Steamer
I make that herd to be at least a hundred thousand, maybe even a million. It's gonna be hours before they clear this track.
Smokey
A tough nut to crack.
We are in some serious jelly.
Steamer
And a jam.
Smokey
Tight spot.
Steamer
Up a creek.
Smokey
Up a tree.
Steamer
in the grass.
[The throttle suddenly becomes jammed, and Steamer tries to get it to work again, but it was no use. The train began to accelerate faster and faster.]
We're going pretty fast.
Tell the engineer to slow down.
Steamer
[unintentionally breaks the cotter pin holding the throttle]
Ah! Jumping jeepers, the cotter pin sheared off!
Smokey
What?
Steamer
The pin!
Smokey
Where?
Steamer
There!
Smokey and Steamer
[The cotter pin falls through a vent.]
Oh, no!
They can't hear me.
They can't? [notices that they are approaching two preposterous signs that read "Danger 179-degree grade" and "Use Low Gear", and gasps] I don't like the look of this. Quick, under the safety bar.
[scared to death]
Is every... Is everything alright? [The conductor pulls his robe belt off and ties it around the children to the safety bar.] What should we do?!
Well, considering the fact that we have lost communication with the engineer, we are standing totally exposed on the front of the locomotive, the train appears to be accelerating uncontrollably, and we are rapidly approaching Glacier Gulch, [Hero Girl whimpers] which just happens to be the steepest downhill grade in the world, I suggest that we all hold on...TIGHTLY!!
Smokey and Steamer
[The train speeds down the roller coaster-like track drop while the three scream loudly.]
Whoa! The pin!
[They try to grab the cotter pin, but Steamer gulps it into his stomach, leaving him shocked.]
Jiminy Christmas, the ice has frozen over the tracks!
[The conductor is right. The train hits the massive ice lake and skids and skates on the ice. Smokey uses a shovel to force the cotter pin out of Steamer's stomach, but it flies out of the cab and onto the ice, fracturing it. The train hits an iceberg, causing it to lean sideways and Hero Girl almost falls off, but is grabbed by the conductor and Hero Boy.]
Hold on! Hold on! No, no, no! Come on! Watch your step! Come on sweetie. Up you go. Up you go! No, no, no. Put your feet on here! Little adventure, huh? [The conductor turns to Hero Boy.] Young man, quick thinking on your part!
