[waits at the station]
5, 6, 7, 8...
[pulls up beside Gordon]
Who do we appreciate? Practicing your numbers, Gordon. That's a good engine.
I'm counting how many seconds late you are. What does that sign say?
Hmm… [reads the sign] "Sodor Railway, really reliable and right on time. Signed, head of the railway, Sir Topham Hatt."
But you weren't on time, little Thomas.
And you're being bossy, Gordon. [Gordon scoffs again] Now, please excuse me. I'm meeting Mr. Conductor. He's looking after us while Sir Topham Hatt takes a much needed holiday.
Oh, I think we can take care of ourselves.
Diesel 10 [roars through the station]
Get outta my way! I have unfinished business here, and I wanna finish it fast!
[shivers]
Diesel 10's back!
Yes, 10 out of 10 for devious deeds and brutal strength! The blast from the past who hates steam engines!
Maybe we do need Mr. Conductor here after all. On time!
Mr. C [narrating]: And by the way, I think that you're going to help me and Thomas somewhere in this story.
Ooh. If Diesel has unfinished business, there's sure to be trouble right around the corner.
[a fly buzzes in front of him]
Sandal, fly! Boot, fly! Shoo, fly! That's it! [Thomas shows up] Better still? Buzz off!
[hits the buffers too hard]
Botheration!
You weren't concentrating, Thomas. Lucky for you that the buffers were there.
That's what buffers are for - to stop engines from crashing. What are you doing in the sheds, James?
I'm feeling a little blue, which isn't so hot when you're red. I was naughty, and Sir Topham Hatt told me to think about all the ways I can be really useful, then I could come out again.
He's just trying to make this a better railway for steam engines.
[notices Diesel 10]
Uh...
...The harder we work, the less he'll need Diesels to help.
Diesel 10 Help you? [chortles]
Diesel 10 You always need help. Because steam engines are cowardly, cranky, worn out hunks of metals who couldn't hurt a fly!
Diesel 10 Yes, you are!
Diesel 10 Are! Now, I've come back to find the lost steam engine.
Diesel 10 I'm gonna destroy her and dominate you, and then you'll be nothing but useless scrap! [to his claw] Right, Pinchy?
Big bully! [Diesel 10 laughs and leaves] STINKER!
We're really useful engines. You won't dominate us, and you won't destroy her. We won't let you, neither will Mr. Conductor. I'm off to fetch him now!
[In the sheds, the steam engines are snoring. Mr. C writes in his book, yawns and swaps his nightcap from "thinking" to "sleeping". He winds up his alarm clock, and picks up baseball bat.] [chuckles]
So, who dropped the ball then? [catches a beach ball] 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 instead? [to the beach ball] Go outside and play? Well, I can understand that. [to the bat] What do you think? [makes the bat hit the ball; mock disappointment] Why do you keep hitting him like that? You gonna have to have a time out. [throws bat on his bed and makes his hot cocoa]
[Diesel 10 appears and laughs evilly] [sips cocoa]
Just a little sweeter, I think. [adds sugar to cocoa]
Diesel 10 All right, Pinchy, my little bucket of badness, time to feast yourself.
[sips cocoa again, and is satisfied]
Ahh. Now that's better. [Diesel 10 tears off part of the sheds] Whoa! [removes his night cap and puts on his conductor hat, as the steam engines wake up in alarm, and Diesel 10 tears off more of the sheds and laughs evilly] Ahh! Whoa!
[alarmed]
Cinders and ashes! It's Diesel!
Diesel 10 [Diesel 10 laughs evilly]
Hello, Twinkle Toes! I got a plan and you're not in it!
You can't catch me, Diesel! [blows on his magic whistle twice, but only a little gold comes out of it]
Diesel 10 [laughs coldly]
Losing your sparkle, huh? What perfect timing. Now where is that lost engine?
Diesel 10 You're not clever enough to stop me.
Diesel 10 No, you're not! Ah-- [sees Mr. Conductor hold up a bag of sugar] What–?! Is that...?!
That's right, it's sugar, Diesel! And if I throw this in your tank, it'll seize you up for good!
Diesel 10 [grunts and chuffs away]
Make the most of tonight, Twinkle Toes, because you won't like tomorrow! Neither will that... that line of tin kettles! [to his claw] Shut up, Pinchy!
[after the diesel leaves]
Mr. Conductor, but what happened to your sparkle?
I don't know, Thomas, I'll just have to sleep on that.
[confused]
On your sparkle?
No, Thomas. On the problem of what happened to it.
Oh, 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.
Diesel 10 [after Thomas comes out of the Magic Buffers, Diesel 10, Splatter, and Dodge can see him with Lady]
Ah-ha! There's the blue puffball, and look who he's with! Splodge, come and destroy!
N-No, y-you do it yourself.
Yeah. What does that mean?
Run, Lady! Quickly, and I'm going to help you!
B Burnett
So am I, my Lady. I'll not let you down again.
Diesel 10 Ahh, who needs you, Splodge?
Diesel 10 Not the one I want. She escaped me once before as long as she exists so do the others but if she can be destroyed…
Diesel 10 Yeah, destroyed!
Uh, there's 1 small problem; boss.
Yeah, Mr. Conductor's coming, and he won't let you destroy her.
Diesel 10 I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT, I'LL GET HIM TOO WITH PINCHY! [Pinchy raises up high, makes chomping noises; hits him in the face] Ow! Pinchy, I'd hate it when you do that!
