0:00

Forever.

0:04

It's time to set a little ones to

0:06

come.

0:11

And set your radios down

0:13

to spooky. Both

0:15

the doors. Lock your windows and

0:18

steal yourself from mysterious suspense.

0:21

You will see you as final future.

0:23

Beyond your belief. Meet

0:26

Drinky Sadie Doyle. The

0:36

coast of the upper crusts, headliners

0:39

on the society bridges, and

0:41

oh, yes. Let's see

0:43

ghosts. Who

0:46

cares what evil looks at the hearts of

0:48

men? Unless evil is carrying the

0:50

Martini trade darling.

0:55

Join the toys in tonight's dark

0:57

episode, Drinky and

0:59

the train. Our

1:02

story begins aboard a locomotive

1:05

rolling through the snowy countryside.

1:12

Drinky, our very own train

1:14

car, cozy car seventeen.

1:18

It's as adorable as a hedgehog wearing

1:20

a cap and middens.

1:23

Our rodents and winter wear usually so

1:25

Drinky. My assistant is taking

1:27

care of that. Oh, here he is now.

1:29

He just lit the steam generator. Right?

1:32

That's right. Porters have assistance.

1:34

Hey, you don't get to just be a porter.

1:37

I

1:38

wish, gosh, I haven't made.

1:43

I I can't tell if you're being sarcastic. Me

1:46

about what and why?

1:48

Furthermore, that's enough. It should heat up

1:50

too. Well, until then, we have

1:52

blankets and fur coats and a

1:54

fiery passion brimming beneath

1:56

the surface of our every

1:58

interaction. Well,

2:01

this train car suddenly feels downright toasty.

2:04

We

2:04

didn't think we'd have any passengers tonight. The

2:06

train was empty until you turned up.

2:09

Empty. On Christmas Eve.

2:11

Yep. I was looking forward teaching my assistant

2:13

how to take the evening off, but it is

2:15

what it is. Let us know if you need anything.

2:19

We do. Decidedly.

2:21

There's only so warm we can

2:23

get from the outside. Oh, yes.

2:25

If it's not too much trouble, we'd like to order

2:27

drinks before settling in, and

2:30

even if it is.

2:32

Would that be possible, mister

2:35

porter.

2:38

You're a reporter named Porter?

2:41

Yeah. I I never really heard of that. Yeah. Yeah. No. I guess

2:43

I am. Yeah.

2:45

You

2:45

never really thought of it? III never

2:47

say anything when we met because I assumed you'd heard it a

2:49

million times. Yeah.

2:50

Well, I guess everyone assumed that because it's literally

2:52

never come up.

2:55

Now I cannot tell if you're being sarcastic

2:57

or if this is just how you are. Thank

3:00

you.

3:05

Alright. As we were driving as

3:07

we were driving at before taking this by weight

3:09

to normative determination,

3:11

Would it be possible to order drinks?

3:13

Of course. Splendid. We'll

3:16

eat Possible, but my assistant and I have several

3:18

things to prep now that we have guests You

3:20

see, we thought we'd have Christmas Eve

3:21

off, but as I said, you then turned up.

3:24

There's a barcode in the back, sir. It's not set up

3:26

yet, but I can do that in jiffy, then you can order

3:28

drinks there from me. And then you

3:30

can walk them back here for

3:32

you. How does that sound?

3:33

Like more walking than jiffy, but

3:35

I could stand to stretch my legs. Well, we

3:37

would normally bring the drinks to you, but we'll be busy

3:39

housing your luggage. I sent the luggage handler's

3:41

home because it's Christmas

3:43

Eve. And there weren't any passengers

3:45

until you guys.

3:46

We tend to have Yes.

3:49

In the spirit of the giving season,

3:51

I will get our Thank

3:53

you darling. And thank

3:55

you, miss porter and mister

3:58

Porter's assistant. I

4:02

truly didn't believe we were going to make

4:04

it home in time for

4:05

Christmas, Frank. Well, there's a

4:07

will, there's a wallet. I was happy

4:09

to pay three times the normal amount for

4:11

a train ticket just to toast each other under

4:13

our own mistletoe.

