A character in Thomas & Friends
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.
All the engines wanted this job.
The Fat Controller chose me to take the brand-new bandstand, and I'm ready to go. I'll be first at the Sodor Show!
I'll deliver The Fat Controller's car to the show before you!
Pah! [leaves]
Hurry up, Rocky!
I must be careful, and you must wait.
[after seeing the car in the haystack] Oh, no!
I told you I'd get to the Sodor Show first.
[Stanley arrives late at Knapford Station after getting lost in taking a shortcut, making Gordon impatient before taking his passengers to Brendam Docks]
Oh, I'm sorry I'm late. I took a shortcut, but I got lost.
Huh! I never get lost. I know the railway better than any other engine.
[to Gordon and Stanley] Some very important passengers and a group of workmen are waiting at Great Waterton. The first engine to arrive will pick up the very important passengers. The second will collect the workmen.
I need to get coal and water. See you at Great Waterton, Gordon! [chuffs cheerily away]
[Gordon races off to Brendam Docks to drop off Stanley's passengers, determined to arrive at Great Waterton first and pick up the very important passengers]
[seeing a bridge up ahead] Hooray. That must be the Great Waterton bridge.
[But as he puffs under the bridge, it was actually a repair yard where Oliver the Great Western Engine, and his break van, Toad, are having their wheels oiled]
Are you lost?
Would you like some help?
No, thank you, I'm not lost. [chuffs quickly away; becomes more worried that his shortcut is taking too long; sees another bridge up ahead] Hooray. That's the Great Waterton bridge.
[But as he puffs under the other bridge, it's actually a logging station, which he'd never been there before]
James… you're all... pink! Ha, ha! What a funny colour!
[they all laugh]
I'd hide, too if I was bright pink!
Will he blow over?
Why's he so spotty?
Does he sit down?
Scruff, it's Gordon here. Would you like to see my express carriages? They're the grandest on the island!
Thank you, Gordon. I don't think Scruff wants to see your Express.
Oh, the indignity!
Oh, the indignity!
No, Gordon. "Oh, the silliness!"
Flynn, what are you doing?!
I was saving Gordon.
[gasps] Gordon doesn't need saving.
You're not on fire, Gordon?
No, I'm not.
But I'm wet through!
But Sir, I am Gordon and I pull the express.
I know who you are, Gordon.
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!
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.
Umm… Gordon? Have you got your, uh… brakes on?
Maybe…
Well, take them off, will you? How can I push you with your brakes on?
Sorry, Gordon, are you okay? That stone gave you a nasty thump.
Yes, Paxton, I’m fine. You can’t damage a big strong engine like be so easily.
You should be checked for damage though, Gordon.
Nonsense! I have to hurry. The Express must not be late!
