Line 141:
Line 141:
*Percy: Oh sir, yes sir, please sir.
*Percy: Oh sir, yes sir, please sir.
*George Carlin: Answered Percy. Edward and Thomas worked the main line greeting each other as they pass by. Percy puffed along the branch line. Thomas was anxious about Annie and Clarabel, but both driver and conductor promise to take care of them. They were fewer trains but the passengers didn't mind. They knew the three other engines were having a lesson. Gordon, James and Henry were cold, lonely and miserable. They wish now they haven't been so silly.

*(Another puffing by sequence happens and we begin Edward The Really Useful Engine)
+
*Alec Baldwin: The engines on the Island of Sodor are good at different things. Gordon is a very good express, Percy is good at carrying the mail and when Edward is not hauling freight cars, he is very good at being a back engine. When engines have heavy loads, Edward buffers up behind and helps push. But Edward is old. Some engines think this makes him unreliable.
+
*Gordon: Edward is a useless old steam-pot.
+
*Alec Baldwin: Gordon sniffed.
+
*Gordon: He should be retired.
+
*Percy: But he doesn't have tires.
+
*Alec Baldwin: Percy said.
+
*Thomas: Retired.
+
*Alec Baldwin: Said Thomas.
+
*Thomas: Means taken out of service.
+
*Gordon: And not a moment too soon.
+
*Alec Baldwin: Said Gordon. And the other big engines agreed with him, but Percy was very upset. Later, his driver asked him why he looked so glum. Percy told him about Edward.
+
*Percy: The big engines don't think he's useful anymore.
+
*Alec Baldwin: He said. Percy's driver saw Sir Topham Hatt and told him what Percy had said.
+
*Sir Topham Hatt: I will attend to the matter immediately.
+
*Alec Baldwin: Said Sir Topham Hatt. Sir Topham Hatt had a plan.
+
*Sir Topham Hatt: The new loop line is completed.
+
*Alec Baldwin: He said to Edward.
+
*Sir Topham Hatt: I want you to teach Stepney how to run it properly.
+
*Edward: But sir.
+
*Alec Baldwin: He asked.
+
*Edward: Who will look after the freight cars?
+
*Sir Topham Hatt: Duck will do your work.
+
*Alec Baldwin: Sir Topham Hatt replied. When the other engines heard Duck was going to help them, they were pleased.
+
*Henry: Duck is very reliable.
+
*Alec Baldwin: Said Henry.
+
*Gordon: It makes no difference to me.
+
*Alec Baldwin: Said Gordon pompously.
+
*Gordon: I don't need a back engine.
+
*Alec Baldwin: And he wheeshed away. Edward enjoyed working with Stepney. It was great fun delivering passengers to stations in the beautiful countryside. But Duck was not happy. The trucks were playing their silly games.
+
*Troublesome Trucks: (singing) Duck should play with other ducks cause he's no good at pulling trucks. Quack, quack, quack, quack. Hold back, hold back.
+
*Alec Baldwin: They giggled. Duck found himself going slower, and slower, and slower. Halfway up Gordon's Hill, his wheels stopped all together. Duck was stuck.
+
*Duck's Driver: Oh, no.
+
*Alec Baldwin: Said his driver.
+
*Duck's Driver: This is Gordon's line.
+
*Alec Baldwin: Duck's guard phoned the signalman to warn him.
+
*Signalman: It's too late to switch Gordon to the middle line.
+
*Alec Baldwin: Said the signalman.
+
*Signalman: You'll have to flag him down.
+
*Alec Baldwin: Gordon saw the guard.
+
*Gordon: If i stop on this hill, i'll never get started again.
+
*Alec Baldwin: He said crossly and he buffered up to Duck. Gordon tried to set off again, but his wheels spun and spun.
+
*Gordon's Driver: It's no use. We need a back engine.
+
*Alec Baldwin: Said the driver.
+
*Gordon's Driver: I'll send for Edward.
+
*Alec Baldwin: Gordon was cross. Edward was excited. He was going to be a back engine for two trains. Edward cheerfully buffered up and the strange train set off. They chuffed gently into the station.
+
*Boy: Look at that!
+
*Alec Baldwin: Laughed a boy.
+
*Boy: The back engine must be the strongest and the best.
+
*Alec Baldwin: Gordon was embarrassed. Sir Topham Hatt spoke severly to Gordon.
+
*Sir Topham Hatt: You have set rude things about Edward. He proved today that he is useful reliable and very helpful.
+
*Alec Baldwin: Gordon felt very ashamed. The next morning, Gordon apologized.
+
*Gordon: Thank you for helping me Edward.
+
*Alec Baldwin: Puffed Gordon.
+
*Gordon: You really are a useful engine.
+
*Edward: It's good to be back.
+
*Alec Baldwin: Edward chuffed happily. Sir Topham Hatt's plan had worked. There was no more talk about Edward retiring.
