Duck quotes from Thomas & Friends

[to the slip coaches] Hello, Slippies!

[to the bigger engines, who are whistling impatiently] Stop that noise!

They won't let us in!

Duck, explain this behavior.

Beg pardon, Sir, but I'm a Great Western Engine. We do our work without fuss. But begging your pardon, Sir, Percy and I would be glad if you would inform these engines that we only take orders from you.

SILENCE! Percy and Duck, I'm pleased with your work today, but not with your behavior tonight. You have caused a disturbance. [to the big engines] As for you, you've been worse! You made the disturbance! Duck is quite right. This is my railway, and I give the orders!

Shut up! [bumps the noisy trucks hard] I'm sorry our trucks were rude to you, Diesel.

Diesel was still furious.

It's all your fault. You made them laugh at me.

Nonsense. Duck would never do that. We engines have our differences but we never talk about them to the trucks. That would be dis-dis...

Disgraceful!

Disgusting!

Despicable!

[let off a lot of steam] WHOOSH!

Keep out!

Stop fooling! I'm tired!

So are we. We're tired of you. We like Diesel. We don't like you. You tell tales about us to the trucks.

I don't!

You do!

I don't!

You DO!

The Fat Controller came to stop the noise.

Duck called me a galloping sausage!

Rusty red scrap iron!

I'm old square wheels!

Well, Duck?

Duck considered.

I only wish, Sir, that I thought of those names myself. If the dome fits...!

He made trucks laugh at us.

The Fat Director recovered. He'd been trying not to laugh himself.

Did you, Duck?

Certainly not, Sir. No steam engine would be as mean as that.

[after crashing into the barber shop] Beg pardon, sir. Excuse my intrusion.

No, I won't. You frightened my customers. I'll teach you!

And he lathered Duck's face all over. Poor Duck. Thomas was helping to pull the trucks away when the Fat Controller arrived.

I do not like engines popping through my walls!

I appreciate your feeling, but you must know that this engine and his crew have prevented a serious accident. It was a very close shave.

Oh. Oh, excuse me!

He filled a basin of water to wash Duck's face.

I'm sorry. I didn't know you were being a brave engine.

That's all right, sir. I didn't know that, either.

You were very brave, indeed. I'm proud of you!

Edward says we need... a... a depot station!

Of course! The question is...

What is a... desperation?

It's when engines tell the Fat Controller something's wrong.

Did you say "tell the Fat Controller"?

There was a long silence.

I propose that Percy be our... uh... disputation.

I?! I can't!

Rubbish, Percy! It's easy.

That's settled, then.

Poor Percy wished it wasn't.

Did you see him straining?

Positively painful.

Just pathetic! He should give up and be preserved before it's too late!

Shut up! You're all jealous. Edward's better than any of you!

You're right, Duck. Edward's old but he'll surprise us all.

[finally puffs out of Knapford] I've done it! We're off! I've done it! We're off!

[rockets past] He did it! I'll do it! He did it! I'll do it!

Gordon's train rocketed past, and was gone.

He'll knock himself to bits.

You don't understand, Donald, how much Sir Topham Hatt relies on me.

Och, aye.

I'm Great Western, and I...

Quack! Quack! Quack!

What?!

Ye hear. Quack, quack, ya go. Sounds like you're an egg layer. Now wheesh, and let an engine sleep!

Quack yourself!

[about the egg under Duck's bunker] Well, well, well! Ye must've laid it in the night, Duck. All unbeknownst!

Then Duck laughed, too.

You win, Donald. It'd take a clever engine to get the better of you!

[approaches the shed] Good morning.

The two engines had not worked with Diesel for a long time.

What are you doing here?!

Your worthy Fat - uh, Sir Topham Hatt sent me. I hope you are pleased to see me again. I am to shunt some dreadfully tiresome trucks.

Shunt where?

Where? Why from here to there. And then again, from there to here. Easy, isn't it?

With that, Diesel, as if he was to make himself quite clear, bumped some trucks hard.

OH!

GRR!

[to Diesel, after his mishap with the trucks earlier] The harbor master has told me everything. Things worked much better here before you arrived. I shall not be inviting you back! Now, Duck and Percy, I hope you won't mind having to handle the work by yourselves again.

Oh, no, Sir.

Yes, please, Sir.

I remember the first time I met those two. They nearly made my eyes pop out. Edward soon put a stop to their games.

Edward is the only one who can keep Bill and Ben in order. I sometimes call them the bees.

A good name. They're terrors when they start buzzing around.

James bustled in.

What's that, Duck, are you afraid of bees? They're only insects after all, so don't let that buzz-box diesel tell you different.

His name is BoCo, and he didn't. We–

I wouldn't care if hundreds were swarming around! I'd just blow smoke and make them buzz off!

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

[lands] Wakey-wakey!

I'm looking at the boats.

That's the regatta. Lots of boats. Lots of races. Great fun. I hover around in case I'm needed.

Do you go to the horizon?

Yes, and beyond.

I didn't know there was a beyond.

Do you go to other places at sea?

Certainly. I can land on ships, you know. Anywhere, anytime. [flies off] Goodbye!

I wouldn't drink too much of that water if I were you, Gordon. It might give you boiler-ache.

Pah! What's this? Educating Gordon Day?! First James, and now you, Duck! Big engines have big needs. Little engines are just annoying.

Don't say I didn't warn you.
