Scenes with Sam Jones 49
Thank you Sam, thank you, me and my poor Norman could've lost everything.
SSam
Well at least this little fella's safe.
[Norman takes his Snuggle Bun hot water bottle from Sam, but quickly hides it behind his back from Bella]
SSam
It was your electric blanket that caused the fire Dilys.
That's strange?, I've had it 40 years and it's never been a problem before.
SSam
You have to be careful with old ones, if you don't store them right they can be dangerous.
So where are you going to sleep now Norman?
I'm too tired to care, anywhere will do, Mam, can Woolly stay with me?
All right then, just this once.
[Scene opens at the fire station, where we see Penny doing maintenance on Jupiter while sing the song London's Burning]
London's burning, London's burning, call the engines, call the engines, Fire fire, Fire fire, pour the water.
[At that moment, Elvis comes into the picture and picks up the grease gun with curiosity]
What's this for Penny, washing the wax out of an elephants ear?
[Then, he suddenly squirts himself with grease]
It's a grease gun, hand it over Elvis, I need to grease the squeaky wheel, It's been driving Sam mad.
[Then right on cue, Sam walks in carrying two hard hats with lights on them]
SSam
No thank you Elvis [He puts the hard hats in Jupiter, but then notices Elvis' face] Elvis, just look at your face! Are you going on the war path?
[Elvis notices the grease on his face and then looks at his reflection on Jupiter's mirror]
No, I had an accident with Penny's grease gun.
SSam
Well you better go and get cleaned up. We can't let standards drop just because Station Officer Steele's away!
[Penny chuckles]
[Scene changes to Dilys' shop, where we see Dilys place sandwiches in Norman's bag]
Don't forget your sandwiches Norman, they're your favourite.
Thanks Mom, I'll bring you back some gold if I find any.
[Dilys just taps Norman's hard hat, but then the mood changes when we see Dusty sniffing around Norman's bag]
Go on! Shoo! Those turkey sandwiches are for my little explorer! Oh that Dusty can smell meat a mile off!
SSam
Station Officer Steele likes his roast dinners too. He could do with watching his waste line!
[Dilys chuckles at the thought, the scene quickly changes with Dusty hiding behind a post box, as Norman crosses the road, Dusty suddenly bites into his bag but quickly runs away]
Oi! Clear off greedy guts!
[Back in the cave, Station Officer Steele, Norman and Mandy are singing Ten Green Bottles]
SSStation Officer Steele, Norman and Mandy
And if one green bottle should accidentally fall, they'll be five green bottles hanging on the wall.
NFNurse Flood
Mandy, Norman!
Right children, I want you to make as much noise as possible.
[Mandy and Norman grab two stones each and bang them together]
NFNurse Flood
Mandy, where are you?
SSam
Don't worry, we'll soon get you free, on the count of three, pull, One, Two, Three.
[Sam and Nurse Flood pull with all their might but they couldn't get Station Officer Steele free]
I don't think that's going to work.
NFNurse Flood
We need something slippery.
SSam
Yes, and I know just the thing [Sam grabs his walkie-talkie] Penny, you know that grease gun of yours, well I've had and idea.
[Scene fades for a bit, until it changes a few minutes later where we see Penny handing Sam the grease gun]
Here it is Sam, I've filled it up like you said.
[Sam squirts Station Officer Steele with it]
SSam
Right, One, Two, Three.
[Thanks to the grease gun, Station Officer Steele was able to slip out easily]
SSam
It's all right now, everything's okay.
Clear off you bushy tailed menace!
[A squirrel scurried off when Sam turned the switch off and pulled the plug out.]
SJSam Jones
Hm. Looks like he's gnawed out our kettle flex.
Don't worry, Sam. I'll make you some nice cup of tea.
SJSam Jones
Let's fix that flex first, Elvis.
There we are Elvis, good as new.
[The fire bell suddenly sounds]
SSam
Great Fires of London, there's a fire at the Flood's House!, we'd better get going.
C'mon Elvis, no time for a brew now.
NFNurse Flood
So that's why I been snee Achoo! sneezing so much.
I'm sorry Mam, can I still keep him?, he won't be any more bother I promise.
NFNurse Flood
Absolutely not!
SSam
Your mum's right Mandy, Squirrels don't make good pets, they can bite and they really belong in the wild, he's too much of a live wire to be a pet.
[The squirrel suddenly jumps out and lands on the ground]
NFNurse Flood
Ah, ACHOO!.
SSam
There's Ursa Major, the Great Bear and look there's Ursa Minor, the Little Bear, can you see them?
No and I can't see mother bear or Goldilocks either.
SSam
Oh well, they don't look much like bears, point the telescope over there Sarah, you should be able to see Venus one of the planets.
Venus? Lemme, Lemme, Lemme!, I wanna see if there are any bug-eyed monsters!
SSam
Don't be silly Norman.
There's an alien, it's all hairy and those eyes.
Let me look,[sees Rosa asleep on the wall]Oh it's only Rosa.
[Suddenly there's a bright blue light and frightening Rosa in the process]
[Children all gasp in amazement]
SSam
Must be a shooting star.
