05x22 - Make Someone Happy

Post by bunniefuu »

(happy music)

(playful music)

- [Narrator] It was holiday

time on the island of Sodor.

(train whistling)

All the engines were

working happily.

(zippy music)

except for James.

- Why should a

splendid engine like me

take messy coal cars

instead of coaches?

Percy or Oliver should do it!

I'm too important!

- [Narrator] Thomas was cross.

- James, why don't you

think about something

or someone else for a change?

You'll be surprised

at how much better

you'll feel if you do.

- Oh, please!

Being important

is the only thing

for me to think about!

Ha!

(train whistling)

(train chugging)

(plane engine buzzing)

- [Narrator] "That plane's

making a great deal of noise,"

said Percy to Oliver.

"His name's Tigamoth,"

replied Oliver.

- "And it's flying

around telling everyone"

"about the fair that's

arriving today."

(brakes screeching)

- What are you two doing here?

- Sir Topham Hatt

wants us to pick up

a very special load

from the harbor.

- And I think it's got

something to do with the fair.

(train whistling)

- [Narrator] Then

they puffed away.

(train chugging)

Meanwhile, James was collecting

quarry cars from the yards.

"Dustier and

dustier," he grumbled.

Then he saw Mrs. Kindly.

- She looks miserable.

- [Narrator] "What the

matter?" asked James's driver.

- My sister has rung to tell me

she can't come to stay with me.

I was so looking

forward to her visit.

- [Narrator] Sir Topham Hatt

soon heard the sad news.

- We must cheer her up.

Send Harold the helicopter

to pick her up immediately.

(triumphant music)

- [Narrator] A

few minutes later,

there was a surprise

for Mrs. Kindly.

"All present and

correct," called Harold.

- I'm here on a flying visit.

Hurry aboard Mrs. Kindly,

and fly the sky with me.

Compliments of Sir Topham Hatt.

- Oh how lovely!

- [Narrator] "Harold's made

my paint dustier than ever,"

muttered James.

But he was happy

for Mrs. Kindly.

She was soon flying

high with Harold.

- I've never seen the

island like this before.

It's wonderful.

(ebullient music)

(train chugging)

- [Narrator] Meanwhile, Percy

and Oliver were at the docks,

Cranky the crane was unloading

an old tramp steamer.

- Hey down there, you two.

I'm playing lucky dip

in the tramper's hold

and all these are for you.

(seagulls cawing)

(upbeat music)

- [Narrator] "Wooden

Horses!" Percy exclaimed.

"For the carousel ride!"

- It's going to be a

very exciting fair.

- [Narrator] "It is

indeed," whistled James.

- Sir Topham Hatt has ordered me

to stop pulling coal cars

and go to the station instead.

Something to do

with Mrs. Kindly.

Goodbye.

(train chugging)

- [Narrator] "Well what do you

think of that?" cried Percy.

Mrs. Kindly was waiting for

James with Sir Topham Hatt.

- Now this is your

very special treat.

James will take you

on a mystery ride

then I shall meet you

at your destination.

(train whistling)

(train chugging)

- [Narrator] James

took Mrs. Kindly

along her favorite coastal

route to Tidmouth Bay.

(ebullient music)

When he arrived there,

a big surprise

awaited Mrs. Kindly.

(trilling music)

"Oh!" She cried.

- You've brought me to the

fairground, how lovely!

- [Narrator] Best of all,

Sir Topham Hatt invited her

to make the announcement.

- I declare this

fairground open!

(drums rolling)

(twinkling)

- [Narrator] Mrs. Kindly had

the first ride on the carousel.

(jaunty big band music)

"You were quite right

Thomas," James whispered.

- Making someone happy

does cheer you up.

- [Narrator] Then together they

watched the fun of the fair.

(jaunty big band music)

(bell dings)

(playful music)
