00:00Friendly Tuff Folks 2
00:02Oh Theodore
00:04Likes to do the things
00:06That Friendly Tuff Folks do
00:13Hello
00:14I was working late in my office so
00:16I decided to sleep here tonight
00:18The only problem is
00:20I'm not sleepy
00:25I should put away my maps
00:31Ah, that's much neater
00:33Maybe I should turn off the light in my fish tank
00:37Yep
00:48Now what?
00:49I still can't fall asleep
00:56But this is so nice
00:59But this is the perfect chance to tell you
01:01about what happened today in the big harbor
01:03We have... Foduck met the Shy ship
01:09One morning Theodore was bringing Emma Sophia
01:11the cargo ship into the harbor
01:14They heard three sharp whistle blasts
01:16Emma Sophia saw Tugboat in a bright red hat
01:19steaming towards her with a very serious look on his face
01:22All secure here?
01:23He called, inspecting the ship
01:25Engine in order, hatches battened down
01:28Foduck's radar was spinning and whirring
01:30and his underwater sonar machine made loud
01:32pinging and pointing sounds as he checked out the ship
01:35Barge traffic ahead, he said finally
01:37Proceed with caution
01:39Who was that? said Emma Sophia nervously
01:42Foduck, answered Theodore
01:44He's our safety tug
01:46Is he real? said Emma Sophia
01:49Mostly, said Theodore
01:51That's just his way of saying hello
01:58When Foduck finished his patrol
02:00he blew his loudest whistle, just like he always did
02:02and shouted, all safe!
02:07The dispatcher was waiting for Foduck
02:09when he returned at the Great Ocean Dock
02:11Foduck, he said, don't forget
02:13it is your turn to be on the night shift tonight
02:15Oh, well perhaps I should have a nap now, said Foduck
02:18Got to be sharp for the night shift
02:20That's a good idea, the dispatcher told him
02:24As soon as the harbour was dark
02:26and the other tugs were asleep
02:28Foduck woke up to start the night shift
02:30He would be the tug on duty until morning
02:33Foduck began his harbour safety patrol
02:35just like he always did before he started work
02:37First, he turned on all his special equipment
02:44The pinging and the pointing and the whirring and the whistling
02:47woke the other tugs
02:49All systems operational, he smiled
02:51Foduck, grumbled George, go somewhere else and do that
03:03Foduck was floating along
03:05when he saw a dark shape lurking near the shore
03:10Identify yourself, he shouted
03:12Friend or foe?
03:14Cable ship, actually, replied Digby, dizzily
03:17What are you doing here?
03:19Sleeping, said Digby
03:21That is, I was sleeping
03:23Sleeping, repeated Foduck
03:25Very good, proceed with sleeping
03:27But just as soon as you stop shining
03:29that gibberdy gibberdy spotlight of yours in my eyes
03:32fumed Digby
03:34Oh yes, just doing my job, sir
03:36said Foduck
03:43A little later, something else caught Foduck's eye
03:46Guysbro, the garbage barge, looked dirty
03:50Hmm, he said to himself
03:52A clean harbor is a safe harbor
03:56So Foduck decided to give the garbage barge
03:58a good spray with his hose
04:01I'm melting, howled the grumpy barge
04:05You see, Guysbro just hates to be clean
04:08No need for panic, said Foduck, just doing my job
04:12His patrol was over
04:14and now it was time for him to blow his whistle
04:16like he always did
04:19All safe, he shouted
04:24Pipe down, hollered Benjamin
04:26Oh, be quiet, called Lily the lighthouse
04:28Go back to your dock, Foduck, called Rebecca
04:31I wonder why everyone is so grumpy at night
04:34Foduck said quietly
04:36I don't know, I don't know
04:38I wonder why everyone is so grumpy at night
04:40Foduck said quietly
04:42I'm just doing my job
04:47Foduck returned to his dock
04:49Theodore? Theodore, are you asleep?
04:51he called
04:53Theodore woke up with a start
04:55What is it? he stammered
04:57Fire? A runaway oil rig? A rocket ship crash?
05:00Oh, it's nothing, said Foduck
05:02That's the whole problem
05:04Theodore looked puzzled
05:06So Foduck explained
05:08I have the most modern safety equipment in the harbor
05:11and I can't even do my job
05:13Everyone's upset at me all of a sudden
05:15But, Foduck, Theodore said sadly
05:18Knowing you're there just makes us all feel safer
05:21Well, it doesn't feel safe to me
05:23when I'm not doing anything, frowned Foduck
05:27Theodore watched Foduck float sadly back out into the harbor
05:31There didn't seem to be anything he could do to make his friend feel better
05:36Foduck drifted along for a moment
05:38But suddenly, the water began to bubble
05:43Action stations!
