Transcript

 * George Carlin: Toby and Henrietta were enjoying their new job on the Island of Sodor, but they do look old fashioned and did need new paint. James was very rude whenever he saw them.
 * James: Yech! What dirty objects!
 * George Carlin: He would say. At last, Toby lost patience.
 * Toby: James?
 * George Carlin: He asked.
 * Toby: Why are you red?
 * James: I am a splendid engine.
 * George Carlin: Answered James.
 * James: Ready for anything. You never see my paint dirty.
 * Toby: Oh.
 * George Carlin: Said Toby earnestly.
 * Toby: That's why you once needed bootlaces to be ready I suppose.
 * George Carlin: James went redder than ever and snorted off. It was such an insult to be remind how the time the bootlace have been use to mend a hole in his coaches. At the end of the line, James left his coaches and got out to his next train. It was a slow freight, stopping at every station to pick up and set down cars. James hated slow freight trains.
 * James: Dirty cars from dirty sidings! Yech!
 * George Carlin: Starting an only a few, he picked up more and more cars at each station till he had a long train. At first, the freight cars behaved well, but James bumped them so crossly that they were determined to get back at him. Presently, they approached the top of Gordon's Hill. Heavy freight trains halt here to set the brakes. James had had an accident with cars before and should have remembered this.
 * Driver: Wait, James, wait!
 * George Carlin: Said the driver, but James wouldn't wait. He was too busy thinking what he would say to Toby when they next met. The freight cars' chance had come.
 * Cars: Hurrah! Hurrah!
 * George Carlin: They laughed, and banging their buffers they pushed him down the hill.
 * Cars: On, on!
 * George Carlin: Yelled the cars.
 * James: I've got to stop, I've got to stop!
 * George Carlin: Groaned James. Disaster lay ahead.
 * (James crashes into the tar wagons)
 * George Carlin: Something sticky splashed all over James. He had run into two tar wagons, and was black from smokebox to cab. He was more dirty than hurt, but the tar wagons and some cars were all to pieces. Toby and Percy were sent to help and came as quickly as they could.
 * Toby: Look here, Percy!
 * George Carlin: Explained Toby.
 * Toby: Whatever is that dirty object?
 * Percy: That's James, didn't you know?
 * Toby: It's James' shape.
 * George Carlin: Said Toby.
 * Toby: But James is a splendid red engine and you'll never see his paint dirty.
 * George Carlin: James pretended he hadn't heard. Toby and Percy cleared away the unhurt cars and help James home. Sir Topham Hatt met them.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Well done, Percy and Toby.
 * George Carlin: He turned to James.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Fancy letting your cars run away. I am surprised. You're not fit to be seen. You must be cleaned at once. Toby shall have a new coat of paint.
 * Toby: Please sir, can Henrietta have one too?
 * George Carlin: Said Toby.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Certainly, Toby.
 * Toby: Oh thank you, sir. She will pleased.
 * George Carlin: All James could do as watch Toby as he ran off happily with the news.
