Thomas The Tank Engine And Friends (1984) s16e20 Episode Script
The Christmas Tree Express
In the high hills of Sodor, the little engines were busy.
Pushing and pulling, heaving and hauling.
Lifting and loading in the Blue Mountain Quarry.
The little engines were so busy, they hadn't even remembered that it was Christmas.
Thomas, Toby and Rheneas had been shunting trucks of stone all night.
The other engines were sleeping.
Bust my buffers! I'm tired! I don't have time to be tired! I have to hurry to collect the Christmas tree from the Sodor Search and Rescue Centre.
Bash, Dash and Ferdinand are bringing it from Misty Island! Rheneas was surprised! We don't have a Christmas tree! Toby wheeshed wisely.
You must have a Christmas tree.
It wouldn't be the Christmas holiday without one.
And Misty Island is the best place to find a Christmas tree! That made Rheneas very excited! Oh, I'd like to go to Misty Island right now.
Then, I can bring the Christmas tree back here before the other engines wake up.
Oh, that would be the best Christmas holiday surprise of all! Will you take me, Thomas? I'm sorry, Rheneas.
I don't have time.
I'm sure Toby will take you.
Toby huffed and puffed.
I'd like to help you, Rheneas.
But Salty has told me stories about Misty Island.
Now, I think Misty Island is strange and maybe just a little scary.
Thomas chuffed cheerfully.
No, it's not Toby! Don't worry.
Now, I must whoosh away.
Rheneas pumped his pistons.
Come on Toby! We must hurry.
I must have the Christmas tree here before the others wake up.
So, Rheneas huffed happily towards a flatbed, to start their journey.
Toby pulled Rheneas to the Sodor Search and Rescue Centre.
Thomas was there with Bash, Dash and Ferdinand.
They had brought Thomas a magnificent Christmas tree! Fizzling fireboxes! What a tree! You'll find plenty more on our island! - That's right! - Hurry Toby! So, Toby and Rheneas clickety-clacked into the tunnel and out into Misty Island! Oh, me! Oh, my! I'm sure Salty is right.
This island is strange! I would like to chuff slowly and carefully.
No, Toby! We must hurry! Whirr your wheels faster and faster! So, Toby did what Rheneas wanted.
Toby wheeshed straight on to the Hollow Tree Tunnel! Toby stopped.
Oh, me! Oh, my! It's a tree trunk! And it's a tunnel! This is strange.
And scary! Hurry, Toby! Whirr your wheels faster and faster! If I close my eyes, maybe it won't be so scary.
So, Toby closed his eyes tight and did what Rheneas wanted.
Toby wheeshed faster and faster! Into the Hollow Tree Tunnel and out the other side.
At the side of the track, Rheneas saw some magnificent Christmas trees.
Rheneas was excited! Open your eyes, Toby! Stop! Stop! Toby opened his eyes.
But Toby didn't stop.
I must whirr my wheels faster and faster! So, Toby rushed on.
Rheneas rattled and rocked through valleys and hills, past perfect Christmas trees, until they came to the Shake Shake Bridge.
Suddenly, Toby stopped.
Oh, me! Oh, my! This bridge is very strange.
And, very scary! Rheneas could see the morning sun shining brighter and brighter.
Oh, my friends will wake soon.
And we haven't found a tree.
Hurry Toby! Whirr your wheels faster and faster! If I close my eyes, maybe it won't be so scary.
So, Toby closed his eyes tight and did what Rheneas wanted.
Toby wheeshed faster and faster over the Shake Shake Bridge.
On Toby wheeshed, and on Toby whooshed, past magnificent Christmas trees.
Open your eyes, Toby! Stop! Stop! Toby opened his eyes.
But Toby didn't stop.
I must whirr my wheels faster and faster! Then, the mist came down! Toby stopped.
Oh, me! Oh, my! This mist is very strange! And very, very scary.
Rheneas still had to find a tree.
He was still in a hurry.
Hurry Toby! Whirr your wheels faster and faster! If I close my eyes, maybe it won't be so scary.
So, Toby closed his eyes tight.
But his wheels didn't whirr.
Toby was too scared.
Toby couldn't do what Rheneas wanted.
Rheneas huffed hard.
Oh, my friends will be awake now.
And there is no tree for them.
Toby trembled.
He opened his eyes.
Rheneas, Misty Island is strange and scary to me.
When I whir my wheels and go faster and faster, it's even stranger and scarier! Rheneas listened to Toby.
Rheneas could see Toby's wheels couldn't whirr.
They could only wobble.
Of course, Toby.
I've been silly to make you chuff fast.
We can chuff slowly.
Then, we'll find the best tree of all.
The Christmas tree will be a Christmas holiday surprise whenever my friends see it.
- Hello! - We'd like to take you.
Slowly and carefully.
To find the most magnificent tree of all.
That's right! The Logging Locos smiled at Toby.
Toby liked that.
And that made Rheneas smile.
Are you ready to roll, Toby? Ready to roll, Rheneas! So, Toby and Rheneas followed Bash, Dash and Ferdinand slowly and carefully over the Shake Shake Bridge.
Are your eyes wide open, Toby? My eyes are wide open, Rheneas.
This isn't strange or scary at all! And on they puffed to the most magnificent Christmas tree! Are your eyes wide open, Toby? Toby chuckled.
They're wide open, Rheneas.
The Logging Locos giggled and jiggled.
Oh, this is the finest tree of all.
Thank you! - You're welcome! - Any time! That's right! When Toby and Rheneas puffed into the Blue Mountain Quarry, all the little engines were busy heaving and hauling.
Rheneas hooted happily.
Happy Christmas holidays! The little engines stopped.
They saw the Christmas tree.
What a magnificent tree! What a wonderful Christmas holiday surprise! And that made Rheneas beam from buffer to buffer!
Pushing and pulling, heaving and hauling.
Lifting and loading in the Blue Mountain Quarry.
The little engines were so busy, they hadn't even remembered that it was Christmas.
Thomas, Toby and Rheneas had been shunting trucks of stone all night.
