Thomas & Friends quotes

Railways are no good! Turn them into roads! Pull 'em up! Turn them into roads! Railways are no good! Turn them into roads! Pull 'em up! Turn them into roads!

Hmph! You're Sir Handel, I suppose.

Sir Handel was standing no nonsense.

And you, I suppose, are George. Yes, I've heard of you.

And I've heard of you. You swank around with your steamroller wheels, pretending you're as good as me!

Actually, I'm better. Goodbye!

Aren't you gonna polish me too?

Sorry. Not today. I'm going now. I'm helping the refreshment lady this afternoon. We must get the ice cream ready for the passengers. Never mind, Duncan.

But Duncan did mind.

It isn't fair! Peter Sam gets a special funnel, Sir Handel gets special wheels, passengers get ice cream, but I'm not even polished!

No passengers means no polish.

And no polish means no passengers.

[to Rheneas] You're a gallant little engine! When you're rested, we'll mend you, so you'll be ready for tomorrow.

You know, this helps a little engine to feel that at last, he has really come home!

Can you help me find another engine?

Where?

Where you found Oliver.

You mean on The Other Railway?

Yes. I'm looking for a bluebell engine.

I'd like to help. But these days, it's only diesels that go there.

So that's where I'll go! [leaves]

Take care.

Who are you?!

I'm a shed and sidings inspection diesel. Have you any engines in the shed?

No. None!

Then what about the sidings?

One. We have one.

Then I'll just go and inspect.

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!

[about steam engines] They have their uses. They can save the wear on a poor cars wheels!

Disgraceful!

Disgusting!

Despicable!

To say such things to us! It's to teach him a lesson he be wantin', now how do we do it?

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.

An elephant pushed me, an elephant hooshed me!
