have a medal too?

Station Officer Steele: No, Cridlington. It means it's time for you to put the kettle on. [chuckles] Yes.

Connor Lacey: Uh, hi there.

Fireman Sam: Oh, hello there. Who are you?

Connor Lacey: I'm Connor Lacey.

Kim Possible: I'm Kim Possible.

Lightning McQueen: I'm Lightning McQueen. [flashes his sticker] Ka-Chow!

Elvis Cridlington: Whoa!

Lightning McQueen: Yeah. I get that reaction a lot. I create a feeling in others that they themselves don't understand.

Dusty Crophopper: Dusty. Dusty Crophopper.

Mewtwo: I am Mewtwo.

Bob Parr/Mr Incredible: I'm Bob Parr. Otherwise known as Mr. Incredible!

Helen Parr/Elastigirl: I'm Helen Parr. Elastigirl alternatively.

Shimmer and Shine: We're Shimmer and Shine.

Misty: And I'm Misty. My specialty is water Pokemon.

Ash Ketchum: My name's Ash Ketchum and I'm trying to be a Pokemon master.

Pikachu: Pika!

Fireman Sam: Why, hello, Pikachu, my name is Sam. Fireman Sam.

Elvis Cridlington: I'm Elvis Cridlington.

Penny Morris: I'm Penny Morris.

Tom Thomas: G'day, mates. Name's Tom Thomas.

Station Officer Steele: I am Station Officer Steele.

Chief Fire Officer Boyce: And I am the esteemed Chief Fire Officer Boyce. I'm from Newtown near Pontypandy.

Darling Charming: It's nice to meet you all.

Fireman Sam: So, what brings you all to Pontypandy?

Connor Lacey: We've come from my home, Ireland, to attend the medal ceremony here.

Fireman Sam: I see. Welcome to Pontypandy.

Connor Lacey: Thanks, Sam. Our team is known as the Irelanders.

Violet Parr: And Connor's our leader.

Fireman Sam: Really? How are you leader of your team at your age, Connor?

Connor Lacey: Well, Sam, I first started the team when I went on my adventures to clear my name after my mammy was framed for my father and siblings' deaths.

Fire Crew: [gasps]

Penny Morris: That's terrible. Who killed them?

Connor Lacey: My stepmother, Linda Ryan, also known as the Shredderette.

Station Officer Steele: What a very tragic event. Sorry about that.

Connor Lacey: That's alright, sir. My friends help me free my mammy, clear my name and banished Linda and her followers to the Outlands of Africa.

Elvis Cridlington: Wow. That's so cool.

Connor Lacey: Glad you think so, Elvis. Hey, you got the same name and hairstyle as the real Elvis Presley.

Elvis Cridlington: I sure do. I was named after him. (giggles)

Penny Morris: Since when cars and scarecrows can talk?

Spud The Scarecrow: Since Farmer Pickles made me to scare crows but I can do what humans can do like playing tricks and all that stuff.

Lightning McQueen: And that we're from Radiator Springs and Propwash Junction from our realm where all vehicles can talk and move by themselves.

Dusty Crophopper: Yeah. There are no humans where we come from.

Penny Morris: Well, that's quite surprising.

Brock: Penny, what a beautiful name. So black and white, yet so playful. Please, let's find a quiet spot to line up and find out if we're a match.

[Misty drags Brock away by his ear]

Misty: Haven't you learned by now that you shouldn't play if you can't win?

Mewtwo: Sorry about that, Penny. Brock's often like that when it comes to girls.

Penny Morris: That's alright.

Chief Fire Officer Boyce: I got an idea. Why don't we give our guests a tour around the fire station while Cridlington prepare us some tea? You'II get to know each other more while you're at it.

Fireman Sam: I think that's a splendid idea, sir.

Station Officer Steele: Well, I suppose so. Why not?

Connor Lacey: A tour in a fire station? That would be exciting.

Station Officer Steele: It sure would. (chuckles) Right this way? (to Chief Fire Officer Boyce) Would you care for a cup of tea, sir?

[They head into the fire station. The scene then changes to the Pontypandy quayside where Mike Flood, Mandy's father, is hammering a wind turbine onto the boathouse roof]

Bronwyn Jones: Oh, Mike. I thought you might like some lemonade to cool you down.

Mike Flood: Ooh, thanks, Bronwyn. [starts climbing down] Heh. I don't know why they want a wind turbine fitted up here. There isn't a breath of wind.

Bronwyn Jones: Ah, but there's a storm on the way. I can always tell when my seaweed gets damp.

Mike Flood: Oh, right you are. Er, well, I've never known it so hooooo........

[Mike falls off the roof and a splashing noise is heard]

Bronwyn Jones: Mike? Oh! Oh, oh, oh! Mike!

[She runs to the side of the quay to see Mike splashing frantically in the water]

Mike Flood: Help! Help! Me tools are weighing me down! (coughing and spluttering)

Bronwyn Jones: I'll call Fireman Sam!

[She runs off to do so. The scene changes back to the fire station where Sam and Chief Fire Officer Boyce are talking about something. Station Officer Steele watches them from the fire station kitchen window. He then turns back to Penny, Elvis and the Irelanders]

Station Officer Steele: Yes, Chief Fire Officer Boyce and myself were at the same fire academy, you know.

Connor Lacey: Wow, that's interesting.

