Dialogue
[edit]- [The conductor catches Tom from trying to sneak past him]
- Conductor: Thomas! Just a minute.
- [Tom stands back in line as the conductor looks through his records]
- Conductor: Hm, apparently your whole life was spent persecuting an innocent little mouse, with a record like that I can't let you through. I'm sorry Tom. However, the Heavenly Express doesn't leave for an hour. [hands Tom a Certificate of Forgiveness] If within that time you can obtain the signature of that little mouse on this Certificate of Forgiveness, you will be permitted to pass. But if you fail, it's this...
- [The conductor pushes a button, a television screen turns on, showing an image of Hell, and in it, Spike is personified as the devil standing next to a pot of boiling lava]
- Devil Spike: [after a diabolical laugh] LET ME HAVE HIM! SEND HIM DOWN! GIVE HIM TO ME NOW! [Devil Spike continues his evil laugh, while Tom watches wide-eye in horror]
- Conductor: Remember, you have only an hour.
- [Tom then gets teleported back to Earth into his own body and wakes up, thinking it was all a dream. However, he quickly realizes he still has the Certificate of Forgiveness in his left hand. A golden clock appears on the wall counting the time until the Heavenly Express departs]
- Conductor: Hurry Tom, hurry!
