Let’s do a quick check. Barge completed with colourful oil drums and streamers? Yes. His lordship, spic and span? Yes. Jack, wearing colourful hat? Yes. Good! Well, that is it!
I just don’t believe this! What are they gonna' say when they see this junk heap?
SLord Stinker
Well, I like the banner; "Municipal Garbage wishes you all a happy day!"
MGMunicipal Garbage Foreman
Ha Ha, Warrior! You can go now, the Regatta's about to start! Just join it, and be proud of the Municipal Garbage Corporation, alright? On your way now, and good luck!
Thank you sir! It’s been, er, um, a most enjoyable day!
JGJack the Grappler
Nice job that, very nice job. I can enjoy my day, now. Good luck, Warrior!
Go into reverse if you please, it's MY Water. [A Passenger Train crosses the bridge pulling two carriages]
I repeat, it is MY WATER!
You've 5 Seconds to back up!
What, Well, so have YOU then…
1! Get to the bridge fast, Zeb, and you’ve got him!
Watch my wake! That Star's met his match!
[narrating] Both Zebedee and Top Hat put on full power and surged forwards towards each other and the bridge.
SLord Stinker
Top Hat, look at his load!
He's going to hit! Hold on, I'm going into reverse!
He's backin' up! Didn't I tell you, Zak?
Didn't even make a fight of it! (laughs, but stops) Oh no…. I see why now; the bridge! Zeb! REVERSE ENGINES! QUICK!!!
Oh no! I- I can't stop! Ooooh, no! …help!
That's real Zero thinking, dummy.
I s'pose Zak an' I'd better go and get some help…
(hears an engine's whistle) That’s a mail train, isn't it? Oh dear, the bridge! It's… It's… Wait a minute! I've got it! If I can get that steel rig under the bridge; maybe it'll hold while the train gets across. It's worth a try.
SLord Stinker
Don't waste time cutting me free. Take me with you.
You'll take that risk, Stinker?
SLord Stinker
Of course I will, it's only rubbish.
[narrating] Top Hat's idea was to try and prop up the bridge, if he could get the steel rig into place before the train got there. It was signalled through, so there was no way anybody could stop it.
(Top Hat and Lord Stinker pulls the steel rig's barge into place)
[narrating] The bridge was weakened by the accident. Top Hat could only hope his idea would work. There was no way of warning the train!
(Top Hat and Lord Stinker had manage to save the mail train by propping the steel rig under the bridge and it holds up long enough for the mail train to pass.)
SLord Stinker
Well done, Top Hat. You saved the-
Oh, LOOK OUT!
(the rig keels over & falls into the water.)
This is terrible!
(without the steel rig, the bridge starts to buckle, then they hear another engine whistle)
Oh, no, I know that whistle!
(Little Owl the goods engine makes it's way towards the bridge just as it breaks apart completely with it now sloping down into the water)
We can't save this one! It’s IMPOSSIBLE!
SLord Stinker
No it’s not! Push me under that rail, quick!
What? Oh yes, I see. I get the idea! Right!
(he shoves Stinker through the debris so that the rails lead to his hold)
If this doesn’t work, you’ll be in danger yourself, Stinker!
SLord Stinker
I know. Don’t remind me. Just get me under the end of that rail!
(pushed Lord Stinker into place, and Stinker's idea works, Little Owl lands safely in Stinker's hold, its wagons veer into the canal.) It’s worked, Stinker! You’re a smelly old genius, nothing less!
Hmm, took some brain to save that train…
SLord Stinker
Oh, I say, hehe.
I’ll never complain about your smell again.
SLord Stinker
Rubbish can be valuable stuff.
SLord Stinker
What's that?
That!
(Warrior, while distracted, accidentally causes Lord Stinker to hit the dockside.)
It's -- ouch! Be careful! It's a red sky. "Red sky at night: sailors' delight.".
The sun went down ages ago. And that's north, not west!
(A slight pause.)
BWBoth Warrior and Lord Stinker
FIRE!
