[laughing]

Whoo-hoo!

[engine chugging slows]

It's great fun working

with your friends.

And I've made some great

friends in Italy.

But sometimes even the best of

friends can upset each other.

[whistle toots]

All aboard for a big adventure.

"Lorenzo's Solo."

[Thomas' whistle toots]

Ciao,

Beppe.

Have you heard what Gina

has been asked--

Thomas, Beppe,

have you heard?

The legendary Dame Bella Canto,

the greatest singer

in the world,

is singing at the

musical festival!

Dame Bella and her orchestra

need to be brought

to the theater,

and if there's a job

I was made to do, it's this.

♪ Laaaaa ♪

Lorenzo, wait!

Gina has already been asked

to pick up Dame Bella

and her orchestra.

-What?

-Sorry.

Gina? Oh!

How I was looking forward to

singing along with Dame Bella.

You've still got

the little old me.

I'll sing with you anytime.

But it would be such

a big honor

to carry such a big star.

[gasps]

[brakes squealing]

[grunts]

I know why they

didn't choose me.

-It's because of you.

-Me?

Yes. It's always,

"Lorenzo and Beppe this.

Lorenzo and Beppe that."

If they saw me as just Lorenzo,

I'd have been picked.

But I can't deliver

such a big star

in such a small coach

like you.

I don't think that's fair.

I may be small,

but I work hard.

[gasps]

Oh, Beppe, we shouldn't

be arguing like this.

You're right.

I'm sure Dame Bella would love

-to travel in you.

-Really?

Who am I to get in the way?

You go with Gina, yes.

I'll suggest it.

[clears throat]

Don't drop them.

Out of the way. I need

this shade all to myself.

I am the solo singer,

after all.

And there's only room

for one in a solo.

[whistle toots]

At last.

Welcome, Dame Bella.

-It's a pleasure to...

-[loud whistle toots]

[gasps]

Oh!

I won't be traveling

in this little thing.

I'll be traveling in that.

Who? Me?

You tricked me.

It's not my fault

Dame Bella chose me.

Besides, it might be good

to do things separately,

ah, for a change.

[clears throat]

I am the soloist,

so I do things alone.

You can ride

in the other one.

Looks like Lorenzo

isn't the only one

who thinks they're

better than everyone else.

♪ La la la, la la la ♪♪ La la la la la ♪♪ La la la, la la la ♪♪ Fa la la la la ♪

Do we have to follow

that noisy lot?

-Surely there's another way.

-Hmm.

I suppose we could try taking

the scenic route.

After all, all tracks

lead to Rome.

[Dame Bella]

This is more like it.

Yes, one legend

delivering another.

Just like singing together

in perfect harmony.

Ah.

[singing in Italian]

[applause]

Oh!

[sniffing]

Ugh.

Where are we?

This doesn't look

very scenic.

I, uh... Don't worry,

this is just the first act.

The, uh, scenery comes later.

[whistle toots]

She's here!

Hey, where is Dame Bella?

Ah, where's Lorenzo?

He almost always gets lost.

He may think he's better

by himself,

but I know he needs me.

Oh, Beppe, he doesn't know

how lucky he is to have you.

[whistle toots]

Let's go and find him.

Ah! Oh! Ah!

♪ Oh, we are lo-lo-lost ♪-♪ Lo-lo-lost ♪

-[clears throat]

I'm the soloist.

I sing alone.

But it's better

to sing together.

That's what Beppe and I do.

[Beppe]

♪ Here I am ♪

Oh, my Beppe.

I'm so sorry.

I should have never

have left you.

And I'm sorry I chose

this coach over such a sweet,

ornate, little thing

like you, Beppe.

[opera music]

Well, then, no more solo

performances from me.

It's only going to be

Lorenzo and Beppe from now on.

Mm. How about

Beppe and Lorenzo?

Ah... no.

[laughing]

[opera music]

[whistle toots]

Sometimes we can forget

how important our friends are.

Once, Diesel was unkindand left Paxton derailed.But when Diesel cameoff the rails,it made him think abouthow sad it would benot to have any friends.Lorenzo decided to takea bigger coachso he could pull the famousopera singer Dame Bella.But he soonlearned he was lostwithout hisgood friend Beppe.

Friends are important.

A good friend will be there to

help you when you need support.

So it's really important to be

kind to your friends.

-And remember they're special.

-[whistle blows]

Come on, Thomas!

It's time to go.

See ya next time!
