Numberjacks & Murdoch/Transcript

The Fat Controller: This is Murdoch. He's going to be pulling freight on the Main Line.

Salty: Ahoy, Murdoch!

Michael Angelis: Shouted Salty.

Harvey: Welcome, Murdoch!

Michael Angelis: Called Harvey.

Murdoch: You're a chatty lot.

Michael Angelis: Murdoch said quietly. Soon, Murdoch was coupled to a long, long line of heavy trucks. His boiler strained, his wheels started to turn and the mighty engine chuffed away. Murdoch longed for some peace and quiet. But everywhere he went, it was noisy and crowded. At the end of the day, Murdoch was looking forward to a good night's rest.

Harvey: What's the longest train you've ever pulled?

Salty: Have you worked Marseille?

Harvey: Have you ever crashed?

Murdoch: Please!

Michael Angelis: Murdoch chuffed.

Murdoch: I want some peace and quiet and I don't want to share a shed with chatterboxes.

Harvey: No need to be rude.

Michael Angelis: Huffed Harvey.

Salty: We're only being friendly matey.

Michael Angelis: The next morning, Murdoch collected another long heavy train. This time, he chuffed into the beautiful countryside. It was splendid. At last he had some peace and quiet. Suddenly, his driver applied the brakes. There were sheep on the tracks.

Driver: The sheep escaped from that field.

Michael Angelis: Said the driver.

Driver: Through that broken fence.

Michael Angelis: They tried to chase the sheep back. First this way and then that way. They tried everything, but nothing worked.

Fireman: We'll never move these sheep by ourselves.

Michael Angelis: Complained the fireman.

Driver: I'll go and phone for help.

Michael Angelis: Sighed the driver. Murdoch was very unhappy. The noisy sheep were spoiling his peace and quiet.
