Goodbye Fat Controller/Goodbye Sir Topham Hatt

*Thomas: END
 * Narrator:
 * Sir Topham Hatt:
 * Painter 1: Sir Topham Hatt won't still be here, will he?
 * Painter 2: No, no. He won't be here. I'll find out when he's going.
 * Painter 3: Well, the sooner he's gone, the better. So we can get started.
 * (Percy gasps when he hear this. The painters overhears Percy and looks at looks at him. After the mail cars are loaded with some mailbags, the conductor blows his whistle and Percy toots his whistle and puffs away. The scene fades to Percy arrives at the Sodor Dairy and sees Thomas is there)
 * Narrator: As soon as Percy saw Thomas, he told him what he had heard.
 * Percy: That's what they said, Thomas. "The sooner he's gone, the better." Sir Topham Hatt won't be here. He must be leaving the Island of Sodor!
 * Thomas: But where is he going? And who will manage the railway if he's gone?
 * (Scene fades to Thomas and Percy are at Tidmouth Sheds with the other engines that evening and they are worried about that Sir Topham Hatt will leave Sodor)
 * Narrator: By that evening, all the engines were talking about it.
 * Edward: Well, I, for one, will miss him when he goes.
 * Gordon: So will I, even though he does get very cross sometimes.
 * Percy: (laughs a little) Especially with Thomas!
 * Thomas: (rudely) Not just with me!
 * Emily: He usually has a good reason to get cross. One way or another, we're always causing confusion and delay.
 * Percy: Oh. Maybe that's why he's leaving. Because of us!
 * (For 5 seconds, the Steam Team looks down at their buffers in silence)
 * Thomas: But we can't just let him leave! We have to convince him to stay!
 * All: (feeling pleased) Yes!
 * James: Good idea!
 * (Scene fades to Sir Topham Hatt is walking on the platform at the Knapford Station when Percy arrives)
 * 'Narrator: So the next morning, the engines set out, determined to make Sir Topham Hatt want to stay.
 * (Percy toots, and startles Sir Topham Hatt)
 * Percy: Good morning, sir. I've delivered all the mail extra early today.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: (yawns) Oh. Well don, Percy.

 * Emily: (infuriated) Oops! Careful, Diesel!
 * Diesel: (snaps) Why don't you be more careful?! You nearly- (gasps in shocked when he sees Sir Topham Hatt is on the platform, his shock turns to nervous smile) Uh, sorry Emily. (to Sir Topham Hatt) Sorry, sir. I'm trying very hard not to be confusing, or delayed.
 * (Diesel rattles away just as Henry arrives, toots his whistle)
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Do you know what's going on today, Henry? All the engines are behaving in a most peculiar fashion.
 * Henry: They're just showing you how happy they are that you're running the railway, sir.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: (smiles) Oh. (chuckles) Well, I'm happy too, Henry. I do love this railway.
 * (Henry smiles at Sir Topham Hatt as the scene fades to him at Tidmouth Sheds, talking to Gordon, James, Edward, Thomas, Percy and Emily

 * Thomas: Sodor needs the Fat Controller!
 * All: No! No! He can't go! No! No! He can't go!
 * Percy: Sir Topham Hatt is our friend!
 * All: No! No! He can't go! No! No! He can't go!
 * Emily: (gasps) There he is!
 * All: Hooray!
 * Sir Topham Hatt: What on earth is going on? Quiet! Be quiet, all of you! Now, could someone please explain the meaning of this outrage?!
 * Thomas: This strike was my idea, sir!
 * James: Without you, the railway just wouldn't be the same.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: But... But...
 * Percy: We don't want you to leave Sodor, sir!
 * Sir Topham Hatt: (sternly) But I'm not leaving Sodor! I'm not going anywhere!
 * Thomas: But Percy saw the men clearing your office.
 * Percy: They were taking everything away!
 * James: Even your telephone!
 * Sir Topham Hatt: That's because my office is being redecorated.
 * Percy: Redecorated?
 * Sir Topham Hatt: That's right. I'll have to work in a temporary office until they finish repainting and decorating.
 * All: (Chatters)
 * Percy: Sorry. But I thought...
 * Sir Topham Hatt: I know what you thought, Percy, but you got it all wrong. (Laughs)
