Diesel quotes from Thomas & Friends

When the Fat Controller sees how good I am, he'll get rid of steam engines once and for all!

What are you doing, James? You're a big pink steamie! [laughs]

Who's calling me a monster?

Pulling those trucks/cars will make him a stinky engine, not a Really Useful one. Phooey, You’re a stinky engine already. [chuckles]

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!

[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!

The Fat Controller wants you to work at the Smelter's.

Me?! But I'm the pride of the Cement Works.

Not anymore. The Fat Controller says I'm better than you.

It's not fair! I love working here!

[after Diesel shunts him under the hopper] Cinders and ashes!

What's that horrible smell? Oh, it's just a stinky old steam engine.

How rude!

No wonder the Fat Controller is thinking of scrapping steamies.

I don't believe you.

Ahoy there, me hearties! Fresh diesel from the Mainland!

Haha! This new fuel makes my axles tingle.

Coal doesn't make my axles tingle. I wish I had fresh fuel from the depot.

[about the new fuel] Oh, my!

I'm the fastest engine in the world! Look at me go!

I feel sick.

[breaking down as well] So do I.

[eyes Diesel on his line] Out of my way! Express train coming through!

You steamies are old and clapped out! When the Fat Controller realises this, you will all be scrapped!

Scrapped?! Pah! I'm as fast as I ever was!

Emily

Oh, look rattler Gordon's here! He's pulling the "click-clong express"!

I hope your "click clong" gets better soon. See you later, rattler. [leaves]

You're looking very cheerful, Thomas.

Haven't you heard about the curse and the cliffs?

[nervously] No.

Whenever the first engine of the holiday season goes around the headland, a terrible fault comes down over the cliffs. The engine loses its way and nobody knows where it goes.

It's the ghost engine, sir! And it's come to get me!

It's not a ghost engine! That's Thomas! He's a Really Useful Engine! Thomas, you have done a splendid job! You deserve a special washdown!

Thank you, sir.

[sees Emily and The Fat Controller] Now I'm in trouble.

Diesel, where are Gordon's special coaches?!

They're in a siding, sir.

Take Emily there at once!

Yes, sir.

Emily

[sees Diesel sputtering] What's wrong with your engine?

My engine's old. All that rushing 'round has worn it out.

Emily

Then you shouldn't have taken the coaches.

And you should have listened to me!

Emily

Why should I listen to smelly old Diesel?!

Because Gordon's not the only one to set a record. I've set one too.

Emily

Have you?!

I've shunted more trucks in one day than any other diesel!
