Kara quotes from Shining Time Station

Take us through the years...

Take us through the years...

Magic sand of time.

Magic sand of time.

Take us long ago...

Take us long ago...

When we're finished with this rhyme.

When we're finished with this rhyme.

Kara

[hands Mr. Conductor an envelope] This came in the mail for you today. It has no address on it, but I guess it's for you.

[opens the envelope] Let's see. Who could be writing to me?

Oh, no. No! This can't be happening! No way!

Kara

What's the matter?

My sister's coming for a visit.

Kara

You have a sister?

Well, I know we had the same parents, and we grew up in the same house. But somewhere along the way, my little sister was raised by laughing hyenas.

Kara

Little sister? How little is she?

Oh, she's grown up now, but you never know it.

Kara

What do you mean?

Well, you see how neat and polite I am? She's messy and rude. She got away with everything when we were kids.

Kara

Like what?

One night at dinner, she took off her shoes and socks and put her feet in the mashed potatoes! UGH! Another time, she took my drawings and made paper airplanes out of them!

Kara

Well, she was younger then. She wouldn't do that now.

Oh? What about the time she threw my favorite mittens in the toilet?!

Kara

Maybe she was just trying to have some fun.

She had fun, all right. She laughed about it for weeks.

Kara

Still, it's nice when relatives come to visit, remember?

Hey, Mickey, I'm going to the clubhouse. Are you coming or not?

The clubhouse? Oh, yes. Quite. I mean, sure thing. [to Kara and Becky] Excuse me, ladies.

Kara

"Excuse me, ladies"?! He's so... polite.

Should we ask him to be in our play? He'd be a perfect prince.

Kara

I don't know. I wonder what a real prince would be like? [Mr. Conductor appears] Hi, Mr. Conductor.

Hello, Kara. Hi, Becky.

Mr. Conductor, have you met a real prince?

Not exactly, at least not yet. But Thomas has lots of experience with crowned heads. He's even met the Queen.

[in unison] No!

Yes! [blows his whistle]
