## English

All of the Stout Director's engines love teasing each other, from time to time. One of the biggest targets is Eddie; especially after that mishap involving a sinkhole. Nobody loves teasing him more than Gregory!

Gregory: Eddie, I can't wrap my funnel around how you got trapped in a hole. I just can't understand the 'hole thing!

[nervous laughter from the others]

Eddie: You can't wrap your funnel around, because it's the smallest one I've ever seen!

[laughter erupts]

Rob: Oh, you got him good!

Red Ted: THAT was the most radical roast I have ever heard!

Gregory: Well... you are small! You can't pull heavy trains like I can! I pull the Express Train the best! You will see me pull the Express Train flawlessly today! Goodbye, Eddie! See you licked this afternoon...

Later that day, Eddie was shunting trucks for the other engines, when he saw Gregory passing by with a hospital train.

Eddie: You call that an Express train? Looks more like a goods train to me.

Gregory: Ooh! Put a sock in it... [mutters] you little twat.

Eddie: [chuckles] Stay a-mad, you big sausage.

There is a giant hill on the Main Line, that many engines get stuck on. The rails were slippery today, and Gregory's train was heavier than his usual passenger trains. As Gregory climbed up the hill, he began to move slower, and slower, and slower. Eventually he stopped moving altogether. His wheels were slipping rapidly, as he tried to climb further, but his train was too heavy and he couldn't go any further.

Driver: Gregory, why have we stopped?

Gregory: I'm stuck!

Driver: Okay? And? We've got to take this medical train to the Hospital soon. And we're blocking the line, and not even trying.

Gregory: This train is too heavy, and the rails are too slippery!

Driver: Ugh. I'll go phone for help.

Meanwhile Eddie was shunting trains; just then a worker came up to him.

Worker: Gregory has stopped on the hill at Kitford. You're the only engine available, so you must do your best.

Eddie: I'll try.

Soon Eddie found Gregory halfway up the hill, and very annoyed.

Gregory: [begrudgingly] Oh look, it's Eddie. I don't think he can help at all - he's just extra weight!

Driver: Look, at least he's trying to help; let him have a chance. We'll have to back down to the bottom of the hill, so Eddie can couple up.

Gregory backed down the hill up, and Eddie coupled up.

Eddie: I'm ready.

Gregory: Humph!

Then, they began to work their way up the hill.

Gregory: Why couldn't they have brought a stronger engine to help?

Eddie: Shut your pie-hole, Gregory!

After a great deal of pushing and pulling, Gregory finally made it up to top of the hill.

Gregory: I did it!

Eddie: Wait for me!

Gregory forgot all about Eddie, and didn't say thank you. He was too focused on getting over that hill. Eddie was left far behind and felt very tired. He stopped in a siding at the next station. His driver and fireman were happy with him.

Clarence: Great work old boy!

Sanders: You did splendidly! How about a good rest; won't that be nice?

Eddie: Yes please! Wait, before you go?

Clarence: What's wrong?

Eddie: Gregory forgot to thank me.

Clarence: Oh I'm sure he will soon. If he doesn't, the next time you meet him, remind him to.

Eddie: Okay, I will.

Later that day, Gregory puffed back to the sheds, Eddie was there waiting for him.

Eddie: So Gregory, have anything to say?

Gregory: Um... oh! You look like-

Eddie: No! I don't mean insults.

Gregory: Hmm... oh yeah... thank you, Eddie, for helping me today. I'm sorry for teasing you so much.

Eddie: So that means no more insults?

Gregory: I...can't guarantee that, but I promise I won't do it as much anymore.

Eddie: Good! You did well today. I'm sure the doctors are grateful for the supplies given to them. You probably saved lives as a result.

Gregory: Oh I couldn't have done it without you, old friend. Goodnight Eddie.

Eddie: Sweet dreams, Gregory. Don't let the shed bugs bite.

Gregory: Wait, what?!

Eddie: Don't worry; that stuff isn't real.

[Cut to next day]

Tom: Hey Gregory, did you hear? Some big blue buffoon got stuck on that hill before Kitford! He didn't even try! He just gave up halfway through! He had to get help from "little old weak" Eddie!

Gregory pretended not to hear.

Tom: [beat] I've got to shunt Harrison's train now! See you later Gregory, oh, and watch out for that hill!

Gregory didn't respond. He just sat there, gnashing his teeth!
