Thomas and friends: The Adventure Begins (Rewrite)

Chapter 6: Thomas meets Jerome and Judy

[The scene changes to the next day when Thomas's in the yard and Eagle was ready to help him]

The next day....

TROUBLESOME TRUCKS: Ow! Oh!

...he was back in the yard again.

THOMAS: It's not fair! All the engines pull trains except me! I never go anywhere.

EAGLE: Of course you do, Thomas. Besides, it wasn't your fault you were dragged across the mainline. 

[Then they saw some strange-looking trucks]

THOMAS'S DRIVER: Hey. Where are those trucks meant to go?

THOMAS: I don't know, Driver. Let's have a look.

[He shunt a van out of the way]

THOMAS: Wake up, lazy-wheels!

JEROME: (woken up) Judy!

JUDY: (also woken up) Jerome?

BOTH: Emergency!

JEROME: Where's the accident?

JUDY: Is an engine off the rails?

JEROME: Or is it a break down?

JUDY: A fire?

JUDY: A bridge out?

THOMAS: No, no, no. We, um... Well... we just wondering where you were going, that's all.

CLARABEL: Thomas. EAGLE. Over here.

THOMAS: Sorry to disturb you.

JUDY: Disturb us?

JEROME: False alarm.

JUDY: Emergencies never disturb us, did that, Jerome?

JEROME: Oh, you don't want to go wasting time.

JUDY: Just in case we're needed.

[Eagle and Thomas go to the side of the yard to meet Annie and Clarabel]

CLARABEL: You mustn't touch those trucks.

ANNIE: That's the breakdown train.

THOMAS: Whoa.

EAGLE: And their names are Judy and Jerome.

THOMAS: But are they in the yard if they're not meant to be shunted? Don't they ever go anywhere?

CLARABEL: Only in emergencies.

ANNIE: Like when a poor helpless coach needs lifting back onto the rails.

Jerome: (yawns)

JUDY: (snores)

THOMAS: Okay. We won't bother them again.

[Then James puffs in]

JAMES: Ta-da! You can take my trucks away now, Thomas. I'm ready for my coaches.

ANNIE AND CLARABEL: Oh.

ANNIE: You're such a show-off, James.

JAMES: Maybe I am, but you just wait and see if the Fat Controller doesn't give me my own branch line soon.

THOMAS: (smelling smoke) Hmm, there's that burning smell again.

EAGLE: You're sure it's not coming from you, James?

JAMES: Huh? (blows smoke away)
