Thomas The Tank Engine And Friends (1984) s17e02 Episode Script
Scruff's Makeover (7 min)
It was another busy day at Whiff's Waste Dump on the Island of Sodor.
There was always plenty to do and Scruff and Whiff were never happier than when they were collecting rubbish.
Let's get scrunching! - Ready to roll, Scruff? - Ready to roll, Whiff! It was messy work but Whiff and Scruff didn't mind.
They were doing a Really Useful Job and they didn't care how dirty they looked.
There are some trucks to be collected from a siding at Tidmouth Sheds.
Leave it to me, Whiff, I'm on my way! Now, Scruff didn't mind looking scruffy but some of the other engines couldn't understand how he could bear it.
Dear, oh, dear! Such a messy engine.
Oh, I'd hate to be that dirty.
If I looked that scruffy, I'd stay in my shed.
It doesn't bother me.
I'm happy just the way I am.
Right, let's get you trucks back to the Waste Dump and get scrunching! At Knapford Station, Scruff saw the Fat Controller and stopped to say good morning.
Good morning, sir.
Oh, my! Scruff! Your paint is peeling.
And you're starting to rust.
Maybe I could just have the rust scraped off, sir.
Oh, no, no, no! That won't do at all.
There's only one way to get rid of rust.
You'll need to be repainted! Repainted? Scruff was horrified.
He didn't even like being washed.
And he was sure he wouldn't like being repainted.
You must deliver those trucks and get yourself along to the Steamworks immediately.
Being repainted is the only answer.
Repainted? Aw Once Scruff had delivered his trucks, he went to the Steamworks to be repainted.
Aw Welcome, welcome, my friend.
The Fat Controller tells me you need repainting.
- Err, well, actually - Splendid.
We shall have you shiny and sparkling in no time.
Hello, Scruff! This way.
Let's get you sanded down and patched up! Scruff was scrubbed and scraped, sanded down, patched up, painted and polished.
And he did not enjoy it one little bit.
When all the work was finished, he just wanted to get back to the Waste Dump and get back to work.
I knew that wouldn't be any fun.
Scruff, my friend.
So stylish.
So elegant.
I don't know what you mean, Victor.
He's right.
You look great! Oh, look at me! I'm shiny and sparkling! - What do you think, Scruff? - I I I look wonderful! Well, if you're happy, then we're happy.
Thank you, Victor.
Thank you, Kevin.
I feel like a new engine! Scruff was so happy.
His paintwork was gleaming and he felt on top of the world.
All the other engines were very impressed.
Very nice, Scruff.
A huge improvement.
You're almost as bright and shiny as me now! Back at the Waste Dump, Whiff had a lot of work to do.
Hello, Whiff.
What do you think? Do you like my shiny new paintwork? Very nice, Scruff, but I'm glad you're back.
It's getting very busy and I really need some help.
- Help? - If you could just move those trucks over there, please.
I can't do that, Whiff.
I might get my new paintwork dusty.
Oh.
Well, maybe you could shift those wagons on siding 3.
Uh, sorry, Whiff.
I don't want to get my new paintwork covered in messy old oil.
Maybe I should look for a new job that isn't so messy.
Thomas was collecting passengers at Knapford Station when Scruff arrived, looking for a new job.
- Hello, Thomas.
- Hello, Scruff.
You look very clean and shiny.
And I hope to stay that way.
So I was wondering if you'd let me pull Annie and Clarabel today? But that's my job, Scruff.
And you have your own job, Scruff! At the Waste Dump! Not any more.
I can't stay clean while I'm working at that dirty, smelly, oily, dusty old dump.
Scruff went everywhere looking for a new job.
- Hello Percy.
- Hi, Scruff.
I love your new paintwork.
Thanks, ha, ha.
Uh I was wondering if I could pull the mail train today? But that's my job.
Your job is at the Waste Dump.
Everyone had their own special work to do.
Nobody wanted to swap with Scruff.
Pull my express? Don't be ridiculous! You're much too small and slow to pull the express! Anyway, your job is at the Waste Dump.
But I'm shiny and clean now! You may be shiny and clean but if you don't do your job, then you're not a Really Useful Engine any more! Poor Scruff was horrified.
Deep down, he knew that what Gordon said was true.
Every engine wants to be Really Useful.
Back at the Waste Dump, Whiff was busier than ever.
Muddle and mess! I'll be in big trouble if the Fat Controller sees this.
Hello, Whiff.
Can't stop, Scruff! Too much to do! Trucks of trash coming through! Well, er, maybe I could help.
No, Scruff! Watch out! You don't want to get your beautiful new paintwork dirty.
Don't worry.
I'll be extra careful.
Then there was trouble.
Scruff, watch out! Rubbish dropped from the crane! Scruff was covered in horrible, stinky, mucky mess.
Oh, no! Your lovely new paintwork! It's all right, Whiff.
Getting dirty is part of the job.
Come on, let's get scrunching! Working together, Whiff and Scruff sorted out all the rubbish.
Soon, everything at the Waste Dump was back to normal.
And so was Scruff.
Welcome back, Scruff! Glad to have you back on the team.
Glad to be back, Whiff.
I'd rather be a Really Useful Engine than a Really Shiny Engine any day!