Diesel 10 It's time to finally put Twinkle Toes' lights out. This is a job FOR THE BOSS! [Pinchy chomps]
I've got to delay him, I'm going to distract him. Hmm… hmm… [rings his bell]
Diesel 10 It's the Old Teapot! Smash him! [Pinchy raises up high]
You shouldn't push that! [Pinchy pushed the shed, the roof traps them underneath]
Diesel 10 [Pinchy chomps the roof]
Pinchy, get back here! Don't make me come up here! I'd hate it when you do that!
[chuffs backward]
Good show!
Did you mean to let the roof fall in?
Diesel 10 I always mean what I do (you rattletraps)! [groans]

Diesel was in a dump (but the steam engines were still right on track).

Morning (Henry). What's the matter?
I've got… [sniffs] boiler ache.
And I'm collecting 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 trucks of special Island of Sodor coal for you.
Oh, thank you (Thomas). Special coal will make me feel [sneezes] much better!
[backs into the trucks]
I wish I could make Mr. Conductor feel better (too) by finding him.
B Bertie
[the 6th truck goes zooming into a pair of buffers with a nearby tumbleweed and disappears into them; Thomas pulls the remaining trucks as Bertie passes by]
Hello (Thomas and your 5 coal trucks)! Vroom-vroom!
5? But I'm supposed to have 6.
Hello (Percy).
Oh (Thomas), I've been worried about you, 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 leads to the secret railway.
And the grotto is the lost engine's special platform!
Percy, you protect those buffers from Diesel.
And I'll find Mr. Conductor.
Because you're a brave engine (Percy).
Oh I forgot.
[The scene changes to the viaduct to Mr. Conductor walks along the side of the tracks before the viaduct when Diesel 10 approaches behind him] .
Diesel 10 Hello (Twinkle-Toes), remember me?
[Mr. Conductor gasps and puts his hat on running] .
Fat Hatt won't have much use for you looking like that. [Cackles and turns his claw as Mr. Conductor climbs up the hill and trips] Oh I see you forgot to bring the sugar, how careless of you. [Usies his claw to pick up a panicking Mr. Conductor] Say hello to Pinchy!
[He cackles and chuffs again over to the viaduct before cackling again and moves Mr. Conductor around in his claw] .
[to Mr. Conductor] Okay (Twinkle Toes). I know about the buffers.
[notices the bridge crumbling]
That's what I saw in my dream! It's coming true! My universe is starting to crumble!
Diesel 10 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! [Mr. Conductor grabs a blue pair of scissors] You got 10 seconds!
Diesel 10 [sees Junior who landed on the roof after riding the Sodor Grain Windmill]
Aha! Twinkle Toes Junior!
[as the beach bag falls off his shoulder]
Oh, no (my beach bag)! Oops!
Diesel 10 You won't be doing any surfing up here (Mr. Kahuna)!
Diesel 10 Hang on tight (Moon Doggy)!
I'm sorry (Lily). I'm sorry (Cous). I haven't been whatever it is - responsible, reliable and really useful (but I will be)! [smoke hisses from inside the Ironworks] I will be! [James screams, Diesel 10 skids to a halt and catapults on him] James! [grabs out his whistle trying to escape (but his magic fails)]
Diesel 10 Ah! So you've lost your sparkle too, huh? Bye bye (Twinkle Toes)!
[realizes his whistle lost all his gold dust]
Oops, it's empty.
Diesel 10 Here we go!
Junior, what do we wanna do?
We'll think of something!
Diesel 10 [as James chuffs back away from him along with Junior]
That's it.
I found you some more (Lily). I promise. If I'm gonna be any help at all, it's now or never. I've got to use up the rest of this stuff.
Diesel 10 Are you ready?
James (the Brains). Get us out of here! [blows his whistle]
Diesel 10 [seeing that Junior and James vanished]
What the…?
Diesel 10 [after Thomas comes out of the Magic Buffers, Diesel 10 & Splatter & Dodge can see him with Lady]
Aha! There's the blue puffball, and look who he's with! Splodge, come and destroy!
[fed up with his boss's belligerent arrogance his lack of respect appreciation for them]
No, you do it yourself.
[Equally disgusted with his boss's attitude behavior]
We don't like you.
Yeah, what does that mean?
[Approvingly]
It's a good word.
Run (Lady), quickly and I'm going to help you!
BS Burnett Stone
[walking on board Lady's cab]
So am I my Lady, I'll not let you down again.
Diesel 10 Ahh, who needs you (Splodge)?
Watch out for the viaduct, it's dangerous!
[Thomas & Lady race on as Diesel 10 chases them from behind and evilly laughs, Mr. Conductor realizes something and screams] .
Lady, that engine's name is Lady, she's part of the clue to the source of—
B Both
The gold dust!
[They both pause and scream, we cut to Diesel 10 chasing Thomas & Lady] .
Diesel 10 Now I'll get you (Burnett Stone).
BS Burnett Stone
No you won't because the magic you refuse to believe in will get the better of you.
Diesel 10 You can run, but you can't hide. [To his claw] Right (Pinchy)? [Laughs and snaps his claw] Pinchy's hungry.
BS Burnett Stone
Come on (Lady).
BS Burnett Stone
Well done (Thomas)! Well done!
Diesel 10 [Thomas whistles after escaping from the damaged Big Dipper] [seeing the broken Big Dipper]
Huh? What's going on? Hold it! No! Hold it! [falls off and Pinchy grabs the sleeper] Puffball! Teapot! [the sleeper breaks] TIN KETTLE! [lands into a barge filled with sludge] Oh, well. Nice time of a year for a cruise! [chuckles nervously]
[back at the Sodor Wishing Well]
But Mr. Conductor, you still don't have your gold dust.
