have you heard about Daisy?
She may have swerved

narrator:
Everywhere Diesel went,
engines were talking
about Daisy.
- Have you heard the news,
Diesel?
- [grumbles]
- About Daisy.
- Oh, why when
something bad happens
does everyone always think
it's my fault?
[whistle blares]
Ohh.
Just because I gave Daisy
a little bump,
everyone blames me.
Typical!
- Well, I don't know
about you, Dart,
but I'm glad
I don't have springs.
- Oh, what you mean is,
once your springs have sprung,
that's it.
Poor Daisy.
- Daisy?
Are you asleep, Daisy?
- [mumbles]
- Uh, I--
I'm sorry for shunting
into you the way I did, Daisy.
I really didn't mean
to cause you any trouble.
But so what if I did
give you a little bump?
Other engines
aren't nice to me,
so why should I be nice
to other engines?
And they blame me
for everything.
But I hope you can be fixed.
I wish I could do something
to make everything
all right again.
I like you.
Although after this,
I don't suppose
you'll ever want
to be my friend.