4:15

Two of our favorite traditions and

4:18

Missletoe to all three.

4:21

Oh, boom. We don't have any

4:23

cocktails yet.

4:24

I'll see if this porta's assistant has that car

4:26

set up. And I'll settle in and wait for

4:28

you right here, Frank, in cozy car

4:31

seventeen. I

4:35

do so love a romantic train

4:37

ride through the country in the

4:39

snow. The only things better

4:42

would be two things. Frank

4:45

in my drink. I was

4:47

just wishing for your

4:48

boar.

4:49

Now your wish is our command.

4:51

And it was a jiffy after all.

4:53

No.

4:53

Still too long.

4:54

No. Free.

4:55

It was harrowing being apart for even moments.

4:58

My dramatic husband, to

5:00

him, to

5:12

you. To

5:16

us. Oh.

5:24

To the very last sip.

5:32

Now while I love the sentiment, I do not

5:34

love that that was the very last sip. Shall

5:36

I go and get us another

5:37

round?

5:38

Paresh the thought, allow me. And I'll

5:40

bring back the bottle this time.

5:41

As many as you can carry.

5:43

And more. No. Strike that. How would

5:45

I even?

5:47

If anyone could find a way

5:50

Or a wagon. Do ask

5:52

the porter for one. Oh,

5:56

the porter can transport the

5:58

bottles until there's enough to make this

6:00

cab in the bar cart.

6:04

Sorry that took so long love, the porta's assistant

6:06

started unloading the bottom shelf liquor

6:08

first. Can you believe? And then I had

6:10

to guide him through how to make a proper

6:11

martini. And then would you believe it? I

6:14

saw wait,

6:15

what

6:15

are these glasses doing here? What do you mean

6:17

took so long? You're here again so

6:20

soon. Without the bottles,

6:22

you promise much less the wagon.

6:24

What do you mean? What do I mean took so long?

6:27

Furthermore, what do you mean by the rest of it?

6:29

You were just here. I was. You were.

6:31

And I just left. You did. After

6:33

drinking martinis with you out of these glasses.

6:36

That's right. I'm glad I asked.

6:38

Otherwise, a force may have very well ensued

6:40

between this other

6:41

me, myself, and you. Death

6:44

would

6:44

have been something entrances and

6:47

exits, mistaken identity.

6:50

Oh, misunderstandings running from

6:52

cardiac r.

6:53

Just as you always say darling. The

6:55

key to avoiding a force is to always

6:57

ask questions.

7:04

Now here's one, if you're

7:07

you, who was the you, who

7:09

was just in

7:09

here, Now

7:10

the only solution is that it was also

7:12

me for if it weren't. If it

7:15

weren't, I would know it. Sadie,

7:18

It may be the case that I got

7:20

you me for Christmas.

7:25

Oh, in the bar car, it happened

7:27

upon a coin operated wishing

7:29

machine. One of those

7:31

animatronic, non denominational angels

7:33

named Zu Zu that brands Christmas

7:35

wedges for

7:36

pennies. I don't want a colorful waste

7:38

of money. Now

7:42

the Zu Zu machine offered to grant my heart's

7:44

desire for Christmas.

7:45

And what was your heart's desire? Another

7:48

you?

7:49

My heart's desire was and is and

7:51

ever shall be, whatever your

7:54

heart desires. No. What

7:56

a thoughtful wish darling

7:59

I only got your cufflings. Oh,

8:02

I adore shirt jewelry.

8:06

And I recall wishing

8:09

you'd appear at my door with

8:11

our drinks and there you were

8:13

Another mystery solved by Drinky

8:16

Sadie Doyle.

8:17

With one more quick on its heels. Yes.

