[male narrator] "The Little Engine Who Raced Ahead."
One day, Thomas was in the yard at Knapford Station
when something unusual caught his eye.
Huh?
That'’s strange.
[whistle toots]
Did you see something yellow rushing around, Percy?
Something yellow?
Like a banana? [laughs]
A banana? [laughs]
And no, Thomas, I didn'’t.
Oh!
Hello, there!
My name'’s Philip.
I'’m a diesel box cab.
Hello, Philip.
I'’m Thomas, and my friend is called Percy.
I'’ve come to work on Sir Topham Hatt'’s railway.
With us?
Um, I don'’t know, maybe.
I'’m supposed to shunt cars, but I'’m not sure which ones.
Oh, maybe those back there.
[both laughing]
[whistle toots]
Who was that?
[both] That was Philip.
[both laughing]
[narrator] Philip was Sir Topham Hatt'’s new engine.
And he was very eager to make a good impression.
[grunts]
Hello, big engine.
I'’m Philip.
Can I get you some cars to pull?
Cars?
Ha, I don'’t think so!
Well, I'’m only trying to be helpful.
If you want to be helpful, then I suggest
you do your best not to get in my way.
[Philip] Don'’t worry.
Oh!
I won'’t.
You be sure that you don'’t.
I pull the express, and I travel very fast.
I'’m very fast, too!
Hey! [horn honks]
Just you watch how fast I can take those cars
to the other end of the yard.
[groans]
[Philip] This is gonna be brilliant!
See? See?
You see how fast I am, huh?
You see how fast I... I am.
Oh.
Where did that big engine go?
He was supposed to be watching me.
Big engine?
Oh, you mean Gordon.
He'’s about to pull the express.
[whistle blows]
Hey, wait!
Wait!
Express coming through!
Hey! Wait!
Wait!
You were supposed to be watching me.
[whistle toots]
Philip, stop!
Your signal is red!
[whistle blowing]
Whoa, Philip.
That was close.
Ha, I know.
I could have caught up with him
if it wasn'’t for that signal.
Gordon'’s very fast, Philip.
And I'’m very fast, too.
[laughs]
Well, Gordon will be back again later
if you really want to show him how fast you are.
[narrator] Philip couldn'’t wait for Gordon to come back.
He kept coming into the station to check the time
on the big clock.
[whistle toots]
[Gordon] Express coming through!
Oh, it'’s him!
[narrator] Philip was so excited to see Gordon
that he rushed straight out into Knapford Junction
without thinking.
Hello, big engine!
Hello!
[whistle blowing]
Uh-oh.
[whimpers]
No, no, no, no!
Oh!
[wheels screeching]
[Gordon grunting]
[sighs]
[groans] Philip!
What did I tell you about getting in the way?
You nearly caused a terrible accident.
Sorry, big engine... I mean, Gordon.
But why didn'’t you watch me?
You went away when I was trying to show you how fast I can--
[Sir Topham Hatt] Philip!
Now, Philip, I know you'’re new here.
But if you want to work on my railway,
you must learn to work safely and obey all the rules.
[chuckles] I couldn'’t have put it better myself, sir.
Mm.
I'’m sorry, sir.
I didn'’t mean to cause any trouble.
I'’ll be careful from now on. I promise.
[horn honks]
Hmm.
[groans]
[narrator] But the little diesel box cab was still determined
to show Gordon how fast he could go.
[horn honks]
Hello, big engine!
I mean, Gordon.
Let'’s have a race!
[groans] I'’m having a rest, Philip,
so please go away.
Oh, come on!
Let'’s have a race.
On your marks. Get set...
Go!
[horn honks] Whoo-hoo!
Away.
[narrator] Gordon wanted Philip to go away.
But Philip thought it was the start of their race.
[groans]
Ha-ha!
Look how fast I am.
You can'’t catch me!
[whistle toots]
Uh-oh.
Oh, it'’s you.
Where are you off to?
I'’m having a race.
Really?
Who are you racing?
Gordon.
Didn'’t you see him back there?
No, I didn'’t.
Ha-ha! That means I'’m winning.
Yes! Ha-ha!
[panting]
[elephant trumpets]
Oh, thank you.
[whistle toots]
Oh, you'’re not Gordon.
No, I'’m Emily.
But who are you?
I'’m Philip, and I'’m having a race.
Okay...
[narrator] Philip raced all the way to Brendham Docks.
And he didn'’t see Gordon at all.
I'’m the winner!
Hurray!
[all laughing]
-All right! -Hurray!
[all laughing]
[narrator] That night, Philip followed his new friends
back to Tidmouth Sheds.
I got all the way to Brendham Docks,
and he didn'’t even catch up.
So I was the winner!
Ask Emily if you don'’t believe me.
[all laughing]
Better luck next time, Gordon!
I wasn'’t actually racing.
[all laughing]
I told you I was fast.
Shouldn'’t you be in another shed with the diesels?
Oh, but I want to stay with my new friends.
[Percy] Philip?
It'’s okay. I can sleep in the back.
You won'’t even know that I'’m here.
[all giggling quietly]
Tomorrow, little Philip, I shall take the opportunity
to show you just how fast I really am.
Okay, Gordon.
I mean, we can have another race if you want to.
But don'’t forget, I still b*at you the first time!
[chuckles]
[all giggling quietly]
[groaning] Oh, the indignity.
