Daisy

Ringo Starr UK Version:
 * Ringo Starr: Percy and Toby were worried. Thomas’ recent accident had caused a great deal of trouble and the Fat Controller was waiting for them with important news.
 * The Fat Controller: Here.
 * Ringo Starr: He said.
 * The Fat Controller: Is Daisy, the Diesel Rail-car who has come to help while Thomas is – er – indisposed.
 * Percy: Please, Sir.
 * Ringo Starr: Asked Percy.
 * Percy: Will she go, Sir, when Thomas comes back, Sir?
 * 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.
 * Percy and Toby: Yes, Sir, we’ll try, Sir.
 * Ringo Starr: Said the engines.
 * The Fat Controller: Good. Run along now, and show her the Shed. She will want to rest after her journey.
 * Ringo Starr: Daisy was hard to please. 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: The “rubbish” turned out to be Annie, Clarabel and Henrietta, who were most offended.
 * Annie, Clarabel and Henrietta: We won’t stay here to be insulted.
 * Ringo Starr: They fumed. Percy and Toby had to take them away, and spend half the night soothing their hurt feelings. The engines woke next morning feeling exhausted. Daisy, on the other hand, felt bright and cheerful.
 * Daisy: Ooo! Ooo!
 * Ringo Starr: She tooted as she came out of the Yard, and backed 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 a milk van was about to be coupled to her, and was most indignant.
 * Daisy: Do they expect me to pull that?
 * Daisy’s Driver: Surely.
 * Ringo Starr: Said her Driver.
 * Daisy’s 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.
 * Daisy’s 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.
 * Railway Staff: What is?
 * Daisy: My Fitter’s a very nice man. He comes every week, and examines 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 it.
 * 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 could now enjoy 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.

George Carlin US Version:
 * George Carlin: Percy and Toby were worried. Thomas’ recent accident had caused a great deal of trouble and Sir Topham Hatt was waiting for them with important news.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Here is Daisy, the Diesel Rail-car who has come to help while Thomas is indisposed.
 * Percy: Please, Sir, will she go when Thomas comes back, Sir?
 * Sir Topham Hatt: That depends.
 * George Carlin: Said Sir Topham Hatt.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Meanwhile, however long she stays, I hope you will both make her welcome and comfortable.
 * Percy and Toby: Yes, Sir, we’ll try, Sir.
 * George Carlin: Said the engines.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Good. Run along now, and show her the Shed. She will want to rest after her journey.
 * George Carlin: Daisy was not easy to please. She shuddered at the Engine Shed.
 * Daisy: This is dreadfully smelly. I’m highly sprung, and anything smelly is bad for my swerves.
 * George Carlin: Next they tried the Carriage Shed.
