Thomas and the Magic Railroad The Movie Page #2

I was told that he used to work

on this railroad.

But he never leaves the other side

of the mountain now.

You seem puzzled, Mr. Conductor.

I am puzzled.

This place looks like

the Island of Sodor, but how would...

Burnett Stone travel there

without gold dust?

Sparkle's been the only way to make the

trip since the lost engine disappeared.

Anyway, I just came to say good-bye.

I have to go now.

Right now?

Yes. I have to make sure everything's

safe and sound on the Island of Sodor...

just as I try to do here.

Like Stacey, Mutt sensed danger.

He didn't want either Billy or me

to leave Shining Time.

Old Smoky, you stay right here

until I get back.

Ah, there you are.

Is something wrong here?

What kind of answer is that?

I'm going to be late.

I'll get back as fast as I can.

I have to concentrate now.

I'm suddenly having problems

with my sparkle.

Good-bye, Mutt.

Sparkle, sparkle, sparkle.

Mr. Conductor, where are you?

I know you live far away,

but you always seem to get here on time.

Mr. Conductor!

Are you all right?

Yes, Thomas. But sometimes

everything happens at once.

I have to see Sir Topham Hat

to get my orders right away.

The journey from Shining Time

keeps getting bumpier and bumpier.

Does it?

A big bully Diesel is back.

You had better be careful.

Sir Topham Hat warned me about Diesel.

Don't worry, Thomas.

I'll just pop in and out

with my sparkle wherever he goes...

and keep him in order, I hope.

Old McDiesel had a plan

Hee, hee, hee, hee, hee

Apinch-pinch here, a pinch-pinch there

Here a pinch, there a pinch

I crack myself up.

Tasha, the Conductor family has

a little steam engine...

with her own railroad,

and has wonderful energy because of it.

But a diesel wants to destroy her.

And without her, the Conductor's

universe will vanish.

The man with the sparkle told me that

one day one of his family will return...

but until then,

"Guard her well, young Burnett."

But I didn't guard you well.

I just don't...

seem to understand about...

magic anymore.

This is where Burnett's granddaughter,

Lily, comes into our story.

She lives with her mom and dad

in the big city...

a few hours train ride

from Shining Time.

She sees magic no one else has time to.

Like lovely reflections

of light on a rainy day.

Soon, she was off to stay

with her grandpa on Muffle Mountain.

Grandpa's been so sad

since Grandma Tasha died...

and he never comes here to see us.

Well, maybe your visit

will cheer him up.

Did you get his present?

Here. I'm making him

a friendship bracelet.

Honey, that's beautiful.

But I'd rather just stay here with you.

I know. Come here.

I'm gonna go up this way.

- Be careful.

- You always say that.

See you in a minute.

You're coming with me

to Grandpa's, Bluebird.

I know how much you like to travel.

Far away on Sodor, the steam engines

were confident, cheerful...

and determined

not to be bullied by Diesel.

OnlyJames, who now felt

really useful too, was complaining.

- Wobbly wheels.

- Puffy pistons.

Thomas, I should have collected

Mr. Conductor!

James is right, little Thomas.

Collecting Mr. Conductor

is an important job.

Important is big.

James is a big engine.

You, Thomas, are small, small, small.

Teeny, weenie, weenie.

And I am a big blue engine

who knows everything.

Bossy sprockets! All that steam

has gone to your funnel!

- There they are.

- We'll fix their wagons.

What's important is to stand up

on our own wheels to Diesel.

Diesel knows that the lost engine

in the legend really exists.

- What engine?

- What legend?

An engine whose magic makes her

more powerful than Diesel will ever be.

That's why he wants to find her.

- Then we'd better find her first.

- Leave it to the big engines.

Little engines can do big things...

especially when they have nice

blue paint like me.

Hey, just watch what happens

to that blue puffball...

When Harold the flopper chopper

flies past here.

Routine fly-by, chaps. Hello.

The boss dumped sneezing powder

everywhere.

Let's start laughing now.

Sorry, fellas. A bit of a dust up.

Love to stay and clean up.

Got to go. Bye.

Did you mean to look like that?

- No.

- Neither did I.

This must be Diesel's doing!

"Dear Mr. Conductor.

Where were you?

My wife said she couldn't miss

our little holiday.

We'll telephone to make sure

you have arrived."

Signed, "Sir Topham Hat."

Sir Topham Hat.

Where were you?

Good afternoon, sir.

A real honor, sir.

Like my family before me.

And how is Lady Hat?

Yes. Watch out for Diesel.

Definitely.

Keep an eye on Henry's health.

Certainly.

Yes, sir, the three R's,

reading, writing and arithmetic.

I mean...

I will be responsible, reliable...

and really useful.

Yes, sir. We will all get

a good night's sleep.

Looking forward to a hard day tomorrow.

Good-bye, sir.

So, who dropped the ball then?

Oh, there you are.

I'd like a nice cup of hot cocoa.

Would you fellas care to join me?

No? What would you rather do?

Go outside and play?

Well, I can understand that.

What do you think? Why do you

keep hitting him like that?

You need a time out.

Just a little sweeter, I think.

All right, Pinchy,

my little bucket of badness...

time to feast yourself.

Ah! Now that's better.

- Cinders and ashes! It's Diesel!

- Diesel? Oh, no!

Hello, Twinkle Toes!

I've got a plan,

and you're not in it!

You can't catch me, Diesel!

Losing your sparkle, huh?

What perfect timing.

- Where is that lost engine?

- You won't find her here.

- You're not clever enough to stop me.

- Yes, I am!

- No, you're not. Is that...

- That's right. It's sugar.

And if I throw this in your tank,

it'll seize you up for good.

Make the most of tonight,

Twinkle Toes...

because you won't like tomorrow!

Neither will that line of tin kettles!

Shut up, Pinchy.

Mr. Conductor,

but what happened to your sparkle?

I don't know, Thomas.

I'll just have to sleep on that.

On your sparkle?

No, Thomas. On the problem

of what happened to it.

But, Mr. Conductor...

without your sparkle

or the lost engine...

you can't travel here

to help us anymore.

I'll solve the problem.

You just go to sleep now.

Easy for you to say.

Sparkle, gold dust, magic...

railroad, buffers, lost engine.

The family told me, as long as there is

a railroad, there will be harmony.

As long as there is gold dust,

there will be energy.

You will never have to worry.

Yeah, sure.

Mr. C?

Mr. C!

Why aren't you here?

Why couldn't you travel anymore

to the Island of Sodor...

or back home here

to us in Shining Time?

The magic is all gone.

What's going wrong

with our railroad and why?

My universe is in danger.

I've got to find more gold dust!

Next morning, Mutt traveled with Billy

to the big city station.

Mutt was sure Lily could help

her grandpa...

and that together they could help me.

But only if Lily met someone special

at Shining Time first.

The train for Muffle Mountain
