Thomas and the Magic Railroad The Movie Page #5

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's this?

Oh, hello, Hattie.

No, no. He's hanging

around here somewhere.

Yes, Sir Topham Hat, sir.

No, he just wanted to be friendly.

No, he is not a dog.

Let's just say he's a puppy

in need of a good trainer.

No, nothing to worry about, sir.

Good-bye, sir.

Cous, this is Lily.

She's staying with Grandpa Stone.

Hello, Lily.

Hello.

Junior? Junior?

What are you doing up there?

Come down.

It's too windy!

This is just like the fun fair!

Give us two seconds.

Two seconds is all it takes

for you to land in trouble!

- Aha! Twinkle Toes Junior!

- Oh, no, my beach bag!

You won't be doing any surfing

up here, Mr. Kahuna.

Really? Watch me.

Hang on tight, Moon Doggie!

Diesel's highjacked him!

What's gonna happen toJunior now?

My family's pretty good at getting

themselves out of trouble. Eventually.

I don't know what eventually means...

but it sounds very, very long.

- Where's Lily?

- I wish I knew.

I'm sorry. She wasn't at the station

when I went back for her.

It's okay, Patch.

We'll find her.

Don't worry.

I am brave. I am brave.

Thomas says I'm brave,

so I'm brave.

It's not easy being brave.

Shiver my pistons!

There's Splatter and Dodge!

They found the buffers.

Oh, now what's going to happen?

- Howdy, partner. Excuse me.

- Oh, that's just nothing.

That nothing was something.

These must be the buffers

Diesel's looking for.

Are we supposed

to go through them?

Not we, you.

Not me, you.

This is a job for the boss.

- We'll tell him tomorrow.

- Yeah, tomorrow's good.

I better hurry back

and warn Thomas.

I was doing my best

to keep Lily cheerful.

I knew she was worried about

being late for her grandpa.

Mr. Conductor,

I was supposed to be back by sunset.

You know, Lily, perhaps

your grandpa can guess where you are.

- He can?

- Maybe.

Because I think

he's been here himself, long ago.

And if he can help,

I do wish he'd hurry.

I haven't told Junior this,

but soon he'll grow as weak as I am.

Junior said there used to be an engine

that traveled on the magic railroad.

And if only we could find that, we

could still head back to Shining Time.

Oh, that engine disappeared...

never to be seen

or heard from again.

I have to tell you something,

Mr. C.

I've heard a train whistle, and it

sounded like it came from the mountain.

Mountain. I just remembered

another part of the clue.

"Stoke up the magic in the mountain

and the lady will smile."

But we need

more information, Lily.

And I know that your grandpa could help

if he would just believe that he could.

Lady?

She can whistle.

I've heard her.

Yeah, so have I.

It's because she's magic.

This must be the map

of her magic railroad.

But the railroad's energy

is fading away.

I sensed it

when we were out riding.

Lily and I were traveling

on the ground above it.

The railroad needs Lady...

but I don't know

her special secret.

And I need to know it now

more than ever.

- Because of Lily?

- Yes, because of Lily.

So, Thomas, we must get Lily

back to her grandpa now...

in case Diesel

gets rid of the railway.

But how can Lily go

without gold dust?

Only in the lost engine.

- Unless...

- Unless?

Thomas, will you please

take Lily?

Through the buffers?

But what if I go on the railway

and my wheels don't work?

- But what if they do?

- But what if... if...

- Yes?

- What if it's dark?

- It will be for a while.

- And cold.

- Maybe.

- And how will I get back again?

Because you're a really useful engine

and will find a way.

Then I'll try.

I promise I'll get you home

to your grandpa, Lily.

Follow me, partner.

Right this way to Bufferville.

- Just a walk in the park.

- We're going through, Lily.

You're on your own from here on in,

little buckaroo!

Little engines

can do big things.

It is dark and cold and bumpy,

but I'm not afraid.

Oh, there's

the missing coal truck.

Coal truck? "Stoke up the magic

in the mountain."

That's part of Mr. Conductor's clue

to his gold dust.

And, Lily, that's what you do with coal:

Stoke it up to make steam.

We're going to be really reliable

and help Mr. Conductor.

We're going back

for that coal truck.

Buffers. Coal truck.

We're starting to solve

the mysteries, Lily.

You're a really

useful engine, Thomas.

- Lily, where are we?

- Muffle Mountain, Thomas.

I think I feel

a little dizzy.

I can't go any further.

My wheels won't let me.

Then I'll be back, Thomas. I promise.

But I must find Grandpa.

It's getting windy up here.

Bust my boiler!

I've left

the coal truck behind!

Where's Grandpa?

Can you take me to him?

- Jump up.

- I knew I could count on you.

Stop, wheels. Stop!

Oh, Lily,

I'm so glad to see you.

There's this island with talking trains,

and they said you might have been there.

But Mr. Conductor's very sick,

and Junior's in danger...

and I had to leave

poor Thomas behind.

Please help me.

I'd like to, Lily.

Nothing seems to work.

This is the lost engine

from long ago.

Now we can go back to the island

and bring Mr. Conductor and Junior home.

I can't make her steam.

I've tried all the different coals

in the valley.

Lady.

- Is that her name?

- Yes.

Coal. Special coal

from the Island of Sodor.

That's what Lady needs.

There's a coal truck

up at the top of the mountain.

- Do you think you could get some?

- Of course I will.

I'm sorry, Lily and Cous, I haven't been

responsible, reliable, really useful...

but I will be!

James!

So you've lost

your sparkle, too, huh?

Bye-bye, Twinkle Toes.

Oh! It's empty.

- Here we go.

- Junior, what are we gonna do?

We'll think of something.

That's it.

I'll find you some more, Lily.

I promise.

But if I'm going to be

any help at all, it's now or never.

I've got to use up

the rest of this stuff.

- Are you ready?

- No, we're not.

James the brains,

get us out of here.

Now we are.

What the...

Bye, James.

Sorry I've been

so long, Cous.

But better late than never?

Junior, we are all out

of gold dust, aren't we?

Bankrupt.

It's a beautiful day!

We're down,

but we're not out.

No, we're out...

but we are not down.

Did Grandma love Lady

as much as you do?

Did she take

a ride on her?

Grandma loved her

because I loved her.

But she never took

a ride on Lady.

I couldn't fix her in time.

Lily, look.

The railroad's

getting its energy back.

Well, my Lady, the lights

are all green for you now.

Green for glory.

- Tasha would have loved this journey.

- Yes, she would.

And she'd love it

that you're with me now.

So, Burnett,

you didn't forget about magic.

It's safe inside you.

You've found her!

And she's beautiful!

We're on the Island of Sodor.

Stop, Grandpa. Stop, Lady.

Hello, Junior.

Hello, Mr. C.

Mr. Conductor,

this is my grandpa.

I'm glad you were able

to find your way back.

Junior, do you realize

who this is?

I reckon

this is one beautiful engine.

This is the lost engine?

Are we glad to see you.

Now we can go back to Shining Time.

We won't make it back to Shining Time
