Tanya quotes from Shining Time Station

Now, I think it is getting time for me to leave.

Matt

Not yet. Please, not yet.

Now, let me tell you both something. [removes his hat and dries his forehead with his handkerchief] No matter what happens, we will always be friends.

Promise?

Matt

Promise?

It's a promise! Good-bye, now. Good-bye. [leaves]

Wait! You forgot your hat.

Matt

It's too late. Now he's gone forever.

Stacy

[on the phone] Hello? Shining Time Station. Stacy Jones speaking. Oh, hi, Claire. Oh, you want to bring Vickie here this afternoon?

Stacy

Oh, sure, no problem. Okay. Glad to be of some help. I'll see you in a little bit. [hangs up; to the children] What is your problem?!

Matt

Vickie! She's horrible!

Stacy

Oh, she's not horrible.

Yes, she is. She's mean and nasty and selfish and rude.

Stacy

Okay, okay, okay. Now, come on. Nobody can be that bad.

Vickie can!

Stacy

Oh, now come on, you guys. She must have some good qualities. Think about it.

Well,... No.

Stacy

Come on, you two.

Matt

Well, both her eyes are the same color.

Stacy

Oh, Matt.

She never threw up on me.

Stacy

Tanya!

Well, she does have a pretty good singing voice.

Stacy

Great! Then you can sing carols together.

No. She never does anything you tell her to.

Matt

Yeah, and she never smiles, even when you say something funny to her.

Stacy

All right. Listen, you guys. I told her mother that she can come here and play, so I want you to be nice to her, okay?

Matt

Will Santa know we've been nice?

Stacy

Oh, yeah. Santa will know, and so will Vickie. I hope.

Matt

Dear Cousin Dan, I can't wait for you to get here. Shining Time Station is busier than ever.

Dear Cousin Kara, guess what? Our grandfather Harry was transferred to Fort Farley, so Shining Time Station has a new engineer. His name is Billy Twofeathers.

Matt

But Schemer is still Schemer, and you know what that means. And Aunt Stacy's fine, and she's really happy running the station. A man named Mr. Nicholas came to visit us at Christmas time. Mr. Nicholas needed help at his workshop, so when he went back to his home at the North Pole, Mr. Conductor went along with him.

But then, Mr. Conductor's cousin arrived. There's always a Mr. Conductor living here, or else it wouldn't be Shining Time Station. See you on Halloween. Love, Tanya.

Matt

When you get here. Your cousin, Matt.

Stacy

[looks at the new uniforms] Oh, boy, look at that.

Billy

TST. I like the sound of that.

Stacy

Yeah. [looks at the back] "The Schemer Team"?

Matt

Well, Schemer did pay for the uniforms. [Mr. Conductor appears on his baseball bat]

Maybe they'll look better when they're on.

Kara

Mr. Conductor, are you okay?

Matt

Sorry, Mr. Conductor. I didn't see you there.

[gets back on his feet] Oh, that's all right, Matt. Yes, Kara. I'm as right as rain. I landed as a soft pop fly, you might say.
