    [Diesel and Mavis get refueled and Diesel starts to rev his engine]

    [Elizabeth returns to try clearing the track, and Emily crossly blows her whistle again, Thomas arrives]
    Thomas: Hello.
    Emily: She won't do a thing I tell her.
    Thomas: That's because you're a "big bossy boiler". You should try asking nicely for a change.
    Emily: [takes a deep breath] I'm sorry I was rude, but can you help me get this timber to Farmer McColl's? Please? It's to help the baby calves.
    Elizabeth: Why certainly! I'll get your track cleared in no time!
