Thomas quotes from Thomas & Friends

Are you looking forward to seeing my statue?

It might not be your statue.

I thought you broke down at the junction, and where are the trucks of tiles?

I tricked you. There was nothing wrong with me at the junction. I just didn't want to pull these heavy trucks. I'm a really lazy engine.

I'll pull you back onto the tracks, then I'll be your back engine. That way, we'll get the tiles to the school in double-quick time.

[showing off his new trucks] I've got new trucks too!

They're ever nicer than James'!

Your trucks may be nice and new now, but you'll never keep your trucks as clean as mine!

Yes, I will. I'll have the cleanest trucks on the island.

[covered in melon] Bother!

James, I think trucks like to be useful rather than clean.

And all the trucks agreed.

You're looking very cheerful, Thomas.

Haven't you heard about the curse and the cliffs?

[nervously] No.

Whenever the first engine of the holiday season goes around the headland, a terrible fault comes down over the cliffs. The engine loses its way and nobody knows where it goes.

[sees Ben looking unhappy] What's the matter?

I was enjoying myself until I met Diesel. He told me a monster lives in this tunnel. Now I'm too scared to go through.

I'm sure Diesel can't be right about the monster. Why don't I go into the tunnel first? Then you can follow me.

[seeing Thomas pulling Edward's train] Thomas, this train is late, and why are you pulling it? Where is Edward?

Edward took on the wrong sort of coal, sir.

The wrong sort of coal?! What nonsense, Thomas! I'll find out what Edward has to say about this later.

Yes, sir.

The golden eagle has been seen on Gordon's Hill!

How exciting. I must get there right away.

It's the ghost engine, sir! And it's come to get me!

It's not a ghost engine! That's Thomas! He's a Really Useful Engine! Thomas, you have done a splendid job! You deserve a special washdown!

Thank you, sir.

I am to take a truck of flour to make cakes and bread for the children's harvest festival supper.

I wish The Fat Controller had given me that job. It would be much more fun than shunting trucks.

First, I have to take on water. Please shunt the flour truck for me, Thomas. [leaves]

Bossy boiler!

Hello. I'm Thomas and I'm a tank engine.

Hello, I'm Jeremy and I'm a jet plane.

It must be wonderful being able to fly.

It is. I can go anywhere I want. Flying is the most fun in the world.

I like traveling on tracks. I puff past farms and villages, and see all the wonderful sights of Sodor.

Well, from the air, I see the wonderful sights of Sodor all at once!

[heading for the airport station] I never want to talk to a jet plane again.

Jet planes can go wherever they'd like. I wish I were a jet plane.

But engines can pull carriages and take children to picnics. Engines are really useful!

Are you looking for something, Thomas?

I'm looking for the Christmas tree.

Don't you know what a Christmas tree looks like? It's tall and green and pointy. Peter Sam, Thomas needs our help! He doesn't know what a Christmas tree looks like!

[cuts him off] Of course I do!

[after his mishap] I've been a very silly engine. I didn't want to listen to you. I thought I knew better than the little engines. but I don't. I need to find the tree, and there's no time to lose.

Of course I'll help you! Follow me, Thomas.

I'm sorry you didn't set a new record today.

And I'm sorry I took your coal.

Who holds the old record?

I do!
