Players: Wake up, Caroline.
Michael Angelis: They said to their old car.
Players: The chase was on.
Michael Angelis: Caroline coughed crossly and rolled down the road. Stepney wasn't hurrying. Caroline soon came up behind. Caroline: Toot! Toot!
Michael Angelis: She wailed.
Tom Clements The players shouted but Stepney was still too far for his driver and fireman and even all the strange children to see or hear properly. They completely misunderstood.
Pippi: Look at these players. They want a race.
Tommy: Let's give them. Faster you can, Stepney!
Michael Angelis: Poor Caroline wasn't happy at all. She rattled along at twice her usual speed.
Caroline: I shouldn't be treated like this.
Michael Angelis: she grumbled.
Caroline: This pace is too hot for my system. It'll fuse all my circuits.
Michael Angelis: Suddenly, Stepney was nowhere to be seen.
Caroline: Hurrah!
Michael Angelis: cried Caroline.
Caroline: That silly train has run into a hole so we can't catch it. I can go home now.
Michael Angelis: But she couldn't. Her driver pounded Caroline on up the steep hill and then the other side towards the station. Stepney was already here when Caroline cluttered in.
Players: We need our ball back!
Michael Angelis: Cried the players and explained everything. The ball was nestled in some straw and the third truck from the van.
Player: We found it!
Michael Angelis: Cried the player.
Player: Oh, you couldn't help it.
Michael Angelis: Replied the player.
Player: Now we must get back quickly.
Annika: Yes. Off their way to the game!
Pippi: No.
Tommy: Why no, Pippi?
(Pippi show Tommy and Annika at Caroline, her radiator's overheated.)
Annika: Look at Caroline.
Pippi: She's worn out.
Michael Angelis: And she was.