Elvis Cridlington: So why aren't you a Chief Fire Officer, then, sir? Was he just better than you?

[Station Officer Steele spits out his tea in surprise]

Station Officer Steele: Certainly not! (he put his mug in Penny's hand and walks off) I just like to be where the action is. On the front line.

Serena: (to Elvis) Elvis, you shouldn't have said that to Station Officer Steele.

Ron Stoppable: Yeah, it offended him, man.

[Penny heads over to the window and look down at Sam and Boyce]

Penny Morris: Hmm. I wonder what they're talking about.

Maisie Lockwood: Should we go and see what they're talking about?

Ash Ketchum: I think Sam will tell us when he's done talking with Boyce.

Pikachu: Pika.

Connor Lacey: They're right, we'll ask him when they're done talking.

[Outside, Boyce look to see that no one's watching then turns to Sam]

Chief Fire Officer Boyce: Sam, I've a little proposition for you.

[He hands over a piece of paper to Sam]

Chief Fire Officer Boyce: You are just the man I need to lead the new Rapid Response Fire Unit in Newtown.

Fireman Sam: What? Lead? Like a station officer?

Chief Fire Officer Boyce: Why, yes. In fact, I think you can make chief fire officer one day, Sam, just like me.

Fireman Sam: Uh, I don't know what to say, sir.

Chief Fire Officer Boyce: Say nothing. Just sign here.

[Station Officer Steele is watching Sam and Boyce when the printer desk's alarm beeps]

Station Officer Steele: Oh.

[Steele goes over to it and pull out a message from Bronwyn]

Station Officer Steele: Mike Flood's fallen off the boathouse roof into the harbour?! [chuckles] Silly chap.

[He presses a red button, causing the station bell to ring. Penny and the Irelanders slide down the fire pole to the ground level]

Fireman Sam: Sorry, sir! (runs over to Station Officer Steele)

Station Officer Steele: Sam, Mike Flood's fallen off the boathouse roof into the harbour!

Fireman Sam: Sounds like a job for Neptune, sir!

Station Officer Steele: You're right! (to Penny) Penny, you'd better get going!

Penny Morris: On my way, sir! (runs off)

Station Officer Steele: (to Sam) Sam, you'd better go too!

Connor Lacey: Sam, can my team and I come along to watch you in action?

Fireman Sam: I suppose so but keep clear and safe during this rescue. OK?

Connor Lacey: You've got it, Sam. Come on, guys.

[Sam and the Irelanders run to join Penny as they get their fire helmets, climb into Jupiter and put on their seatbelts. Sam pull out the slip that Boyce gave him which Penny notices]

Penny Morris: What's that you've got there, Sam?

Fireman Sam: (quickly puts the slip back in his pocket) I'll tell you and the Irelanders later, Penny.

[Sam rolls his eyes and starts up Jupiter's sirens. Jupiter rolls off out of the station and down the road to rescue Mike while Steele and Boyce watch]

Chief Fire Officer Boyce: Ooh, that's some fireman you've got there, Steele.

Station Officer Steele: Yes, sir. We in Pontypandy are very proud of him.

[Boyce looks at Steele then puts his hand on his chin. Meanwhile, Jupiter passes Dilys Price's shop and through the streets until it reaches the quayside. Sam and Penny run over to the boathouse with Bronwyn and the Irelanders watching with wonder and worry. Mike is still splashing around, trying to stay above the surface]

Mike Flood: (gargling and spluttering)

Fireman Sam: (putting on his ocean rescue gear) Come on, Penny! Mike won't be able to stay afloat for much longer!

Penny Morris: (putting on her ocean rescue gear) Ready, Sam!

[Sam and Penny climb quickly into Neptune and Penny starts the engine. Neptune rolls down a ramp and into the water. It then heads to where Mike is]

Mike Flood: Here! (coughing and spluttering) Over here!

[Neptune pulls up to him and Sam gives Mike his hands]

Fireman Sam: Okay, Mike. (Mike takes his hand) Let's get you out of there.

Mike Flood: Oh, oh, thanks, Sam.

[Sam pulls Mike as hard as he can but Mike keeps slipping back into the water because of the weight of his tool belt]

Fireman Sam: Wow, Mike! Have you been having extra chips again?!

[Sam finally manages to pull Mike into Neptune]

Mike Flood: [panting] No. I've still got me tool belt on. Heh. Whew. Actually, it was quite refreshing taking a dip in this heat. It's been so hot these last few days.

[The camera pans up to the sun shining down on Pontypandy. It changes to Penny, Sam and the Irelanders standing next to Mike's van as Mike gets into it]

Mike Flood: Well, thanks to you, I can get cracking with my other jobs. I've still got to fix that door on the lighthouse.

Fireman Sam: (chuckles) Well, don't go falling off that, will you? Ha-ha.

Penny Morris: Sam doesn't want to make a habit of collecting hero medals.

Mike Flood: Yeah, right. It's nice to meet you and your friends, Connor. I hope you'II enjoy your visit here in Pontypandy.

Connor Lacey: We will, Mike.

Mike Flood: Alright, bye.

[Mike drives away]

Penny Morris: (as she, Sam and the Irelanders start to walk back to Jupiter) Well, come on then. What did Chief Fire Officer Boyce give you?

Fireman Sam: (gets the slip out of his pocket) He's offered me a station officer post in Newtown.

