- Rataxes: [to Basil who is sawing through the wooden supports of the railway bridge] Basil, aren't you finished yet?
- Basil: I'm going as fast as I can, your rhiness!
- [Rataxes sees the smoke coming from the train in the distance]
- Rataxes: [gasps] The train is coming!
- Basil: [stops sawing] It is?
- [climbs up the side of the bridge to Rataxes and sees the train approaching]
- Basil: But it'll go down with the bridge! There are innocent elephants on that train!
- Rataxes: Basil, stop the train!
- Basil: Ah. You're truly an elephantarin at heart, your rhiness.
- Rataxes: No, I'm not! I'm truly...
- [pan down to his right foot stuck between the sleepers]
- Rataxes: stuck!
- [the train approaches]
- Rataxes: [frantically] Don't just stand there! STOP THAT TRAIN!
- Basil: I'll certainly try my best, boss.
- [timidly walks up to the approaching train]
- Basil: Um, stop, train.
- [Rataxes tries to pull his foot free]
- Basil: Stop, train.
