Lines by Billy 2

Billy

You know, Becky, Midge has a great heart, but sometimes I wish she'd zip her lip.

[unbeknownst to him, the wishing star passes him]

Billy

[having seen all the disaster the star has caused] This is just one of those days I wish I'd stayed in bed.

[the star passes him; in an instant, he is in bed]

Scenes with Billy 7

How's my little pooch, huh?

[the dog barks at him]

[intimidated] Sheesh! Now, is that any way for him to treat his master?!

Billy

Respect works both ways.

All right. I'll show him some respect. [holds out a nickel] Here's a nickel!

[the dog barks at him again]

Now, why did he do that?!

Billy

I don't know. Maybe because you tied him up and you didn't take him for a walk. You didn't feed him. You didn't clean up after him.

Anything else?

Billy

You didn't play with him!

[looks at the new uniforms] Oh, boy, look at that.

Billy

TST. I like the sound of that.

Yeah. [looks at the back] "The Schemer Team"?

Well, Schemer did pay for the uniforms. [Mr. Conductor appears on his baseball bat]

Maybe they'll look better when they're on.

[Matt moves his bat, causing Mr. Conductor to fall on a mitt]

Mr. Conductor, are you okay?

Sorry, Mr. Conductor. I didn't see you there.

[gets back on his feet] Oh, that's all right, Matt. Yes, Kara. I'm as right as rain. I landed as a soft pop fly, you might say.

Schemer, you stole all our money!

What are you talkin' about? What money?

The one for Stacy's party, and you ate all our fudge.

Hey, I did not steal any money, and I did not eat any...

[Becky shows him the empty fudge box]

Frankly, I had a couple pieces. But eating the food gave me a good idea. See? Fruit cakes, made by my mommy, five cents apiece. [laughs]

Billy

Schemer, did you make Becky spend all her money?

No, I didn't.

DKDan and Kara

Did too!

Did not!

DKDan and Kara

Did too!

Did not!

DKDan and Kara

Did too!

DID NOT!

Actually, he didn't.

See? I didn't. [to Becky] I didn't?

I guess I could've said no. But I just got carried away.

She could've said no, but she got carried away.

Billy

Did you know the fudge was for Stacy's party?

[exasperatedly] Stacy's party. Stacy's party! Who cares about Stacy's party? Some stupid party I wasn't invited to, anyway.

Billy

Oh, you do care, and you are invited.

I am?

DKDan, Kara, and Becky

He is?

Billy

Of course he is! [takes Schemer's fruit cake stand] But it wouldn't be much of a party without fruit cakes.

Well, I'm here to work. What's our first step?

Billy

Uh, your first step, Mr. Conductor, is to watch your step. That shelf hasn't been... [the shelf comes off, and Mr. Conductor slides down] ...nailed in.

Mr. Conductor, are you all right?

Alright?! I appear for work and fall off a shelf? I've had better jobs, I'll tell ya.

Ginny, please, just try to calm down and tell us what happened.

Well, you know my dog.

Yes. The one you renamed Mr. Filthy?

Well, this time, he's really gone and done it. I took the turkey outta the oven, and he's lookin' at it like a pointer. And I thought: "That's kinda cute", when all of a sudden, he lunged, attacked, ran out the back door with it and tore it to shreds! [frets] And now, I don't have a turkey.

Mr. Filthy is a bad dog.

From now on, his new name is Mr. Get-Outta-There. What am I gonna do? My nephew and his wife are comin' for dinner.

You know something? There's a place in Dillylick that has pre-cooked turkeys, and I'm sure they're open for at least another half an hour.

I can't make it to Dillylick.

Billy

You could if I took you there.

You'd do that for me?!

Billy

Sure.

[sets to leave] Oh, come on. Let's go. Time's a-wastin'!

Harry, I'd like you to meet Billy, Billy Twofeathers. He took your old job-- Engineer, first-class.

[shakes hands with his successor] Hello, Billy.

Billy

Oh, I've heard a lot about you, Harry. You left some mighty big shoes to fill around this place.

Thank you, Billy!

So tell me, what you been up to?

Well, let's see. It's hard to know where to begin. For one thing,...

Billy

[in response to the ringing phone] I'll get it.

Oh, thank you, Billy.

[Billy heads for the workshop]

I'm planning on rebuilding an entire steam engine. An old favorite of mine.

Billy

It's for you, Stacy!

Oh, excuse me, Harry.

[she heads for the workshop as Billy approaches Harry]

I was just telling Stacy my plans to build an entire steam engine...

[barges into the station] Mr. Twofeathers! There's a boiler problem with engine 4. I need you to look at it right away.

Billy

No problem. Thanks, Harry. [leaves]

Yeah, yeah, yes, Billy. Yes.

[surprised] Harry, is that you?!

Yes!

[shakes hands with Harry] Welcome back, old timer!

Hello!

What have you been doing with yourself?

Well, I was just telling Billy about my plans to build...

[looks at his watch] I'm afraid that'll have to wait, old friend. I have a dozen things to do. What time do you have?

I wouldn't know.

But what happened to that gold watch that we gave you when you retired?

Well, it stopped working.

I see. Well, we'll get that fixed for you! [leaves] Nice talking to you, Harry.

Yes. Yes.

[enters and passes Harry] Hey, Harry. How ya doin'? Ah, just great. I'll talk to you later.

Schemer? Schemer? Maybe things have changed around here.
