Impatient Gordon/Transcript

Transcript

• Stephen Patton: Gordon was cross. Thomas had been chosen by Percy as the "something blue". Harriet and the two engines had a great time at the wedding, and he wanted to be the engine to be chosen. That day, after the wedding, Percy was taking on water when Gordon stopped behind him.
• Gordon: Hurry up!
• Stephen Patton: Called .
• Gordon: I'm a very important engine.
• Percy: I'm not finished yet.
• Stephen Patton: Huffed Percy.
• Gordon: Pah!
• Stephen Patton: Replied Crovan.
• Gordon: I've got no time to wait. Now get out of my way you big watermelon!
• Stephen Patton: Henry felt very offended, but said nothing as he rolled away to let have a drink instead. Later, came back with some news.
• : There's to be some freight cars that you need to take to Tidmouth Harbor.
• Stephen Patton: He said.
• : You must take them there.
• Stephen Patton: Gordon was fuming.
• Crovan: I wish I was not wanted. Why can't Percy do it? He loves messing around with freight cars.
• The Governor: You will do as you are told.
• Stephen Patton: Said the governor sternly. Gordon banged the freight cars hard when he got to the docks.
• Crovan: I don't believe it.
• Stephen Patton: He thought.
• Crovan: Honestly, nervous some people!
• Stephen Patton: Just then, BoCo rolled up beside him.
• BoCo: Hello, Crovan.
• Stephen Patton: He said.
• BoCo: You'd must be careful with the freight cars, they've been quite troublesome lately.
• Crovan: Nonsense.
• Stephen Patton: Replied Crovan.
• Crovan: You electronics know too much. I can handle this job easily. The faster I get to Tidmouth Harbor the sooner I can finally go back to do whatever I usually do.
• Stephen Patton: BoCo was not amused. But before he could say anything else, Crovan puffed away importantly. On the way to the harbor however, the freight cars were shocked at Crovan. BoCo had already handled them very carefully, and now he ruined the mood.
• Troublesome Trucks #1: Well that was just playing rude.
• Stephen Patton: One said.
• Troublesome Trucks #2: (chuckles) I agree with you. Like that engine any right to speak to others like that
• Troublesome Trucks #2: We'll teach him a lesson first. (laughing)
• Stephen Patton: More laughed. But Crovan didn't hear them. He was too busy trying to get the job done as fast as he could. At Edward's Station, Henry arrived with his passenger train next to Edward, feeling rather upset.
• Edward: What's the matter.
• Stephen Patton: He asked.
• Henry: Crovan was being horrid to me when I was getting some water.
• Edward: Take notice of him.
• Stephen Patton: Replied Edward.
• Edward: That will never change for now. I don't know what's got into him. But you are a hard-working engine. Sometimes engines can be so rude to each, but not me.
• Stephen Patton: That made Henry feel better, until Crovan puffed by between the two engines at a very high speed.
• Crovan: Just look at me go you two!
• Stephen Patton: He boasted to Henry and Edward.
• Crovan: At least I'm not as slow as a snail.
• Edward: He'll probably head for trouble.
• Stephen Patton: Thought Edward. Throughout the journey, Crovan kept on calling out the other engines rudely until the freight cars had had enough, and even the governor tried to slow down.
• The Governor: Slow down, Crovan!
• Stephen Patton: He shouted.
• The Governor: You're going to cause the accident!
• Stephen Patton: Suddenly, as they approached Maron, the switch pointed to the buffers, the governor tried to put on the brakes, but the freight cars pushed Crovan on and on. The governor jumped clear as they smashed into the buffers. It was a horrible mess, and the governor was very cross.
• The Governor: You dumb engine!
• Stephen Patton: He fumed.
• The Governor: You could've damaged yourself! If it wasn't for your impatience, none of this would've happened.
• Stephen Patton: Crovan whimpered.
• Crovan: I'm so sorry, sir. Please give me another chance.
• Stephen Patton: The governor shook his head.
• The Governor: Everyone has been given you so many chances to change, Crovan. I don't know what's got into you in the first place. But I'm afraid they're all right, some people in the whole world can't change a bit. They usually make the same mistake over and over again until everyone avoids you completely, even after that person has apologized and promising they'll never do it again.
• Crovan: If everyone ignored my forgiveness, they'll never be friends with me.
• Stephen Patton: Mourned Crovan in his broken voice.
• Crovan: And then, no one likes me.
• The Governor: That doesn't mean that everyone likes you, including me, or not.
• Stephen Patton: The governor told him.
• The Governor: You didn't want to be patient as well. Now don't ever start crying like a baby.
• Crovan: Whatever.
• Stephen Patton: Said Crovan.
• Crovan: No one likes me cause of my silly behavior in the first place.
• The Governor: Keep your mouth shut!
• Stephen Patton: Snapped the governor.
• The Governor: Now I will have to call Sir Topham Hatt.
• Stephen Patton: And so he did when he was about to enjoy the slice of wedding cake he saved from the party.
• Sir Topham Hatt: Crovan was very impatient towards everyone? Well then I'm afraid you'll have to leave him where he is, I'll send to put him back onto the tracks later. Now if you'll excuse me, I'd better get back to eat my cake.
• The Governor: Goodbye, Crovan.
• Stephen Patton: Said the governor sternly after that, walking away.
• Crovan: Wait, don't go!
• Stephen Patton: Called Crovan.
• Crovan: You can't just leave me here like this!
• Stephen Patton: But the governor had already left. Crovan laid there in the ditch. For the rest of the afternoon, he watched as the engines ignored him, scold him, and even made fun of him for his actions. As much as Crovan wanted to apologize so badly. He remembered what the governor had said.
• The Governor: People would make the same mistake over and over again, even after they apologize.
• Stephen Patton: Crovan slowly began to feel more and more depressed as he laid there, waiting to rest.
• Crovan: Who am I kidding?
• Stephen Patton: He thought.
• Gordon: I'm a very horrid engine! How could I be so dumb not to control my anger? I can't believe the mean governor abandoned me here.
• Stephen Patton: But that night, while Gordon was fast asleep, he was lifted back onto the tracks by Jerome and Judy, and also he were 2 other pushed away by another engines all the way towards Callan shed . And after being pushed in there, Gordon woke up, right next to the shed were.
• Edward: Hello, Gordon.
• Stephen Patton: Smiled kindly.
• Edward: We saw you've taken quite a tumble, so Sir Topham Hatt sent us quickly to fetch Judy and Jerome to help you.
• Gordon: What?
• Stephen Patton: Wondered Gordon.
• Gordon: But why have you helped me?
• : Because, while you may not be the nicest engine sometimes.
• Stephen Patton: Replied.
• : I know there's still good inside everyone. People who just say otherwise just don't understand what people suffer through in their lives.
• Stephen Patton: Gordon sighed.
• Gordon: I wish the world was always nicer to others.
• : Us too.
• Stephen Patton: Said .
• : But at least you have me and I can definitely promise that.
• Stephen Patton: And Gordon managed to smile. He was glad that while the other engines might need some time to actually give him another chance. He was happy that he still has Edward and Henry beside him.
