The Fastest Red Engine on Sodor

[James' wheels can be seen whizzing on the rails. At Knapford, Toby is puffing along when he saw a butterfly flying besides him]

Toby: Oh.

[He ring his bell as he look at it. James is puffing down the track very fast]

Narrator: James is a really splendid red engine who loves to go fast.

[Toby looks at the butterfly with a warm smile

Narrator: Sometimes a little too fast.

[Toby is still looking at the butterfly when he move forward quickly as James approaches]

Toby: Oooh, James!

James: Out of the way, Toby!

Toby: Oooooooh!

James: Hello, Knapford! Here's James!

[He screeches to a stop, blowing a newspaper onto a workman's face, blinding him]

James: Hey, Emily. Hey, Irelanders.

Emily: (not amused) Hello, James.

The Fat Controller: Oh! Mind your speed, James and stop showing off.

James: (scoffs)

Emily: He's right, James. Stopping sharply like that is bad for your brakes.

James: (chuckles) I can't help being fast, Emily.

Thomas: Don't forget that time your wooden brake blocks caught fire.

James: Oh...

[A flashback of Thomas & Friends: The Adventure Begins starts playing that features James in his old black livery and his original wooden brake blocks caught fire and runaway. He blushes]

James: Yes, I remember all that. But I got rid of my wooden brake blocks and and I was painted red so good things came out of that accident and I don't have brake problems any more.

Emily: You might have problems again if you carry on like this.

James: I have to brake sharply sometimes, Emily. I'm the fastest red engine on Sodor.

Emily: (sighs)

[She puff away]

Thomas: (giggling) Fastest red engine on Sodor, are you? What about Rosie?

James: Ha! Rosie's not fast! And she's not red either. She's more of a... navy lilac.

Thomas: She's red now. I just saw her today!

[He puffs away, to James' shock and surprise]

James: Rosie's red?! Uh, red-red?! Like, like me red, James red?! Splendid red?! Are you teasing me?!

Thomas: (chuckles)

James: Thomas? Thomas! THOMAS!

[The scene changes to a Troublesome Truck blowing a raspberry at James]

James: (sighs) Trucks? Why do I have to pull trucks? I'm too splendid for trucks.

Truck: Ha-ha! "Too splendid".

Tanker: That's what you think. (giggles)

Truck: You can't pull coaches all the time.