No it wasn't Sam, it was an alien spacecraft from the planet Venus.
Oh, there it is Bella, the alien spaceship what took my precious Norman.
Is a getting closer [through binoculars, a bright light can be seen] is a coming straight for us.
Stands to reason if they are looking for intelligent life forms.
[Silhouettes of Sam and Norman then appear]
Oh, is a hideous, is a terrifying, it's a Ohh!
SSam
There you go ladies, one green life form safe and sound.
Norman my little precious. [kisses Norman]
Eugh, You taste like Pea soup, Norman, is that my cooking foil?
You got no chance, not against my prize pet.
SJSam Jones
Norman, if Station Officer Steele sees that lamb of yours.
He'll make him station mascot straight away.
[Wooly jumps out of Norman's arms and runs behind the station, dragging Norman with him, he then proceeds to eat the fire station's flowers, while Norman sits down looking all dizzy and confused]
SJSam Jones
Great Fires of London! He's gobbled all our geraniums!
[Comes outside and see what's happening] Oh! Get that sheepskin dustbin away from my station!
He only eats when he's nervous, it's the thrill of the competition.
SJSam Jones
Bet Norman feels sheepish!
[Sarah and James chuckle]
By the way, have you seen Mrs. Lasagne's cat anywhere? She thinks her Rosa will make a perfect mascot and--
MRRREEOOWEOWW!!! [Rosa scratches Steele's fingers]
YEEEEOWWW!!! [Steele covers his hurt fingers and sticks them in his mouth, muffling his speech]
SJSam Jones
Sorry, what did you say?
I said, that's another animal disqualified!
SJSam Jones
Seems Dusty's got a good chance to be mascot.
SJSam Jones
Provided he's washed and cleaned.
You mean, Dusty needs a-?
I'm honoured that you have chosen me to be the leader of Pontypandy's First Neighbourhood Watch committee.
That's strange, I don't remember choosing a leader, maybe that was the day we were abducted by aliens.
SJSam Jones
Or maybe we all bumped our heads and lost our memories.
[Clears Throat] My vision is to make Pontypandy the safest neighbourhood in Wales, we shall all make Pontypandy free from crime and look after each other.
If you ask me it's about time, sweets go missing from the shop everyday [Dilys doesn't notice a hand reaching into a biscuit jar] just last week my liquorice all sorts vanished without a trace.
[It is revealed that is was Norman who was laughing quietly behind the counter, [hinting that he was behind it] as he eats the biscuit he pinched]
My firefighters have agreed to join the Neighbourhood Watch scheme, I now call on everyone to do the same.
Great, let's start our very own Neighbourhood Watch scheme.
We'll help people in trouble.
Yes, just like the Pontypandy firefighters, let's tell Uncle Sam, come on.
We're gonna start our very own Neighbourhood Watch.
Yes indeed, I knew my speech would inspire the young people.
So you don't mind if we use the garden shed at the fire station as our headquarters.
Just hold on Dad, everything's gonna be okay.
[Jupiter's siren sounds]
Thank goodness, here comes Fireman Sam.
[Jupiter arrives and the firefighters get to work]
SJSam Jones
Don't worry Mike, we'll have you down in no time.
But Sam, what are we gonna do, the Simon Snorkel isn't working.
SJSam Jones
Let's try and see how far it will reach [Sam goes up in the Simon Snorkel, but it stops a very inches, Sam tries to reach Mike, but it's no use] I still can't quite get him.
[Mike tries to reach as well, but slips and let's a roof tile come loose]
[The tile bounces off the cafe's canopy and hits Jupiter's switch which causes it to become unstuck]
SJSam Jones
Great Fires of London, the leaver's come unstuck.
[Mike stands up and thankfully Sam catches him, Mike was saved]
[Singing inside the fire station kitchen] Sticky toffee just like the hood.
Nice song Elvis. Is it one of your own?
Hi Penny, just uh making some uh toffee apples for Bella's little Halloween do tonight, not much of a toffee fan myself of course.
No more of a keep fit kinda guy, like you.
Attention men, Elvis, Penny, where's Sam?
SJSam Jones
Here sir, ready for what's sure to be a busy night.
I just wanted to have a brief chat with you all about the procedure for Halloween. Elvis Cridlington, what in blazes are you up too?
He's making toffee apples sir, doesn't like 'em himself of course.
Yes well, procedure Halloween, a lot of children, a lot of excitement, but a lot of trouble too. Especially with young Price around.
SJSam Jones
Don't worry sir. We'll keep an eye on young vampire Price.
There's mischief in the air.
And there's toffee in me hair!
[When Jupiter gets stuck]
SJSam Jones
Jupiter just can't handle these muddy mountain roads. We'll have to go the rest of the way in Venus. Can you give me a hand with the gear?
SSam
But I sill want everyone to be careful. If there's a problem, Tom our animal expert will be on hand to help.
Yeah too right, wild animals can be dangerous. I remember once when I was swimming in the creek back home when a baby croc bit me on the a--.
SSam
Uh yes thank you Tom! I'm sure we don't want to alarm anyone.
