Henry quotes from Thomas & Friends

[noticing a broken crate] What happened, Cranky?

That crate slipped off my hook!

What if the toys arrive late for the grand opening? The children will be very disappointed.

I'll go as soon as the line's clear.

I know! I can collect the toys from the factory then I'll pick up the children.

You won't be able to pull all the trucks of toys as well as Annie and Clarabel!

Don't worry, I can do it!

[stuck on Gordon's hill] You were right, Henry. This load is too heavy. I should've listened to you. And now, I know I need your help.

What can I do?

You take the trucks to the toy shop, and I'll pick up the children. But we must hurry.

Nothing went right.

Don't worry. I'm sure The Fat Controller's mother enjoyed the cake!

[shocked] The cake?! I steamed off before they could unload it! Now The Fat Controller's mother won't even be able to have her birthday tea!

I think hard enough. Another idea will come.

Of course it will!

Blow hard, Percy. Like this. [whistles low and long]

Emily

I find "toot! toot!"'s much better. [whistles]

[makes a long whistle] No, no, no! Slow and strong is always best.

That's it! Our whistles! I've had another idea.

[after running over the flagpole by mistake] Oops. Sorry, matey.

I wasn't expecting to see the flagpole down here!

Hello, Henry.

You're very nice, Trevor. But you wouldn't make a very good flagpole.

Where are you going in such a hurry?

I thought friends helped each other, but they were all too busy to help me.

That's because they've all been helping me!

Toby was surprised.

I broke down, so Mavis brought me my special coal, Thomas took my passengers, and Salty brought me a new piston rod.

They were all helping you! Is there anything I can do to help you, Henry?

But then you won't get to the farm to see the animals.

It doesn't matter. Helping a friend is much more important. What can I do?

I don't know if I'll be able to move them, but I'm going to try.

Thank you, Toby! Sorry about your afternoon off!

Are you feeling alright?

I didn't get my special coal this morning. My firebox feels funny.

I'm sorry you didn't set a new record today.

And I'm sorry I took your coal.

Who holds the old record?

I do!

Farmer McColl needs lots of bricks, iron, and concrete. I need a strong engine to fetch them.

I can do it, sir!

You're not as strong as I am. I'll do the jobs, sir.

Gordon, you can do it. Henry, you can deliver the empty trucks.

Empty trucks?

Never mind, Henry. We know you're big and strong.

You can pull 10 trucks of sand, couldn't you?

Yes, I could.

Emily

You could pull 20 trucks of coal.

I suppose so.

You could pull 50 trucks of iron and steel because you're "Big Strong Henry".

"Big strong Henry"?! What nonsense!

You'll see.

Pah!

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!

[after the trucks are broken] I'm not going anywhere without my lucky trucks.

But they're broken, and if you don't collect the presents soon the children won't haven anything to open in the morning.

I'll have to get to the airport somehow, even without my lucky trucks!

[coming to Tidmouth Sheds with bad news] A summer storm struck Sodor last night. The wishing tree was hit by lightning. [Gordon and Toby were both upset to hear that, but Henry was most upset of all] Some special woodsmen are arriving at Brendam Docks. [turns to Henry] Henry, you are to take them to the wishing tree right away. They have to be back at Brendam Docks by teatime. That's when their boat leaves.

Yes, sir. [puffs quickly away; comes up to a junction and decides to take the track that passes the wishing tree]

Sometimes, Henry, special woodsmen have to cut trees down.

I don't suppose you've seen Sir Topham Hatt, have you?

He hasn't turned up for luncheon. And if there's one thing I can't stand, it's lateness!

Maybe the... abominable snowman has taken him.

[frightened] The abominable snowman!

Abominable snowman?! [record scratch] Utter tish-tosh! Come on, Thomas.

Yes, ma'am. [laughs]

Leave us alone, you abominable...!

Sir?! But you're not the abominable snowman!

Of course I'm not!

No. You're the Abominable Controller!

Oh.

Where have you been?! You missed our luncheon!

Uh, sorry, Mother. I ran into a bit of trouble in the snow.

Oh, Henry, you really are a very brave engine. Were you protecting Spencer from the abominable snowman? [laughs]

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!
