[sighs] We’ll be late.
I just know we will.
Ah, good morning, Sam, Sarah, James.
Well that’s everyone except Trevor
and his bus!
Well, I’m sure he’ll
be along soon, Mrs. Chen.
Now, you two, have a lovely school trip.
I’ll see you later.
Bye!
-Bye, Uncle Sam.
Are we going to Newtown Funfair with its
exciting new rollercoaster, Mrs. Chen?
R-rollercoaster?
No, Norman, we’re going to see the ancient
ruins with their historic crenellations.
Phew. Crene-what?
These up and down bits at the top.
Ancient ruins are so boring!
Now, everybody, get into pairs
for the bus ride.
Aw! Why do I always get stuck
with the little cry baby?
No, you don’t, Norman!
You were with me last time.
Normy!
Finally! Come on, get on board everybody!
Er. I’d just like to take a quick look
under the bonnet, Mrs. Chen.
No time for that, Trevor! We’re already
11 seconds behind schedule! Come on!
Oh. Right you are.
And then at the end of the film he says,
"A man’s gotta do, what a man’s gotta do."
Wow!
-Morning, partner!
-Er, hello Elvis.
Now, today, we’re going to
practice rescuing a horse.
Good morning, firefighters!
Good Morning, partner.
"Partner"?
Is that the correct form of address
to a senior firefighter, Cridlington?
No! And get down off that thing at once!
Sorry, partner. I mean,
Station Officer Steele.
And that isn’t regulation uniform.
♪ The wheels on the bus
go round and round ♪
♪ All day long ♪
Sing up, children!
♪ The wheels on the bus
go round and round ♪
Oh, no.
Mrs. Chen? The wheels on the bus have
stopped going round and round.
Hmm.
At this rate we won’t have
time for the crenellations.
-Yes! I mean... Oh, no!
-The crene-what?
These up and down bits.
Oh, never mind that.
Can’t you fix that any faster?
You know what they say, Mrs. Chen:
more haste, less speed.
Ha! Looks like we’re not going
to the boring old ruins after all!
Right! I’ll just check the accelerator.
I’ll do it, if it’ll speed us up.
Er, I’m not sure that.
Which one is it? This one here?
Yes. But, just a gentle tap.
Norman Price, get back in your seat!
I said gentle! Take your foot off!
Er, the pedal won’t come back up.
Whoa!
I haven’t reconnected the brakes!
And then you tie your guide rope on like
this to keep the horse steady.
Abd if you’re a cowboy,
you have to herd cattle.
Excellent loop, Firefighter Morris.
Nice turn, Firefighter McKinley.
Ooh, and you have to say things like
"Round ’em up, partner
and Yeehar!"
Cridlington! We live in Pontypandy,
not the Wild West!
You are never going to
have to lasso anything here!
[screaming]
[sighs] There is no reason to
become alarmed children.
By the way, does anyone
know how to drive a bus?
[whimpers]
I can’t keep up!
[Mrs. Chen screams]
Time to call... Fireman Sam.
[ alarm beeping]
Mrs. Chen is driving a bus full
of children and it can’t stop!
[alarm]
Mrs. Chen is driving a bus full
of children and it can’t stop!
Penny, you and Elvis go in Phoenix.
I’ll take Mercury.
Roger that, Sam!
[sirens]
There. Now everyone in Pontypandy can come
and get their five a day!
This isn’t a drive-thru!
[groans]
Take a left here!
Ah, but don’t go down to the quay!
Next right!
Don’t cry, Lily.
This is way better than a rollercoaster!
I’ve said it before: I don’t like speed!
Left or right?
-Left!
-Right!
-Oh, no! It’s Tuesday!
-So?
It’s cardboard recycling day!
Hey!
[humming] Ooh?
-This way!
-No, this way!
No, that way!
No, that way!
[sigh]
[smash]
[meows]
Mrs. Chen! The possibility of successfully
navigating a sheep field is approximately-
[screams]
Never tell me the odds.
I want my mam!
[laughs] Whee!
I’m going to climb on now.
That’s stopped the engine,
but you still have no brakes
and you’re heading straight for the ruins!
Elvis, I want you to throw a rope
to the bus to slow it down.
You mean?
Yep. Get out your lasso
and round ’em up, partner.
Now hit the brakes, Penny!
Oh, my!
[cheering]
Crenellations!
Thank you, Sam.
You stopped us just in time!
Well, you can thank Elvis for that!
But you should always check that vehicles
are safe before you drive them.
And if that brake cylinder belongs to
this bus, then I’m guessing it wasn’t!
Oh, Trevor, I’m so sorry!
Don’t you worry, Mrs. Chen.
That was a good bit of exercise!
I’m just glad you’re all okay.
I promise that next time
we have a school trip,
it will be less haste, less speed.
Marvelous job, you two.
-Thank you, sir.
-Thank you, sir.
And as for you, Cridlington.
Yes, sir?
That was some lassoing, partner!
[chuckles]
Ooh.
A firefighter’s gotta do what
a firefighter’s gotta do.
-Hooray!
