01x08 - Quarantine

[bunniefuu]

the tugboat for its size is the most

powerful craft to

flat and the star tugs are the power

behind the docks and waterways that make

up the big city

[Music]

Port this is bugs

[Music]

it was the year of the big Heat Wave old

Sailors like me never forget it many

incoming ships had sickness aboard and

flew the yellow flag to show they needed

medical examination for possible

infectious disease now if this proved

correct they had to stay at anchor out

of port and fly The Checkered Flag

showing they were in quarantine for 40

days and warning all shipping to stay

[Music]

clear by 6:30 on this morning it was

already feeling hot and oh tempers were

getting short if the sun gets any

stronger today my varnish will bubble

for

certain it's the longest Heatwave I can

remember and you go back to the I AG OJ

by the sound of your inance Burke and

Blair the evil-minded scrap dealers were

always on the lookout for old ships they

could buy up cheap they'd already made

me an offer for old

OJ that's made us late sunshine ah it's

not our fault though is it 6:30 is

briefing time sorry K we've been at the

water docks you know the scrapyard

dealers are looking for useless TGs

don't you now next time you're late I'll

ask them what they'll offer for a couple

of switches

understand yes Ken but s OJ's engine's

playing up he's at the fast station

picking up your barge huh now if he's

all right join the others waiting for

Schooners and trampers getting clearance

from quarantine understand Captain one

for you sunshine bring in the tramper

then tug it old dirt bucket no Wise

Cracks just get moving you wouldn't

really sell us for scrap would he

notless we late every day not anyway OJ

was now the only paddle driven tug left

in Big City Port he'd given many years

of good service but time was catching up

on

him my engine feels bad come on fireb

bars let's hope I can get you to the

fery pier Burk and Blair listened to his

splattering engine with

pleasure the heat wave had gone on far

too long for all of us but yet another

steamy day got hotter and hotter as the

sun climbed higher in the sky working

had to go on in spite of the heat the

fton ferry still had to ply back and

forth all day across the harbor carrying

vehicles and Freight on a regular

timetable the day had started out like

any other absolutely routine but this

was the trip when things were

different OJ saw the motorboat speeding

towards him but didn't realize that it

was out of control and going

fast land your time boy I'll be out of

your way the motorboat suddenly veered

towards them OJ reversed his engines

just in time to avoid it crashing into

him you fool you're exceeding the speed

limit his engine didn't respond as he

wanted it to and he started to spin to

starboard his bar swung out and hit the

ferry no the fairy boat started to list

water rushing into a gaping hole

my engine's

jammed but 10

cents thank heaven you're here what a

very sinking OJ I I'll try and get a

line on her tell her back to the pier no

no don't she's going to go all the way

down I'll have to try it's the only

chance before she goes right under

you'll never make it

alone we both might if I can get my

engine going properly how many times if

I don't cut in Star I need a new one

I've got a line on her but but I can't

pull cost off 10 cents she's going down

fast she is oh look she's

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

going oh no 10 cents what happened well

don't go go and get the Emergency

Services as fast as you can

[Music]

right Burke and Blair had a second go at

me ah they never give up ah Captain star

what about o j that ancient engine of

his is finished and so is he isn't he Mr

barck we don't sit around our Breakers

yard watching our staff turn old boats

into scrap do we Mr Blair always on the

lookout for who's next to go that's our

business and O's top of our list

the ferry booat had sunk right in the

port so the Emergency Services were

there in no time she lay on the bottom

not many fathoms down the cranes had

already got their grapples onto her 10

cents tried to explain what had happened

to the far Chief she hit your station

bars Chief right leave it to us we'll

want reports from you later

she's lying fairly level on a Sandy bed

all yours Mighty

Mo nothing ever seemed to happen in Big

City Port without some of the Zed Stacks

turning up and being no help at all well

well well just what have we got here a

sinking fair and a clapped out paddler

another efficient star maneuver eh dead

clumsy if you ask me yeah no one's

asking you though are they took some

doing that all those lovely cars too

shame yeah pity we weren't passing

earlier we could have got you out of

trouble we'd have to her in before she

went down wouldn't we Zoran sure we

would no point hanging about now though

we've got other fish to fry Zoran was

delighted that two of the star tugs

would not be in competition for

quarantine work but it seemed no ships

were being cleared at present you

needn't have rushed we're still waiting

we left as soon as the furry was

refloated I had a bit of an accident so

we

saw it wasn't my fault it was that mad

speedboat so you say oh good here comes

the Coast

Guard if you're waiting for clearance on

the Schooners forget it they're

quarantined oh no what suspected

micronic plague aboard sorry

fellas Captain star will be pleased I

don't think to think how I flogged my

engine to get here fast and all for no

purpose it turns out well I think I'll

go take a look see anyway you're not

going back then uh Zug maybe I'll Mose

you around here see if there's a breeze

at in the

Estuary he don't you need me zorin push

off sag oh okay

zorin he's up to something I'd like to

know what I never trusted that

saorin oh but Sunshine's gone out to

bring in a trampa ah zor will know about

it for sure he wouldn't try and take you

off him would he of course the villain

would who'd see him do it out there

right then 10 cents you and I will go

and see fair

play hi sir

sure I don't

know I do believe they see themselves Mr

Francis

[Music]

Drake Sunshine was wise not to go right

along side the yellow flag told him that

the tramper hadn't yet been examined for

infection those bugs must be all over

the place wait a minute that's

funny how's he got clearance where's the

Cor

God you give me a toe hey uh who me uh

no I've uh I've got another job to do

dirt booket H sorry I mean n took it

something's fishy here I'm not risking

it not me Sunshine was right no tug can

risk being quarantined alongside an

infected boat for 40

Days forget them and

[Music]

the old tramper and found it's waiting

for clearance what secret about that

secret would it

fortunately for Sunshine OJ and tens

cense arrived problem Sunshine well more

like a mystery to me anyway dir booket

was flying a yellow flag I hope you

you see it was pulled down just as I got

there so it's been cleared I see that's

your secret right it's mine no no it's

not not if I get there first isn't hey

panic now that we've done your engine

going at that speed the trampa will be

waiting examination or is quarantined

one of the other No Sunshine saw the

flag come down that means he's cleared

did you see a Guard Cutter alongside

Sunshine H no no but the flag did come

down or a Port Authority or a customs

boat oh your engine's gone o j that's

very serious for you never mind me it

could have been very serious for both of

you how are you

o you could have been quarantined we've

given s the contract on a play as Nan

Tucket wasn't flying a flag zoren pulled

along side meanwhile the two star

switches towed the old paddle tug back

to the star Pier both both a little sad

because they knew what this could mean

for OJ broke it down again he put on max

speed Captain to save me from quarantine

my engine's only good for scrap Captain

we all know that no you're right there

and I'm afraid OJ for you it means

what's that about quarantine 10 cents

well if it hadn't been for OJ I could

have been in quarantine now out of

action for 40 days all you sa have 10

cents Captain it's true don't go on

about that yes don't you'll have me in

tears but honestly Captain you've got

believe us we're only reporting a fact

very commendable but it's one side of

the facts isn't it Oho Captain star sir