Irelanders: Wow!

Penny Morris: Hey, nice one! In charge of your own station, eh? So, when are you going to let him know?

Fireman Sam: I think he wants it signed at the end of the day.

Misty: Well, that is an exciting new promotion for you, Sam. Pontypandy's gonna miss you when you moved to Newtown.

Fireman Sam: Yes, Misty. And I'm going to miss Pontypandy.

[Trevor Evans pulls up in his bus]

Trevor Evans: Lovely day again, Sam. I'm taking the Pontypandy Pioneers camping in the forest.

Fireman Sam: Sounds great, Trevor. Uh, but I'm afraid we can't have any campfires. The forest is so dry, a single spark could cause a big fire.

Trevor Evans: You can count on me, Sam. I used to be a boy scout you know. Bye!

[Trevor drives off. Sam gets into Jupiter and the scene changes to Dilys Price's shop The Cut-Price Supermarket where Dilys, Norman and Derek Price are getting ready to go on the camping trip along with Spud and Maisie]

Derek Price: (grunting) Thanks for inviting me, Spud and Maisie on the camping trip, Auntie Dilys.

Dilys Price: Oh, it's my pleasure, Derek. It'll be fun for Norman to have his cousin and two new friends with him. Now, have we got everything? Trevor will be here any second.

Derek Price: Don't worry, Auntie Dilys. The Pontypandy Pioneers are always prepared. (chuckles)

Spud The Scarecrow: Well, I can't wait to have some fun with Norman and his friends. All the tricks we can play. (chuckles)

Maisie Lockwood: Now, Spud, I know what you're like and Norman told us about his naughty antics but I want this camping trip to go well without anything disrupts it since I wanted to make friends with other kids since I've been living at my manor with my grandfather for years until Owen, Claire, Connor and his friends came. So, no naughty tricks from you and Norman. Understood?

Spud The Scarecrow: Oh. Alright.

Norman Price: (taking a air fresher from a bag) Are you sure we need to take air freshener, Mam?

Dilys Price: Oh, yes. You get a lot of nasty smells in the forest. And that's just from you kids. (laughs)

Norman Price: Hey!

Maisie Lockwood: Okay, Dilys. We get it.

[Derek looks inside the picnic basket]

Derek Price: [gasps] Wow! Look at all these sandwiches!

Norman Price: Anyone would think we were going camping for a week!

Spud The Scarecrow: Oooh. Yummy!

Maisie Lockwood: Ah, not yet, Spud. We'II eat them when we get to the forest. That really is a lot of sandwiches.

[Trevor arrives]

Trevor Evans: Hehe. Morning, Pioneers. Your carriage awaits. Who are you two?

Spud The Scarecrow: I'm Spud. I'm a scarecrow.

Maisie Lockwood: And I'm Maisie Lockwood.

Trevor Evans: It's nice to meet you both. I've never met a talking scarecrow before.

Spud The Scarecrow: Well, Farmer Pickles made me to scare birds but I can do things like you people can. Playing tricks, do stuff, all of that.

Trevor Evans: Oh, I see.

Maisie Lockwood: Norman and Dilys invited us to join them and Derek on the camping trip if that's alright with you.

Trevor Evans: Of course. The more campers the merrier. (sees Dilys' suitcases) Are you moving house, Dilys?

Dilys Price: And what do you mean by that, Trevor Evans?

Trevor Evans: I mean, we are spending 24 hours in the forest with only our natural instinct for survival to get us through.

Derek Price: (laughs) And 300 sandwiches. (laughs with Norman and Spud)

Trevor Evans: I'm sorry, Derek. But today, the Pontypandy Pioneers are going for their survival badge. So no sandwiches.

Derek Price: Pardon?

Norman Price: Eh?

Spud The Scarecrow: What?

[Dilys' mobile phone rings and she goes to pick it up when Trevor snatches it from the counter]

Trevor Evans: And no mobile phones either, Dilys!

Dilys Price: What? But what about my afternoon gossip with Bronwyn?

Trevor Evans: It can wait. (heading outside with Dilys and Maisie) Come on, Pioneers. Let's move out!

[Once Trevor, Dilys and Maisie are gone, Norman runs to the freezer and gets out sausages, much to the puzzlement of Spud and Derek]

Derek Price: (gasps) What are you doing with those sausages?

Norman Price: Sssh. There's no way I'm eating bugs and berries. Ugh! I want proper food in that forest.

Spud The Scarecrow: I agree with you. Berries won't be enough to fill our bellies like proper food to keep us from starving. So we'II take the sausages to eat during our camping trip.

Trevor Evans: Keep up, Pioneers!

[Derek, Spud and Norman run out of the shop and towards the bus]

Trevor Evans: Come on, you three! Hurry up!

[Norman, Derek and Spud get on the bus]

Norman Price: Sorry, Trevor. I, uh, had to tie my shoelaces.

Derek Price: Oh, ah, me too. (winks at Norman)

[Trevor checks his passenger list and realizes Mandy Flood isn't there]

Trevor Evans: Hmm. No Mandy?

Dilys Price: Maybe she's had second thoughts.

Maisie Lockwood: That's a shame. I was looking forward to meeting her so that I can be friends with her.

Trevor Evans: You and Dilys must be right, Maisie. After all, this camping trip is no picnic. (laughs)

Norman Price: And whose fault is that?

