Thomas & Friends quotes

Emily

[spots a water tower obstructing her line] Oh, no! Hurry up! [whistles impatiently]

Not if you ask like that!

Emily

I've got an urgent delivery!

Hello.

Emily

She won't do a thing I tell her.

That's because you're a "big bossy boiler". You should try asking nicely for a change.

Emily

[takes a deep breath] I'm sorry I was rude, but can you help me get this timber to Farmer McColl's? Please? It's to help the baby calves.

Why certainly! I'll get your track cleared in no time!

Emily

Thank you!

Thank you, Emily. The calves will be nice and warm now.

Emily

[after hearing moaning and groaning] What was that? You said there was no such thing as ghosts.

"Silly make-believe" you said.

Cinders and ashes!

Emily

Help! It's the ghost! Let's get away from here!

What is all this fuss and bother?! It has caused confusion and delay!

But sir, the flatbeds were rattling.

Emily

And we heard moaning...

...And groaning!

[to 'Arry and Bert] Do you know anything about this?

It was us, sir.

For your punishment, you will go back and collect the iron at once!

Yes, sir.

Slow coach!

I'm trying me'ardest!

Sheep to market, children to the farm, chickens to school.

[having heard of Thomas' recent troubles] Thomas, you have caused confusion and delay. [tells Thomas what happened] Don't worry. All you need is some help.

Gordon has said a really useful engine never needs help.

[laughs] Pah! I'm always helping Gordon up the Hill!

Gordon was very embarrassed.

Percy and Edward, you are to help Thomas.

[to Thomas] We have to make lots more ice cream. You must go and get the cream, the chocolate, and the strawberries.

Why are all the children cheering?

They're cheering for you. They've been waiting for the ice cream.

Today, you have worked extra hard. You are a really useful engine.

Delivering ice cream is a fun job after all.

[running out of water] I don't feel well.

Your water tanks have run dry.

Please push me to the water tank.

I'm sorry. You wouldn't take my slate trucks to the quarry and now I'm running late with my passenger train.

Why didn't you fill water this morning, matey? [James explains his troubles] I've heard you were too busy to help Edward too!

I was in a hurry! My job is the most important!

No job is more important than helping another engine.

What's so special about a carpet? Maybe it's a magic carpet! I've heard tiller that it can fly! Do you know any magic words?

You mean like "please"?

No, Percy. Other magic words like, "Hey, Presto", "Hocus Pocus", and "Abracadabra"!

[the carpet is loaded on his truck] It doesn't look very magic.

I know! I'll say a magic word - Hey, Presto! Hocus Pocus! Abracadabra! Please?

[to the artist] Everywhere on Sodor is special, and so are the people and the children and the engines! We are all special!

I have found the perfect thing to paint.

What is it?

I am going to paint Percy!

[surprised] Bust my buffers! You want to paint me?!

Percy is honest, hardworking and helpful - and he is not afraid to speak his mind. He is surely the Spirit of Sodor.
