male narrator:
Saving time.
Samson
is a very proud engine
who usually works
on the mainland
but sometimes
comes over to help
on the Island of Sodor.
Thomas was collecting some cars
from the shunting yard
when Samson arrived.
- Hello, Thomas.
Diesel.
Stanley.
- Hello, Samson.
- Hello.
- [grumbles]
- Been asked to help out
with a big order of stone
from the Blue Mountain Quarry.
Sir Topham Hatt wants it moved
quickly and efficiently.
Said I was the only engine
for the job.
- Nonsense.
[whistle toots]
[laughs]
You're not the only engine
for the job.
- And how would you know,
Thomas?
- Because I'm helping too!
[laughs]
- [snickers]
narrator: Samson followed
Thomas up to the quarry.
- Hello, Sir Handel!
Hello, Peter Sam!
- Hello, Samson.
- Hello.
[whistle toots]
- Hurry up, Samson,
or we're never
going to get this job done
quickly or efficiently!
[laughs]
narrator: Samson collected
some stone,
determined to show everyone
just how important he was.
- And what about those cars?
Going to the docks,
are they, Sir Handel?
- Yes, Samson.
But you'll have to
come back for them.
You can't pull
that many cars in one go.
- Yes, I can!
They don't call me
Samson for nothing!
Don't want to travel
back and forth
more times than I have to.
I'll take them now
and save time.
[whistle blows]
[groans]
[grunting]
- Are you sure you're
saving time there, Samson?
- [panting]
Once I get going,
you won't believe
how fast I can be!
[grunts]
- You're right. I won't.
[laughs]
- And neither will I, Samson!
Good luck!
[laughs]
[both laughing]
[Samson grunts]
narrator: Samson slowly managed
to build up some speed...
- [scoffing]
Nobody thinks
I can do anything!
That's why Sir Topham Hatt
asked me to--
[gasps]
Stop?
No!
[grunts]
[brakes screeching]
Oh!
So now I can go?
[whistle blows]
[grunts]
narrator: But it was when
Samson came to Gordon's Hill
that his troubles
really began.
- [gasp]
Need a good speed
to get over that one!
[train engine chugging]
[grunting and groaning]
[huffing and puffing]
Come on now, Samson!
Show that hill...
what you're made of!
[grunts]
[groans]
narrator: Samson backed up
to try again.
[whistle blows]
- Right.
Okay.
We can do this.
[steam hissing]
[metallic thudding]
[grunting]
Come on, Samson!
Don't let it best you.
[grunting]
[wails]
[sighs]
It's no use.
- [whistle toots]
narrator: Thomas had already
delivered his cars to the docks
and was on his way back
to the quarry again.
- Oh.
[laughs]
Having a nice rest,
are you, Samson?
- No!
Working very hard,
as it happens.
Haven't you seen
how many car I'm pulling?
- Um...
too many?
[laughs]
- Trying to save time, Thomas.
Need to get the job done!
Perhaps you'd like to
give me a push,
instead of making
silly comments.
narrator: Thomas crossed over
to the other track
so he could give Samson a push.
- Best back up
a little, Thomas.
Need to get up some speed.
- Okay.
Back away!
The track's clear.
[whistle toots]
[whistle blows]
[whistle blows]
- [gasps]
Stop, Samson!
Stop!
[screeching]
- [gasps]
[brakes screeching]
- [grunting]
[both sighing]
- Hello, Thomas!
Am I going the wrong way?
- No.
I am.
I'm helping Samson
take his cars over the hill.
He took too many.
- I did not!
- Oh!
Shall I help?
- Oh.
[chuckles]
Good idea!
[metal clangs, steam hisses]
Ready, Samson?
- Of course I am!
Always ready!
- One...
both: Two, three.
- Push!
[whistles blow]
[train engines chugging]
- [grunting]
That's it!
That's it!
That's it!
Oh, knew we could do it!
I knew it!
I knew it!
[laughs]
- Thanks, Paxton!
- [giggles]
My pleasure.
[metallic thudding]
- Whoa!
Thomas!
No!
Slow them down!
Slow them down!
[brakes squealing]
That's it, Thomas!
Tip top!
Everything's under control!
- Okay, Samson!
Can you stop, please?
I need to be uncoupled now.
- Oh, there's no time to stop,
Thomas!
Already late.
narrator: So Samson
pulled Thomas
all the way to Brendham Docks,
whether he liked it or not.
[whistle blows]
- Samson here, sir,
at your service!
Brought more stone from
the quarry, sir.
As requested!
- What are you playing at,
Samson?
This is the first delivery
you've made all morning!
- Uh, yes, sir.
That's correct, sir.
Unexpected delay,
sir.
Got stuck
on Gordon's Hill.
- Well, I'm not surprised.
You're pulling
far too many cars!
And what on earth
is Thomas doing
at the back of your train?
Ooh.
I might have known you'd
be involved too, Thomas!
- It's my fault
Thomas is here.
Thomas only helped me
over the hill.
Didn't want to stop
to have him uncoupled.
Trying to save time
and be efficient, sir.
- But you're not saving time,
Samson.
You're causing confusion
and delay!
narrator: By the time Samson
got back to the quarry,
Thomas was already loaded
and ready to go again.
- Uh, sorry, Thomas.
Didn't mean to get you
into trouble back there.
- That's all right, Samson.
It was you who
really got into trouble.
- My own fault.
Never mind.
Need to learn
from my mistakes.
- So I guess you won't be taking
so many cars next time?
[whistle toots]
- Certainly not, Thomas.
That would be silly.
- [laughs]
narrator: But as Thomas
was approaching
Gordon's Hill again...
[whistle blows]
Samson came racing from behind,
and this time he was
pulling only one car.
- [chuckling]
Samson!
You can take
more than that!
- I know, Thomas!
But it's much quicker
this way!
Saves time
in the long run!
- Oh.
[laughs]
narrator: But Thomas
knew Samson
wasn't really saving time.
He was just
being silly again.
