Take the magic journey.(taglines)

Young Burnett: Don’t worry Tasha, i'm going to drive this locomotive, but i'll have to take you with me.

Young Tasha: Promise you will, Burnett! Promise!

Young Burnett: I promise.

Stacy:

Hello, Shining Time Station. Manager Stacy Jones speaking. Oh, yes, the 10:15 A.M. from Pelican Falls to Shining Time is right on schedule.

( bell ringing )

The 10:00 A.M. to Lucy's leap is leaving now. Oh, Billy.

Gordon: [waits at the station] 5, 6, 7, 8...

Thomas: [pulls up beside Gordon] Who do we appreciate? Hello Gordon, you’re practicing the numbers, it’s a good engine here on the railway.

Gordon: I'm counting how many seconds late you are. What does that sign say?

Thomas: Hmm… [reads the sign] "Sodor Railway, really reliable and right on time. Signed, head of the railway, Sir Topham Hatt."

Gordon: But you weren't on time, little Thomas.

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.

Gordon: Oh, I think we can take care of ourselves.

Diesel 10: [rushes through the station] Get outta my way! I have unfinished business here, and I wanna finish it fast!!

Gordon: [quivers] Diesel 10's back! Oh!

Thomas: Yes, ten out of ten for devious deeds and brutal strength, the blast from the past who hates engines on the railway.

Gordon: Maybe we do need Mr. Conductor here after all. On time!

James: Sandal, fly! Boo, fly! Shoo, fly! That's it. [Thomas reverses into the yard] Better still, buzz off!

Thomas: [bumps into the buffers] Botheration!

James: You weren't concentrating, Thomas, lucky for you that the buffers were there.

Thomas: That's what buffers are for to stop some locomotives from crashing into things. 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 can come out again.

[Diesel 10 rolls up behind them]

Thomas: We were trying to make this a better place for engines who live here on the railway.

James: [notices Diesel 10] Uh, Thomas...?

Thomas: Sir Topham Hatt says why this is the harder that you work here on the railway, it’s the less that you need diesel locomotives to help some steam locomotives.

Diesel 10: Help you?! [laughs] This is not what happens when you don’t need help, it’s because engines here on the railway are cowardly, cranky, worn-out hunks of metal who couldn't hurt a fly.

James: No, we're not!

Diesel 10: Yes, you are!

James: Aren't!

Diesel 10: Are! But now that i'm here on Sodor, i'm just searching for a lost tank locomotive called Lady.

James: What?

Diesel 10: Lady must be out there somewhere, i'm going to destroy her and dominate you, and then, you could be nothing more than useless scrap. Right, Pinchy? [rolls away]

James: Big bully! STINKER!

Thomas: When we live here on the railway where we’re really useful engines, you can’t dominate us, and you can’t kill her, we can’t have you, neither can Mr. Conductor.

James: What lost tank locomotive?

Patch: There, Mutt. The job's finished. I reckon Shining Time has the best welcome sign of any time in our valley. [Mutt barks] Well, I'm glad you agree.

Diesel 10: Pinchy, you've captured the real me? I mean, that's beautiful. I could cry.

Splodge: Uh, boss? Now, we're here.

Diesel 10: Now alright, listen you two. I've got a job for you, Splodge.

Splatter: Actually, it's Splatter.

Dodge: And Dodge.

Diesel 10: I ain't got time to say both names!

Splodge: Oh, oh well.

Diesel 10: It's because i'm here to Sodor in search of a lost tank locomotive called Lady who needs to be out there somewhere, i just need to search for her now.

Splatter: Oh, that's easy.

Dodge: Yeah, they're everywhere.

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...

Splatter: Destroy?!

Dodge: Did you say destroy?

Splatter: D-word?

Dodge: Like hurt?

Diesel 10: Yeah, destroyed!

Dodge: Uh, there's one small problem there.

Splatter: Yeah, Mr. Conductor is coming and he won't let you destroy it.

Dodge: He won't let you.

Diesel 10: I can do whatever I want, i'll get him too, with Pinchy! [laughs and raises his claw, but it accidentally hits him in the face] Ow, Pinchy! I hate it when you do that! [Splodge laugh]

Thomas: [puffing around looking for Mr. Conductor] Mr. Conductor, i know where you are when you live very far away, but you always seem to get here on time. [Mr. C appears at the junction] Hello Mr. Conductor, i wanna see if you’re alright, i just need to come with you now.

Mr. Conductor: Yes, Thomas, but, sometimes, everything happens at once, i need to see Sir Topham Hatt to get my orders right away. The journey from Shining Time keeps getting bumpier and bumpier.

Thomas: Does it? [Mr. C blows his whistle and reappears in Thomas's cab] Come on Mr. Conductor, Diesel 10 came here to Sodor in search of a lost tank locomotive called Lady.

