Thomas quotes from Thomas & Friends

Two busy boilers are always better than one.

What did he...?

...Say?

Search me.

I hope the photographer will take some photographs of me delivering the mail!

I'll be photographed because I am the brightest red engine on the island!

And I will be photographed because I am the #1 tank engine!

No, Thomas. I will be photographed more than you because I am Gordon! I'm fastest and best and pull the express!

Phewey! You're the stinkiest steamie I've ever smelled!

I may be stinky, but I'm being really useful! Bye Diesel!

Thomas, your silly tricks didn’t surprise me, or make me laugh, and you have spoiled my special, I told you that Sodor Surprise Day was silly, now I don’t like it at all.

Then The Fat Controller arrived. He was stern.

Thomas, you have caused confusion and delay, there are no more fireworks for the party, and you have not picked up the bunting. If we don’t have any decorations or any entertainment, we will have to cancel the party.

Thomas felt terrible.

I’m sorry, sir.

I think I might have found something.

We don't have time to find things, Winston.

You know something, Thomas? I think there might be 3 ways of doing things.

Really?

The Great Western Way", the wrong way and... "The Thomas Way"! But "The Great Western Way" is usually the best.

Don't be cross, Thomas. Should I tell you my secret?

What secret?

I've been re-routed. Now I take a shortcut, so my route is much quicker!

The Fat Controller was very cross.

Your passengers don’t like to be late, Thomas. You have caused confusion and delay.

I’m very sorry, sir. I was hoping to find a shortcut, but I will stick to my branch line for now on.

You're not Mavis and Diesel!

I never said we were, did I?

I would've noticed if you had.

I don't suppose you've seen Sir Topham Hatt, have you?

He hasn't turned up for luncheon. And if there's one thing I can't stand, it's lateness!

Maybe the... abominable snowman has taken him.

[frightened] The abominable snowman!

Abominable snowman?! [record scratch] Utter tish-tosh! Come on, Thomas.

Yes, ma'am. [laughs]

Leave us alone, you abominable...!

Sir?! But you're not the abominable snowman!

Of course I'm not!

No. You're the Abominable Controller!

Oh.

Where have you been?! You missed our luncheon!

Uh, sorry, Mother. I ran into a bit of trouble in the snow.

Oh, Henry, you really are a very brave engine. Were you protecting Spencer from the abominable snowman? [laughs]

Thomas and James, I am giving you both a yellow card!

A yellow card? What does that mean, Sir?

It is a warning. I asked you to work together today, but instead, you competed against one another. One more mistake today, and it's a red card for both of you! In a game of soccer, a red card means you're sent off. You're out of the game.

We don't wanna be "out of the game", Sir.

Quite. After the match, you must work together to take everyone home, regardless of what side they are on, red or blue.

Or green! [laughs]

Bulgy!? But... I thought you'd been turned into a hen house.

Well, only for a while, then I was a mobile vegetable stand. And now I am back in service! [laughs] And if you don't mind my saying so, we'd all be better off if everyone simply used roads instead of railways.

Now, now, Bulgy. Don't go getting all anti-rail again, or I might find some chickens who need a place to live.

[nervously] Yes, Sir. Sorry, Sir.

You have to be sensible if you want to stay safe!