8:20

If the other me were heading from here to the

8:22

bar car and I, the me I am,

8:24

the one talking

8:25

me, was heading here from the

8:27

bar car. Why

8:28

didn't you run into each other? I

8:32

suspect we're about to find out.

8:36

Oh, it's you. Here with a

8:39

wagon full of bottles and a note

8:41

from you.

8:43

What what I'm sorry. What are you doing here? How did you

8:45

beat us? Do you still want us to deliver the other

8:47

Booz Wagner? Yeah.

8:48

First things first. Gratuity. Thank

8:50

you.

8:54

Second thing, second. Liquor

8:56

or the note. Both. You fellas

8:58

on load these bottles.

8:59

Sadie, will you prepare the drinks while I read this

9:01

note? Of course. Mhmm.

9:04

Dear, Frankenstein, I expect you

9:06

figured out what happens. I have put it together myself

9:09

and who am I but you. As

9:11

you've each got each other, I've wished

9:13

myself a sadie of my own from the

9:15

Zuzu machine. Almost

9:18

sweet. Continuing.

9:30

If you care to meet for a drink, please

9:32

arrange it via porter porter and his assistant

9:35

who one assumes is named mister

9:36

assistant. Yours, etcetera,

9:39

you. So that's

9:41

how there's another one of my husband and

9:44

presumably another one of me,

9:46

a simple otherworldly Christmas

9:49

Eve mishap.

9:50

You know how it is. I

9:52

sure do. Supernatural

9:56

mishaps.

9:56

Yeah. Do they have tickets though? If

9:58

the other fellow had a penny for wishing, he's

10:00

me to the very penny.

10:01

Identical. So

10:02

they must have identical tickets.

10:04

You can provide them with another room.

10:07

I hope they're all vacant, aren't

10:09

they? He did say he was switching rooms,

10:11

I located. I didn't know I'd be tumbling

10:13

my workload. And what are you smiling

10:15

about? Twice the experience. This

10:24

show is sponsored by Better Help.

10:27

Hey, everyone. It's Annie Savage

10:30

from The Thrilling Adventure Hour. Talking

10:32

to you once again about the incredible

10:35

benefits of therapy. When

10:38

was the last time you learned something new

10:40

about yourself. And

10:43

not just a new hobby

10:45

that you picked up or discovering

10:47

that you like mushrooms now and

10:50

you didn't when you were a kid, but something

10:54

new to you that maybe other

10:56

people have noticed your

10:59

whole life. Reasons you

11:01

react the way you do to certain

11:03

things or the way

11:06

you avoid certain things or whatever

11:08

these certain habits that

11:11

you have throughout your life, everything

11:14

has a source. And

11:17

that is what therapy does.

11:19

It helps you discover

11:22

all of those connections. So

11:24

your life, your brain

11:26

is like this game of connect

11:28

the dots without any

11:30

numbers. So you

11:33

are just kind of connecting all over the

11:35

place, but talking to a

11:37

therapist will help you connect

11:40

those dots. So you actually

11:42

get an image that makes

11:44

sense. If you are ready

11:46

to discover something new about yourself

11:49

and I recommend that you do, then

11:51

give better help a try.

11:53

It's entirely online. It's

11:55

designed to be convenient, flexible,

11:59

and suited to your schedule. You just fill

12:01

out a brief questionnaire and you will

12:03

be matched with a licensed therapist. You

12:05

can also switch therapists at

12:07

any time for no additional charge,

12:10

which is great because I've certainly had

12:12

therapists that I just wasn't driving with.

I'm kind of in the mood

to play connect the dots. You

12:36

should check my daughter's activity books

12:38

see if there's

12:39

any. She hasn't done yet.

12:49

This is prophet Tim Heidegger commanding

12:51

you to tune in to office hours live

12:53

this week with special

12:54

guest, preacher Ken Marino,

12:56

from

12:57

the holiest television show party down

12:59

in

12:59

our

12:59

brother from the North Andy Shao singing

13:02

praise with the gift of song. Yeah.

13:06

No. Repentor

13:09

find us on your part.

