[train whistle blows]
- Hi, Salty!
Hi, Porter!
[train horns blow]
- Hello, Thomas.
- 'Tis a fine morning, matey.
Arr.
- [laughs]
Hello, Cranky!
- Hello, Thomas.
[metal creaks]
- What was that?
- Oh, sounded like the wail
of a giant sea squid.
- Oh, no!
- Uh, I thought it was, uh...
Cranky.
both: Cranky?
[metal creaking]
- Shiver me pistons!
Was that you, shipmate?
- I'm just
a little creaky today.
Nothing to worry about.
Carry on.
[metal creaking]
Carry on.
- Creaky Cranky.
[all laugh]
- Yeah, well, you'd creak, too,
if you were up here
night and day exposed
to the wind and the rain
and the salty sea air.
- Oh, you know,
I heard about these cranes
on the mainland--Ow!
[thuds]
[laughter]
Cranky!
[metal creaks]
- Oh, every creak
is another step nearer
the scrap yard.
[laughs tauntingly]
- I'm not that old.
I just need a spot of oil,
then I'll be right as rain.
- As I was saying,
Sir Topham Hatt was talking
about these big, new,
fancy cranes
that can do all sorts of stuff.
- Big, new, fancy cranes?
Ha!
Who needs them?
[strains]
[metal creaks]
[laughter]
Oh...
narrator:
Later that afternoon,
Sir Topham Hatt
came down to Brendham
for an important meeting
with the dock manager.
- Hello, sir,
good to see you.
- [laughs]
Hope you've put the kettle on.
- Better not creak while
Sir Topham Hatt's around,
Cranky, eh?
Don't want him to replace you
with a big,
new, fancy crane.
Know what I mean?
[laughs]
- Mustn't creak. Mustn't creak.
Slowly and carefully does it.
[metal creaks]
- Huh?
- [imitates coughing]
[metal creaking]
[water splashes]
- Oh!
Freight overboard!
- It's all right!
I got it!
No problem!
Everything's fine!
- Aah! [grunting]
[thudding]
Aah!
Whoa! Whoa!
[whimpering]
[grunts]
- Oh, no.
- Oh, dear, Cranky.
Oh, dear. Oh, dear.
- Oh, first I'm creaking,
and now I'm causing
confusion and delay.
Maybe I am getting old.
- Ow! Ooh!
Steady out, shipmate.
Don't overdo it.
- Hello, everyone.
What a lovely...day.
- No time to chat, Edward,
plenty to do.
I'm a busy crane, you know?
- He thinks if he works
twice as fast,
Sir Topham Hatt
won't replace him...
[muffled] With a big, new,
fancy crane.
- Replace him with a what?
- [muffled]
A big, new, fancy crane.
- A big shoe zebra plane?
- [muffled] No, a big, new,
fancy crane.
- A pig stew dancing lane?
- A big, new, fancy crane!
- Huh?
- Okay, okay,
no need to shout.
- [groans]
- And now he's working harder
and harder and faster and faster
to show Sir Topham Hatt
that he's not too old.
- Poor Cranky.
- He's working
all through the night.
He just won't stop.
- Even cranes
need their sleep.
- But Sir Topham Hatt
would never get rid of Cranky.
- Well, I did hear him talking
about big, new,
fancy cranes, Percy.
- No, he'd never replace
Cranky.
Would he?

narrator: Cranky had worked
all through the night
and into the next day,
and he still wouldn't stop.
He was so worried
that Sir Topham Hatt
would think he couldn't do
his job anymore.
- Cranky!
- Oh.
- Slow down!
Everyone's rushed off
their wheels here.

Then there was trouble.

Oh, what on Earth is going on?

I'm fine, better than fine.
Busy, busy, busy--that's me.
Can't stop. Work to do.

about Cranky.
He's been working
all night, and...
- Oh, no.
[whistle toots]
- It's not looking good,
Thomas.
Sir Topham Hatt was down
at Brendham with a dock manager,
and they were talking
about Cranky.
- [chuckles] I don't think
that means anything.
Sir Topham Hatt's not really
going to replace Cranky
with a big,
new, fancy crane.
- Right, you two.
I have a very special special
for you today.
We're off
to the Mainland Crane Works
to look at some big, new,
fancy cranes.
[suspenseful music]
narrator:
That night Cranky was so tired
that he just couldn't stay
awake a second longer.
[tiredly]
Must keep working.
Need to lift another...
[grumbling softly]
[snoring]
narrator:
While he was sleeping,
Thomas and Edward returned
from the Mainland Crane Works,
and they brought
something back with them.

Wha--
- [groans]
- I wasn't asleep, sir.
I never sleep.
I'm too busy working.
Much too busy.
- Hey-up, Chuck.
- [gasps]
Don't get rid of me,
sir, please!
I-I'm not so old,
a-and I really am
a useful crane!
- [chuckles]
I know you are, Cranky,
very useful, indeed,
But just lately, every time
I've come to the docks,
I've noticed how frantically
you've been working,
so I thought maybe you needed
a helping hook.
- Hey-up, Chuck.
- Huh?
- I hear you've been struggling,
but don't worry.
I'm here now.
Callie's the name.
We'll soon have these docks
running smoothly again.
[quirky music]
- I--
- I'm sure you two
are going to get along
like a house on fire.
Isn't that right, Cranky?
- Oh, no.
- All right, then...
may as well make a start.
[grunts]
Oh, whoops!
[laughs]
- Hey!
You creak just like me!
- [chuckles] That's what happens
when you're made of metal.
A spot of oil
will soon fix that.
- Save some for me, Callie.
We'll make
a well-oiled team.

narrator: So now there was
a big, new, fancy crane
on the docks.
