Thomas & Friends quotes

[about the accident] It wasn't your fault, Elizabeth. It's the slippery roads.

Don't use the old wooden bridge. It's dangerous.

How would you know? You're only a diesel.

[to Duncan, after crossing the collapsed bridge earlier] That was very irresponsible.

Yes, sir. Sorry, sir, and Rusty, you were very brave.

Yes, Rusty. You really are a useful engine.

Thank you, sir.

Hello, Thomas. I'm taking the Fat Controller to Sports Day.

You can see the egg-and-spoon race.

I didn't know eggs and spoons had races.

The children race with eggs on spoons.

And the winner gets a medal. I wish I could have a medal.

You need to win a race first. I'll race you, Thomas.

Three cheers for Thomas, the #1 engine!

But I still won the race.

Thomas just peeped happily.

[after Thomas is put back onto the track] How did you get into this mess?

I was looking for the tuba player.

Look and listen. If he's a tuba player, he might be playing his tuba.

[after Percy whistles to 'Arry and Bert] Call that a whistle? Just listen to this! [blasts his horn]

Diesels can do anything better than steamies!

My whistle is just as good as your silly old horns!

[after Percy used his whistle properly] Well done, Percy! You blew your whistle at the right time, and saved Thomas from an accident. You are a really useful engine, and a safe one.

[after Diesel shunts him under the hopper] Cinders and ashes!

What's that horrible smell? Oh, it's just a stinky old steam engine.

How rude!

No wonder the Fat Controller is thinking of scrapping steamies.

I don't believe you.

Ahoy there, me hearties! Fresh diesel from the Mainland!

Haha! This new fuel makes my axles tingle.

Coal doesn't make my axles tingle. I wish I had fresh fuel from the depot.

[about the new fuel] Oh, my!

I'm the fastest engine in the world! Look at me go!

I feel sick.

[breaking down as well] So do I.

What are those children doing?

That's the old Sodor wishing tree.

A wishing tree?! How wonderful! Do you think it would make my wish come true?

It might.

I wish I could pull the Express instead of Gordon.

My wish has made Gordon go the repair yard!

[shows off his new coat of paint] Look at me! Don't I look fine?

You should be at work.

Looking splendid is not the same as being Really Useful.

But best of all is being Really Useful and splendid - like me!

[after his accident with the difficult bend] I can't go around the difficult bend. I'm not a useful engine without Annie and Clarabel.

You are a really useful engine, and a jolly good friend!
