James quotes from Thomas & Friends

James, your racing around has caused confusion and delay.

Yes sir, sorry sir.

I've meant to be taken the Duke and Duchess to an important lunch. But my way's blocked by all these smelly rubbish trucks!

Emily

Flatten my funnel!

Someone will have to move them.

Emily

I suppose I'll have to move them. Ugh!

Emily

Can you help me move these rubbish trucks?

Me?! Certainly not!

Emily

Can you help me move these rubbish trucks, James?

UGH! No, thank you!

I'm still waiting.

Emily

If Whiff were here now, he'd be happy to help me. He wanted to be my friend but I wasn't kind to him. I must find Whiff, and say sorry.

I still have lots of work to do. Can you help me, James?

Sorry, Percy. It's much more important that I look smart. Now I need to be polished.

James, you are a very hard working and really useful engine.

You're not cross with me, sir. Even though I'm covered in coal dust and quarry dust and fish!

What matters, James? It's that because you helped all your friends and safely delivered your important passenger. Well done!

James was very happy, and his friends all thought James was still the star of the show.

I thought you were collecting trucks of presents.

You're supposed to be at the airport!

Edward has my lucky trucks. I must find him.

Don't worry. I'll have the line cleared in no time!

Bust my boiler! You've broken down, Thomas!

No, I haven't.

You must've done. Otherwise you wouldn't be at the fitter's yard. What a shame you're not a smart and useful engine like me!

STOP!

Bust my boiler! I said you were a broken down little engine!

I am! So I need your help. Can you take the children to their concert?

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!

When we're the rescue engines on Sodor for the day, we're very busy engines here on the railway, stand back, watch out, make way.

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!

Thanks for your help today, Toad.

And thank you very much, sir.

Call me James.

Hello, Mr. Oliver, I...

Hello, Toad! You'll never believe what happened to me today. Let me tell you all about it.

Actually, Oliver, I think you should ask Toad about the adventure he had today. [whistles and leaves]

You, Toad? You had an adventure?

Well, yes. As it happens, it all started when I was coupled to Mr. James, but he's started to go a bit too fast. By the time, we reached Gordon's hill, we were going so fast, my wheels were shaking!

Well, that doesn't sound like more like an adventure, Toad.

But that's not all! That's what when we came across a branch, fallen on the line!

No!

Yes! The thing was we were going so fast, we couldn't stop!

[gasps in shock] So, what happened next?

That's what it got really scary.

This is absurd! None of us know what job Dowager Hatt wants us to do next!

We’re all stuck here, waiting for her to finish pruning her pelargoniums!

Are you okay, James?

I think so. How's my paint looking? I'm really in trouble now.

You can say that again, James.
