The Journey Begins/Transcript/Sometimes You Make a Friend

(The Steam Team engines are shown at Tidmouth Sheds. Thomas speaks up to the others)

Thomas: (Sighs) I feel really bad for leaving Holler to go to L.A. without me. And now, Roadster is gonna get Ashima to be on his side.

(The others don't believe everything)

James: No he won't, Thomas. You can get there as well.

Thomas: But how? It's such a long way from Sodor to California. (Sighs)

Percy: You just don't want Roadster to get Ashima.

Thomas: No. I don't want him to go anywhere near my Indian love.

(Thomas just looks down looking sad. The others start to feel very sorry for Thomas)

Rebecca: You really miss Holler. Don't you, Thomas?

Thomas: Yes, Rebecca. I do.

(Thomas is in the yard the next morning looking sad. He starts to cry as he sings)

Thomas: (Singing) Sometimes you make a friend. The kind of friend who stays. (An Imaginary Holler's Hauler opens up) Sometimes you make a friend. (The imaginary Holler dissappears) And you're the one who goes away. Sometimes.... You're the one.... Who acts a bit unkind. You didn't think.... (A flashback shows Thomas puffing out of Holler disappointed) ....and you did something... (The flashback rewinds and Thomas grins as he goes back into Holler) You can't forget and can't rewind. (The scene fades back to Thomas still looking sad) I'm sorry, so sorry. And I don't know what to do.... With you so far away. (An Imaginary Holler appears in the sky) I'm sorry, so sorry. And as soon as I see you.... That's exactly what I'm going to say! I'm sooooooryyyyy! I hope you're still my friend! I'm sooooooryyyy, so sooooooryyyy, my friend.

(Thomas is seen still looking sad on his Branch Line with Annie and Clarabel)

Thomas: (Singing) Sometimes you make a friend. The kind of friend you need. (An Imaginary Holler is driving on the road) You try to make them happy, but.... You don't always succeed. (An Imaginary Holler dissappears) Sometimes.... You're the one.... Who does something that's not okay. (He puffs past Ashima) Sometimes you hurt a friend.... and you don't know what to do or saaaaaay. I'm sorry, so sorry.

(Thomas uncouples from Annie and Clarabel at Knapford Station. He puffs into a siding facing backwards)

Thomas: Ohhh.

Dory: What's the matter, Thomas? Why are you looking so sad?

Marlin: Is something wrong?

Thomas: Unfortunately, yes there is. Holler was taken away from me, and it's all my fault.

Ashima: Thomas! Thomas! (Toot toot) I've finally got a way for you to get to L.A.

(Mario hops off Ashima)

(Mario throws Cappy like a Frisbee and he comes back)

(Thomas lightens up and gives Ashima a kiss. She then returns it)

Thomas: Oh. Thank you so much, Ashima. And thank you too, Mario.

(A electric pulse appears beside Thomas. Mario hops on to Thomas and together they both transform)

Ashima: Good luck finding Holler, Thomas.

Thomas: Okay. You're welcome, Ashimaaaaaaaaaaa!

(Both Mario and Thomas both electricute off into the distance)

Dory: Psst. Ashima.

Ashima: What is it, Dory?

Dory: Haven't you heard about the news about becoming Thomas's pit crew?

Ashima: No. I haven't.

Marlin: Well, tell the others then.

Ashima: Guys?!

(The others puff over to the platforms at Knapford Station. Ashima puffs over to them and tells the news)

(Meanwhile)

(Thomas is seen puffing into the Antarctic. He starts to sing)

Thomas: (Singing) So, I'll hold onto hope. I'll hold on tight.... for a chance to make things right. I'm looking for you. I'll come through.... If it takes me all my life! (He puffs into Radiator Springs. Red is seen watering the flowers at the Courthouse) I'm sorry, so sorry. And I don't know what to do.... With you so far away. I'm sorry, so sorry. And as soon as I see you.... That's exactly what I'm going to say! (He puffs past Van and Minny) I'm sooooooryyyyy! I hope you're still my friend! I'm sooooooryyyy, so sooooooryyyy, my friend.
