[whistle toots]
male narrator:
Ryan and Daisy.
Daisy the diesel
railcar thinks of herself
as thoroughly modern
and bang-up to date.
- [horn honks]
- [whistle toots]
narrator: And being a railcar,
Daisy can carry passengers
without having to pull any
coaches at all.
Daisy shares the branch line
between Arlesburgh and Harwick
with a t*nk engine called Ryan.
- [whistle toots]
[bull lowing]
narrator: Although they work on
the same line,
they are quite different.
While Daisy takes all the
passengers, Ryan pulls cars.
Daisy doesn't like pulling
cars.
She likes to do just what work
she chooses
and no more.
One day, early in the morning,
Ryan was ready for work,
but Daisy had something
else in mind.
- Ready to go?
- [yawns]
I don't think so, Ryan.
Early mornings are bad
for my swerves.
[yawns]
I'll just have ten minutes more.
Oh.
[whistle toots, chuckles]
narrator: Sir Topham Hatt was
waiting
at Arlesburgh West
with some good news.
- Ryan, you and Daisy have
proved yourselves really useful.
So I want to give you both some
extra duties.
I'd like you to help Toby
deliver cars
from the Quarry to Harwick.
- Yes, Sir!
- And as for Daisy--
where is Daisy?
- Uh... If you have a message,
Sir, I can pass it on.
- Oh, not just a message--
it's this mail car.
Starting tomorrow,
Daisy will pick up the mail
from Arlesburgh
before she starts
her passenger run.
And now summer's here,
I also want her to work later
into the evening.
Can you remember to tell her
all that, Ryan?
- Yes, Sir!
No problem, Sir.
[whistle toots]
[train engine chugging]
[whistle toots]
- Oh, dear, Ryan!
[horn honks]
Poor you,
pulling that old thing.
- But this is your mail car.
You're to pick up the mail
from Arlesburgh West
first thing tomorrow
and work later into the evening.
- But I'm a diesel railcar.
You would make a much better job
of it, Ryan.
I can't pull a mail car;
it's fitter's orders.
- But Sir Topham Hatt says--
- Plus you look great pulling
the mail car.
Really useful!
- Well, when you put it
like that...
[whistle toots]
Thanks, Daisy!
- [horn honks]
[chuckles]
narrator: The following day,
Ryan set off early
to pick up the mail.
But all the extra duties made
him late to meet Toby.
- Sorry I'm late!
- That's all right, Ryan.
Don't worry.
But try to be on time tomorrow.
narrator: Later on,
Ryan saw Daisy.
- Where are you going?
- Back to the shed.
I'm exhausted.
- But you're supposed
to work late.
- Oh, Ryan, will you do that?
Please?
All this extra work
is bad for my swerves.
- But...
you're a diesel railcar.
I'm just a t*nk engine.
- You could take those coaches.
You'd be doing me a huge favor,
and you'd be really useful!
- You're right!
[whistle toots]
- [horn honks, giggles]
narrator: Sir Topham Hatt
was surprised
to see Ryan pulling
passenger coaches.
- Ryan?
What are you doing here?
- Just helping out, Sir.
- Well, Ryan--
uh--ah--
ooh!
You are making yourself
really useful,
but I was rather hoping
to see Daisy.
She's been doing such a good job
with her passengers
that I want to extend her run
down to Knapford.
- I can tell her that
for you, Sir.
- Thank you, Ryan.
I'd tell her myself but...
as you can see,
I'm a very busy man.
No!
narrator: That night,
when Ryan returned to the shed,
Daisy was already asleep.
[metal clanks]
Uh-oh, ah.
Ooh.
narrator: And she was still
asleep the next morning
when Ryan set off
to collect the mail.
Ryan didn't like to wake her.
He knew that early mornings
were bad for her swerves.
- [yawns]
Morning, everyone.
narrator: But now Ryan had
a lot to do!
As well as his own work
and extra duties,
he also had to do all
of Daisy's extra jobs.
- Go ahead.
Couple me up.
[whistle toots]
[yawns]
- Ah.
narrator: With the passenger
coaches behind him...
- [spits]
narrator: And Daisy's
mail car in front,
Ryan couldn't see
where he was going.
[wheels screech, whistle blares]
- Look out!
- Sorry.
narrator: And after Ryan had
delivered the mail,
he saw a clock and realized he
was late to meet Toby again!
- Oh, dear!
narrator: He hurried
to the Quarry
as quickly as he could.
And he took all
his passengers too.
[whistle chirps]
- Hm.
- Whoa!
Hold on there!
Stop!
You can't disembark here.
You need hard hats!
narrator: Poor Ryan felt very
silly indeed.
Sir Topham Hatt was not happy
with...
- Daisy!
You didn't do the run down to
Knapford, like I asked you to!
- Oh, I didn't know anything
about that, Sir.
- I saw Ryan pulling passenger
coaches yesterday
and with your mail car
this morning.
He seems to be doing all your
extra jobs.
- Ryan offered to help!
- [whistle toots]
- He wanted to be really useful.
- [sighs]
Ryan and Daisy,
you were given this branch line
to work on together.
You should be helping each
other.
It's good to help a friend,
Ryan,
but your friends should help you
too.
- Sorry, Ryan.
I've not been a very good
friend.
- No, you haven't.
And, now, Daisy, since you don't
like pulling the mail car,
you can do something else.
Tomorrow, you can have all
of Ryan's extra duties.
- But what about my springs?
And my swerves?
- [grunts]
- Okay, Sir.
I can do that
for a friend.
- Huh.
narrator: Daisy the diesel
railcar likes
to do just what work
she chooses
and no more.
- Right, then,
off I go to pick up your cars.
- Okay.
Thanks, Daisy.
- And then...
[shudders]
To the Quarry.
- Have a good day, then.
- [horn honks]
- You're a good friend, Daisy!
- I know I am, Ryan.
And so are you.
