"Those rigs are big alright, but don't worry. I know them well. They all ask for me when they come in here."
"George, I want you to move that oil rig closer to the shore."
"And take Theodore along with you."
"Uhh, maybe a bigger tug would be better?"
"Follow me, Theodore. I'll show you everything you need to know about oil rigs. Just don't get in the way."
"Oh yes they always ask for me. That's because I'm so big and strong."
"We'll be swapping stories with this big fella in no time."
"Just you watch, Theodore."
"Tex? Tex, we're gonna move you to a better spot in the harbour!"
"Oh well uh, we'll stand by then."
"You can go home for all I care!"
"Y'all are in the way anyway!"
"Did he tell you lots of stories about the ocean?"
"Oh he was pretty tired. But we figured we better let him get some rest. He wanted us to stay, but..."
"I guess George gave you a good lesson about moving oil rigs. Eh, Theodore?"
"Uhh...well...I certainly never met anyone like him before."
"I've just been told a storm is coming. George, make sure that Tex's anchor cables are firmly in place."
"(clears throat) There's a big storm coming, do you need help with your anchors?"
"Oh you again? Why don't you just run along now?"
"I don't need your help!"
"I got more important things to do then chatter with every little tub that floats on by!"
"When you go for your fill of oil, where do you think it comes from huh? It comes from big fellas like me stay out at sea for months at a time in all kinds of weather. So I don't need some little tug and tow truck's help in this little old harbour now."
"It looks like that oil rig is still be mean to George, Bobby."
"Barges are so nice and quiet."
"We must make sure all the ships in the harbour are safely tied up before the storm."
"What's wrong with George?"
"I don't know. He just got back after telling that big oil rig about the storm."
"That oil rig is only a bunch of rods and rails."
"Tugboats always do what's best for any ships in the harbour, Theodore."
"No matter what kind they are?"
"It's gonna be a big storm. You can feel it in the wind."
One of Tex's weak anchor cables
"Tex, you've got a worn anchor cable and we're gonna have a storm! Do you think it'll be okay?"
"Listen, little puffer! I've rode out hurricanes on a wide open ocean on these here anchor cables."
"I'll bet you never even been out on ocean."
"Well no I haven't, sir."
"Well you just mind your own business then!"
"I saw you talking to Tex out there. Oh I suppose he's your friend now."
One of Tex's anchor cables snap
"We have an emergency! One of the anchor cables on the oil rig's cable is broken and he's in danger! He might even drift out of control!
"George, you must put a line on the rig! Leave immediately!"
Another of Tex's anchor cables snap
"Oh no! I'm gonna crash!"
"Good tugging, Theodore!"
"Thanks, Theodore. I'd have been really stuck without you."
"You know Theodore, you look small, but you're really as brave as the biggest of us."
"And thanks a bunch from up here!"
"Maybe sometimes I am a little too big for my bumpers..."
"...and now I know I'd have been a bunch of rods and rails without both of you."
"You know, you're both big fellas to me."
"This all reminds me of a little story I heard one time down the Gulf of Mexico!"
