Thomas and the Magic Railroad The Movie Page #4

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.

Who wants to work

a livelong day anyway?

There he is.

Come in! Come in and join

the party, Splodge!

Hooray! We're gonna have a party.

- I love parties.

- Who's got the balloons?

What?

Correction.

Join the party that's over.

Just like Twinkle Toe's magic railway

is gonna be over.

Gone, like the lost engine

and the buffers that lead to her.

- What are you gonna do?

- That's a good question.

It's time to put Twinkle Toes'

lights out.

This is a job for the boss!

I've got to delay him.

I've got to distract him.

It's the old teapot!

Smash him!

Pinchy, get back here!

I hate it when you do this!

Good show!

Boss, did you mean to let

the roof fall in?

All the way in?

I always mean what I do,

you rattle traps!

Diesel was in a dump...

but the steam engines

were still right on track.

He's a really useful engine

You know

All the other engines

They'll tell you so

He huffs and puffs and whistles

Rushing to and fro

He's the really useful engine

we adore

He's a really useful engine

You know

'Cause the last controller

He told him so

Now he's got a workshop

to call his very own

He's the really useful engine

we adore

He's the one

He's the number one

Thomas the tank engine

He's the really useful engine

We adore

Morning, Henry.

What's the matter?

I've got boiler ache.

And I'm collecting one, two, three,

four, five, six trucks...

of special Island of Sodor coal

for you.

Oh, thank you, Thomas.

Special coal will make me feel

much better.

But I wish I could make Mr. Conductor

feel better too, by finding him.

Hello, Thomas

and your five coal trucks.

Five? But I'm supposed to have six.

Hello, Percy.

Thomas, I've been worried.

Bertie says you lost a coal truck today.

Yes. It disappeared when I was at

the buffers near the little grotto.

Maybe those are the buffers

that lead to the secret railway.

And the grotto is

the lost engine's special platform!

Yes!

Percy, you protect those buffers

from Diesel...

and I'll find Mr. Conductor.

- Why me?

- Because you're a brave engine, Percy.

Oh, I forgot.

Hello, Twinkle Toes!

Remember me?

Fat Hat won't have much use for you

looking like that.

Oh, I see you forgot

to bring the sugar.

How careless of you.

Say hello to Pinchy!

Okay, Twinkle Toes,

I know about the buffers.

That's what I saw in my dream!

It's coming true!

My universe is starting to crumble!

And I know about the magic railway.

And when I find that engine,

you and all those puffballs...

will be history!

Now tell me where

the buffers are! Now!

You got ten seconds.

Ten, nine...

eight, seven...

six, five...

four, three, two...

Too late, Diesel!

Did you put all this here for me?

You must've known that I was coming.

How kind of you.

Oh! I'm at the windmill.

That's what I call a perfect landing.

This must be the clue to unlock

the source of the gold dust.

"Stoke up the magic in the mountain

and the lady will smile...

then watch the swirls

that spin so well."

Where has the writing gone?

- So, Boss...

- How come you let Twinkle Toes escape?

Oh, that!

Well, I did it on purpose.

I was testing him

to see if he could escape.

- Liar, liar.

- Pants on fire.

All right! Playtime's over, Splodge.

Now it's time for the next lesson.

I call it "How to stop being stupid."

That's gonna ruin my facial.

Bet you can't climb that tree.

See?

- Where'd you learn to do that?

- On my fire escape.

Hi. I'm Patch.

I'm Lily.

Do you live around here?

Yes. My mom and dad run the stables.

- Morning, Patch.

- Good morning, Mr. Stone.

I'm riding into Shining Town.

Could Lily come with me?

- If she'd like to.

- I'd like to.

Sure, she can go.

Be back by sunset, Lily.

Do you wanna come, too?

I never go there now.

Bye, Grandpa.

So, have you ever ridden

a horse before?

No.

I've always wanted to go this way.

We're following some shadowy lines

I've seen on a map.

They're like railroad tracks

without any rails.

Well, Lady, what are we to do?

It all seemed so much easier

when Tasha and I were children.

Junior?

Presto!

I'd given up on seeing you again.

What's blue, green and red

and goes beep-beep?

A parrot and you mean chirp-chirp.

No, trains. Talking trains.

And I'm off to see them right now

in the Island of Sodor, and cousin.

But I overslept and I'm in a bit

of a hurry. Do you want to come?

Be back by sunset?

I hope so.

I wanna get back to the beach.

What do you think, Mutt?

- Okay.

- Good.

It's this way.

We'll take the shortcut.

Really?

There's two of us.

Oh, well. That means I'll have to use

Cous' extra supply of gold dust.

It doesn't matter.

We'll have plenty more soon.

Can I take this little bit back

for Grandpa?

Be my guest.

I'll take care of it for you.

Ready? Here goes.

You've grown bigger.

Maybe you're smaller.

I'm adjusting to my new surroundings.

This is the only place

this ever happens to me.

A bit bouncy, isn't it?

- Where are we?

- Conductor's railroad.

- Magic railroad?

- Whatever.

We're traveling miles and miles

to the island.

But I don't know if this railroad's

gonna last much longer.

- It'll vanish like the engine.

- What engine?

The engine that traveled this railroad.

Cous and I never saw it.

We don't know what happened to it.

Hey, what's that doing there?

You ready, Lily?

Here are the buffers.

Where are we?

The Island of Sodor, of course.

This way.

- Bogus!

- What's the matter?

I think I'm allergic to grass.

It's a good thing

I like climbing things.

Grass.

What's that noise?

The trains. They talk. We're just too

far away to hear what they're saying.

Good morning.

Annie! Clarabel!

There's Mr. Conductor!

We found him!

Oh, bunko! It's Junior.

- Junior, look!

- It's Thomas!

Thomas, don't look so surprised.

I know you haven't seen me since...

You stuffed party poppers

down my funnel!

- We had a laugh.

- You did.

- You're talking to each other.

- First prize.

Lily, Thomas. Thomas, Lily.

Now, where's my cousin?

- Hi.

- Hello, Lily. Welcome to Sodor.

Come on, Lily.

I'm very at home on trains.

Annie, Clarabel,

I'll send Percy back to fetch you.

We've heard that one before.

- What's the matter?

- Traveling sickness.

What's that shining at the windmill?

Presto, Lily.

I think it's my cousin!

Mr. Conductor! Mr. Conductor!

- Thomas!

- Thank throttles you're safe!

Come on, Lily.

Hey, Cous, what's up?

- Enjoying the sun?

- No, Junior, I am not.

As a matter of fact, I just landed here

after escaping a heavy metal monster.

Junior, where have you been?

Is your sparkle back, Mr. Conductor?

No, Thomas, it isn't.

But I do know the clue.

Stoke up the magic in the mountain...

Darn!

Dither!

Hey, Cous, you're looking terrible.

Why don't we get more gold dust?

I used yours up.

Then you can go back home

and I can go to the beach.

Junior, I want you to listen

to me very carefully.

- I'll get that.

- I've got it.

Hello?

No, this is his cousin.
