Thomas quotes from Thomas & Friends

[to the visitors] Welcome aboard! I will show you all the wonderful sights of Sodor.

I should be showing the sights to the important visitors!

Why?

Because I could show them around much more quickly than you! Then they would see everything there is to see on Sodor!

I can show you all the sights as quickly as you can! Just you see!

What's happening?

No one is getting out, Thomas, because no one is left onboard.

Cinders and ashes!

You were in so much of a hurry you left them all behind.

I must go back and pick everyone up.

Hello, Freddie. I haven't seen you for years.

Fearless Freddie is back.

I didn't know you two were friends!

Oh, yes.

I'm the winner!

No! I am.

Who are you?

We're the fastest engines in the hills.

I'll show you who's fastest. I'll race you down the mountain.

Look what I'm taking to Farmer McColl's farm! It's a new house for his doves.

[with the timber] Well, I'm helping build a new roof for Toby's shed.

That's exciting! Toby must be very happy!

He didn't look very happy when I told him.

Maybe he likes his old roof.

Well, I'm going to show Toby his new roof will be the best new roof ever.

Now you have the smartest shed on Sodor, Toby.

What's wrong, Toby?

It's much better than your old roof, and it hasn't got any holes.

But I liked my old roof with holes. Little birds flew into the holes to make their nests. My shed was their home too.

[picking up the pipes] This is going to take me a very long time!

We have to get through. Why don't you go and get Rocky?

No, no! Harvey is doing a fine job! We must be patient!

Emily

I don't like being patient! We have a very important job to do!

I can't lift Gordon. He's too heavy.

Edward, we need Rocky!

New-fangled nonsense!

But Edward knew this was a disaster, and he knew that Harvey couldn't lift Gordon. There was only one thing to do.

[leaves the junction] I'll go and get Rocky.

Hello, Spencer. What are you doing on Sodor?

I am to pick up Sir Topham, Lady Hatt, and the Duke and Duchess of Boxford. They are waiting at Kellsthorpe station. I am to take them to a very important tea at the Scottish castle.

[disappointedly] Why can't I take them in Annie and Clarabel?

Because you are a small engine and small engines get small jobs! I am a big engine, and big engines get big jobs!

I can go faster than the wind!

Nonsense!

[growing very cross] I'll race you to Kellsthorpe station! Then we'll see!

I'm going to wish to be grander!

I'm going to wish to be redder!

I'm going to wish to pull the mail forever and ever!

Never to have to work with Diesel again, or never wearing my snowplough, or never having to pull smelly fish!

I wished you would come home safely!

Thank you, Percy! Both of our wishes came true!

Farmer McColl needs lots of bricks, iron, and concrete. I need a strong engine to fetch them.

I can do it, sir!

You're not as strong as I am. I'll do the jobs, sir.

Gordon, you can do it. Henry, you can deliver the empty trucks.

Empty trucks?

Never mind, Henry. We know you're big and strong.

You can pull 10 trucks of sand, couldn't you?

Yes, I could.

Emily

You could pull 20 trucks of coal.

I suppose so.

You could pull 50 trucks of iron and steel because you're "Big Strong Henry".

"Big strong Henry"?! What nonsense!

You'll see.

Pah!

[at the scene of the accident] Toby, you must go to the yard to be repaired.

If I don't take the sticky toffee to the party, the children won't be able to make toffee apples.

Please, sir, I could take the sticky toffee to the party.

Very well. [firmly] But no more trying to be in fancy dress!

[after Skarloey jumps] Fancy jumping at a silly old crane! Scaredy little engine!

Skarloey felt very upset, and smaller than ever.

James was only teasing.

Scaredy engine! Scaredy engine! Clickety-clack! Don't come back!

Maybe I am a scaredy little engine.

I've never seen such a big snowman!

Neither have I.

[sees James decorated] Cinders and ashes!

Look, Thomas! Don't these flags look wonderful on me?

But you pulled the team carriages last year!

And I'm pulling them again this year because I finished all my jobs. I got to the yard first.

It's not fair!

Please, Thomas, can you take the children to the football match for me?

I'm sorry, Bertie, but I have to help James.

I can take your passengers, Bertie, and I can help James too.
