00:30Hello, you know, all the ship's captains here in the big harbor are having a big picnic today.
00:35And I just love picnics.
00:37Of course, I'm not the captain of my own ship anymore.
00:39I'm the harbormaster.
00:41But I'm sure they'll let me come along.
00:43It's a little picnic, it's a little picnic baby.
00:46I wonder if the picnic is still going to happen.
00:53Hello, this is the harbormaster.
00:55I was wondering, are we still having the picnic?
01:00Oh, I see. Thank you.
01:05What's that?
01:07He said I can't come.
01:09Because I don't have my own ship.
01:12I don't think that's very fair.
01:14You?
01:15What do you think I should do?
01:17Maybe I should talk to the tugs.
01:20Oh yes!
01:21Oh, Emily would know what to do.
01:23Why?
01:24Let me tell you all about it.
01:29Théodore and George were finished work for the day.
01:31Now, they could do whatever they wanted.
01:34What do you want to do, George? asked Théodore.
01:37Tug of war! boomed George right away.
01:49George and Théodore tied their turbos together, and Bedford dinged his bell.
01:541, 2, 3, go!
02:04Bet you can't pull me past Bedford!
02:06Blasted George's powerful engine.
02:09Bet I can too!
02:10Théodore felt the roar of his engine.
02:19Théodore grunted and groaned.
02:21George boomed and groaned.
02:25Bedford dinged his bell again as George pulled Théodore past him.
02:30I won! I won! announced George.
02:34Théodore and George laughed at the two losers together.
02:37Tug of war was just about the most fun two friends could have.
02:42Hi, Emily! huffed Théodore out of breath.
02:45Can I try? asked Emily.
02:47No, you can't! said George.
02:49Why not? asked Emily.
02:51Because you're a girl, Tug! said George.
02:54Girl Tugs can't do tug of war.
02:57Well, when Emily heard this, her engine suddenly felt like it was boiling.
03:02She must have blown it off by another word.
03:07But Emily's our friend! said Théodore.
03:11Girl Tugs can't do tug of war! George said again.
03:14Théodore didn't see anything else but inside.
03:18What George had said just didn't feel right.
03:31The next morning, the Tugs all got their jobs for the day from the dispatcher.
03:35Emily said to the dispatcher,
03:37There's a container ship arriving this morning.
03:39It's going to be a long day.
03:41said the dispatcher.
03:42There's a container ship arriving this morning.
03:44I would like you to move her with George.
03:47Emily floated forward.
03:49Excuse me, sir, but could Théodore work with George instead?
03:56You see, Emily was still very upset with George for not letting her try tug of war.
04:01Well, said the dispatcher,
04:03The ship has a very big load today. It might be tough tugging.
04:07Now George floated forward.
04:08Ah, we can move that ship without Emily.
04:10He moved in his biggest voice.
04:15And then he frowned his anxiousness. That proved it.
04:27Very well, said the dispatcher.
04:29The next morning, the Tugs all got their jobs for the day from the dispatcher.
04:36The next morning, the Tugs all got their jobs for the day from the dispatcher.
04:43Constance was just heading out on a regular ocean patrol to make sure all the ships outside the harbor were safe.
04:50I see you're not working today, said Constance, chugging along.
04:54Oh, I just don't feel like it, came Emily.
04:58Sometimes it was hard for Emily to talk to Constance, because Constance always seemed so busy.
05:04Emily, said Constance in a softer voice,
05:08You're being very quiet. Is something the matter?
05:13I was supposed to work with George today, answered Emily,
05:16but now he thinks girl Tugs aren't as good as boy Tugs.
05:20That's nonsense, huffed Constance.
05:23I know that, replied Emily, but George doesn't.
05:27Just thinking about George made Emily angry.
05:30I'm never going to work with George again, she said.
05:34Never is a long time, said Constance. We all have to live together in the harbor.
05:39Well, said Emily, maybe if George said he was sorry.
05:44But Emily knew George would never say he was sorry.
05:47That just wasn't like George.
05:50Now, at just around the same time,
05:52George and Theodore were arriving at the harbor entrance to meet that big container ship,
05:56whose name was Catherine.
06:02Catherine did have a very big load, just like the dispatcher had said.
06:06In fact, Theodore had never seen such a stack of containers.
06:12They seemed to reach almost to the sky.
06:14Let's go, ordered George.
06:16OK, George. Answered Theodore.
06:30And then, he gave Catherine his best push.
06:36Oh!
06:38And then, he gave Catherine his best push.
06:44Let's go, repeated George.
06:47I am going, replied Theodore.
06:50But the ship isn't!
06:54I'm carrying a double load today, called Catherine, proudly.