Dilys Price: Now, now, Norman! I'm sure Trevor knows what he's doing.

Trevor Evans: That's right, Dilys. Trevor's at the controls.

[Trevor puts on his seatbelt and takes the brakes off. The bus starts moving]

Trevor Evans: Who's for a singsong?

Everyone: The wheels on the bus go round and round~

Round and round~

Round and round~

[The scene changes to the Floods' house where Mandy and her mother, Helen Flood, are trying to start Helen's medic car but to no avail]

Mandy Flood: Forget it, Mom! (angrily gets out of the car) Trevor's bus will have gone by now.

Helen Flood: Oh, so sorry, Mandy. Your dad's been so busy. He must have forgotten to fix the car.

Mandy Flood: Dad's always too busy fixing things for other people.

Helen Flood: You can still join the Pontypandy Pioneers, love.

Mandy Flood: How?

Helen Flood: We can find them on foot. It's ages since we spent some quality time together, Mandy.

[Mandy looks angrily at her mom before showing a smile]

Mandy Flood: Yes. (takes her mom's hand) Yes, it is. Come on, Mom.

[Mandy and Helen head off. The scene changes to the fire station where Boyce is telling Elvis, Station Officer Steele and the Irelanders about his early days as a fireman]

Elvis Cridlington: ....on your own, sir?

Chief Fire Officer Boyce: Ah, yes, so I had to fight that raging fire single handed.

Elvis Cridlington: (gasps) With just one hand? Wow.

Connor Lacey: You were very brave, Boyce.

Chief Fire Officer Boyce: Indeed I was. (to Station Officer Steele) Isn't that right, Steele?

Station Officer Steele: Uh, yes, yes, Sir. Now, if you don't mind, I've got some work to do.

[Steele leaves the kitchen]

Elvis Cridlington: Um, it's funny, sir, but Station Officer Steele never really tells us about his early days as a fireman.

Chief Fire Officer Boyce: (putting a hand of Elvis' shoulder) Lad, Station Officer Steele is possibly the bravest man I have ever met.

Elvis Cridlington: Really? (covers his mouth, more quietly) Really?

Chief Fire Officer Boyce: He could even have made Deputy Chief Fire Officer. But he wanted to stay here and serve Pontypandy.

Violet Parr: So what you're saying is, he won medals like Sam?

Chief Fire Officer Boyce: Oh, yes, Violet. Station Officer Steele is a hero.

[Elvis and the Irelanders stare in wonder and amazement. The scene changes to Station Officer Steele in his office. He opens a small brown box and takes out a medal he won back in his youth. He then puts it back and takes out an old newspaper article with a photo of a younger version of him on it]

Male Voice: This award goes to young fireman Steele.

Station Officer Steele: Great days. Yes. It all seemed so long ago.

[He stares at the article for a bit before hearing a knock at the door and looking up in shock]

Chief Fire Officer Boyce: Sam. I need a quick word.

[Steele quickly puts the article back in the box]

Fireman Sam: I'm just going to talk to Station Officer Steele in his office, sir.

Chief Fire Officer Boyce: Oh, well, I'II come in with you.

Station Officer Steele: (puts the box away and pretends to have been using the computer) Yes, Sam?

Fireman Sam: (walking in with Boyce) Sir, I think we need to put some warning signs up at the forest. It's so hot and dry, just one spark and it could go up in flames.

Station Officer Steele: Oh, yes, that's a good.....

Chief Fire Officer Boyce: Great idea, Sam. You can never be too careful.

Fireman Sam: Uh. And I was wondering if Tom Thomas should do a sweep of the forest in his helicopter. Just to check for fire.

Chief Fire Officer Boyce: Ooh, I like your thinking, Sam.

Fireman Sam: Uh, thank you, sir. Sirs.

[Sam heads to the door]

Chief Fire Officer Boyce: Oh, Sam?

[Sam stops and turns]

Chief Fire Officer Boyce: Uh, have you got anything for me yet?

Fireman Sam: Uh, not quite, sir. Um, I'd... better be going.

[He leaves, shutting the door behind him. Steele looks suspiciously at Boyce who looks away innocently. The scene changes to the forest where Trevor is trying to set up a tent pole]

Trevor Evans: (grunting) Ooh, it's a hot day for all this. (sighs and grunting)

Norman Price: I'm not sleeping in that!

[A tent is laying on the ground. Trevor walks over to it]

Trevor Evans: (sighs) Just a few teething problems. I'll have it up in no time. Come on. Get in there! (grunting)

[Sarah and James look at each other then back at Trevor, who eventually manages to stick the pole together]

Trevor Evans: There. (sighs) Of course, we should all be making our own shelters from branches and leaves. Argh! Ooh!

[The pole detaches and falls on the ground, much to Trevor's dismay. Dilys walks up to him]

Dilys Price: Let's just stick to the tents, eh, Trevor? (takes the pole from him and sticks it together properly)

Norman Price: Nice one, Mam.

Spud The Scarecrow: That was so fine handy work.

Trevor Evans: (getting bitten by a mosquito) Ouch! (slaps the back of his neck to get rid of it) Huh, thanks, Dilys.

James Jones: (tapping Trevor's arm) Um, Mr. Evans?

Trevor Evans: What's up, James?

