Transcript
Narrator: Henry's brakes hadn't been working well. So James was helping him to the steamworks so that they can be repaired.

Henry: Who will do my work while I'm being repaired?

James: I don't know, Henry, but I think Sir Topham Hatt is going to see if an engine from the Other Railway can help out while you're at the steamworks.

Narrator: After James took Henry to the steamworks, he puffed back to Knapford. Sir Topham Hatt was just about to speak to Gordon and Thomas.

Sir Topham Hatt: Ah, James, you're just in time. I was just about to tell Thomas and Gordon that while Henry is being repaired, Carter from the Other Railway will help out here.

James: Carter? As in that Class 40 diesel that visited us once?

Gordon: And the one that sucked that inspector's bowler hat?

Sir Topham Hatt: The very same. I'm afraid he was the only engine the Other Railway could spare.

Thomas: But he was rude to us the last time he visited Sodor.

Sir Topham Hatt: Well, I'm sure he's learned a thing or two about being a really useful and kind engine. Just try to be nice to him, please. He'll be arriving here tomorrow.

Narrator: That night, at Tidmouth Sheds, Thomas, Gordon and James told the other engines about what Sir Topham Hatt said about Carter coming back.

Emily: I don't think I've ever met this Carter before.

Percy: You're lucky, Emily. He came to Sodor during one of Stepney's visits, and told us that we should be scrap.

James: The sooner Henry's repaired, the better. That Carter is as bad as other diesels on our railway, like Diesel, Arry, Bert and Diesel 10.

Thomas: Sir Topham Hatt did say that Carter might have learned a bit about being a really useful and kind engine. I guess we'll just have to wait and see if he's right.

Narrator: The next morning, Thomas and his friends were woken up by a loud horn.

Gordon: Oh! (Yawns) Who's that honking?

Carter: It's Carter. That's who! Hello, lazy steamers.

James: That's not very nice!

Carter: Really? I'm just so annoyed about having to come back to Sodor.

Percy: Why?

Carter: Because everyone back on the Other Railway laughed at me when they heard about my incident with that bowler hat. I had never been so embarrassed before. And when I heard I had to return to fill in for your friend, Henry, I was very annoyed indeed. Now I have to work with you steamers again.

Thomas: But haven't you learned anything about being a really useful and kind engine?

Carter: Me learn about being kind to steamers? Ha! I still think Sir Topham Hatt should scrap all of you and get engines like me. Like I said before, your crews have to fuss around you for hours before you're ready.

Narrator: Before any of the engines could reply, Carter rolled away. Carter was starting to become ruder than ever to the steam engines. Later that morning, he met up with Thomas and Percy.

Carter: Oh, Thomas and Percy, you two are just too small to be useful. I can pull trains that are heavier than what you two can pull.

Thomas: We can be just as useful as you, Carter.

Percy: Yeah, and we're not afraid to show how strong we really are.

Carter: Oh really?

Narrator: Then, Carter met up with Emily at Elsbridge Station.

Carter: Old engine, you're so old and out of date that you should be in a museum.

Emily: My name is Emily, and I maybe old, but I'm still a hard worker and really useful engine!

Carter: Pah!

(Carter leaves)

Emily: James was right. Carter is as bad as most rude diesels.

Narrator: Later that afternoon, Carter met up with James at Maron Station.

Carter: Your red paint is too bright, James. You should either stay dirty all the time or get a new color.

James: I'm very proud of my red paintwork, Carter! I may have not always been painted red, but I think it's a great color, and my driver once told me that everyone says I brighten up their day.

Carter: Oh, rubbish!

Narrator: The other engines were furious about Carter's rude comments to them.

Thomas: He told me and Percy that we were too little to be useful.

James: He told me that my red paint is too bright.

Gordon: He really is disgraceful!

James: And disgusting!

Emily: And despicable!

(Carter honks his horns)

Thomas: Here he comes.

Carter: Hello again. I just completed my jobs for the day, and I'm very proud of myself. I wouldn't be surprised if Sir Topham Hatt was impressed by my hard work and decided to get rid of you all and bring in more diesels.

Den: How dare you!

Narrator: Den and Dart had been nearby, and they had heard all about Carter from the other engines.

Dart: What he means is we're cross about you being rude to the steam engines.

Carter: You diesels are actually standing up to me?

Den: Yes, and if we may say something, we used to be just like you.

Dart: What he means is we used to not like steam engines either. But then we learned that being rude to them doesn't get the work done.

Den: Exactly!

Carter: What are you two saying?

Den: We're saying that if you don't work well with the steam engines here, your work may not get done.

Dart: Sometimes you need to put differences aside to be a really useful engine.

Carter: Nonsense! I know how to get my work done.

Narrator: But Carter rolled away, he couldn't help thinking about what Den and Dart had just told him.
