Transcript
Narrator: Dennis and Norman are diesel twins. They usually work together. But like all brothers, they sometimes fall out.

Dennis: Those trucks are mine!

Norman: No, they're mine! Your trucks are over.

Dennis: They're mine!

Norman: They're not!

Narrator: But even though Dennis and Norman sometimes fall out, they always get back together. One summer, two dinosaur skeletons had been discovered. The Earl agreed to have them on display at his dinosaur park. On the day after the dinosaur bones were discovered, Sir Topham Hatt arranged a meeting with some of his engine.

Sir Topham Hatt: The dinosaur skeletons are to be delivered at Ulfstead Castle tomorrow. I'll need one or two engines to take them. Do I have any volunteers?

Dennis: Norman and I can do it, sir. We usually work well as a team. We'll show you.

Narrator: Dennis shunted some trucks together without any problem. But Norman was too excited about the dinosaurs to pay attention.

(Norman crashes into a few trucks)

Sir Topham Hatt: Oh dear. I'm not sure if you two can do the job considering Norman's actions just now.

Dennis: But, sir, I can do it on my own. Please?

Sir Topham Hatt: I'll have to see, Dennis.

(Sir Topham Hatt leaves)

Norman: Dennis, I'm sorry I biffed the trucks, but I'm sure we can take the dinosaurs together.

Dennis: No! I'm going to show Sir Topham Hatt I can do it on my own by working hard alone all day. I'll show you, Clumsy Buffers!

Narrator: So Dennis worked hard all day by himself. He started to feel tired. His wheels ached, but he kept working.

Dennis: I must show Sir Topham Hatt that I can take the dinosaurs by myself.

Narrator: The next morning, Sir Topham Hatt came to see Dennis at the Dieselworks sheds.

Sir Topham Hatt: Dennis, I heard about how hard you worked yesterday. And I must say, I was very impressed. And so I've decided that you can take the dinosaur skeletons all by yourself.

Dennis: Oh, thank you, sir!

Sir Topham Hatt: And Norman, you will deliver supplies to the cafeteria at Knapford.

Norman: Yes, sir.

Narrator: Dennis was very excited. When he arrived at Tidmouth, he saw the trucks with the dinosaur bones in them.

Dennis: This is a very excited special.

Narrator: Dennis was coupled up to the trucks, and headed up the main line to Ulfstead Castle. As he passed through Crosby station, the passengers cheered. They couldn't wait to see the dinosaur skeletons set up at Ulfstead Castle. And the passengers at Wellsworth cheered as well. Dennis liked being cheered with a special delivery. But then, he came to Gordon's hill. As Dennis made his way to the top, he stopped.

Dennis: Oh no! I was so excited about the dinosaur skeletons that I forgot to take on more fuel.

Narrator: Dennis slid back down the hill. His guard went back to Wellsworth to get help. Meanwhile, Norman had finished delivering the supplies to the cafeteria at Knapford. As he approached Wellsworth, he saw Dennis' guard waving a red flag.

Dennis' Guard: Dennis ran out of diesel fuel on Gordon's hill. He needs help getting more, so he can take the dinosaur skeletons to Ulfstead Castle.

Norman: So he wants my help now? I still feel hurt about what he called me yesterday.

Dennis' Gaurd: But we can't leave the main line blocked.

Norman: You're right. I'll go help him.

(The guard boards Norman's cab, and Norman leaves Wellsworth and heads to Gordon's hill)

Norman: Dennis, it's Norman. I'm going to push you up the hill and to the nearest diesel fueling area.

Dennis: Norman, I'm sorry I called you 'clumsy buffers' yesterday. From now on, I would prefer to work with you than on my own.

Norman: That's great!

Narrator: So Norman pushed Dennis and his trucks up the hill. And when they arrived at a diesel fueling area, Dennis took on more fuel.

Dennis: We better hurry, so this delivery isn't late.

Narrator: So Dennis and Norman worked together, and got the dinosaur skeletons to the dinosaur park right on time. The workmen started to put the bones together. And they finished just as Millie arrived with some visitors.

Millie: And here are the newest additions to the dinosaur park; two actual dinosaur skeletons.

Visitors: Wow!

Narrator: Some of the visitors were photographers, who wanted to take pictures of the dinosaurs. Dennis and Norman each get their pictures taken with one of the dinosaurs. They both agreed that working with your brother is always better.