James Jones: Um, how will we get food?

Trevor Evans: Traps. (chuckles) And we can forage for berries. (taking a book out of his pocket) Look. I've got a book. 'Camping Rough for Rough Campers'. (opening the book) There's even a section about how to pick berries and not get poisoned.

Dilys Price: (looking up in shock) Poisoned?!

Trevor Evans: Yes. Some berries may look good enough to eat but can be dangerous. But with my book, we'll eat like kings living off the fruits of the forest.

Maisie Lockwood: Good thing you brought it along, Trevor. After all, Sam did say no campfires.

Sarah Jones: (to James) We're going to eat creepy crawlies like on the telly.

James Jones: (groans in disgust)

[The Pioneers head off]

Norman Price: Hah. While Trevor's eating his Snail and Bungle berry pasties, we'll be sizzling these bangers over a campfire. (laughs)

Derek Price: Oh. Can't wait.

Spud The Scarecrow: Me neither.

[They follow the others. Meanwhile, Elvis, Sam, Radar and the Irelanders are putting up the 'No Fire' warning signs just outside the forest]

Elvis Cridlington: (finishes hammering the sign into the ground) Ah, so come on, Sam. What's your secret?

Fireman Sam: (surprised) Um, what do you mean?

Elvis Cridlington: I mean, how do I get myself a medal like yours. How can I be a hero?

Fireman Sam: Oh, uh, there's no secret to it, Elvis. You see something that needs doing and you do it. And I certainly don't feel like a hero.

[Sam picks up the final sign and walks off. Elvis runs to catch up]

Elvis Cridlington: What is it about you and Station Officer Steele? You both get medals and you don't want anything to do with them. I'd wear mine everyday and night.

Fireman Sam: I didn't know that Station Officer Steele had a medal too.

Elvis Cridlington: Yes, he's a hero. (chuckles) But he doesn't like to talk about it.

Bob Parr/Mr Incredible: Yeah. Maybe because he knows that medals are no big deal to him.

Helen Parr/Elastigirl: That is true, Bob. The best award is just praise from those around you.

Frozone/Lucius Best: Helen's right. There's no better award than praise.

[Elvis takes the sign from Sam and goes off to hammer it into the ground. Sam takes out the slip that Boyce gave him and looks at it with a worried expression his face]

Fireman Sam: (sighs, to Radar) Do you think I should take this new job in Newtown, Radar?

Radar: (whimpers and then barks twice as to say "No way")

Fireman Sam: (sighs while putting the slip back in his pocket) I'd miss you too, boy.

Connor Lacey: Maybe you could tell Boyce that you don't want to leave Pontypandy, Sam.

Brock: Yeah, it's okay to tell someone that you don't feel like leaving your hometown.

Fireman Sam: I get what you're saying, guys but I'm still not sure. I'II make a decision soon enough.

Ash Ketchum: Okay, if you say so.

Pikachu: Pika.

[Sam picks up a stick and throws it. Radar chases after it. Meanwhile, Mike's van drives up to the lighthouse and stops. Mike gets out and takes off his cap for a quick moment]

Mike Flood: (sighs) It's so hot. Not really the sort of day to be working. (puts his cap back on) Well, the sooner I start the sooner it's done. Hee-hee. (humming)

[Mike walks into the lighthouse and climb all the way to the top which makes him exhausted]

Mike Flood: (panting) That... that was easy! Enough. Oooooh! Oh, wow. Now, that's made the climb worth it.

[An overview of Pontypandy is shown]

Mike Flood: Pontypandy really is the most beautiful place in the world. Oh. Right, let's get this door fixed.

[Mike open his toolbox and is about to get his tools out when he heard the sound of a phone ringing]

Mike Flood: Yes? (accidentally whacks himself with his hammer) Ow! Oh! Where's me phone?

[Mike look down at his van in dismay]

Mike Flood: Oh, I left it in the van. Oh, it's all right. Get down these stairs again. 1, 2... 15000.

[The scene changes to the outskirts of the forest where Helen and Mandy are standing next to one of the signs where Sam, Elvis and The Irelanders had set it up earlier on]

Helen Flood: Hmm, it's not like your dad not to answer.

Mandy Flood: He's probably too busy helping someone else.

Helen Flood: Now, now, Mandy. It's your dad's job.

Mandy Flood: But he doesn't have time for me anymore. We don't play football or go on picnics. It's just work, work, work.

Mike Flood: (on the phone) Hello? Hello? Helen! Is somebody.... (panting)

Helen Flood: Mike? Are you all right? You sound like you've been running.

Mike Flood: Just a second. Me? Oh, no. (gasps for breath) No, I'm fine.

Helen Flood: Now Mike, you forgot to fix my car. So Mandy missed the bus to go on her Pioneers camping trip.

Mike Flood: Oh. Oh, yes. I'm sorry. Oh, yeah, I forgot.

Helen Flood: So Mandy and I are going to catch up with the Pioneers on foot.

Mike Flood: (gasping for breath) That's a good idea.

Helen Flood: Are you sure you're alright?

Mike Flood: Yeah... Yes. Bye!

[Mike hangs up and look up at the lighthouse]

Mike Flood: (exhales) I must get one of those things for me belt.

[He heads off, not noticing he left his hammer on the van. Cut back to Helen who hangs up and looks at Mandy]

Helen Flood: Hmm. Maybe your dad is working too hard.

