[On Sodor, Diesel 10 has carved his face into a mountain and is feeling pleased with himself.]
Diesel 10: Pinchy, you captured the real me. I mean, that's beautiful. I could cry.
[Two diesel shunters called Splatter and Dodge are on the tracks next to Diesel 10.]
Splatter: Er, boss?
Dodge: We're here?
Diesel 10: Alright, listen up, you two. I've got a job for you, Splodge.
Splatter: Actually, it's Splatter.
Dodge: And I'm Dodge.
Diesel 10: I ain't got time to say both names! I've come back to find a steam engine.
Splatter: 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: D-d-destroy?
Dodge: Did you say destroyed?
Splatter: "D" word?
Dodge: Like hurt?
Diesel 10: Yeah, destroyed!
Splatter: There's one small problem there.
Dodge: Yeah, Mr. Conductor's coming, and he won't let you destroy.
Splatter: Nah, he won't let ya.
Diesel 10: I can do whatever I want! I'll get him, too! With Pinchy!
[Diesel 10 lifts up and snaps Pinchy a few times. When Diesel 10 brings Pinchy down he accidently hits his face twice.]
Diesel 10: Ow! Pinchy, I hate it when you do that!
[Splatter and Dodge laugh at Diesel 10's mistake. At Shining Time Station, Billy Twofeathers and Mutt are in the waiting room, when Mr. Conductor shows up.]
Billy Twofeathers: Well hello, Mr. Conductor.
Mr. Conductor: Oh hello, Billy.
[Mr. Conductor hums as he locks the door to his signal house and cleans tone of the windows. Then he checks his pockets.]
Mr. Conductor: Tool kit? Check. Ticket puncher? Check-check. All aboard! Just testing, Billy. Mustn't let my conducting skills get rusty.
Billy Twofeathers: Important day, Mr. C?
Mr. Conductor: It is a very important day! I'm going to the Island of Sodor. It's the only place in my universe where I really fit in size-wise. Sir Topham Hatt has given me a big responsibility. Diesel 10 is back, and I have to make sure he behaves himself. Excuse me, Billy.
Billy Twofeathers: I hope your visit goes well, Mr. C.
Mr. Conductor: Thank you, Billy. I must be responsible, reliable and... Don't tell me. Really useful. I knew that.
[Mr. Conductor sparkles to the front desk to talk to Stacey Jones. Before he does, a goldfish behind him starts making noises.]
Mr. Conductor: I'm sorry. What did you say? Oh well thank you Moby Dick. I like my sparkle too. You know, Gold really is your color.
[Moby Dick's owner comes to take him away. Mr. Conductor turns to face Stacy Jones and notices Burnett Stone's painting.]
Mr. Conductor: Stacy, where did you find this painting?
