Gordon quotes from Thomas & Friends

Wake up, James. It's nearly time for the express. What are you doing, odd jobs? Ah, well. We all have to begin somewhere. Don't we? Run along and get my coaches. Don't be late.

You don't understand, little Thomas. We tender engines have a position to keep up. It doesn't matter where you go, but we are important. And for the Fat Controller to make us do shunting, fetch coaches, and go on some of those dirty sidings, it's... It's... Well, it's not the proper thing.

[about to crash into Percy] OH! GET OUT OF MY WAY!

Why should Henry have a new shape? A shape good enough for me is good enough for him. He goes gallivanting off to Crewe, leaving us to do his work, and comes back saying how happy he feels. It's disgraceful! And there's another thing: Henry whistles too much! No respectable engine ever whistles loudly at stations. It isn't wrong, but we just don't do it!

Come on! Come on! I can go faster than this! Sick, me?! Never!

[after hearing Botti's scream] Definitely a coloratura!

Edward is a waste of steam.

[after beginning to rattle] Oh, dear! Oh, dear! Diesel was right - I am falling apart! What if The Fat Controller scraps me?

[after hearing Thomas' story] You wouldn't have a problem if you were an Express engine! You'd go really fast and get the job done in double-quick time like me! I'll be in time to see the fair!

[to Douglas] Thank you for helping me, today. Even though an important engine like me needs help.

I'm sorry, Stanley. This was all my fault. I wanted to take a shortcut. I wanted to pick up the very important passengers. But now I want you to collect them.

Perishing pistons!

I don't want anyone to see me with funny, frumpy Ferdinand! I am Gordon! I am fastest and best, and I pull the express!

[to Thomas] A little engine's "toot toot" isn't going to bother a big engine like me.

Young Winston is heading for trouble… Big trouble.