[Mandy looks crossly at her mom with a raised eyebrow. Meanwhile, Trevor is making a trap and is just finishing up by covering it with leaves while the Pioneers, Dilys, Spud and Maisie watch]

Trevor Evans: Now, once the rope trap is set like so, cover it with leaves to camouflage it.

Everyone: Oh. Camouflage.

Trevor Evans: (gets up) Hmm. Let's see it in action then. (to James) James, pass me a stick.

[James does so]

Trevor Evans: Okay. Stand back.

[Everyone else steps back and Trevor throws the stick into the trap, which springs up and dangles it in the air]

Everyone: Oh!

Trevor Evans: Ho-ho-ho! Textbook trapping.

Dilys Price: Oh, what a clever Trevor.

[Trevor pulls the rope back down to the ground to reset the trap]

Norman Price: So what are you going to catch in your trap, Trevor?

Trevor Evans: Oh, something big, I expect.

Dilys Price: Oh, I hope you are not thinking of trapping a deer! Trevor Evans, how could you?

Trevor Evans: No, no, no, no, no. I'd never trap a deer.

James Jones: Or bunnies.

Sarah Jones: No! Please, Trevor! Not the bunnies!

Trevor Evans: I never said I'd trap bunnies!

Norman Price: Or mice.

Derek Price: I've got a pet mouse called Frank.

Maisie Lockwood: Or dinosaurs like the ones I've released from the manor and are created by genetic technology.

Trevor Evans: I won't trap dinosaurs or mice or bunnies or deer or...

Sarah Jones: Bugs.

Everyone: Ugh!

Trevor Evans: (sitting down on a log) All right, well, maybe we'll find some blackberries. Besides, we can't cook. Sam asked me not to make a fire. The forest is too dry.

[Squawk the crow flew down to the group]

Spud The Scarecrow: Oh, no. Not you, Squawk.

Norman Price: You know this crow, Spud?

Spud The Scarecrow: Yes, Norman. He's called Squawk. He's a crow that is not scared of me and as that, he become my rival.

Derek Price: That's quite odd, a crow who's not scared of you.

Norman Price: Let me try. Shoo! Shoo!

[Squawk flew up and landed on Norman's head]

Norman Price: Agh! Get off!

James, Sarah, Derek and Maisie: (laughs)

James Jones: I think he likes you, Norman. (giggles)

Spud The Scarecrow: He landed on my head when Travis tries to scare him with his horn. He keeps taunting me every time he appears.

Dilys Price: Oh, my.

Spud The Scarecrow: Looks like where ever I go, he'II always follow me. I suppose you want to tag along for this camping trip?

Squawk: (squawks)

Maisie Lockwood: We'II take that as a yes.

Spud The Scarecrow: (sighs) Guess one fact about survival trips is having animals to help out, eh, Trevor?

Trevor Evans: You could say that, Spud.

[Trevor walks away, leaving his book on the log. Norman walks over to it and picks it up. As the Pioneers walk on, Dilys whacks Trevor]

Trevor Evans: Ow!

Dilys Price: Mosquito!

Trevor Evans: Oh, thanks, Dilys.

[The Pioneers head on]

Derek Price: Oh, I'm hungry.

Norman Price: Me and Spud too. When I give the word, we'll slip off and cook these bangers! Sssh.

[Derek, Spud, Squawk and Norman follow the others. The scene changes to Tom Thomas flying his helicopter Wallaby One over the forest to check for fire as planned. He stops]

Tom Thomas: Tom to Sam. Tom to Sam. Do you read me? Over.

[Sam, Elvis, Radar and the Irelanders are on the path far below him]

Fireman Sam: Loud and clear, Tom. Anything to report from up there?

Tom Thomas: It's all clear, Sam. There's no smoke. No fire.

Fireman Sam: Thanks, Tom.

[Tom flies away]

Blade Ranger: Well, the inspection's going well so far. Hopefully there won't be any fires.

Sheriff: I've just checked the main center of the forest, same result.

Connor Lacey: Good job, Sheriff. With any luck, their camping trip will go down without a hitch.

Fireman Sam: Okay, Elvis. We're off to the station.

Elvis Cridlington: I'll, uh, stay here with Red the Fire Truck and Radar, Sam. Just to be on the safe side.

Red: (smiles)

Ash Ketchum: Ron, Rufus, Misty, Brock, Serena, Pikachu and I will stay with them too as well. To help them out.

Pikachu: Pika.

Fireman Sam: Good idea, Ash. (to Elvis) You'd better take the walkie talkie. (gives it to Elvis) Bye, Radar. Enjoy your walkies.

[As Sam and the other Irelanders are about to leave, Radar jumps up and puts his paws on his chest, accidentally knocking the slip Boyce gave Sam out of his pocket and causing Sam to laugh]

Fireman Sam: (laughing) Down, boy! Whoa-ho-ho!

Irelanders: (giggling)

[Elvis sees the slip and picks it up. As he reads it, Sam notices and sighs. Elvis looks shocked]

Elvis Cridlington: What's this? You're leaving?

Fireman Sam: I don't know, Elvis. (takes the slip off him and puts it back in his pocket) I haven't made up my mind yet.

Kim Possible: Yeah, some things take time and Sam doesn't want any more people to worry about his promotion.

