00:01Oliver had been to the works to be mended.
00:05Some troublesome trucks tripped him and the great western engine fell into the turntable well.
00:14Now Oliver was as good as new, but he was still worried about trucks.
00:19I'd rather not use them, he puffed to himself.
00:24But the trucks sang songs, rude and loud.
00:28Scruffy, their leader, led the chorus.
00:32Oliver's no use at all, thinks he's very clever.
00:37Says that he can manage us, that's the best joke ever.
00:40When the yacht is on sabbat, with the greatest folly,
00:44we just push him down the well.
00:47Up goes old Dolly.
00:49Thomas, Duck and Percy were shocked.
00:52Be quiet, they ordered.
00:54But they couldn't be everywhere, and everywhere they weren't.
00:57The trucks began again.
00:59Oliver's no use at all, thinks he's very clever.
01:02Says the econ manager, that's the best joke ever.
01:06At last the engines gave up.
01:13We're sorry, Oliver, they said.
01:16It's really my fault, said Oliver sadly.
01:19I shouldn't have fallen in the turntable well.
01:22Toad, the brake fan, felt sorry for Oliver too.
01:25Next morning he spoke to Douglas.
01:32I'm worried, Mr. Douglas.
01:34This disrespect for engines, where's it going to end?
01:37Who knows? sighed Douglas.
01:40I've got a plan, Mr. Douglas.
01:43May I stay here today and help Mr. Oliver?
01:46We are both Great Western and must stand together.
01:49Of course, Toad, replied Douglas and puffed away.
01:54Soon Toad was explaining his plan.
01:57Goodness gracious, Toad.
01:59I don't think you should suggest such a thing to Oliver.
02:02But Oliver interrupted.
02:03No, Duck.
02:04Toad's right.
02:05It's really my fault.
02:07I must put this trouble right.
02:08I meant no disrespect, you understand.
02:11Of course not, Toad.
02:13Anyway, driver says the same.
02:14And he's arranged it with the stationmaster.
02:16Very well, Oliver, conceded Duck.
02:19But I must hurry.
02:20My passengers will be waiting.
02:22Good luck.
02:23So long, smiled Oliver bravely.
02:26But he felt dreadfully nervous inside.
02:33Oliver marshalled the worst trucks two by two.
02:36Two by two.
02:37That's the way, Mr. Oliver, whispered Toad.
02:40And if you leave that Scruffy to last, you'll have him behind you.
02:45Then you can bump him if he starts his nonsense.
02:59Hold back, hold back, whispered Scruffy.
03:02And passed the word to the others.
03:05The silly trucks giggled.
03:11But Oliver knew what to do.
03:13There was plenty of sand on the rails and his wheels gripped splendidly.
03:16He gave a great heave.
03:18Oh, groaned Scruffy.
03:19I don't like this.
03:20Go in, yelled Duck.
03:21Well done, boy.
03:22Well done.
03:23Oh, well Scruffy.
03:24I'm coming apart.
03:25And he did.
03:26Then there was trouble.
03:27Well, Oliver, so you don't know your own strength, is that it?
03:34No, no, no, sir, said Oliver nervously.
03:35The fat controller inspected Scruffy.
03:36How's her thought?
03:37Rotten wood, rusty frames.
03:38Maybe if we put you back together.
03:39I'm coming apart.
03:40I'm coming apart.
03:41Maybe if we put you back together, you'll earn yourself a better name.
03:44And he did.
03:45Then there was trouble.
03:46Well, Oliver, so you don't know your own strength, is that it?
03:51No, no, sir, said Oliver nervously.
03:55The fat controller inspected Scruffy.
03:58How's her thought?
04:00Rotten wood, rusty frames.
04:02Maybe if we put you back together, you'll earn yourself a better name.
04:06Now a days, Oliver only takes the trucks when the other engines are busy.
04:16But they are always quick to warn each other.
04:19Take care with Mr. Oliver.
04:21If you play tricks on him, you'll never be the same truck again.
04:25Scruffy has learned his lesson and says nothing at all.
