Transcript

 * Alec Baldwin: Sir Topham Hatt's engines love their work. Gordon likes pulling the express, Thomas likes his branch line and Percy likes taking the mail. But none of them likes being a middle engine. It's no fun being stuck in a middle. One morning, Percy was cheerfully collecting coal cars in the smelter's yards, where 'Arry and Bert worked. They like to play tricks on steam engines. Percy didn't want to fall for their tricks again. But before he knew it, he was stuck in the middle.
 * Percy: Oh, Bother!
 * Alec Baldwin: Huffed Percy crossly.
 * 'Arry: Little green piggy in the middle!
 * Alec Baldwin: 'Arry teased. Percy's driver was cross. With coal cars in front and coal cars behind, Percy had to go slower. James was in the yards when Percy was steamed slowly by.
 * James: Ha, ha! It's Pokey Percy!
 * Alec Baldwin: James laughed.
 * Percy: You wouldn't be laughing if you were stuck in the middle.
 * Alec Baldwin: Percy fumed. And he fumed all the way to the coaling plant. One by one, he shunted the coal cars onto the tipper's loading ramp and the coal was unloaded. Percy was not allowed to cross the loading ramp until the tipper had been turned off. It was against the rules. But as soon as his driver and fireman left, there was trouble. Henry arrived to pick up coal. He bumped into the coal cars and the coal cars bumped into Percy. Percy was pushed onto the loading ramp.
 * Percy: Help!
 * Alec Baldwin: Cried Percy. Percy was hoist it up, tipped over and brought back down again. After Percy was load back down to the ground, the manager was very cross.
 * Manager: You have caused confusion and delay!
 * Alec Baldwin: He said.
 * Manager: I'll have to report this to Sir Topham Hatt.
 * Alec Baldwin: That night, Sir Topham Hatt spoke severely to Percy.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: I'm very disappointed you, Percy.
 * Alec Baldwin: He said.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: You know it's against the rules to go on to the tipper's loading ramp.
 * Percy: Sorry, sir.
 * Alec Baldwin: Percy said sadly.
 * Percy: But it wasn't my fault. It's because those diesels made me a middle engine.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Never the less, you will shunt freight cars in the yard until I can get to the bottom of this.
 * James: Pah!
 * Alec Baldwin: Said James, thinking that he can hear.
 * James: I can handle those diesels with bent buffers and a busted boiler!
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Then you will do Percy's run in the smelter.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Sir Topham Hatt.
 * James: Yes sir.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said James. The next day, James arrived at the smelter. He was determined to be tricked by 'Arry and Bert.
 * 'Arry: Hello, James.
 * Alec Baldwin: Oosed 'Arry.
 * 'Arry: Come to learn a thing or two from those who know?
 * James: Just get my freight cars ready and stay out of my way.
 * Alec Baldwin: Huffed James importantly.
 * Bert: Yes, sir.
 * Alec Baldwin: Bert chimed gricely. James cheerfully backed up to his freight cars. He was certain he had fooled 'Arry and Bert but he was wrong.
 * 'Arry: Little red piggy in the middle!
 * Alec Baldwin: Chortled 'Arry
 * Bert: Just like Percy!
 * Alec Baldwin: Jeered Bert.
 * James: I am not like Percy.
 * Alec Baldwin: Puffed James.
 * James: I am not a middle engine and I am not moving.
 * Alec Baldwin: And he didn't. When Sir Topham Hatt heard the news he sent Percy to fetch James. This made Percy happy. He buffered up to James and took him along with all the freight cars to the docks.
 * Manager: Right on time.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said the manager.
 * Manager: But what does that big red engine doing in the middle?
 * Percy: Learning.
 * Alec Baldwin: Percy replied.
 * Manager: Learning what?
 * Percy: Learning to be a middle engine.
 * Alec Baldwin: Percy laughed. James covered himself in steam hoping no one would recognize him, but it was good. It was only big red engine on the island and everyone knows his name is James!
