You should be at work.

[shows off his new coat of paint] Look at me! Don't I look fine?
You should be at work.
Looking splendid is not the same as being Really Useful.
But best of all is being Really Useful and splendid - like me!
[after his accident with the difficult bend] I can't go around the difficult bend. I'm not a useful engine without Annie and Clarabel.
You are a really useful engine, and a jolly good friend!
You have saved my new station. You are a very brave and useful engine.
Thank you, sir.
Where is Percy? He has caused confusion and delay!
He just left very quickly, sir!
He heard you at the sheds, sir. He thought you were sending him to be scrapped!
I think I need a word with Percy. You must all help me find him!
I told you to go and get your snowplough! Now look what's happened!
You should be sorry for bossing me about!
I am sorry - sorry you didn't listen to me!
[notices the tree on Emily's flatbed] Is that part of the surprise?
That is for me to know and you to find out.
[The Fat Controller's engines are talking about Thomas' surprise]
I can't wait.
He'll love it.
[Thomas arrives]
Shh!
Don't tell Thomas!
Hmph! If they won't tell me, I don't want to know! [leaves]
James has broken down. You must collect him, Thomas and bring him back or the fireworks display will be cancelled.
Oh, no! Then all the children will be sad!
You have beaten Gordon's record!
Of course. I'm faster and finer than all the engines on Sodor put together.
Spencer's just a big silver showoff.
[The Fat Controller shows up]
Spencer will take the Duke and Duchess to their Summer House. Another engine will take their furniture.
Please, sir, may I go?
You all have other work to do. Edward will take the furniture.
Fancy sending a back engine to do an express engine's job!
He'll lose the race and let the old railway down!
Spencer has a bigger boiler, but that just means more hot air.
An honest steamie can beat a pouty puffer any day!
[slowly puffs out of Knapford] Will do my best. Will do my best.
Arr, would you be needing a hand there, matey?
[Thomas hears the band playing and the cheering from the workmen]
No, thank you, Salty. I can do it on my own.
Stop, Thomas! You have broken my eggs!
Cinders and ashes! I'm sorry. I just wanted to be really useful.
You have all worked hard and been really useful engines.
I've only made one journey, sir. And I've broken Farmer McColl's eggs.
But most of the eggs were delivered safely. Farmer McColl gave the broken ones to me, and I love having scrambled eggs for my tea! You, Thomas, are a really useful engine.
[after the crash] Oops! Sorry!
Never mind, me hearty! The smell reminds me of the sea!
[spots a water tower obstructing her line] Oh, no! Hurry up! [whistles impatiently]
Not if you ask like that!
I've got an urgent delivery!
[Elizabeth returns to try clearing the track, and Emily crossly blows her whistle again, Thomas arrives]
Hello.
She won't do a thing I tell her.
That's because you're a "big bossy boiler". You should try asking nicely for a change.
[takes a deep breath] I'm sorry I was rude, but can you help me get this timber to Farmer McColl's? Please? It's to help the baby calves.
Why certainly! I'll get your track cleared in no time!
[she pushes the water tower very hard and soon clears the tracks]
Thank you!
