kind of money

girl supremes they're scrumptious

here you go

well

i'll just have to drop in again

out of all kids

congratulations jay you made your first

nickel right that's almost five cents

but uh it was just one nickel how would

you like to make

ten nickels

how'd you like to make

50 nickels

like to make a hundred nickels wow

by forming a partnership with me

a partnership

my kids

you want to make money don't you wow

okay it's a deal it's a deal you kids

wait right here okay and i'm gonna be

back before you can slice a lemon with

our new management team

okay partners

is what

hello everyone

hi mrs

character where have you been oh i'm

running in the minkfield marathon

against a tortoise

what are you doing here is the race over

yeah oh i left the tortoise at the

starting line he's so far behind me i

don't have anything to worry about so i

thought i'd come back here and relax for

a while

say is that lemonade i could use

something cold to drink

[Music]

ah

that's better

hey i see you've gone into business for

yourselves well we were in business for

ourselves now schemers joined us he said

we'll make a lot of money hmm i don't

like the sound of that

but he's our partner hmm now let me see

that means he's one part and you're

another part

and if one part doesn't get along with

another part

then you'll have to part and if the two

parts are apart how can i tell you apart

oh this partnership business is very

confusing if things keep going like this

you'll end up like donald and douglas in

the break van who are they

you don't know the two scottish twins

donald and douglas

of course you don't know donald and

douglas because i haven't told you about

donald and douglas

or was it douglas and donald do you have

time to tell us the story

i mean

aren't you supposed to be running a race

against the tortoise don't worry about

him he probably isn't even to point

pokey yet

now where was i

oh yes

donald and douglas

donald and douglas are twins and had

arrived from scotland to help sir topham

hatt but only one engine had been

expected the twins meant well but did

cause confusion

sir topham hatt had given them numbers

donald 9 and douglas 10 but he was still

planning to send one engine home

[Music]

there was a break van in the yard that

had taken a dislike to douglas

things always went wrong when he had to

take it out

his trains were late and he was blamed

douglas began to worry

donald his twin was angry

you're a knuckle nuisance said donald is

to leave you behind i'd be wanting

you can't said the brake van i am

essential ah are you donald burst out

you're nothing but a screeching and a

noise when all said and done

spite doggy would you take that

oh oh cried the van there is more coming

should you misbehave

the van behaved better after that

until one day donald had an accident

the rails were slippery he couldn't stop

in time

donald wasn't hurt but sir topham hatt

was most annoyed

i am disappointed donald

i didn't expect such

clumsiness from you

i had decided to send douglas back and

keep you am sorry sir said donald

i should think so too you have upset my

arrangements now james will have to help

with the goods work while you have your

tender mended james won't like that

sir topham hatt was right james grumbled

dreadfully about extra work

[Music]

anyone would think said douglas that

donald had had his accident on purpose

i hear tell about an engine and some

tire wagons

shut up said james it's not funny he

didn't like to be reminded of his own

accident

well well well

surely james it wasn't you

you didn't say

james didn't say he slouched sulkily

away

james is crossed snickered the spiteful

brake van we'll try to make him crosser

still

hold back giggled the freight cars to

each other

james did his best but he was exhausted

when they reached edward station

luckily douglas was there

help me up the hill please panty james

these freight cars are playing tricks

we'll show them said douglas

slowly but surely the snorting engines

forced the freight cars up the hill

but james was losing steam i can't do it

i can't do it

leave it to me shouted douglas

the conductor was anxious go steady the

van's breaking

the van was in pieces

no one had been hurt and soon edward

came to clear the mess sir topham hatt

was on board

i might have known it would be douglas

he said

douglas was grand sir said edward james

had no steam left but douglas worked

hard enough for three i heard him from

my yard

two would have been enough

said sir topham hatt

i want to be fair douglas

but i don't know

i really don't know

sir topham hatt was making up his mind

about which engine to send away

but that's another story

so as donald and douglas learned

sometimes it's better to go about your

business and not get sidetracked by the

likes of a nasty brake van

fellow partners and soon-to-be lemonares

gather round

while i introduce to you our new

management team i'm speaking of my

nephew

little scheming

[Music]

[Music]

now first thing first we raise prices

lemonade goes up to six cents and

cookies go up to seven and a half cents

there's no such thing as seven and a

half cents okay

twist my arm we make it eight cents you

gotta love this kid you gotta love them

and hey let's put more water in the

lemonade

that but that's the last time i come to

this lemonade stand

heck are we waiting for why don't we

step outside excuse me and uh drop a

contract

lemonade for mid smooth's party we'll

hey billy did you hear what i heard that

dan and becky and cara are going to

cater midge smooth's

garden party miss moot must trust you or

she wouldn't want your lemonade you

[Music]

very interesting

interesting

maybe some um some lemonade would be

good

[Music]

uh you're probably not all that hungry

that's right we just had a big meal yeah

maybe maybe we'll have some later yeah

[Music]

