Spencer quotes from Thomas & Friends

Oh, dear, James. Bright pink really isn't your colour!

A little bit of fog won't even be able to bother a silver engine, I'm Spencer the Grand, I'm a real engine, I'll might need to puff perfectly like a real railway engine.

[to Sir Topham Hatt] Perhaps, you'd let me take the Deputy Minister home, after all! I can learn from my mistakes, sir. [to the Deputy Minister] I just need to be given one more chance.

Don't forget the water!

Who cares?!

He'll be in trouble soon.

Run out of water?

Yes! I must have a leaky tank!

Perhaps. But we'd better hurry. Everyone is waiting.

You have beaten Gordon's record!

Of course. I'm faster and finer than all the engines on Sodor put together.

Spencer's just a big silver showoff.

Spencer will take the Duke and Duchess to their Summer House. Another engine will take their furniture.

Please, sir, may I go?

You all have other work to do. Edward will take the furniture.

Fancy sending a back engine to do an express engine's job!

He'll lose the race and let the old railway down!

Spencer has a bigger boiler, but that just means more hot air.

An honest steamie can beat a pouty puffer any day!

[slowly puffs out of Knapford] Will do my best. Will do my best.

Hello, Spencer. What are you doing on Sodor?

I am to pick up Sir Topham, Lady Hatt, and the Duke and Duchess of Boxford. They are waiting at Kellsthorpe station. I am to take them to a very important tea at the Scottish castle.

[disappointedly] Why can't I take them in Annie and Clarabel?

Because you are a small engine and small engines get small jobs! I am a big engine, and big engines get big jobs!

I can go faster than the wind!

Nonsense!

[growing very cross] I'll race you to Kellsthorpe station! Then we'll see!

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.

Take my carriages and shunt them away.

I will when I shunted these trucks.

I'm faster, shinier, and stronger than you, Thomas. You are just a little tank engine!

Hello Rescue Team! I have the special special of bringing you Stafford, the electric shunting engine. Say "hello", Stafford.

We may be missing something here, Spencer, but there's no one with you.

The visitors will wait a long time for their afternoon tea if Stephen is given the job!

I'll have you know they used to call me the Rocket, because I was so speedy!

Ha! Compared to a horse and cart, maybe!

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]

Spencer! Explain yourself at once!

Thomas and Phillip must've got our coaches mixed up, sir!

Is that what happened, Gordon?

Yes, Sir. But it wouldn't have happened if Spencer hadn't been at my platform!

Well, you told me that special engines always leave from platform 1!

Well, I may have given him that impression, Sir, but I didn't...

Oh, enough excuses. You are both to blame. Your arguments and racing have caused confusion and delay. And you brought the express passengers here where they didn't want to go!

Sorry, Sir.

Yes. Sorry, Sir.
