James quotes from Thomas & Friends

Little red piggy in the middle!

Just like Percy!

I'm not like Percy! I'm not a middle engine, and I'm not moving!

[frozen] Hello, J-J-J-J-James!

SCARY JACK FROST!

You look good enough to eat.

Bon-bon Percy!

Choc-ice on wheels!

Disgraceful!

Speed isn't everything.

But being reliable and useful is.

You slow engines will never understand, because you'll never go as fast as me.

[after his wild ride] Sorry for overtaking you back there, Gordon.

Overtake me? I didn't notice.

You didn't notice the fastest engine on the Island of Sodor?

Yes. I am the fastest.

Gordon doesn't have to go as fast as a jet engine. He's a steam engine.

But he's still full of hot air!

Worry wheels!

Fussy funnel!

[after Percy has splashed mud on Gordon] Keep your dirt away from me! I'm collecting the mayor today!

I should do that.

Really? You need a washdown first!

Pah!

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!

We could have a contest for the Best Dressed Engine.

A contest! I'm bound to win any contest!

You will have to be decorated. This is a Best Dressed Engine contest!

Not me! You'd never catch me looking so ridiculous!

[shows off his new coat of paint] Look at me! Don't I look fine?

You should be at work.

Looking splendid is not the same as being Really Useful.

But best of all is being Really Useful and splendid - like me!

I can't wait.

He'll love it.

Shh!

Don't tell Thomas!

Hmph! If they won't tell me, I don't want to know! [leaves]

The sunlight here makes my dome sparkle.

It makes my red paint look shinier than ever!

Emily

And my wheels glimmer.

You have beaten Gordon's record!

Of course. I'm faster and finer than all the engines on Sodor put together.

Spencer's just a big silver showoff.

Spencer will take the Duke and Duchess to their Summer House. Another engine will take their furniture.

Please, sir, may I go?

You all have other work to do. Edward will take the furniture.

Fancy sending a back engine to do an express engine's job!

He'll lose the race and let the old railway down!

Spencer has a bigger boiler, but that just means more hot air.

An honest steamie can beat a pouty puffer any day!

[slowly puffs out of Knapford] Will do my best. Will do my best.

Emily

It doesn't matter if you are late.

You must wait your turn!

Emily

Express trains don't wait.