Elvis Cridlington: I think he'd make a brilliant Station officer, Kim.

Fireman Sam: Thanks, Elvis.

Elvis Cridlington: And just think, if you did go to Newtown, I'd get to drive Jupiter.

Fireman Sam: (chuckles) Uh, yes, that would be a comfort, Elvis.

Connor Lacey: Though it would take a bit of getting used to. Do you get a chance to drive Jupiter sometimes, Elvis?

Elvis Cridlington: Well, yes, Connor. I get turns at driving Jupiter at some emergencies.

Connor Lacey: That's good. See you later, guys.

[Sam and the other Irelanders leave]

Elvis Cridlington: (turns to Radar) Okay, Radar. Walkies.

[Radar jumps onto Elvis, knocking him to the ground]

Elvis Cridlington: (laughs) Get off! (laughs) Radar, no! (laughs) Hey, that's in my ear! (laughs)

Violet Parr: Guess every time Radar hears the word "walkies", he jumps on someone.

Raven Queen: (chuckles) Guess you're right, Violet.

Mayday: We'd better get back to the station.

[Sam and the other Irelanders head to Jupiter. The scene changes back to the forest where Norman, Derek and Spud are setting up things up to eat the sausages]

Derek Price: Didn't Trevor say we shouldn't make a fire?

Norman Price: You can't eat raw sausages can you?

Derek Price: Fair point.

Spud The Scarecrow: So, what does the book say on making campfires, Norman?

Norman Price: (opening Trevor's book) Right. It says here you can rub dry sticks together to make fire.

Derek Price: Ooh. (picks up two sticks) Like these?

Norman Price: Exactly. (starts to rub the sticks together but has difficulty lighting them) Come on. (grunting) Oh, come on, light, will you?!

Squawk: (crowing with laughter)

Spud The Scarecrow: It's nothing to laugh at, Squawk, he's doing the best he can.

Norman Price: Oh, come on!

[The sticks start smoking]

Derek Price: Oh, keep going! They're smoking!

Norman Price: My arms are aching!

Dilys Price: Norman! Derek! Spud! Where are you?!

Norman Price: Oh, bother! It's Mum.

[Dilys is looking for them]

Spud The Scarecrow: If she sees us cooking, we're in for it!

Derek Price: Quick!

[The trio quickly pack the sausages away]

Dilys Price: Norman! (approaches the trio) What are you three up to sneaking off?! (silence) Well?! I'm waiting?!

Norman Price: Um, we were having a, y-you know what.

Dilys Price: No, I don't know what.

[Norman nudges Derek]

Derek Price: Oh, it's all the water we've been drinking, Auntie Dilys. You know.

Dilys Price: Oh, you were having a tinkle.

[The trio nod]

Spud The Scarecrow: You could say that.

Dilys Price: Come on. We're all helping Trevor find something to eat.

Spud The Scarecrow: Spud's on the job.

[Dilys walks off much to their relief]

Norman, Spud and Derek: Phew.

Norman Price: That was a close one. (puts his backpack back on)

Derek Price: Ugh, what a waste of sausages.

Norman Price: Don't worry, I've more in my backpack.

Spud The scarecrow: That's good.

[They leave, not noticing they've left some sausages and the book behind and the logs still smoking. The scene changes to the lighthouse where Mike is studying the door]

Mike Flood: Oh, yes. This is going to need some specialist work. Now, where's me hammer? No! (looking down at his van) I left it on the van! Oh, here I go again.

[He starts to walk down the stairs once more. The scene changes to Mandy and Helen close to Trevor's rope trap where Mandy is trying to shoo a fly away]

Mandy Flood: Oh, get off, fly! (swats at it with her hands)

Helen Flood: The campsite should be around here somewhere. Come on, Mandy, this way....

[Helen accidentally steps in the rope trap and the rope wraps around her ankle and pulls her into the air]

Helen Flood: (screaming)

Mandy Flood: (gasps)

Helen Flood: Help! Mandy! Do something!

[Mandy tries jumping to reach her but to no avail]

Mandy Flood: I can't reach you!

Helen Flood: Here. (reaches into her pocket and takes out her phone and gives it to Mandy) Call your dad! I'm stuck! I can't get down! Oh!

[The scene changes back to the lighthouse where Mike has just reached his van and picks up his hammer]

Mike Flood: (panting) Right. To work.

[The sound of a phone ringing is heard. Mike pat his pockets for his phone but then look up in dread. His phone is in his toolbox, ringing on top of the lighthouse]

Mike Flood: Oh, no!

[He quickly runs up the steps to the top but bump into something on the way]

Mike Flood: Ow! Oh. Ow! Whoa!

[He starts climbing again and gets to the top]

Mike Flood: Whoa! Right, get the phon... (it stops ringing) Oh, no!

[Cut back to Mandy]

Mandy Flood: Oh, see?! Dad's always too busy! Normal peoples' dads are always around but not mine! He might be a handyman but he's not handy for me!

Helen Flood: Oh, um, when you've finished.

[Mandy looks at Helen who is still caught in the trap with her arms crossed and looking sternly at her]

Mandy Flood: Oops. Sorry, Mom.

Helen Flood: I think you'd better call for Fireman Sam!

[Mandy nods and does so. The scene changes to the fire station where Station Officer Steele enters his office to answer the printer desk's alarm only to find Boyce has beaten him to it and taken the note from Mandy out]

Station Officer Steele: Ah, sir....

