As Good as Gordon

00:00It was a beautiful autumn day on the island of Sodor.

00:07All the engines were working very hard.

00:11The Fat Controller came to Tidmouth Sheds. He had exciting news.

00:16Gordon is to take the new mayor of Sodor on a special tour of the island, he announced.

00:23Gordon was thrilled, but then he had a thought.

00:27Who will take the Express, sir? he asked.

00:30The other engines were excited.

00:33Pulling the Express was an important job.

00:37Everyone wanted to be chosen, but the Fat Controller chose Emily.

00:43When the Fat Controller left, Emily was very happy, but Gordon wasn't impressed.

00:50The Express is the longest passenger train on the island, he sniffed.

00:55I always cross the island twice by tea time. You'll never do that.

01:00I've got big wheels and I'll do my best, said Emily.

01:05Big wheels don't make a big engine, boasted Gordon.

01:09Everyone knows I'm the best.

01:11Thomas thought Gordon was showing off.

01:14Twice before tea time, he puffed. That will be hard.

01:18But Emily wasn't listening to Thomas.

01:21I'm going to be as good as Gordon, she said eagerly.

01:24And she steamed away as fast as she could.

01:27Emily puffed into Knapford Station.

01:33She was looking forward to taking the Express.

01:36But it was very, very heavy.

01:39Bus, man! Buffers!

01:40She gasped as she slowly pulled out of the station.

01:43But she pulled away too soon and left the brake coach behind.

01:47Emily puffed with all her might.

01:51She was determined to be fast.

02:00Emily crossed the island once in good time.

02:04I am as good as Gordon, she puffed proudly.

02:17Emily had to wait for Edward at the crossing.

02:20Edward went as fast as he could.

02:22But it wasn't fast enough for Emily.

02:24Hurry up, slow coach, she cried.

02:27Or you will make me late.

02:29Edward felt sad.

02:31But Emily just steamed on.

02:39Emily stopped in Maithwaite Station.

02:42The Express was a guaranteed connection with Bertie the bus.

02:45But Bertie hadn't arrived.

02:47He'd had a flat tire and was running late.

02:50Emily tried to wait.

02:53She counted to ten twice.

02:56But she felt as if a boiler would burst.

02:59I'm going to be the slowest engine on Sodor, she cried.

03:03And it's not my fault.

03:05And she puffed away.

03:07When Bertie arrived, Emily had already left.

03:14Emily needed to take on water.

03:19But James was at the water tower.

03:22He was pulling the slow goods train.

03:25Emily wanted to go first.

03:28It doesn't matter if you are late, she said.

03:32You must wait your turn, said James crossly.

03:36Express trains don't wait, said Emily.

03:40And she left without taking on water.

03:45Emily went faster than ever.

03:48Her carriages rocked and rolled.

03:50And her passengers were biffed and bumped and bounced.

03:53Down the line, Trevor the traction engine had been struggling with a big cartload of hay.

04:08Crossing the tracks, the cart's wheels had broken off.

04:11Then Trevor heard a whistle.

04:13Oh no, Trevor cried.

04:19Emily could see the cart.

04:21Stop!

04:22He cried.

04:23Emily's driver applied the brakes, but it was too late.

04:33Luckily, no one was hurt.

04:35Stop being pushy.

04:39Emily snapped.

04:40Don't call me pushy.

04:42James snapped back.

04:43You shouldn't have pushed me into the cart.

04:45Oh Emily, you pulled me a mean out of you, James.

04:48Didn't he?

04:49Dead.

04:50Dead no.

04:51Dead too.

04:54Before long, the track was cleared.

04:56And Emily and James were on their way.

04:59But their engines were so cross, they refused to speak to each other for the rest of the day.

05:13That night, the Fat Controller spoke severely.

05:16Gordon, he was very cross.

05:19You should have waited, said the Fat Controller.

05:22And now you have caused confusion and delay.

05:25You left the brake coach, stranded Bertie's passengers, and bumped your carriages.

05:31Emily hits cart of hay.

05:33The Express crashed Emily and James back onto the tracks.

05:37You will be expressed in the yards till I can trust you again.

05:41Yes, sir.

05:42Sorry, sir, said Gordon.

05:44And Gordon punished on his own.

05:50So after she took on water...

05:52...and lots of coal...

05:56...Emily buffered up to the slow goods train.

06:09She stopped at all the right stations...

06:12...and she let all the other engines go first.

06:24She stopped at a signal.

06:42Thomas was waiting there.

06:44I am learning patience, Emily puffed.

06:50But if only I could learn it faster, she cried.

06:53Thomas had to laugh.

06:55Follow the Larrys.

06:56!

07:07Yes!

07:08You're the only one I can.

07:10It's a great this video.

07:11It's a great voice.

07:12It's a great play.

07:13Humph fuller.

07:14The Gabby does have to come.

07:15I don't care.

07:16I don't care.

07:17I don't care.

07:18I don't care.

07:19I don't care.

07:20I'm not an individual.

07:21I don't care.

07:22But I don't care.

07:23I don't care.