Mr. Conductor: Don’t worry Thomas, Sir Topham Hatt warns me about the lost tank locomotive called Lady, i'll just pop in and out with my sparkle wherever he goes and keep him in order, i hope.

Lily: Grandpa's been so sad since Grandma Tasha died, and he never comes here to see us.

Mrs. Stone: Well, maybe your visit will cheer him up. Did you get his present?

Lily: Here. I'm making him a friendship bracelet.

Mrs. Stone: Honey, that's beautiful.

Lily: But I'd rather just stay here with you.

Mrs. Stone: I know. Come here. [she and Lily hug]

Lily: [points to the fire escape] I'm gonna go up this way.

Mrs. Stone: Okay. [Lily goes to the fire escape] Be careful.

Lily: You always say that.

Mrs. Stone: [as she goes into the building] See you in a minute.

Lily: [to her stuffed bluebird] You're coming with me to Grandpa's, Bluebird. I know how much you like to travel.

Toby: What's important is to stand up on our own wheels to Diesel 10?

Henry: Toby is right, Diesel 10 knows why the railway is realizing that the lost tank locomotive called Lady and the legend really exists.

James: What locomotive?

Percy: What legend?

Henry: Of an tank locomotive called Lady whose magic makes her more powerful than Diesel 10 would ever be, it's because he wants to find her.

Percy: But we better search for her now: Lady is a locomotive who must be out there somewhere.

James: [puffs out of the shed] Don't worry Percy, the railway is counting on us, leave it to the big engines.

Thomas: Railway engines can do big things, especially when they have nice blue paint like me.

Mr. Conductor: [picks up a baseball bat and 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're 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: Alright, Pinchy, my little bucket of badness, time to feast yourself.

Mr. Conductor: [sips cocoa again and is satisfied] Ahh. Now, that's better. [Diesel 10 tears off part of the sheds' construction] Mr. Conductor removes his night cap and he puts on his train conductor hat while the locomotives wake up in alarm, Diesel 10 tears off more of the sheds and laughs, causing Mr. Conductor to fall on his bed. Ah! Whoa!

Thomas: [alarmed] Cinders and ashes, It's Diesel 10!

Gordon: Diesel?! Oh, sh*t!

Diesel 10: [laughs evilly] Hello, Twinkle Toes, i’ve got a plan and you're not in it now.

Mr. Conductor: You can't chase me, Diesel 10! [blows on his whistle twice, but only a little gold comes out of it]

Diesel 10: [laughs coldly] Losing your sparkle, huh? What perfect timing. But where’s that lost tank locomotive now?

Mr. Conductor: You won't find her here.

Diesel 10: You're not clever enough to stop me.

Mr. Conductor: Oh, yes, I am!

Diesel 10: No, you're not! Ah- [sees Mr. Conductor hold up a bag of sugar] What–?! Is that...?!

Mr. Conductor: 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 rolls 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! [leaves]

Thomas: Mr. Conductor, but what happened to your sparkle?

Mr. Conductor: I don't know, Thomas, I'll just have to sleep on that.

Thomas: [confused] On your sparkle?

Mr. Conductor: No, Thomas. On the problem of what happened to it.

Percy: Don’t worry Mr. Conductor, without your sparkle or the lost tank locomotive called Lady, you can't travel here to the railway to help us.

Mr. Conductor: I'll solve the problem. You just go to sleep now.

Percy: Easy for you to say.

Bertie: Smile, you steamers. It's a sunny day. Vroom-vroom!

James: This is not sunny, Mr. Conductor is not at the windmill, i searched almost everywhere.

Thomas: Mr. Conductor’s sparkle is not here.

Henry: My smokebox doesn't feel sunny. It feels stuffed up.

Gordon: Nasty fumes from dingy Diesel! [chuckles]

Henry: Diesel 10 is here on Sodor in search of the lost tank locomotive called Lady.

Toby: If Diesel 10 sees if Lady must be out there somewhere, i think this will destroy us.

Gordon: But what if an locomotive is as big as me?

Toby: Yes, Gordon, even you.

[Thomas sneezes]

James: Say it, don't spray it, Thomas!

Thomas: I've still got sneezing powder up inside my funnel, i just need to search for Mr. Conductor at the windmill.

Toby: Let's us get back to work. That's what he would want.

[Junior's shell phone rings]

Junior: [wakes up] That's my shell phone. [pulls off his headphones, and answers his shell phone] Hello?

Mr. Conductor: Junior? Junior, is that you?!

Junior: Oh, hi, Cous! Uh, are you in a tunnel? This isn't a very good line.

Mr. Conductor: Junior, where are you?!

Junior: Um, I'm in paradise. I just got in Cloud 9 and here I am.

Mr. Conductor: Junior, listen to me. You've got to come to the Island of Sodor right now!