not so sure what we're doing is right

yeah billy dance you were just being

nice

they think we don't know how to make

good cookies or lemonade but we do yeah

and we aren't because we got too greedy

pretty classy eh

lemonade land

bye bye bye

you are thirsty

i knew you'd love it

uh

schemie schemer there's a problem

you see

we don't like the way things are going

well where are things going we don't

want to be cheating people anymore no

we're not being fair fair hey the

lemonade business is never fair kids

it's a dog eat cookie world out there

but uh well

if that's the way you feel about it

all right i accept your resignations

what yes yes yes you're absolutely

correct if you're not happy here bang

you should quit but why not

but there are no butts there's no butts

the nickel stops here kids the nickel

stopped here

and uh well just to show you that

there's no hard feelings from me and

schemie here i want your kids to have

the last of the lemons

like we would ever use them anyway

it saddens us but uh well that is the

way the lemon squirts

[Music]

what we wanted was a lemonade stand so

we could earn some extra money and when

we told schemer and scammy to make real

lemonade and good tasting cookies

they took away our stand yeah they

tricked us sounds like you tricked

yourself

besides

the way i see it

schemer did you all a favor they took

away our stand

what kind of a favor is that well if you

had it back would you water down the

lemonade and put pepper in the cookies

no

well then

see schemer and schemie showed you the

wrong way to run a lemonade stand

the next time round

you'll do it the right way how can there

be a next time they've got everything

well not everything i still see some

lemons out there but steamer and scheme

are already making lemonade well there's

more to making things with lemons and

just lemonade

like what

well like um let's be creative you know

without being pie in the sky of course

what do you mean

pie

that's where we can make lemon pie what

a great idea why didn't i think of that

or lemon tarts and cookies yeah

this time we're gonna do it our way the

right way

the first job texting me had was inside

a radio in a bank always had to play

brother can you spare a dime

well that's why the best place to work

is a train station cause you get to play

songs like

eerie canal

let's hit it

[Music]

he's a good old worker

[Music]

low

[Music]

you'll always know your pal if you've

[Music]

now

[Music]

one more trip and back we'll go

right back home

[Music]

you'll always know your pal if you've

ever navigated on the erica now

everything but lemonade well that's

original i must say

everyone is pulling together i see

splendid

now i just have to figure out how to tie

this knot

so mr conductor who won the race the

race

oh yes the race

well it was close it was so close that

we both won

you and the tortoise both won yes his

coach who kept cheering him on said it

was a tie and speaking of ties and

pulling together i have to say the

engines on the island of sodor have

really pulled together

there i've got it

why what have they done

let me try one of your lemon pies and

i'll explain

snow came early to the island of sodor

it was heavier than usual

most engines hate snow

donald and douglas were used to it

coupled back to back with a van between

their tenders and a snowplow on their

fronts

they set to work they puffed backwards

and forwards patrolling the line

[Music]

generally the snow slipped away easily

but sometimes they found deeper drifts

presently they came to a drift which was

larger than most

they charged it

and we're just backing for another try

when

help help lost sex donald it's henry

don't worry yourself henry wait a while

we'll have you out

henry was very grateful he saw all was

not well the twins were looking glum

they told him sir topham hatt was making

a

decision he'll send us away for sure

it's a shame said percy

a lot of nonsense about a broken signal

box grumbled gordon

that spiteful brake van too put in james

good riddance that's what i say

the twins were splendid in the snow

added henry it isn't fair

they all agreed that something must be

done but none knew what

percy decided to talk to edward about it

what you need said edward is a

deputation he explained what that was

percy ran back quickly

edward says we need

a depot station

of course said gordon the question is

what is a desperation asked henry it's

when engines tell sir topham hatt

something's wrong said percy

did you say tell sir topham hatt asked

duck thoughtfully

there was a long silence

[Music]

i propose said gordon that percy be our

uh

disputation me

squeaked percy i can't

rubbish percy said henry it's easy

that's settled then said gordon

poor percy wished it wasn't

hello percy it's nice to be back

percy jumped uh yes yes sir please sir

you look nervous percy what's the matter

please sir uh they've they've made me a

desperation sir uh

to speak to you sir i don't like it sir

sir topham hatt pondered do you mean a

deputation percy yes sir please sir uh

it's donald and douglas they say sir

that if you send them away sir well

they'll be turned into scraps sir that

would be dreadful sir uh please sir

don't send them away

thank you percy that will do

later sir topham hatt spoke to the

engines

i had a

deputation i understand your feelings

and i've given a lot of thought to the

matter he paused impressively donald and

douglas i hear that your work in the

snow was good you shall have a new coat

of paint

the twins were surprised

thank you sir

but your names will be painted on you

we'll have no more mistakes thank you

sir

does this mean that the both of us sir

topham hatt smiled it means

but the rest of his speech was drowned

in a delighted chorus of cheers and

whistles

the twins were here to stay

[Applause]

[Music]

so

as you can see

some of the most surprising things can

happen when you stand up for what you

believe

and speaking of believing it's time to

be leaving

hey look what we got here scheme team

looks like we have some competition well

since you took over their last stand the

kids thought they'd start another one

yeah

all right ladies just keep going around

why you're lucky my dog is better after

eating two of your food he was sick all

afternoon

well it's hardly our fault that the

drunk got sick wasn't our fault oh just

be quiet you little twerp

we are going to keep marching until this

stand is under new management we'll stop

people from buying anything

ladies

jukebox people can't buy cheesecake and
