[The scene cuts to a large crowd gathered in front of Knapford Station]

Fred Lincoln Hello Sodor! Fred Lincoln here, coming to you live from in front of Knapford Station for years a train station for people to get on and/or off trains to get to places until today that is, that's right but today Sir Topham Hatt the railway director and his family are on vacation in Alaska and is leaving one of his engines: Gordon the Express Engine in charge of things and is today opening the new Knapford Station 2 Todya. [Crowd applauds} First of all congratulations Gordon

Gordon: Thanks Ya'll are too kind.

Fred Lincoln: What inspired you to build a second Knapford Station right next door to the original?

Gordon: I have no clue. [Everyone laughs]

[Diesel is watching the entire scenario out the window of the Diesel Works]

Diesel: Curses! It's not fair. Gordon is being interviewed by Fred Lincoln and I've never even had one customer! [Plankton groans and moans while sweating]

Rosella: Don't get worked up again, Diesel, I just mopped the floors. Plankton:

Splatter: That's very true Dies.

Dodge: Yeah I mean things couldn't go quite possibly-

[Diesel annoyed hits him on his side]

Splatter/Dodge: Shutting Up.

Diesel: Oh, Rosella, my second in command, if only I could have managed to steal the secret to Gordon's success, the Cheeseburger Formula. Then people would line up to eat at my restaurant. Lord knows I've tried. I've exhausted every evil plan in my filing cabinet...from A to Y.

Rosella: A to Y?

Diesel: Yeah, A to Y. You know, the alphabet.

Rosella: What about Z?

Diesel: Z?

Rosella: Uh yeah The letter after Y.

Diesel: [Searches through cabinet] W, X, Y, Z. Plan Z! Here it is, just like you said.

Rosella: Oh, boy.

Diesel: [Suggestively] Oh! Oh! Ohhh! It's evil. It's diabolical. [Sniffs it] It's lemon-scented. This Plan Z can't possibly fail! [Goes outside] So enjoy today, Gordon, because by tomorrow, I'll have the formula. Then everyone will eat at the Diesel-Works, and I will rule the world! All hail Diesel. All hail Diese...! [Thomas runs by and accidentally runs over him]

Thomas: I'm ready,promotion... I'm ready,promotion... Eww, I think I stepped in something. [Tries to scrape Diesel off]

Diesel: Not in something, on someone.

Thomas: Oh. Sorry, Diesel. [Pulls him off his wheel] Are you on your way to the grand-opening ceremony?

Diesel: Well not really no, I am not on my way over to the grand-opening ceremony. I'm busy planning to rule the world you see.

Thomas: Well, good luck with that. [Runs off] I'm ready. Promotion. I'm ready. Promotion.

Diesel: Very clever little engine.

[Later, Gordon is at a stand in front of Knapford Station 2. The crowd is still gathered there, seated]
