Thomas quotes from Thomas & Friends

Hello, Thomas. What are you doing?

It's Alice's birthday. I want to get all her presents up to High Farm in good time.

Another storm warning, I'm afraid! High winds on the way, and heavy rain! Heavy rain can cause landslides on that hilly route! [leaves]

High winds don't bother me...

...or me. I'll come as your back engine.

No, thank you, Rosie. I can do it on my own.

[seeing Thomas stuck] It's meeeeeee! I'll go and get help.

Wait a minute! Please, will you deliver Alice's presents for me?

Rosie was very happy.

Of course I will!

The admiral is always looking for the lost pirate treasure of Sodor.

Pirates?!

Emily

Treasure?!

Yes, but no one has ever found it. First, find the eagle in the mountains. It's beak will point to the clouds, not in the sky. Then those clouds will lead to the skull and crossbones. And there, you'll find the treasure, me hearties.

Eagle? Clouds? Skull and crossbones? I'm sure I could solve those clues.

I am very proud to declare the new maritime museum open!

[sees the last clue] That's it! The pirate treasure's right here.

Emily

Don't be silly!

Everyone knows it's just a silly old story!

I followed all the clues.

Then you have found the skull and crossbones. Someone get me a shovel.

The pirate treasure will be the most important thing in the whole museum.

Thomas, you have made this the best opening ever!

Are you the famous storyteller?

I like to think so. You must be Thomas the Tank Engine. Will you please show me the sights of Sodor?

Of course!

We didn't visit any sights. I had to take James' passengers to Maithwaite station, Emily's flour to the bakery, and pull Percy out of the water.

But it's a wonderful idea for a story! I should write all about your day, Thomas, and how you helped your friends.

Take my carriages and shunt them away.

I will when I shunted these trucks.

I'm faster, shinier, and stronger than you, Thomas. You are just a little tank engine!

[eyes Hector] Oh! Do we have to shunt and fill that big truck, Thomas?

Yes, but he doesn't want to be shunted. His name is-

Keep away!

KEEP AWAY!

No, I won't! You are causing confusion and delay! You really are horrid! [biffs Hector, causing him to hit a set of buffers and derails]

[rolls alongside Hector] I'm sorry if I biffed you so hard, but why don't you want to be shunted?

Because I'm scared.

Why?

I'm new, and I'm scared because haven't been filled with coal before. I don't know what it feels like. That's why I didn't want to be shunted.

How many spaceships did you find?

It wasn't a spaceship. It was Jeremy the plane coming in to land. Gordon, I need your help. You are faster and stronger than any engine. If we share the trucks, the mail can still be delivered by breakfast.

Where are your trucks?

Here they are, sir. Loaded up and ready to go!

The little engines laughed, and The Thin Controller laughed too.

Thomas, that was a good joke! You are a really funny engine!

I'm going to be in a magic show. I've come to collect something for the grand finale.

How jolly!

[looks at the phone booth] That must be it.

Thomas, I see you have decided that full steam is better than full sail!

Yes, sir!

Today, I am to look after a new engine.

That's a special job, me hearty. [sees the engine arrive] Here he is.

I'm Billy. Let's go.

Wait, Billy. We can't go yet. We have to wait for The Fat Controller.

Why?

Because he tells us what we are to do.

Billy, you have a very busy day. First, you must take empty chicken vans to the farm and bring chickens back to the docks. Then, you are to deliver diesel fuel to the quarry, and lastly, you have to take coal to the depot.

Yes, sir. Right away, sir.

Thomas, you must show Billy how to be a Really Useful Engine.

Billy, you must pull the chickens slowly and smoothly.

I know that!

Don't pump your pistons before you are ready to leave. It wastes coal and water, and first you must take on enough coal and water for a busy day.

Thomas! Stop telling me what to do! You are a very bossy engine!

He thinks you're a bossy boiler, me hearty.

Goodbye, Billy. The Fat Controller will be very pleased you have finished all your jobs.

Thomas, you're not a bossy boiler. You're a Really Useful Engine, and I really enjoyed working with you.

[looks at the ship in the horizon] The ship will be late.

Let's play a game while we wait.

What should we play?

Hide and Peep! You go and hide, Percy. And when I find you I will peep loudly!

You will never find me! I am the best hider ever!

Well, I'm the best finder!

Can I play?

You are much too tall to hide!
