Thomas & Friends quotes

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.

It's Skarloey. What's he doing here?

Skarloey was pleased to see Edward.

I've been sent here for a rest. I was put in this shed so that I could see everything and not be lonely, but I do miss Rheneas. He's going to be mended.

I wish I could be mended too, and pull coaches again.

Just then, some workmen arrived.

We're going to take you to the works now, Edward. Come along.

Goodbye, Skarloey! Your railway is a lovely line!

Oh, it is! It is! You've cheered me up, Edward! Goodbye!

[after reaching the station] Old engines can't pull trains like the young ones can.

They can if they're mended, old faithful, and that's what's going to happen to you. You deserve it!

Whatever next?! Those aren't coaches. They're cattle trucks!

OOH! What a horrid engine!

It's not what I'm used to.

Hello. Who are you?

I'm Gordon. Who are you?

I'm Sir Handel. I've heard of you. You're an express engine! So am I, but I'm used to new coaches, not these cattle trucks. Do you have new coaches? [observes Gordon's train] I see you do. We must have a chat. Sorry I can't stop. We must keep time, you know.

Gordon was speechless!

[to Peter Sam] This won't do, youngster. I can't be kept waiting. If you're late tonight, I'll go off and leave your passengers behind.

What do you mean by leaving me behind?

I'm sorry, Refreshment Lady, but Henry said he might leave without us!

Then, the refreshment lady laughed.

You silly engine! Henry was teasing you! He wouldn't have gone without our passengers. He's a guaranteed connection!

Well! Where's that Henry?!

But Henry had chortled away.

No one understands our feelings, and if you were ill, you couldn't shunt trucks, could you?

Good idea! I'll try it!

I'm sorry about your accident. I always stand well back. Trucks don't like me.

Why didn't you warn me?!

I didn't think.

You never do. You can start thinking now while you're doing Peter Sam's work as well as your own. That'll teach you to pretend you are ill.

Sir Handel did start thinking... about Gordon.

[stuck in the tunnel] I'm a plain blunt engine! I speak as I find! Tunnels should be tunnels and not rabbit holes! This railway is no good at all!

Don't be silly! This tunnel is quite big enough for engines who don't rock and roll.

[to Duncan] Listen to me, there is nothing wrong with that tunnel. You stuck in it because you tried to do rock and roll. Tunnels are not dance floors and you are not a pop star! If it happens again, I shall find ways to cut you down to size. In other words, your career is on the line. Need I say more?

I hope he doesn't hurt his passengers.

What's that about me? I'm a plain engine, and I believe in plain speakin'. Speak up!

Rusty warned Duncan about the bad bit of line.

Hmph! I know my way about. I don't need smelly diesels to tell me what to do.

Nothing's happened! Nothing's happened! Smelly old Diesel, clever me!

And he rocked and he rolled along the line.

Steady, boy!

But it was too late. Duncan was derailed on the bad bit of rail.

Sleepers and ballast! I'm off!

[sings] Peter Sam's said again and again,

The other engines don't laugh at Peter Sam's funnel now. They wish they had one like it.
