male narrator:

"Emily in the Middle."

[whistle blowing]

narrator: Donald and Douglas

were on their way

to Brendham Docks

to pick up a special shipment

of steel to take

to Vicarstown.

- Whoa, Dougie.

Look at all these flatbeds.

- Aye. I feel sorry

for the engine

that has to pull

that lot, Donnie. [laughs]

- Ahoy, shipmates.

Here's your train. [laughs]

- Whoa. That's too much, Salty.

Even for two engines.

- Away an' weesht!

We can pull that, no bother.

Come on, Dougie.

[whistles blows]

Let's show this old sea dog

what we can do.

- I'm not getting behind

that train, Donnie.

It's too much

for the two of us.

- Nonsense, Dougie.

We can manage

that wee train, no bother.

- We cannae! It's too heavy.

- Ah, we can, of course.

- Cannae!

- Can!

- Cannae!

- Can!

- Cannae!

[whistle blows]

- Hello, Emily.

[whistle toots]

What are you doing down here?

- I'm just on my way down

to help Donald and Douglas.

- [laughs] Good luck with that.

- What do you mean?

- They can't agree

with each other,

let alone another engine.

- Cannae!

- Can!

- Cannae!

- Can!

- [laughs] Oh, I'm sure

I'll be fine, Thomas.

- Well, then you'd better

hurry up.

Because they're

already arguing. [laughs]

- Come on, Dougie.

Get to the back of the train.

- [sighs]

You're blocking the line.

[whistle blows]

- Hello, everyone.

I hear this train

could use an extra engine.

- Aye, that's right.

[whistle blows]

Thanks, Emily.

Looks like me and the lassie

will have to do this

on our own.

- What? No. Wait a minute.

You're not taking this train

without me.

- Oh!

- Ready to go, Donnie.

[whistles blowing]

- [straining] Yah!

narrator: At last,

the heavy shipment

was on its way to Vicarstown.

About time.

And everything could go back

to normal

at the docks.

[upbeat acoustic music]

- You know,

thanks for helping, Emily.

- No trouble at all, Donald.

- Ack, no. I'm Douglas.

Donald's my brother.

He's the difficult one.

- [laughs]

- All right. What's so funny?

- He tried to make out

that it was me who pushed him.

I said, you pulled me,

more like.

He was proper salty all day.

- Really? [laughs]

- Aye, and I'll tell you

something else about my brother.

And that's when Donald reversed

into the signal box.

- [laughs]

[brakes squealing]

- Hey, Donnie, what's going on?

- I'm not going any further.

- You're what?

- I said,

I'm not going any further.

- You what?

- Oh, brother.

- Perhaps there's something

on the line.

[laughs] Like a hay cart.

- [laughs] Aye. Or a bull!

Donald.

- I want to swap places.

- What? Why?

- I can hear yous two

laughing away, ha ha ha.

It's no fair, me being stuck

out at the front on my own.

- Go on, Douglas.

- You take the front

of the train.

Please?

- All right.

But only because

you asked nicely, Emily.

- I said please.

- You didn't.

- Well, I was thinking it.

Ohh!

- Sorry, Toby.

Didn't see you there.

- Ho ho ho.

[whistles blowing]

Oh.

narrator: Donald

had stopped the train

right in the middle

of Suddery Junction.

And it was blocking the line.

- Oh, no! Ahh!

[brakes squealing]

[straining]

Ohh.

Get out of my way!

You're holding up the express!

- All right.

Cool your funnel, big man.

- Ohh, the indignity.

- So, Emily, what were

yous two talking about?

Not that I'm bothered.

- Oh, Douglas was telling me

some funny stories about--well--

[chuckles]

about both of you, actually.

- Well, I bet he didn't tell you

about the time

he broke down

and I had to rescue him.

- No! He didn't tell me

about that. [laughs]

[brakes squealing]

Ah, ah.

[whistle blows]

Now what's the hold up?

- Okay, Donnie,

that's enough.

We're swapping back.

- Come on, now.

This is getting silly.

- I'm not being silly.

Let's swap back.

[whistle blows]

- You've always got to

have your way.

[whistle blows]

- You've always got

to have your own way.

- Wait! No!

[metal creaking]

I don't think

this is a good idea.

Please, you two,

I can't hold the train.

- Don't run away from me

when I'm talking to you.

narrator: Douglas had

stopped the train halfway up

Gordon's Hill,

and poor Emily was left

holding all the heavy flatbeds

on her own.

- You never listen to me.

You always do what you want.

- Not true.

You never listen to me.

You always do

what you want.

- [gasps] Not true!

- It is.

- No, it isn't.

- Yes, it is.

narrator: And then

there was trouble.

For goodness sakes, you two!

I was trying to help you out!

If you would just

stop arguing for one minute,

you'd see it's me

that needs some help now.

- Ohh. What's happened here,

then?

- Ugh. Come on!

What's the hold up?

- Ohh, it's these silly engines

blocking the line, again.

How are you getting on

with Donald and Douglas?

- Fine now. But next time,

I know never

to come between two brothers

when they're arguing.

- [laughs]

- This never would have happened

if we'd have both

been at the back.

- Aye. We should've been

together at the back

in the first place.

- Agreed.

- Aye.

- That's that, then.

- Aye, that's that.

- That's what I said.
