The Fat Controller quotes from Thomas & Friends

I'm sorry, sir. I was–

You are causing confusion and delay! The Duke and Duchess have no wood, straw bales, or eggs. Now I see you have them all here. Cranky is broken and you, Thomas, think it's a good time to try being a bird!

This is the finest statue I've ever seen!

And the cleanest!

Emily, you must go to Maithwaite and collect flowers for the new window-boxes…

Emily

Flowers? How lovely! I know all about flowers. I know that buttercups are yellow–

Emily! ...And then take them to Knapford Station.

Emily

Yes, sir.

Here I come! Splish… Splash… SPLOSH!

Thomas!

Thomas, you are a really useful engine. I am very proud of you!

And I am very pleased to see such a busy engine. I wasn't sure, but now I know the Fat Controller's Railway is the best!

Thomas, what is going on?! The Mayor is waiting for the Jobi wood, Edward is swinging on a bridge. logs are jumping like frogs and–

My shiny red coat is ruined!

Oh, the indignity!

No, Gordon. "Oh, the silliness!"

My hat!

My hat!

My hat!

All the Hatts are hatless.

Thomas, what are you doing?!

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!

Percy, what is making that music?

It's the calliope, Sir. We were told to take it to the Smelter's Yard, but I got it to work!

Well done, Percy! I am very proud of you! You have saved an important piece of Sodor's history.

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.

The Fat Controller was covered in cream, he was very cross indeed.

Hiro, you have caused confusion and delay, and terrible to my trousers.

I’m so... uh, so sorry, sir.

The Fat Controller was very cross.

Your passengers don’t like to be late, Thomas. You have caused confusion and delay.

I’m very sorry, sir. I was hoping to find a shortcut, but I will stick to my branch line for now on.
