06x19 - Buffer Bother

[bunniefuu]

(upbeat music)

- [Narrator] Bill and

Ben are quarry engines.

They are twins.

They play together.

They shove freight

cars together.

They even get up to

naughtiness together.

(trains colliding)

(train whistles blowing)

Wherever you find Bill,

you will find Ben.

Wherever you find Ben,

you will find Bill.

Sir Topham Hatt had come to

inspect his quarry engines.

He found that Mavis and Bill

were in fine working order.

"Unfortunately Ben,"

Sir Topham Hatt said,

"Your buffers are damaged.

"You must report to the

engine works immediately

"for a new set of buffers.

"Mavis, you will have to work

will Bill until Ben returns."

"Yes, Sir," replied Mavis.

And Sir Topham Hatt drove away.

Ben was happy.

"I'm going to get new

buffers," he gloated to Bill.

"Well, I should get new

buffers too," Bill complained.

"We're twins we do

everything together."

"But you don't need new

buffers," Ben teased.

"You're only getting new buffers

because you're so clumsy,"

snorted Bill enviously.

"No, I'm not."

"Yes, You are."

"No, I'm not."

"Yes, you are."

"Will you two stop being

crab pots?" Mavis scolded.

"Now come on, Bill,

we've got work to do."

(upbeat music)

Ben couldn't wait

to get new buffers.

Later, Bill watched

as Ben chuffed away

to the engine works.

He was green with envy.

He wanted new buffers too.

Bill returned to his job, but

he wasn't thinking about work.

All he could think about

was Ben's new buffers.

(train crashing)

"Oohoo," said Bill.

(Pipe banging)

(Bill sneezing)

"Be careful," said Mavis,

"and stop thinking about

Ben's new buffers."

Bill tried thinking about birds.

He tried thinking about trees.

He tried thinking about anything

but Ben and his

brand new buffers.

But it didn't work.

(upbeat orchestral music)

"I want new buffers

too," he cried.

"Just be happy you're in good

working order," said Mavis.

"It's not fair," Bill huffed,

and he wheeshed

soot all over Mavis.

"Bill," gasped Mavis.

"Ooops, sorry," said Bill.

Bill tried his best to

get on with his work,

but the troublesome trucks had

spotted a chance for a tease.

♪ Poor, poor Bill, he

works, he suffers ♪

♪ While Ben his twin

gets brand new buffers ♪

(trucks laughing)

"I might not have new

buffers," he said.

"But I still know how to

biff troublesome trucks."

"No," Mavis cried.

(trains crashing)

But it was too late.

Ben puffed into the quarry

with his shiny new buffers

just in time to hear,

"Bust my buffers," cried Bill.

"I think you have," said Ben.

When Sir Topham Hatt arrived

and saw Bill's broken buffers,

he was not happy.

"You've behaved badly,

Bill," Sir Topham Hatt said.

"Do you have anything

to say for yourself?"

"Yes, sir.

"I'm sorry sir," said Bill.

"Before you get new buffers,"

Sir Topham Hatt continued,

"I want you to think

about what it means

"to be a responsible,

reliable engine."

"Yes, sir," answered

Bill meekly.

After Sir Topham Hatt had left,

Ben rolled up to Bill with

his new buffers gleaming.

"They are nice

buffers," Bill said.

"Thanks," Ben said, "I'm

sorry I teased you."

"That's all right," Bill said.

"I was naughty too."

"Of course you were,"

said Ben, "we're twins."
