Stepney quotes from Thomas & Friends

Everyone's been so kind, but my railway is so short and I do miss a good long run.

I think you should tell driver, too. I'm sure he'll understand.

Shunted, and on my own branch too! It's a disgrace!

I'm sorry, I was a special.

Why?

An important passenger arrived just as you left. He ordered a special train and Duck let me take it. We had a splendid run but...

But it can make an engine nervous not to know the line.

Exactly! You're such an expert.

This made Thomas feel much better. He couldn't be cross anymore, and instead began telling Stepney all about his branch line.

Stop!

But Stepney didn't hear them.

[to his trucks] Come along! Come along!

Our one and only ball!

Hello! You're early! That's one in the headlamp for old diesel.

James says he's sick as boiler sludge and sulking in the shed.

Serves him right for saying we're out of date.

We're glad you're here to help us.

Are these my trucks?

Only some of them. There's masses more in the sidings.

The more the merrier.

Got you this time, Stepney! You'll make very fine scrap, indeed. Buffer him, Bert!

The diesels took him to the large smelter shed.

Bye-bye, Stepney! [laugh]

Stepney looked up. Above him was a huge grabber.

This engine's not for scrapping!

The grabber wasn't listening. But just as it was about to grab hold of him, it stopped. There stood The Fat Controller.

It's a good thing I've chosen to visit this yard tonight. Saving you from scrap is becoming a habit, Stepney. Please, stop it!

Yes, Sir! But I have learned something.

What's that?

There's no place like home!

And that's exactly where you're going now.

Bluebells forever!

[thinking] He's tooting at my funfair/carnival special!

[thinking] He's whistling at my funfair/carnival special!

Oh, my! (US only)
