Thomas and the Magic Railroad The Movie Page #3

Synopsis: Mr. Kahnen's supply of magic gold dust, which allows him to travel between Shining Time and Thomas's island, is critically low. Unfortunately, he doesn't know how to get more. Meanwhile, Thomas is fending off attacks by the nasty diesel engines. Getting more gold dust will require help from Mr. C's slacker cousin, his new friend Lilly, and her morose grandfather, plus the secret engine he's hidden all these years and couldn't get running.

will depart from track three.

The train for Shining Town

will depart from track four.

I don't suppose you know where

track three is, do you?

You do?

Is it that one?

Well, why not?

I hope you're right.

Mutt was feeling pleased with himself.

He had put Lily on the wrong train...

but he knew he had done so

for the right reasons.

I know how the moon must feel

Looking down from the heavens

Smiling at the silly things

We put ourselves through

Missing magic each day

And not seeing the wonder

That's how the moon

Must feel

I know how the moon must feel

When he makes someone happy

That's the feeling I will feel

When you smile at me

I'll be floating on air

I'll be beaming with wonder

That's how the moon

Must feel

Left a bit. Right a bit.

Up a bit!

There, James.

Tickle all gone now?

No. Still itchy.

Hey, Mr. C, why do you look so tired?

Is it because I'm red?

Diesel says red is a very tiring color.

But, Mr. C, red looks so nice

against the snow.

It's not me, is it?

No, of course not, James.

Red is bright and cheerful.

- Good.

- Just like my sparkle.

Or at least it was,

and must be again!

I'm sorry. I'm going to the windmill

to search for something important.

Now off to work.

Okay. Keep your steam up.

What happened?

Where's the windmill?

That's where I'm supposed to be.

Now I've lost my sense of direction.

Now my gold dust really is all gone.

If I can't find the source for making

more, the consequences will be bad.

I saw them in my dream last night.

My family never told me what to do

in a gold dust crisis.

They only said,

"If you can't remember the clue...

the windmill will remind you."

But where is the windmill?

And what is the clue?

Smile, you steamers.

It's a sunny day.

It's not sunny, 'cause Mr. C's

not at the windmill. I looked.

I think his sparkle's all gone.

My smoke box doesn't feel sunny.

It feels stuffed up.

Nasty fumes from dingy Diesel.

And Diesel is after the lost engine.

And if he finds her,

I fear that will destroy us all.

What, even an engine as big as me?

Yes, Gordon, even you.

Say it, don't spray it, Thomas.

I've still got sneezing powder

up my funnel.

Now I'm going to look

for Mr. Conductor.

Let us get back to work.

That's what he would want.

How about a race, Thomas?

Sorry, Bertie. I can't today.

I have to be a really useful engine

and solve some mysteries instead.

I guess that means I win.

Perhaps another day.

What's that?

What's this?

"I notice you left

your thinking cap behind.

Try these instead.

They're good for the brain.

Gone fishing. Rabbit."

Well, well, well!

How very thoughtful.

Plane. Drain.

Mountain. Fountain.

That might be something.

I think I'll try the celery.

Sausage. Bicycle.

Toothpaste. Beach.

Wait a minute.

Beach.

Beach! That's it! That's it!

I have to find a bellflower.

I need to make a call.

It's a summer Sunday and I'm under

A cloud that shades my happiest blunder

Catching the wave of another

This easy life

I never thought that I

Could ever give my life to one girl

I feel like I'm finished

Washed up and unaccomplished

I've dissolved too soon

Thinking of swimming on a Sunday

To a lady more fair

than the spray and the cool

That's my shell phone!

- Hello?

- Junior? Junior is that you?

Oh, hi, Cous. Are you in a tunnel?

This isn't a very good line.

Where are you?

I'm in paradise.

- I got on cloud nine, and here I am.

- Listen to me.

You've got to come

to the Island of Sodor right now.

Now? But I'm waiting

on the perfect wave!

No, you're not!

You're coming here.

You have to help me find the source

of our family's gold dust.

- What is the source?

- That's the trouble. I haven't a clue.

And I've used up most

of my gold dust, too.

What?

Then go to Shining Time Station first...

and in my signal house,

in the box under the staircase...

you'll find my emergency whistle

with the last of my supply.

Please take care of this and...

don't talk to anyone about the buffers!

What buffers?

This is a really bad line.

Hello!

My shell phone's not working properly.

You've got to come here right away!

I'm counting on you!

Hello?

I want my money back.

Shining Time?

What does that mean?

Do you want me to get off here?

Where is everyone?

What have you brought me here for?

That's gonna leave a mark! Oh!

Maybe it's in here.

Oh, cake!

Ugh, that's not cake!

How cute. Six little...

Five little glass figurines.

Hello?

This is too much.

I've got to get back to the island.

I've got to get to cousin.

- Hiya. Who are you?

- I'm Lily. Who are you?

C Junior.

Did I drop some sunglasses

when I came in here?

I don't know.

Oh, well, I might as well use

some more of this stuff.

See you, Lily.

What is this stuff?

The magic is gone.

Why did I take my gold dust

for granted?

I can't help without my gold dust.

What is the source of my gold dust?

Is someone there?

Thomas, is that you?

Mr. Conductor?

- Mr. Conductor!

- Thomas?

Oh, Mr. Conductor, where are you?

How could I possibly say that

I'm really useful now?

Excuse me. Are you Lily?

Yeah.

Hi. I'm StaceyJones.

I'm manager here.

Your grandpa's very upset.

You must've gotten on the wrong train.

I'll take you to Muffle Mountain.

Thank you.

Stacey, did you know my grandma?

My mother did.

She said Tasha was a wonderful dancer.

I think Grandpa

liked to call Grandma "Lady."

Lady?

Yes. I heard him say that name

when they were talking.

I wish...

Oh, never mind.

Stacey, I'm a little nervous.

Well, maybe your grandpa is, too.

It's been a while

since you've seen each other.

Hello, Burnett.

Stacey.

Hello, Lily.

Hi, Grandpa.

Have a good evening.

- Thanks, Stacey. Good night.

- Stacey?

- You said, "I wish."

- I wish?

Oh, I wish you'd come back

and see us tomorrow at Shining Time...

if your grandpa will let you.

Here, Grandpa.

This is a friendship bracelet.

Grandma taught me how to make one

when I was little.

This one's for you.

Thank you, Lily.

As the sound of Lady's magic...

echoed through the night

on Muffle Mountain...

the engines on Sodor had her very much

in their thoughts.

Thomas, I was thinking.

How does Mr. Conductor travel here?

By gold dust.

But if there's a lost engine,

maybe there's a lost railway, too.

Mr. Conductor's railway!

The journey gets bumpier

and bumpier.

That's what Mr. Conductor told me.

He talked about buffers in his sleep!

Buffers are at the end of a railway.

I think that's how he travels here,

on a secret railway.

Belonging to the lost engine!

Percy, you are clever.

My wheels are suddenly feeling

very wobbly.

I think Diesel's around here!

I'm sorry, you two.

Diesel heard every word you said.

I'm going after him

to see what he does next.

You'd better get the mail delivered.

You're very brave, Toby.

Diesel won't bother

with an old engine like me.

He thinks I'm really useless.

I've been working on the railway

All the livelong day
