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…
EEddie
He means it, Top Hat!
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.
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…
(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.)
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!
EEddie
It's the Goods Train!
(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!
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!
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!
EEddie
Hmm, took some brain to save that train…
I’ll never complain about your smell again.
Rubbish can be valuable stuff.
EEddie
Someone's having a dockside celebration.
Oh, no, if there was a party, I would have been invited.
FFrank
Perhaps they don't need a long-necked highbrow. (he and Eddie laugh)
Very droll. They certainly won't want lowlifes like you there. I say, what's that?
Emergency! Emergency! Get them tied off and follow on, Top Hat! Might need all hands!
[VHS version] Yeah, follow on, Top Hat! Fire at the old dock!
[TV version] Yeah, Top Hat, follow on! Fire at the old dock!
I'd love to join you, but these two are in a right state!
EEddie
Always our fault, eh, Frank?
FFrank
Never 'is, eh, Eddie?
EEddie
He could take us along. D'like to see a fire.
The only fire you're going to see -- I can tell you this for a fact -- is the one I will set under your tracks if you DON'T GET A MOVE ON!
BFBoth Frank and Eddie
(Sarcastically) Ooooohhh!