Chief Fire Officer Boyce: Helen Flood caught in man trap in the forest?! (chuckles) Well, that's a bit careless.

Station Officer Steele: (taking the note from Boyce) If you don't mind, sir!

[He presses the red button, causing the station bell to ring. Sam, Penny and the remaining Irelanders slide down the pole and run to get their helmets]

Station Officer Steele: (talking into the PA system) Helen Flood caught in man trap. Location: the Forest. Quick as you can!

Penny Morris: This is a new one on me, Sam.

Fireman Sam: That's what I love about this place, Penny. You never know what's going to happen next. Now, let's rescue Helen.

Irelanders: Okay, Sam!

[Sam, Penny and the remaining Irelanders climb into Jupiter and set off]

Fireman Sam: (talking into the radio) Sir, I just remembered. Elvis is still at the forest with Red, Ron, Rufus, Misty, Brock, Serena, Pikachu and Ash. They might be able to get to Helen quicker.

Station Officer Steele: Good idea, Sam.

Fireman Sam: I'll get them on the walkie talkie.

[The scene changes to Elvis receiving the message from Sam]

Elvis Cridlington: Helen?! Caught in a man trap?! You can count on us, Sam. (hangs up, to Radar, Red, Ash, Ron, Rufus, Misty, Brock, Serena and Pikachu) Guys, we've got to help Helen Flood! This could be our big moment!

Ash Ketchum: Maybe you'II get a medal this time, Elvis!

Pikachu: Pika!

Ron Stoppable: Alright, everyone into Red and let's go!

Rufus: Um-kay!

Irelanders: Okay, Ron!

[Elvis, Radar, Ash, Ron, Rufus, Misty, Brock, Serena and Pikachu climb into Red who turns on his siren and races off. The wood that Norman, Spud and Derek have used to cook sausages starts to light with a flame. At the Mountain Rescue Centre, Tom Thomas is looking at the weather report on his computer]

Tom Thomas: Hmm. Looks like there could be a summer storm coming our way. There's a lot of rain off the coast. Shame it's too far away to dampen the other forests. We wouldn't want any fires. Ooh. Now, the sea might get up a bit too. I'd better warn Charlie.

[Tom picks up his phone. Bronwyn receives the call and answers]

Bronwyn Jones: Oh, hello, Tom. A storm on the way? Oh, thanks for letting us know. Yes, I'll tell him. Bye. (goes outside and sees Charlie there) Hey, Charlie! I just got a call from Tom Thomas. He says there's a storm on the way.

Charlie Jones: (sniffs) He could be right, Bronwyn. The air's getting heavy.

Bronwyn Jones: And my seaweed is getting wet too.

Charlie Jones: I'll make sure I stay in the harbor just to be on the safe side.

[Charlie walks down the steps to his boat. The scene changes to Trevor, Dilys, Spud, Maisie and the Pioneers sitting in a circle by their tents with blackberries]

Trevor Evans: Mmm. Delicious. I do like a good blackberry.

Dilys Price: Yes. Who needs freshly cut sandwiches when you could have this?

James Jones: Can't we call out for a pizza?

Norman Price: Someone decided that we couldn't bring a mobile phone.

Spud The Scarecrow: Yeah, and we don't have any cake either.

Maisie Lockwood: Are you guys saying it's Trevor's fault?

Norman and Spud: Yes!

Maisie Lockwood: Now, you two, I know that having blackberries is not good for us at the moment but you have to put up with this survival trip for now.

[Norman, Spud and James look at Trevor in annoyance and unhappiness]

Trevor Evans: I know how to lift those camp day blues. (takes out Margery, his small guitar) With a good old singsong. (chuckles)

[James, Spud and Norman gasp as Trevor starts playing Margery]

Trevor Evans: We are the Pontypandy Pioneers~

We're bold and brave and have no time for fears~

So give three very big and hearty cheers~

I can't hear you.

Pioneers, Spud and Maisie: (sigh) Hooray, hooray, hooray.

Trevor Evans: For the good old Pontypandy Pioneers!~ Whoo-hoo!

Dilys Price: Ssssh! Ssssh! Sssh! Listen, everyone! Can you smell something?

Trevor Evans: I think you mean 'Can you hear something'.

Dilys Price: Sausages!

Trevor Evans: Hmm. Well, there's no need to take that tone.

Dilys Price: I can smell them cooking.

Trevor Evans: That's impossible, Dilys. There's no campfires in the forest today. Remember?

Dilys Price: Oh. Oh. I'm so hungry, I must be illuminating.

[Derek, Norman and Spud look at each other with worried expressions. The fire got bigger and a trail of smoke went up into the air. Back at the lighthouse, Mike is fixing the door]

Mike Flood: Right. Let's see if it works.

[He moves the door a few times]

Mike Flood: Oh! Lovely action! Solid as a rock! (chuckles)

[As Mike shut the door, he saw a trail of smoke in the distance]

Mike Flood: Hey! Didn't Sam say no campfires in the forest? And didn't Mandy and Helen say that's where they were going?! I'd better call for help!

[Mike rush to the door but it wouldn't open]

Mike Flood: Open, will ya?! Oh, great! The door's stuck and me phone's on the outside! Oh, no. I'm going to have
