Percy quotes from Thomas & Friends

James, you must be a busy bee.

Do you mean I have to be painted yellow and black?

Yes, James!

But why?!

Because I am controller.

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.

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!

Look, Henry! If Gordon sees you pulling 5 heavy trucks, he'll see just how strong you are!

Put those trucks back! Those are for Farmer McColl! I'm collecting them later!

He's not as strong as you are!

I've never seen such a big snowman!

Neither have I.

I still have lots of work to do. Can you help me, James?

Sorry, Percy. It's much more important that I look smart. Now I need to be polished.

I've seen a spaceship!

Pah! What a silly little engine!

Percy, will you tell me how to deliver the mail?

Of course I will! I deliver the parcels in a special order. I always start with the delivery that is furthest away. Then I work my way back to Tidmouth Sheds.

[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!

[about The Fat Controller] Bust my boiler! Where is he, Thomas?

FOUND YOU!

That's not fair!

I'm sorry. Hide again. This time, I won't trick you.

Hank looks as strong as a giant.

I'm sure he isn't stronger than a Sodor engine.

Now, Thomas, I have three jobs for you. First, you must take new machines from the docks to the factory. Then, you are to pick up stone from the quarry and deliver it to the shunting yard. And lastly, you must pick up an old tractor from Farmer McColl's and take it to the repair yard.

Yes, sir.

And you must take Hank with you. Hank must see the important sights of Sodor. Be back by teatime for Hank's welcome party at Knapford.

[buffers up to the machine cars as Hank puffs alongside him] Hello!

[cheerfully] Howdy, Thomas! Now you look like one of the finest little engines I've ever seen.

James… you're all... pink! Ha, ha! What a funny colour!

I'd hide, too if I was bright pink!

Will he blow over?

Why's he so spotty?

Does he sit down?