13:49

Oh, impatient to meet us or

13:51

impatient for the other wagon. No.

13:56

Second Drinky, I presume. Not

13:59

by a long shot, I'm afraid. No.

14:02

No. Oh. Yeah.

14:05

The other you, the second one, hit when you were

14:07

coming back from the barcar. Makes sense.

14:09

He's smart. We all are. If we

14:11

do say so ourselves, on

14:14

seeing you, he figured out what happened. He hid

14:16

in a room. You passed him by. He went to the

14:18

bar car, arranged the wagons, ordered up a city,

14:20

the Suzhou machine, sent him to a room to

14:22

wait, and I woke up in the bar

14:24

car. I didn't really question much past

14:26

how it's up to me to wish my own sadie, so

14:29

I did.

14:29

And now you'd like a rude.

14:31

Take your pick. I'm pretty sure there's

14:33

more to the story. There's more to the

14:35

story. I love this

14:37

story. Should

14:41

we kiss, tell the story,

14:43

and then we should, the three of us, kiss.

14:49

The

14:49

thing is, I don't know how many francs there are

14:51

or say these. I think the Zu Zu is

14:53

up to something. Otherwise, Why doesn't

14:55

she put a shady with a Drinky call it a

14:57

knight? Oh, it's a treat to see my

15:00

wheels turning from the outside. Well,

15:03

we're a good looking fellow. You think

15:05

Zu Zu is separating them as

15:08

them on

15:08

purpose? I do. So that

15:10

each Frank will wish for another

15:13

sadie, and each sadie will wish for another

15:15

frame.

15:15

That's what I But why? I

15:18

haven't figured it out yet.

15:21

I think I know why. Sadie,

15:23

how lovely. I'll

15:26

say we are. More guests,

15:29

how fun? Yeah. That's not the word I'd

15:31

use. We're gonna have to turn all our beds down

15:33

tonight. So exciting. No.

15:37

Why do you think the Zu Zu

15:39

machine is making so many copies?

15:41

I think she's got some sort of quota,

15:44

a Genie Grant's three wishes and

15:46

then it's free. Perhaps it's something

15:48

like that. You make good sense.

15:51

You're the original auntie, I

15:53

am jammed.

15:56

And if you're the original city,

15:59

then you haven't yet made a wish. I

16:01

haven't. This train

16:03

is crawling with Drinky and sadies.

16:06

It's too

16:06

many. You need to wish us all

16:08

out of existence.

16:10

We're not gonna like that. I don't expect

16:12

you will. Why do

16:14

you want it?

16:16

I don't, but it the way it must

16:18

be. I'll miss you most

16:20

of all. Oh,

16:24

they're coming. Uh-oh.

16:27

Oh. There's a lot of you out

16:29

in that narrow

16:30

hallway.

16:30

Yeah. Well, that's just a fire hazard. We'll

16:32

hold them off as long as we can. Won't we statistic?

16:35

Of course, we will. We'll do it together,

16:37

frankenstein. Must

16:48

be a lag with the copies. Frank,

16:53

you take Porter Porter's hand, and

16:55

I'll take mister assistance. In that way, we'll

16:57

get to know where us when we get to the barcode.

16:59

Thinking. Look

17:03

at all the uss.

17:05

I wish we could take some home with us.

17:08

I think they're looking for us.

17:10

They don't know who's who. They're

17:12

chasing each other from room to room.

17:15

Precisely the fast we were trying

17:18

to avoid.

17:24

All it right there, you too. Yeah.

17:27

Stop your walking. One foot

17:29

then the other then the first foot again.

17:31

Then that second guy. That's

17:34

a walking works that stopped chewing

17:36

it. Oh, dear. It

17:38

appears our copies are depreciating in

17:41

the quality. Use

17:46

words with less ideas

17:49

in them. Yeah.

17:53

Less language. Oh,

17:56

so Drinky, we

17:58

want. You have. Give us

18:00

them the Drinky.

