Dialogue

 * Thomas: Oh, wow! Who's this with two tenders? Hello, are you from the Other Railway? I was built on the Mainland, you know. And once, a long time ago, I went back across with the other famous engines from Sodor.
 * Flying Scotsman: Is that so? I didn't think there were famous engines on Sodor. [sees Gordon] Oh, hello, Gordon.
 * Thomas: Do you two know each other?
 * Gordon: Yes, Thomas, we know each other. This is my brother. They call him… "the Flying Scotsman".
 * Flying Scotsman: Indeed they do. It almost makes me sound famous, doesn't it? [winks at Thomas] Oh, Gordon, I wanted to tell you my news! I've been invited to take part in the Great Railway Show on the Mainland, I shall be racing!
 * [Gordon gasps]
 * Thomas: The Great Railway Show? What's that?
 * Flying Scotsman: Oh, the Great Railway Show is where engines compete to see who's the fastest, or the strongest, or what have you. But I'm not sure any engines from Sodor will be going.
 * Gordon: I wouldn't want to go anyway, not if it's full of engines like you always boasting about how exciting things are on the Mainland!
 * Thomas: Well, I want to go!
 * Flying Scotsman: Of course you do, Thomas, and with any luck, maybe you shall. Flying Scotsman, coming through!




 * Thomas: [sees a big blue engine up ahead] Gordon? Gordon! [puffs up to the big blue engine and whistles] Thanks goodness I've found… [notices that the big blue engine is actually a female] Oh. You're not Gordon.
 * Frieda: [scoffs; in a German accent] Do I look like a Gordon? My name is Frieda. [whistles and puffs away]