05:44He shouted, turning on his radar, his sonar, and his searchlight one after the other
05:52Oh, it's only you, Northumberland submarine, he said
05:56Foduck turned off his radar, and his sonar, and his searchlight
06:02There's a ship outside the harbor who's been there for two nights now, said Northumberland
06:05She won't come in
06:06Won't come in, repeated Foduck, scanning towards the ocean
06:11Oh, I've been talking and talking to her, explained Northumberland
06:14And I think the reason she won't come in is that she's shy
06:17She doesn't know anybody here
06:19Foduck's engine skipped a beat
06:21At last, something to do
06:22I'll go right out there and bring her in, he cried
06:25Once in, Foduck turned on his radar, and his sonar, and his searchlight, ready for action
06:30Negative, said the sub
06:32Your job is to get the harbor calm and quiet, so she won't be afraid
06:35And then attempt to bring her in to talk
06:37Oh, said Foduck, quietly turning his radar, and his sonar, and his searchlight off again
06:42Can I count on you, said Northumberland
06:44I'm a tough little job, shouted Foduck, blasting his whistle
06:50Remember, calm and quiet, whispered Northumberland, slipping away again
06:55And you don't have much time
06:57She's getting ready to leave
07:00Foduck hurried off
07:02Calm and quiet, he repeated loudly
07:08We can't sleep, a voice called
07:10Foduck looked around, and saw it was Bayswater Barge, who was docked beside Brunswick Barge
07:16Be calm and quiet, Foduck ordered
07:19We're not tired, said Bayswater
07:21We're very restless, added Brunswick
07:24Are your bumpers out of air, frowned Foduck, inspecting the barges
07:27Are your ropes tied tightly?
07:29We want a story, said Brunswick
07:31Yes, tell us a story, agreed Bayswater
07:34I'm the safety tug, frowned Foduck
07:36I don't tell stories
07:38Please, begged Brunswick
07:40A story, pleaded Bayswater
07:44Shhh, said Foduck, alarmed
07:46Very well, I'll tell you a story
07:50Foduck cleared his throat
07:52And began
07:55Yesterday, at 0900 hours, I observed that it was time for my regular oil change, so...
07:59No, not that kind of story, interrupted Brunswick
08:02A real story, but not scary, added Bayswater
08:07Foduck could feel the precious minutes ticking away
08:09He knew that shy ship might be leaving soon
08:11But he had to get those two barges settled down
08:15Well, I do know one story that Rebecca told me, he said at last
08:19It's about Theodore and the three barges
08:21Oh, that sounds nice, said Bayswater
08:24Foduck began to tell the story
08:26And the barges snuggled closer to listen
08:31A little later, Foduck finished his story
08:33And they all floated happily ever after, again
08:37Aside from the bell buoy, who required a signal light refit
08:42Foduck looked around
08:43To his surprise, Brunswick and Bayswater were fast asleep
08:49Carefully and quietly, he squeezed out from between the two barges
08:55Well, that was kind of nice, he said to himself
09:03Foduck floated around the harbour
09:08Silently re-tying a tow rope here
09:11Gently moving a buoy who was off a spot there
09:16And this time, everywhere he went
09:18Instead of grumpy words and angry looks
09:21He heard friendly snorts and satisfied smiles
09:24As he gently tucked the harbour in for the night
09:28At last, all was calm and quiet
09:32Finally, it was time to find the shy ship
09:36Foduck turned towards the ship
09:38But first, he turned off all his special equipment
09:42Hello, Foduck called softly
09:44My name is Foduck
09:46My name is Kokoma, said the ship softly
09:49I hear you're worried about coming into the harbour, Foduck went on
09:52I guess, said Kokoma
09:55We have a perfect safety record, Foduck said firmly
09:58We're going to make it to the harbour
10:00I guess, said Kokoma
10:02We have a perfect safety record, Foduck said firmly
10:06I mean, he corrected himself
10:08It's perfectly nice
10:10It's a friendly place
10:13It is, said Kokoma
10:15Oh, very friendly, repeated Foduck
10:18Will you take me in, said Kokoma slowly
10:21Well, said Foduck, I suppose I could
10:27Foduck carefully tugged Kokoma into the harbour
10:30It does look nice here, said Kokoma
10:36There's no place nicer, said Foduck
10:41Foduck gently moved Kokoma to her dock
10:46You'll be just fine here, he said
10:49I'm on duty all night
10:51Just call if you need anything
10:53That's what safety tugs are for, he added, beginning to head off
10:56It's kind of dark, called Kokoma
10:59Could you stay with me until morning?
11:02Well, it just seems pretty quiet, said Foduck
11:07Please, said the ship
11:09Okay
11:12Thank you
11:15Foduck moved alongside
11:19I feel much safer now, said Kokoma
11:23Foduck didn't say anything
11:25But inside, he wondered how could she feel safe
11:28I haven't done any of my regular safety patrol things
11:31I didn't even blow my all-safe whistle
11:38Later, as the sun was just peeking out over the edge of the harbour
11:42Foduck looked around
11:44The tugs were in their dock
11:47The ships were in theirs
11:49And over in the distance, he could see the barges
11:52Snoring soft little barge snores
11:54He could hear Kokoma's engine purring beside him through his hall
11:58And then, almost in a whisper
12:00Foduck called
12:02All safe
12:27Oh yeah
