Dirty Objects/James in a Mess

Ringo Starr UK Version:

 * Ringo Starr: Toby and Henrietta are enjoying their new job on the Island of Sodor. But they do look old-fashioned and need new paint. James was very rude whenever he saw them.
 * James: Ugh! What dirty objects!
 * Ringo Starr: He would say. At last Toby lost patience.
 * Toby: James.
 * Ringo Starr: He asked.
 * Toby: Why are you red?
 * James: I am a splendid engine.
 * Ringo Starr: Answered James.
 * James: Ready for anything. You never see my paint dirty.
 * Toby: Oh!
 * Ringo Starr: Said Toby innocently.
 * Toby: That’s why you once needed bootlaces; to be ready, I suppose.
 * Ringo Starr: James went redder than ever, and snorted off. It was such an insult to reminded of the time a bootlace had been used to mend a hole in his coaches. At the end of line James left his coaches and got ready for his next train. It was a “slow goods”, stopping at every station to pick up and set down trucks. James hated slow goods trains.
 * James: Dirty trucks from dirty sidings! Ugh!
 * Ringo Starr: Starting with only a few, he picked up more and more trucks at each station, till he had a long train. At first the trucks behaved well, but James bumped them so crossly that they were determined to pay him back. Presently they approached the top of Gordon’s Hill. Heavy goods trains halt here to “pin down” their brakes. James had had an accident with trucks before, and should have remembered this.
 * James’ Driver: Wait, James, wait.
 * Ringo Starr: Said the Driver, but James wouldn’t wait. He was too busy thinking what he would say to Toby when they next met. The trucks’ chance had come.
 * Trucks: Hurrah! Hurrah!
 * Ringo Starr: They laughed, and banging their buffers they pushed him down the hill.
 * Trucks: On! On! On!
 * Ringo Starr: Yelled the trucks.
 * James: I’ve got to stop, I’ve got to stop.
 * Ringo Starr: Groaned James. Through the station they thundered, disaster lay ahead. Something sticky splashed all over James. He had run into two tar wagons, and was black from smokebox to cab. He was more dirty than hurt, but the tar wagons and some trucks were all to pieces. Toby and Percy were sent to help, and came as quickly as they could.
 * Toby: Look here, Percy!
 * Ringo Starr: Exclaimed Toby.
 * Toby: Whatever is that dirty object?
 * Percy: That’s James; didn’t you know?
 * Toby: It’s James’ shape.
 * Ringo Starr: Said Toby.
 * Toby: But James is a splendid red engine, and you never see his paint dirty.
 * Ringo Starr: James pretended he hadn’t heard. Toby and Percy cleared away the unhurt trucks, and helped James home. The Fat Controller met them.
 * The Fat Controller: Well done, Percy and Toby.
 * Ringo Starr: He turned to James.
 * The Fat Controller: Fancy letting your trucks run away. I am surprised. You’re not fit to be seen; you must be cleaned at once. Toby shall have a new coat of paint.
 * Toby: Please, Sir, can Henrietta have one too?
 * Ringo Starr: Said Toby.
 * The Fat Controller: Certainly Toby.
 * Toby: Oh thank you, Sir! She will be pleased.
 * Ringo Starr: All James could do was watch Toby as he ran off happily with the news.

 * James: Dirty cars from dirty sidings! Ugh!
 * Ringo Starr: Starting with only a few, he picked up more and more cars at each station, till he had a long train. At first the freight cars behaved well, but James bumped them so crossly that they were determined to pay him back. Presently they approached the top of Gordon’s Hill.
