Numberjacks & Daisy (2)/Transcript

Tom Clements: Thomas, his friends and all the Numberjacks were worried. Numberjack Nine were doing a spinning high wire and land into the party cake and she cause a lot of trouble.

The Fat Controller: That depends.

Ringo Starr: Said the Fat Controller.  The Fat Controller: Meanwhile, however long she stays, I hope you will both make her welcome and comfortable.

The Fat Controller: Good. Run along now and show her the shed. She will want a rest after her journey.

Ringo Starr: Daisy was hard to pleased. She shuddered at the engine shed.

Daisy: This is dreadfully smelly. I'm highly sprung, and anything smelly is bad for my swerves.

Ringo Starr: Next, they tried the carriage shed.

Daisy: This is better.

Ringo Starr: Said Daisy.

Daisy: But whatever is that rubbish?

Ringo Starr: Daisy, on the other hand, felt bright and cheerful.

Daisy: Oooh! Oooh!

Ringo Starr: She tooted, as she came out of the yard and back to the station.

Daisy: Look at me.

Ringo Starr: She purred to the passengers.

Daisy: I'm the latest diesel, highly sprung and right up to date. You won't want Thomas' bumpy old Annie and Clarabel now.

Ringo Starr: The passengers waited for Daisy to start, but she didn't. She saw that the milk van was about to be coupled to her and was most indignant.

Daisy: Do they except me to pull that?

Driver: Surely.

Ringo Starr: Said her driver.

Driver: You can pull one van.

Daisy: I won't.

Ringo Starr: Said Daisy.

Daisy: Percy can do it. He loves messing about with trucks.

Ringo Starr: She began to shudder violently.

Driver: Nonsense.

Ringo Starr: Said her driver.

Daisy's Driver: Come on now, back down.

Ringo Starr: Daisy lurched backwards. She was so cross that she blew a fuse.

Daisy: Told you.

Ringo Starr: She said and stopped. Everyone argued with her but it was no use.

Daisy: It's fitter's orders.

Ringo Starr: She said.

Passengers: What is?

Daisy: My fitter's a very nice man. He comes every week and exams me carefully. "Daisy," he says, "Never, never pull. You're highly sprung and pulling is bad for your swerves." So that's how it is.#

Ringo Starr: Finished Daisy.

Stationmaster: Stuff and nonsense.

Ringo Starr: Said the stationmaster.

Shunter: I can't understand.

Ringo Starr: Said the shunter.

Shunter: Whatever made the Fat Controller send us such a feeble...

Daisy: Feeble? Feeble?!

Ringo Starr: Spluttered Daisy.

Daisy: Let me...

Passengers: Stop arguing!

Ringo Starr: Grumbled the passengers.

Passengers: We're late already.

Ringo Starr: So they uncoupled the van, and Daisy purred away feeling very pleased with herself. She can now enjoyed her journey.

Daisy: That's a good story.

Ringo Starr: She chuckled.

Daisy: I'll do just what work I choose, and no more.

Ringo Starr: But she said it to herself.
