Duke quotes from Thomas & Friends

[about his journey] It's not so easy! It's not so easy! But I'll manage.

Engines come and engines go. Granpuff goes on forever.

You impertinent scallywags. Whatever are you engines coming to?

Never mind, Granpuff.

We're only young once.

Well, you'd better mind, unless you want to end up like Smudger.

Oh, Granpuff, whatever happened?!

Smudger was a showoff. [has a flashback of said engine] He rode roughly and often came off the rails. I warned him to be careful, but he took no notice.

Listen, Dukey. Who worries about a few spills?

"We do here", I said, but Smudger just laughed.

Until one day, manager said he was going to make him useful at last. Smudger stopped laughing then.

Well, why? What did he do?

He turned him into a generator. He's still out there behind our shed. He'll never move again!

We found him! We found our sleeping beauty!

Excuse me! Are you a vandal? Driver told me vandals break and smash things!

Bless you, no! We've dropped in because we couldn't find your door. Falcon and Stuart will be pleased to see you.

So they did remember!

He's here! Shh! Shh!

You woke me up! In my young days engines were...

Seen and not heard, Granpuff. We know!

We'll all be back to work tomorrow. We're glad you've come back, we can keep you in order now.

Keep me in order?! Be off with you! [Stuart and Falcon leave] Impudent scallywags.

What happened? They don't usually need 2 engines.

Well, Stuart broke down. Duke had to help him. It sounds as if he had a hard job, too.

Duke and his driver's joke had worked.

[covers himself in steam] FIDDLESTICKS!

Poor old engine! It's no good, Stuart. You can't win.

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.
