Dialogue

edit

[Everyone cheered, whistles and honks as confetti was launched into the air]
Percy: Thomas! You were gone so long, we thought you were never going to come home!
Gordon: Even I missed you, Thomas.
Mr. Percival: Congratulations, Thomas! Oh, and who might this be?
Thomas: Oh, Mr. Percival! This is my friend, Nia. I wouldn't have have made it without her.
Emily: Hi, Nia!
Gordon: Hello!
James: Welcome to Sodor!
Nia: Thank you and hello to all of you too!
Thomas: Nia is going to be staying here with us! I just need to speak to Sir Topham Hatt/The Fat Controller.
Mr. Percival: But I thought he'd be with you.
Thomas: Me? Why me?
Percy: Because he went looking for you.
Gordon: We thought he must have found you and was bringing you home again.
[Thomas look at James and Emily who look at each other in shock]
Percy: So, if he’s not with you?
Thomas: Then where in the world is he?
[Scene changes to a ship heads to China where Sir Topham Hatt is wearing a sailor's hat while being seasick]
Sir Topham Hatt: [groans, gloomy] I don’t suppose you seen this tank engine, Blue with the number 1 on the side of him. He’s called…