18:02

And the glasses around

18:04

them. Yeah.

18:07

The glasses too for

18:09

the drinks to be in. My

18:11

Drinky, brain genius.

18:13

Look, these aren't the drinks you want. They're

18:15

almost finished. See, so go to

18:17

coast car seventeen. There's a whole wagon

18:19

full of Drinky. In glasses.

18:23

In bottles. Bottles

18:28

and glasses, moms, and

18:30

dads.

18:36

We'll go there now. Yes.

18:38

Not so fast. We

18:43

go.

18:47

No. No. No.

18:49

No. No. No.

18:53

Are you the original? Rumors,

18:56

the originals are trying to

18:58

stop us from being

19:01

being. That's right.

19:04

And so the plan is to stop

19:06

them from being first

19:09

with a fist but

19:11

minute

19:12

different hands. I

19:14

want our hands. And

19:18

maybe there will be kicking and

19:20

pull them apart like monkey

19:22

bread. So are you the original?

19:25

We're not the originals. We're looking for

19:27

them too. I tell you what sport. We'll go

19:30

this way. You go that way and we'll meet

19:33

We

19:33

are the two ways convert. That's

19:36

right.

19:37

How do we know you are not Yeah.

19:41

Good brains at Disney. Thank

19:45

you, doctor Frank and Steens monster.

19:50

Well, what if we told you something only the

19:52

originals wouldn't know?

19:55

I don't know.

19:59

That sounds like a good idea.

20:01

It really does.

20:02

That sounds like it sounds like

20:05

a good idea.

20:07

I've heard that. Yay. Alright.

20:10

Here it goes. We're the two of us,

20:13

not the original Franklin City Door.

20:15

Could the original Franklin Stadium Oil

20:18

say that? No. Wait.

20:22

Maybe. No. Okay.

20:26

Let's go find that wagon lady.

20:28

Bye you guys.

20:31

Should we tip them? Oh, we're going.

20:34

Bye.

20:44

That was close, I guess. Maybe.

20:46

Anyway, here we are.

20:50

Bar cars empty.

20:52

Oh, they all made their wishes. Hey,

20:55

look over there. Is that

20:58

dumb? No,

21:00

baby. Why?

21:03

You two go. We'll we'll hold them off from here.

21:05

Will you

21:06

be alright? Sam, we're smarter. It's

21:08

our job is to do whatever it takes to

21:10

serve our passengers. Not wished up

21:12

duplicates of our passengers. We serve the

21:14

ones who actually gave for tickets.

21:17

The best way to serve you is to hold back

21:19

the ever growing army as long as possible

21:21

so you made

21:21

flee. Here's

21:22

a little something for your efforts. It's

21:24

our honor, sir. Godspeed. Thank

21:27

you. Gentlemen of the rails.

21:31

We're splitting that tip.

21:39

We made it. The wishing

21:41

machine in the bar card.

21:44

I don't win. Hi. Hi. You

21:47

get one wish. It's your

21:49

heart's desire. Woo. You put in

21:51

the coin, you push my speaking paddle, and then which

21:53

happens. And after

21:54

that, I hit the coin.

22:00

This Suzhou machine is far

22:02

less charming than I'd imagined.

22:05

Know what else I can do besides grandma

22:07

wish. Good hearing.

22:08

Oops.

22:12

But how would you feel if you were cursed to

22:14

be an animatronic torso stuck in

22:16

a contraption

22:16

granny wishes for anyone with a penny in their

22:18

pocket? I

22:20

suppose that while bitter resentment and

22:23

self pitying might jockey for dominance,

22:25

that more than anything without

22:28

I'd feel simply

22:30

bereft. There

22:32

were a lot of

22:32

them. Good thing they respect the authority of a porter.

22:35

Who would

22:36

But for how long is the question? So I locked

22:38

the bar card door. We're safe until they breached that.

22:40

But maybe if you'd hurry up with your wish

22:42

already, they won't get to.

