Quotes 

• 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.
