- Coaches: [the coaches are giving Sir Handel trouble because they don't trust him and even worse, there's sheep on the line and he has to stop]
- [angry]
- Coaches: He's bumped us! Let's pay him out!
- [shove him off the rails and he is forced to limp to the shed]
- Driver: [sighs] No more work for *you* today. What are we gonna do without an engine?
- Skarloey: What about me, sir?
- Driver: Skarloey? Can you do it?
- Skarloey: I'll try.
- [goes to the platform with the coaches waiting]
- Skarloey: [speaking angrily to the coaches] I'm ashamed of you! You might have hurt your passengers!
- Coaches: [frightened and regretting what they did] We're sorry, Skarloey.
- Driver: [One of Skarloey's springs has failed] We'll need a bus now for our passengers.
- Skarloey: No! I'll get them to the station or burst!
- [limps to the station where James is waiting]
- Skarloey: I'll do it, I'll do it... I've done it.
- [James collects the passengers and puffs off without a word]
- Skarloey: [sadly] Old engines can't pull trains like the young ones can.
- Driver: They can if they're mended, Old Faithful, and that's what's going to happen to you. You deserve it!
