00:00It was a beautiful autumn day on the island of Sodor. All the engines were working very hard.
00:11The Fat Controller came to Tidmouth Sheds. He had exciting news.
00:16Gordon is to take the new mayor of Sodor on a special tour of the island, he announced.
00:23Gordon was thrilled, but then he had a thought.
00:27Who will take the express, sir? he asked.
00:30The other engines were excited. Pulling the express was an important job.
00:37Everyone wanted to be chosen, but the Fat Controller chose Emily.
00:43When the Fat Controller left, Emily was very happy, but Gordon wasn't impressed.
00:50The express is the longest passenger train on the island, he sniffed.
00:55I always cross the island twice by tea time. You'll never do that.
01:00I've got big wheels and I'll do my best, said Emily.
01:04Big wheels don't make a big engine, boasted Gordon. Everyone knows I'm the best.
01:11Thomas thought Gordon was showing off.
01:14Twice before tea time, he puffed. That will be hard.
01:18But Emily wasn't listening to Thomas.
01:21I'm going to be as good as Gordon, she said eagerly.
01:24And she steamed away as fast as she could.
01:30Emily puffed into Knapford Station.
01:33She was looking forward to taking the express, but it was very, very heavy.
01:39Bust my buffers, she gasped as she slowly pulled out of the station.
01:44But she pulled away too soon and left the brake coach behind.
01:49Emily puffed with all her might. She was determined to be fast.
01:59Emily crossed the island once in good time.
02:04I am as good as Gordon, she puffed proudly.
02:09Emily had to wait for Edward at the crossing.
02:13Edward went as fast as he could, but it wasn't fast enough for Emily.
02:18Hurry up, slow coach, she cried, or you will make me late.
02:23Edward felt sad, but Emily just steamed on.
02:28Emily stopped in Maithwaite Station.
02:31The express was a guaranteed connection with Bertie the Bus, but Bertie hadn't arrived.
02:37He'd had a flat tyre and was running late.
02:41Emily tried to wait.
02:43She counted to ten, twice.
02:46But she felt as if her time was running out.
02:49She had to wait for Edward.
02:52Emily tried to wait.
02:54She counted to ten, twice.
02:57But she felt as if her boiler would burst.
03:00I'm going to be the slowest engine on Sodor, she cried, and it's not my fault.
03:05And she puffed away.
03:10When Bertie arrived, Emily had already left.
03:17Emily needed to take on water.
03:20But James was at the water tower.
03:22He was pulling the slow goods train.
03:26Emily wanted to go first.
03:29It doesn't matter if you are late, she said.
03:32You must wait your turn, said James Crossley.
03:36Express trains don't wait, said Emily.
03:40And she left without taking on water.
03:45Emily went faster than ever.
03:48Her carriages rocked and rolled.
03:51And her passengers were biffed and bumped and bounced.
04:05Finally, Emily could see Brendan Docks up ahead.
04:09Twice before tea time, she puffed happily.
04:12I am as good as Gordon.
04:16Then there was trouble.
04:18Emily slowed down.
04:20What's happening to me, she cried.
04:23She went slower and slower.
04:27Emily had run out of water.
04:30She huffed and puffed, but she had no steam left.
04:36Finally, Emily came to a complete stop.
04:46The Fat Controller arrived on board James.
04:49He was very cross.
04:51You should have waited, said the Fat Controller.
04:54And now you have caused confusion and delay.
04:58You left the brake coach, stranded Bertie's passengers and bumped your carriages.
05:04You must learn to be more patient.
05:07Emily knew the Fat Controller was right.
05:09She felt very bad.
05:11She was only trying to be as good as Gordon.
05:14I'm sorry, sir, she said sadly.
05:21James pulled Emily into the docks.
05:28Then he went back to collect the express.
05:33Now I need an engine to take the slow goods train, said the Fat Controller.
05:38Emily had an idea.
05:40May I take it, sir, she said.
05:42If I promise to go slowly?
05:44The Fat Controller thought it was a grand idea.
05:47The slow goods train needs lots of patience, he said.
05:52Emily was pleased.
05:54She was determined to do a good job.
06:02So after she took on water...
06:07...and lots of coal...
06:09...Emily buffered up to the slow goods train.
06:22She stopped at all the right stations...
06:32...and she let all the other engines go first.
06:40She stopped at a signal.
06:42Thomas was waiting there.
06:47I am learning patience, Emily puffed.
06:50But if only I could learn it faster, she cried.
06:53Thomas had to laugh.
