The Fat Controller quotes from Thomas & Friends

Oh, it's you. Have you learned to drive properly yet?

She's in trouble now.

Elizabeth! My first lorry! I thought you had been lost!

May I go, Sir?

I only need one engine. Not 2.

I am only one engine, Sir. And I would like to work with Duck.

The Fat Controller was surprised, but agreed.

Won't you miss one another? I know I'd miss Annie and Clarabel.

I'll work better on my own!

I have work to do.

Henry has had an accident and have been sent for repairs. There are no other engines available. So Diesel will help until Henry returns.

Yes sir.

But they weren't happy. The engines didn't like Diesel he was always being rude and always showing off.

I hope Henry's mended soon.

He moves more trucks than three Diesels put together.

Trucks are no one's friends.

Well, Gordon, you wanted to show Salty a thing or two, and you've certainly done that. You've shown him how silly it is to ignore "go slow" signs.

Sorry, Sir.

Thomas, meet Emily.

Hello, Emily.

Emily

Hello, Thomas.

Emily, collect your coaches. You and your driver must learn the line.

Emily

Yes, sir.

Is collecting the Queen of Sodor important work, too?

Very important work. Do I have a volunteer?

Very important work? I'll do it!

Then it's settled. She's waiting at the canal.

Thank you, sir!

The refreshment lady needs another place for another tea room.

I can find her a beautiful place.

I knew it. It'll be a piece of cake.

Tea rooms don't leave in cakes.

It's just my way of saying it would be fun and easy to find the right place.

Oh, Arthur, what a mess!

What happened here?

The trucks were singing. I told them to stop but they made me go too fast.

Please, sir. It's my fault.

Arthur, it's fruitless for me to say more, but, Thomas, you must help clear up this mess.

[after Rheneas has stopped] It was the best school trip ever!

You gave the children a wonderful trip. You really are a very useful engine.

Oh, thank you, sir!

Fergus, explain yourself.

I ran away. It's scary here.

Diesel told Fergus that you wanted him at the Smelter's forever.

Nonsense, Fergus. You are the pride of the Cement Works. I shall send Diesel to the Smelter's, and you can go back to the Cement Works tomorrow.

Oh, thank you, sir!

Pegasus? That's a funny name for a horse.

It's the name of a flying horse in a very old story.

Flying horse?! Horses can't fly!

Engine trouble. Harold's not going anywhere today.

But I've been looking forward to the grand opening all week!

And I, my dear, will find a solution.

Topham, you cannot be serious! Me, ride in this?!

The wind direction is perfect. We'll be there in no time.

My hat is ruined!

So is mine.

[to Duncan, after crossing the collapsed bridge earlier] That was very irresponsible.

Yes, sir. Sorry, sir, and Rusty, you were very brave.

Yes, Rusty. You really are a useful engine.

Thank you, sir.

You have saved my new station. You are a very brave and useful engine.

Thank you, sir.
