Thomas & Friends quotes

You're useless little bugs! If you put these trucks on the inside lines, then I wouldn't have so far to travel!

Rubbish! We always arrange our trucks like this, and no crane has ever complained before!

Well, I'm complaining now.

Oh, thank you! What would I have done without you?

Well, I had to be rescued before I could help you, but I never thought it would be a couple of b-b- "Small engines". Thank you, I'll never be rude again. However, you two mites are in my way, so move over!

Pah! He's back to bugging us! [lurches backward]

Don't move! You're still attached to Cranky!

But it was too late.

Hey you down there. Your jobs done now. These lorries are taking over. One of them wants to talk to you.

The lorry was very rude.

What's that steaming lump of scrap iron doing here? Be off with you!

Scrap iron? Steaming scrap iron? Pah!

What's this lump of steaming scrap iron?

I'll be back. So you can wipe that silly smile off your smokebox.

Ha! [blows steam at him loudly]

Then Butch the Breakdown Vehicle arrived. He was towing the lorry from the flour mill.

What happened?

He was overloaded with flour, and he broke down.

Not very useful now are you? (Michael Angelis: Said Toby.)

Grr!

Then James whistled excitedly.

They're bringing in the third lorry on a barge. What happened to that one?

The stupid lorry was reversing and fell straight into the sea.

Later Thomas arrived. He looked at the 3 lorries and laughed.

[looks at the damaged lorries] Well, well, well. The brothers grim. Smashed, broken, and sunk!

Come on! Come on! I can go faster than this! Sick, me?! Never!

[after the crash] Well, Gordon, I know you wanted a panoramic view, but this is not the way to achieve it.

Yes, sir. Sorry, sir.

[about her husband's new outfit] It's perfect for my birthday party. You look splendid, Topham Dear.

Then I'll wear my finest hat just for you. Your birthday is a great occasion.

It is. So don't be late.

Don't worry, my dear. I shall be spic and span and right on time.

[to Caroline] Call yourself a car?! You're a disgrace to the road! Find yourself a scrapyard!

Can I be your assistance, sir?

Only if you can get to my wife's birthday party.

We can take you to Thomas, he's just down the line.

Much obliged.

If you can't push trucks properly, Henry, why not talk to a tree instead? You know how much you like the forest.

As a matter of fact, bossy boiler, the Fat Controller is inspecting the island for trees that are too close to the line. He's worried they might cause trouble.

Ha! If I came upon a tree, I'd just push it aside!

Really?

Make way for an important engine!

You wouldn't feel important if one of these trees crashed on you. You'd feel hurt.

Rubbish! It wouldn't dare!

You should be careful, James. Trees can be just as powerful as engines.

Oh, please!

[looks at Gordon's fire] I don't know what's wrong. There must be gremlins about.

What are gremlins?

I heard that they're little green men who play tricks.

Can we find one?

Pah! Gremlins don't exist. They're just an excuse when things go wrong and no one knows why.

If firelighter says there are gremlins, there are.

Ha!

What's the dog's name?

Well, after today's events, I think I'll rename him Gremlin.

In that case, I've met one at last! [laughs]

Excuse me, Sir. But who is your very important visitor?

Why didn't I tell you? This lady is my mother. And she agrees with me: You are indeed really useful engines. And my mother, of course, is always right! [laughs again]

Bumpy ride on rotten rails. I'm glad it's over.

So am I.

Look who's here!

George had been found out by the Fat Controller and punished. He looked miserable.

Now we'll get some peace at last.

I want to get rolling again, but I've got to wait a whole week 'til I do.

And then you'll be just as rude as ever, eh, George?

I hope not, don't you?

My favorite station is Ffarquhar.

Mine's Maithwaite. Percy, what's yours?

[sleepily] The docks.

Ha! We can tell!

The docks are full of fish, not flowers.

[wide awake] All right, then, Arlesdale End.

That's my home!

That's why I like it. Especially when you're there and not here saying I'm silly! Good night.