Junior: Now? But I'm waiting on a perfect wave!

Mr. Conductor: Oh, no. You're not, you're coming here. [Junior sighs in annoyance] You have to help me find the source of all our family's gold dust.

Junior: What is the source?

Mr. Conductor: That's the trouble, Junior. I haven't a clue!

Junior: And I've used up most of my gold dust, too.

Mr. Conductor: [shocked] What?! [Junior sighs] Then go to Shining Time Station first. And in my signal-house in the box under the staircase, you'll find my emergency whistle with the last of my supply. Please take care of this, Junior, and... [looks around, quietly] Don't talk to anyone about the buffers.

Junior: [loses the signal] What buffers?!

Mr. Conductor: Shh!

Junior: This is a really bad line! [pressing the buttons] Hello?! [echoes] My shell phone's not working properly!

Mr. Conductor: Junior, you got to come here right away! I'm counting on you!

Junior: Hello?! [pressing more buttons which caused to hang up] I want my money back. [throws out his shell phone]

Thomas: Hello Henry, what's wrong with you?

Henry: I've got a boiler ache, Thomas.

Thomas: Don’t worry Henry, i'm collecting some six wagons full of special coal for you.

Henry: Well done Thomas, special coal will make me feel much better!

Thomas: [backs into the trucks] I wish I could make Mr. Conductor feel better, too, by finding him.

[As he pushes each truck in line, the 6th truck gets bumped too hard and goes zooming into a pair of buffers with a nearby tumbleweed and disappears into them; Thomas pulls the remaining trucks as Bertie passes by]

Bertie: [beeping his horn] Hello Thomas and your five coal wagons! Vroom-vroom!

Thomas: I have five coal wagons, i need to have six coal wagons.

Percy: [puffs into the night by Diesel 10's Mountain] I am brave. I am brave. Thomas says I'm brave, so I'm brave. Oh, it's not easy being brave. [sees Splatter and Dodge at the buffers] Shiver my pistons. There's Splatter and Dodge. Oh, they found the buffers! Oh, now what's going to happen? [a flock of birds fly by a tree] Ohh!

Tumbleweed: [rolls along] Howdy, partner. Excuse me, coming through, pardon me.

Percy: Oh, that's just nothing. [a shed door opens slowly, then closes quickly] That nothing was something!

Splatter: These are the buffers that Diesel 10 is looking at them.

Dodge: Are we supposed to go through them?

Splatter: Not we, you.

Dodge: Not me, you.

Splatter: But this is a job for the boss, we'll tell him tomorrow, okay?

Dodge: Yeah, tomorrow is good.

Percy: [backs away] Oh, I'd better hurry back and warn Thomas.

[While approaching the old magic buffers]

Thomas: I promise I'll get you home to your grandpa, Lily.

Tumbleweed: [starts leading Thomas to the buffers] Follow me, partner!

Thomas: Whoa!

Tumbleweed: Right this way to Bufferville, just a walk in the park!

Thomas: We're going though, Lily.

Tumbleweed: You're on your own here on in, little blue buckaroo! Yee-hoo! [bounces off the track]

Thomas: Railway engines can do big things. [passes through the magic buffers]

Lady: [gets her face in the Magic Railroad] So, Burnett, you didn't forget about magic. It's safe inside you.

[Later; Thomas whistles]

Lily: Thomas!

Thomas: Well done Burnett, you found Lady, she felt more like a tank locomotive.

[After Thomas comes out of the Magic Buffers while Diesel 10, Splatter, and Dodge can see him with Lady]

Diesel 10: Ah-ha, there's the blue puffball, and look who he's with, Splodge, come and destroy.

Splatter: No, you do it yourself.

Dodge: We don't like you.

Splatter: Yeah, we mean that.

Dodge: Emphatically.

Splatter: Yeah. What does that mean?

Dodge: I have no idea.

Splatter: It's a good word.

Thomas: Come on Lady, run quickly now, i'm going to help you.

Burnett: [scrambles into Lady's cab] So am I, Lady, i won’t let you down again. [pulls the lever]

Diesel 10: Ahh, who needs you, Splodge?

[The conductors finally get their supply of magic gold dust]

Thomas: Well done Lady, you're a helpful tank locomotive who finally came here to the railway, you and i are now tank locomotives.

Lady: And helping each other brings to life the magic in all of us.

Mr. Conductor: Lily, put the shavings in with the water.

Burnett: Go along, Lily. Throw it up in the air.

Junior: Please! Please!

Thomas and Lady: Now, Lily!

Patch: Come on, Mutt. Let's look around.

( Mutt barking )

Mr. Conductor: (sighs) Well, see you in Shining Time.

(whistle blows)

Stacy: Have a great time.

Mr. Conductor: [narrating] And so we've come to the happy end of our story and it's time for all of us to go home, just like Thomas.
