The Magic Roundabout Transcript

In the excerpt from 'The Magic Roundabout' that I chose, Ermantrude (the cow) believes that she is a bus, much to the annoyance of the other characters, particularly the train.  The video of the whole epiode is below.



Ermantrude: *drum roll* roll up roll up i have a special announcement to me everyone to me come along don't be shy (.) now where is everyone? never here whan you want them (.) to me everyone to me (.) oh dear *drum roll and breaks drum skin*

Ermantrude: you will have to pay dear
