Toby quotes from Thomas & Friends

[to Mavis] I can't waste time playing "Hunt the Trucks" with you. Take them yourself!

Fizzling fireboxes, James! You're a big pink engine! [laughs]

I'm not scared of the Whistling Woods. I'll puff straight on like Thomas would!

[to Hannah] A carriage like you isn't built to go so fast!

Come on, Grandfather! Do look at this engine.

That's a tram engine, Stephen.

Is it electric?

[angrily] WHOOSH!

Shh! You've offended him!

But trams are electric, aren't they?

They are mostly, but this is a steam tram.

May we go in it, Grandfather? Please?

[to the guard] STOP!

Hip-Hip-Hooray!

But Toby didn't sing.

Electric, indeed. Electric, indeed.

[eyes Toby and Henrietta] Ugh! What dirty objects!

At last, Toby lost patience.

[offended] James, why are you red?

I am a splendid engine. Ready for anything. You never see my paint dirty.

Oh! That's why you once needed bootlaces, to be ready, I suppose.

Look here, Percy. Whatever is that dirty object?

That's James. Didn't you know?

It's James' shape. But James is a splendid red engine, and you never see his paint dirty.

James pretended he hadn't heard.

Hello, Thomas. You look splendid.

Yes, indeed. Blue is the only proper color for an engine.

Oh, I don't know. I like my brown paint.

I've always been green. I wouldn't wanna be any other color, either.

Well, well, anyway, blue is the only color for a really useful engine. Everyone knows that.

Percy said no more. He just grinned at Toby.

Fancy allowing cows to break his train!

They wouldn't dare do that to us. We'd show them!

Toby was cross.

You couldn't help it, Edward. They've never met cows. I have, and I know the trouble they are!

Some days later, Gordon rushed through Edward's Station.

Poop, Poop! Mind the Cows! Hurry, Hurry, Hurry!

Hello, Percy. I see Daisy's left the milk again.

I'll have to make a special journey with it, I suppose. Anyone would think I had nothing to do.

Tell you what, I'll take the milk. You take my trucks.

And every year, on the date of the accident, it runs again as a warning to others, plunging into the gap, shrieking like a lost soul!

Percy, what are you talking about?

The ghost train. Driver saw it last night.

Where?

He didn't say. Oh, it makes my wheels wobble to think of it!

Ha! You're just a silly little engine. I'm not scared!

Percy's had an accident!

Poor engine! Botheration! That means I'll be late!

They've cleared the line for you, but there's something worse!

Out with it, Toby! I can't wait all evening!

I've just seen something! [stutters] It looked like Percy's ghost! It said it was coming here to warn us!

Ha! Who cares?! Don't be frightened, Toby. I'll take care of you.

[imitates a ghost] Peep! Peep! Pip-Pip-Pip-PEEP! Let me in! Let me in!

No! No! Not by the smoke on my chimney-chim-chim!

I'll chuff, and I'll puff, and I'll break your door in!

You know, little Toby, I'm an important engine. Everyone knows it. I'm as regular as clockwork. Never late, always on time. That's me!

Says you!

The express is late, and it's got two engines! I think James couldn't pull it on his own, so Toby had to help him.

Never mind, James. They're only joking.

[crossly] HA!

Toby just smiled.