22:44

Shall I make my wish then? Well, as

22:46

we go as we've always assumed we would,

22:48

torn asunder by our own flawed reflections.

22:57

Look at your heart. Is its desire

22:59

really to undo all of the uss out there?

23:03

I don't know. His

23:05

self preservation won true

23:08

heart's desire.

23:11

It's mine, I Give

23:13

me that

23:14

penny. Hey, you watch more and a

23:16

little extra for your efforts. We're splitting

23:18

that. Okay. Got that.

23:22

And then things don't make it better. Right?

23:24

Or worse. Cool.

23:33

Well, they

23:35

still all exist.

23:43

Your heart desired a hat. Oh,

23:45

wow. Not just any hat. This is a porter's

23:47

hat. No

23:49

more assistant for

23:50

me. I'm a full fledged porter.

23:53

A hard once with a hard once.

23:57

Have you made your wish yet, mister Porter?

23:59

My pleasure.

24:00

Yeah.

24:00

And I sure won't put my heart's desire in the hands

24:03

of an infertile wishing device. I'm not even supposed

24:05

to be here tonight. And technically, I'm

24:07

first, not peps.

24:11

The genie got just a little too tied up and ironic

24:13

twist

24:14

oncoming. Anyway, I got great wishes,

24:16

and this is soon to be wish this evening on

24:18

the caustic number.

24:21

I knew it. I'm in

24:23

the eye we met earlier knew it.

24:26

That's why you kept the Franks away from the

24:28

Savings.

24:29

I saw the way. He's

24:31

running. He's just getting those of kind of magic

24:33

numbers that he does.

24:34

No. They're almost four dollars

24:37

in that little size two. And if I One,

24:41

please. It's a penny less deep water and

24:43

little extra fear of trouble. I believe in you.

24:45

Here we go. This

24:54

work. They're fading away.

24:58

Oh. And so are you

25:00

friends? After I tipped him in everything.

25:04

I'm fading away too. Whoa.

25:12

Everyone's God. Yeah. His

25:14

heart's desire was a train without pass.

25:16

Yes. That seems right. Right. No constant demands.

25:18

Nothing to do, but nothing, and we still get

25:21

paid.

25:23

Okay.

25:23

But those copies, were were they alive?

25:26

Are they still?

25:28

Let's see. No. I mean,

25:30

they never prudently were and they sure aren't

25:32

out. Let's say or

25:35

they

25:35

weren't. Don't ask questions you don't

25:37

want answers to.

25:39

Alright. But the originals, are they okay?

25:41

What? Say they are. It's like a thirty seventy

25:44

shot. Look, I'm a cursed

25:46

wish granting

25:46

torso. don't have a lot of fine motor control.

25:49

Yeah.

25:49

On that topic, Jonah, please make an out of

25:51

order sign for this troublemaker.

25:52

What? But I granted you your heart's desire.

25:56

Yes. But what what cost? Penny.

26:01

Well, you might have killed those people if that's

26:03

what I accident wanted and you twisted their

26:05

wishes to suit you. All this being punished to be

26:07

a torso and you still haven't learned your lesson.

26:09

You're staying put where you can't do any more your danger,

26:11

mischief. You think I didn't know what's best for a train?

26:14

I'm a porter.

26:15

Jonah, the story. You're not my

26:17

boss anymore. But

26:19

you are my friend. So I'll do it.

26:22

Also, I love making something.

26:38

Meanwhile, back in the Doyle's

26:41

penthouse apartment. We're

26:45

home. How lovely

26:47

of that porter to transport us

26:49

here rather than make us disembark at

26:51

a station. Probably

26:55

because I tipped him.

26:57

Hears to us and

26:59

only us. The ones and

27:01

only's.

27:10

It seems that Franklin's saving

27:13

learned the two is more than enough

27:15

company. And the only doubles

27:17

they enjoy are the potable kind.

27:20

Join the doilies next time. Would they

27:22

once again walk beyond belief? In