06:59Theodore made his toughest tugging face, and with a big pull from George,
07:03the great ship slowly began to move.
07:06See?
07:07Ordered George.
07:08We don't need Emily!
07:15The two tugs puffed and pulled Catherine, the container ship, into the harbor.
07:19Soon, it was time to make the big turn around Willie's Island.
07:26Start turning!
07:27Ordered George.
07:31I'm not trying!
07:33Ordered Theodore.
07:37Theodore's ship was drifting straight into Willie's Island.
07:41George needed her to turn Catherine.
07:58The sharp turn, and the big ship rolled to one side,
08:01and the harbor container slid over on her deck.
08:07Theodore looked up.
08:09Up!
08:11It seemed like the mountain of containers had suddenly grown.
08:16We're floating crooked, George!
08:17Replied Theodore.
08:19With all those containers on one side of her,
08:21it was very hard for George to keep Catherine floating in a straight line.
08:26Hey!
08:27A big voice boomed.
08:28Watch out there!
08:29It must have been the oil rig.
08:32With a shudder, George saw that they were drifting straight towards the big rig.
08:37Stop!
08:38Theodore cried to George.
08:39Stop!
08:41George took a mighty breath,
08:42and tugged hard against his tow rope to try and stop the heavy ship.
08:47But, it was no use.
08:48In another moment, they would all go crashing right into the giant oil rig.
08:53We need help!
08:54Shouted Theodore.
08:56If I can't stop this ship, Lord George, no one can.
08:59George pulled against that ship until it felt like his tow rope was going to snap.
09:03But, it was still no use.
09:06I'm just not strong enough.
09:08Cried Theodore.
09:09For the first time he could ever remember,
09:11George the valiant was ready to give up.
09:20George blew his deepest whistle.
09:22It was a special tugboat call for help.
09:24That's George's whistle, said Emily.
09:28It's calling for help, said Constance.
09:31Emily knew what she had to do.
09:33And she didn't waste a meter or two.
09:38Stop!
09:39Turn back!
09:40Off the ship!
09:42I can't!
09:43Cried George.
09:44Someone help!
09:47Theodore took a mighty breath,
09:48and tugged hard against that ship.
09:50But, it was no use.
09:51George blew his deepest whistle.
09:54It's Emily's whistle, shouted Theodore.
09:58Emily, she spoke in her mouth and bent over the side.
10:07She turned.
10:08Turned straight into the padded platform of the container ship.
10:11Emily, thought of her bothers against her,
10:13and began to push.
10:15Push with all her might.
10:16Just seeing it,
10:17they seemed to make Theodore and George's tires disappear.
10:19They felt strong again.
10:21Together, George the valiant,
10:24Theodore tugged out,
10:26and Emily the vigorous,
10:28stopped Catherine in the container ship,
10:30right in front of the boat.
10:36Hooray!
10:37Tweeted Theodore.
10:38You did it, Emily!
10:39Called Catherine.
10:40Good job!
10:41Shouted George.
10:43The tugs took Catherine safely to her dock.
10:46Work was finished for the day,
10:47and now they could do whatever they wanted.
10:51What do you want to do, George?
10:52Ask Theodore.
10:53Tug of war!
10:54Said George, right away.
11:13Then, he turned and floated after him.
11:18Emily!
11:19He announced in his biggest voice.
11:21Do you want to do tug of war with us?
11:27I thought it was just for boy tugs.
11:29Replied Emily.
11:32Theodore knew George was having trouble saying the words he'd been thinking of,
11:35so he thought it over and gave him a gentle nudge.
11:43Emily!
11:44Said George, being quieter.
11:46I'm...
11:47I'm sorry I was mean to you before.
11:50It doesn't matter if you're a girl tugger or a boy tugger.
11:53You're my friend.
11:56You're my friend too, George.
11:58Smiled Emily.
12:00What are we waiting for?
12:01Shouted Theodore.
12:04One, two, three, go!
12:08Theodore and George and Emily laughed and tooted their whistles together.
12:14Tug of war was just about the most fun three friends could get.
12:22You know, Emily's story gets me thinking.
12:24I really wanted to go to that picnic,
12:26but since I can't go because I don't have my own ship,
12:28I can still make the picnic fun.
12:30Hello?
12:31Yes, this is the harbour master.
12:33I was going to say,
12:34Hello?
12:35Yes, this is the harbour master.
12:36I was going to bring some marshmallows over to the picnic,
12:39but since I can't come,
12:40is it alright if my friend Rodney brings them?
12:42I can come?
12:43Wonderful!
12:44Oh, great!
12:46Oh, thanks for visiting us here at the big harbour,
12:48and we'll see you all again next time.
12:50I love picnics!
