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.
James the Red Engine [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!
James 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?
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.
James [notices Diesel 10]
Uh...
James Thomas...?
...The harder we work, the less he'll need Diesels to help.
You always need help. Because steam engines are cowardly, cranky, worn out hunks of metals who couldn't hurt a fly!
James [scoffs]
No, we're not!
James Aren't!
Are! Now, I've come back to find the lost steam engine.
James What?
I'm gonna destroy her and dominate you, and then you'll be nothing but useless scrap! [to his claw] Right, Pinchy?
James 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!
James What lost engine?
Mr. C [narrating]: Far away on Sodor, the steam engines were confident, cheerful and determined not to be bullied by Diesel. Only James, who now felt really useful too, was complaining.
James Wobbly wheels!
James Thomas, I should have collected Mr. Conductor.
James is right, little Thomas. [chuckles] Collecting Mr. Conductor is an important job. Hmm? Important is big. James is a big engine, hmm?
James Hmm!
You, Thomas, are small. Small-small-small, teeny-weeny-weeny. And I, I'm a big blue engine, who knows everything. [chuckles]
Bossy Sprockets! All that steam has gone through your funnel.
Splatter Hey, there they are.
I'm not good at backing up.
What's important is to stand up on our own wheels to Diesel.
Toby's right. Diesel knows that the lost engine in the legend really exists.
James What engine?
Of an engine whose magic makes her more powerful than Diesel will ever be. That's why he wants to find her.
Then we'd better find her first.
James [comes out of the shed]
Leave it to the big engines, Percy!
Little Engines can do big things, especially when they have nice blue paint like me.
Hey, hey! Just watch what happens with that blue puffball...
...When Harold the Flopper Chopper flies past here.
HH Harold the Helicopter
[flies by]
Routine, flyby chaps, hello!
The boss dumped sneezing powder everywhere.
Let's start laughing now!
H Harold
[flies past the sheds, causing dust to fly everywhere]
Ooh, sorry, troops. A bit of a dust up. Love to stay and clean up. Got to go, bye now! [flies away]
[Thomas, Splatter and Dodge are covered in sneezing powder.] [covered in sneezing powder]
Uh, did you mean to look like that?!
[covered in sneezing powder]
Uh, no!
[covered in sneezing powder]
This must be Diesel's doing! [leaves] Choo! Choo!
[reading letter, as Sir Topham Hatt]
"Dear Mr. Conductor. Where were you? My wife said she couldn't miss our little holiday. We'll telephone to make sure you have arrived. Signed, Sir Topham Hatt." [quietly] Sir Topham Hatt. [removes his hat and puts on Sir Topham Hatt's hat, and looks in mirror; imitating Sir Topham Hatt] Where were you? [laughs and looks at picture of Sir Topham Hatt, who looks angry; Mr. C takes off hat, and then he Looks at picture of Sir Topham Hatt, who has an open mouth, and as places it rack, the picture of Sir Topham Hatt returns to smiling again, then the phone rings and Mr. C dives for phone, almost drops photo of Lady, but grabs it, and answers phone.] Oh, good afternoon, sir! A real honor, sir, like my family before me… and how is Lady Hatt? [puts photo of Lady hat back on desk] Yes. Watch out for Diesel definitely. But keep an eye on Henry's health certainly. Uh, yes, sir, the 3 R's - reading, writing and arithmetic. Uh, I mean... I will be responsible, reliable, and really useful. Yes, sir. We will all get a good night's sleep. Looking forward to a hard day tomorrow. Goodbye, sir. [hangs up phone and sighs]
BB Bertie the Bus
Smile, you steamers. It's a sunny day. Vroom-vroom!
James 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)! [chuckles]
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?!
James [Thomas sneezes]
Say it, don't spray it, Thomas!
I've still got sneezing powder up my funnel.
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)]
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.
James Junior, what do we wanna do?
We'll think of something!
[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.
James No, we're not!
James (the Brains). Get us out of here! [blows his whistle]
James Now we are!
[seeing that Junior and James vanished]
What the…?
