00:00Kevin's cranky friend. It was a beautiful day on the island of Sodor, but a very busy day down at Brendan Docks.
00:11Cranky was working as hard as he could, but the cargo kept on coming.
00:18Lifting and loading, loading and lifting, does it ever stop?
00:23Whoops! Careful, Cranky!
00:27I'm always careful, Thomas.
00:30Could you unload me now?
00:33No, you'll have to wait your turn. Can't you see how busy I am?
00:39I'm coming, I'm coming!
00:42It may be a sunny day, matey, but if Cranky gets any crankier, I see dark clouds on the horizon.
00:51It was a long wait before Cranky finally unloaded Thomas' flatbeds. Now Thomas was running very late indeed.
01:01Thomas, you should have been here an hour ago!
01:04I'm sorry, sir, but I had to wait to be unloaded because Cranky is so busy.
01:10Is he? I'd better get to the docks and see what's happening.
01:19Oh, my!
01:21The Fat Controller was horrified by the chaos he saw at the docks.
01:26Come on, Cranky!
01:28CRANKY WHISTLES
01:31Cranky, look at this mess! What is going on here?
01:37I'm working as fast as I can, sir.
01:40Yes, I can see that, but maybe you could do with some help.
01:45Help? I don't need help! I'll soon have this all cleared up.
01:50Oops!
01:52Oh!
01:54That's it, Cranky! Oh!
01:58I'm getting another crane to come and help you clean up this dockside.
02:02Another crane? But I don't need any help!
02:07Ha-ha-ha! Help be on the way, me hearty!
02:11And not a moment too soon!
02:14Oh, watch yourself!
02:16So, the Fat Controller went to the steamworks.
02:22Hello, Victor. I want to know if you can spare Kevin for the day.
02:28Yes, sir. As you can see, we are particularly quiet.
02:33Kevin!
02:35Coming! Ha-ha-ha!
02:38You called, boss?
02:40Ah, Kevin, I have a special job for you.
02:44A special? For me?
02:47Wow! I've never heard of a crane being given a special before!
02:52Kevin, calm down.
02:54Oh, uh, sorry, boss.
02:57I need you to go to Brendam Docks and help Cranky.
03:01The docks? I've always wanted to go there!
03:05And I've always wanted to meet Cranky!
03:09Excellent! I'll make the arrangements and you can start right away.
03:16Thomas took Kevin to Brendam Docks.
03:19Here we are, Kevin. Brendam Docks.
03:22Wow! It's amazing!
03:25Kevin was so excited to be at the docks.
03:30And he was really looking forward to meeting Cranky.
03:35Hello, Cranky. My name's Kevin.
03:38I'm here to lend a helping hook. What do you want me to do?
03:43I told the Fat Controller and I'm telling you, I don't need any help.
03:49Especially from a funny little crane like you.
03:53But the Fat Controller said this was my special job.
03:57Surely there's something I can do that would be helpful?
04:01Oh, yes, of course there is.
04:04Go over there and stay out of my way.
04:08I don't need any help, thank you very much.
04:12Oh, don't fret, matey.
04:14Cranky by name and Cranky by nature.
04:19You'll soon get used to his cranky ways.
04:24Cranky continued to work on his own.
04:27But there was so much to do.
04:29Look out!
04:32Uh-oh!
04:33I'll get through!
04:36Kevin saw what had happened and rushed to help.
04:46There you go, Cranky! All done!
04:50But instead of being grateful, Cranky was furious.
04:55That was all your fault, you silly little crane.
04:59Watching me all the time, you're making me nervous.
05:03Now go back over there and stop interfering.
05:08I can cope perfectly well on my own.
05:13Shiver me axles! There'll be chickens!
05:17There were chickens here, chickens there, chickens running everywhere.
05:22And once again, Kevin hurried to help.
05:26Don't worry, Cranky. All under control.
05:30Kevin set to work.
05:33Soon he had rounded up all the chickens.
05:37Well done, young Kevin. You're a credit to the crew.
05:42But Cranky didn't think so.
05:44I thought I told you to stay out of my way.
05:48Whizzing all over the docks, you're making me dizzy.
05:52But...
05:53No buts. Get back over there
05:56and stop sticking your hook in when it's not wanted.
06:00Hello, Kevin. How are you enjoying your day at the docks?
06:04Not very well, Thomas. I don't think Cranky likes me.
06:09He's not so bad when you get to know him.
06:12Under all that gruff beats a heart of gold.
06:17Uh-oh.
06:19Then there was trouble. Kevin didn't know what to do.
06:24Don't worry, bus. I've got it.
06:27Oh, oh, oh, oh, Kevin.
06:31Crane overboard.
06:34Help, help.
06:36I told him to stay put. Nobody listens to old Cranky.
06:44Well done.
06:46What is going on here?
06:49I thought I could trust you with this special job, Kevin.
06:54I... I... I...
06:57I think you should return to the steamworks immediately.
07:02You're not helping here at all.
07:06Kevin was so excited that he forgot to turn on the steam.
07:11You're not helping here at all.
07:14Kevin was so ashamed. He had tried to be a really useful crane,
07:19but it had all gone horribly wrong,
07:22and now he was being sent away in disgrace.
07:26Uh, it wasn't his fault, sir.
07:30It was mine. Kevin was just trying to help.
07:35He's a bit reckless, but he's a hard worker
07:39and really useful.
07:42Wow! Cranky does like me, and he thinks I'm really useful.
07:48And he even called me Kevin.
07:51What did I say? Ha-ha-ha! A heart of gold.
07:56Well, it's good to see you two getting along so well. Carry on.
08:02Thanks, Cranky.
08:04Uh, what would you like me to do now?
08:07Should I stay here in the corner? I don't want to get in your way.
08:12Uh, maybe I do need a bit of help.
08:15After all, two hooks are better than one.
08:18Let's get this dockside looking ship shaped, shall we?
08:22Ha! OK, boss. You and me, Cranky.
08:26Oh, boy! What a team!
08:31He's doing a fine job there, matey.
08:35Yes, he certainly is.
08:38But why does he have to do it so cheerfully?
