UK (Michael Angelis version)[]
- Michael Angelis: Duck and the Scottish Twins Donald and Douglas were looking at the early morning sky.
- Donald: Everyone's so much happier when springtime comes.
- Michael Angelis: Said Donald happily.
- Duck: Everyone except Sir Topham Hatt.
- Michael Angelis: Grumbled Duck.
- Duck: He seems to be working us harder than ever.
- Douglas: Aye.
- Michael Angelis: Replied Douglas.
- Douglas: He just wants everything to be ready for the holidays. Anyway, salty air makes me all cheerful in my smokebox.
- Duck: Yeah.
- Michael Angelis: Chuffed Duck.
- Duck: It's the countryside that really gets me fired up, it's the only place to be!
- Michael Angelis: And he puffed away to collect his trucks from the harbour. Donald and Douglas had to take some empty trucks to the scrap yards. In a siding, the twin had shunted trucks when they saw an old coach. She looked very sad.
- Douglas: Oh hello. What are you doing here?
- Michael Angelis: Asked Douglas.
- Old Slow Coach: They call me Old Slow Coach, and they told me I wasn't useful anymore. Now only the mice ride in me.
- Michael Angelis: Replied the coach.
- Donald: Aye, you may be dusty, but you look in perfect shape.
- Michael Angelis: Said Donald. Then, the Yard manager appeared.
- Yard Manager: Come along, I have freight cars for you to take away.
- Douglas' Driver: Excuse me.
- Michael Angelis: Said Douglas' Driver.
- Douglas' Driver: Can you tell us about this coach?
- Yard Manager: Old Slow Coach, she's been here for years. She'll be broken up when we find the time.
- Michael Angelis: The yard manager replied. The engines were dismayed.
- Donald: We'll try and help you.
- Michael Angelis: Said Donald. But he and Douglas didn't know how. Meanwhile, Duck was enjoying himself and his brake van Lola.
- Duck: This is the life!
- Michael Angelis: He chortled
- Lola: And this is so wonderful too!
- Michael Angelis: Chirped Lola, but they were heading for trouble. One of the fuel trucks was leaking, then suddenly, it caught fire.
- Duck: (coughing) Horrors!
- Michael Angelis: Coughed Duck. They reached a siding, and his driver gave the alarm.
- Duck's Driver: It's fuel, and it's dangerous.
- Michael Angelis: He shouted. As Donald and Douglas approached the junction, they saw the smoke, a guard waving a red flag and the two engines and the fire lorry.
- Douglas: Duck, what happened? Are you alright?
- Michael Angelis: Douglas asked.
- Duck: Yes, I'm fine.
- Michael Angelis: Replied Duck.
- Guard: Sparks from Duck's funnel have set the trucks a blaze.
- Michael Angelis: He called.
- Guard: The fire is under control, but it's quite a mess.
- Michael Angelis: The fire engines looked up.
- Belle: Hello. I'm Belle.
- Flynn: I'm Flynn.
- Sam: And I'm Sam, the Leader of the crew.
- Donald: It's so pleased to meet you all. I'm Donald and he's Douglas.
- Michael Angelis: But Douglas was too busy to say hi.
- Douglas: You said the countryside got you all 'fired up', Duck.
- Michael Angelis: He said.
- Douglas: But I didn't think you meant it in this way.
- Duck: Pah!
- Michael Angelis: Snorted Duck.
- Duck: It was the stupid trucks' fault, not ours.
- Sam: Alright you two.
- Michael Angelis: Called Sam.
- Sam: Enough with the chat. It's safe to proceed now.
- Michael Angelis: The twins had puffed slowly by, but now they felt sorry for Duck. It wasn't long before they reached the station. Later, as they were having a long drink at the water towers, they suddenly heard a commotion.
- Donald: Losh sakes! What's the matter?
- Michael Angelis: Donald gasped.
- Donald's Driver: It's another fire at the workman's hut.
- Michael Angelis: Replied Donald's Driver.
- Donald's Driver: We better see what we can do.
- Michael Angelis: The twins raced into the scene only to see that the hut was on fire. The fire engines arrived, but they had a big problem.
- Belle: We are completely out of water!
- Michael Angelis: Cried Belle.
- Flynn: We can't use sea water cause' it clogs our works!
- Michael Angelis: Yelled Flynn.
- Sam: I'm afraid we'll just have to let that building burn.
- Michael Angelis: Said Sam. Then Donald had an idea.
- Donald: Why don't you use the water in our tanks? We've just refilled them.
- Michael Angelis: Sam thought it was a brilliant idea. The firemen wasted no time.
- Drivers: You're very clever engines.
- Michael Angelis: Chuckled their drivers. Soon, the fire was out, but the hut where the workmen lived was destroyed.
- Foreman: We'll have something to house the men if they can't sleep on the beach.
- Michael Angelis: Said the Foreman.
- Douglas: What about Old Slow Coach? She would be perfect for the workmen.
- Michael Angelis: Said Douglas.
- Donald: And comfy too.
- Michael Angelis: Added Donald.
- Douglas' Driver: What a good idea Douglas.
- Robin Williams: Said his driver. They phoned Lord Harwick, the Little Western Controller, who agreed.
- Lord Harwick: She'll be spic and span by the time you collect her.
- Michael Angelis: And she was, and very happy, too.
- Old Slow Coach: I can't thank you enough.
- Michael Angelis: She said.
- Old Slow Coach: I feel splendid.
- Michael Angelis: The twins buffered up at each end of Old Slow Coach, and she set off happily for her new home. Everyone agreed there was nothing old or slow about coach, and she will always be really useful indeed.
