- Alec Baldwin: Bill and Ben are the most mischievous engines working on Sir Topham Hatt's railway. They're kept busy pushing and pulling cars up and down the line that runs from the china clay works to the harbour yard. They like to have fun together and often play tricks on the workmen. But sometimes, their teasing ways can get them into trouble. One morning, Sir Topham Hatt came to see them.
- Sir Topham Hatt: Important goods have arrived in the big yard.
- Alec Baldwin: He said.
- Sir Topham Hatt: Bill and Ben, i need you to help the other engines.
- Bill and Ben: Oh, yes, of course, sir.
- Alec Baldwin: Replied the twins. They set off happily on their important mission. BoCo was resting in the yard when suddenly he heard a pair of familiar whistles.
- BoCo: Hmm.
- Alec Baldwin: Sighed BoCo.
- BoCo: Here comes trouble.
- Bill: Sir Topham Hatt told us you were tired.
- Alec Baldwin: Teased Bill.
- Bill: He asked us to take all your cars for you.
- BoCo: You two never stopped do you? But I'm wise to your pranks and we do need help here.
- Alec Baldwin: The twins were soon busy pushing and pulling the heavy cars into place. At last, the day's work was done. The twin now became excited. They were going to use the turntable for the first time. Bill went first.
- Bill: This is fun!
- Alec Baldwin: He shrieked to Ben. He didn't want to move off at all. The foreman stopped the turntable.
- Foreman: Please make way for the other engines.
- Alec Baldwin: He ordered. Bill did so, but unfortunately, the foreman had accidentally stopped the turntable in the wrong place. Bill was on the wrong track and there was Ben puffing directly toward him. The engines came to a grinding halt. They gazed grimly at each other.
- Bill: I was here first!
- Alec Baldwin: Said Bill.
- Ben: But you're in my way!
- Alec Baldwin: Protested Ben.
- Ben: You'll have to back up again!
- Bill: I won't!
- Ben: You will!
- Bill: I won't!
- Alec Baldwin: Sir Topham Hatt came to stop the noise.
- Sir Topham Hatt: If you don't behave.
- Alec Baldwin: He warned.
- Sir Topham Hatt: I shall not allow you here again.
- Alec Baldwin: The next day, Ben was still grumpy.
- Ben: That Bill! Imagine getting in my way on the turntable. He's a really silly engine!
- BoCo: The way I heard it.
- Alec Baldwin: Sighed BoCo.
- BoCo: It sounded like you were both to blame.
- Ben: Pah! You must have heard it all wrong!
- Alec Baldwin: The twins grumbled about each other all day. Even kind Edward lost patience.
- Edward: All this grumbling spreads bad atmosfere in the yard.
- BoCo: You're quite right and that's why i come up with a plan.
- Alec Baldwin: BoCo whispered his plan to Edward. Then his driver told Sir Topham Hatt.
- Sir Topham Hatt: I'll start making arrangements right away.
- Alec Baldwin: The next morning he called Bill and Ben into the yard.
- Sir Topham Hatt: BoCo is taking a special train to the harbour. His regular heavy goods train is waiting on the siding. You can pull it together.
- Ben: But...
- Bill: But...
- Alec Baldwin: Protested Bill and Ben who were still not speaking to each other.
- Sir Topham Hatt: Good. I knew I can rely on you two.
- Ben: I'll take the train myself.
- Alec Baldwin: Huffed Ben.
- Bill: Go right ahead.
- Alec Baldwin: Said Bill. Ben was coupled up to the train of freight cars, but they were too heavy for him to move alone.
- Bill: Go on.
- Alec Baldwin: Teased Bill.
- Ben: I can't!
- Alec Baldwin: Said Ben. Then suddenly, both twins laughed.
- Bill: I don't think we'll take turns this time, Ben.
- Alec Baldwin: Said Bill.
- Bill: I think we better pull together!
- Alec Baldwin: Ben was delighted. It was good to be helping each other. Best of all, it was good to be friends again.
